The planets that serve as Sburb players' home bases are unique to each player, and related to the nature of the player as well as their role in their session. It's time to break that shit down.

I'm going to do one of these for the alpha kids and the trolls as well, but this is where I'm starting.

( under the cut )

So I have quite a few notes about the chunk of narrative where John locks onto the four kids' guardians in order to create their paradox clones, so I'm going to hit them all in one post for efficiency's sake. I want to point out that I'm not implying anything with these notes--I'm just recording details that seem like they might hold some sort of ( Read more... )

In a recent update (as of 9/24/13) John mentioned that when he and Terezi did actually meet for the first time, she said something about cutting his throat and smelling him die. That's dedication.

Dave: Pester Rose.

I saw this panel mid-yawn and like, spat out my yawn if that's a thing because of John's arm. I knew I was going to see it places, but it always surprises me. Like, holy fuck.

In John's dream room the clown graffiti is downright iridescent. Did he do it in his dream room and it showed up in his real room? Like Cal?

Rose: Build as much as you can as fast as you can.

EB: ok, it still doesn't make sense though.
EB: implying that i drew them a while ago and forgot and couldn't see them and now suddenly see them.
EB: that's stupid, what would that even mean.

My thoughts exactly.

Rose: Pester JohnThis is the first instance where the audience realizes that the clown graffiti had been there all along. Even after several rereadings of Homestuck, I am still not sure what is going on here. I think the accepted theory is that John did it in his sleep under chucklevoodoo control by Gamzee or something? Jesus. I'm keeping my eye on ( Read more... )

John finds himself disturbed and on the verge of a mental breakdown when he discovers that his beloved Gushers are manufactured by none other than Betty Crocker.

THE HEINOUS BATTERWITCH HAS HER GNARLED CLAWS IN EVERYTHING.

This is going on before one troll has uttered one word on-screen. Just saying.

John finds some additional birthday presents in his Dad's room, one of which is a "control deck" for his sylladex, which he uses to combine several fetch modi. With his present, he gains an additional modus:

John: Equip array fetch modus.This modus is as simple as can be, but John needlessly complicates it by combining the three modi he possesses ( Read more... )
