( “eggy loking thign” is a reference to an earlier conversation back on page 240 )
That was such a long time ago I can’t even remember. Did people reading it as it aired remember it, or did they have to look back and double check to see what the reference was?

( Can we REALLY know that Rose’s mother Doesn’t Know? We dont know much about her )
You know what? You’re right. We don’t know much about her, or at least I don’t since I’m sure most of you guys have already read this.
So let’s lay down the facts
But this literally gives me nothing in terms of background. Is she a spy, a scientist? Was she originally hoping that Rose would be sucked in so that way she can be teleported too? Who Knows!
The only thing that I can be sure of at this moment is how I will view her given her justification for taking that boat. If she took it because she is scared for her daughter’s safety, or thinks Rose is dead, then I can sympathize.
However, if she took that boat without even bothering to check for Rose, or assume that Rose will be ok because she knows about the sky portal, then she is a horrible person and I hate Rose’s Mom

( Bear in mind that Rose has Gates above her house, just like John. The boat wasn’t her only way out. )
Now you know that, and I know that, and Rose knows that….but her mom doesn’t know that.
So either a) her mom acted under the assumption that her daughter is dead and tried to escape herself
b) her mom didn’t give a shit on whether Rose was there or not, and tried to escape
And if she does know about SBURB, then that leads to
c) she ditched Rose figuring that she would be fine on her own to escape (or dead, who knows) and still just left
Meaning right now, there is a 1/3 chance that her mom isn’t a complete dickbag

That’s fair. I’m not planning on even searching anything homestuck-like online until I finished with this series. But part of what I like about Homestuck is the music, and how it adds to the atmosphere of what the videos are. So a lot of the readers are missing out, if the books are their introduction. But Hussie’s dedication is while for him to make paperbacks, along with the web comic, along with the videos and music for such, he had a lot on his plate so he went above and beyond there.
Though I might grab those books when I am done. I really want to see what went on in that strange head of his when writing this
Because I can
The fact that Homestuck now has an official book blows my mind. Is it the regular comic but book form? How do the videos work, like is each frame printed out? And if the cover is a spoiler, is it to entice new readers, or a behind-the-scenes look for old ones?
Regardless, I’m glad I can entertain you with my commentary while you read Hussie’s commentary over the exact same scenes.
I am going to save this for later, because this helps a lot you don’t even know
Thanks. That actually means a lot to me. I don’t really like listening to my voice on videos most of the time because it sounds so different to me from when I talk normally. So reading comments like this and seeing the amount of notes that my videos gets really does encourage me to make better quality videos.
Honestly, thanks
Yeah, honestly that was a dumb move on my part. I should have definitely realized by the puppet sex that this was NOT for kids.
Honestly, you have to give Hussie credit on that. It takes skill to fix a mistake, but creativity to use it to your advantage.
you know, it actually occurs to me that I never even bothered to try and figure out the name thing for 14 and 15, so I’m glad that someone reveals the secrets to me.
Though I still think that Sawbuck is the dumbest slang ever
That is the dumbest slang I have ever heard.
That is good to know. I keep forgetting that when they see the planets and stars in the sky like that they are still on the same planet, not somewhere else or space traveling or whatever. I did see the Spades, but I guess I chalked that up to being “alternate-dimension” than “past Slick”. Will try to remember this in the future
Good Question. I don’t think that would be a problem. I highly doubt I would ever tackle Problem Sleuth, given that I’m not even a quarter of the way done with Homestuck. And if I do, it will probably be a while (years based on the rate I’m going), So yeah, if Problem Sleuth things come up and you want to explain the context to me that’s fine.
I new the names had some meaning, though my first thought was that since Doze had slow-time powers it would be like he was sleeping. And I think snowman is 8 because the number is in the shape of a snowman. And a Dis has 6 sides to it so no surprise there.
But I could not for the life of me figure out Itchy, so thank you for that one. Language is fun!
This is the stuff I would like to be called out on: My own stupidity. I guess that the last ask I had said Problem Sleuth which I remembered vaguely and I sort of connected the two together. And even though I know I saw a video on Midnight Crew, I just forgot about it in the moment. Like I said, Homestuck is the only Hussie thing I read, so I had no idea who was in what and why.
I still refuse to edit my posts because I should admit to my own mistakes, but thanks for the correction non the less.
But now I’m wondering who was the fan that paid for the start of Midnight Crew, and when did Hussie decided it would be cool to add it in permanently to Homestuck?
While this is still not exactly what I imaged him to look like, I can fucking buy that this is the weirdo who wrote Homestuck.
