That's pretty awesome.

Of course it can't remember chumhandles so that you'd have to remember yours and write it in everytime otherwise anyone who added you won't see you but that's pretty much the only fault as far as I can tell.

Ok Im getting this! OOO what should my handle be?

Well that was just sad.

Aww, Vriska, just...
...
At least this still opens up KanayaXVriska.
The proper pairing like it is supposed to be.

EDIT- You know what's funny. How you can recoil in horror one minute and then feel sorry for her the next. I think it's pretty fantastic that Hussie made her character like that so well.

You know how Karkat said that Vriska had "burned out" her hate? I think that's what Andrew's trying to do to us.

My chumhandle is chilledTrainer if anyone is interested.

Something that occurs to me...

On Nepeta's Shipping Wall, Hearts are Matesprits ("twoo wuv") and Diamonds are Moiralliegance (I've heard it described as one being emotionally dependent, in some way, on the other).

Nepeta is obviously dependent on Equius, and Vriska on Kanaya. Assuming the troll on the left is the supporter and the one on the right is the dependent...

Who the hell is Vriska (top-right) supporting? Same goes for Tavros for that matter.

Art of Hilt · 08-09-2010, 01:09 AM

Those seem more like probabilities, so from Nepata's perspective it doesn't seem to out of place to think Vriska is acting as a possible support to, say, CaligulasAquarium. As for Tavros, possibly Gamzee.

Keep in mind that Nepata sees Equius as being dependent on her because of his freakish tendencies, so the positioning in the panels might not mean too much. Apparently it's possible for two people to be morails with each other in both directions. It's like, from a matter of perspective in which the two are supporting each other but not actively doing it together for the beneficial growth of each other as a couple, but for one to support the other as an individual without expecting active reciprocation in kind (ie sloppy makeouts)*.

Although if you look at the Mesprit, there's one character repeating when looked sideways, so assuming that this is an actual pattern and that it holds for all the other sections then it could be either Karkat/Gamzee in the Vriska panel and Karkat/Kanaya in the Tavros one.

Also this is the best thing I've seen forever. Oh my god. So intense. Man there needs to be more Gamzee, I love that dude.

PS- chumhandle = kaleidoscopicGreyscale, and you VWV(O)n't st(O)p layering y(O)ur letters.
Also, it turns out there are some people who decided to take up chumhandles of the actual characters and trolls and roleplaying them, so you can add them and start talking to them and they'll just stay in character.

*- Of course it is a different matter when they DO expect or at least desire reciprocation (sloppy makeouts) but are incapable of receiving it due to the other party being uninterested, oblivious (as is the case I'm guessing with Vriska) or keeping up with so many moirals of their own that they expend all their energy meddling with all of them and groups them all with the same 'love/pity' emotion (as seems to be the case with CC and CA).

Can you believe I didn't actually think about the implication of troll relationships for that long? Man I should be a cryptoastrobioanthropologist or some shit

Hmm, I can't seem to get the quirks to work. If I type a letter that I have a replacement set for, it just doesn't let me post.

Edit: Ah, I figured it out. You can't convert a single character into multiples. Too bad.

Viridis · 08-09-2010, 02:09 AM

Also, converting a period to anything gets weird. I think a period is a wildcard. An asterisk for some reason just won't send.

Art of Hilt · 08-09-2010, 02:19 AM

It sounds like it's kind of regular expressions, where asterixs are used to denote zero or more. If that's the case maybe putting in square brackets or something can help.

Yeah, if you put it in square brackets when adding in your quirk then you can send in an asterix as however. Same probably goes for periods. Also basically anything that is punctuation, put it in square brackets, in case it means something in regular expressions. The brackets will turn it from 'expression' (period = wildcard) into 'literal' (period = period).

Also, if you want several individual letters to turn into the same replacement, you can put them all within some square brackets, so replacing all vowels with "H" would be [aeiou] in one and then H in the other.

Basically anything that works in regular expressions should work here.
