QueerPope posted:While we wait for 11/11/11, why don't we appreciate this wonderful thing that showed up over in the Fandom!Secrets thread. Why Jade = Reagan? I mean, Sollux = bipartisanship and Feferi = social welfare programs are easy enough deductions to make, Karkat = leftism and Gamzee = the middle class is a bit of a stretch, and Vriska = Vriska is pretty self-evident, but Jade = Reagan just comes out of left field.

It reminds me of cartoons like "Samurai Jack" where the bad guys were giant monsters or robots, so their "blood" was always radioactive green or black and they could show as much bloody carnage as he wanted as long as there wasn't any "human" blood shown. Quite a few action cartoons from my childhood did this if I remember correctly. e. Also I think Sam Raimi had to use multi-colored mystery liquids instead of blood quite a few times in the Evil Dead trilogy because otherwise the films would have had too much blood in them.

Oxxidation posted:That's nothing. The series is riddled with scenes where Jack just wanders into a bar and straight-up goes pro ice on some bug alien. Who then explodes. Robot! I do not look forward to the day when robots gain sentience and human rights and all of a sudden it's not "PC" to have wanton robot decapitations in children's cartoons. Also, a Hivebent animated series by Genndy Tartakovsky would be awesome as gently caress. The stylized character design and PG alien ultraviolence would be sure to make it a hit among all male age demographics.

From what I remember, Hussie doesn't do that much planning ahead when he writes, so he shows you the red herrings and the truth at the same time and doesn't decide which is which until later on (sometimes much, much later on). Which I think is a pretty cool way of doing things.

H.P. Shivcraft posted:Let's throw some impossible, groundless speculation on this roaring bonfire and maybe burn off our eyebrows. I always thought that successful players would be a bit more direct than that. I mean, players who play the game right end up immortal, with fantastic powers and fancy costumes. They'd probably be more of the kind of gods in ancient mythology who physically intercede in the affairs of the world rather than the more modern Western kind of gods as invisible forces that influence people by speaking to them or sending down prophets.

Let out an audible "OH poo poo" at "Jake English". Also, since "The Time Traveling Demon" is apparently a real movie in this universe, that means there are four actors named "John Egbert", "Rose Lalonde", "Dave Strider", and "Jade Harley" completely unrelated to the kids or the new guardians (as far as we know) as well as a director/producer/writer named "Andrew Hussie" in this universe.

We know that Doc Scratch engineers the races in the post-Scratch universes to be more adept at winning SxxxB. The trolls became bloodthirsty and competitive, with a penchant for building really tall houses. Here it looks like the change in the human race to allow them to better play the game is more highly advanced sylladex technology, which would definitely give the players an edge. I wonder what other facets of human society has changed. The "multiglobal empire" thing implies spacefaring technology, at least...

Fortis posted:It's (very, very remotely) possible that the original kids have been working in the background for 2.5 years and this is a bit of a timeskip for everybody. This makes me think of John, Rose, Dave, Jade, and the (still alive) trolls flying around the world foiling Betty Crocker's plans like a Justice League comprised entirely of thirteen-year-old/six-sweeps-old kids. It would be like one of those stories where Lex Luthor becomes president and the superheroes have to do all their heroing underground. And you know what? That's a pretty cool mental image to me.

Reregular posted:Actually no, Crocker wants humans to cease reproduction. I was just wondering so people wouldn't get so up in arms about fanart. I don't see how you putting that idea out there makes it any more palatable.  Considering one of the subliminal messages is "DIE", I'm beginning to think that humans on this Earth may be an oppressed indigenous minority Crocker wants to drive to extinction for whatever reason. Really makes me wonder what the turning point was in this universe's history (besides the First Guardian being different). edit: probably alien invasion. In the 1950s. Why not?

Sepherothic posted:Countdown to Jake booty shorts thigh holster fanart... Eventually the time gap between Homestuck and Homestuck fanart will become so small that both will happen simultaneously. This is the Homestuck singularity, and like the technological singularity, it is eagerly anticipated by nerds of all kinds. The real danger, though, is when the time gap between Homestuck and Homestuck fanart becomes negative and fanart starts being created before there is even anything to make fanart of. This reversal of causality will turn the universe inside-out.

I finally finished the Dog Tier Jade strife theme I was working on! I ended up collaborating with another fan musician, DiamondCrash, to make something really special! DC did all the guitars and even redid the drums when I got too frustrated with the way mine were turning out. I never realized how fun collaborations could be.

It's a lot simpler and easier to use than FL Studio, although FL Studio comes with better presets. And by 'comes with better presets" I mean it comes with presets.

If each book ends up being an act, Book 5 will be about as many pages as The Lord of the Rings unless Andrew does some serious trimming. I'd expect a lot of Hivebent to be condensed, along with probably some of the Scratch section. Also wondering how Andrew's going to tackle the walkaround flashes. But that isn't going to happen for a while.
