>It's day four of no updates. My f5 key is all but completely grown over with moss from disuse, and the troops are starting to go mad. At first it began with the jokes of the meathand, every troll finding a place in our heart... and our meaty palm, but once it hit meta stages with meathand and meathand, we could survive on it alone no longer.

>Now we are at roleplaying, submersing ourselves into the world that Hussie has created for us, our eyes drooping from insanity. We had to eat the last tripfag who called out update in order to survive. I'm not sure how much longer we can survive before we go into full madness, we just dont' know what to do without our constant stream of updates, waiting and waiting for the new flash. But I wonder- will our hearts be ready? Is Hussie just doing this to prepare us, give us moments to gather the strength to love this flash like no other?

>Or is he doing it to spiral us into complete and total madness, so when he comes back we will latch onto his teat, suckling from him as he holds us calmly in his arms, and lays a kiss on our foreheads with those beautiful lips of his...

Last thread took from the best of all the threads before it, though. I still agree with you.

What's everyone's favorite album? I like Vol. 4 if only for Carefree Victory, Ballad of Awakening, and Black. The flash for it made me hate Doctor. Hearing anything on an endless loop for too long makes me hate it. I'm sorry.

I agree with this statement. I could listen to it for days nonstop. And there's never enough Doctor remixes. Never.

Also, someone on youtube mentioned that Cave Story's Moonsong resembles Doctor, and I can totally see that. So I'm stuck with the idea of mixing the two, even though I never messed with audio editors in my entire life. And since I'm also thinking about starting a CYOA/MSPA/Quest thing given that I'm really enthusiastic about this type of game-storytelling stuff, learning to make some simple tunes could come in handy.

Does anyone have any tips? Should I just get a program like FL Studio and see what I can do?

Okay, spoilering my thoughts on this, just in case.
Although the nature of Terezi's blinding was a little anticlimactic to me, it was presented in a way that was so awesome to look at that I don't really care. Using a psychic chain to do it was pretty interesting though.

FUCK YEAH, troll combat! Seeing everyone kicking ass was cool. Looks like Eridan's a bit jealous, regardless of whether Sollux has feelings for Fef.

I can't say I blame Aradiabot at all for knocking the snot out of Vriska. Although I still pity Vriska, it was rather amazing watching her getting the tar beaten out of her. Plus I no longer feel the need to smack her upside the head, since Aradia did that and then some. Still, I hope she wasn't outright killed. It looked like Aradia might have held off on a death blow for Tavros' sake, but she was still rather banged-up. At any rate, she's awake now, so she's not truly gone.

You crazy. That's gorgeous!

So the speculation on Vriska's current state of health has me thinking... if she's lost a life, but still has her dream self, that would suggest she's got her arm and Vision Eightfold back since her dreamself is in one piece. Be kinda funny if in her desire for revenge, Aradia inadvertently did Vriska a favor. Something to be gr8ful about even!

also nice to see the animations have more...animated-y parts to them. I mean to say is that while they're always super cool, a handful (especially the past ones) were more like dynamic comic book panels rather than actual things moving and whatnot.

Personally I like to think there was a little bit of 'YOU'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR MY CRUSH SO DIE' in Eridan's motivations.

It also occurs to me that Feferi is leaving a friendship/relationship with one emotionally unstable guy that theatrically flies off the handle, for another.

Also people on the forums are starting to consider Sollux/Eridan for Kismesis.

No.90848
At first it occurred to me that the way which Vriska blinded Terzei was pretty boring, and exactly what she did to Tavros, with the only difference being exactly what they were forced into. Then it came to me that this is exactly what should have been expected. Isn't this exactly what Karkat when he noted that she was a one trick pony?

No.90849
Evidence of the degree to which shipping has corroded my brain: when Aradia started wailing on Vriska, I was wondering what her motivation was. "Is she jealous because she thinks there's something between Vriska and Equius, so she's trying to- oh wait, SHE KILLED HER."

>I. Really like that idea. That they've got permanent marks on their bodies to remind them of their castes (or whatever the symbols mean to them), I mean, not just because I really really really like that sort of thing, but because it'd fit with their culture. Burn scars would be better than tattoos because their blood colour would show through and there's no expense for ink. I don't know where the best place to put one of those would be if they get it as kids because as they grow the skin would stretch and the mark would be distorted, but yeah.

>Regarding their purpose, seeing as Kanaya re-imagines Rose's initialed signature as a shirt emblem, they seem to be apparently representative of the individual Alternian. Some sort of glyph or ideogram or calligraphic abstraction that's representative of the individual or their name.

>Maybe they are connected to the surnames? Considering their social structure they aren't family names. Maybe it's geographical region or something. All the other kids living in Karkat's little suburb place all have the last name Vantas too, maybe, and all have the Cancer symbol marking them.

