Homesuck: Vriska Rising

[Bard The 5th LW]

Well if LE was there, then the universe would be gone, so he's probably not at that stage yet. I do think that its oly a matter of time though, and that Scratch's role is done.

If an ominiscient/omnipotent figure is no longer needed, then its hardly a matter of time before it happens. I think Scratch is going to help Slick kill Snowman or something.

[MuMu]

That would make sense. Snowman dies, the universe ends, Scratch dies thus causing the "Scratch", Lord English booms in.

[Marc v4.0]

I'm still not clear on how, exactly, killing Snowman will do anything at all but oh well

Since I've just now found out that all the intermissions were actually really important, would anyone mind posting links to when the parts where they start? It'd really be helpful for those of us who are just now trying to go back and read them all.

Done (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003054).

[IHateMakingNames]

I don't really think much of the Intermission will be relevant. Just that it's part of the Troll universe's future, that Jack/SS is in it, and that Snowman is in it.

[Hyndrays]

While the link think is about, Can anyone give me a link to the SBaHJ comic pages? I skipped those but my friends tell me they contain some of homestuck's best jokes

[Karrrrrrrrrrrresche]

Okay now he is being incredibly gentlemanly while making threats.

[Aldurin]

Doc Scratch is even better than Vriska. Also damn how is Jack going to hold that bottomless supply of scottie dogs in his hat?

Questioning the relevance of the intermission.

The intermission was not immediately relevant, but it is now unfolding into a big role. It may be possible that the rest of the Felt is irrelevant, for being dead in SS's current timeline, but they did set up the separation of the Midnight Crew (across timelines so they could yell at trolls to do stuff) and I expect this (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003139) to be the most relevant result of the Felt towards the end.

Well, I don't know that I'd call it much of a conspiracy theory anyway. Homestuck has already used a song from EB Halloween, and Radiation is pretty involved with the whole thing. I kinda hope some of his other boss music from EB Halloween ends up being remade and used.

Edit: Hell, it also has the idea of dead and alpha timelines in it.

Yes.

You are.

Edit: Anyway, I'm guessing this is Dave's job. Causing the Scratch, that is.

[Locke cole]

The kids are going to escape into the Trolliverse when the Scratch takes effect, by creating another portal like the one that will be used to banish Jack.

They'll end up meeting their reset selves at some point, I imagine.

[Aldurin]

That's a lot of work just to press the Reset button.

[Karrrrrrrrrrrresche]

So if the Scratch doesn't bring Jack to the troll universe, why would Doc be so interested in ensuring it happens?
Genuine interest in the wellbeing of the humans?

[Loyal]

The Scratch is probably a contributing factor if nothing else. I mean we've also got the Green Sun and The Tumor to deal with, and Jack himself has First Guardian powers which has to count for something.

[Dracorion]

The Scratch contributes to Jack getting into the troll session, which Doc Scratch needs to happen in order for Cal to end up in Kanaya's care.

[Malek]

I wouldn't be surprised if there was another Double Reacharound Combo and the scratch results in the Troll universe. Karkat is Reset John.

[rpgdemon]

Point of contention: If they never existed, the trolls never interacted with them or anything. As the trolls have interacted with them, either the trolls need to be reset as well, or SOMETHING that we know about the scratch/universe isn't correct, or something important was omitted.

I feel as if all the dream stuff currently going on might have something to do with this. Dave's shirt, for example, went from pre-scratch to post-scratch, as he was trying to remember who he was.

[Locke cole]

Or it could be that, much like the non-"Alpha" timelines, a reset timeline counts as a whole different universe. Trollian isn't able to contact any timelines other than this "Alpha" one, and the Scratch eliminates that "Alpha" universe. Hence the howling void in the Trollian portal.

The reset universe isn't the same universe: that's the whole point of altered presets. This isn't like Dave's rewinding, where anything that he does has to have already happened; this is the cessation of one universe, and the birth of an identical one.

Aah, that makes a lot more sense. I was thinking the hard reset meant, "Anything that this explosion hits will never have existed", and not, "Everything still had existed, but is now exploded."

It's still worth wondering, what is the Scratch meant to do, if it's not to be used on unwinnable sessions? And why would Doc want to avoid whatever will happen, if the kids' session continues? If it continued and the universe ended, then his goal would be accomplished. It doesn't make sense.

[synkr0nized]

Hrgg. Just do the stuff already.
The kids and the trolls need to get on the same page, time-wise. And then Jack can meet Jack.

