I'm just going to assume it won't be up tomorrow so I can actually focus at work (and so I won't cry too much if it actually isn't up tomorrow). Matter of fact, now seems like a good time for a re-read.

Zorak posted:That's my impression as well. All the kids in this world are non-existent, and all the players of the session that replace them are their guardians, now older and also raised by the masters of the system they'll be participating in basically. I hope that's not the case. I'd really like to see pre scratch John meet up with post scratch Dad, so they can both be simultaneously reunited with their dead fathers. Anyways, that wouldn't make sense what with Jade being Jake's grandmother.

^^ Troll anime is a highly sophisticated and celebrated art form. Only crass peasants would fail to appreciate its beauty. Gotta love Karkat's reaction to "we all contributed to the contents of this bucket". Pessimism fucked around with this message at 02:18 on Dec 23, 2011 |

Roger Explosion posted:Also, I put my money on Bunnybot quick-stepping in and getting Jane away at the last second. Clearly the explosion blew her up and over the tree, concussing her severely. Her character arc will focus mainly on her heroic efforts to relearn how to speak and walk. Also, the bunny has a name, you know.

Pleasant Friend posted:Yes, traditional media would cast these characters with white rolls. Also I acknowledge they are living in western, traditionally white households. Obviously it's possible for individuals with these characteristics and backgrounds to be some race other than white. I think the problem a lot of people are having is the implication that western/caucasian culture is being used as the default blank slate here. It's kind of disingenuous to write kids with european surnames and white suburban cultures and then claim that not only are they supposed to be blank, non racial characters, but that it is actually racist to assume they're meant to be white. Again, not saying the dude's a racist, but I can see where people are coming from here.

Armadillos! posted:people are just dropping the term 'white privilege' like it's nothing. Like that in itself isn't a massively loaded racial term and probably quite offensive TOO. Hahaha, what? No, privilege is a real thing and acknowledging its existence isn't 'probably quite offensive'. Also, pointing out that someone has privilege isn't the same as calling him a racist. Like, at all.

Snollygoster posted:What surprised me was how Hussie clubbed the reader with Dirk's being-gay-ness. He's left enough hints in the writing up to this update to convict a criminal. I'm not saying he "shouldn't" have gone with being this direct! What I'm saying is it felt like Hussie going "HERE, DO YOU GET IT, STUPIDS?" That wouldn't make sense, since people were speculating that Bro was gay since the beginning of time.

Talorat posted:Nope its totally real. My favorite part is that despite having a supposably gender neutral pronoun in Ze, they still find the need to have a feminine equivalent of Zir. If its a gender neutral pronoun why would you need two of them? Zir isn't the feminine equivalent of Ze, it is the same pronoun. Ze/zir is equivalent to she/her or he/his. For example, "she took her ball to the park" becomes "ze took zir ball to the park"  The more you know!

ActionZero posted:I've done a little bit of poking around fansites and the sheer amount of this I've seen is an absolutely fascinating contrast to the usual internet fare of "These people must be gay even though they've only shown normal friendly interaction with each other, here read my John/Dave fanfic that explains their true love". I think there are people out there who just fetishize the idea of straight dudes making out or something, because there is always a shitload of OMG STRAIGHT GUY A AND STRAIGHT GUY B ARE TOTALLY FUCKIIIGN in fandom but not so much excitement over actual gay male characters.

Hussie posted:It’s nicely done, but it’s a drat show for kids. I do some silly poo poo with my spare time but I am not a child. Well, this actually made me feel a little bad about my tv watching habits. WHOOOOOOOOOO lives in a pineapple under the sea?? Haha who am I kidding, I love that poo poo. fake edit: Really interested to see what goes down with the carapace people this time around. I wonder if this universe's WV will be inspired to do any uprising? Maybe not, since Dirk's pretty much got that in the bag. It would be kind of a trip if B1's WV showed up and met himself. I think if two Jacks met they'd probably just go for a tandem stab attempt, and whichever one had more omnipotent dog powers would win.

Dolash posted:Interesting to imagine there were doomed timelines where Eridan and Feferi overcame their troubles and went God-tier, even if it still didn't work out (they died). Kind of sad really that Eridan only became the huge rear end in a top hat that he is/was due to fate deeming that to be the Alpha timeline - it'd do a lot for Alpha Eridan's sympathy if we were to hear him bemoaning the fact that the only way he could be a better person was by dooming the timeline. Bullshit, Eridan was a douche from page one and getting all murder happy was completely in character for him. I really can't see him doing some tragic soliloquy about how he must sacrifice his personal goodness to save the timeline or whatever.

At this point I can only assume Karkat just secretly enjoys getting into verbal slapfights with himself. I mean, from the sound of things, everyone else is just kind of tired of listening to his rants, so who else is there? ...man that's kind of depressing actually
