Welp I just dropped another :10bux:x7 on this thing. I think I'll probably gift the book to my folks back home, I think my younger siblings would like it. And it's slightly more appropriate than giving them Homestuck swag for Christmas :v:

Fake edit: I love Homestuck, i just think it's not yet appropriate for the youngest of my siblings.

Real edit: 599 dollars to go :)

I will buy any avatar for the person who makes me a quality avatar of the King's expression in panel 6.

I don't remember pledging for these, but I got a set of the little portraits of Cuco, Almond, Carrot, Peridot, Bacon, Cabbage, and the Nightmare Knight. I have no idea what to do with these. I love them and they're pretty, but what do I do with them :confused:

What do you think the chances are they're actually going to seal them away permanently at the end anyway? I mean, that would take competence :v:

Unsounded is good, but it is not at all like Cucumberquest :catstare:

Monster Pulse is good, but it alternates between :3: and :gonk:

Kiwi Blitz is similar with a bit less :gonk:

Uhh the one about Bacon's goofy antics? I dunno, I just thought of it off the top of my head. Maybe I subconsciously grabbed it from some other RPG! Or Paper Mario since that seems to be the most frequent explanation.

Oh my gosh, that's a lot more graphic than Splashmaster's death. I thought this was supposed to be a lighthearted comic Gigi! :(

Wonder why he did that though? Is he tired of this cycle and trying to get this one over with? Or is he hoping Cucumber will break it somehow?

Well technically Splash didn't die :eng101:

I wonder what game Dub-Knights is playing here though.

I'm so confused

No, that's just his pet.

Noisemaster seems pretty fatalistic about this whole thing. I wonder why? I mean, he certainly didn't seem very happy about it earlier.

E: I just realized he's kind of got the profile of a butterfly, with those streamers coming off his head and back :raise:

HMS Beagle posted:

Could that be a second Disaster Master? If you look at these disaster stone pins there's one that sort of looks like a musical rest next to noise master's, and there are enough masters that there should be one kingdom that gets two, which I believe gigi has mentioned on her tumblr. Edit: Here's the tumblr post where she mentions that two of the DMs are probably hanging out together

Spoiler text is stuff from the cucumber store and gigi's tumblr.

This actually works really well. Going by the symbols, the Melody Kingdom is fairly obviously the one with two Disaster Masters. Still, this dude has 2 eyes. I don't know if it's actually confirmed everywhere but I thought all of the Disaster Masters shared the trait of having just one eye.

I can't not read Noisemaster's dialogue this last page with some kind of drawl. Not really sure why though. It's really weird because it doesn't really fit very good with most of his other dialogue, at least in my head :confused:]

E: What was it some folks were saying a while ago about Knightmare Knight being the Dream Oracle's former boyfriend and all this stuff basically being her being a jerk?

Popo posted:

Not at all, sorry for coming across like that. It's more the "All the worlds problems are because of a woman" thing. She's a jerk, no doubt but the implication the whole legendary quest is just her getting at Knitmore Night just seemed a bit much.
Appologise again though, I've been reading a lot of lovely sites like Red Pill for a research project so I'm a bit jumpy at these things right now. Didn't mean to start anything or be all SJW.

I totally agree with you about the Red Pill and poo poo. Fuckers are pretty gross.



It's just that I also can totally see the Dream Oracle having a big enough Jerkface stat to start this thing off and then being too lazy to actually do anything about it when it turned into a loop :effort:

Basically, it doesn't seem out of character to me.

Razorwired posted:

I don't understand why people would see this as any kind of a turn or stretch for Almond. She's one of my favorites but she made the story happen by deliberately handing the Disaster Stone over to the bad guys so she could become the Legendary Hero.

This one biting her is a good opportunity for character growth but saying Almond has a beatdown coming because she acted like Almond is stupid.

I agree, it's not out of character. It's just started coming around to bite her in the rear end. I don't think she'll get too mauled, Cucco should be doing something by now.

Oh my god, I'm suddenly terrified of Noisemaster.

You weren't three pages ago?

E: I just realized that the two non-muted characters in this page are the princesses. Noisemaster certainly seemed to have some other kind of plan up his sleeve, beyond what he was telling Knightmare Knight.

If he absconds with the two of them and starts some crazy plot where he's collecting the princesses for some reason, I'm not sure if that's not cool or really cool. On the one hand, implications; on the other, a twist to shake up the "find princess/defeat master/move to next kingdom" formula plot. Hm.
