So that Troll Ranking post I made like last session? Yeah I was serious on that one. And I will be updating my ranking as I keep meeting new Trolls.

But to answer your question, it would have to be Candy Corn. He might be an ass, but at least he seems to be coming around, actually helpful, and acts more like a gruff friend. Plus I can actually understand his conversations, the other trolls I have to decipher them one way or another.

( Favorite troll so far? )

( The shirt that is red link used to go to a listing of Dave’s shirt you could buy for yourself, but Homestuck merchandise has since moved from that retailer so the link doesn’t make much sense )

I figured as much. But seriously, how long did homestuck go for if there was already merch available for it?

( From the book: “Dave: Used a Punched GameBro magazine card” is the last reader command ever used in the story. I will always associate this ridiculous metal bro emerging from the platform with the cessation of all formal input from the readers…I was staring down the barrel of this smug, radical dude here, which was serving no purpose other than to utterly prevent Dave from performing alchemy, and I might have been like: okay, enough. The madness stops here.” )

( That game bro upgrade is where Hussie officially stopped taking reader commands, lol. “I will always associate this ridiculous metal bro emerging from the platform with the cessation of all formal input from the readers. I’m not exactly sure why this moment was the tipping point. The readership was already too huge to warrant ongoing command submissions before that. Maybe it was the critical mass of absurdity this particular convergence of ideas represented? I was staring down the barrel (½) )

You know what? I respect Hussie for allowing the readers to have some input into his story. And I respect Hussie for stopping the madness of reader input as well. Because if there was the straw that broke the camel’s back, it would be a statue of Rad Dude right there.

( Are you exaggerating for comedy or do you really hate the trolls that much? )

I don’t hate them exactly, but I can’t be sure if I like them just yet.

So when we first met the Trolls, it was when they were bullying Jade. Then the next time was with Dave being attacked (rather weakly, but still), and John implying that they have been dealing with this for a long ass time.

So yeah, in the beginning, I very much hated the Trolls.

But now, we get information that the trolls are trying to help out (for some reason), and now I feel like Candy Corn CG or whatever is legitimately trying to not be an asshole.

So I can respect the Trolls (or at least some of them) for trying to be decent people after fucking around for half an hour (yeah, can’t forget that in Troll Time, they were screwing around for 30 minutes before figuring out they have shit to do). But that doesn’t necessarially mean that I need to like them. I can enjoy their personalities and banter, but honestly as much as I do want to trust them, until they give me more proof I just can’t.

Yeah, I think I just used this question to clarify my feelings on the trolls.

TL;DR: I exagerate for comedy. While I don’t hate them now, I have no reason to like them.

If you are referring to when I said “fuck you” to the troll in person…I literally put my first reactions in these posts for everything and that just came out. So that was an honest-to-god natural reaction to Candy Corn there

( when homestuck was still running the forums were active and any reference would be pointed out within minutes, pretty sure they caught everything )

Well, at least you guys got a team effort in finding every single easter egg/reference. Honestly, that must have been so cool to be a part of, just helping each other catch the reference and all.

( as someone who’s read homestuck several times, I absolutely love your blog holy shit.watching someone else read it and react to it is somehow the most satisfying and amusing thing to me. I just. went through your entire blog and gotta say you have much more in depth analysis than I did when I first read it, but then again I just sped read it within a week (given, it wasn’t finished at the time) anyways lov ur blog lov u keep it up )

Anon, you are a sweet precious thing to me. Thank you for those kind word. Honestly, it really makes my day hearing you guys actually liking my weird bullshit and kneejerk reactions to this. So thank you so much!
