@Odder: It does make sense, it just takes a lot of focus to put all the pieces together. I had to binge the comic like three times before I felt like I had a grip on how everything fit together.
Reaction Image RepositoryThere are some things that we cannot use for revenge attacks, due to the Geneva convention.
Phrases like "a lethal dose of morphine will not stop the pain" tend to go over badly with international tribunals.
I don't understand how that quoted phrase can be an accurate statement. The dead do suffer, so far as we are officially aware.
"Lethal dose" and "immediately lethal dose" are different things.
just reached the page where the reader avatar thing desperately wants john to make out with himself (after retcon shenanigans put two of him in the same place)
is it bad that i am basically the reader avatar thing on this
hmm should i try to edit this xkcd comic to be john and dave
(nope too lazy)
(you guys can though)
(seriously make xkcdstuck a thing)

Yeah, Hussie was right, the reader has strange interest in some characters. Including the Huss.
You should expect us to be spoilered rotten though. Now it depends if you're what some call a spoiler whore/whatever, or if you truly care about getting spoiled, like me and 20% of any fandom. In the latter case, kill us and then ressurect us when you're done reading.
Wait, no. Better to just stop reading anything tagged "retcon" or "nepeta".
We all want Selfcest... but as the comic goes we'll never get it. Jade has no duplicates, there hasn't been any doomed Daves around (Davepeta doesn't count), retcon john is gone.
All we have left is Rose Jasprosesprite^2. and the other ship that's a no
Those kids will be alright.

We can always hope for Aradia x Aradiabot.
... I mean, as horrifying as this idea is to contemplate, we do have three versions of Jane hanging out together at the moment.
Also Arquius/Dirk, on the less horrifying side of things.
I knew about the Janes but rejected the idea. However if we start messing with retcon duplicates it's easy to think of Arquius x2 wanton horse shenanigans combo and Dirk x Glitch!Dirk.
For the first time in my life I'm possibly beginning to think of myself as homestuck trash. Look how far you brought me, Horselord. Now I start considering selfcest ships.
And now the one everyone fears and secretely considered.
Vriska <3< Fishka anyone?
Look bud, we all want Vriska to go fuck herself, but we don't want her to literally go fuck herself!
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?No.
moved to Oceanstuck because this handle was starting to bother me my tumblr@Gilphon: That's the ship I put under the spoiler with a no.
It'd be terrifying for Fishka. We can be sure of that. Or it'd turn out like those dumbasses who ship Sollux <3< Eridan. They'd simply kill each other.
Oh god why didn't I think of it earlier. There are three Jacks around. Roxy would like that. Wasn't she the one to wonder things about carapacians?
[S] Roxy: Write shitty fanfiction about Jack duplicates.
They ship Sollux and Eridan?
But...why?
Hell, why do people like Eridan so much? I always got the impression of him being a whiny entitled prick who ended up deciding to quit like a nihilistic coward and deserved to be chopped in half. Seriously, I hate him so much.
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?I can honestly say that I despise Eridan, and the only regret I have about his death is that it was over relatively quickly and comparatively painlessly rather than being a ten-hour celebration involving fire ants down the trousers.
If it's any consolation, I have plans to make that scene MUCH more brutal if I ever get the chance to adapt Homestuck.
Picture Kanaya acting more like a wild vampire and getting her hands dirty when dealing with that trio of terrible trolls (alliterations FTW). That's how I'd do it, since we all know we'd want to have a lot of catharsis from seeing Gamzee, Vriska, and Eridan being evil shits.
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?I like Eridan as a good example of Bait the Dog, a pathetic loser who is fun to laugh at, until he starts to murder people.
As just a pathetic loser, he's just kinda boring. Which sucks because the Bait the Dog thing can only be a one off.
Hahahahah, you're actually /surprised/ that erisol exists? Did you know that there are actually people stupid enough to ship it red? Let us direct our rage upon them, rather than the significantly-less-stupid-but-still-stupid black shippers.
RED?!? THEY...WHA?
They do know that Eridan tried to KILL Sollux, right?
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?I can tell you the exact schematic of Shipping Goggles that would be necessary to see that.
Master Dial: MAXIMUM OVERSHIP
Tsundere Tolerance: MAXIMUM OVERSHIP
Detect All Quadrants Or Just Matespritship: Just Matespritship
(no other variables are relevant)
As you can see, it's not an ideal layout for a Homestuck fan. I, myself, could never turn anything up to MAXIMUM OVERSHIP. I started pushing real people's heads together in public while yelling NOW KISS.*
*This is of course not a true story.

Eh, makes sense that they'd be shipped red. I mean technically all shipping is "red" in all fandoms (character a and b like each other, romantically), so I'm sure all the weird ships would be shipped red at some point.
ERISOL IS THE MOST POPULAR TROLL/TROLL SHIP ON AO3 YOU CAN CHECK IF YOU WANT OPEN THE RELATIONSHIPS TAB IN THE FILTER PANEL

All you goddamn newbie Eridan haters, get off of my lawn. I was defending Eridan to your grandparents before you even knew this thread existed.
It's been fun.
Eh, I'm not even caught up and I know all of the spoilers. But then again I'm a spoiler whore.
Also, I'd propose you just get whatever weapons you Aussies have to perform your revenge attack. Seriously, your country may as well have been created by Bruce Lee and Bruce Campbell deciding to test the limits of how badass and terrifying you can make a country.