I'm also having mixed feelings about the art. It's beautiful, and I actually kind of like the multiplicity of the styles - it gives it that MSPA flair of being collaborative and participatory. But certain bits were just really distracting (for me, this in particular >>90896).

Also, while it was all really amazing stuff... in terms of story, I feel like only that last bit merited an [S]. Also, I would not have expected to see Terezi's blindness backstory shown at this moment had we not been told that it would be a main part of the flash. I see how it flows into the Aradia v. Vriska showdown, but there wasn't much of a segue going into it from the regular pages aside from the fact that the story shifted to Terezi.

That and with Tavros looking all shocked their positions are basically reversed from when Vriska killed her.

Gotta suck to be Tavros, there's all these people around him with whom he has really weird mixed up feelings of friendship with who all want to hurt each other and he can't step in on anybody's behalf without making enemies. Even if he wasn't utterly unable to stand up to others he'd still likely be paralyzed by the situation.

A lot of Terezi's dialogue with Karkat was about the incident that blinded her. I think that it led in rather nicely to the flash.

I loved most of the art that went into there. The shots of Terezi walking in the forest/Prospit, Lexxy's animations, the dragonlusus painting. The only jarring ones are the one you linked and the detailed shot of her face because of style shift; I'd rather keep the characters simple. People are more likely to forgive painted landscapes (or at least I am, and I hope most other people are, because my only contribution was a painted landscape, haha).

Yeah, I know, but the way the conversation constructed seemed more like it was leaving that thread open to be revisited much later -- like when Sollux and Aradia had a very chilly convo, and we didn't get into their previous relationship or see how Sollux had killed her until about a month later.

- Eridan's Land
- Eridan and Gamzee's titles
- Resolutions to Kanaya/Vriska/Tavros and Sollux/Eridan/Feferi
- Kanaya's Land's real name, and why it is like that
- More character development for Feferi, Sollux, Kanaya and Gamzee, because they've sort of been left out
- What's up with Aradia
- How/why Diamonds Droog, Clubs Deuce and Hearts Boxcars were exiled

Furthermore, assuming Hussey did his homework (Rule #1: Hussey ALWAYS does his homework), the sun wouldn't be too much stronger on the solar scale or otherwise there wouldn't be any vegetation on Alternia.

Is this really how the troll arc is going to end? Don't get me wrong, it was awesome, but it didn't really seem to fulfil any kind of higher purpose. Like clarifying or introducing a new story element or development. It seems like the transition from the trolls back to the kids would happen with the trolls discovering the kids as the responsible party. The last line of Andrew's newspost leads me to believe we will in fact be transferring back though.

No doubt we'll see more of the trolls. They're part of the cast now. But perhaps it would be nice to get a bit more resolution of some of the finer points while the focus is still on them.

The only question about it I have is did Aradia's beatdown cause Vriska to wake up on Prospit by outright killing her, or because Vriska realized she had finally received her punishment for what she had done to her friends? Or both?!

What do you suppose he means by: "At that point I will begin lowering us responsibly from the present lofty altitude of this story arc, and we may proceed with business as (and please note the disdainful use of quotes and capitalization) "USUAL"."

I guess it could just mean slowly winding down.

Also this flash has made me more curious than ever about Aradia's character. And I wonder if Eridan's fight with Sollux, considering the theme of the flash being "Make her pay", was just anger at Sollux for "taking" Feferi away from him, or if it was an attempt to hurt Feferi for breaking his heart.

It's entirely possible for players' dream selves to wake up before the game starts and gain insight into the future from their dreams, but so far we've only seen it happen with prospit dreamers, but often they don't know the exact nature of the dreams (the fact that it's tied to Skaia, Sburb, etc). If Aradia was already awake on Derse and receiving correspondence from the weirdo gods it's entirely possible she mistook them for the cries of the dead, and in a way, pertaining to their lovecraftian nature, the gods are probably dead themselves. If being killed caused her to "switch" to her dreamself, then it only makes sense that she would be hearing voices more frequently, and that her dream self apparently no longer exists could relate to how she managed to project and manifest herself as a ghost on Alternia.

Droog is asking Aradia to make Vriska pay because if you'll recall Terezi and Vriska are going to be directed by Snowman to exile the Midnight Crew. So Droog remembers how Vriska helped get him exiled and is getting some revenge of his own - although he may know about Aradia's deal too somehow.

No.91139
THIS UPDATE. DAT DROOG.

