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

[Psykotika]

I recently found homestuck and read it from start to finish, it wasn't until I'd happened upon some, ah, shall we say 'risque' fanart that I realized the zodiac sign for cancer, the one that Karkat has so blissfully blazoned on his shirt looks like 69 XD and that's just worse than buckets, I wonder if John'll have a smartass comment for that when they meet? I'd it so much

[FowlJ]

It was never stated what happened to the troll's sprites after the game.
Knowing that they had gotten that far to the end,

wouldn't they have gotten their pendants?

They all most likely died when Jack rampaged and destroyed everything...

Actually it was stated. All the sprites died.

[Blaperile]

Actually it was stated. All the sprites died.

Yes. Equius stated so in Alterniabound when talking to Karkat, after the latter made a joke about Arthour.

"The Prince flew the coop."

DD makes good puns.

coup

[reflectiveRhino]

I just realized the curtains of each diffrent session is based on the color of the housy sign. All of the acts pertaining to the beta kids had red curtains(the alpha color) and all the acts pertaning to the alpha kids were green9the beta color).

[nitpick] It would be a better pun if "coup" were pronounced anything like "coop". [/nitpick]

[Storm980]

Agh I just noticed that Vriska and Tavros are now about 7 1/2 sweeps old

[Redux]

Not Homestuck, but.

Hysterical Dame's introductory panels mimic Problem Sleuth's.

Also another Pickle Inspector falling in a sillier manner that somehow eluded my eye.

Nope. They're dead. They're still 6 sweeps old. I'm pretty damn confident you don't age when you're dead.


EDIT:

FTFY

Looks more like you broke that for him.

In B1(Universe B-1, as I believe is the correct designation for it, please correct me if I'm wrong) John's Nanna was cremated. Jade's Grandpa was stuffed.
In B2 Jake's Grandma was cremated. Jane's Poppop was stuffed.

>.> also note that Jade calls what is essentially Jake "Grandpa", and Jake calls Jade "Grandma", while John and Jane use the more cutesy "Nanna" and "Poppop".

[Blaperile]

UB1(Universe B-1, as I believe is the correct designation for it, please correct me if I'm wrong)

You can use whatever you want, but in the comic A1, A2, B1 and B2 are used as the names for the universes.

I didn't realize that the reason 11/11/11 was called 2x3prongday was because, in addition to Crockercorp's rebranding, the six 1's look like thr prongs on the Condesce's double trident.

2x3=6

I did not see that

[Paosheep]

I've been sitting around trying to figure out where GCat comes from. Bec and Scratch both showed up through portals during the reckoning, but the Alpha session has no reckoning; where did he come from? So I finally get off my butt and go looking for clues, and sure enough, there's my answer:

ROSE: And it's not that there were no meteors whatsoever.
ROSE: Just the vast majority of the destructive onslaught never showed up.
ROSE: But delivering the temple to the site of the forge is still integral to jumpstarting the session.
ROSE: That meteor however could have been propelled through a portal by any means, not just via the reckoning.

That should have been obvious to me the first time around, but for some reason it just wasn't.

[Myon]

I missed that Liv Tyler's bunp has two N's.

[Blaperile]

This is version 4.13. WELP, I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN

EDIT:

Cross-posting:

Their theory was probably based on the fact that Prospitians are grey when they're dirty - see the pawns on the Battlefield and PM after she's been wandering Earth for who-knows-how long. We know it's dirt or some residue like that because she's a gleaming white before that!

This means that my Weasels = Prospitians theory is still effectivley canon obviously.

That is, in fact, the true reason that I'm still reading Homestuck. In the nebulous hope that I'll see some weasels again.

The latter part is of course not confirmed, but for the former part I really didn't notice the fact that PM looked gray while being an Exile.

Nope. They're dead. They're still 6 sweeps old. I'm pretty damn confident you don't age when you're dead.

Oh, so they were 6 sweeps old throughout playing Sburb? I'm pretty sure that it would take AT LEAST one Earth year to finish the game.

[nsinned]

Actually in this pesterlog, Karkat states that it took them about 600 hours to finish the game (which works out to 25 Earth days).

[xanibabe]

So they'd be roughly 6.15 sweeps, then?

[FowlJ]

A sweep is 2.16 years. So, Tavros and Vriska weren't exactly six sweeps when they started, but 612 hours later (how long it took them to finish), puts them at (give or take) 6.03.

Between 6.03 and 7.02 sweeps.
All the trolls were 6 sweeps old when their session began, that leaves room for plenty of them to be 6.50 sweeps old, or even 6.90. However, if we use the B1 kids for a frame of reference, then they are around 6.30 to 6.40 sweeps old when they die, or, 6.15 to 6.20, depending on whether they are displaced from Karkat by months or solar perigees or whatever.

We really don't know though. Given the constellations, it's possible Tavros (for example) wasn't far off turning 7 sweeps, while Vriska was more like 6.5.
There are so many possibilities it's silly and doesn't really belong here.

... they planned to release a stable version of sburb? i guess they didnt know the beta version would destroy the world.

[Rhapsody]

I was going through some of the flash pages and realized that on this page, I completely missed the zoom-out button[which would have made 'playing' that flash much much easier ], and yet I didn't miss the sound button. Excuse me while clear out the clutter on my desk so that I may bang my head on it.

Well, you never know which version is going to be the one that's fated to destroy your world, do you? The software development cycle isn't a part of the whole mobius double reacharound from paradox space. In Earth's pre-scratch iteration, the beta version is the hot potato. In the scratched Earth it's the alpha. Post-scratch Alternia was destroyed by a pre-alpha developer copy distrubuted by the programmer, and we don't even know what happened on pre-scratch Alternia.
