[riskEviscerator]

Hi everybody! I’m riskEviscerator, which I guess is some kind of game theory pun. It will probably also be my trollian handle at some point, it’s inevitable. I’m 25, I’m from Joisy, and I make MMORPGs and play other people’s music for a living. I am an art-type and writing-type person and I also like to dance, though I’m not very good at it.
Now I will answer all these questions.

1) What is your favorite MS Paint Adventures moment?
[S] Cascade. Blew my mind.

I also love all of the little games. I love the combination of interactivity and storytelling.

2) Who is your favorite MS Paint Adventures character?
Right now Terezi, though I honestly haven’t met a character I didn’t like yet.

3) Favorite non-MSPA work of fiction?
Girl Genius is another webcomic I follow, plus XKCD, Bob the Angry Flower, and Scandinavia and the World.
I also like manga and books, way too many to name, primarily in the fantasy, sci-fi, and horror genres.

4) What music do you like?
EDM, Electro (+swing FTW), Prog, Dubstep, Psy/Trance, Folk, Metal, Medieval/Classical, Remix Artistry. I could go on almost forever but I won't. I like a lot of music.

5) What's your typing quirk?
I never learned to type properly, so I can only use my first two fingers. Is that a typing quirk??

I've tried, but I can’t give up using emoticons. ಠ_ಠ They’re too funny.

6) What is your favorite Homestuck album?

Alterniabound, though I’m digging what I’ve heard of Colors and Mayhem so this answer might change.

7) What is your favorite MSPA ship?
Kanaya/Rose, also recently I fell for Cotton Candy, but seriously, who hasn’t?

I also enjoy the Terezi/Dave/Karkat triangle of doom.

8 ) What is your favorite color?
White. It’s all of the colors but none of them. Spooky!

9) If you were a food, what kind of food would you be?
Probably a really bitter and spicy dark chocolate absinthe truffle.

They exist!

Hello everybody, Ben here. I'm just some English guy currently studying Computer Science in London. That means I will be able to talk in ones and zeros with a crazy British accent. Also tea and scones.

[riskEviscerator]

Is that a typing quirk?

[Milka]

Hello! My name is Milka and I live in Finland. Where I live, there is currently no people knowing HS, at least that I know, and that's why I wanted to register here to meet some people! Everyone seems quite nice! I really don't go to forums or anything, so I am kind of nervous, haha lame.
Okay so here was some questions so I am going ahead now...

1) What is your favorite MS Paint Adventures moment?
Well I enjoyed [S] Make her pay and [S] Cascade a lot! Also I loved the stuff the kids were doing before entering the Medium.

2) Who is your favorite MS Paint Adventures character?
That is kind of hard to answer since I love them all, but tbh I like Gamzee a lot. Kanaya is precious too.

3) Favorite non-MSPA work of fiction?
Poooonieeees!

4) What music do you like?
I am really bad at answering questions about music. Everything up beat is great though.

5) What's your typing quirk?
Don't have one currently.

6) What is your favorite Homestuck album?
Oh geez I'm starting to repeat myself, I like them all very much! Every album has so much unique music and variations.

7) What is your favorite MSPA ship?
God well... I am kind of nervous about telling my shippings, but I support Dirk and Jake, Kanaya and Rose, John and Vriska, Karkat and Terezi, Gamzee and Tavros and some other ones not red! Oh god forgive me.

8 ) What is your favorite color?
Blue! Purple is pretty too.

9) If you were a food, what kind of food would you be?
Wow um, uh, an apple? I like apples. :I

Haha ok I hope I didn't sound too lame, but I am happy to meet you all!

[baxbound]

Damn there's so many people coming from the Day Chat, at least one of you guys have to hate me. (clearlyJon, In0q, jon99977, Incon are all me)

I don't hate you. :B

*Marks One Off List*

-snipity snip-
Haha ok I hope I didn't sound too lame, but I am happy to meet you all!

