My opinion on the Rufio thing (which is probably supposed to be comic relief more than anything else):
Let's see what John is up to.
You have been exploring the battlefield with a new ally, a friendly fellow who strikes you as a sort of WIZARDLY VASSAL. Your travels have led you here.
You spy a WALLET lying on the ground.
Okay, I just put this in because I think the animation is cool.
An inviting PILE OF PIPES, a somewhat less inviting PILE OF RAZOR BLADES, a SPARE CAR, an assortment of SHOES, HATS, and TIES, several issues of THE SERIOUS JESTER, TICKET STUBS TO CIRQUE DU SOLEIL (you would prefer to forget what happened that day, he was just so embarrassing), a BRIEFCASE FULL OF FATHERLY DOCUMENTS, a VARIETY OF PHOTOGRAPHS, a LAPTOP COMPUTER, TEN TONS OF PIPE TOBACCO, and a LIGHTER.
A SPARE CAR?!?!?
And oh hey it's the Crosbytop.
He bought this laptop at the DADLY DEPOT, an incredibly boring store established to furnish dignified gentlemen everywhere with dull fatherly goods. It was always so boring when he dragged you there. You have no idea who this douche bag is. "Who's this douche bag?" is what you ask every time you see his smug face. Maybe you're being unfair to the man, though.
Some guy named Crosby, you guess? Who cares. He's so boring.
GG: even karkat! he has been helping me too... sort of, hehe EB: he has? but i thought he "hated" you! GG: oh yeah, he said plenty of stuff like that, but i dont think he ever actually meant it GG: flying off the handle is part is of his charm in a funny way, once you know that about him EB: yes, this is what i have concluded about him as well. EB: he is a pretty great guy. i am really looking forward to more of his outbursts, especially his first conversation with me, which i am to understand will be legendary. EB: but we shouldn't tell him we said any of this, or he will be "furious"!
Ahahahahaha.
EB: you will never guess what i am doing right now. EB: go ahead, try to guess, you will not succeed. GG: .............. GG: whoa :O GG: john where did you get that nice flying car?????? EB: oh god dammit! EB: how do you know! EB: do you have rose's crystal ball? GG: sort of! GG: she gave me the code, and i made a cool pair of goggles with it EB: argh, i am surrounded by real life witches! EB: everyone i know is turning magic, it's ridiculous. EB: including me! i'm magic now.
Magic is everywhere!!!
EB: and i have just been staring at these dumb clouds for hours or whatever. EB: i even saw my own dead body in a cloud! GG: what!!!!! GG: oh noooo EB: it's ok though, it already happened. EB: i was sort of tricked into sleeping on my quest bed. EB: and when i went to sleep, jack killed me. EB: she must have known that would happen... GG: who? EB: vriska. do you know her? GG: i dont think so! EB: she is pretty cool, but just between you and me, she might be a little crazy!
Understatements, part 23592375981341234912309481324123.
EB: i mean, you did mention your dream self isn't COMPLETELY dead, remember? GG: !!! GG: youre right... GG: i suddenly dont know if i want to become a god tier anymore EB: heheh. EB: she was that bad, huh? GG: DX GG: i dont even want to talk about her! she is sad and cowardly.
Yes, but... I'm having some trouble trying to figure out any other reason for Jadesprite to exist.
EB: im pretty sure it was the future, and he had the ring, and... GG: and what? EB: and then the cloud stopped showing me. EB: but i am pretty sure that some day... EB: he will have to wear it!
Everything sure is pointing to that, isn't it?
EB: oh wow... EB: jade, what if they get married or something??? EB: oh god, if rose became my sister too, that would wreak HAVOC on karkat's shipping diagram! EB: as leader of this team i submit that we cannot afford to let this happen!!!!!!!!!! EB: everyone man your battle stations!!! GG: RED ALERT!!!!!! EB: we have a ship to sink! arm torpedoes!!!!!! GG: AWOOOOOOOOOOOGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EB: KA-PCHOOOOOOOOOOOOO. target destroyed. EB: heheh, i am just joking around, of course.
Hehehehehe.
EB: i think we can both agree that it would be reckless to look at a crappy shipping diagram made by an alien, and ignore its message altogether. GG: i didnt even know karkat made a shipping diagram... EB: it's a thing of beauty, and it will save the human race. GG: i will have to make him show me EB: yes. EB: btw, you will marry dave. EB: 100% TRUE REALITY. GG: <_<; EB: it's ok though, i will not press you on your feelings for him. EB: i already know you are totally into the strider anyway. GG: whaaat... EB: it's all in the diagram, jade. EB: it's all in the diagram. GG: i dont know about that!
Says the girl who thinks Dave is unironically, and I quote, "sooooo cooooooool".
