    you literally just called it "fatal live action role playing" and then wondered what the F in FLARP stood for. boi.

    I'm getting Vietnam flashbacks of highschool where I tried to make friends with as many Homestucks in my area as I possibly could. The result: I got stuck with the most retarded friend group I've ever had and subsequently abandoned them all. You're one of the lucky ones, Tad, for not getting involved in the fandom IRL

    Did you hate Rezi before she fucked the clown? Maybe I'm biased, but I fucking loved her early on, particularly her interactions with Dave. After Roxy she was best girl until she fucked the clown, imo.

  • @simon4136
    @simon4136 7 років тому +15

    LE is not a standard part of sburb, he's just a demon that shows up at the end of a universe where one of scratch's cue ball "seeds" has been sent. The standard post-session protocol is having the exiles rebuild society until it reinvents/discovers sburb and the whole thing can happen again.
    (at least that's how I remember it, I can't seem to find where that's explained though, or if it even was)

    • @TastelessHat
      @TastelessHat 7 років тому +3

      That was the implied explanation until Caliborn's backstory ruined it all

    • @simon4136
      @simon4136 7 років тому +4

      jalop942 I think it can still work, caliborn & co being trapped in lil cal doesn't have to change anything about the rest of it, does it? It just explains how english originated and came to be lying dormant in scratch (the necessity of such an explanation being...debatable, at best). The thing with the seeds still stands.

    • @TastelessHat
      @TastelessHat 7 років тому +2

      It never shows how he would spread around those seeds and makes his entire motivation focused on killing his sister.

    • @simon4136
      @simon4136 7 років тому +2

      jalop942 Well lil cal was left hidden in the outer ring, which can by accessed by other universes (this is how kanaya was able to read rose's walkthrough) so for each universe LE appears in, someone needs to get a ghost imprint of lil cal and ectobiologize(?!?) him with a cue ball, which LE can retroactively facilitate once he gets there.
      As for the motivation... he never should have had one. He was already cool as an inherently destructive force of nature...we did NOT need an "explanation" where it suddenly turns out that was because 1/4 of him was trying to kill his ALREADY DEAD sister.

    He wwalks on out of there. I deeply appreciate that you did his quirk. I also joined during murderstuck. I love this series and I really hope you finish it!
    I mean, I love all the shit you do. I hopped on during the Neopets episode and I even read Monster Musume after Tanktopfriend's episode.
    Please keep doing what you're doing because it is awesome.

    I've never touched Homestuck, but I know if I came across it during my late middle school/early high school time, I would've gotten into hardcore. Hearing about internet history in this way is incredibly interesting, and I hope you guys keep making content like this!

    Everything you said about Terezi, Dave and god tier is wrong. You completely messed the chronology.
    56:30 The mansion was on the moon of Alternia, but when the tumor exploded, it kind of "took" both the universes, and turned them into the green sun. So after the explosion the mansion was inside the green sun.
    57:00 All the things make perfect sense, it just that you didn't understand the story at all (and the way you explain it is even worse). The code that Karkat activated is not the code that summons English, and neither of them is part of the game or meant to clean anything.
    59:45 You didn't explain how the comic WORKED at all. You just retold a lot of plot points that spoiled the comic.
