(Warning, this topic's discussion will be loaded with spoilers. If you're just starting out with Homestuck, don't go past the first post!)
Discussion Topic, where we talk about some hot, delicious smut.
Our Heroes:
John Egbert, Pesterchum nickname ectoBiologist. The main character of the story, and lover of terrible movies.
Rose Lalonde, Pesterchum nickname tentacleTherapist. A clever, sarcastic girl with a fascination for the eldritch and occult.
Dave Strider, Pesterchum nickname turntechGodhead. A cool dude among cool dudes and master of beats and rhymes.
Jade Harley, Pesterchum nickname gardenGnostic. A cheerful, optimistic gal with strange hunches and insights, as well as a narcolepsy problem.
Together, these four children embark on a grand adventure. While it has humble beginnings, it soon grows out of control into an epic struggle against mighty, fearsome foes, with several quirky allies joining in along the way. To discover how their story unfolds, follow the link below...
So I guess the main thing this update confirms is that this is indeed a new session and not another mobius double reacharound type twist where it was ACTUALLY THE SAME SESSION ALL ALONG.
Also, I guess this session is even more doomed than all the various shades of doomed we've seen so far. It's like Hussie keeps trying to one-up himself in session doomedness.
I had first laughed thinking that Dirk was just messing around by not know what Chess was as a means to further keep the embarrassment going, but I'm actually not sure if he's ever made reference to it. Considering his situation, it's entirely plausible that he was being entirely serious about never having heard of chess (either from growing up alone or the game just not existing in that universe) unless there is something that I'm overlooking. The whole "we don't have that here" for cotton candy was something I took seriously for the same reason, at least in that it's likely Dirk may not have heard of it even if it did exist in that universe. It doesn't really mean much either way. It's just an observation that I thought was interesting and just a little bit sad at the same time.

From: Ed Bellis | #020 I'm not sure how the chess thing is a reference to SBaHJ just because they had a strip about chess!
Also I thought cotton candy was a direct reference to the Roxy Maplehoof flash, where they show the words "cotton candy" when Roxy and Jane are ambiguously kissing. no that's obviously what the term cotton candy refers to, but when dirk says "my ****ty planet doesn't have it" he's alluding to:

Yeah the cotton candy thing is a shipping fan nickname and refers to the color of Jane and Roxy's text. Same with pumpkin patch for Jake and Dirk. Just Hussie giving his fans a nod as he often does.
Nah, both Jane and Jade are pretty boring as characters. They are pretty important/interesting from a plot perspective though, so that's why they're around.
John should also be boring but is amazing instead, for some reason.
Anyways, if anything, I'm more interested in uu/UU's game than anything else going on in Homestuck. There's just so many...what. Like, pretty much everything in that update interests me.
Also, random note. For some reason, I just can't imagine Rose/Roxy as blonde. I don't know why. I was like "Who's the blond-oh, right, Rose." Don't ask what I think Rose/Roxy's hair color is, I honestly don't know what I imagine her hair color is.

From: tereziWright | #031 Oh my. This may be the funniest thing I've seen all week. I thought it couldn't get better than it was, then it did. Much like Homestuck itself.
Also Jade hating wtf is wrong with you guys.

Something something something ^Poorly disguised anti-caps sig
Karkat made several more weapons after the Homes sickle, like the awesome Regisickle. But he probably didn't expect to fight anything in this bubble, and besides, he put his other sickles in chests which were promptly looted by someone else.
