Thanks for the update! I have to say, I know that your nickname should be said as Math-Anon. But I can’t help trying to say it like Mathathon/Ma-thanon.

I don’t even know if there is going to be another flash-like game like what we had before with Meenah. I actually hadn’t thought that there might be more. But Hussie always likes to keep the reader on their toes so it’s possible.

And yeah thanks for the advice. I’ll see what I can do until I get like, 800-1000 pages away from the end, then set my pace from there. And while long pesterlogs are just soo much to read, they will probably help out with the pacing here so I hope I get some more choice conversations real soon.

Oh ho ho, this was a hard one. I didn’t even realize the possibility of doing the 10/25 thing.

But after careful consideration, I’ve decided to keep my original plan of having a total of 413 sessions.

The date is just way to close with how far I have left. If I try to push it, there is no guarantee that I will finish in time, and that would leave me stranded away from my 413 mark.

Plus, I want to have that big 413 mark of finishing. Because no one really pays attention to when the post was made, as much as the Big Bold Number of what part it was.

Hmm, that’s a hard question. I don’t actively ship characters other than maybe going “oh they look cute together” and leave it at that. I just don’t actively think out it much. Most of the time the ships I have come from Canon because that was what I saw that most. 

That being said, here are some of my thoughts:

I do like the idea of either Karkat <> Jade, or Karkat <> Kanaya. They both have a pretty good balance with him, between Jade’s positive attitude while standing her ground, and Kanaya’s bluntness and stoic nature to offset Karkat’s behavior. Since, you know, Gamzee is an asshole and was trash for Karkat this entire time. Personally I am leaning for Jade since I see Kanaya as more of a “close friend” thing, but I would be fine with either.

Nepeta<>Equius is always a must.

Y’all know my love for Ms. Paint <3 Slick. That is absolute.

I forgot about RoseMary. We have to add that into the pile of ships I like.

There is something weirdly intriguing about Dad/Diamond Droog. Like, would their relationship be lowkey just about suits and fashion? I feel like that is more of a crackship than anything but it still interests me.

I also honestly don’t have a hat in the ring for Jake’s harem life. He can go off with whoever is the best for him, it really doesn’t matter to me.

I am also like Dave and have really no idea how Spades shipping should work, so I am gonna recurse myself on that one.

Though the idea of Belkar having Pitch feelings for V from Order of the Stick will always be hilarious to me. That is definitely a crackship right there.

More ships I like would be Celia/Roy and Haley/Elan from OotS, Hotaru/Kayla from Shoot Around, and I’ve even turned around on Agatha/Gilgamesh from Girl Genius (that has to be end game, I can just feel it). Andra/Von Pinn  from GG is nice, and I think Cucumber/Nautilus is adorable as well.

Those are about all the current ships I can think of at the moment. I’m more better with reaction to ship you guys bring me than coming up with some myself.

And here we see the McEl-Trolls. Justin McLroy, Travis McLroy, and Grifin McLroy. Just trying to live their best life in Trolls 2

Actually, I’m so proud of myself on this one, I’m gonna tweet them the pic and see their reactions.

Looking Back on hs245 and hs247 summaries, I got a lot of things right. Not just John sticking his hand in a hole for shits and giggles. But Cal being satan and spreading his evil influences everywhere (because of Caliborn’s soul), that Cherubs are in pitched feelings and Caliborn is a horny asshole, the planet Cali and Caliborn were on was always Earth, and “sticking together the yin yang jujus to summon the ultimate juju and just wreck the shit of the entire universe” and we all way what happened with the Trickster Arc.

I refuse to believe I am Hussie. Maybe like the better cooler more improved one if anything, but I just have a natural gift.

And Seer of Rage….I like that one. Seer of Void might just have some competition there.

Oh, more background around the Peachy Joke. The lore deepens.

It is pretty cool that Hussie was so attuned to his fanbase that he would adjust the story around them, whether to make a point with the Trickster Arc or just changing a joke. (why must assholes and racists ruin everything).

But actually…..it is only this ask that made me realize that they actually had skin color during the Trickster Arc. That blew Right by me. I was more weirded out by their actions and outfits that I just, didn’t process that they had skin color. I think I thought it was psudo-orange Hussie skin and left it at that.