It IS meant to be used in unwinnable sessions.
"TT: You mean, in sessions where victory is no longer possible?
Yes. "
This session is simply unwinnable in a way that is unusual.
"Failure is common. But the composition of yours is quite atypical."

As to why he wants to cause it, it's not so much that he wants to avoid what happens if the kids' session continues. He wants to die, which causing the Scratch, he has said, will facilitate. Presumably the kids' desire not to be erased in the reset will cause them to seek protection from the Scratch as he has not-so-subtly hinted is possible.
"You will be resigned to absolute oblivion.
Unless you can discover a way to preserve yourselves. "
My guess is that will involve finding a way into the troll universe, allowing Jack through as well, which will move his plans forward in some as-yet-unexplained way.

[Locke cole]

John is going to leave the Bunny behind and have it perform the Scratch.

It already has the tools needed.

[Art of Hilt]

I think the ones Liv Tyler has might be too small.
Besides, they're going to have to get the original full-sized ones from the Denizen anyway before the reset if they want to complete the timeloop that allowed it to get to Liv Tyler in the first place.
And I guess they have to strongarm Hephastus into making the Deringer with the broken Caledfwylch?
... man does this mean Rose's Cetus Denizen is going to irrelevant forever? I hope not because, man, that'd be a shame.

Also kids popping up in the troll universe to escape the Scratch is totally the Critical Moment btw.
I have never been so sure of anything ever.
MYSTERY... SOLVED?

[Bard The 5th LW]

And they go to the troll verse only to find Gamzee has already killed everyone. And he will only be oh so happy to have some new friends to play with.

[MuMu]

Jack will be in the TrollVerse, the opposite is more likely to happen. Gamzee will be left alone since it's too dangerous to try to dope him back, reason why he'll be by himself in the computer room.

Or not, Hussie's crazy.

[Art of Hilt]

Man eff Gamzee
John can take his shit
Look I can prove it with maths:

Then he can take the Hammer of Zillyhoo off him and the fourth and final timeloop for the Bunny can finally close up.

Except the one that was Welsh, and the one that was an internet acronym, and the one that was made up by the comic, and the two that are technically Greek but are acceptable for use in English as proper nouns, and the five or so that were English but improperly placed as though used in casual conversation.



Edit: Random question: What is vanishing in this?

http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005080

A sleep bubble. Its fading represents Karkat waking up. It is black to represent that his dreamself had died, and he was dreaming with the Horrorterrors.

[katiuska]

...Huh.

Something I've been wondering: would destroying the Green Sun in any way impair the progress of sessions? We know that First Guardians require it, so I guess the question depends on how integral First Guardians are to the game (the game does seem organized to ensure that one is created in each session) and at what point in any given session the effect takes place. Based on Rose's response, she seems to infer that LE's progression might be the result of a successful Green Sun mission, by effectively leaving him a trail of dead first guardians (each at the end of their journeys*) with dead universes to work his way through.

(*My default assumption is that the effect hits a guardian after their mission is over, because nothing Doc Scratch says suggests that other sessions can't be successful without the Green Sun, so if that's true, either First Guardians are unnecessary, or a given First Guardian has already done what they needed to do when they lose their power source.)

I don't know if that made any sense. I've been doped up and sleeping pills and about to go lie back down.

[Loyal]

The Green Sun exists outside time and space; it would make sense that destroying the Sun would therefore destroy every instance of a First Guardian, ever, retroactively.

Given how time shenanigans work in Homestuck, however, we can draw two conclusions: One, the Green Sun mission fails, or Two, there's an additional factor to all this we're not yet aware of.

[Marc v4.0]

Being outside of Time and Space, the exact time the Green Sun destruction takes place could be different across all sessions, and facilitate LE through all possible game sessions that have taken place or will take place across all universes.

Given how particular Homestuck is about some of their time stuff, this seems a favorite outcome.

[Viridis]

What have I said about confirming the reliability of your sources?
I love how Doc just breaks established things by showing how little the trolls truly know
But there are rules to his entry, and his grim procession through paradox space is rather orderly. The present equilibrium has accounted for him, and will continue to.
So LE isn't quite the Death of Everything Ever Bad Times for Everyone like I had thought. But he IS evil, Scratch reveals, not some big neutral thing a la Galactus

[Dracorion]

The comment about reliability also applies to Scratch himself, I think.

