I dunno, I just read it with another reader and it seemed to fly by quite well and easily.

I see where you're coming from, though. I was just interested in where it was going.

I wonder if DD forces all the prisoners to dress classy, judging by the one carapacian prisoner we've seen thus far.

It looks like that's WV, and I think if WV wasn't having his clothes dictated by prototyping or exile he'd be a drat snappy dresser. He is a would-be mayor, after all :colbert:

I think someone already mentioned that it looks like WV, but yeah.


For some reason I'm imagining WV as Boris Johnson now. Now everything is terrible.

That's uncanny.


However now I just feel as though someone should make a sequence of the sprite transformation going down to the theme of Vegeta going SSJ the first time.

"Let me ask you, does a machine like yourself ever experience fear?"

Not when you've become ARquisprite, Vegeta. Not when you've become ARquisprite.

Dirk is the most competent person on the team, he just has the emotional intelligence of a confused turtle.

Could you tell me what the emotional intelligence of a confused turtle, or any turtle, would comprise of? I'm not sure if a turtle could handle Dirk problems.



I do enjoy that little doodle of Caliborn's. Just because it took me a few seconds to figure out what that orange blob was. And also that Jake looks horrified.

We're in agreement here. Well, there's more to it. I'm about to embarrass myself here.

Dirk's a classic control freak. He needs to feel like he knows why everything is happening, even if it's unpleasant; there needs to be some reason, some plan. Irony is how he creates a reason for everything he does. He plans things meticulously, so that he can think of everything he does as being according to a plan. When he doesn't know what to do, he doesn't want to think about it. This, of course, stands to reason - he may have grown up alone and miserable in an orange soda-infested apartment in the middle of the ocean, but as long as that extremely bad situation serves some purpose, he can live with it. Tendentiously, he quickly grows restless and uncomfortable when things are out of his hands; consider his admonitions to Roxy that she stop sleepwalking, his coordinating everybody's entry, the way he smothers Jake, and now, the way he freaks the gently caress out when his friends show up insane, candy-coated, and trying to smooch him. Desperately, he falls back first on describing what is happening in an unflattering manner, then on acting aloof and dangerous, then finally just giving up.

Yeah. He was definitely freaking the gently caress out.

Davesprite is definitely at a loose end but I think it would be nice if he met up with Arquiusprite. They can both bond over being secondary duplicates of a main character, and maybe AR can teach Dave a thing or two about self confidence - dude needs to learn that he still has some value and relevance despite being a so-called redundant duplicate.

Also, where are jaspersprite and nannasprite going off too? I'd like to say 'to meet up with Jane and Roxy' but both those characters have more pressing matter at hand right now.

I don't think Arquiussprite is a/are secondary duplicate(s) of characters. He is technically a combination of two characters in the "alpha" timeline (so to speak) in sprite form.

Also, I think Davesprite is going to miss John a lot. He wouldn't pull out all those watermarks for him otherwise. Everyone knows how John feels about Davesprite's watermarks.

He's part Equius, correct, but you need to remember that AR is a duplicate of Dirk, just one that couldn't age past 13 and was stuck in a pair of shades.

If that's so then you guys are going to need to tell me what exactly you mean by "secondary" duplicate.

I'm in the UK and there were a few things I just didn't recognise. Like fruit gushers, or Betty Crocker as a company in general, though I did notice that apparently they sell pancake mix over here now but only around Pancake Day. I had no clue what juggalos were, or ICP in general pre-Homestuck. And I didn't know who Guy Fieri was, though his shows are on TV over here, just only on specialist digital stations so that's more of a gap in my own pop-cultural knowledge than anything else.

I wouldn't be surprised about any real mainstream holywood stuff, american movies are shown all over the globe.



I made a Devil's Mix chocolate cake with university friends before Christmas. Betty Crocker has been a thing here for some time, it's just seldom advertised.

So...then Caliborn and Calliope aren't paradox clones? This is just confusing, it's been said since Act 3 that every Sburb player is a paradox clone of themselves made of ectoslime. But here Caliborn and Calliope were born naturally. Am I mixing up information or not because if I'm not then either

A) Aranea's story is wrong because it makes no sense for them to be Sburb players if they were naturally conceived and not clones of themsleves.

B) This session won't be scratched at all. Which I think is a conclusion that can be drawn if the two Cherubs aren't clones.

(Also obligatory "male pregnancy in homestuck hahaha" goes here.)

I don't think the normal Sburb rules apply to Caliborn's session... I can't say how exactly, but it isn't quite the same as the other sessions we're familiar with.

Speaking of treasures, I received some kickstarter stuff today. This artwork print is flipping huge. I will literally have nowhere to put it.
