I have dishonored my ancestors beyond comprehension with this frivolous accessory.

(page 1349-1358; LOWAS walkaround)

JOHN EGBERT IS BACK. HE’S HERE!!!! Damn it is good to see him. His goofy face and glasses and his cool green slime suit appearing on my screen at the start of Act 4 was such a pleasure and a delight. To be honest I would’ve loved a day or two between the end of the Intermission and the start of Act 4. I am so excited to see John again as well as getting a bunch of new land and lore to explore that it’s super hard to concentrate on both things. The end of the intermission is pretty huge too so one thing at a time.

End Intermission

Beneath the barcode scanner door to English’s vault is a bunker of the kind WV and PM have flown to Jade’s island, complete with a command terminal and some similar establishing shots. For sure this is the bunker that Slick (then the Scurrilous Straggler) hung out in when he first arrived in this wasteland, sending commands to a Sburb player who brought about the apocalypse on this pink and green planet. Slick had a similar city building instinct to WV and succeeded in building this town – it’s uncertain whether he used the bunker’s homing function, but that may be how he met up with the rest of the Midnight Crew and Snowman. The Felt’s species and origin remain unknown. For some reason, Lord English – who still has not been seen now the intermission has ended – wanted to cut off this communication. The terminal allows for communication through time (interesting, considering Slick’s distaste for time based powers) so possibly English was researching this as a way to enhance his or his gang’s own powers?

Slick’s command terminal has twelve windows, in place of WV’s four. On page 1355, we see a Creature of some description – a sprite in the same style as the kids, with pale gray skin, yellow eyes and horns, fangs, and a black shirt with a gray symbol. Behind them floats a pincered, crablike sprite(?). They have a gray cruxite dowel and two black captchalogue cards, and there are purple clouds in the window behind them in the same twelve-square pattern as the monitor.

Barring any major twists I think this is probably carcinoGeneticist, a troll Jade talked to on page 859. They write in gray text, with text color often matching cruxite and/or shirt symbol, and the ‘carcino-’ prefix can refer to either crabs or the astrological sign Cancer, which is their shirt symbol. That’s my star sign also so I’m pretty excited about this little guy, even if he sounded like a jackass while trolling Jade and looks really angry with those fangs.

It seems like Trollslum is another intermission in the Midnight Crew MS Paint Adventure that the beta kids are reading? And therefore possibly a future intermission for actual Homestuck? I’m not sure but these pages set up a fun parallel for carcinoGeneticist and John Egbert, in addition to the ‘weird scientist’ format of both their chumhandles. This intermission did a pretty good job of introducing the Felt and giving them distinct appearances and powers despite their large numbers, so I can imagine a future intermission doing this with twelve trolls, and I’m curious what type of genre the story would slip into for them.

ACT 4

We are dropped into Act 4 with no time to prepare; I have been asking for it, but when the moment came I was not prepared. John has passed through the First Gate, which has portaled him down to the Land of Wind and Shade (!), a planet (!!) ‘where the constellations dance beneath the clouds’ (p.885) (!!!) populated by yellow salamanders (!!!!) who have an extensive mail system (!!!!!) which we the reader get to walk around in and explore (!!!!!!). This mirrors ‘YOU THERE. BOY’ (p.253) where we also get to take over as John after he enters a new area of Sburb.

As previously established John Egbert has probably spent his whole life in western Washington, primarily the suburbs. We don’t know if his family even took vacations. This could be the first other place John has ever been, and it is mystical and magical, glowing blue mushrooms and trees (which look kind of like cruxite!!) surrounding him like some sort of bioluminescent cave video game level. After the day John’s had this place is kind of peaceful when he can find a quiet spot away from the imps. What an absolute dream come true to come to a land this beautiful and get to hang out with such cool, friendly locals. I’m personally delighted by all the visuals on this page, and I’m excited for John to keep exploring LOWAS just so I can see more of it.

