Silentman0 posted:Does anyone else imagine Renard's voice being different between when he's big and when he's a toy? He's all dignified and poo poo when he's big but he sounds like a toned-down Gilbert Gottfried when he's tiny. Haha I was just about to post this. It's kinda of a nice touch. The character himself is much more crass in tiny form as well. Or maybe that's just how I perceive it. I guess that means a tiny coyote would be the crassest of them all.

It's really uncanny how much fun Wildberry Poptart and Tennis Jerk manage to cram into two pages. The best part is how Wildberry's expression is completely over the top in every single panel, juxtaposed with Tennis Jerk's completely flat affect. (These nicknames really ought to stick)

Androc posted:His voice is definitely different in my head. More to the point, I feel like his diction changes between the forms: he always seems to have a much more mature tone in big-form. Might have something to do with tiny Reynard having a much wider range of expressions. (By design) Also this is his voice, he sounds like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk1mAd77Hr4

I think there a line some chapters back about the mind being a 'plaything of the body'? Kat was freaking out because Reynard was sounding all mature and concerned or something. edit: oh hey there it is. I figure stuffed animals are all secretly jerks, and Reynard is reflecting that.

This isn't really related, but I just realized that we know why Kat's mom is crying on the next page now.  I really love all the little bits of foreshadowing like that. It's easy to forget they ever happened when you're following the comic as it updates, but when you eventually go back and reread them there's a really great moment when everything clicks and you finally figure out what was going on.

Because if Annie wasn't able to leave her mother's side until her mom finally died. Ergo, if she's transferring in, that's kind of an automatic death notice. Also I kind of hear Renard as Michael Dorn for some reason.

Presumably, the paper only says that Annie is transferring in, not that Surma is dead. Kat's mom knew having a child meant Surma was dead (or at least dying), but we didn't, so at the time it wasn't clear why Annie transferring in made her cry.

So thanks to Zorak's wild abuse of mod powers in the Homestuck thread I finally read through this comic and drat is it good! I'm really enjoying the characters and setting and pretty much everything that isn't the fact that I am now out of archives to read and have to read it like a normal person now.

Also, Smitty is a time travelling Jones (we have no proof otherwise). EDIT: I see where you're coming from, but I think if anything it's more the other way around, in that because of his powers, he'll only say BAM just before she arrives. It's not that he's somehow forcing her to arrive, it's that if she wasn't going to arrive he wouldn't say it in the first place and oh my god why am I bothering to argue about this Gravitas Shortfall fucked around with this message at 14:09 on Nov 4, 2011 |

He can only pick up on the moment she decides to teleport. It's like having a song in your head and turning on the radio only to find your song playing. You didn't make it happen, but it sure as hell feels like you sensed it or something. Premonition and coincidence are too closely related. So while he can't control it, he's certainly playing it up because it's obviously the coolest thing ever. Who wouldn't want to be able to say "Bam" and have a cute girl appear? That's what it looks like, doesn't it? Parley loves it when he does it, because it shows he's been thinking about her.

So just as a discussion-starter, since it's a Friday: Where did you first discover GC? I found out about it in the Ctrl-Alt-Delete thread, of all places. They were talking about how the art in other webcomics was much better and somebody posted this page. It was the first webcomic I ever really got into.

One of my friends (Guava on SA) was reading it and I thought the art looked cool so I asked what it was. One day later I had read through the archives, just in time for Annie to run away to the forest and for me to be mad that I had to wait a whole two days to see another page. I now exist in that state all the time.

My sister and youngest brother have been nagging me to read it for years. I read through the whole thing in two days, starting half way through the last arc (I think the live page at the time was the mandolin story). Also, hope no one is watching QI right now :P

Ironic Twist posted:So just as a discussion-starter, since it's a Friday: Where did you first discover GC? loving hell. Even on the second panel of the page right after, the humans in the squabble include an archer like Steadman, a runty one with round eyes that could be Diego, what looks like the "games teacher armor" probably being worn by Sir Young, and maybe even the hat and double sash guy (the artilleryman?). It's not like it's surprising that Tom knows exactly where he's going, but it's impressive just how thoroughly he's been embedding this stuff. If this was already discussed somewhere, cut me some slack. Like you guys have never re-read through the archives and suddenly recognized something that was a background detail before.
