Oh man the chat logs DX I wish I knew a way around it, but you just never know whether they'll be important later or not.

I know the feeling- I tend to read them depending on how long they are, but I know that the longer chat logs usually include interesting information that you need to keep track off <_< The chat logs I hate reading the most are the trolls, but that's because most of their troll speak pisses me off and I don't feel like interpreting them. Terezi's, Feferi's, Sollux's and Vriska's troll speak piss me off the most @_@ Though it's safe to assume that's the purpose.

Man, if you thought Sollux's was bad, wait until you meet his ancestor. It is NIGH UNREADABLE. Not to mention he misspells things as he goes. IT HURT.

Well t)(at's somet)(ing to look forward to reading. ---Even so, I t)(ink I'll have a better time wit)( )(im t)(an wit)( Feferi's. Glub glub glub. 38)
I swear, if you are capable of imitating the troll's typing style without needing to look up a reference- you've spent too much time reading Homestuck. I had to look up her typing style to figure out what she does -___- Give another point to Hussie, or whoever types up his stuff, troll speak ain't easy.

He must have a guide or a program that will do it for him or something. It's incredibly consistent! I feel like I'd forget to do it sometimes. Though I think what's more impressive is Feferi's fish puns. Especially Meelah's! She has a knack of reeling them in and spitting it back out for just about anyfin! 8ut Vriska's is pro8a8ly the easiest, since it tends to 8e used at a lesser ext8nt. :: OR JUST KARKAT WHO SHOUTS ALL THE TIME. I guess I take to Feferi's more natunally since s)(e's a pisces like myshellf. H--EH---EH------E!

Damn it, I just went through so many pages of the Homestuck wiki and I now have more questions than I started And now thanks to Tumblr I ship Meulin/Kurloz and I haven't even played the flash yet.:33 maybe it's because im a leo that nepeta's doesnt bother me at all.Of course her's is really simple, just add a lot of cat puns. Puurfect!

For starters- the whole "Dream-self" thing has plagued my mind since it was introduced with Jade. So apparently when your body becomes inactive (whether by sleep or death), your consciousness goes to a dream world? Meaning that even if you die, you're technically still around.
And then the whole dencestors (is that the term) and ancestor thing. So the trolls that we have in the flash game are the post-scratch versions of the ancestors of the current trolls?
Finally, the Alpha-Kids, Beta-Kids, and guardian stuff. So all the guardians are basically post or pre-scratch versions of the kids, and the roles always switch depending on what the universe chooses? Roxy's mom and Dirk's bro are actually post-scratch versions of Rose and Dave, but they are not alive in Jake and Jane's universe, and vice-versa with Jake's and Jane's guardians (who are John and Jade.)
God- sorting through and understanding everything is going to take so many hours out of my life. But I really want to figure it out DDx
Oh boy, what did Gamzee do now?

So apparently when your body becomes inactive (whether by sleep or death), your consciousness goes to a dream world? Meaning that even if you die, you're technically still around. Pretty much. The Dream World is only accessible to people who are destined to play the game, which is why it's tied to Skaia. You have a life on Prospit/Derse and you have a life on your personal planet (Land of Blah and Blah). One or the other can die, and both are allowed to reach godtier, I think. And I think they can each be revived once, when someone else kisses them (this leads to some interesting lols). The dancestors were first (Meenah and crew) until Meenah activated the scratch. They lived on planet Beforus (clever right?). Now the post-scratch, aka the "fixed" one is the one with Karkat and crew, where Meenah became her Imperious Condescension generations before. I guess in the pre-scratch, the Karkat gang weren't all that historically special because they haven't been talked about (that would be waaaay too much imo). It's weird because all eight of them exist in both pre- and post-scratch universe at once, but only four get to play. The four that don't just end up being the guardians. Like I said above, Karkat's gang should be around somewhere too but seriously they probably aren't important. He's mind-controlling Meulin and Kurloz to do his dirty work, and possibly Mituna too, and he seems to be working for Caliborn D: As if killing half his own team wasn't enough ...I need to go outside more

Oh God, those drawings are beautiful! I love the Homestuck fanart, they're really creative and wonderful to look at. I'm getting the strong urge to draw some Meulin/Kurloz, but I'm saving the urge for when I actually get to that part.
I'll just draw some Terezi/Karkat and Sollux/Feferi instead.

Hussie was right to call his plot points "Time Traveling Paradox Shit" or something along those lines. There's no way you can explain it without confusing everyone- you just have to go with it. Which is why Homestuck would make a better video game than a web comic, in my opinion <_< At least in a video game you can chock it all up to "Video Game Logic", like the reason why Bowser is always kidnapping Peach and why he has 8 kids.

Yeah, it's not terribly important to know all the ins and outs of the time travel shit but it makes the reading easier. As soon as all of the groups come together (whenever that is) it won't be important anymore.
also draw some blackrom Terezi/Vriska for me

That would be the first Girl/Girl drawing ever xDD Give me $3 and I'll do it
Isn't that what they're trying to do now? A whole get together with the group, the first since Homestuck started.

Yeah, they're all trying to get to the Alpha kids' universe since all of the other ones have been compromised. They still have another "year" to go so I really hope that gets cut as short as the first two years were.
you're on dude. also never got around to paying for Shard if you were willing to do that one too
