Hiatus Calmitude

[wolftamer9]

POSTING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN WEEKS!

Hussie's going to delay the update for as long as he can, so as to squeeze every last tear out of the fandom.

IDE: MSPA was created as a front to harness the tears of thousands, or even millions at a time.
The reason for this would be because Hussie needs the tears to fuel his unending need to create and kill off characters.

I actually have this theory that Homestuck exists because of the Infinite Improbability Drive from The Hitchhiker's Guide. Think about it. Homestuck as a whole is incredibly improbable. Hussie has described a lot of it as serendipitous, and it practically happened on its own. On top of that it's heavily influenced by outside sources like the reader suggestions from early on. I bet 413, 314, 612, 1025 and 111111 were numbers that were plugged into the drive, and that's one of the reasons why they show up so often.

That is definitely not a Sylph outfit.

It's clearly the Waste of Space outfit.

Welp okay I have certainly learned my lesson
which is to never use the word 'indisputably' ever again because people will take it as a challenge

Well isn't that ironic. Anyway I think it's pretty unlikely that Gamzee hasn't been a god tier this whole time. I doubt his powers would be as extensive as they are if he wasn't a god tier.

Ok, this is my thousandth post, and that means it's time for my SPECULARNAODMAGANZA! Below the next spoiler, you will see details on my original comic book series Para, which I have been planning for a few years now, and is one of my ultimate goals after I go to art school.

WARNING- long spoiler ahead!

Para is a series about Tara "Para" Leonard, a teenage girl who dreams of becoming a paranormal detective. Just as things are going badly for her, she meets a 6-year-old boy named Norm, who just so happens to be a much-older alien who's stranded on earth in the body of a small child as a result of two escaped convicts stowing away on a spaceship, and Norm being the less (read: not at all) guilty and violently sociopathic of the two. Para and Norm start a paranormal detective agency, and that's when things get weird (almost predictably so, seeing as they're paranormal detectives.) They find themselves facing Alien serial killers, man-made sewer monsters, and even ghoooosts as they search for the world's hidden truths and recruit new members and allies. Oh, and at some point Para's parents adopt Norm, so that's a thing too.

Here's a list of all of the main characters. I spent like 2 weeks preparing these pictures by the way.

Heroes:

hide spoiler

Name: Tara "Para" Leonard
Age: 16
Personality: Like most heroes, Para is very stubborn and resolute and protective of her friends, especially and particularly Norm.
Bio: Para had been able to see ghosts for years, and when she was ten she was diagnosed with Schizophrenia. She was in therapy and put in a special school until age sixteen, when she had to leave both for money reasons. For years she had been obsessed with all things paranormal, and she was going to start a paranormal detective agency with a man named Ron until he backed out. When she was finally ready to give up, she met Norm, and finally started her paranormal detective agency with him. Besides seeing ghosts, other strange phenomena surrounding Para have occurred, namely that when she is in immediate and sudden mortal danger she grows a beetle horn and wings and obtains a large scythe which may be able to consume souls, and she becomes extremely strong and quick as to escape the danger. The only thing known about this is that she seems to have an abnormal soul.


Name: Norm Leonard
Age: 6
Personality: Norm is strangely moral and compassionate, and he likes to help people and do the right thing, even if it means risking his own life. That said, knowing the situations he's been in, he's started to reconsider his outlook on life and tries to relax a little and live for himself and his friends.
Bio: On his home planet, Norm was a very talented computer programmer working on the project to create a device that turns aliens into humans. His people wanted to start an interplanetary relationship with Earth, but with no way to communicate they had chosen to send a group there and turn them to humans so they could learn the humans race's ways. Unfortunately Norm witnessed a murder, and after a failed attempt by the culprit to plant false evidence, they were both convicted. They escaped and stowed away on the spaceship to Earth, and the real criminal killed everyone on the ship and sent Norm down to Earth as a newborn baby. Norm spent the next six years in an orphanage researching everything he could about Earth from the dictionary and encyclopedia, until he met Para and they started their detective agency together. Shortly after, he became Para's adoptive brother. Norm's body, including brain and nervous system, are a hybrid of human and alien, which means that he requires a massive intake of certain metals. Because of this, he can grow a long, green alien tongue that can crush and dissolve metals. His arms can also expand to a larger size in case he needs to work with large tools and technology. He's missing the device that can turn him back to his original form though, so he is stuck as a human.


