I just checked Skaianet Imageboard and there's already accurate-to-a-T fanart of dogtier Jade from several people :psyduck: Go to bed you maniacs!

e: I know that people are fully capable of doing great fanart in the span of 1-2 hours, but what the hell :psyduck: My lack of productivity in comparison is shameful

e2: oh, I've also neglected to check and see how many of them are actually members of the art team. That could explain a few of them.

Guessing that's what will finally cause a more serious John mental breakdown of sorts. Iirc his last conversation with Karkat implied that everything that's happened was starting to get to him and he was pretty intent on not losing anyone else.

And in a truly ironic twist, John will be the only god tier to turn evil and serve Lord English.

For reference, I was talking about their journey from the centre of the green sun to its surface. If the thing is twice the size of our universe and spherical, then it has a radius of 60 billion light years. All I meant was that immense distances in the story are rather easily dismissed by various plot elements.

Thundarr mentioned earlier that it's twice the mass of a universe, so perhaps the green sun is simply dense.

But personally, I think Rose and Dave were being continuously pushed outward due to the fact that it was formed in a giant cosmic explosion.

I'm going straight for the supposed "hard mode" by choosing the whole exchange between Jade and Jadesprite.
http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005146

So many callbacks. And it made everybody worry about how it was going to end. Then Karkat both spares us of that fate and then makes us see it with his own imagination. The interruption via multiple computers going off is my favorite single page.

E: I had linked somewhat in the middle of the conversation (when it started getting violent), so here's the link to the beginning

They also run completely different webcomics in vastly different styles. CAD is episodic and meant to set up a scenario at the beginning of a comic strip and end with a punchline. MSPA comics are continuous stories where no single page stands alone as an entire story arc. The reason why people make fun of CAD for being full of words is because it doesn't suit the medium. Word bubbles aren't meant to contain complete 3-4 sentence paragraphs. They are often big enough to make it appear as if the characters and art were crammed into the panel around the word bubbles rather than the word bubbles being placed in the empty space that the artist intended for them. In Homestuck, pesterlogs tend to be so long and drawn out because they're presented in the form of chat logs. Because of the medium through which the story is being driven, Hussie can get away with a lot of words, especially since they're all moving a story forward.

And then you have Karkat, who can be redundant and ramble on through several sentences without making the point he was setting out to make. But that's characterization.

So the rifle came from Eridan, the needles from Echidna(?), and the sword as part of Dave's personal quest. Are we left with assuming that the Warhammer of Zillyhoo originated with Gamzee? 2 weapons from denizens and 2 from trolls.

I guess what I question now is how these weapons were ever acquired pre-SGRUB.

The new troll being the Signless makes no sense though, other than the obvious parallel to Karkat's first appearance and the grey text. She's female, for one, and has been awake on Prospit most of her life.

Also: she has a sign. While alive. That seems to be more than enough evidence that she's not the Signless.

If it's just the case that it's like Aradia, I don't see why the Prospitians would say the game is lost. The Prospitians have a pretty good understanding of how the game works and even knowledge of the future, according to the book you find in the in the Flash game before you find the dead parents.

Would it just be a Prospitian thing? Because Jack never seemed to catch on to the whole idea of dream selves.

Thinking back to the Rise Up flash, did we ever find out just how much WV knows about god tier mechanics or even the idea of dream selves? He seemed awfully distraught despite having seen John as god tier after the stabbing (e: but before his exile). Maybe he didn't recognize cause and effect, or even properly understand the order of events?

It looks like an entirely different color rather than just being a little off.

There also seems to be a difference in color between the standard tees and the girly tees. Is it just the lighting, perhaps?