John in this panel acts very confused and uncertain about his situation, relying on Nanna’s guidance a lot more than he did while in his house, and nervous around the salamanders (personally, I would be thrilled to meet a secret wizard and behold his robes). That’s definitely a John trait but we don’t get to see so much of his whimsy, stubbornness, problem solving, movie recreations, etc, probably because of the format, which makes me glad this is a single panel. I loved playing through this but wouldn’t want the whole story told in this format.

I’m very grateful for the map linked below the panel, to make sure I’ve explored every corner. I did not 100% Gate 1 because combat is fairly slow and not especially engaging, but the concept is super cool and the programming is impressive. Compared to a video game it feels clunky to play (I got trapped in an endless loop of ejecting and re-captchaloguing items in my sylladex), but as part of a webcomic it’s honestly radical. I feel like I’ve read enough other webcomics at this point to understand how far this is pushing beyond what other authors are doing, and how efficiently this is giving miles of exposition where other comics might take weeks to deliver all this lore (or a handful of wall-of-text comics that readers would complain about).

This panel is PACKED with exposition, from the long distance John and Nanna conversations, and the insights from salamanders. Just like ‘[S] Enter’, this feels like a way to move the story on as quickly as possible. Some of the expository lines do feel clunky, but when it’s paired with the cool visuals and presented in such a novel way, it doesn’t bother me, and I’m sure I’ll reference this page loads just like Nannasprite’s previous exposition. Here are some of the most important things we learn, in my opinion:

John is definitely the Heir of Breath. The Heir’s arrival has long been prophesized among LOWAS’ indigenous creatures; the ‘wind’ in the land’s name presumably links to the ‘breath’ in John’s title.

‘Amphibious and reptilian life forms play a special role in your quest, John.’ ‘Underlings’ (presumably imps, ogres, etc) will deface any frog iconography they come across.

‘The Slumbering One’, who was awake and is now asleep, once cast a spell on the land’s fireflies to trap them within the clouds, much like the trapped firefly WV already rescued from a nugget of amber (p.749).

‘The Slumbering One’ also ‘commissioned’ the underlings (hired them? had them created?) and caused some sort of environmental damage using ‘sludge’, which the salamanders are not happy about.

The mail system is an extremely important part of life on LOWAS to the point of being sacred.

The Second Gate is ‘hidden somewhere in the Land’, although it also might be visible above John’s house (p.251), so there could be multiple possible routes for progression(?)

Jaspersprite’s prototyping has affected the imps on John’s land, who have tentacle, princess and cat characteristics, as well as the imps Rose will fight.

Nannasprite knows that Rose has entered the Medium (and what she looks like).

And most important of all, one salamander essentially gives John a major game quest:

‘The spell I'm sure you've heard from a reliable source cannot be broken unless The Slumbering One is first woken up, and then slain. Then the Breeze will again flow through the Pipes and the Fireflies will be released and allowed to go home. But I do not envy the adventurers who will presumably take on this responsibility!’

Clicking John gives the command ‘I am told your name is John. Is that correct?’, which is closer to the Wayward Vagabond’s ‘BOY WHO IS JOHN. DO AS I SAY’ (p.253) than to the regular player’s ‘John: Action’ command format. So this could indicate that a different future construct is talking to John – possibly the Peregrine Mendicant, because this land is very focused on the mail.

And I LOVE the mail system; it might be my favorite thing about this land. I personally looked in a whole bunch of parcel pyxis, and found several rocks, a shoe, a couple of minitablets, a chunk of amber (firefly not included), a cool frog, and best of all, a jar of bugs. I will guard this jar of bugs with my whole life. The carved minitablets moving through the pipes as a system of trade is very fun worldbuilding.

