An Update

The bad news is that as of this moment I still don’t have any motivation to continue my Homestuck liveblog.  I’m sorry, it just doesn’t hold any interest for me.  Now there is every chance that someday the ADHD monster will grab me by the throat and insist that I continue and at that point I shall, but I couldn’t predict if and when that will happen. That said, I do want to continue posting here.  I recently began listening to The Magnus Archives and thought I might discuss my thoughts on that as I go along.  I’m only about 15 episodes in and have recorded all of my thoughts on the initial episodes through discussion with a friend, so my first step will be transcribing those thoughts.    If you have no interest in this, I fully understand.  Sorry for the disappointment, though after so long I don’t suppose it’s any great surprise.  I still love y’all dearly and thank you for the interest you’ve shown in the past!

Solidad

It's pretty impressive that you read 70 pages in only two sessions

this liveblog might be pretty short if you go this fast

pablo360able

22 weeks isn't that short.  (I say 22 because by the time 21 weeks are done there would be about one more week's worth of content, especially if there are gaps in the schedule)

MissFinefeather

How many parts did it take Minda to complete Chapter 1?

Or Da Fuk?I need to read both of those... or at least Minda's...

Solidad

Dafuk did it in 33

pablo360able

The comic, not Chapter 1, that is

MissFinefeather

Oh, had me worried there xDD

Solidad

oh yeah, sorry, I didn't read that message in full

Dafuk did ch 1 in 5 sessions

pablo360able

Minda's is pretty good because of a twist he accidentally guessed which he will probably tell you about when it comes up.

MissFinefeather

Oh, I should wait until I get to the twist then...

Solidad

No idea how many sessions it took Minda to read ch 1 though since he didn't number them

pablo360able

That's the risk you take when you read alongside the Seer of Jokes.

Dafuk, on the other hand, should be safe, being the Seer of Spaghetti.

MissFinefeather

I'm pretty safe, I'm an heir not a seer xD

I mean, I'm pretty safe to read

Solidad

Dafuk is really good at figuring plot twists, she just figures out the twists she makes up in her mind

MissFinefeather

Then again, Heir of Light just means I gain knowledge, as in the spoilers...

pablo360able

Like the spoilerrific knowledge that a convenience store clerk loves Max

MissFinefeather

xDDDD

NoBrandMinda

lol

Solidad

To be fair, Miss must have been one of the unluckiest Homestuck liveblogger when it came to spoilers

MissFinefeather

Yeah, it was mostly Homestuck I was being spoiled on...

pablo360able

With the exception of that one liveblogger who apparently got spoiled so heavily during the leadup to Cascade that they just quit entirely.

Solidad

Who ?

seer

Duck?

NoBrandMinda

I've made my share of good calls in my time reading PNat

MissFinefeather

I've got a new reaction image! xD

pablo360able

@seer That's the one.

MissFinefeather

Oh, it's a shame Duck has fallen in his journey...

Solidad

The journey through the lands of Hussie are a perilous one, let's have a moment to remember the fallen

On that topic, does anyone know what happened to Historian of Homestuck ?

I liked his liveblog

MissFinefeather

He just fell off the map

pablo360able

I've got him in my RSS feed, so I'll know if he ever updates.

Kayla

I'm hoping homehyuck will start up again soon

Solidad

same

MissFinefeather

Huh...

I wonder what the motivation was for them to disappear much of the time. I guess life got in the way.

Explains why I never fell off the map, I have no life xD

Solidad

I have not a single doubt in my heart that Suzy has blown up at least one house in a revenge plan

Heatth

If Isabel is Kanaya and Suzy is Rose, then I guess I am dutybound to ship them

That actually sounds hilarious, so I approve

Solidad

I think I have seen some people ship those two, not the most popular but it existsIt actually sounds pretty fun

consider me onboard

MissFinefeather

Considering Suzy hates her just makes it really fun xD

Also, is there a lot of shipping in the Paranatural fanbase?

Solidad

it's mostly centered around Max and it's not that important but yes the shipping community is around

though there are a few later couples that are really popular

but it's spoilers

pablo360able

I mean, it's not spoilers to say “there are people who ship adults with adults, because unlike Homestuck this comic actually has adults”

Solidad

the spoilers is more about the characters themselves

MissFinefeather

Mr. Splendid x Dr. Eggman?

