100%! Just needs to sort out flash debugging :3

Also the fervour on Tumblr has reached the point where my friend posted a "leak" of the music team's work for the EOA5 music that actually just "rear end 'N Titties" mashed up with Sburban Jungle and it got a whole mess of people reblogging it like "I DON'T WANT TO SPOIL BUT HERE EVERYONE" and a lot of really angry posts about disrespecting the music team by posting their work and it was great.

A jeez I was going to link to the mashup but I forgot! In any case it's here though most of the funniest posts about it weren't as notes on the post itself. It seems that since I last looked at the notes more people have gotten the joke, which is comforting.

I've seen the smallest flashes gain cause a gain of more than 10 pages over part of a day, I'm pretty sure?? 100 over the 24 hours after the flash drops is an entire possible and horrifying prospect.

She does seem to be set up to be a lower-tier villain here, I just wonder when the heck Scratch got to her. Or perhaps it was just all the whisperings of the Handmaid influencing her over time

In other news, I made a utility for assigning appropriate artist metadata to Homestuck music. It's pretty basic, but it may be relevant to some interests around here.

This is a really great idea! I usually do it manually, though one thing I've done before is leave things with multiple artists or ambiguous levels of contributions tagged as "Homestuck" and I'm interested to see how you handled it.

So since Dog-Tier Jade is part Bec do you think she has a running inner-monologue of "GOOD ME, BEST SELF"?

It's a helluva way to fix Jadesprite's self-esteem issues.

I hope this, and internal dog/mail-lady conflict for PM, are things that get referenced because I cannot see that being anything but hilarious.

But man, first-guardian prototyped god tier dreamself the only thing that could make Jade more badass would be if the rings worked on humans.

Man I know Hussie loves his tension building and exposition but I think I am reaching critical impatience with stuff being crazy with no outright payoff. I don't know how I lasted this long in the story with feelings like this. I just miss John again I guess :(

The Olive Garden piece is truly a masterful piece of storytelling. Someone should make a kids book out of it. With gifs, somehow.

Tangentially related to the thread, I played some of Well Manicured Man's music on my radio show I guess! Just kinda hucked it into the playlist and so people in their cars got to hear some barely audible (due to radio compression and whatnot) carnival stuff. Yay! Here's a link to the playlist.

The whole thing seems to be a parody rather than an actual serious treatment of Trolls And Kids At The Prom.

I actually take back "bland" parts of this are pretty funny. :shobon:

Yeah the joy of promstuck is that it is 100% self-aware and the shipper nonsense can be waved away by how actually cute it is?? I mean unless the shipping nonsense is enough to turn you off entirely in which case enjoy your life without a soul.

I really didn't want to like it but once I accepted the "versions" of the characters presented (which still bear a lot in common with their in-story counterparts) it is just really drat cute.

Around a year or so ago after the tsunami hit Japan, Andrew offered sketches for $100, with the proceeds going directly to tsunami relief. I requested a God-Tier Gamzee sketch.

Paypal eventually caught wind of this, and I guess fundraising that way is against some policy of theirs so he was forced to refund everyone. I ended up sending the $100 I gave him to the Japanese Red Cross, and let go of any expectation that I would ever see the sketch since Andrew was no longer under any obligations to send one to me.

Then, I ended up getting this in the mail today:

I'm kind of interested in seeing how well that works - but trying to read Goonstuck really makes me wish tumblr had a general chronological display feature (rather than just per tag), or some sort of "next post" button or something. It's really bizarre that it doesn't.

If you give them all a tag, you can force a chronological view on that tag

Did anyone else go to TCAF and see the oil painting of Hussie? Ryan North commissioned it, because of course he did.
Here's my lovely cell phone pic of it:

I have no doubt that this will show up in the comic somehow.

I love how it was just nonchalantly hung in The Pilot for the Topatoco pre-party before people even got there, like it was a spectre that snuck into their lives. BTW TCAF ruled. My friend didn't have any Homestuck merch at the time of it, though, so he got Hussie to emboss his copy of "All My Friends Are Dead".


Fitting, I think. Especially with the "You're welcome".

EDIT: Another gem is this video of Hussie telling you his favourite character.
