Reblog this if you pronounce Calliope “Cal-ee-ope”

2olluxybottom:

Just wondering.

Other post is here.

Honestly, that’s how I’ve pronounced it for the longest time, but it turns out its actually cah-lie-oh-pee. Here’s a video, but if you google enough there’s a few dictionarys that back it up.

WHAT IS HOMESTUCK LIKE I REALLY JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND PLEASE SOMEONE SEND HELP. ??????

Homestuck begins when thirteen-year-old John Egbert receives a beta copy of an upcoming computer game, called “Sburb”, in the mail. Installing and running the game on his computer triggers a meteor attack on his real-life house, which he survives only by being transported to another planet, thus immersing him completely within the world of Sburb. As John’s friends Rose Lalonde, Dave Strider, and Jade Harley join the game with him, they learn that they have unwittingly triggered the end of the world, and that it is their duty to play the game and thereby see the story through to its completion.

As they begin to explore the world of Sburb, John and his friends are harassed by a group of twelve internet trolls who have played the game before. Further contact with the trolls reveals that they are not human at all, but an alien species actually called “trolls”. As the trolls gradually become more important to the story, the narrative shifts to a side story exploring the nature of troll society and the specific sequence of events that led to these particular trolls entering the game themselves. The trolls’ arc concludes with the revelation that winning the game causes the creation of a new universe, and that it was the trolls who originally created the humans’ universe.

The story returns to focus on the humans. Increased contact between the humans and the trolls leads to an uneasy friendship between the two groups, as well as the discovery that they must cooperate to try to salvage the kids’ doomed game session. They learn that the game has a mechanism for restarting, called a “scratch”, and they begin working toward the ability to activate it. Fighting against them is a rogue non-player character within Sburb, called Jack Noir, who becomes nearly invincible in their session and is unique because of it, as the trolls had formed an alliance with their version of Jack Noir. Despite this obstacle, the kids narrowly manage to trigger the scratch, which results in the destruction of the kids’ universe - though the players themselves survive by traveling through pocket dimensions that will lead them to the new session.

The scratch causes the humans’ universe to restart, with the condition that the kids’ guardians are the ones to play through Sburb now, not the kids themselves. John’s grandmother, Jane Crocker, who had died before the story began, is now a fifteen-year-old and the protagonist of this new arc, and leads her three friends, Roxy Lalonde, Dirk Strider, and Jake English, through their own session. Meanwhile, the original humans and surviving trolls must journey to the new universe over the course of three years, in order to aid the new session and bring it to completion. Threatening their plan is a villainous creature called Lord English, a purportedly invincible time-controlling demon, as well as the still-dangerous Jack Noir. The stakes are at their highest, with multiple groups of both humans and trolls forced into a race against time to discover a method of destroying Lord English before he potentially destroys all of existence.

is it just me or did aradia lose her “0” in the update

I don’t think she has had it since she reached god tier, being alive an all. The capital O was supposed to be a part of the whole “ghost” thing, and the zero was a robot thing. After god tier she’s spoken normally.

So every one was freaking out about the nine new relationship symbols, but I don’t even think we expected that there are DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS OF THEM.

THESE SYMBOLS COMBINE WITH EACH OTHER TO CREATE MORE ELABORATE SHIPPING TYPES.

We wanted to have more ships than any other fandom…

Furthermore, a pair of leprechauns is not limited to a single charm. A relationship may 8e defined 8y multiple charms at once! In fact, some of the most interesting relationships arise from exotic charm com8in8tions. A sta8le relationship consisting of three or more charms is called a trove. These advanced relationships are often viewed as the ideal end result for a romance, much the way certain pairing rituals are for humans. ”

 

Well, it did say that on the same page they introduced the nine charms…

… that horrible moment when you realize you Meenah’d your way through some exposition.

That’s alright, it was a large wall of text so it’s understandable if you skimmed it a bit.

shit, knight of doom goes blind at some point… i suddenly hate being knight of doom

atleast im best friends with a knight of time (seriously, they are literally the perfect partners)

Well, it said Prophet of Doom (referring to Sollux’s role as a Mage), not necessarily Hero of Doom, after all Mituna can still see.

You can hold onto your vision just a bit longer =D.

they call the resetting of the universe The Scratch. Then there’s the saying “to start from scratch”. I always wondered why they called it The Scratch but now I know why its called that because they’re literally starting the universe from scratch.

I think Karkat pointed it out and threw a little tantrum about it.

oh really? hmm I don’t remember that. Well… this is kinda embarrassing…

That’s no big deal, it was during a lot of stuff so it’s understandable not to remember it. I think it was around Cascade, so it might have been overshadowed, being only one panel after all.

I wonder what everything would be like if the world was like sweet bro and hella jeff

I think I’d only take elevators then.

can someone explain to me what homestuck is
cuz frankly i have no fucking clue

Four kids play a video game, which is like the Sims, but they can alter real life. Playing the game triggers a meteor shower apocalypse, and only the kids survive by entering a dimension created by the game. The goal of the game is to build up to gates/portals, find their way to each other (the kids have never met in real life) and fight the Black King. However, their game is broken, and they instead have a different goal.

Twelve alien “Trolls” play the same game on their world, and have already completed it by the time they speak with the kids. However, circumstances caused by the kids made the Trolls unable to claim their prize for winning (their timelines intersect often). Some trolls try to help the kids, some try to derail them, and some do not care at all. In the end they have to team up in order to allow the kids to win, and give the trolls a chance to survive.

Many characters die. Some more than once, and at least one three times.
