wait wait wait wait

you pronounce the j?

Of course. Why would you just exclude the J? You'd make it feel bad about itself.

[Conspicuous]

No-one like the "j". Seriously, I'd be happy when he finally leaves us.

[Primal Zed]

Of course. Why would you just exclude the J? You'd make it feel bad about itself.

Good! Any sensible letter should feel shame for J's actions. Fondling the E like that, it's highly inappropriate. Some time by itself to think about what its done is just the solution.

Are you discriminating against the letter j'? That's just wrong. You're an awful human being.

[ashdenej]

wait wait wait wait

you pronounce the j?

Yes, actually! It's a conflation of the words ash·dene·j, and is pronounced "ash (like the tree) deen (like the wooded valley) jay (like the bird)"

Easy picture for future referece:

So yeah it isn't just a random jumble of letters like everybody thought, haha.

[Blaperile]

I always pronounced it like Ashdeneigh. Welp, the More You Know.

[Paradoxius]

Your... your user-name has its own crest. O_O

[Ace of Dark-Hearts]

I pronounce it more like ASH-den-edge.

Naturally! The inimitable Zephyrkit drew the lineart for me, which I then childishly bucket-filled.

AoDH, that is not canon.

PS. My username's motto is "Ex Nihilo Spes" but I was too lazy to put that on the crest!

[Yrr]

I pronounce it more like ASH-den-edge.

which I then childishly bucket-filled.

Dear Homestuck
Thank you for ruining this phrase for me.
Lots of love

*cocks my head*

is motherfuckin canon

[Rikushadow5]

I'd rather leave the fate of the internet in the hands of a drunk 16 year-old girl instead of Congress.

Thirded.

Anyway yeah how about that tiny Maplehoof and its dreamself?

[Daniel990]

I pronounce it ash-DEN-nidge and I will not stop.

[Primal Zed]

I'd rather talk about ashdenej some more.

WHat is up with your sig? Sometimes the top half and bottom half of the different parts are in-sync, sometimes they aren't. For a while I thought out-of-sync was intended.

[Blaperile]

Anyway yeah how about that tiny Maplehoof and its dreamself?

A. Its dreamself hasn't awakened yet and is still sleeping.

B. It's sleeping because its realself is awake.

C. It's like Jaspers/Mutie in Rose's/Roxy's room.

D. This is incredibly silly.

But seriously, I think the third option. Not too much special.

Now that we're talking about alive dream things, I wonder what role this third Cal will have and whether it or the realself will get new clothes so we have differences between all 3 Cals.

I'm really looking forward to Dave flipping the fuck out when he meets 3 Cals at the same time.

...

Oh god. I just realized he's trapped on a meteor for 3 years. With a Lil Cal there.

It's to do with if you have a fast connection or not! If it loads it all at the same time, it'll be synched - if not, then it'll be out of sync.

I am also gratified by your interest. I think I answered this on my tumblr but am not sure???

ANYWAY MAPLEHOOF and terrifying multi-Cal shenanigens

[MythicalWashrag]

So many Cals.

[Daniel990]

It looks better out-of-sync.

I was about to post this caps-locked, why do I keep doing this?

[CranialHeartache]

I will try to pronounce it as Ash-deen-jay from now on.

[terribleTrickster]

Guys I feel weird... because I have been pronouncing ashdenej correctly the entire time but I always thought I was wrong

Also I'm all for seeing jaspers and maplehoof get some form of tier or something or at least attempting to XD

relurk

[Holly]

I've always pronounced it "ash-
...fuck it".

[Conspicuous]

I pronounced it "Sweet hat dude", which sounds much better if you ask me.

[gimmethegepgun]

I pronounced it "who the fuck is this guy? *looks at avatar* oh, that guy"
Granted, since nearly every forumite is pronounced that way, I may have had the accent wrong.

[terribleTrickster]

well some days i pronounced it as "cool hat" which is similar to your way
