...
You're like, a goldmine of comic ideas. I just imagined a Kippopotomas, and it was glorious.

It's the evolution of several factors actually. I received a corgi puppy named Cardimon McKippo for my fourteenth birthday, and at about the same time, founded a company known as J. Industries. This was about three or four years ago. Over time, McKippo became Kippo, for convenience sake. Then one day here on dA I got into this little comic strip idea with some buddies, who wanted to make furry chibis to use for the comic. I used my dog, and shortened his name to Kip. My company went through several revisions, and as Kip became an important character in not only the comic but in my own fledgling story, I thought it proper to rename my company. Technically, the company name is KippoInk, as in, you know, ink. Like what artists use. But it was already taken when I made my new account here, so I used KippoTec instead.

...

It makes sense to me at least.

That aspect was cut from the budget, and how the company is stream-lined into various art/writing projects, plus R&D on a minimalistic scale.

Her hair is choppy, but I think I like it. I adore her shoes because I'm a huge fan of Gregory Maguire's Wicked so of course that adds to it, but her gawk expression is why she's my favorite. XD

So many Wizard of Oz references in such a short time... Her shoes, Sayonara Kansas, the yellow brick road, Hussie is the man behind the curtain, and the emerald shitty paint job. And I'm getting used to her hair now. It looks better when she's in Hero Mode. Aah I like Wicked too. I like the musical best, but I've read the book also. Both of them just look so intelligent in that panel.

At first when I saw the reflection in John's glasses I thought it was a meteor. Then I was like OH NO PROBLEM IT'S JUST HUSSIE

(Yes, yes I did. I wonder if this means they were incapable of speech before this? Like, could they talk to their guardians, or even non-Sburb related people?)

I think my affinity for Vriska stems partly from my admiration of Elphaba (I haven't seen the musical yet) since they're similar in a lot of ways. They're both seen as antagonists, but may have more noble or honest intentions than anyone else in their respective stories. But I digress. *straightens tie*

I know right? It's so obvious they've taken to their high status as leveled up god-tier so gracefully. They seem so wise and all-knowing now.

I actually thought it was brobot very briefly. But I'd forgotten the glasses. I was like wtf for three nanoseconds, but then I understood it was just Hussie. Which is funny because he's the one that's killing everyone.

(well there was never anyone non-Sburb related in the story anyway, so it's not like that matters much lol. I think they probably could...I mean, in the troll games, they spoke directly to each other...they just did it through games.)

I hadn't thought of those similarities, but you're right. And to take it a step further, she has a sister that she has mixed feelings for... that's in a wheelchair... *ruins metaphor for you*

John and Jade personify what people think of when they picture gods. They clearly know what they're doing.

I know. Part of me fears Hussie, because he's the one killing everyone, and part of me is just like, "Oh you, what are you doing out here silly? You should be hanging curtains and hitting people with brooms."

(I know, but if they couldn't speak, that would make their relationships with their guardians a whole lot more interesting. Imagine growing up and not being able to speak to your dad, or mom, or brother, or dead stuffed grandpa, or dog. Look at me casually making more Sadstuck.)

(It kind of makes their relationships more dynamic that way. There's no bullcrap words, and you can't fake the other forms of communication that easily. A soft caress from an affectionate Lusus when its troll is feeling down. A fresh glass of milk in the workshop every morning. A relaxing back massage with soothing claws. A soft pap on the head from a fluttering bull-fairy. And honestly, I don't think Lusus can talk anyway, so I suppose that's pretty much how it went.)

Aaaaaaaah all the updates. PM sending WV to the Green Sun was just so... That must have been hard for her. Now she's going to track down Jack and kick his ass. I demand it.

Lol, Hussie could do it, too. That's the part that scares me. There is no part of me that doubts for a second that he could come up with 48 completely individualized and unique deaths that would be seamlessly interwoven into the plot.

It just depends on what reality you happen to be in.


She'll kick his ass, and he'll try to make out with her. I see it now.


...and probably already killed them off somehow, already in the story. Like Karkat's bucket, probably had like five squiddles in very tiny forms, and were smashed by his forehead. I suppose we'll see.

Lol, this will indeed be an interesting fight. One that will probably end up happening, since she's in pursuit. (I was worried for a minute that she'd get left behind, but looks like everybody's coming. Party in the new universe!)

Their deaths have been hidden throughout the series. Hussie has been hiding little hints around since the beginning of the comic, and people who reread will be able to spot the points where each squiddle died. Possible theory: Jade's tanglebuddy squiddle dolls she had at the beginning were real squiddles that Grandpa taxidermied.

And I'm at this very moment experimenting in MS paint to see what I can do...

I can see it now. She'll have him in a headlock, trying to choke him, and his little tongue will be wiggling around trying to lick her affectionately.

Oh, MS Paint. One day I will attempt it again, but until then I will stick to my lovely Photoshop. I can get close to the same look if I try, but I'm so used to having pen sensitivity and whatnot. I can't draw worth crap with a mouse.

You have no idea how many random Homestuck theories run through my head on a day to day basis. In the midst of typing my reply to the note, I started pairing up characters based on their reverse usernames. I ended up with John&Dave, Rose&Strider, Jade&Jane, Jake&Lalonde, Karkat&Terezi, Vriska&Kanaya, Gamzee&Equius, Nepeta&Eridan, Sollux&Tavros, and Feferi&Aradia.