Name: Elie Vyle
Age: 15
Personality: Elie is a puzzling character. Based on things that have happened to him, he should be pretty glum, yet he remains disturbingly optimistic and cheerful. He is extremely loyal to his friends both old and new, and is also quite reckless.
Bio: Elie is the prodigious son of a famous inventor, and an accomplished inventor himself. With his mother gone he's almost always been unsupervised, and he's spent most of his life getting into trouble, building dangerous new inventions, and, of course, getting himself physically wounded. At the age of nine or so he made friends with two other children that, like him, were in the hospital after serious accidents. One of these friends had a real-life experience with aliens that landed him in the hospital in the first place, and years later when they discovered Norm, this friend set up an elaborate scheme to kidnap and execute him. It was almost too late when Elie discovered how dangerously paranoid and insane his best friend was, and he ended up helping Para to save Norm. After that he joined the detective agency as the resident inventor and technology expert, where he could put his talents to good use. Elie wears large contacts to cover his real eyes, which have yellow irises and black sclera. It isn't known why his eyes are like this, but there's a strong possibility that they give him hypnotic powers.


Name: Thomas "The Doctor" Hyde
Age: 16 (18 when introduced)
Personality: Tom is a very serious person, and remains level-headed and on-task in most situations. He is extremely protective of his older sister, and puts a tremendous effort making sure she's safe and doesn't hurt anybody.
Bio: Tom started life in a dangerous and poor neighborhood with his sister Gilda, with nothing particularly eventful happening to either of them. When he was ten and she was twelve, Gilda discovered she had a gift- the ability to steal people's souls, alive or dead, and take their innermost knowledge. This "knowledge," usually someone's deepest views, emotions, and philosophies, granted her strange supernatural powers which would increase and and become more expansive with every consumed soul, in a process known as "The Endgame." She shared her gift with Tom, and they started collecting souls, usually from the local morgue, and learning all they could about the supernatural sciences. Tom tried to develop an Endgame technique to share knowledge and possibly transplant souls, but it failed when he tested it on Gilda and her soul was fractured, driving her completely insane. From then on, Tom did all he could to protect his sister and keep a living. Tom started working as an uncertified "Doctor," using his supernatural talents and moderate medical knowledge to help the people in poor neighborhoods, which sometimes involved major surgery or unconventional practices, and at times ended in death. Nevertheless, Tom is a skilled Doctor and fighter, and most of his supernatural abilities involve chemicals or the human body. His favored weapon happens to be his scalpel. The Doctor and his sister joined Para's detective agency to help as supernatural experts when someone started trying to steal Para's soul.
(Note- Not shown in the picture: The Doctor's cigarette. He usually has one.)


Name: Gilda Hyde
Age: 18 (20 when introduced)
Personality: Gilda used to be a caring and responsible sister to Tom, but after the accident she went completely insane. She is completely attached to her brother and is prone to violence and potentially even murder when he's not there to control her. Her behavior can range from calm to violent to to paranoid.
Bio: For history, see above (Tom's Bio). Gilda's original Endgame gift is attributed to the fact that she consumed her twin in the womb giving her an abnormal soul. Her Endgame abilities specialize in manipulating plants, and she actually keeps the pumpkin on her head alive by feeding it her own life energy. On that topic, one of many ways to set her off is to take the pumpkin off of her head. Long ago she turned her fingers into claws, so she always keeps gloves over her hands for safety. But when the gloves come off, she is extremely dangerous.


Name: Jack "Jack the Ripper" the Ripper
Age: ??? (??? when introduced)
Personality: Jack seems reckless and volatile, but he's actually very wise and calculating. He can be a bit whimsical at times, and his curiosity is actually what got him to assist Para and Co. when looking for the person trying to steal her soul.
Bio: Not too much is known about Jack the Ripper, but a few things are true: He really is the famous British serial killer, he's half-demon, and he's gotten quite far in the Endgame, at around a few hundred souls. His famous murders were for the purpose of gaining souls, and he had to go into hiding and come to America after he got too famous. His goal is to "complete" the Endgame. It's said that once someone collects one thousand souls, their knowledge will be complete and they become the omnipotent master of all life. The Doctor and Gilda also aim for this goal, but due to Jack's extended lifespan, he has a much better chance of achieving it. Still, having been trying trying to keep a pace that wouldn't drive him insane and avoiding using dangerous, taboo Endgame techniques, Jack has taken over a hundred years to get as far as he's gotten. He has a wide range of supernatural abilities, possibly the most dangerous of which being his hereditary demonic Hellfire, capable of burning anything it touches. His left hand has been replaced with a large set of knives that also function as fingers. He also has a leather band covering his eyes at all times, and he uses other means of sight instead of his eyes. Jack allied with Para's group to try to find the person trying to steal her soul, and possibly the secret behind her soul as well. He sometimes helps her with other cases. Para and her friends don't trust Jack, as there's always a chance that he could lose interest in them and turn on them at any point.

