Multisentence Comic Hiatus Extravaganza

[bloodyEmissary]

Karkat isn't actually angry all the time, IMO--he just speaks in this irritated monotone that makes his voice carry a lot, without actually being particularly angry.
All bluster and bark, with very little real anger.

[P_equals_NP]

Okay I guess I don't think he's angry all the time or even most of the time. Just a lot more frequently than other people.

To what?

(it just updated to 16600, and now with this it'll be one more but whatever.)

gogogo!

Once you pass that milestone, your next challenge will be to catch LE.


E: more than half the members of this forum have no posts. I've never understood the point of registering if you aren't going to post anything.

(I just noticed LE's join date is before the forums (and internet as we know it (yay for nested brackets!)) existed.)

the point is that you can subscribe to visionary threads like these

also I thought that flip proved that Karkat's caps WERE angry caps
because he's pretty chill without them

I think it's a combination of spam bots and people who want to use the subscription feature (mostly spam bots though).

Also I definitely enjoy how given LE's ridiculous join date at epoch time, it actually gives him a reasonable post rate. Maybe I'll catch up to him a couple decades.

(I already bribed him to work for me with dino powers and big boobs though.)

Huh. And...uh, mind you, where and how did you acquire those boobs? Are they actually connected to something or someone? Also, Lord English's join date is not epoch time, just so you know. 1969 isn't epoch time.

Postcount is how choice an ass you have, right?

Boobs is PPD?

[xqz]

I find Viral's voice from TTGL fits Karkat pretty well; he pretty much sounds slightly pissed off at all times, even when he's happy.

(I already bribed him to work for me with dino powers and big boobs though.)

There is nothing more to say. This sentence is perfect in every way.

[Doom Zero]

Seer and Mage? Hm.
I kind of like the idea that classes in a pair have the same gender alignment, because I guess I think if different classes are "designed" for different genders, the passive/active version would come out working mostly the same for genders? I dunno.
If I assume for the moment that they don't, though, and furthermore assume Heir/Page and Seer/Mage, I guess I'd have to go with sylph/witch and knight/maid for the last pairs? Going by "sylph is like witch but more magical," and Dave and Aradia doing really really similar things, except of course Dave ends up doing a lot more stabbing. I'd say of those Knight and Witch are probably the active ones?

They do similar things because they both have the same aspect. I doubt you could draw similarities between them if they had different aspects. Compare Dave and Jane, see how well that works.

Also, it's not necessarily what they do with their aspect, but rather why they use it.
Consider the following: BILL BILL BILL BILL BILL Dave was a knight of time, and he used his abilities to preserve the timeline and his friends. He used his abilities to protect people... Mostly.
Aradia was a Maid of Time. She alluded to serving a "master". Sorta like a maid does, sometimes. The implication there was that her actions were essentially to set up events in such a way that they would occur according to plan. In such a way that a maid often does.

AA: alpha dave still has a long way to go
AA: hes still not at ease with his mortality
AA: but people like us have to be!
AA: we have to be prepared to die a thousand deaths before our quest is complete
AA: the master we serve demands it

On this page

Yeah. I don't agree with pairing maids and knights. Doesn't really seem like they are all that connected.

As for why I like Seer/Mage, well... Sollux was given insight into the future of the inevitably deceased. (paraphrased.) His class was Mage and his aspect was Doom. Of all of the psychic powers of the Trolls, that has to be the most title-relevant ability yet. I won't give examples of how Terezi used her abilities as a Seer, though. We are all very well aware of how she acted as a Seer.
Terezi chose to share the insight she (willingly) gained with her teammates, whilst Sollux kept all of the information he (unwillingly) gained from the voices to himself. I mean, he probably didn't hear anything useful, but that's not the point here.

Honestly, what else could you connect Mage to, given what we know about Sollux? Really.

[recalcitrantIre]

Unix (epoch) time, midnight UTC, 1 Janaury 1970. It says 1969 for you since you're in a timezone behind UTC (GMT)

and do you not know about the postcount = boobs thing? For shame. You really need to bone up on your comdisc history

[Freack]

Karkat is angry, but not frothing-at-the mouth.

