Homestuck is a puzzle, but also a solution to a puzzle.

Is it the same puzzle, though?

In case anyone was wondering, no, Caliborn's "true land" doesn't actually have a name.

Either that, or my timing is just poo poo :iiam:

They're chopped-up bits and pieces of previous land names, apparently; about the only thing we can guess is that those words probably are not any of the words they're censored out with. (Kanaya's Frogs certainly didn't have any trace of Frogs in it pre-reveal.)

I think it would be kind of neat if, since Caliborn's original planet was the Land of ____ and ____, that the glitch-text we're now seeing is actually there and he's got some sort of crazy MissingNo. planet.

Someday I'll manage to stay caught up with the thread. I looked three pages back, which obviously wasn't quite far enough.
edit: Also I forgot to set search to order by date rather than relevance so the only high rated Homestuck hits were months old.

I enjoy this because it means that if Vriska hadn't intervened, Aranea would have had at least six pages' worth of things to say about leprechaun genitals. Which is probably cutting it short a bit, by her standards.

I love the nods to parts of the fanbase being inexplicably fascinated with the Felt for a really long time. It died off over time, but for months and months after the Intermission a huge volume of the fanart and such surrounding Homestuck was Felt-centric, and people clamoured restlessly for more adventures with these loveable (?) green coffin fillers.

Kind of obvious observation about Vriska and Aranea:

Vriska had to be the one who controlled the story, who was responsible for everything that happened in it. Since it was going to happen anyway, she had to do it. (Most infamously by prototyping Jack Noir with Bec)

Aranea has to KNOW everything about the story. Even though she is passive instead of active, she still has have that total control over what happens, even if it is just through explicating it.

The instant some fan comes up with a workable theory of leprechaun romance, I want to hear about it. I need to know if there's actually somebody that crazy out there. I'm counting on you, this thread.

You know. The update has revealed that Clover of The Felt was hitting on everyone.

Well then.

Edit: I skimmed a lot of this update so I don't know if this is true or not, but figured it was relevant to the leprechaun genitals discussion.

You should probably be counting on tumblr, actually.

Given the theory that the Squiddles were the 48 players who launched the Trolls session, that could get really complicated.

We will not be learning about Squiddle romance, the main reason being that most monitors are 2-D, and thus unable to properly display a three-dimensional grid.

I wonder if this means this is the actual end of Aranea's story. This wasn't an 8-paged update like the other parts were. I'm hoping we'll actually go back to seeing Caliborn in action and not just hearing about it. Telling is nice, but showing is better.