I mean, between universes being created and destroyed, doomed timelines, Sburb sessions and resets, the collective of everything that is, was, could be, never was and never will be is infinite.

Given that we know Scratch isn't really omniscient, just nearly omniscient, then I suspect that dark spots in his knowledge are actually a great many and he's not aware of most of them.

[Art of Hilt]

I love how Doc just breaks established things by showing how little the trolls truly know

To be fair, I suspect that the other ways of God tier that Doc mentions is actually one we've seen before, when Aradia did it. I mean, he just said that there are other Quest Beds, right, so the same mechanics would apply, it'd just be in a different place?
A place like the crypts of Derse.

e- I really have no idea how this would help Rose any more though, like, why would it matter which Bed you kill yourself on?

[Dracorion]

There's the Quest Beds on Skaia.

[Arcanum]

Quest beds also exist within their memories. In other words, her Dreamself will go to the Green Sun, drop of The Tumor, then enter a dream bubble, fall asleep on her dream/memory quest bed, die when the bomb goes off, and then bam! God Tier Rose.

[Pip Boy]

Ceasing to exist is not the same thing as dying.

[Loyal]

Aw, shit.

Y'know, Despite knowing her as "Mom Lalonde" I somehow forgot that she was in fact Rose's mother. I never realized that Rose in particular would have a bad reaction to this because of that.

[Art of Hilt]

Rose showing genuine distress

http://i53.tinypic.com/rm7abt.jpg

oh god this is so sad
she can never apologize to her mother
she can never have the opportunity to understand her
she can never be able to tell her how much she loved her

[Dracorion]

They're doing a reset, remember?

Anyway, I just realized why Rose blacked out from the Trollian screens.

You have exactly a fifty percent chance of ascending to the god tier.
TT: That's a strange answer.
I know.
TT: Why such a precise probability?
Because, much like the decisions you must face to complete your dual suicide missions, you have two ways of achieving godhood to choose from.

[Art of Hilt]

They're doing a reset, remember?

But it won't be her Mom, it'd be alt-Rose's Mom. A stranger with her own daughter.

[MuMu]

Even if they reset, things won't be the same. They might not even be the players of the new session.

I wonder what John's reaction is. I keep picturing him with a serious/derpy face while all windy hell breaks out on the background.

[A Zarkin' Frood]

As far as I understood it they (or instances of them) will be the players of the reset session. Though, they might not at all resemble the kids we know and love personality and appearance-wise because some relevant parameters are changed, with the intention to make them not screw up so hard this time.

And depending on your personal definition of what self means those could be different kids or the same growing up to be completely different people or, who knows, they might just become pretty similar.

[Hyndrays]

Hehe.
Jack looks silly they way he's sitting there like that.

[Arcanum]

Here's the description Doc Scratch gave of the scratch (the bold is my personal emphasis)

The release of temporal energy will be quite massive.
This is a hard reset. It will reboot the conditions in your universe well before you began playing the game.
You will have lived different lives after the reset. The different initial conditions will ideally lead to a more favorable scenario in the new session.
Unfortunately, you will have no memory of anything that has happened in the session you are in now.

In other words, we have no idea who might be the players of the new session. It could be the kids, it could not be. Regardless, the kids will still be relatively the same. It all depends on which "conditions" are changed.

However, I have a feeling (and this is pure speculation) that the kids won't be the players in the reset universe. Instead it will be their grandchildren, or at least Jade's grandson (though probably all of their grandchildren because why introduce even more characters and their grandchildren?). To me the idea that Jade (well, alternate/reset Jade) has a legitimate grandchild makes much more sense than other crazy theories like cross-species mating/ectobiology.

[Fifthfiend]

It's kind of fitting that the one who seemed most distanced from her parent/guardian would be the one hit the hardest by her being killed.

...I mean most distanced who hadn't already long-since had their guardian die and then be taxidermied.

[Dracorion]

So Jade's grandson is going to talk to her and appearify stuff from the future in an alternate version of Jade's session to the wiped out past version of said session?

I dunno, kind of a hard pill to swallow.

It's kind of funny and a little adorable that she just dispatched a murderer, punched a god in the face, and got revenge on her killer, and the first thing she does is turn around from the god that she accidentally seduced and ogle at her girl crush for the 101st time.

Crossing fingers for a conversation with Jade or Karkat tonight. Those are pretty much the best options.