What I've got so far: Injuries to your real self don't apply to your dream self. Tavros can walk, Vriska has all her eyes and her arm, and Terezi even said that her dream self isn't really blind (she's a strange and confusing girl, that one). If your real self dies, though, your dream self dies, too. That's it. You are dead. We know this because when we were shown that chart with all the trolls and their dreamselves, Aradia was the only one who didn't have one, because she was the only troll whose main body had died. Which makes sense, because if there is no dreamer, how can there be a dream? Sorta Alice in Wonderland there, with the king who the Tweedles imply is imagining all of them.

If your dream self dies... Your dream self dies. We haven't seen if your real self is affected, other than you can't get to Prospit or Derse (unless one of the gates leads there, but we haven't been shown that yet).

Exceptions to this are Sollux, who had two dream selves and could thus use one to dream of the other, and... Yeah he's the only exception I can think of.

Just throwing this out there.

Where did the cigar go?

No.91141
Weirdly enough, this update disappointed me a bit. I mean, Droog is cool and all, but knowing that Aradia was manipulated or prodded into doing this makes me D:

I wanted her to have crazy shithive maggots RAGE, which she did, but she didn't have as much agency if it's because an Exile told her to, and Aradia pretty much always does what voices in her head tell her to do.

Even if in this case it was probably something she apparently wanted to do too.

No.91142
>>91141

That's actually the reason I like that Droog was involved. Aradia's violent reaction, while somewhat warranted considering what Vriska did to her, looks uncharacteristic - she doesn't want to be a killer or hungry for revenge, and that's why she snapped out of it and stopped. Having Droog having pushed her into doing it means Aradia may have cause to push back against the voices in the future and try to have agency of her own.

Aradia's arc has appeared to be one about fighting fatalism and resignation (as well as the loss of emotions, surging emotions thing). Coming to disagree with the voices in her head and having her own emotions again could be a big part of that.

No.91143
The best part about the Droog update is that he seems to consider Vriska's beatdown as little more than his morning's entertainment.

I concur. I was excited to see Aradia showing emotion and breaking away from that hollow shell she had been as a ghost, so the idea that it was once again an influence from an outside force knocks the wind from those sails. Certainly she had her own reasons, but now there's question of whether she would have bothered without Droog's instruction.

>>91142
Thing is, I'm not convinced she wanted to stop. Even if she was being pressured into it by an outside agency, she had plenty of personal cause to beat the tar out of Vriska. She only stopped when Tavros showed up and was visibly dismayed to see what was happening. This could mean she only stopped for his sake, even if she would have liked to finish the job. Though I guess it's too early to tell much of anything right now, since all we seem to know about roboAradia is that she has a lot of rage.

What are you guys doing. The fact that Aradia uses predestination and outside commands to do whatever she wants has been a part of her character from the beginning. The command was "make her pay," not "beat the shit out of her (until she dies?)." There were many ways to "make her pay," but she picked the one she wanted the most because hey, she has to do it anyway right? It's like when she needed the frog head but she decided to knock the whole thing over afterwards. If it has to be done might as well have fun with it (for a certain value of fun).

No.91156
>>91144
But we have evidence to the contrary. Aradia died in real life, and yet she has no dream self. And all of the trolls are going to die once (except for Sollux who dies twice), so her dream self can't have died at another time.

But she really doesn't do what she wants, it's more that she just goes along with the voices because she's 0kay with it for one reason or another. When she was alive, she listened to the voices' urgings to make Vriska pay because she wanted to anyway. Which got herself killed.

Then when she was a ghost, she was basically just a HUGE TOOL, BLUH BLUH, dutifully unearthing the artifacts that would be used to make SGRUB. Which would then facilitate the end of the world. As for knocking over the rest of the monument, that was more an attempt to feel something, rather than actually doing it for fun.

Then in the latest bit, once again heeding the call to make Vriska pay, well of course she was going to do something violent. "Make her pay" doesn't seem like a call to bake Vriska cookies with laxatives and then laugh at the results, and since she's full of emotions again (well, mostly anger) the outcome was predictable.

She's not bending destiny or twisting the commands she receives to do as she wishes, she's doing what she's told, and it inevitably seems to result in something bad for herself or others. Which is why this latest update was a little disappointing, because I was hoping she was doing something of her own accord.

i can't stop believing that that explain so much the diferent classes system in Alteria. I mean, the lower you are in the class system the more psychic power you have, but at the same time you have the less chances of doing something by yourself with all those voices you are hearing, being manipulated very easily (Like Aradia and maybe Tavros) and, if you are in the high class you are inmune to being manipulated and, while you don't have psychic powers you are strongest physically (Feferi).

I'm not sure what you're getting at. A lot of what you're saying seems to be based on speculation or false conclusions.

