October Spooky Gigapause Thread
We've still got a few hours until October actually hits, but I'm just setting the thread up for now. As always, nobody post in here until it's time.

Also, don't forget that Halloween URLs are going to be in full force soon, so remember to tag images as "seasonalsource" accordingly.

That... was actually pretty insightful of Vriska. Accepting your own bullshit is the first step to stopping it.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fanartists. I need panel redraws. Now. Or come up with your own creative situations for Meenah to be braiding Vriska's hair, that works too, I don't care, it's time for styling_hair to be a tag

Oh but anyway yes fascinating update and worth the wait and Vriska/Meenah is suddenly a contender for the top tier of friendships in Homestuck. In fact, I don't think it'd be too much to say that at the very least, Vriska/Meenah just completely ran away with the Choicest Friendship Between Two Female Trolls category.

@Ruse: Which is interesting. Dead people aren't supposed to really grow, right?

I think Vriska might have had an epiphany, you guys!

Anyway, that was a mostly good and cute update.

I thought it was a tag? At least I tagged one image that I've uploaded that had characters styling their hair.

Oh wow, you beat me to it!

THE FLOODGATES

ARE OPEN

Okay, I'll implement the tag based on what's in the workshop. Anyway, to get back on-topic, the only thing that bugs me about this update is that looking back on the dramatic-jumping-into-pit sequence, I find it hard to tell whether Hussie was deliberately sowing the seeds for this conversation or whether he really did think it was sincerely awesome at the time and he's backtracking now.

It's easy to imagine that the idea of promoting Aranea as a villain didn't come to him until late in the game and, until that time, he really was planning for the whole dream ghost army idea to pan out.

But these misgivings don't mar my warm fuzzy feels for this update.

Rose to the rescue, and Jake turns out to be a flop even as a superpowered god-being that can make the imaginary tangible.

In other news, snow is cold.

Yeah, and now we are at the point, where I can see only 3 paths:
1) Dirk becomes fake again, cause Jake is dumb, meanwhile Aranea comes back to her normal self OR has some sort of mental problems caused by half-lost soul.
2) Dirk starts the loooong monologue to Jake about their love and friendship, which makes Dirk 413% real and allows him to beat the soul out of Aranea.
3) Real Dirk arrives and kicks the shit out of everyone.

At least I hope, that sudden magical LE won't appear. That would be such a hurry move.

everything is getting hectic rn. it makes me wonder what the next update is gonna be about. i like how like idk most of the relevant characters nowdays are like on hte same freaking planet. it really does feel like its gonna come to a close. idk much else to say since im basically jumping in here having weird withdrawls from not talking to anyone about homestuck ever for like months.

i really like vriska with braids can we talk about braided vriska pls

as for what pie says i kind of hope for option 3. idk i don't really like dirk that much but it would be nice to see the real dirk idk what to think about brain ghost dirk??/ it just seems like another one of those jokey hs things you blow off because its stupid but then suddenly it comes off as like a legitimate THING?

also catching up with homestuck and as an extension mspabooru is really awkward from the library computers. wow.

So what happens when Gamzee is free from Aranea's control? I'm a bit worried for Terezi.

Looks like Jake's carrying on the proud Harleybert tradition of getting climactically stabbed in the chest.

IDE/Theory: Gamzee can be killed, but only if you strike the nape of his neck. Oh, you didn't know? He's a Titan. Just look at that smile.

Of course, that's complete bullshit, but this update is still about as tragic and hopeless as the 57th Expedition.

He's going to gouge her eyes out.

Terezi's is boned. But hey, maybe she'll be able to visit Vriska and Meenah.
