HOLY SHIT, HOMESTUCK

FIRST WEBCOMIC TO MAKE ME CRY, I SWEAR

I NEED TO STOP SHOUTING 'GOD DAMN IT, HUSSIE' EVERY TIME I READ A NEW UPDATE

OH RIGHT

THIS IS GOOD IT MEANS I HAVE SOMEONE TO CAPSLOCK AT

WHAT THE HELL IS ALL THIS KANAYA GAMZEE

AAAAAGH

Actually I kind of marathoned my way through the last half of it because I hadn't caught up on Homestuck in ages (and your troll version of yourself reminded of me about it). Great timing, self. Just in time to fall in love with all of the trolls and then watch things fall apart while waiting in agony for the next update.

Seeing Tavros get stabbed like that broke my heart, but then Kanaya really, really started to grow on me. And Gamzee has always been so likeable.

aaaaagh I did not cry because I am soulless, but I am experiencing EMOTIONAL DISTRESS thanks to the recent updates.

Well, your trollsona, I mean. I am not sure if that necessarily means that it is a representation of yourself because I am not hip to the Homestuck fandom lingo. ...If it is a fandom term and not your own invention. Yeah.

Today I am apparently the internet friend who spams you with inconsequential messages. You can blame my EMOTIONAL DISTRESS for it.

DAMN IT, WHY DOES EVERYONE ALWAYS GET TO HS BEFORE I DO IN THE MORNINGS AND THEN SEND ME EMAILS BEING ALL 'X CHARACTER!' AND THEN I GO AND READ IT AND AM NOT AS SURPRISED >(

Well, it's not too bad, actually. It prepares me. When you just said 'Gamzee' and got worried and was like SHIT HE'S DEAD, TOO?!? And he's not. Just crazy. Very crazy. And... now I'm trying to remember if we've really seen anything of him since Dave sent him that video link and if that's what made him snap?

Tavros :< He was my favorite. I started reading the comic for him. Kanaya and Fef didn't grow on me that much, either, but that was still very sad. What the hell, Eridan.

And yay for my derpy fantroll reminding people about HS!

shoot agh I am sorry! I assumed that you had probably already seen it but that was dumb because if you had then you probably would have mentioned it. agh agh agh. I am glad that at least I only said his name in a misleading way instead of being specific. It was still a bad thing and it will never happen again.

I do not think we have seen anything of him since then. However, I kind of suspect he is going to have a rap battle with Dave right away, and that is what Dave talks about in that conversation. And why he calls Gamzee the best troll, which is kind of interesting.

Oh. Shoot. Wait, he shows up on this page (http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005118) and the next. Which does not bode well for anybody.

Tavros is also my favourite. Well, maybe not. I actually like Karkat a lot, too. And Kanaya was just all kinds of agreeable. Tavros was just the nicest guy who didn't deserve any of the stuff that happened to him. }:(

Heh, it's cool. This is just, like, the third time it updated while I was asleep and other people where freaking out and spoiled it a bit (other times were Tavros's death and Fef's death).

Oh, snap. I forgot about that update. Hmm. Still doesn't particularly answer why he's snapped. EDGE OF MY SEAT RIGHT HERE

Tavros is my favorite purely because it was a Tavros rper that introduced me to HS, and their Tav was adorable and awesome. Terezi is pretty close to being my favorite, though. And Vriska is amazing in her Magnificent Bastardry.

welllll my theory about Gamzee is that he's always been messed up, but he's been doped on those sopor slime pies all along. Now that they no longer exist, he has nothing interfering with high blooded troll's tendency to BE CRAZY

(seriously, aside from Feferi every other high caste troll is fricking nuts)

I've seen a few people tossing around the idea that his lower case and CAPS voices are different personalities that were forced into one by the slime but have now separated. As far as I can see, though, his typing quirk has just gone from alternating by letter to alternating by sentence.

Honestly I feel a lot for Tavros, maybe because I am more like him than any other troll. He even does the "uh" thing that litters my text messages, e-mails, and sometimes LJ comments if I'm being casual or silly. And I guess he represents my sign, but that is incidental. There are so many other excellent characters, though! I like Rose a lot, and I fluctuate wildly between wanting Vriska dead and loving everything about her. And Equius is such a weirdo creeper, I love him so much for it.

Aha, I sooo do not pay enough attention to pick up stuff like that (though, I'm starting to). I did suspect something would happen with Gamzee, though, considering his trollian username.

Man, all the trolls are love! They are all such great characters with so much going on. Now that you mention it, you do have a few similarities with Tavros! Just... don't go throwing yourself over a cliff because of mind control!

It kind of helped that I read most of the troll stuff recently over the course of two or three days, so all the details are still pretty fresh in my mind.

I didn't suspect a thing from his username! I should have after what happened to Tavros (adios toreador indeed), but I thought that Gamzee's early unreliability was what terminallyCapricious was referring to. Now I am poring over the other usernames searching for clues about their eventual fates. I have become a paranoid wreck in the meantime.

And I have to investigate their signs, too! Did you see what Hussie said on his formspring about Kanaya and her sign being Virgo? THERE IS APPARENTLY MEANING EVERYWHERE. Except for where there isn't.

I have no plans to fall any great distances at the current time! }:) okay geeze his emoticons just make me kind of sad.