EB: oh no! EB: are you in some sort of trouble? EB: is it jack? EB: karkat??? EB: what's going on? CG: OH GOD THE HONKING CG: WHY WON'T THE HONKING STOP CG: I HAVE TO GO CG: SORRY FOR BEING SUCH A DOUCHE TO YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS. CG: I HOPE YOU CAN SUCCEED AS A LEADER WHERE I FAILED MISERABLY.
CT: D --> I'm not entirely positive I can raise a hand to the highb100d
CT: D --> It wouldn't be my place CG: OH MY GOD CG: WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO DIFFICULT IN ALL THE MOST FUCKED UP WAYS POSSIBLE?
This will be a mini-mini LP again. Gotta catch up :I And this one is pretty short too! Just play it.
This flash is pretty sad now. At least two minor characters got one last hurrah.
Okay, yes, I will most the images from the roleplay:
One last thing: remember the bug when this originally came out where the music when your in the air ducts would start to loop onto itself in a terrifying cacophony of honks? Oy.
Oh Eridan in his shutter shades
I wanna say Hivebent was worth it just for this section,
Aradia going god tier
Gamzee going crazy
Vriska taunting Tavros with his legs
Eridan flipping the fuck out
Equius unable to get over his perverse sadomasochistic stuff and dying hilariously
all fun times, and wouldn't have had the impact without Hivebent
but I always liked the implication that eridan and karkat were pretty good friends before he went nuts
it actually gets mentioned really briefly after eridan is introduced
feferi is frustrated that eridan won't ever talk about his romantic feelings with her when he does with karkat all the time
huh, I think I missed that
CC: You know, I'm not sure w)(y we never talk about our romantic aspirations.
CC: We s)(ould more often. It is kind of -EXCITING!
CA: shrug
CC: Probably because you fill your gossip quota wit)( your nubby )(orned bro.
CC: You leave not)(ing left to talk about wit)( your dear sweet moirail!
CC: We are supposed to )(elp eac)( ot)(er wit)( t)(at stuff too, remember.
CA: maybe
CA: seems kinda
CA: odd though
CC: Your stupid fis)(y face is w)(at's odd!
CC: )(AV-E YOU -EV-ER T)(OUG)(T ABOUT T)(AT??
I wonder how much of people's dislike for feferi has to do with her having the hardest typing quirk to parse
I actually don't really have trouble with it anymore. Then again, I've been immersing myself in Homestuck for the past three weeks so I probably just got used to it.

I'm used to it too but you can't deny that it's the hardest to read

Yeah, I mean it is... I think I had the most trouble with it at first. But maybe her "bubbly" (heheh) personality shown through? Or maybe I'm just inclined to root for the Pisces troll.
I think Vriska's takes more parsing, just because she's a lot more inconsistent as far as when things do or don't get replaced with 8s, especially when she's overexcited.
Anyway, lots o' text in this one. Will employ spoilers.
AG: Your guardians are not here! EB: oh... EB: dang it! EB: do you know where they are? AG: Yes, they are in another castle.
Hehehehehe.
AG: John. AG: Are you suuuuuuuure you're not mad at me? EB: no!!! EB: why would i be mad at you, vriska? AG: 8ecause I tricked you into getting killed!!!!!!!! EB: oh. right. EB: i... actually almost forgot about that!
John, I swear.
AG: I am just so incredi8ly relieved you are not angry with me. EB: heh. i really don't know what reason i would have to be angry! EB: i mean, aside from the deception involved, but i kinda understand why you did that. EB: and in any case, you did give me a choice. AG: Yes, I did. AG: I don't know, John. You'd 8e surprised how often people resent it when you try to help them! AG: 8ut see, you really get it. That's why you're special. EB: shruuuuuuuug! AG: <33333333 EB: so... EB: is that what you wanted to talk to me about? AG: Yes. AG: Well. AG: Not exactly.
Wait a minute, this is going to get awkward.
AG: 8ut I just killed someone.
Called it.
AG: 8ecause enough was enough! You don't even know how frustr8ing it was to 8e friends with him. AG: I used to really like him and always wanted to help him get stronger, so that he might stand a fucking chance to actually make it on our world. AG: 8ut he was just soooooooo weak and indecisive. He wouldn't change! AG: And when he tried to change, it was too little and too l8. Always l8. L8ey L8ey L88888888. AG: Too l8 to kiss me. AG: Too l8 to kill me. AG: He couldn't do it when I really needed him to. So when I saw he was actually serious a8out trying to kill me now of all times... AG: I just got SO AAAAAAAANGRY. I am still a 8it upset thinking a8out it. AG: So I killed him. AG: And I'm pretty sure he's dead for good now.
Like I said, his fate was sealed when he couldn't kill the girl.
EB: i guess i understand. i mean, i'm trying to, with the cultural difference and all. AG: Do you? EB: like, trolls are more violent and angry, right? kind of like klingons or something, which is an angry race of alien savages from a human tv show.
John, I swear. Okay the Klingon analogy is pretty easy and all but still.
