i suddenly understand jack shit
-snip-
Oh my god. What if... What if while trying to beat Jack, Vriska either A. becomes or B. summons Lord English?!

I think the latter is more likely.
[QUOTE=Lucinice;26661977]I wonder why Hussie chose Vriska to be the troll with the most "screentime"?[/QUOTE]
She's a macguffin. Things that move the plot tend to also get a lot of screen time.
[QUOTE=Corporal Yippie;26660130]its not like they are actually GOOD twists
"Lol vriska did it" x 20[/QUOTE]
Think forward for a sec.
You're already used to characters whose entire purpose is to achieve someone else's objectives. We've had chess pieces, which are fairly straightforward, and billiard balls, which don't just move from point A to point B and vanish. They keep going after being initially motivated by the cue ball, and have all these lovely interactions one has to consider when lining up the original shot. To the untrained eye, some shots look like a massive clusterfuck, but you should be able to follow this.
Depending on the rules and resultant racking you can slam a blue ball directly on the break. Hell, even if you didn't, it's not like any of them can't be made to do the most bouncing around. 'Course, I don't know what game English is playing with more than 60 balls and fuck knows how many pockets, but "who did what" stopped being anything near a twist a long-ass time ago and you know it.

Also it's kinda funny that with all the trolls, the only REAL troll in the whole matter is Vriska. Everyone else is just small time.[/QUOTE]
She's not doing jackshit. She's doing what she does to john, go a few minutes in the future to see what they do, and then self-insert herself making that happen. She's fooling herself, and all of you as well. She's going to get herself kill and (possibly) by extension (some of) the trolls as well.
I hope I didn't come off as offensive.
I was thinking about it, and you can really hardly blame Vriska for it. I mean, if she didn't cause Bec to be prototyped, then a whole bunch of crap would have gone on with splintered timelines and everything, because Bec Noir would've somehow managed to come into existence without ever being created.

If you think about it, how much of a huge 8itch she is is entirely determined by how time travel works in Homestuck.
I still love vriska for some reason, guess she always will still be my favorite troll.
Why do I get the feeling though that she'll become the actual final boss due to her lust for power?
Andrew made a really informative post on formsrpings about why he's doing this stuff with Vriska, interesting read.

My quest to catch up with everyone from start to finish in "A couple of days" was not a success.
It will have to be "A few days" now as I'm only on Act 4 (Part 5) :frown:
Wait. If I know my MSPA, Lord English is...
My god. He's...
Demonhead Mobster Kingpin.
Was it ever confirmed exactly who Jade's penpal was? I'm guessing it's going to be her grandfather prototyped with Bec somehow. That letter really reminds me of how John's grandmother gave him a note in that book.
[QUOTE=Conro101;26648357]Yes you can, the Kernels are only there to prototype Derse and Prospit, we've already prototyped sprites after the Kernels are gone: Nanna and Dave.[/QUOTE]
Apologies, shit memory is shit. :smithicide:
I really can't find a similar "holy triangle" of memory for HS and Mass Effect than I have for Stargate...
Vriska gonna get whoop'd.

Oh fuck I hope he's okay :ohdear:

[quote][QUOTE=Niblic;26659415]I love Vriska so much that I fap to privately sent pictures of her naked.
The only way that I could possibly have any hate for Vriska is if she loses her awesome powers and becomes crippled.[/QUOTE][/quote]tmi[/QUOTE]
Not enough information. I want to see the mentioned pics or it didn't happen.

Jeeze, this is not how it works. She has her plans and ambitions, and these become applied for the past timeline of kids form the future she's in. Why would she check everything and make it happen in past? She knows what she wants, she knew it before she got into the Medium. She was always vriska.
Something from future influencing something in past doesn't mean that the future manipulators can just sit and go with the timeline they can see, just because they are already part of it.
It all depends on the observer. You can't really tell what happened between points A and B juts by checking them. She COULD have looked through every moment of the whole timeline, but her actions were still her. She could have also not looked through the whole timeline at all, she could have just checked some specific points and intervened at them.
You can't say somebody isn't creator of his future because he already knows it. Just the fact you would know your future influences it, but doesn't mean that you can just lie down and do nothing, unless this is what you saw in the future.
If she wasn't a crazy yet genial bitch lusting for power and challenge, their situation would just look differently. Bec Jack might not happen, they would just win the game etc. Because she is who she is and does what she does, they have the sessions connected, Bec Jack is fucking around and so on.
When you influence the past from future, you could just draw a line going from the future point back to past and merging with the line here. The timeline is just as free and just as set in stone as a normal linear one. There are just connections from future to past, which might in extreme case lead to a split, but don't mean that if the the timeline doesn't split, it has to be fully defined and all actions have to take past events into account.

There's going to be another shirt coming out through [URL="http://topatoco.com/hey/"]Topatoco[/URL] some time too. (It is Jade's shirt in fact!) Also I had promised to reopen the custom book sketches before the holidays too, but it's likely I'll have to delay that til probably after the holidays, and I am sorry to disappoint. Volume at Topatoco is so high, they can't really handle the extra load that would create.
Hng will perhaps purchase Rose's (<3)
I'm gonna get Dave's and Jade's. But 40$ seems like a lot of dosh.
ok i am getting the dave shirt as soon as possible
this has been decided by fate

They should have warned him about those stairs...
On second thought, he'll probably be fine. He can't lose his legs AGAIN, since he already has robot ones, and knowing Hussie, the lance will probably turn into a cigarette, without posing a stabbing threat.
Otherwise, Tavros simply smashes his skull and dies.
[b]IT KEEPS HAPPENING[/b]
Vriska is becoming a bluh bluh again. :colbert:
Huh. So THAT'S what Tavros was doing during "[S] Past Karkat: Wake up".
Rate agree if you want Vriska to be beaten to a bloody mess and then dance on her grave.
Rate Disagree if you think she deserves a trophy.
I rated clocks for "undecided"