[Aldurin]

Theory, trollian cross-session/cross-time feature only works because the dark gods allow it. When Rose reads that answer it shakes everything she though she knew so hard that it triggers a total disconnect between her and their influence.

This is my only reasonable theory to it, given how John's viewpoint faded after he died so that would make Rose spontaneously exploding out of the question.

http://i54.tinypic.com/swful2.png


0:00 - We start with the Black King’s introduction, Aradiabots from doomed timelines teleporting in and assembling, the reckoning beginning, the Vast Glub being surppressed.

1:34 - At this point, the fearless leader leaps into action as the first to attack (Crustacean). I like to think this move shreds any sense of doubt they had in Karkat as leader at this point. Karkat’s theme’s quite fun to work with, so I enjoyed this bit.

2:03 - Terezi made sense as a logical follow to Karkat (The Lemonsnout Turnabout). It starts of quite simple yet more organised than Karkat’s section, representing Terezi’s initial appearance as a fairly harmless, blind Troll girl, before building up to her surprise attack. I’d already mucked about with Terezi’s theme in my other track, but this one I think is a bit more faithful to the original.

2:34 - The King responds.

2:56 - Tavros in his Jet Car (Desperado Rocket Chairs). There’s a hint of tragedy to Tavros’ character that I think comes through here - His melody kinda builds up but just as he’s about to act it kinda fades back down. Ah well... The world’s smallest violin is playing the intro trumpet section to Tavros’ original theme here.

3:15 - Kanaya, being quite graceful and yet incredibly deadly (Virgin Orb). She pretty much stops the music and focuses all attention on her - Something she’ll do again in the future. I really like the opening of Kanaya’s theme, so this is one of my fave bits. The chainsaw is also quite a fun touch.
3:34 - Equius decides to step in and show people how it’s done with the might and efficiency only a highb100d could bring, and indeed he probably would, but Nepeta keeps being silly and sneaking in some attacks (Horschestra & Walls Covered in Blood). It was a bit of a faff combining these two, but I liked the idea of Equius’ almost military like anthem being interrupted by Nepeta’s calypso funkiness.

3:53 - Feferi and Eridan move in (Keepers). These two have worked together before, and provide a potent force against the King.

4:36 - Sollux and Aradia decide to now get involved having kept the King psychic powers in check (The La2t Frontiier & Psych0ruins). I took more or less the openings of both themes and tried gluing them together. There’s also an additional bit influenced by Aradia’s in the 2nd half.

4:56 - Based on Karkat’s description on what Gamzee’s contribution to the fight was. I figured having Gamzee ‘parody’ the King’s theme worked better here. The music doesn’t even really imply what his attack was, only that it built up, was unleashed, and surprised the hell out of everyone...

5:14 - The King’s nearly defeated and getting desperate.

5:39 - Vriska steps up, and finishes it. With one impossi8ly lucky roll.


O come all ye scallywags, sing along with me,
(For) we are the Royal Trolls, the terrors of the sea!
We pillage and plunder, and we never compromise,
We’ll sail these raging waters ‘till we take our glorious prize!

We run from no enemy and we can feel no pain.
All of the lower bloods will quake under our reign!
We build metal death machines to do just what we crave,
To pummel all the land-lovers until they’re in the grave!

Masters of the tide,
(The) stars shall be our guide.
If you’re not a royal blood,
You’d better run and hide!

Confiscate the crown,
Swing the ship around,
Take a swig of Faygo just to wash the whiskey down.

*Instrumental Break*
Our brave and fearless leader is…
Eridan!
What a hopeless romantic…
From matesprit to kismesis, his feelings are frantic!
His poor broken heart has been shattered on the floor,
But he’ll never stop until he can have her for “shore!”

Come all ye scallywags, sing along with me,
We are the Royal Trolls, the terrors of the sea!
We pillage and plunder, ‘cause we know we’ve got the nerve,
We’ll rule these stormy waters and we’ll take what we deserve!
Masters of the tide,
(The) stars shall be our guide.
If you’re not a royal blood,
You’d better run and hide!

Confiscate the crown,
Swing the ship around,
Take a swig of Faygo just to wash the whiskey down.

Yar har, anchors away!
Soon we’ll be coming to ruin your day,
Just resign to your fate.
Soon you’ll be made into Gl’Bgolyb bait.

[katiuska]

I hope Rose will pull herself together eventually. I'm not optimistic, but I'd hate to see one of my favorite characters succumb permanently to ultragothiness.

