#night and day reaction

day 4: angel & demon >:)

[hedgehog-moss]

Much love to this old lady whose reaction to Macron's Great Saucepan Ban of 2023 was to straight-up smuggle a saucepan in her purse past the police checkpoint to go clang it with a spoon near the president with renewed anger and determination.

Protesters today greeted the Prime Minister on an official visit by banging their shoes against walls to make noise, so I wonder how long we'll still be allowed to wear shoes.

(Joking about this is risky because after the saucepan protests on Monday, Le Gorafi (the Onion's French cousin) joked that the government would now take action to seize pans—and it became a reality on Thursday... We can't forget that our satirical news outlets are disproportionately affected by the bullshit inflation.)

Sparkstember - Kimono My House

Ranking Sparks songs based on the reaction they get on karaoke night

Shocking!! Most popular Sparks song remains popular??!!! Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat and so forth. You don't even have to let your voice warm up beforehand, because everyone will be screaming so loudly you won't be able to hear yourself anyway. It's a win-win!

WV: Turn on your location.

(page 739-754)

These pages explicitly confirm that the appearifier can appearify anything at the coordinates and time it’s set to, and that the righthand button sets the coordinates to this facility’s location. We also get new information – an appearifier cannot also disappearify, as that’s a totally separate machine, and, if appearifying something would create a time paradox (for example, that thing was already eaten in the past by a hungry creature), it will instead paradoxify, creating a green slime ghost imprint of the object.

A green slime ghost. Now where have I heard that one before.

John would be so so excited to get his hands on one of these contraptions, he could create all kinds of cool slimes. To be honest, I love how Homestuck lets characters be excited about the mechanics they’re discovering. WV’s narration being ‘this mysterious gourd was transported (appearified!!!)… You wonder if the machine (APPEARIFIER!!!)’ (p.739) is holding hands with John’s being ‘Get all this shit out of the way, you're about to make something sweet!’ (p.633). On a similar note, WV poking and prodding the appearifier with the HANDY RULER (p.736) is holding hands with John examining the alchemiter ‘in a cautious manner’ by just standing on it (p.161). Separated by time and species, they share a thrilling scientific curiosity.

It is, I think, extremely intentional that the precise coordinates and time of this facility are partially obscured to us. We see the latitude, 44.517677, the longitude only after the decimal point, ???.821422, the elevation, 350.7 at ground level, and the final digits of the time, ?6:13 (surely 16:13). We don’t see the crucial first digits of the longitude, or the date.

Andrew Hussie is testing me and I think I can win. IF we assume that the bunker roughly corresponds to the location of a known Sburb player – John, Rose or Dave – the options are fairly limited.

John lives in PDT, so for the bunker to be in his location, it would have to be in northern Oregon – between -123.821422 and -117.821422. However, northern Oregon is open and foresty and best I can tell, none of these numbers would correspond to a suburb. This would rule out John’s location.

Dave lives two timezones ahead of John, in CDT, and in a city. -92.821422 is close to Minneapolis-St Paul, but not quite there. -87.821422 is in Green Bay, Wisconsin, home of the Green Bay Packers – by far the most transmasc name of any NFL team so a great place for Dave to live. However, we know the elevation is in meters, and elevation at this point of Green Bay is only 205.8m. Additionally, it’s unlikely it’d be so hot that far north in April. This would rule out Dave’s location.

Rose lives three timezones ahead of John, in EDT. She’s in a rural area, and specifically refers to herself as on the east coast. This could put her in upstate New York, Vermont, or Maine – between -74.821422 and -67.821422. Out of these options, by far the closest in elevation is -74.821422, with an elevation of 343.6. This is indeed a rural area, and it’s even directly next to a river, just as Rose’s house is. So the bunker could be in Rose’s location, and would place her house by the Racquette River in St. Lawrence County, New York.

Of course, the bunker could have nothing to do with our known characters. It could be in France at 0.821422 longitude, perhaps implying a French language edition of Sburb. But given how deliberate and interconnected this story has been, I’m placing my bets on this bunker being in the ruins of Rose’s house.

Some foreshadowing in these pages – the symbol carved into the appearified pumpkin is focused on, with the narrator saying that ‘you doubt it will ever prove to be relevant in any way.’ (p.739) It looks like a creature of some kind, with ears on top and two tufts of fur or whiskers on the sides, but is too abstracted to guess much further. We know that this pumpkin came from GG, and that GG has a pet of some kind – a ‘devilbeast’, according to Dave (p.382) – so she could have carved its likeness into a pumpkin.

Also, ‘you have an uncanny knack for tracking precise distances you have already traversed, in whatever units you choose’ (p.743) – what the fuck does this mean. It’s so blatantly narratively convenient in the moment that it feels like it HAS to come up again sometime. Unless it’s a chess reference, referring to tracking previous moves. It’s also immediately proven true – WV might not be great at commanding John, opening cans, or focusing on reality, but they have an absolute gift for appearifying things from precise locations. Getting the firefly out of the amber needs precision on the scale of a couple millimeters, and they make it look easy.

Serenity is beautiful, and I’m glad she’s free. For what it’s worth, a quick search says that in some species of flashing lightning bugs, the male fireflies fly around and flash, while the females mostly remain static and flash back from their given location. So I am choosing to interpret Serenity as a transgender firefly, which I'm certain is not an intended reading but it's a very fun one.

Have you guys ever been so disgusted by family snz that you actually start crying

[hamable]

The 180 switch I had between laughing at Fabian’s emotional response to Gorgug leaving the Owlbears-an admittedly low stakes, low consequence decision- to then being heartbroken that Fabian is so affected because it was the one place he could hang out with his friends and not have the world on his shoulders…
