This was intentionalBut you can only notice it retroactively
Congratulations, you may have stumbled upon the most concise possible summary of Homestuck.
Evangelion, and why Hideaki Anno hates you
Real talk: if you never actually watched Neon Genesis Evangelion all the way through, everything you know about it is wrong.
Although for that matter, even the people who watched it all the way through are wrong about it.
Let’s talk about the creator: Hideaki Anno, and why he’s happiest when you are angry.
So basically, Anno is an immature wuss who refuses to deal with the fact that the world is different than how he wants it…
Wait, Gendo Ikari is Anno’s self-insert! Everything suddenly makes sense.

Rose: Deploy the Punch Designix.
Another strange contraption to mess around with
Unlike the others, it actually cost us some Grist, though
Tutorial Time is over
Shit is getting realer than Alan Moore’s beard
Oh gosh they are so adorable
I almost don’t want John to kill them
Look…
Okay, so I know that this is super late, but I want to explain the whole reader-submitted commands stuff because it is REALLY INTERESTING.
So basically, up until about 1/3 of the way into Problem Sleuth, Hussie just accepted either the first command or the most submitted one. After that, he started to play with the commands a little, choosing ones he liked or twisting them around because he had a vaguely outlined plot he wanted to tell.
This continued until the end of Homestuck Act 2 (except for the future parts), after which he started cutting down on commands accepted. There would be long stretches of pages without any reader suggestions and Hussie also started closing down the suggestion box in preparation for certain [S] pages, starting with [S] Enter (although most people only became aware of this when he did it for the next big flash).
As Act 4 continued on, he accepted less and less reader commands until he shut down the suggestion box for the pages leading up to the End of Year One flash, planning to open it back up after it was done, but he never did so. He realized that 1) having to accept reader suggestions was slowing down the pace at which he wanted to tell his story and 2) Homestuck had so many readers by that point that going through all the suggestions was absolutely impossible.

I JUST LOST LIKE 30 PAGES BECAUSE FIREFOX FUCKING CRASHED RRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOO （;≧皿≦）
Well, it would seem we’re dealing with quite the classy douchebag here!
This is why it’s a good idea to always store your candy in your BACKUP HAT rather than your usual one. Other members of your gang have learned this the hard way and they’re finally starting to catch on.
Learned this THE HARD WAY. At least one of these tough guy mobsters had a mental breakdown after losing two pieces of godawful candy
i love them
WAIT WHAT IS ONE OF THEM INVISIBLE
Suddenly you get coldcocked in the face from the future.
You’d know the knuckles belonging to that suckerpunch anywhere.You… from the… what
How does that work…. like you… punch the air in the future and then… send your invisible arm… to the past…
(ಥ_ಥ)
Trace always knows where you’ve been.
The spineless rat likes to follow your PAST TRAIL around and mess with you.Aw naw don’t drag your fancy coat-tails through some guy’s blood
Ok. Ok so. I guess he can interact with people’s past selves. Which should probably cause all kinds of weird time loops but. I’ll be here till morning if I keep thinking about this stuff.
Oh, hey Deuce! How would he even keep up with Trace if he decides to run away tho
Look at his tiny lil legsTrouble is, whenever he does, he lets you know exactly where he’s going to be in the future. This time you’ll be ready for him.
You radio Deuce for backup. Give him a time and place, and exactly what path through the mansion to take.fffffff Ok so the way they’re doing it, with Deuce sneaking up on Trace, waiting until he punches DD, and then taking him out, this works just fine
But if he knows exactly where he’ll be, someone could kill Trace BEFORE he hit DD, retroactively making that a thing that never happened, meaning that nobody ever knew where he was gonna be, meaning that he DIDN’T get killed, meaning that he could punch him and wHEEZE THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT COULD GO SO HORRIBLY WRONG HERE (‘◇’)UNless every event in time is just… fixed? Like it doesn’t matter what you “decide” to do, because it’s always the exact thing the universe is “expecting”?
Fin’s power is that he can interact with people’s future selves. But that also means that the future selves can interact with him. So when DD fired his gun, his future-trail-self’s bullets hit Fin in the past.

Also, a rather important ask I forgot to answer:
I tend to get pretty dizzy/nauseous/disoriented when I look at really flashy images for too long, but I’m not epileptic, I’ve never had a seizure or anything, no need to worry
Mostly, stuff like the Kernelsprite just really pisses me off…
Actually, Quarters sounds like Quatorze, French for 14, biscuits come in a baker’s dozen (13), a stitch in time saves nine, and Fin is old slang for a five-dollar bill (and Sawbuck is indeed slang for a ten-dollar bill).
LOOK SLICK
DOC IS DEAD
YOU DONT NEED TO KILL SNOWMAN
YOU DONT NEED TO DO IT
YOU CAN JUST GO ON AND HATE SMOOCH HER AGAIN, THATS TOTALLY OKAY.
Oh I just paused for a moment to answer an Important Text and looked up at the top of the screen. It has the little eight ball…
The trolls’ BQ was prototyped with an image of their frog, remember? So now she’s part Bilious Slick and actually has the trolls’ universe inside her.

This is what a REAL rape prevention campaign looks like
All the awards.
DO ME A HUGE FAVOR AND REBLOG THIS!
This is perfection in a campaign
I love how they included a situation where a guy could’ve gotten raped. People don’t seem to realize that males get raped too. It’s less common, but it happens. That is what sets this campaign apart from others.
This is beautiful

Good she’s finally embracing her Seer role instead of being her evil witchy self.
On that note I suspect Witch and Seer are opposite classes, just because Jade was acting as a seer of time, while rose was working as a Witch of void.
Okay, I know I’m like way too late to the party but holy shit! You basically figured out an important part of the class/aspect system (the way some classes can invert, although some fans consider Seer to be paired with Mage, not Witch) a few thousand pages before it was actually revealed.
