![]() She and her cat are undergoing one of their therapy sessions, which says everything we need to know about her childhood. This one is locked on to Jaspers from nine years ago, back when Rose would have been about four. Rose and her new friend go back to examining gadgetry. She and the metal sentries are friends now. You just know what your grandmother is going to say about you spending so much time reading webcomics when you’re supposed to be working, right? We do tend to build up versions of people in our heads, especially people like parents and grandparents. The line “He was so much easier to deal with when he was alive” says a lot. I find Jade’s argument with her dead grandfather to be cute, understandable and tragic all at once. Just as the bass turned out to be Jade’s true instrument, someone else will be her true Guardian. Her strife(?) with Grandpa Harley calls back to the flute mini game, so we know it isn’t for real. Jade’s introduction has been less about breaking the established pattern so much as throwing a chink in it. She decides to sneak past instead but is foiled once again by her narcolepsy. Jade runs into a globe while trying to dart through the foyer. I notice that he has more trophies that could only come from an Sburb session, not to mention a rather curious fireplace. Jade has made it to the foyer where Grandpa Harley awaits. John in the interim is going about collecting that grist the crude ogres dropped, which means descending down into his father’s bedroom. ![]() Be the Rider.” Moments from fiery death, that’s all I’m saying.īut isn’t it always the way when you do something goofy, someone always turns up to see it. We also see more examples of Rose’s prominent silly side (as brought to us by reader commands I do not doubt) as she decides to “Wear the Scarf. I grudgingly admit that the wizard dolls are cute. The theory is that this is Mom’s room since later we will establish that her bedroom in the house has nothing but booze and a transportalizer in it. She finds a child’s tea set, scarf and bedroom, with wizard and cat dolls. Meanwhile, Rose is still wandering around Skaianet Laboratory even though it’s due to be unestablished in mere minutes. Computer explosions have a fairly large role to play in this story. This seems, once again, to link these devices to the people reading the comic, to us. Interestingly, in spite of the time bending powers we’ve witnessed, trying to access this monitor before the audience has seen Jade enter The Medium causes it to malfunction. PM recognizes the girl and tries to contact her. PM has a look at the monitor device in her little pod and we finally see the fourth screen. Considering what she’s already sacrificed and how much more she has to go through, that tear makes a lot of sense. PM is a defender of the light of knowledge, free communication and the exchange of ideas, all themes that are at the heart of this story. Like many things in Homestuck this is a joke, and yet not a joke. We establish two things about her quickly, one that she has a bar code on her wrist like WV, and second that mail is serious business. The Peregrine Mendicant on her journey through the skies. Of course he’s not above using cake on imps, any trick that works. We don’t see all of what Dad is capable of until a moment when we can feel justified in cheering him on. Notice that during his strife with John he never used his fists, just a cake. This reminds me of the Bugs Bunny principle, Bugs can be as mean as he wants so long as he doesn’t start the fight. He was humbly going about his business celebrating his son’s birthday and suddenly his house is ransacked and he’s dragged off by monsters to some mysterious fortress. ![]() If part of Hussie’s goal was to see how likable he could make a character with no eyes and no voice, this was a good way to go about it. This is a clever approach when you consider how strange the setting we’re dealing with is and how much we’re capable of taking in stride.ĭad is not taking to captivity. Everything’s been foreshadowed so we’re expecting something, even if we’re not entirely sure what. Whenever we see some new feature we’re intrigued and interested, but not baffled. I mentioned before about slow builds and how they give the audience awhile to adjust to new ideas, especially in early Homestuck. Our scene opens in a kingdom entrenched in darkness. I’m back in the saddle again, ready for adventure. Enough time has passed that I’ve absorbed it and can re-focus. I admit, every time I’ve got to I’ve automatically been clicking on the forum link to see what people are saying in the comics discussion instead of focusing on reading my allotted pages. ![]()