Oh, hey! You were the one from the art thread!

Naw, yous not so lame. Yous good! :D

I'm just happy to meet more homestucks as well. 'Twill be a grand adventure, I am sure.

[longlost]

Hey all. I think this is my first post? Anyway, I'm currently smack in the middle of the giant life mistake some people refer to as "going to law school." I've been reading MSPA since sometime in 2008, though, back when Problem Sleuth was still in progress. I was pretty reluctant to read Homestuck at first, as I didn't think I would find it as appealing as PS was to me, but after going through all of it to date, I've come to see it as one of the most interesting and memorable works of fiction on the internet, both plot-wise and in presentation style.

1) What is your favorite MS Paint Adventures moment?
It's been too long since I've gone through Problem Sleuth to remember well enough. I have to pick a few here from Homestuck though. Act 4 is what got me hooked - The "Reunite with your loving wife and daughter" flash cemented my appreciation for the humor, and Descend did the same for my appreciation of the more dramatic moments. Fruity Rumpus Asshole Factory might be my favorite pesterlog page to date. Finally, I found the mini story arcs told through the scattered pictures to be very good; they gave some much needed attention to some of the goings-on and game lore that would have been hard to get to otherwise. I found the meeting of Jadesprite and Davesprite to be particularly memorable in that each thought they were completely alone, yet in all the chaos they managed to find one another.

2) Who is your favorite MS Paint Adventures character?
Tough choice. I might have to pick Dave though, for having consistently amazing lines in the chats.

3) Favorite non-MSPA work of fiction?
As a stand-alone work, I love the novel Catch-22. I also have a particular fondness for Cowboy Bebop.

4) What music do you like?
This has shifted around somewhat over the years, but I seem to have landed myself in a couple different genres. I like some of the more offbeat subgenres of metal (black, sludge, doom) and variants on those. I also listen to a lot of modern hardcore bands. As contentious as using the term may be, I listen to most anything "post," such as what some label post-metal, post-rock, post-hardcore, and the like. Lastly, I'm a fan of a few indie/singer-songwriter type bands, though these tend to be very hit-or-miss with me.

5) What's your typing quirk?
I think my often unconsciously serpentine sentence structure might have to do, here. Along with TACTICAL CAPS, of course. "Unnecessary" quotation marks are always "fun."

6) What is your favorite Homestuck album?
Volume 5 has a lot of my favorite HS songs on it, though it's pretty haphazard and inconsistent. There are more cohesive albums, but there's just so MUCH to 5 that I have to go with it.

7) What is your favorite MSPA ship?
Dave x Terezi. They're two of my favorite characters, and it's hard to go wrong with dance parties and crappy cartoons.

8 ) What is your favorite color?
Blue. I'm also a fan of forest green and crimson.

9) If you were a food, what kind of food would you be?
Donburi. I'm convinced that eating food over a bowl of rice is simply the best way to eat food.

[Kibbles]

going to give this a try~:
1) What is your favorite MS Paint Adventures moment?
hmmm my favorite moment would probably be "[S] Jade: Enter" i thought it was awesome!

2) Who is your favorite MS Paint Adventures character?
Uhh it's a really hard one... i really like them all in diffrent way... but might just pick jade, since she's adorable

3) Favorite non-MSPA work of fiction?
Steins;gate i think... i'm not really sure..

4) What music do you like?
I'm a fan of vocaloid and i listen to that, but i'm also a huge fan of Korean indie music which sounds amazing!!
else i can pretty much listen to anything...

5) What's your typing quirk?
none..


6) What is your favorite Homestuck album?
I like a lot of them... but i think album 8??

7) What is your favorite MSPA ship?
i don't really ship, and i do keep most of my ships to myself


8 ) What is your favorite color?
Blue~

9) If you were a food, what kind of food would you be?
a muffin... idk...