AG: On my world, I would 8e completely vindic8ed for killing him! He is far lower on the hemospectrum than me. He managed to disrespect me time and time again, 8ut I kept letting him live! In fact, the amount of slack I cut him would 8e considered scandalous 8y those in my class. AG: I had every reason to kill him. And yet... AG: I feel 8ad a8out it like a lame weak fudge8lood, just like he was. AG: And the fact that I feel 8ad is why I'm sort of freaking out right now! EB: i think if you feel bad, it just means you have a conscience. which is good, right? AG: No. That's not how it works. AG: I'm supposed to 8e just fine with it. AG: This was sort of like a test, and I'm afraid I might 8e failing.
AG: Ok, that's not quite right. He's the second person I cared a8out who I killed. AG: Man, I always forget a8out her! EB: uh.
Well, I mean, she did come back as a ghost! And then as a robot! And as a god tier revival through a mechanism I am not entirely sure I understand yet!
AG: I think I had a really juvenile attitude a8out killing 8ack then. I think I was trying too hard? AG: I was always really o8sessed with 8eing the 8est at stuff, and I guess I was trying to 8e precocious in that respect as well, and prove to everyone how 8rutal I could be. AG: 8ut I was such a confused kid! I didn't know anything a8out what killing really means. I was trying to fake it, and it caused me nothing 8ut pro8lems. EB: i guess i had no idea how different we really were. EB: what i am hearing is seriously scaring the shit out of me!
It's hard, being a kid and growing up.
Vriska almost gets it, but then veers off and misses the point at the last second:
AG: I think the game knows it's always gonna 8e played 8y kids, and it always rigs it so they enter right around the cusp of sexual maturity, whatever the race is. AG: Which kinda makes sense, since if they succeed, they've got their whole lives ahead of them to do whatever the hell they're going to do in their universe, like start repopul8ing and whatnot. AG: That means the game also knows it's got to deal with all these damn kids who are coming of age while playing it! AG: I really think how successfully they mature is tied to success in the game. It challenges the players in all the ways they need to 8e challenged to grow, which is different for every individual, and veeeeeeeery different for every race. AG: I don't think we were so hot at that aspect of the game. In fact, I'm sure we were quite awful. Hell, even I wasn't that gr8 at it! I actually just kinda fell ass 8ackwards into the god tier, to 8e honest. EB: hehe... yeah me too. AG: 8ut what really gets me is this didn't even occur to me until just now, while I was sitting around thinking a8out it. AG: It was so o8vious!
1) Wait, if Homestuck had started on 4/10, would that first line even still be true?
2) Like I said, almost got it...
EB: what? AG: That was why the game split us up into two teams. AG: It knew as we came of age, we'd pro8a8ly start killing each other. AG: So it just provided the stage. Red team vs. 8lue. It was so simple! All we had to do was what we were naturally inclined to. It might have worked out 8etter for us. EB: uh... EB: i don't really see how you guys killing each other would help you play the game better! AG: Yeah, you'd think that would 8e counter productive! 8ut then again, may8e not. AG: If we really did take the team thing seriously, and started killing each other, may8e it would have meant more god tiers? AG: May8e all of us would have made it???????? AG: Damn, can you imagine? We would have 8reezed through the game even faster, killed the king without a sweat. May8e claimed the reward 8efore Jack even showed up? AG: Or if he did, may8e we could have 8eaten him then and there instead of scurrying off like cowards!!!!!!!! AG: In retrospect we failed at this so spectacularly, I am amazed, and kind of ashamed.
So close!
AG: Actually, this is pro8a8ly Karkat's fault. EB: how? AG: When it comes down to it, he was pro8a8ly too good a leader! He actually did manage to get the two teams to work together toward the same goal. It could have easily deterior8ed into a feud otherwise. AG: He was just so loud and annoying and o8sessed with leadership. He wouldn't shut up! So it was just easier to go along with his plans. EB: huh... EB: yeah, i can see how that could be true. AG: He sure kept us working together, 8ut in the end I think we paid for it. AG: It wasn't natural! Pretty fitting, really, since he's kind of a freak himself. He's not even on the hemospectrum, the weirdo. AG: I really dou8t he would have handled it as a leader if the shit ever hit the whirling device. AG: He likes to pretend he's all vicious and 8loodthirsty, 8ut I know he 8n't got that in him. I have a sense for these things. AG: He'd 8e so pissed if he heard me say this, 8ut I think he'd cut it 8etter as a human than as a troll. EB: you probably mean that as an insult, but i think it is a nice compliment! EB: but... EB: i won't tell him you said it, heheheh.
She's right in a way... remember how he deals with Gamzee?

feferi is frustrated that eridan won't ever talk about his romantic feelings with her when he does with karkat all the time

yeah pretty much
all that changes is that during update times we periodically get to talk about the latest update as a break in the insanity
