Yeah remember, Bacon's not actually a pig. He's just a bunny who looks like one.

Probably.

This guest comic is what it took to get me to decide I should check out Paranatural.

Yeah ok I just finished Chapter 1 and Paranatural is pretty great.

... and that Nautilus' ears have been bound up to straighten them out of their Ripple Kingdom outward curve :gonk:.

That would be creepy, but I don't think it's the case. Look at the original poster. Her ears look straighter than Nautilus' do now and she also has the ribbons. I think they're purely decorative.

He and Cordelia are from somewhere other than Dreamside as evidenced by their "cat ears or something". The CQ book also mentions another world parallel to Dreamside. These may or may not be referencing the same place.

I'm really impressed with how well that little game captured the characters' personalities. It was also pretty tough, though I managed not to lose. Barely. Anyway, very well done!

This is very good stuff.

We've already seen that Noisemaster doesn't seem to be too fond of Nightmare Knight. Considering NK himself has been kinda helping the heroes, I'm not sure what this says about our boy.

I'm thinking it's more likely that the Crystal Kingdom is the one with two DMs. Its entire theme is that it's two kingdoms in one.

Regy Rusty
Apr 26, 2010

At any rate, it's pretty likely that when we visit the Flower Kingdom is when we'll be learning what Saturday's deal is.

Regy Rusty
Apr 26, 2010

I was assuming everyone is familiar with the supplementary information about the kingdoms in the first CQ book. It's been discussed in the thread before.

But yeah the Crystal Kingdom is an island split in two. The west is ruled by Queen Sapphire and the east is ruled by King Ruby.

The melody kingdom's duality didn't really end up playing that much of a role in this chapter, and it's not like the two disaster masters would have been in two different locations, like they could be in the Crystal Kingdom. Of course we'll find out very soon if this large fellow is another DM, but I really doubt it.

So is Cucumber Quest something that she's been kicking around in her head for a while?

In the new CQ book extra features she mentions that some of her earliest Nautilus concept art goes back to 2005. So yeah she's been thinking about this for ages.

What's worse is realizing that Noise did the first thing just to make the second thing happen.

Yeeep. He probably didn't even hurt Nautilus (Chapter 1 implies that Nightmare Knight wants the princesses captured) and just made it look like it so Piano would scream.

Uuuhhh... doesn't Cordelia control Nightmare Knight? I mean she ressurected and summoned him, so she should be the one in control.

Nightmare Knight's made it clear from the beginning that this isn't the case at all.

Regy Rusty

The Oracle is definitely coming off as the enforcer of the cycle, as opposed to NK who seems more to be going through the motions of something he's trapped by. But that's not necessarily true, it's just that Gigi hasn't shown us any chinks in the Oracle's armor, whereas we've seen quite a lot in NK's case.

I'm hoping that 10% is a little smaller. I hate Homestuck so much. It's gotten so convoluted and dumb.

You don't know why you are wasting time on that website. It is for little children who poop hard in their baby rear end diapers.

Also you don't understand what the hell is going on or who all these characters are. It's all a lot of nonsense.

The princess (assuming that's who sunglasses girl is) looks like one cool customer.

What kinda ears does the guy under Cucumber have?

I'm assuming they're a variation of Flower Kingdom ears. They don't exactly match any of the known kingdoms.

Yeah, let's just have it be a boring normal comic.

How can you read this comic and not realize that the endless cycle, and NK's weariness of the whole thing is a central element of the story?

Squidster posted:

Why is this a thing? It is a stupid, stupid thing. There are no hints that Nautilus was captured and memory-erased. There is no fore-shadowing or confirmation of this except for Gigi's twitter feed. It is dumb.


My opinion stands. If a character is whisked away to never-land, it is generally best practice to include some kind of vaguely visible panel where this action takes place.
