I think Maid and Bard might be paired up since Aradia's planet is the Land of Quartz and Melody.

That might just be grabbing at strings though.

For Page/Knight/Heir/Prince/Maid/Bard, I like:

Page/Maid - Both thief and rouge are both focused on being sneaky/stealing there element. Similarly, both page and maid are subservient classes, bound by their element, in contrast to classes like heir. Page, to me, feels more like a voyage of self-discovery (active), while maid is focused on, in Aradia's case, tying up loose ends and fixing the messes of other players.

Heir/Prince - Both "royalty" classes, often get their powers easily or expected to have total dominion over them. Heirs are pages that do not have to work for it, and are very focused on self, while successful princes (i.e. not Eridan) should focus their powers on helping and leading others around them.

Knight/Bard - Probably the weakest pair association, I like Knight/Bard because of their roles in the classic fantasy band of heroes, the knight fighting while the bard providing moral support. but the way they treat their class and/or how the class treats them are very different.

The practice predates Homestuck. Though this is unique in that it's become popular since Homestuck began, unlike the others.

Being aware of a community of readers is one of the very gratifying things about MSPA, I think. So I say, bless you, Luckyellow, and all readers like you, who fall for things like this.

Luckyellow has been saying homestuck sucks and he is leaving the comic for almost 2 years now, since descend. He'll be back.

High praise indeed :). I'm trying to make a v2.1 that rebalances the volume levels a little, but for some reason FL Studio doesn't want to export at the moment. Guess I'll try again tomorrow. A couple of notes: it's a bit slower than the original, and a semitone lower, chiefly because I'm a scrub who works in A minor or C major whenever he can. Happily I think these thing gives the piece a more menacing air.

You should submit this if you hadn't already. My favorite part has to be that middle section with the second melody, love all the sounds you used.

Around a year or so ago after the tsunami hit Japan, Andrew offered sketches for $100, with the proceeds going directly to tsunami relief. I requested a God-Tier Gamzee sketch.

Paypal eventually caught wind of this, and I guess fundraising that way is against some policy of theirs so he was forced to refund everyone. I ended up sending the $100 I gave him to the Japanese Red Cross, and let go of any expectation that I would ever see the sketch since Andrew was no longer under any obligations to send one to me.

Then, I ended up getting this in the mail today:

Is anybody keeping track of the current unanswered questions? There's been such an information dump lately and so many plot points revealed at the change of act that I'm not sure what old unanswered questions are still outstanding.

I think the only things still remaining from pre-act 6 are the true purposes of the denizens, (though i have a feeling it will be answered next intermission) and how exactly Grandpa Harley got into the medium.

Radiation posted a summary of all of the stuff he has done and has to do for the album, and it looks like there's a fair amount still to do: http://fwugradiation.tumblr.com/post/19146139129. So maybe someone was just doing the preliminary setup on bandcamp, and accidentally made it public briefly?

Yeah, when I saw it, it had only 20 or so songs on it, and was pay what you want. Must have been an accidental slip. Anyway, I am very excited for this intermisson, and hope we get another update tonight.

And is it just me, or has Hussie been taking longer then normal to write pesterlogs?

Well Manicured Man posted:

Maybe I can't objectively judge the two albums in comparison to each other because my songs only appeared on the first album, but I really do prefer Album B despite only being about a third of the way through it so far. Maybe it's just that it's easier to enjoy listening to Album B since I don't have to worry about one of my songs coming on and pulling me out of the listening experience, but also Album B just sounds more Homestuck-ish to me than Album A does from a stylistic point of view. Like, the genres and styles have the same eclectic range as the music team. Album B sounds almost like it could be Homestuck Volume 9 in a way Album A doesn't.

Definitely. Almost all of the Universe A songs, especially the ancestors, had a weird faux-orchestral feel that I couldn't really get into, and most of the songs sort of blended together to me. (No offense WellManicuredMan.) Most of the universe B songs feel much more unique, and there are much more that stand up as there own musically. The only part of B I didn't really like was the beginning, oddly enough. The first song that struck out was Blue Atom, and the album didn't get amazing until the last section.

They are pesterlogs within the update.

So many things to learn:


Land of Crypts and Helium, with other three being LOPAN, LOTAK, LOMAX (probably jake)
Jane's consorts have been dead for millions of years.
