[Kíeros]

Also Kíeros I think you should convert the characters in your signature into images because they look all out of line and weirdly sized on some monitors I've used

But... Gujarati 5 and T with retroflex are different sizes than normal. 5 should look the same height as the Gemini symbol, but be raised above the baseline, while the T should start at the top and go below the baseline. If it's not that, then there may be a problem, but if the Unicode's perfect, then they shouldn't be aligned.

[User 18]

I can't decide if this this sentence is because the winky, or because you knew I would make a "How could I go to bed, when I'm ALREADY THERE" joke otherwise.

It was the winky. You can tell because I put an additional line break in, signifying a change in subject while still replying to the same quote.

Hey, eight^te_en, have you seen my latest spec? It was the most important archnumber ever!
It's the last one in my sig.

I have now :P

Well yeah but they're misaligned in a good way on my usual monitor but look all wonky on this one
The 5 is about 75% the size of the Gemini and at the baseline and the T is cut off at the bottom. The spacing between the characters is also quite lacking
Basically it's just issues with how this thing displays them so not a big deal


Also congratulations pD for having bigger boobs than me

[recalcitrantIre]

Are post schlongs a thing now? Cause if they are I have a massive one I'm itching to show off. HaHa, innuendo is funny.

I thought postcount was boobs, that one was confirmed for certain by bE

theres currently no universally ratified thing for PPD though, some people have used that for ass-choice-ness

maybe we can use total time spent on the forum for this one?

probably ninja'd on this one by a while but whatever

[bloodyEmissary]

Postcount is boobs, although I guess it could also represent schlongs because they're practically equivalent for the purposes of my original metaphor?

I like postcount being boobs more though.

[ashdenej]

Hey guys guess why I'm here

That's right it's because you're discussing postcounts rather than the comic! Please discuss postcounts as well as the comic, thanks!

I think that Roxy has got to wake up in her section - she really can't just float there and drool for her entire part.

[recalcitrantIre]

I think that Roxy has got to wake up in her section - she really can't just float there and drool for her entire part.

She can't wake up because she's too busy running from fire and drones and Red Miles and stuff

I think this is the first time in like 2 weeks I've seen ash on
probably because I'm not on as much either but oh well

You're here because you love us.

Oh drats, it wasn't because you love us.

The Vast Drool can be a thing she does. Actually, it would be kinda cool if she drunken sleeped walked the entire session and still ended up being the most contributing player. Usurp Gamzee as most important character too. She should drunkenly usurp Gamzee.

[ThereWillBePayne]

So who hired Jack?

[recalcitrantIre]

So who hired Jack?

well uu hired their Jack to kill UU's dreamself but I think he was just extrapolating from his own experiences

B1 Jack is just an omnicidal First Guardian-powered archagent

so B1 Jack hired B1 Jack to kill Bilious Slick?

/shrug

[aPawnAscending]

So who hired Jack?

Duh, what? When was he hired?

Wait, which Jack? Uracil Jack was the only hired Jack I think.

[TwinFish]

So who hired Jack?

Look at your avatar.

[ThereWillBePayne]

Well what I got from uu aPA is that someone hired Jack from universe 2 to FSU. I wonder who though.

Look at your avatar.

That makes a terrifying amount of sense.

[aPawnAscending]

Well what I got from uu aPA is that someone hired Jack from universe 2 to FSU. I wonder who though.

That makes a terrifying amount of sense.

I think I need to reread some stuff.
Though as important as Gamzee is, Twinfish, Redfish, Bluefish, One Fish, Two Fish, I doubt he would have hired Jack. He does his damage via chucklevoodoos and fear manipulation.

[recalcitrantIre]

I think I need to reread some stuff. Though as important as Gamzee is, Twinfish, Redfish, Bluefish, One Fish, Two Fish, I doubt he would have hired Jack. He does his damage via chucklevoodoos and fear manipulation.

It was a fairly recently mentioned thing but I'm pretty sure uu is just speculating based on his own experiences

or it was the fractal

think about it

[ThereWillBePayne]

Though as important as Gamzee is, I doubt he would have hired Jack. He does his damage via chucklevoodoos and fear manipulation.

Or JuJu! He did mess around with Cal during Horrorstuck, and he put that doll in John's dream room to inspire the clown thing (Which turned Jack psychotic... makes sense in a way). Dolls seem to be chucklevoodoos AND JuJu, so it connects Gamzee to uu/UU (Who mess with lot's of JuJu stuff) and since they seem to spectate a lot of different game sessions, they sort of act as spectators (or gods), which might suggest UU hired the omicidal jack to fight uu's Jackbreak mercenary?
I think I'm just rambling now.

I sort of think the whole uu/UU thing is like, one of those cycle god stories, like how the sun chases the moon stuff.

[The_Codfish]

So who hired Jack?

Lord English.

But he wasn't really hired. More like, manipulated? Though not really manipulated. It's more like LE made it so that circumstances would permit Bec Noir to do the things he did.

[aPawnAscending]

I think I'm just rambling now.

Cal Juju was created through chucklevoodoos. Ok, that last sentence looks like it would be fun to say outloud. Anyway, maybe you are right about the involvement of spectators. I should go to bed now. I mean... having two of us do a ramble off probably wont be a good idea.
