And yet, he seems to act just like the rest of the paradox cloned guardians. He fits in the same as if there's no difference. There's likely something special about him that will be revealed later.

That said, I just realized. Daves "brother" is actually his father.

Also, Doctor Who has taught me to look for the tiny little details. When I first saw Jade, I noticed she had buck teeth similar to John. The thought crossed my mind, so briefly that I completely forgot about it. But I had the passing thought that maybe they were related. If I'd paid attention to the teeth on nanna sprite and Jades Grandpa I'd have probably figured it out.

Also I'm probably going to buy some of this music.

Remember all the small details. All of them. Andrew Hussie gives Moffat a run for his money.

Hussie's writing is great. Only after a huge secret or part of the plot is revealed do you see all the details that made is so obvious. It's incredible.

Yeah, I'm really loving his writing. This is basically great. I'm getting my friend who is huge into DW into it. He agrees this guy should take up the call when Moffat eventually steps down.

You know you're a Homestuck when you have "How Do I Live" stuck in your head.

How'd you like Descend and the fake eoa 4 flash?

Descend was pretty god damn badass. And the music was fantastic. Considering buying volume 5 of the music just for Descend.

And was the fake one the slow loading gif? Because I sat there for like 5 minutes, saw the text, and proudraged.

So this morning I got up to Past Karkat: Wake Up. Been playing a lot of LoL today so I haven't done much with that. Gonna take some time to sit down and burn through the flash and some more of the comic. I'm kind of tired already, so probably gonna do that in the morning.

It's actually pretty well done, and there is a lot of material and easter eggs in the flash as well.

Also. I just found this. So awesome. Sburban Jungle - Percussion Ensemble:

Act 6 has started so now it should be updating somewhat regularly again. I'm excited.

Also, I edited my first post to make the thread seem less derpy to start out with.

So, got completely caught up last night.

God damn, Cascade was fantastic. The writing in the big Doc Scratch stuff before that really started to drag a bit though. I probably missed a few details that I'll have to go back over.

Excellent! Cascade blows my mind every time I watch it.

I was never a big fan of that trailer. It's pretty well made, but I like a simple montage better. I don't think Homestuck is fit for the same kind of cheesy trailer that epic movies get. I dunno.

Thoughts on the new characters? I really excited to learn more about the guardians, and Hussie said he's been waiting for two years to get this part of story started.

That trailer would be so much better if the narration were just better written.

I'm pretty intrigued to see the Guardians more. Though as interested as I am in that, I really want to see what happened with the kids and the trolls. It was left at a maaajor cliff hanger. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see them again for another 6 months to a year, he's probably going to focus on the guardians.

Also, am I the only one that thought the whole thing with Gamzee was pretty anti-climactic?

That's part of what made the shoosh paps so funny, but I seriously doubt we're done with addressing the whole sober Gamzee fiasco. I'm sure they'll talk about it more once the trolls are safe in the scratched session.

And here's another can of worms I want to open. How do you feel about Vriska? I'm in the Vriska-lover camp. Although I don't Vriska to come back, (she's probably going to stay with doomed John), I wish she could come back to properly get redemption. And it kills me that doomed John doesn't know her at all.

I don't know. I really wanted a badass showdown. And then shoohpaps.

And I was really starting to like Vriska. She was a very complex character. When she started with the whole "I need to prove I"m the best. So I created Jack Noir," thing. I really thought she was just going to be the crazy bitch villian. But he kept adding a lot more depth. I liked her in the end. Or rather, what she was growing in to. I was sad to see her go. I was also interested in seeing that she likely DID have the power to stop Jack. It would just cause the death of everyone else if she did.

I still love all the phrases from SBaHJ. Like turn it flipwise, jegus, dumpass, sports pile. Fucking, I love that shit.

Also, I loved when Dave talked to Davesprite. Those few occasions were kinda the best thing ever.

Dave/Tavros and the very first Dave/Terezi, the one that took place in the past when he had pointy glasses. Those were fantastic as well.

Basically, Dave is the shit.

Definitely. And it seems that Homestucks on Omegle is actually way more common than you'd think.

So on the new Robot Chicken, they had Sara Lee fight Betty Crocker. The moment they said Betty Crocker, I actually shouted "BATTER WITCH" loudly at the TV.

That's what Homestuck does to you.

Do you think it's bad that we're the only ones posting in this thread?

Do you mean yes as in you wish more people would read it? I'm not sure how to make it look more appealing to people here. Maybe the DT and Homestuck fandom just don't mix well. (Actually it probably has to do something with the average age here)

Well let's see, my Facebook "About Me" is:

Awesome. I feel the need to do that sometime to my profile.

Do you guys have favorite songs? Some of mine include: all of Cascade of course, Descend, Alternia, and  Skaia (Incipisphere Mix).

Descend is probably my favorite. The music on volume 5 is the best, in my opinion.