It was nice seeing Doc interacting with someone who could provide him with worthy conversation. His main contributions to scenes are vague portents that he could easily spell out if he bothered, and the smugness with which it delivers them. He at least breaks from that periodically with Rose in favor of being kind of creepy,

Incidentally, Doc: lies of omission are totally lies when you goddamn well know how the other party will take the information they get.

Now come on don't forget about Rose's conversation with John (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004823), this isn't exactly out of the blue here. If anyone can save her it's John and his endless optimism.

[russianreversal]

This new turn of events is awesome, and also great.

Also using gifs for a heat shimmer effect is hilarious.

[Revising Ocelot]

Haven't got around to listening to the album yet, but one of those song pictures is

http://bandcamp.com/files/76/64/766448646-1.jpg

Methinks Vriska will get killed later at some point. Scratch says that for a god tier to die "The death must be either heroic or just", so an ominous foreshadowing image like that implies the latter.

[Aldurin]

Rose will be really scary if she goes God Tier, given how she is right now.

Considering the way the story has gone, John will either save her or kill her.

[Arcanum]

Considering we've seen John on LoHaC all happy-go-lucky as ever, I think there's nothing to worry about in regards to Rose's Grimdark transformation.

Unless of course at that time he's still unaware of it, in which case Rose is the Gamzee of the Kids' session.

[Solid Snake]

...Dangit, I can't figure out whether the line Bard quoted is foreshadowing John and Rose, or whether the artistic direction of Rose "glowing black" is foreshadowing a budding romance between Rose and Kanaya, whenever Kanaya can actually contact her again.

I mean clearly, Rose remaining single is not an option, as Homestuck is all about the ships.

Also, it's fun how this development actually parallels a real-life, real-world maturation story. One way for a girl like Rose to deal with the recent loss of her mother would be in to succumb to the temptation to go full-out goth.

[Kerensky287]

BL1ND JUST1C3: 1NV3ST1G4T1ON!! is probably the best song on the new album. You can totally overlay it with "OBJECTION!" and "TAKE THAT!" and it will sound totally accurate.

And She's a Sp8der is decidedly unspiderly because Pirates of the Carribean is decidedly unspiderly.

They both rescue her together and- because it's impossible to rescue someone without falling in love automatically- they're forced to share.

Unless of course at that time he's still unaware of it, in which case Rose is the Gamzee of the Kids' session.

Well, the conversation where John is all, "I'll help you", is post-Rose's transformation. You can see her glowing dark there. I wondered why she was suddenly like that, when I was reading the archives, but I figured it was a stylistic change.

[Bard The 5th LW]

It was probably just a stylistic thing. Rose ain't hopping around chatroom timelines like the trolls, and this clearly occurred after Jack killed Mom and Dad.

[rpgdemon]

No, Rose isn't hopping around timelines, but Hussie is.

[Specterbane]

Well, the conversation where John is all, "I'll help you", is post-Rose's transformation. You can see her glowing dark there. I wondered why she was suddenly like that, when I was reading the archives, but I figured it was a stylistic change.

I think I see where you're coming from here (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004812). But given that she's not glowing at all on the next page (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004813). Also since John wasn't god tier yet, his Dad couldn't be dead yet...(at least from what we've seen there's nothing to make us believe that was the case since Jack was sniffing around and the breeze was keeping John's location hidden from Jack) I think it's safe to assume the conversation was per-grimdark. As to what exactly happened to Rose, that's what I'm interested in finding out.

[Marc v4.0]

Obviously what happened is the opposite of what happened to Kanaya.

Clearly.

[Krylo]

The horror terrors hacked her brain.

[Art of Hilt]

Well, the conversation where John is all, "I'll help you", is post-Rose's transformation. You can see her glowing dark there. I wondered why she was suddenly like that, when I was reading the archives, but I figured it was a stylistic change.

No, when she was talking to John back then, John wasn't God tier, which meant Dad and Mom weren't dead (Jade was watching them have a tea party after John got God tier and started flying a car), so Rose couldn't have been Grimdark yet.

Remember when Doc Scratch was talking about how Rose's powers weren't from the wands, but from the gods' influence? And how she could possibly do magic even without the wands, because the black magic was inside her all along?

Dreamselves reflect the real self physically, like if you stab the real self, the dreamself will get stabbed too. It's not much of a stretch that it reflects more fundamental truths as well.

Her dreamself probably glowed black ever since she made the wands and that served as the arbitrary trigger for her magic powers.

