So hey, I just wanna say that I called the EoA being dropped on 10/25 just for the sake of it being on 10/25, but people shot it down because Hussie didn't care about hitting "special date" deadlines in the past. Anyway welcome back MSPA thread I missed you.

Well gently caress, I got about four minutes in and then got an error message. I then started cursing wildly because I expected it to be some sort of meta-troll by the Huss, but apparently not.

It zooms in to the last bit, which is only a snippet, cut off horizontally so all you can see of Gamzee's message is:

loquacius posted:That said I'm STILL not sure how I feel about him being the one to get moirailed instead of Vriska. Not that I was her hugest fan for most of her existence, of course, but she really could have gotten her showboating rear end calmed right the gently caress down just as easily as Gamzee had. All it would have taken is Kanaya finding her on that roof instead of Terezi, and she was much closer to redemption than Gamzee was or is.

Gabriel Pope posted:Not necessarily; Kanaya's tried to reason with Vriska before and it hasn't worked, and it's possible that Karkat's shooshing efforts may have been bolstered by his title as the Knight of Blood. From Greek medical humor theory we get the word "sanguine", which literally means "bloody" but which is more commonly used to describe a chill, content demeanor; maybe Karkat's Hero of Blood power is DOING THE SHOOSHY THING.

No, gently caress you guys, Lord English is horrific. Also this is probably just the beginning and he will probably mutate into some Gigas-esque formless mostly-green-but-tinged-with-the-color-of-every-billiard-ball all-consuming cloud at some juncture too, and the cloud is actually the size of the entire universe. And it contains everything that has ever existed or ever will exist.

I'm finally making an archive trawl after delaying it for so long and a lot of the memories are coming back now. Remember back when a lot of people complained about (half) an entire act dedicated to the trolls? I think we can all say the payoff was well worth it.

Going through the archives, it's kinda sad reading Karkat's first interactions with the kids (earliest chronologically for the kids, that is), because he's loving broken compared to how he is most of the time due to how much he has gone through, and he's just trying to get them to listen but it's the first or second time they've ever talked to him and they just tell him to gently caress off.

Homestuck might have to be a book series, really, if you'd want to really keep the authenticity. Someone did the word count and it's nearly as long as Lord of the Rings. It'd have to be pretty much completely rewritten but it could very well be made into a trilogy.

Arrhythmia posted:Pretty sure it only came out to two-thirds the length of LotR, which is still massively long, but considering that Act 6 and 7 are supposed to be shorter than Act 5, I doubt Hussie's going to break that word count. Unrelatedly, it occurs to me during my archive trawl that this chatlog right here may very well have been the last thing John saw before he caused the Scratch. Awkward conversations abound on the other side. JT Jag fucked around with this message at 07:08 on Nov 7, 2011 |

I only just now kinda got the whole "Speaker of the Vast Croak"/"Speaker of the Vast Joke" thing. There's no huge significance behind it, I can just sorta imagine agents of the black kingdom being all "MORE LIKE A VAST JOKE AMIRITE".

(regarding Kanaya transforming into a a glowing vampire thing) AA: you are undergoing a metamorphosis which you have been groomed for since you were very young AA: much like i was for my various personal iterations including this one (referencing her reaching God Tier) Considering the suspicious circumstances by which her dreamself found itself on that quest bed along with strange statements like this, it kinda tosses another one on the "Aradia is working for Lord English, whether she knows it/is willing or not" wagon.

Cyrai posted:This is a random question that I've never been able to figure out: what word is 8r8k supposed to be? The only word I can think of is 'break', but Vriska uses 8s either in place of Bs or in place of the sound 'ate', and 'break' doesn't have a T sound anywhere. Is she using it differently in just this one place, or is it some other word that I just can't think of?

Also there's their very chat tags, which are reflections of one another: John's is ectoBiologist, and Karkat's is carcinoGeneticist. John's refers to his ectobiological role, and Karkat's is loving loading with symbolism: the carcino part refers to him representing the Cancer part of the Zodiac, and references how he caused the cancer in the universe, it's him.

Of course, the lovely stories and details people write about their fan trolls are not canon They all are just, you know, there. Existing in Alternia, or possibly a part of Her Condensce's invasion fleet. And now they are all dead.

I don't know what you guys are talking about, the latest comic looks perfectly normal. I have a strange urge that just hit me to break up with my girlfriend, bake a big cake, eat the whole thing in one sitting because of my relationship depression and then fall into a food coma, though. And the weird thing is I don't even have a girlfriend.
