Obvious things you missed 8: this isn't the most recent OTYM thread

[Tenebrais]

Yes, it was always there. The last couple pages are presumably Andrew's continuing campaign to give every line in Act 1 some sort of payoff.

Actually it's caret cake.

Edit:

[Iguana Baritone]

... Was that always there?

Just to expand on this answer, Hussie asks the question of why nobody has made a Ghostbusters II MMO in the Homestuck Book, which was written fairly recently, so I guess he thought it would be cool to include it again.

oh hey look it's snoop dogg

In the OP.

Hero of Blood symbol.

It took me until the most recent updates to realize that the ghost on John's old shirt comes from Ghostbusters.

I just realized that, beyond the fact that it should be impossible, there's a second reason as to why AR calculating Pi to the last digit is funny: 3.14.

[Elita Again]

Rereading Mindfang's Journal, I just now realized that trolls body temperature is warmer the lower they are in the hemospectrum, as Mindfang could tell about what color her slave had by feel.
This suddenly makes a lot of sense.

I just read a pesterchum transcript something in the 413 thread where chum 1 pointed out to chum 2 (chum 2 was using Terezi's chumhandle) that chum2's handle has "libra" in it. Sure enough, gallowsCalibrator. I had not noticed that previously. I knew some chumhandles had the zodiac names heavily influencing them, e.g. caligulasAquarium = Aquarius. So I thought about it some more and noticed some less obvious ones, too. Here's my list:

apocalypseArisen = Ares
adiosToreador obvious
twinArmageddons
carcinoGeneticist - I'm sure it's been mentioned the cancer causing nature of... yeah, I'll stop
arsenicCatnip - a bit of a stretch to get to Leo or Lion, I think
grimAuxiliatrix ... uhhh.....
gallowsCalibrator
arachnidsGrip - scorpions and spiders are the same whatchamacalliscientificnameything... I'm tired so yeah, that's what I'll officially call it... of arachnids
centaursTesticle ... uhhh, maybe there's a rather deformed 'archer' in there.

This helps for Auxiliatrix.


And Centaurs usually use bows as weapons.

Which is exactly what the constellation for Sagittarius is.

I just saw in [S] Make her pay when it zooms in on LOPAH the castle has a heart in it and it is pumping out all the blood on the land.

Wait..really? OOOOHHHHHH OK THANK YOU. Wow i feel frickin stupid.

Now I sort of regret not reading Rose's GameFAQ stuff.

[maroon]

Also I just realized two things.

1. Jack's crosbytop in the intermission has the time set for 4:13 am, but not 6:12, because he is TECHNICALLY part of the trolls' session.

2. Rose misspells the word "realize" very often. She is the only character who does. None of the others do!

[mysteriousOutsider]

You mean the word 'realise'?

[Stormspirit]

Just like mO pointed out, that's because both 'realize' and 'realise' are accepted spelling of the same word.

Green Slime Ghost, actually, a (fictional) Japanese knock off of Ghostbusters. I don't think that was adequately explained anywhere in the actual comic, though, so I don't blame you guys for missing it.

[Crispiness]

The heart symbol is only half-filled, and broken.

UU: a path rUled by the heart aspect can be a joUrney of splintered self.

Lol. I meant she spells it either "relise or relize." Without the letter a.

[Stormspirit]

Lol. I meant she spells it either "relise or relize." Without the letter a.

Oh? Really? Well, then, that's quite strange. Huh.

[Redux]

Lol. I meant she spells it either "relise or relize." Without the letter a.

TT: There's still a perfectly intact piece of my mind which realizes how ridiculous it is to be flying across rainbow oceans with a couple of magic wands and a salamander

TT: Ok.
TT: Then, it's like a panic button for the players to push once they realize the cause is lost.

ROSE: You do realize we've seen her already, right?

also, nep was a hero of heart: schrodinger's cat.

Very important. The orage/yellow hat on Dirk's shirt is on Bro's head (coloured grey).
More of the same hats are shown in different colours here.

Jane's tightassiness is a reference to Nannasprite's sealed lips and vague wordings with regards to John's Quest as the Heir.
