>Start thread for MS Paint Adventures

having actually gone back through that argument, ahr, you weren't treated nearly as horribly as you say you were, at least before the thumped posts which i don't know what was in them, but only like three people were getting thumped, yourself among them, so that's hardly reflective of the thread's populace in general.

Thumped posts are thumped posts, dude. Forgive me for making a grim joke. It's my coping mechanism for emotional breakdowns.

Yes, I am a human being. With emotions. Shocking. I know.

oh gog ahr don't continue

I've been in this particular situation before and it never ends well. Just trust me on this.

I'm actually quite unfazed by this last death. I think it's because we were warned of it in advance. Even the victim was.

"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."

its just that most human beings with emotions don't have emotional breakdowns when people don't agree with them

Plus, it's Sollux. If Expendable Character has a picture of Nepeta next to it in the dictionary, it's only because Sollux isn't as photo-genic.

Fight. Struggle. Endure. Suffer. LIVE.

This. I already shed my tears for Sollux back in "[S] Cascade"; this is just a final confirmation of what we already knew was happening.

I didn't write any of that.

one would think aradia would be, since thousands of her died

The only time I've actually cried was when Jade was beating up Jadesprite.

Well, those were alternate universe Aradias, though, which are all expendable anyway according to the very rules of the cosmos.

@ Boolean: I'm kind of curious as to why Jade beating up Jadesprite made you cry, if you don't mind me asking. I kind of found it darkly amusing, if only because of the callbacks.

Imagine Rakan applying Calling Your Attacks to doing paperwork.~Anarchy Rakan for the hell of it COMMISSION THIS BRIDGE!~EHK

Well, there's layers to it. Firstly, you have to think of it from Jadesprite's perspective. The last thing you remember was dying and sacrificing yourself to save your friend whom you've never even seen awake. Then suddenly you're resurrected and put into a position where you have all the knowledge of the universe pouring into your brain uncontrollably (Bec's borderline omniscient, remember) and the BLINDING LIGHT of The Green Motherfucking Sun constantly blazing behind your eyeballs. Now a duplicate of you, who has been living your life for you starts yelling at you to do something. You try to explain that you can't and you need a moment to figure shit out, and she starts yelling at you and calling you names. She tells you that you are weak, cowardly, and selfish before finally just literally beating the shit out of you. How absurdly sad is that?

And the thing is that it's equally sad from Jade's perspective because she has been working so hard and knows what needs to be done but now this dream-self bitch just won't cooperate because WAH WAH I WAS DEAD. It's hard being dead. It's hard and nobody understands. Especially considering how cheerful Jade normally is, you have to consider that she is having a mental breakdown.

On top of all of that, there's the fact that she is basically giving a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown to herself and everything that implies about her self-esteem. She also calls herself weak, cowardly, and selfish as she does it, implying that she holds herself to the same standards and that this is what is going on in her head all the time.

You have just reminded me of everything I love about Jade Harley. GOD. Mind if I share that quote on Tumblr? Cause that's a really great breakdown of her character.

No probs Link it here, pls?

It was a really sad scene, but most people didn't see it that way because it was presented in a humorous manner. Like almost everything else in Homestuck.

That's one of the things I love about Homestuck. I get enough GRIMDARK from everything else.

Strange, funny, and heartrending.

Haha, it's impressive how well I describe something that happened in someone else's story?

I like how that Tumblr post advertises us as the best MSPA discussion thread. People will turn up and promptly find us talking about lesbians.
