Act 5 Part 26
Hey it's me again! Doing that thing where I read a strange webcomic on the internet and proceed to write about it in a silly manner which complete strangers at various points in the world seem to enjoy! SHRUG
Rightomungo! These guys... who are, erm, apparently made for each other. I'm not seeing it, to be honest, but I guess aristocrats are slated to interact with one another. Maybe this an arranged um... moirallegiance. If those exist. Y'know, for tactical advantage and forming political alliances.
Looks like it's my sign-sharing troll!!! Golly.... I'm just going to say right here that his fashion sense sucks. Is that a dyed streak going upwards?? A plum coloured cape (how do you deal w that if u live underwater)?? Oblong glasses that belong in an autumn catalogue for twenty somethings with acoustic guitars, beards, and no muscle definition?? Striped scarf + striped clown/pyjama pants AND bowling shoes??? This is too much.
I mean, I guess CC's getup is a little tacky, but it suits her personality at least. Plus it's cute and doesn't get in the way of her being the troll equivalent of a mermaid princess. But man... What is CA doing here?? So impractical. So brooding. SO TERRIBAD
Okay, hmm this is kind of a cool panel (seahorse lusus complete with saddle!!! NEEEEIIIIGGGlub) and oh my goodness is that a harpoon is he the one that killed gamzee's lusus BUT those pants
Oh! Usually we're introduced to characters while they're in their room, but I guess not this time.
Eridan is obvious! Eridanos, the mythological river into which Phaeton tumbled when struck from the sky, which most people agree is the real life Po River! EridanUs on the other hand, is one of the 88 constellations still recognized, and the 6th largest, although it's not as famous as other smaller ones. One interesting thing though is that the Eridanus is connected to the Aquarius constellation, and often portrayed as the river flowing out of the water-bearer's AMPHORA. Eh? Eeeeeh?? I'm so good
something silly is about to happen isn't it
O W8
i am waiting what else do you think i'm doing while i'm sitting here with a new webpage loading
hold up... seahorse lusus can float!?!?
THE SUSPENSE IS TOO MUCH
WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN
WHIMSICAL WHARFS WHUMPLED WHILE WHIPPING WHINING WHYDAHS
IT'S A FREAKING SKY WHALE
OH MY GOD
WELL I'LL SCUPPERED
BLATHERINGLY BLITHE BLUTHS
brings a whole new meaning to dying whale noises
THAT WAS SOMEONE'S LARGE MAGICAL WHALE PARENT YOU JERKFACE
HAVE YOU NEVER WATCHED THAT DOCUMENTARY ABOUT WHY WHALING IS BAD
what.
Alright I'll admit... maybe Eridan isn't lame any more... he may be badass but he still has bad fashion, though.
Let's find out about CC!!
Oh! It's a double trident, and there's some underwater ruins behind her. Heh, her fuschia shoes look like those weird water socks that divers and level 3 swimming instructors wear.
Now this one I'm gonna have to do some prodding for... Looking up "peixes -homestuck" leads me to A LOT of Portuguese webpages about fish, so I'm going to assume that peixes just means fish! Oooh! And it's also the Portugese translation of Pisces!! That's good to know... Er. Google seems to think I'm Portuguese now, so I'd better fix that. Can't find anything for feferi though. :\
Look at that hair flingle! It rivals Eridan's cape.
Wait Feferi why are you involved in this killing of majestic inter-elementary lusii
Another indigo one... Do all indigo blooded trolls have part sea creature lusii, because they are so close to being seadwellers?
OH MY GOD HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT THAT IS A WHOLE SKY WHALE
PLOT TWIST: Feferi is involved in an illicit whaling institution that traffics expensive aerial-grade blubber around Alternia. She is so strong because years of living in the toxin-saturated waters of the oceans have mutated her into AQUAWOMAN
Am I supposed to be reminded of the horrorterrors of derse because i am
Feferi may be so much darker than we all expected...
