I don't think they'll ever fully reveal the specifics of troll genitalia at risk of alienating peoplethorondraco wrote: ↑Fri Dec 20, 2019 12:17 pmI rather lorved both routes. Though it kinda happened again. We had two routes that seem equally valid. God damn it more stuff!
At least.. it seems like nepeta will remember both.
We need nepeta alive in the comics cause she would be good pals with Dave and her powers could help us counter dirk.
Sollux route was pretty intersting in itself. His music was rad and the kanaya stuff... Yea she is hilarious Xd.
I am wondering if Bulge just refers to general genitalia at this point for trolls. However they are set up down there.
It is interesting he is riding on a train of all things especially considering that a train seems to be a major thing featured in Act 2 of hiveswap. Also that apparently the Reader can't access Doc's mansion himself.
Apparently something has happened with Aradia. Ghost aradia that is. Did she cease to be in the living world? Also i am almost convinced that there is now Two Johns and a sollux loose on the human world right now. Cause time shenanigans.
And he didn't nearly die at any point in these either. This is the first time since Rose's route where he didn't die in at least once during the volume. Suspiciously after he recovered his memories. Also is that Tposer getting closer? O.o
The next and most likely characters will be Eridan and Feferi. Feferi i think will get a fire lit under her ass by the reader. However they could fuck with us and its neither. We are reaching the end of the pesterquest and who knows what will happen?
think its probably an analogy to our human parts but with some scifi alien differences.Darth_Energon wrote: ↑Fri Dec 20, 2019 12:58 pmI don't think they'll ever fully reveal the specifics of troll genitalia at risk of alienating peoplethorondraco wrote: ↑Fri Dec 20, 2019 12:17 pmI rather lorved both routes.

The problem with the psionics image is he has no grub scars.sorbicCondition wrote: ↑Fri Dec 20, 2019 2:05 pmI can't believe Solluxander is real.
Also Nepeta is so, so good. She deserves the world. I wonder what happened to her hive. Also that one bad end in her route... jesus fuck. Some moments make you sit back and remember that these are 13 year olds and it's quite distressing.
Anyway. Everything Dave said was funny. Everything Sollux said was funny. Just a lot of quality writing on display this volume I gotta say. Also all the sprites are wonderful. I especially like that one Sollux sprite where he's using his psionics.

Im on the other side of that spectrum my guy. Please end Pesterquest. Please send it off into the deepest darkest pit that the furthest ring has to offer, because all of the interpretations of these characters are either boring or their characterization is butchered beyond reason.thorondraco wrote: ↑Fri Dec 20, 2019 7:32 pmThey better not kill off all these incarnations of these characters and force everyone else to just awaken their ultiamte self to experience these memories. That would be ass.
Though i don't think the reader would ever accept that of course. But the paradox's demands are selfish and unyielding.
Well you are jsut factually wrong on all those fronts.

maybe sollux and kanaya are both trans. that might explain why kanaya dressed sollux up instead of dressing herself up. this is even more into "shaky headcanon territory" but there's no reason they couldn't have developed a crush on each other before they transitioned. but sollux looks like A Man so now they're this kind of close friends? huh.calamityCons wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2019 12:03 amKanaya’s return was cute but also kind of left me feeling bitter because I used to think Kanaya and Sollux were a cute ship until Kanaya was confirmed to be a lesbian
With Vriska it was obvious why she seemed a lot more vulnerable and open. This is all taking place after Sgrub failed to play. Like sollux she was feeling extremely hopeless, as she had expected to use the game as a means of reconnecting with everyone and knew it was extremely important in some way. But then it fell through and she was left as ostracized as ever. It left her arguably even more vulnerable than she was when she killed Tavros and opened up to John.calamityCons wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2019 12:03 amNepeta’s route was really interesting due to the twin good endings. I’m surprised that wasn't given to sollux due to the whole duality thing he has going on. Sollux himself seemed fairly in-character and consistent, but also it has a giant fucking plot hole as the lead up to the good ending, and Kanaya’s return was cute but also kind of left me feeling bitter because I used to think Kanaya and Sollux were a cute ship until Kanaya was confirmed to be a lesbian and tumblr would refuse to let you forget that for even a microsecond.
Nepeta was also very in character and her Meowrails ending was some damn good payoff for Equius’ excitement to see her in his own route. That was well done and I nearly shed some tears ngl.
Re: characters being in-character, based on what we see in canon and my interpretation of the trolls...
Aradia seemed fine because her personality was never well defined to begin with and changed drastically multiple times throughout Homestuck so she’s a wildcard and anything goes for her desu.
Tavros was very damn well done and touched me on a personal level.
Sollux’s route was a rambling bout of kinda boring nonsense that relies on some pretty heckacious birdshit to happen at all. Gamzee showing up was genuinely funny though.
Karkat should be meaner and more verbally abusive than he actually was in pesterquest.
Nepeta is difficult to write poorly because at her core she’s just a regurgitation of some of Jade’s more surface level traits: furries and the behavior of young fangirls. She, like many other troll characters, is very simple at her core.
Kanaya’s own route was fucking boring and revolved around Vriska which was annoying, but i didn’t notice anything out of character for her.
Terezi is a character I never understood to begin with. I can’t comment on that one.
Vriska. Hoo boy, Vriska is a rough road especially the shit writing for her route and that goddamn Did Nothing Wrong meme.
Equius was a surprisingly dignified and sweet take on a character introduced to be a shock value degenerate and walking horse joke, which i appreciate.
Gamzee’s route was utter shit with no redeeming qualities to it. It was horrible and wound up just being about Karako instead.
with those cracks in the sky kind of like dream bubbles, i think this could be a shitty dream mspa reader is having.galileanTactician wrote: ↑Fri Dec 20, 2019 11:39 pmIm on the other side of that spectrum my guy.

no that sounds dumb. also, he never fucked horses because he's only 6thorondraco wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2019 1:11 amOh god what if the reason we only got the whole Equius is a sweaty horsefucking degenerate because Hussie in universe, didn't really know what was going on in Equius' head?
Genuinely don't undersatnd this thing people have where they think Hussie is some kind of master planner and that everything that doesn't seem deep really is somehow. Equius really is this simple.thorondraco wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2019 1:11 am
Oh god what if the reason we only got the whole Equius is a sweaty horsefucking degenerate because Hussie in universe, didn't really know what was going on in Equius' head? They are working that retroactive majyyk and applying similar reason to why Dirk can't read Roxie's mind. He made it seem like he is a degenerate and could exemplify those traits, but didn't know Equis true nature because he was masked by Void aspect?
Well no that is why i said he used Retroactive Majyyk. not retcon cause this is out of universe mostly.egg wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2019 3:06 amGenuinely don't undersatnd this thing people have where they think Hussie is some kind of master planner and that everything that doesn't seem deep really is somehow.

pesterquest is like, unironic candy. i don't know what that means, exactly, but i feel it.

IDK, it seems more like Sollux used to have hair more like Mituna and since Sollux and Gamzee ship was hinted at, maybe he dressed like Gamzee. I don't know why everything has to go to trans.TH4NK YOU B3N wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2019 12:41 amthorondraco wrote: ↑Fri Dec 20, 2019 12:17 pmI am wondering if Bulge just refers to general genitalia at this point for trolls.

yes i guess "they're trans" is somehow a solluxtion to everything. i don't know why my brain always goes in that direction. if anything, for me this mostly explains why his name is solluxander, which breaks the six letter rule. i'm very picky about pointless bullshit.
i hope someone can come up with a different explanation. personally i don't think trolls are hermaphroditic but i'd like to hear from someone who thinks they are.
