Obvious things you missed 8: this isn't the most recent OTYM thread

I sort of figured they were just limp and look sort of like a cape?
(Also, this doesn't meet the three-days rule)

His full outfit has both the wings and that cape-thing: http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly...bkfo1_1280.jpg

This one was spotted by my girlfriend:

Nepeta never needed the sopor slime to avoid the horrible dreams because she was always awake on Derse, similarly to Dirk, as she is a player of Heart and their quest is that of the divided self.

[Redux]

That's never been stated in the comic if I recall correctly. If it is, sweet catch, if not then that makes for a cool IDE/Theory or a headcanon.

[Fayd]

Well, the Quest of the Divided Self thing is something that UU said is the quest of the Hero of Heart. I suppose this could manifest in a number of ways, but Dirk's is the most obvious.

Idk if music-related posts are allowed in here but I recently realized that the names of Iron Infidel and Iron Knight could be a reference not only to the gray color Karkat uses to hide his blood, but also to the fact that human blood is red due to its iron content.

I noticed the U being capitalised in coloUrs and mayhem was a reference to the way uranianUmbra types, but because I'm British totally failed to realise that the U being there *at all* was a reference until much later... not exactly a huge revelation, but it did make me feel a bit dumb.

So I'm guessing you didn't realize that its there because its from an actual quote?

UU: today yoU are poised to escape its scowl once and for all.
UU: by skaias gUiding light, yoU may leave behind its tUrning arms of bright coloUrs and mayhem, and secUre peace for yoUr cosmic progeny for all dUration.

I didn't notice until someone pointed it out in the discussion thread. I guess I'm just used to both the American and British conventions.

Vodka Mutini ~ Vodka Martini. If that similarity was missed by anyone, it's worthy of this thread.
Mutini ~ Mutiny. How did I not see that similarity until days after seeing the song title Vodka Mutiny? And how did I not notice that title wasn't Vodka Mutini during that span of time?

In [S] WV: Hasten to the exit post-haste! you can see the tips of the iron bars slowly cool as time passes.

So... that Tavros fella. He’s pretty much a nice guy. He isn’t very assertive, nor incredibly violent, so he fits into Alternian society not very well. So he’s kind of hopeless. But he also has this Don Quixote theme going on, with his head in the clouds, and a messed up love life.




Tavros is a hopeless romantic.

[Sporkaganza]

Wait a minute. I just realized that Gamzee being where he is right now explains why nobody on the meteor can find him!

Wow, it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure that one out.

[mysteriousOutsider]

Uh, not really. The most plausible explanation for his presence there is that he rode the meteor to the conclusion of its journey before traveling back in time.

[Hytheter]

I'm pretty sure he is actually on the meteor, he just travels back in time after the meteor arrives.
Him somehow finding a compeltely different way to the B2 session independent of the meteor makes far less sense imo.

[Sporkaganza]

Uh, not really. The most plausible explanation for his presence there is that he rode the meteor to the conclusion of its journey before traveling back in time.

Right, because the fact that they were asking where Gamzee was and wondering why they couldn't find him for a whole year, and then later he shows up somewhere he shouldn't be and where no one could find him, is just random unrelated coincidence.

Sure, man. Whatever you wanna believe.

This.

Actually reaching the session almost certainly requires him to be on the meteor.

[BRPXQZME]

Yes, an entire three...

two days :|

[Sporkaganza]

Yes, an entire three...

two days :|

shhhhhhhhhhhhh i still missed it okay

don't reveal the secret

[mysteriousOutsider]

you realise the meteor is like

super huge

and there are all kinds of crazy secret rooms and stuff

so

Yeah.

If you can come up with a single plausible explanation for how Gamzee gets from A2 to B2 without being on the meteor, I'd like to hear it.

edit: +what mO said. It's also vaguely implied that Karkat has seen him, though not explicitly confirmed.

[LeeWat]

Uh, not really. The most plausible explanation for his presence there is that he rode the meteor to the conclusion of its journey before traveling back in time.

If he had done that, then Vriska's and Tavro's bodies would be somewhat decomposed, I don't think entirely decomposed because three years is not really a long time, but still decomposed.

I think Gamzee went foward in time, when the meteor had already reached the new session. And then he went back in time to meet Jane.

[simon.clarkstone]

If you can come up with a single plausible explanation for how Gamzee gets from A2 to B2 without being on the meteor, I'd like to read it in the IDE/Theory thread.

FTFY. *cough*

Okay just gonna say
Regardless of what the tumblr lady says, there is a 0% chance that the coffee isn't partly made from troll blood.
And it's obvious he's draining them of blood and making them drinkable anyway.

I read about the unctuous film on TVTropes, went to the page, looked at the coffee, and felt my face go white. It was freaky.

[Catstorm]

Gamzee's Cod Tier costume has streamers down the back.


That's pretty awesome.

Ok, so tumblr says no, neither Kanaya nor Terezi, recognise it as blood, bad coffee does tend to develop an iridescent film, and (if Gamzee is to be believed) the only "potion" with any rejuvenating properties is fuchsia.
Yep, that coffee's obviously troll blood!

[Staff Deployment]

Why would they even bother with that detail otherwise?

It is literally the color of most of the dead troll's blood. You can't make the argument that that means nothing.
Also, Kanaya doesn't drink coffee. I'm pretty sure it's just Dave and Rose.
And we've seen Gamzee's behaviour - it backs this up. It's something he would do.