Well hi, I'm kibbles.. I got into MSPA comics during january, due to some friends telling me to read homestuck... i quickly got addicted to the unique way of story telling, and suddenly i could not stop..
else, i'm a 16 year old boy, who lives in Denmark but i AM moving to Japan this summer for studying..
My hobbies would be to hang out with friends,vocaloid, weeaboo stuff... and homestuck..
also i /THINK/ i'm homosexual... but i myself do feel it's a very young age for me to decide a sexuality, so i'll see what time brings me..
I'm really bad at introducing myself..
else... i'm also half Korean.. and i speak limited Korean and Japanese...

[TactlessC]

Hello everyone I'm TC and I just joined because I have this thing that makes me want to do things that I will never accomplish! HURRAY! I guess I'll fill out this questionnaire thingy everyone has been posting? Sure. Why not. Let's do it.

1) What is your favorite MS Paint Adventures moment?
Be the Rider. Any of them. Even the ones that aren't actually a thing.

2) Who is your favorite MS Paint Adventures character?
Terezi because Terezi.

3) Favorite non-MSPA work of fiction?
Kamen Rider. I am especially fond of W, Kabuto, Kuuga, and Faiz
But not Den-O. Den-O can go the fuck away.

4) What music do you like?
I don't so much like genres as much as I do just specific songs. But if I had to pick one? ... Alternative Rock.

5) What's your typing quirk?
B grade grammar and easily pissed so I will THROW MYSELF INTO TYPING IN CAPS TO POINT OUT WHY YOU ARE WRONG WHEN WE ARGUE OR TO EMPHASIZE A POINT TO THE UMPTEENTH POWER. Because that's how typing works right? Also if you prove me wrong I spiral into beating myself up. Also I make the most ridiculous combo swears.
So ... Sollux + Jake? I don't fuckin' know.

6) What is your favorite Homestuck album?
You can have a favorie?


7) What is your favorite MSPA ship?
Terezi/Nepeta/Karkat.
...Don't judge me.
Actually I just like OT3s in general, screw this dumb pairing system FIGHT THE POWER!

8 ) What is your favorite color?
Redurple

9) If you were a food, what kind of food would you be?
Grilled cheese sandwich.

[RAK]

hello. due to community overlap, i am sure a few of you may recognize me. if so, hi again.

first, a bit about myself. as some of you may or may not know, i am and have been a juggalo for some time. getting closer to the better part of two decades in fact. i am more than likely not what you would expect from a juggalo. aside from this blurb and where it is relevant to the conversation, i feel no need to bring it up. i do not feel the need to dumb down my typing and pepper it with acronyms. knowing how something works does not take the magic from my miracles. i abhor ignorance and strive to drive others on a self propelled mission to gather as much knowledge as possible, much as i myself strive to do.

those of you who know me would likely say, "RAK hates everything." this is primarily true. i have a strict set of standards anything must pass before i like it. not literally, but my standards are "impossibly high." that said, i like homestuck. a lot. it brings originality, is builds its own memes, it makes me think and speculate.

furthermore, it has sparked minor self discovery. homestuck has caused me to realize that i am an internet troll. i had fooled myself for years and years (again, now approaching two decades) that i was just a "normal" user. now i see all of my copious posts scattered eclectically throughout the internet really were. i was trolling the entire time. wow. huh. what a twist. a real shocker. having discovered and accepted this, i find my time on the internet is much more relaxing than it used to be.

i make videos on youtube. 99% of what i have uploaded is an "art form" called "youtube poop". you might have heard of it. i actually pioneered a lot of things in this area. it's really something i rarely honk my own horn about, but as this is an introduction, i'll just put it on the table and leave it there.

that's really all i can think of. i guess i'm off to pretty up my profile so i dont look like such a one post wonder.

[dreamingKitty]

yeeello! my name is pencey. i live in the UK at the moment. just moved 'ere. ffsh. i used to live in the US though. nobody i know irl likes homestuck so sigh

1) What is your favorite MS Paint Adventures moment?
hm... [S] Jane: Cautiously approach and [S] Seer: Descend. i love a lot of them though!