Villains:

Name: Abner
Age: 6
Personality: Abner is a total sociopath. He is obsessed with building weapons, and rationalizes everything he's done, to the point that he considers what he did to Norm a kindness.
Bio: Abner is the reason Norm is stranded on Earth. He was the lead geneticist on the human metamorphosis project, but, being an incredibly talented genius, he wasn't satisfied with the job. He started designing weapons using project resources, and when others found out, he killed them without a second thought. Norm found out though, so Abner tried to frame him. The investigation resulted in the conclusion that he and Norm committed the crime together, so they were convicted together. He escaped and dragged Norm with him, and they stowed away on the spaceship to Earth. Just before their arrival, Abner killed everyone on the ship but Norm, and when Norm threatened to stop him and turn him in at any cost, Abner attached a metamorphosis device to Norm, turning him into a human baby, and then dropped him to Earth. Abner then spent the next six years of his life either posing as a human child or reverting to his alien form to build elaborate weaponry, giant robots, and so on. When Para and Norm tried to find out if there were any survivors of the incident on the spaceship or any other aliens had come to Earth, he decided to kill them so they wouldn't give his location away to their home planet. Abner has a large amount of weaponry which includes a giant robot, and a robotic eye. He also modified the metamorphosis device to be able to turn him into a thirty-foot-tall monster from his home planet.

Also, how dead is dead enough? Can someone ever truly be dead enough?

The only way to truly kill a fictional character is to purge them from your site. Ever hear about Homeschool Winner?

...exactly.

That's because it IS a challenge

Of course the codpiece is hand-stitched! The Powers That Be in the Homestuck universe may mass-produce the god tier outfits, but each codpiece must be hand made with love in every single stitch and custom tailored to each Bard's... umm, you know. Thing. Each Bard's Thing.

EDIT: (Watch out, 'cause I'm about to throw some really deep philosophical shit down)
Also, how dead is dead enough? Can someone ever truly be dead enough?

Dead dead would be no remnants left to come and botherate you in the night and shit. The eternal boredom of the dream bubbles is both unappealing AND preventative of allowing you to be unmolested in the sleeptimes by qhosts of the not-dead-enough. With remnants held in the dream bubbles, they are therefore NOT dead enough to be dead dead dead.

Dead.

Dead.

But if you were to succumb to the eternal boredom, one could argue that that would be the worse and deadlier death.
The death of your character: what you become when you give up 'cause you decided you just don't give a shit about anything anymore.
Wouldn't that be worse?

Which is worse, boredom and apathy that stretches into eternity, or nonexistance? This is an interesting question. Perhaps, if you take the view that the former is a more cruel fate than the latter, then destruction would be an act of mercy. Maybe LE's actually the good guy, here.

Also, It strikes me the calliope and caliborn werent really trying regarding their gamy contest with each other.
As, both of them posses what are most likely highly powerful weapons.Now the chains. he chains may be indestructible, but they are attached to the wall. It woul be a simple matter to simply blow the link out of the wall. While it would still be attached, they would have free reign over the area.

Also, It strikes me the calliope and caliborn werent really trying regarding their gamy contest with each other.

For one thing, I suspect magic (or science, whichever you prefer) to be involved in the whole thing. For example, Caliborn didn't even unlock his shackle, it changed colour before he'd even touched it and then sprang open. So it might be that the whole shackle system is protected. Secondly, if they were purposely placed there and someone delibately made the chain system, it might be that that person accounted for the weapons they have, especially since they probably knew the pair of them had said weapons, and made sure those weapons would be ineffective in escape. Thirdly, I don't think there had been any point in removing the chain/leg before now, since ultimately there is nowhere for them to go prior to the game starting. Fourthly, they have a clear sense of what is mine is mine and what is yours is yours and if you touch mine I'll gut you thing going on. One of them could release themselves, but they would be at risk of the other doing things they don't want them to do when inevitably the other takes over (so any victory would be short lived and turn into a revenge-fest). For the sake of some form of peace in that department, they had to maintain the balance between them.

Also, for all we know, one of them might have already tried it and it didn't work.