What was scary is the fct that Dave is actually constantly losing his cool, at very low volume.

But uu is going to be...

It is to easy to say that he will be mostly a quiet Karkat. I like to imagine him as truly apathetic, but playing up anger. Then again, his most important trait is a love of horse porn.

I see. Well, since I use Windows anyway, epoch time for me is 1 January 1900. But I guess it make sense since I'm in GMT.

Also, ironically enough, my post count has nothing to do with my boobs. Seriously. I'm flat-chested.

You're right, it's like 1969 for me, but I think that was the point with the date.

They are connected to a riddle within a puzzle within an enigma.

Postcount is how choice an ass you have, right?

Boobs is PPD?

No it's the other way.

[User 18]

So uu is Equius?

This means that UU is Nepeta (because shipping and bro/sis relationship ).

I can see this.

No it's the other way.

Ah. Thanks.

And I think that is the point with LE. He was here before time itself.

Wait how does Canada = Greenwich Meridian? Unless you've recently relocated, or misinterpreted GMT?

and being flat-chested isn't too bad, you wouldn't get back problems I guess, unless you have bad posture like me

I'm not trying to invalidate your theory about the Mage/Seer combo, but do you really want to hear that you're going to die from one guy several times? If it is visions, then it's the kind that sharing with his teammates would be rather counterproductive. That would also seem like a rather terrible burden, being stuck with visions of your demise that is unwise/you are unable to share. It can't be just as simple as the Seer counterpart can't share their visions.

I'm still holding onto Mage= Channel for Aspect/Servant of Aspect. It didn't necessarily have to be visions from Seer style powers. It could have just been the physical manifestation of how a Mage of Doom would act. But that leads us back to how would any other kind of Mage act.

I swear if we go back to the Ancestors, I better see a Mage of Hope or Void so I can get some better answers.

[Stormspirit]

Maybe. I know that my time settings are GMT -5.

And I have absolutely no problem with being flat. Besides, I'm sixteen. I don't even know what can happen at that point.

I thought it was January 1, 1601?

Apparently it's different depending on your settings. Huh. The more you know.

[Doom Zero]

Yeah, I know, but when you watch one part of it as if it was completely separate, you can see that it doesn't interact with some of the others. And a massive overload of blue balls mean no sex for guys. Thanks god.

You probably mean to say "thank god"
But looking at it from a male perspective... "thanks, god" is much more accurate in my opinion.

Well, I can't really argue with the second half of your post, aside from saying that it's wrong because I have a better idea. And that's hardly an argument at all. The only thing I can really say about it is that you have less evidence than I do to support that theory.

As for the first half... I am aware of the uselessness of his "protips from the future". That's not Sollux's fault, though. Sometimes, you just get screwed over. We wouldn't have a clue what Heirs do, if we only had Equius to judge it on. Same goes for Nepeta. Without the comparison to Thief, we wouldn't have any idea what Rogues do.

The point is that we didn't see enough of Sollux demonstrating his doom-related abilities. Perhaps he found a way to use them in a good way. Perhaps not. In the end, my idea still incorporates the only doom-related thing that Sollux has had.

I think Stormspirit meant that she was using the GMT system. Which is... sorta the same as virtually every timezone system. Hmm.

[Tirgo]

a good half of the time, karkat is too concerned with the well-being of his friends to be angry

[P_equals_NP]

I don't see how the two are mutually exclusive.


NO YOU IDIOTS DO YOU WANT TO DIE!???? DO YOU LITERALLY WANT TO DIE HOW CAN YOU BE THIS STUPID.

Argh, I knew I would mix it up. I always do. And look at it from your male perspective. I will continue watching it from mine. And laughing.

[Tirgo]

yes, stormspirit is amused when men are unable to have sex. this also amuses me so.

GMT -5 is the same as EST/EDT, depending on the time of year.

I can't go back beyond 1980 using Win 7 or Win 8 preview.

Yes. But he's pretty much inherently angry because he always screws himself up/over.