2) Who is your favorite MS Paint Adventures character?

ahh don't make me choose! but if i have to, it would either be vriska or kanaya. all of the derse kids!

3) Favorite non-MSPA work of fiction?
harry potter u v u

4) What music do you like?
i really love fall out boy sigh

5) What's your typing quirk?
i never capitalize and i use british spellings

6) What is your favorite Homestuck album?
colours and mayhem: universe B

7) What is your favorite MSPA ship?
ahhh either kanayarose or dirkroxy

8 ) What is your favorite color?
NEON GREEN! woo for blinding colours.

9) If you were a food, what kind of food would you be?
man, i'd be macaroni and cheese. they be swaggin

[PrincessOfSwords]

Oh wow, yeah. There's totally an introduction thread. I maybe should introduce myself, but answering questions sounds like work.

I guess I'll say a few things.

My favorite characters are Rose, Dirk and Kanaya. I like snarky, intelligent people.

I ship some things, but don't get very worked up about them, and my ships can change sometimes. I pretty much go with the flow of things on that matter.

Purple is my favorite color.

And this isn't a question, but I really like tarot and could totally talk your ear off about it if you let me.

[Duskye]

Hi, I'm Duskye, I've been looking at this forum and have "ghosting" this forum for awhile now and finally decided to join, for my love of Homestuck.

I hope you all enjoy my presence here

[Icerama108]

Hi, I'm Icerama, I have never been on any forums before so I'm not really sure where to go, but those introductory questions seemed nice and convenient, so I'm going to give it a go.

1) What is your favorite MS Paint Adventures moment?
My favourite MSPA moment(s) would have to be the introductory scenes to the Kids Planets. I love the music choices (and just the music in general), the way they are presented, and the creativeness behind the planets concepts, and themes.

2) Who is your favorite MS Paint Adventures character?
My favourite MSPA character would be Rose, I found her much more interesting than John and she was pretty much the only reason I kept reading past Act 1. She was competence where John failed, she understood the game better, she understood her Sylladex better, she was much better fighter, and was over all more effective than John (also she was associated with Water which is my favourite Classical element.)

3) Favorite non-MSPA work of fiction?
My most favourite non MSPA work of fiction would be Mirror's Edge, or Paper Towns (by John Green). I believe Mirror's Edge was severely underrated in terms of it's story which I think had a lot of potential but just wasn't told very well. However, as for Paper Towns, it is just an amazing, and engaging book about a boy going on a search for the girl he has a crush on.

4) What music do you like?
I listen to all kinds of music, but I mostly prefer alternative music.

5) What's your typing quirk?
My friends have decided that my typing quirk is that after 10:30pm I sort of give up on typing properly, and am only ab;le to trype with one hand because i am laying on my other onr.

6) What is your favorite Homestuck album?
My favourite Homestuck album is Medium, not only are the songs good, you can also play the respective plant pairings to make a really interesting song.

7) What is your favorite MSPA ship?
I'm not really into the whole shipping crowd, so I mainly just support ships that are canon in the story, or would at least make sense.


8 ) What is your favorite color?
My favourite colour is orange, but I also like blue.

9) If you were a food, what kind of food would you be?
I would be pizza because pizza is the best, and not the greasy kind either, I would be a good, fresh home-made pizza. Yum. :P

[Psykotika]

Iiii... believe I shall take my first step into this steaming virtual morass of shenanigan-ry and monkey business. T'will begin with a questionnaire of questionable constitution...

ok yeah, gonna stop doing that now. Don't worry I don't normally sound like a thesaurus imbued with sentience and gone horribly wrong, only on fridays, wednesdays and sunday afternoons if it's rained after raining the day before, and I've heard but not seen it.

