Sanguine Condensation Appreciation Station

[qwerty]

Omg now that you guys mention it. I was watching food network (diners drivins and dives) and I happened to watch the next foodnetwork star commercial, and this lady with glasses exactly like aranea's and she looked exactly like her (except she had white hair instead of black)

[wrinklefudger]

Yeah, those I like, more specifically, in order: Rose and Kanaya, Terezi, Dave and Redglare.



I think that was because the cosplay was for Rose, not Roxy, but then it suddenly turned into that. I surely wouldn't make it into your headcanon with my teeth. Say hello to the rabbit!

I know that feel.

my teeth look like I have a british dentist who hates me

[genteelGunslinger]

I remember a roxy one I saw on memebase, let me look it up

found it: -WONK-

That is one hell of a cosplay. I must say.

[Doom Zero]

That was well photographed, and it wasn't a bad cosplay, but the hair doesn't have anything that I can match to the funky curly thing, doesn't stick out on the sides enough, and the teeth are too widely spaced to be my headcanon. Wow those teeth never stop unnerving me.

Most shallow guy.
The teeth, of all things.

The only thing I dislike about that picture is the lighting. A little too bright, in my opinion.
The person in that picture is rather good looking.
(I am like the opposite of Freack. Attracted to females and completely unable to give compliments or express concern. I am the most emotionally sound person here, for reals)

If there are cosplays of Roxy that are this... well done, perhaps there are some good cosplays of other characters. I will admit, I've seen a few Dirk cosplays while browsing tumblr. I eventually got tumblr savior and hid results containing cosplay or jake, though, so I haven't seen many lately. There should be some out there, but it's 1AM so I won't be the one looking for them.

Goodnight guys!

PS: I just realized the best way to express my opinion of that Roxy cosplay. In the words of the great Tobuscus: Hothothot-hothothothothot.

[RAK]

Wow uhhh... That thought had not occurred to me. Or really anybody.

I don't think that's particularly likely, though, because at the start of this flashback, we watched Jake drift off into unconsciousness. I don't think we could really be seeing a conversation between dream!Jake and anybody else really. It's probably Jake and Aranea or another A1 troll.

we did? huh, i must have missed that moment by being too engrossed in dialog.

[ImperatorMortis]

Man you're picky.

Why? Are British dentists worst than others? And it's not really a rabbit. Closer to a squirrel. I also have a weird tooth that...kind of almost on its side, somehow. I don't open my mouth often. At least I can do smug smiles without problems.

Its the panels before all the dialogue starts, when we see Jake unconscious at the bottom of the elevator in the ruins

There's a stereotype that the British have terrible teeth, maybe thats what wf was referencing?

[Karp]

So if HIC can use all these troll abilities now, she surely must have Equius' powers in her somewhere, right? (I'm only asking because I think a hulked out, sweaty Condy would be hysterical/terrifying.)

HIC and Rose probably hip-dueled to a stalemate while Dave watched in approval, so she was forced to resort to stabs in the end. How disappointing.

(When I did that origin generator thing everyone was doing a couple of pages ago, I got Sollux = dildo. I'm not sure what to make of this.)

[ArmsAreLoud]

Why? Are British dentists worst than others?

"The Brits all have shitty teeth" is a pretty common stereotype at least here in America.

AMERICA FACTS

[genteelGunslinger]

Wait a minute. Statue of Liberty... That was our planet!

I would like to think that Dave took the moment to reenact that exact moment, just for the irony in the statement. There is irony. Somewhere.

Oh, I now really want someone to make something from this

I don't think she needs Equius powers. Sea dwellers are supposed to be super strong.

Feferi pulled a damn whale for Christs sake.

it's a british stereotype. The British have bad teeth

[Morhek]

I look like goddamn Nigel THornberry.

Except without the red hair. Or sweet moustache.

So not at all like him.

[JordanTH]

There's also people that can identify musical notes as colors....I wonder if this is a thing that Terezi can do. Yes. This should tots be a thing.

One of my friends can do this actually, and he's an aspiring composer.

He's done some pretty cool stuff, like he wrote a song called "Symphony in Green" made entirely out of "green" sounds.

[umbralOverseer]

I imagine synesthesia makes making out a thousand times more fun.

