fedoraFreak: jury rigged makeshift urine filtration system utilizing serveral gorgeous silk socks, stretched like drum over open mailbox. fedoraFreak: filters adequately, remains yellow, unpalatable. fedoraFreak: storing unimbibed urine in rumpled, unsightly fedora. fedoraFreak: p.s. - they are all rumpled and unsightly, unfortunately.

Fedorafreak remains the best character in Homestuck.

Anyway, we evidently missed something pretty critical. The last time we saw John, he was about to prototype the kernel - and now he's napping. Either Vriska is interfering, or something is going down on Skaia.

TT: Why were you sleeping?

Not quite in the loop on everything, are you, Seer?

I feel like that should be a red flag for you - a sign that you should be catching up with your friends a little more. If you were, you'd have learned about Vriska's sleep-sniping habits from John or Kanaya, and you wouldn't be so surprised.

EB: i couldn't have been out for that long, because my dream was really short. TT: You weren't. TT: Ten minutes, I'd say.

It's over.

Something critical has happened here - and I'd bet a Grist Hoard that it happened because John slept through it. Someone was 8iding their time, waiting for the right moment to influence events in their favor.

I told you to be careful around that girl, John.

EB: can you see me somehow? TT: Yes. TT: I have a crystal ball. [...] EB: can it show you the future? [...] TT: No, it can only show me various locations in the present moment, as far as I can tell.

A versatile tool for a Seer, just like Dave's timetables are for him.

Perhaps every Player makes a 'classpect tool' to aid them with their specialty. You could even argue that John's is his jetpack, which allows him to acquaint himself with the air.

...that said, the trolls had rocket gear, too. His classpect tool, if it exists, will probably be more specifically tied to his Heir-of-Breathness.

TT: My perception of the future has been informed by other sources. [...] TT: Whispering gods, memories sifted from dreams, cryptic readings from unearthed talismans, conclusions drawn from riddles deciphered - every gambit you'd expect a quest to extend to an emerging seer. TT: Just as I presume an heir would be supplied with what's needed for his maturation, assuming he's looking for it.

So if you're willing to embrace your Title, the game will sort of... meet you halfway?

Well, that's easy for a Seer to say. The game provides plenty of obvious ways for you to learn more about the world around you. What's an Heir supposed to do? Who can he inherit from?

Maybe John's ultimate goal as an Heir has something to do with the Royal Families. If so, he'd better get a move on - one of them is already extinct.

TT: Sometimes trolls blither tidbits about the future, and I can't help but take note of it. TT: Just as they do with you. TT: You also have access to the oracle clouds in Skaia, whereas I do not.

You could take a peek at them with your crystal ball, couldn't you?

Actually, maybe not. The clouds are probably 'hard-coded' as a Prospit perk. The same way Jade found the Furthest Ring unpleasant and overwhelming, Rose would probably find nothing of value in those clouds.

TT: Knowing the future is no remarkable feat here. TT: It appears to be a fact of life. TT: I'm not all that special, John.

Downloaded the Krita art program. It has this mirror drawing option I've been playing around with.

I hate the fact that people throw around the word “queerbaiting” while having a fit that their male x male or female x female ship fantasy isn’t canon or when the creator says, “no their relationship isn’t romantic or sexual,” because the REAL queerbaiting here is a creator saying that this character is bisexual/pansexual, but doesn’t show any interest in the same sex, or a gay moment appears towards the end of a show or movie as a gag for a few seconds.