[rpgdemon]

Makes sense, I suppose.

[Flarecobra]

Man, LOHAC looks like a giant, bloody eye from a distance.

[synkr0nized]

Obviously what happened is the opposite of what happened to Kanaya.

Clearly.

Trolls don't like sunlight, though, so maybe we could also claim it seems to be more analogous than in opposition.

[Arcanum]

Oh man. Rose is going to die. She's going to die so hard.

[Solid Snake]

So, who is Rose attempting to get revenge after here? Jack? Doc Scratch? The horrorterrors?

[Flarecobra]

Jack. Obviously for killing her mother.

[Viridis]

So, who is Rose attempting to get revenge after here? Jack? Doc Scratch? The horrorterrors?Given that she seems to be heading towards Skaia, I'd say Jack.

[synkr0nized]

The "horrorterrors" have been guiding her and all that enough that I'm sure she's much less than angry with them, and Scratch isn't accessible anyway.

In case the persterlogs were somehow not enough evidence.

Seriously. I read through all of the SBHJ comics earlier today because someone here was all, "THE BEST JOKES ARE THERE", and I was just thinking at the end how glad I was not to have to deal with that again. Heck, while I was reading them, I was going, "Okay, there are only 26 comics. I only have a few more to go."

The fact that he returned to speed for this crap.

[Marc v4.0]

Personal theory: Someone got their hands on the SBAHJIFIER (http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003745).

[PCD]

Okay seriously, I have been purposefully waiting over a week between my checking of the comic so that when stupid bullshit like this happens it can be gotten over with in one blow and back to the remotely interesting stuff. This man is sorely, sorely testing my patience and I am really getting quite close to giving up altogether.

Fucking troll.

[Revising Ocelot]

Yeah, it's just trolling the readers. Should be used to it by now after other SB&HJ moments, and, er, the whole of 8BT. If you can possibly throw in an anticlimax, do so!

As for foreshadowing stuff, I think Hussie said he just makes up random stuff in SB&HJ and retroactively ties Homestuck into it. Like the LIFDOFF thingy.

Act's going to end at 4/13, I guess.

[Hyndrays]

Oh wait yes I can I'm on the internet.

[Loyal]

Yeah, it's just trolling the readers. Should be used to it by now after other SB&HJ moments, and, er, the whole of 8BT. If you can possibly throw in an anticlimax, do so!Um. No, this is nothing like 8BT. Brian's teasing did not completely interrupt the narrative of the story*. Brian's teasing did not happen with the appalling frequency of what Hussie's doing, and did not happen with nearly the degree of critically terrible timing. Brian's teasing did not repeatedly come across as "Welp, I can't think of a way to go to the next scene, NONSEQUITOR TRANSITION TIME."

* The difference is that MSPA is story-driven first and foremost, with humorous elements second. 8BT is a rapidfire gag comedy with a narrative following behind it. When we cut to, say, 434, or the "Now Shut Up" page, the narrative was briefly interrupted so that the author could say something to his readers, but the flow of the jokes remained intact.

[Aldurin]

There are times like these when I wonder whether or not Hussie does his updates drunk. Or maybe he always does them drunk but was accidentally sober for a while which caused him to make SBaHJ updates.

[Revising Ocelot]

I'd dispute that the story-driven factor is first with humour second, but meh. Doesn't change the fact I'm being a moron.




YOU COMPLETE IMBECILE OCELOT THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD KEEP LURKING AND NEVER BLOODY POST BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS, ALWAYS PUT YOUR FUCKING FOOT IN THE RETARD BUCKET. NOT SARCASM.

[CelesJessa]

Yeah, it's just trolling the readers.

Or maybe Hussie just needs a time out? I mean, he's been pumping out page after page after page along with animations. That's a lot of work. (Insert counterargument of this being his job etc etc) I mean, the last time he did something like this was two months ago (unless I'm mistaken), and considering he updates several pages almost every day, it's not like it's a constant thing. I'd rather see him do stupid stuff like that instead of getting burnt out and taking a prolonged break.

[Pip Boy]

I'm pretty sure we all know by now that the author is probably Lord English.

[Solid Snake]

I'm pretty sure we all know by now that the author is probably Lord English.

Really, I just consider the nature of this interlude further evidence of the possibility that (Felt Suit?) Dave is Lord English. SBAHJ is the exact vehicle in which any version of Dave would wish to break the fourth wall and speak to us.

