This is probably for the best. After the newness of Tavrisprite wore off, it would have just been body horror forever, even if the two personalities somehow managed to come to an understanding. If the kernelsprite itself was actually destroyed by the *tavrisplode* and not merely reduced to the pre-prototyped state, this probably means we won't be seeing any of the other dead trolls come back as sprites. Kind of a shame, but the fakeout was worth it.

15 or not, the dude is projecting waaaaay too much anger on to Rose. Any time he mentions her it's either to call her a bitch or wish that she would die. Kinda getting weird.

Internet humiliation has and continues to teach me valuable lessons. Also, how can he hate Rose? Dislike I can understand, but it's not like she doesn't add to the story or doesn't have funny moments.

WAR FOOT posted:Hussie doesn't yank chains at every opportunity he can get? Well not specifically to piss off one single tumblr user, as this guy seems to think. Or maybe he does. Maybe when Homestuck is done he'll release his notes. They start out coherent but soon devolve into mad ramblings, punctuated only by a single check mark, signifying that this plot development will indeed piss off respected Tumblr User ManvsHomestuck.

It will be all the troll names and their relevant TVTropes links, because this is all for Mr. Man vs. Homestuck. (Also, it seems weird that a 15 year old went for 'man' vs. Homestuck.)

^ Probably the latter. I'd suggest flash audio reacts, since it's way harder to fake anger in those, but I'd feel creepy suggesting that to a kid.NO LISTEN TO ME posted:I was 15 when I discovered Homestuck, and I just rolled with it v All y'all 15-year-olds are making me feel old. ![]()

It is a good thing indeed that sprites don't have feet, because otherwise Tavris would have socks, sandals, AND skrillex hair. More like dude-that-would-make-you-elbow-your-friend-if-you-saw-him-in-the-foodcourt-sprite

Andrew Percival Hussie was not superstitious, but he did believe in omens, and he sat right back down behind his desk and made a cryptic notation on his memorandum pad to look into the whole suspicious business of the Manvshomestucks right away. He wrote his reminder to himself in a heavy and decisive hand, amplifying it sharply with a series of coded punctuation marks and underlining the whole message twice, so that it read: Manvshomestuck! ! ! (?) !

I think Hussie did this for a few reasons: -It obviously made the fanbase, or specifically a very vocal part of the fanbase, go ballistic. -Since the bodies have been destroyed, there is effectively no way for Vriska to come back, period. So people hopefully will learn to let it go. The only other avenues would be the bottled blood or Beta Vriska, neither of which strike me as likely options.

Wasn't there a rule that the only people who stay dead in any form of comics were Uncle Ben, Bucky and Jason Todd? And then they all came back to life anyway?

We've already seen that people in dream bubbles can interact with beings that aren't in dream bubbles when Fefiri contacted Jade when she was asleep, and we also saw Fefiri heal WV through a bubble where she hit God Tier. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point we have the mass dreambubble breakout everyone used to talk about.

I guess Hussie could have done this somewhat for the shock value (okay who am I kidding, he didn't have to use Tavros and Vriska), but I would really be surprised if his primary motivation wasn't to show a previously unknown game mechanic-- kernelsprites can self-destruct, and maybe even unprototype themselves, which I guess we'll find out is the case provided that the focus stays on Jane. I'm not particularly worried that Nannasprite, Jaspersprite, or uh... Jade are going to go kamikaze any time soon, but it's probably worth keeping in mind that the remaining sprite is doomed...

Kjoery posted:Isn't it possible that hussie just did it because it was hilarious? I like to think that, since some of the crazier fans work on the assumption that they are being trolled by Hussie seemingly at all times, he wanted to show them what it's like when he actually is trolling them. In other words yes it was pretty hilarious.
