My favourite troll is the L33T speak guy. What's his name?
 
Re: Homestuck

You do not ever start a Homestuck thread without fully reading what exists of Homestuck.
Ever.

No really. Like, go bang your head against a wall. But not for too long, the Simpsons is on.

protip: Not a he.

Have you made it to Act 5?
 
Re: R41NBOW RUMPUS P4RTYTOWN (Spoilers ahead!)

Also I hate it how people think she speaks L33T, because she doesn't. She just replaces her letters with numerals of the blind prophets.

Re: R41NBOW RUMPUS P4RTYTOWN (Spoilers ahead!)

I guess it can be considered a dialect of leetspeak, but I don't. I just consider it a quirk.
 
Re: R41NBOW RUMPUS P4RTYTOWN (Spoilers ahead!)

Hey everybody! Stop what you're doing, I was bored so I made some speculation about active/passive classes:

Note: Passive first, then active

  • Rogue/Thief - Confirmed; a Rogue steals for others, a Thief steals for self.
  • Bard/Prince - Confirmed; a Bard allows destruction, a Prince causes it.
  • Maid/Knight - Maids and Knights are both medieval figures who are often related to eachother (moreover "maidens" I guess). In homestuck, Aradia (maid of time) seems to be more of an aid to the rest of her team, not taking any active role and just giving them information (could be related to time?). Another point would be Jane, who seems to have healing abilities - healers aren't usually active players on a team. Meanwhile Dave (and Karkat I guess) seem to be the much more active on their teams being as they are (Dave) a warrior and (Karkat) the leader.
  • Page/Heir - Both Pages and Heirs are something to be. I can't really find any points as to why Tavros and John are active/passive, but in history, Pages usually serve (retrieve things for their masters) and Heirs usually are served (they have servants).
  • Seer/Mage - Both are related to getting information (Rose can often see the future, Sollux has visions of his death) however Rose uses the information to help her team (Terezi too I guess) but Sollux uses it for himself.
  • Sylph/Witch - A Sylph is a manifestation of an element, a Witch can manipulate an element. Sylphs are that which is manipulated (passive), Witches do the manipulation (active).

So yeah, I'm pretty sure those are the pairings of the classes.

For brownie points, here's my theory on genders:

Sylph - Female only (usually defined as female spirits) | Witch - Female only (I've never seen a male witch (female wizards =/= male witch))
Rogue - Mostly Female (conf.) | Thief - Mostly Female (conf.)
Bard - Male only (conf.) | Prince - Male only (conf.)
Page - Mostly Male (Pages are usually male, though female pages have been seen) | Heir - Mostly Male (same as Page)
Maid - Female only (Maids are only ever female) | Knight - Male only (I have heard of female knights, but I already used up all my "Mostly Males" - plus in the medieval sense (which I am basing these two on), then Knights are males)
Seer - Mostly Female (I used up all my "Female onlys" plus seers are usually female) | Mage - Mostly Male (Mages and Sages are the male users of magic)

I matched the genders with the class pairings, if you're wondering.

Now respond :D

And most likely, point out flaws

tl;dr speculation, either read it or don't
 
Re: R41NBOW RUMPUS P4RTYTOWN (Spoilers ahead!)

Tl;dr
Just kidding, it's interesting speculation. Now to let the Hussie ruin this.
 
Re: R41NBOW RUMPUS P4RTYTOWN (Spoilers ahead!)

I should also mention, for the second list, that makes all sessions balance out:

John - Heir (Mostly Male)
Rose - Seer (Mostly Female)
Dave - Knight (Male only)
Jade - Witch (Female only)

Jake - Page (Mostly Male)
Roxy - Rogue (Mostly Female)
Dirk - Prince (Male only)
Jane - Maid (Female only)

Equius - Heir (Mostly Male)
Terezi - Seer (Mostly Female)
Karkat - Knight (Male only)
Feferi - Witch (Female only)
Tavros - Page (Mostly Male)
Nepeta - Rogue (Mostly Female)
Eridan - Prince (Male only)
Aradia - Maid (Female only)
Sollux - Mage (Mostly Male)
Vriska - Thief (Mostly Female)
Gamzee - Bard (Male only)
Kanaya - Sylph (Female only)

So it seems like a fit :)
 
Re: R41NBOW RUMPUS P4RTYTOWN (Spoilers ahead!)

can seers be males too?

'cause I don't want to change the class... for javelin's story thing.

Uhm, I don't think anything except Thief/Rogue and Bard/Prince have been confirmed yet, so go ahead. If Hussie ruins your dreams halfway through the story...sucks for you!
 
Re: R41NBOW RUMPUS P4RTYTOWN (Spoilers ahead!)

Jake x Dirk (do we call it Jirk or something, like Brangelina?) will never replace Gamzee x Tavros (or Gamros, Tavzee or whatever you want).
 
Re: R41NBOW RUMPUS P4RTYTOWN (Spoilers ahead!)

Anyway since I'm slow with this stuff I just realized that SBurb is made by Lord English.
 
Re: R41NBOW RUMPUS P4RTYTOWN (Spoilers ahead!)

I'm pretty sure it was made by Skaia.
 
Re: R41NBOW RUMPUS P4RTYTOWN (Spoilers ahead!)

I'm pretty sure it's not, considering that SBurb creates Skaia.
 
Re: R41NBOW RUMPUS P4RTYTOWN (Spoilers ahead!)

Nabber, seriously.

John created himself.

How is this an issue??