HOLY CRAP IF THAT'S A WHALE THEN THIS TENTACLE MUST BELONG TO A?????????
OH mmmYYy gooodDNES SS
IS THIS THE "SHE" FEFERI WAS TALKING ABOUT WITH KANAYA???
IS THIS FEFERI'S LUSUS????
IS FEFERI'S LUSUS A GODDAMN HORRORTERROR???????
IT EVEN HAS A SQUID MOUTH
[dying whale noises]
[SCREAMING WHALE NOISES]
[JUST HAD A HEART ATTACK FROM WITNESSING LOVECRAFT'S WET DREAM AND MUTTERED "i was right to go to space than to become a deep sea explorer... the bounds of our own earth is so much more alien than anything else the universe could produce" AS IT DIED WHALE]
Feferi's hive is huge compared to her but not as huge as the ELDRITCH ABOMINATION THAT IS PROBABLY HER LUSUS
So I'm assuming there's negative consequences if Feferi's lusus isn't fed... she'll be loud. And that's not good. Somehow. Connected to the "Vast Croak/other frog sound that Dersites make fun of" somehow??Jeez, Vriska isn't the only one with the burden of a monstrous, carnivorous lusus. I wonder what'll happen to the ocean ecosystem if a creature of that size dies...
Huh, he DOESN'T live underwater... despite being a seadweller. Odd.
:(
What do lusii with dead trolls do?? Find another young charge??
thx eridan ur a pal
FLARP treasure, a fridge, a shelf.... and horrible wizard statues? Rose had those because of her mom and dark majyyks but why would-
Oh my
OH MY GOD
LIGHTNING SHAPED HORNS AND SIMILARLY WAVY STREAK IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS HAIR ABOVE HIS FOREHEAD
GLASSES
STRIPED SCARF
A MAGICAL LOOKIN CAPE
HAS HEAPS OF UNUSED GOLD
WEAPON OF CHOICE GENERATES ENERGY BLASTS AND COLOURED LIGHT
IT CAN'T BEÂ
HE'S
ERI' 'PORA!!!!!!!
i'm gone
ok but how does that work you're all thirteen
[groans and rolls eyes]
Maybe he's more like the anti-Harry Potter, seeing as he wants to kill everyone
Right on! He's like that guy in my humanities class who knows WAY TOO MUCH about European history and tries to argue each point by bringing up an example about the Crusades or something.
Yup. Definitely Anti-Harry Potter.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
So... we have some pet cuttlefish and hippocampi, along with an octopus floor pattern. Nice!
I'm a little concerned about how all the different letters of Gl'bgolyb are in my online nickname, Bloggery. o__o [looks at own hands] who am i
So... Feferi's lusus isn't a Horrorterror, just an emissary to the Horrorterrors. Which is SO relieving. Ha. Haha. Hahaha.Â
Hmm.. both the seadwellers are connected to Rose! Eridan with his wizard statues, and Feferi with her... creature of zoological dubiousness that could probably be found in Rose's grimoire.
AND the Vast Glub!! Geez. What is with all these SUPER MEGA ULTRA PINNACLE BIGGEST OH MY GOD YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE things in Homestuck?? like, chill out yo
If the Vast Croak has something to do with creation... then maybe the Vast Glub has something to do with destruction? Seeing as Feferi wants to prevent it... shrug.
Ah... the troll queen I'm assuming? I guess she really wants to keep her seat...
Although that sounds better than execution, treating people like pets is prooobably not the best idea js. :\
Hm. Feferi is nice, but she seems to have something of a saviour complex, while Eridan on the other hand, has a genocidal one. They're the two coin faces of oppressors, I guess.
oh god
why
where did you get a cowboy hat with custom holes for your pisces horns
why is your wand shaped like your horns
GOODBYE THIS IS ALL I CAN TAKE FOR ONE DAY AND I NEED TO TAKE OUT THE TRASH