You're saying Feferi is the strongest, but so far it seems that Equius is the physically strongest of the trolls, and he's not as high in the blood caste as her. Also, Sollux probably possesses the greatest psionic abilities of the trolls, and he's not at the bottom of the blood hierarchy. Plus, Vriska has strong psychic abilities and she's a blue blood. As far as being manipulated, Aradia's only being controlled by the voices she hears, and Vriska couldn't control her. However, Tavros was very easy for Vriska to control. As for Aradia having such strong mental powers, those didn't seem to develop until after her death. Before then, she could only control spirits.

No.91180
Personally, I really don't see the 'low caste=psychic powers' thing. Never have.

Vriska's psychic double reacharound was <i>impressive</i>, and she's a middle-road blueblood in colour. Equius isn't psychic, but his strength is explicitly freakish.

There are no psychics anywhere on the green spectrum, but Terezi has a special snowflake psychic dragon lusus, and Kanaya has better daytime tolerance from being a one-of-a-kind Jade Green Blood.

Aradia, Tavros, and Sollux at the bottom of the Zodiac do present a tempting counter-example, but Karkat isn't the most ultra-psychic troll around.

Also, if gutterblood trolls were more often psychic, then it would make sense for them to have rising to political superiority and established themselves as Large And In Charge back when troll politics got set up. Unless someone fomented a peasant rebellion, upturned the natural order of society, and started spreading X-Men style mutant prejudice or something.

I think the point he is trying to make is, the quality is suboptimal because of the way Homestuck is done. It's basically one very long improv performance. He has a general idea sometimes about where it's going but most of it is done spur in the moment; the update schedule is blindingly fast; he can't go back and rewrite/redraw parts of the story a very vocal minority doesn't like. Yeah if it was well-planned out in advance, if he took a lot of time and effort to draw and script every page and make sure they were fucking amazing, the quality would be through the roof. But it wouldn't be the same experience (and that experience is what has made Homestuck as popular as it is). Some things are necessary sacrifices.

Andrew knows the downsides to how Homestuck is laid out and he does change it and experiment and improve. It isn't as if he's an egomaniac who thinks his comic is perfect.

Resistance isn't related to blood colour. Vulnerability to Vriska's mind control is determined by personality or mood. She couldn't touch Aradia or Terezi; she could get to Sollux about half the time (which I guess she means she's tried to do it before); Tavros and Karkat were easy picking.

The Vast Glub took out people with powers first, which were more likely to be lower bloods. Sollux and Tav would have been dead first, then Aradia, then Vriska, then everyone else.

Karkat has bright red blood but no abilities beyond being rather perceptive of others, which is just a personality trait, not magic. Kanaya only dreams because she is awake in Prospit and it has no relation to her blood whatsoever. Terezi sees things differently because she learned to, it wasn't innate (presumably anyone could have learned if they had been taught by Dragonlusus). Equius was just born freakishly strong for some reason. Nepeta, Eridan and Gamzee are completely normal, and Feferi probably is too.

- you're at least somewhat prolific

But the most important thing is that you're a chill dude and the fans seem to like your work for whatever reason. Just get out there and draw shit and push yourself and maybe the next time he decides to go for a recuiting romp--if he ever does, I mean, I don't know if he will--you might be on the radar. You might already be on the radar! Who knows? I sure as hell didn't.

Also yeah don't do this >>91291 it'd probably make you look like a tool.

That is all! Class dismissed.

Someone needs to make a badass roboAradia theme entirely from the sounds of metal resounding: music boxes, gongs, coins, tapping on elevator walls, xylophones, etc.

I'd like to say that it's nice to see her rebelling against what some voice tells her to do, but really there's so many unanswered questions about her right now, I'm not sure what all to think. Plus I'm tired, so that's probably not helping.

I think this proves that Aradia didn't just kick the ever loving fuck out of Vriska for the fun of it. She's still playing the game, she's working angles and shit.

No.91375

I'm loving it. Aradia was a sweet, vivacious girl, but she was the lowest on the hemospectrum, abused by the blue bloods, and powerless to do anything about it. Her friend was maimed, she was cruelly murdered, and she spent years as an emotionless specter.

And then she became a time-travelling killbot who can fuck shit up with a mere thought. Cue the implacable power trip and her ascension to Queen Bitch of the Incipisphere.

It's fun to watch, even if everything she's been through breaks my heart a little.

But I guess that doesn't mean that she never had the capability, just that she never had a reason to get mad. Her anger is deeply personal, and the people it's directed at pretty much deserve it.

Yeah no matter how much of a regular thirteen-year-old girl (or, uh, six-solar-sweep old troll) she was before everything that's happened to her she's had so much crazy shit happen since then that's had a considerable warping impact. It's hard to tell just what sort of person she is now. She might not even know herself.