NoBrandMinda

Since you keep mentioning Kanaya, I have a fun bit of trivia: the guys who did an audio reading of Homestuck also did a Let's Read of the first chapter of PNat. The voice of Kanaya played Ms Baxter, the teacher

MissFinefeather

Ooh! :O

NoBrandMinda

I think Karkat was Max? I don't remember the full overlap

MissFinefeather

Karkat would make a good Max...

NoBrandMinda

Splendid/Eggman would be a pretty rare ship. The fandom is lucky in that I haven's seen any gross ships.

Everybody keeps the adults with the adults, and the kids with the kids.

MissFinefeather

That's good. Those are... pretty bad! ^^;

I've see people pretty dead set on their ageplay ships

Frisk x Sans, yeesh

jesin00:   

You sure did Sharks a confuse, jesin. :p

Meanwhile I was just like “yeah, I’ve seen this around”. I’ve seen your empty asks while acting as ask screener for Homehyuck and ask... poltergeist... for Minda.

[redherringtime]

Is it really because it would upset Feferi or is that just a convenient excuse?  Seems like you’d have a hard time loving her if you were so opposed to her view of the world.  Maybe you’re not as genocidal as you try to make yourself out?

[redherringtime]

See?  No big deal.

But that said, if Feferi is the first and only troll to share her blood, then who kept her satiated before Feferi’s birth?

[redherringtime]

Oh hmm.  Now what are her true feelings?  She doesn’t seem particularly black or hearty towards him.  Honestly, if he’s self-sabotaging his genocidal plots then I’m not sure why she considers him a high maintenance moirail in the first place.  Both Vriska and Equius seem way more difficult. 

Maybe having a moirail that doesn’t make you want to tear your hair out is considered high maintenance?

[prinxe-with-no-crown]

How come I forgot Homehyuck

What if I just randomly tagged some Tumblr famous people

[redherringtime]

This is actually quite cute?  Why do I like this Vriska relationship more than any of her others?

[redherringtime]

Why is Tab so intrinsically funny in this comic?  Did Homestucks at the time run out and buy up all the Tab they could get their hands on like so much szechuan sauce?

No, you can actually answer that one.

[redherringtime]

A) Look at that “house”.  Are all male trolls just natural drama queens??

B) Given that you are soon to be a freshly orphaned troll, you might consider a little more empathy.

[redherringtime]

I wasn’t gonna say anything about this page, tbh, because while it’s cute there’s not a lot to really comment on (especially as someone who just doesn’t watch many movies) but then I noticed that blob.  And when I saved the gif I noticed

I believe that’s the second gif I’ve saved that’s labelled retcon and I’m beginning to have a strong suspicion it’s tied to those ink spots.  Hmmm.  

I’ve watched enough Doctor Who to know that there’s gonna be some kind of time explosion and it’s gonna blow bits all through the timeline of these dorks.  Now I’m wondering if there were any black spots for the trolls or if it was just for the humans.  Hmmmm.

...I hope this doesn’t actually turn out to be the case and I just spoilered myself lol.

[redherringtime]

It says he’s a sea dweller but I’ve never actually seen him IN the sea, as I have with Feferi.  Does he breathe water too?  Or is that just for the best blood?  Maybe he just can’t swim without his water wings lol

Well, buddy, I’ve got good news for you.  

Ick, gross. I know a few dudes like this and they’re all A BIT OF A TOOL.

Uh huh, tell us how you really feel.  Also between the wizards and the unspeakable horrors of the Deep I’m starting to think Rose is secret troll royalty.

Ok, I officially hear you in the voice of Merman from He-Man. 

[redherringtime]

Oh, that’s clever.

[redherringtime]

Weird decision on Hussie’s part to make the foreground animated (kinda) but the lightning bolt in the background still.  It’s too small to be properly dramatic. It’s just... an unusual artistic choice.

This kid looks like a total dork but his last name is Ampora which will make me think of the Tin Machine song Amlapura every time I type it which will make me happy, so at least there’s that.

[redherringtime]

What exactly does the Moirail get out of this relationship?  Because up until now these types of relationships have been presented in a pretty parasitic light, rather than symbiotic.
