Yes. We know. Andrew probably wrote that line specifically with that in mind.

Okay, y'know, it's obvious to assume that something as awesome as Homestuck would have some really awesome fanart.

...

So why did I only just start looking? I have no idea.
There's a few nice videos:
DOUBLE RAINBOW
Still alive redone pretty nicely (though still incomplete)

But there's far, far more fantastic art. The HS fanart website has already been posted, but there's also a Homestuck fan page on deviantart, with some pretty good pics.
Check the 'featured' gallery, it's worth it. If only for this.

Plus, the forums have a few art threads. Most of the good stuff that gets posted there is also elsewhere, but there's 2 image manipulation threads.
They are full of memes and quite a few tasteless jokes and but they are horrible magnificent terrible GLORIOUS ABOMINABLE sexy.
And don't let this dissuade you, but I actually got the location of those from a post evilearl made. I can only assume that something terrible will happen as a result of us viewing those threads, because otherwise he would have actually done something constructive.
And we all know that's impossible.

So yeah, check that out. It's pretty cool. All of it.

It's a video of Wierd Al Yankovich's song, with the Homestuck Trolls.

When Ivan's involved, it always gets worse.

Okay, I think I figured it out.
The whole Gates thing, I think I got it worked out.
Speculation ahead:

First have this rambling cascade of words.First Gate: Down to your planet.
Planet Gate: Go to your Server's Second Gate.
Then, since you have access to your Server's First Gate, you go through that.
Then you go through your Server's Planet's Gate, to their server's second gate, then first gate, then planet, etc etc. I think you're expected to go around in circles until you get enough grist to build up to your Third Gate.
Then the Third Gate will lead you to your Planet again, but a different part of it...? With access to your Server's Fourth Gate?

So then it'd work like this:
Odd Number Gates: Down to your planet.
Planet Gates: Your Server's Even Number Gates.
Even Number Gates: Your Client's Planet Gates.
???
This would make sense since the Seventh, final, odd-numbered gate would lead you to your planet's Denizen.
So then I guess the players are expected to act in this way:

Beginning, they gain enough grist to build up to First Gate, and then they go through it.
Then when they're on their planet, they should gain enough grist to build up to the Second Gate, in anticipation of their Client's arrival.
Once all players do this, they go around in circles, solving puzzles and gaining grist to build up to their Third Gate.

Then the cycle repeats itself, with them going around in circles every two gates so they could build up to the third.

1 -> 2
Pause, circle around, build up to 3.
3 -> 4
Pause, circle around, build up to 5.
5 -> 6
Pause, circle around, build up to 7.
Boss battle.

I think this fits actually. It has synchronization, it can fit into any number of planets, and it would lead the player to their own denizen rather than someone else's.


Then this image where I repeat some concepts but basically attempt to clarify what I mean.


The red and blue lines repeat themselves in between the green ones, of course. They're basically loops; every two gates are their own circles, made to ensure grinding.

What do you think?

Green Sun? But how is Rose going to fight Ligier?