1) What is your favorite MS Paint Adventures moment?
This. Just this. also I was pretty much on the floor at this point


2) Who is your favorite MS Paint Adventures character?
Well they all have their moments, but I'm gonna have to go with Karkat XD

3) Favorite non-MSPA work of fiction?
Hmm, I follow a lot of webcomics and I read a lot of books, so to pick just one is gonna be hella hard, I love anything with a cohesive storyline and engaging narrative really (and some things that aren't as cohesive - ie. Homestuck XD)

4) What music do you like?
I like a lot of music, and can stand listening to a lot more, but metal/rock has to be my favorite genre I guess. I cannot abide jazz in the least :P

5) What's your typing quirk?
Well you see, it doesn't usually show up, but when I start geddin' trired or hypurr i stup capsule-izing n wridin' oot werds prepurrleh n stert misplelling or fohnehtikly typin oot werds... weeth a sumteims kanadia acsent (whatchu talkin aboot?)

6) What is your favorite Homestuck album?
...did not know there existed actual real albums... must investigate!

7) What is your favorite MSPA ship?
...I'm going to be keelhauled, I just know it... hurr... fein, if you must know... John/Karkat either works

8 ) What is your favorite color?
I like ALL THE COLOURS, but prolly green is my fav

9) If you were a food, what kind of food would you be?
3am-I-am-so-freaking-drunk-what-is-this-I-don't-even-know-but-I'm-too-hungry-to-care-or-mind type food, like microwaved jellybean/honey/brownsugar paste on saltines or marshmallows melted over buttered popcorn, or french fries drowned in ice cream, or cracker peanutbutter jellybean potato chip sandwiches, y'know, the things that sounded like a good idea when it was 3am and wtf were you thinking

(fun fact, I've tried all but the first, but as soon as I get some jellybeans and saltines.... )

[vortexTechie]

Lurker: I don't want to go! =(

Lurker: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

vortexTechie: Legs, I've still got legs, good. Arms, hands, ooh, fingers, lots of fingers. Ears, yes, eyes too. Nose, I've had worse. Chin, blimey. Hair... I'm a girl! No, no! I'm not a girl. I'm still not ginger. There's something else, there's something important. I'm, I'm, I'm... Ha! Crashing! Haha! woohoohoo! Ah! Geronimo!
[/RP]

So, I'm vortexTechie, I like Homestuck and Doctor Who (YOU DON'T SAY?), I might have a very minor case of........ serious insanity.
I was going to answer the defualt questions here, but, yeah.... bored. I get bored quite easily.

Musically seen I like a bit more heavier stuff, like Metal, Rock and Punk.
My favorite colors are Infrared and Ultraviolet. Because I can.
My typing quirk is a bit hard to describe, because I change it every now and then (and I don't use it on forums), but currently I replace certain letters with Mathematical symbols.

Blast. I ended up answering almost all the questions anyway XP

Also, my favorite class in Sburb would be 'Lord of Time'. (Screw Knights. I'mma make this a Doctor Who reference)


vortexTechie, signing off!
TRANSMISSION ENDED

[Drudge]

Hi. I only just joined this forum like 10 minutes ago, and I guess I'll do the logical thing and make my first post in the introduction thread. I'm Drudge, and I've only just yesterday finished reading all the Homestuck pages that exist to date. I'm pretty amazed by the whole thing and obviously I felt the need to join the forums, which I proceeded to do in a calm and orderly fashion.

I'm a musician (bassist) and song writer from Sweden. I also like reading, writing and roleplaying, and faithfully read a large number of webcomics.

As I've said, over the past couple weeks or so I've been reading through the Homestuck archives, and now that I've caught up I'm planning on reading Problem Sleuth too. My favorite Homestuck character, I guess, would be a tie between Karkat and Dave for their consistently amazing lines. My favorite moment, no contest, was when Karkat and Gamzee became moirails. I was in stitches over all that shooshing and papping. I also loved the Midnight Crew intermission and how it unexpectedly wove into the main story.