[Kim]

Brian's teasing did not repeatedly come across as "Welp, I can't think of a way to go to the next scene, NONSEQUITOR TRANSITION TIME."

As much as I disagree with everything else everyone's saying, this line is particularly ridiculous. Hussie's transitions are usually "You are now _____" They aren't exactly hard to do or setup.

Also, I can't imagine cut-and-paste shittastic drawings take as much effort as actual animations, so complaining that he momentarily returned to a speed of more than two per day (which is quite reasonable, honestly) to make shitty drawings is counterintuitive.

Because I think Art just committed it.

I'm pretty sure Art is at risk of violating child labor laws with how much he's putting those babies to work.

As much as I hate to spoil the fun, it doesn't seem very prophetic since that's the modus that John has been using since he found it. As for what he actually does with it next is up to whether or not he hears anything from Rose next. Somehow, I sense a change of plans.

Skaia looks a lot different than i had previously thought.
I thought the tumor was in the middle of that giant spiral type ring structure, I believe it is the Skaian battlefield?

[Hyndrays]

That's like the outer layer of the Battlefield, which we can't see because we aren't zoomed out enough.

Also John needs to be responsible and seal up that hole he made.

That's kinda like having someone drill a hole in a wall and then fill it up with nothing besides wood. Pretty hard.

[Karrrrrrrrrrrresche]

But howcome earlier around the time before johns dad and roses mom got killed, we saw god tier john walking around the spiral shaped structure, which is clearly WAY after all the prototyping shenanigans took place?

You mean the castle he was in while looking for his parents? If so I don't think you understand quite how big the battlefield is at the moment.

That's sort of like asking why my perspective of the land while standing on the street seems so different from the terrain you'd see if you were to take a picture of my house from space.

It's lovely that Liv Tyler is installed with a shrink ray for the weapons.

Of course.

Which is why Liv is getting wrecked/drained soon.

This also seems to imply John is safe from Jack. If Jack/Cal gets the wallet, they don't get it from John, which implies that they may not meet up. Still raises the question as to who's blood on his arm. My bet is Rose.

Actually last we saw Aradia had the wallet. If it made it into the medium then then the Tumor could be... Oh sweet troll jegus. If Aradia has the wallet on her now then the green sun could very well be blowing up soon.

But that was Aradia FAR in the past. Unless the timer turns off upon entry into the modus, it would've blown up already. Since I think Aradia was on Alternia for more than 10 hours after getting the wallet, the tumor probably found a destination before Cal or Aradia got the wallet.

Its either in the Kid's session, Or Jack actually dropped it in the troll session.

Please someone capthalogue the wallet. That code should be useful.

Everyone has to watch this video right now.
John and Dave play Sburb (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2N8HOWTja_s)
Watch it watch it watch it watch it watch it

[Revising Ocelot]

I can see CD blowing himself up by accident in some farflung corner, neither destroying Skaia or the Green Sun. And let's say Jack catches his bloody limb flying through space, hence bloody arm when he gets Scratch'd. But I'm just spouting stupid crap like always.

So Hussie recently posted this:

Quite a few of those old donation commands have been canonized through HS, including its main villain (sorta)

And then while looking through the donation commands I found this. (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/extras/ps000016.html)

Lord English is actually a bust of Ben Stiller!!!!!

That or he was simply referring to these colorful Nigerian robes (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/extras/ps000022.html)

[Bard The 5th LW]

I think he was actually referring to Jack Noir. Donations made MC, MC made Jack and the agents.

[A Zarkin' Frood]

The bust is not a Donation thingy anyway.
The Ben Stiller bust played a critical role in Problem Sleuth along with Owen Wilson, Snoop Dogg (both busts, duh) and a combination of all three (again a bust, I can't believe this has to be said).

[Solid Snake]

Dammit, all these holes just popped up in my John / Rose ship.

Fortunately, my Rose / Kanaya ship is still quite sailworthy.

(The best thing about your two favorite ships being directly contradictory options is that whatever happens, you can't lose.
...Unless Rose ends up with Vriska or something.
I guess then I'd lose pretty hard.)

heir of DERP

Wonder if he'll find about his Dad while doing another windy thing.

[Flarecobra]

Yeah, brand new levels of Derp right there.

Would you say he's ascended the Derpiladder?

[Loyal]

So... did his prior fetch modus just vanish or something? I mean he only had three of 'em and I dunno why he'd have put the computer in the wallet.
