Is the MSPA website down for anyone else? I just woke up and wanted to check it, but I can't! And everybody is sad for some reason and I want to know why!
oh hey I was wondering if people would be able to justify Vriska's actions
SHE GOT HIM KILLED BY THE DEMON SHE IS COMPLETELY INSANE
It's not a matter of justifying it so much as a matter of not worrying about it. This is not the type of story where he dies and that's the end of him and you mourn. This is the type of story where he dies and he's better later. I mean, it makes sense when you think about it:

Nope, it's working fine for me. Maybe your browser just wants to protect you.
The big Flash pages [and even that one] are listed on the Art and Music credits pages; you'll find Let the Squiddles Sleep very easily in such a short list.
So did Vriska put John to sleep to really make him more powerful? I mean, she died and became only a dream self, so maybe that's the only way? Make John like her and what not. Same clothes and everything.
First, it's time to be captious old ladies pulling at loops in scarve, cause it's nit-pick time!
really hussie... a panel of john dying... john... dying... and you don't hit the saturation on his shirt correctly? I mean you know this is probably the most graphically shocking and narratively intense visual of the story so far (even if he has a dreamself, it's like having your protagonist in a nightmare. you might know he gets out of it all right, but it's still bad) and I respect the effort you put in, but a bit more t crossing and i dotting.
Also, I know this is also an intense nitpick, but why did you arrange the panels in this manner? As much as the "ho shit" when I saw bec was, it made dead john look not as shocking or dramatic. in the slightest. 4984 was the reveal that john dies. If you possibly had a panel similar to 4983, but instead it was a gif that shifted to bloodied john, without sword in his chest. Then reverse the POV shot back to Bec Noir (maybe a close up of the bloodied sword first, so that you couldn't tell it was sticking out of a torso (yeah you wouldn't fool anyone, but dramatics)). Suspense and wtf factor would both be improved (of course, both standard concepts of fiction : P)

actually I retract my last statement. At the end of the last flash, there is a glowing "wind" symbol above the bed. So it's something, at least and not just a sacrificial altar

I can't fathom the mind that would post that. I mean, what's the expected reaction? Hussie going "oh shit, this guy is right!" and then pulling the comic and redoing it as suggested?

I think the idea is simply that andrew goes "Man, this dude knows what he's talking about" and just basically acknowledges his inherent superiority and dedication to detail.
vriska is so awesome i really like how the people who like her all dirdrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrqcccccccccccccccccbtwrggggggggggggvvvvvvvv--
Oh god Vriska struck again
This shit is too bananas.
I guess Sollux is super awesome too? Or maybe he was too much of an in2ufferable prick to level up into the God Tiers.
I dunno, this just doesn't make any sense in terms of powergamin'. Why throw away an extra life? Unless you had to... but I think Vriska's just being weird and wants John to be like her.
God who knows. Still sucks.

i like how this links to some random post in a two-year-old starcraft thread

andrew if you want to save MSPA from turning into a shitty naruto wannabe you have to listen to me. I know you are more of a 'big picture' person but i am more of a 'bigger picture + details' person which is why you should use this ending that I wrote in my fanfiction version of your comic, please I have invested a lot of time in reading your comic and i think you owe it to your fans and to your contemporaries like me to give us what we want
SCENE: it is completely dark and there is a circle of red on the floor we do a slow zoom in on the drop of blood and it revealed as a drop of blood... and in the drop of blood we see a reflection of JOHN, VRISKA and SHYGUY fighting. for this style you should be drawing it like a manga (only for these Epic Scenes), NOT using the shitty pixel style you were trying out earlier.... the battle goes on for chapters 7 8 and 9, john ends up dying but ShyGuy and Vriska save the day and then there is a love scene with them (this must be drawn tenderly and should be done in sepia tones to make it classy), then there is a THE END that will fade in slowly...
...BUT THEN IT CHANGES INTO A QUESTION MARK ("?"), and you see a bloody hand reach out to grab the question mark, it is important to use this as foreshadowing (a literary term, it means 'hinting') of a sequel

Does anyone remember what those were called? :U
Seriously wtf Vriska.

I know we've seen her put John to sleep, and then wake him up, but she's always interacting with his normal body.
I'm wondering if this closes the door on her ability to screw with John anymore.
No, it's been mentioned several times in the past that the trolls can in no way see or interact with the kid's dream world.
So yeah, she is basically shut out from him.

If such a thing exists at all. John needs to stop being such a gullible chump.
So... Vriska's "soon you'll have to make your own choices!" came a bit quicker than expected?
I'm gonna go ahead and posit that "quest bed" is some bullshit that Vriska made up to make John fall into step with her plan

Excellent.
Fuck her.
so what does this imply about karkat's first conversation with john then
worst day
I was like
reallly, dude?
really?

I've been looking for one of those

Remind me what this is implying, cause I really do not remember what Karkat's first convo with John was.

this dude
he mad
I think the idea is simply that andrew goes "Man, this dude knows what he's talking about" and just basically acknowledges his inherent superiority and dedication to detail.
And then ... sloppy makeouts.
his first conversation with john was when john is in his windy clothes
so if the trolls can't interact with the kid's dream selves
it implies that windy clothed-john can't be dream-john, maybe?
Oh god Vriska struck again