Why is that even a priority on things that need to be made better?

Those cosplays look pretty cool. I can definitely see that one with Kanaya and Rose in particular.
I saw this awesome Dirk one once, can't remember where though.

[P_equals_NP]

Well I'm not saying they look bad I'm just saying they aren't what I imagine in my headcanon.

Secretly though I actually don't like people who don't have nice teeth. If I were going to make gimmick dating criteria IT WOULD BE THE NUMBER 2 PRIORITY RIGHT BEHIND LIKES GRAPH THEORY.)

I am additionally secretly attracted to a lot of females but it is one of the many things about me that I am TOO COOL TO ADMIT GIVEN CERTAIN CASES.

I think that was because the cosplay was for Rose, not Roxy, but then it suddenly turned into that. I surely wouldn't make it into your headcanon with my teeth. Say hello to the rabbit!

In that case it doesn't have the headband. WEE OOO *picky* And I guess my face headcanon is super extremely specific for Rose, having had a lot of time to distill and age like a nine wife or something.

It's not the teeth sizing that bother me though it's just the way I can see the gaps. It puts that picture in uncanny valley for me.

Man you're picky.

My headcanons are extremely specific once fleshed out. You wouldn't believe it.

[ImperatorMortis]

I look like goddamn Nigel THornberry.

Why do you say that like its a bad thing?

[PumpkinMan]

Dave's sword is broken. STRONGstab?

Wow, that's so cool! I'd actually like to meet someone that has this. Is the song famouse? I think I've hear of it before?

O-kaaaaay. I guess I'm pretty ignorant on stereotypes. Which is good, I guess.

Well, yeah, as I said, it turned into a Roxy cosplay rather than a Rose one.

I guess I don't really fit the bill. Buckteeth (okay, it's actually pretty small) and a space on each side of my front teeth. It's horrible. Which is why I'm planning to get it fixed as soon as I get some money.

[RAK]

ah, just refound it.

i suppose it is possible that this whole thing is a dream bubble, but i doubt it for some reason. i dont know, it seems that that would be something of a "cop out".

personally, i think it is weird time shit, or possibly a repercussion of the end of the battle on dirk's roof.

[Arista]

I don't think I technically have synesthesia, but since I was a kid, I've tasted some words and sounds ("gorgeous" tastes like lemon; the noise of keys on the keyboard being touched tastes kind of like Nerds candy; "truth" is like a bite of a Mr. Goodbar mixed with a gulp of regular Coca-Cola; stuff like that). I read a short story before, though, where the character tasted most words instead of just some. /tangent

About the cosplays linked to--Whoa! Earlier, on Youtube, I came across the perfect (to me) Dave and Jade, where they go to McDonald's. It was so incredibly adorable; the cos-players showed their personalities so well. Via that, I saw an awesome John as well (with buckteeth and all).

Re: Dave and Rose, I look forward to finding out more specifics.

[JordanTH]

Wow, that's so cool! I'd actually like to meet someone that has this. Is the song famouse? I think I've hear of it before?

Nah, probably not. He's currently at around the middle of high school.

I guess you MIGHT have heard some of his stuff on Youtube, though. Maybe. Unlikely, but possible.

That sounds awesome.

I alway imagine it would be terrible. Most people with the disorder have a very specific type, like seeing words or numbers as colors. The sound-to light thing would be the best, the rest would be useful in some cases, but if you had something for every sense, I imagine it would get unnerving or distracting.

quoting my own writing

"Although I have not have been able to judge such a thing personally in many years, I imagine someone unfamiliar with Esther Gates may have confounded by such a statement. Since before I had met her, Esther had a way of feeling sensations that were not quite there. That is not to say that they did not exist, but rather her mind found new ways to express stimuli in a way that was both magnificent and troublesome. Each ray of light begot a song in her head, and each sound begot a color. She heard each scent that graced her nose, and tasted chill and warmth that enveloped her. I would never have called such a thing madness, as she was far and away the most rational woman I had ever met, but to say her mind was unburdened by it would be an egregious error. As each sensation birthed a cascade of color and noise within her head, the very idea of focus had become a more valuable commodity to her than gold. We have come to refer to this noise in her head as the cacophony, though I can scarcely remember from whence that name came."