I guess my one issue with this page is the writing of some of the salamanders. Conceptually they’re great, and I love how their distinct personalities and roles within the culture come through – some are really communicative, while others are unhelpful, some have jobs in the society like mushroom farming, some are entrepreneurial (I would sell my suit to a salamander for 1 Boondollar if it was allowed) and some are outcasts (Crumplehat dishonoring their ancestors). Genuinely I think Hussie did a great job quickly showing a diverse society and hinting at its power structures and politics, but they are SO annoyingly selfconscious about making a fantasy society and it kind of makes me want to punch them? Like I’m okay with some nods to the audience and medium but ‘'GLUB' can basically mean anything I want it to mean. It's really cool having a bullshit language’ and ‘Maybe elders or something like that. Man I don't know. Also, isn't it funny how I'm sort of taking your existence here in stride? I'm treating it like it's no big deal’ do cross a line for me. Like it or not, this isn’t an ironic salamander society for a one off gag, this is a legitimate salamander society that’s going to form an important part of the story. That story isn’t going to be everyone’s thing but being all desperate pick-me about it isn’t going to make people take this story seriously who otherwise wouldn’t.

Anyway to finish on a positive note, getting to look up through the telescope and see John’s house feels very jarring, but also very cool. To see the primary location of the first three acts from a totally different vantage point feels like a point of no return for the story, and maybe John as a character. Hey if things get bad enough down here this kid’s gonna WISH he was homestuck.

Camping with Raphaela

During our road trip vacation, Raphaela and I camped along the way every night. It's more fun than staying in a hotel, more affordable, and very safe. After I set up camp for myself, I set up Raphaela's campsite within mine, one that's sized just for her.

The chair she is sitting in in the above picture is something I found at a thrift store, so I don't really know anything about it. Her camp stove was made by me. The tent is American Girl brand, and her picnic table is Our Generation brand. I found it at a thrift store and spray painted it white.

Here's a closer look at her tent. It's a 2014 Truly Me item, called the Sunset Sleepover Tent. I originally bought it for my WellieWishers, but my bigger girls like it too, and it's easy to travel with.

The windows roll up for ventilation.

Inside she has the flannel sleeping bag and pillow my mom made for her, a backpack with hiking supplies, some warm clothes, and a lantern (not visible here) for when she wants to stay up late reading in her tent.

She can even cook on her stove! I made the pancakes from painted clay, and the pan and spatula came from a dollar store dishes set. The little mug was a small plastic container that I painted to look like vintage spatterware. I can put firewood into the bottom of the stove, but I never actually light it. This would not survive even a small fire.

To make the stove, I used three thick pieces of Styrofoam, and covered them with this raised texture plastic paper I found it at Dollar Tree. For the grill bars, I painted some wooden dowels black, and stuck them through the paper and styrofoam. The hooks are heavy wire painted black. They are removable and can hold the pans for when it's time to cook dinner. The pans also came from the dollar store toy cooking set, and I painted those too.

I based this entire stove on the American Girl brand piece they released a few years ago for Maryellen's collection, but mine cost me hardly anything at all, whereas the AG piece was $50.

Here's a closer look at the chair. It's made of wood, and feels really sturdy.

Two of the pancakes have syrup on them, which I made by drizzling hot glue onto the pancakes and then painting it with transparent paint, which can be made by mixing food coloring with white glue. Her plate is a mason jar lid I painted.

The picnic table was such a lucky find. It's plastic but has held up well over the past couple of years I've had it. It was originally bright pink. I like the white much better.

Raphaela herself is a Kidz N Cats doll, a defunct brand of articulated 18 inch dolls. I highly recommend the dolls, if you can find them for a reasonable price.

Factor Makes a Poltergust!

Part two

Last time on Factor Makes...

We got into the crafting process behind a homebrewed Poltergust, proudly made by someone with a tenuous grasp of engineering. I talked my way through the conversion of a cat carrier, the crafting of panels to attach, and even got a bit into the vacuum tube and flashlight.

Now, I hope to wrap things up by walking through the last few things: lights and the green goo orb.

Disclaimer

For those of you who didn't catch the first post, this is NOT a tutorial. I'm documenting my process, and if you want to use it as a reference for your own purposes, you are free to do so.

That being said, take precautions, people. Work in a well-ventilated area, lay out something to catch paint and drips of glue and sealant, and do not just stick your hands in stuff. Wear gloves. Goddamn.

With that said, on to the orb.

The Orb

What is the orb? Why is my title green? Which Poltergust are you making, anyway?

To answer those questions:

The orb is what holds (or bears semblance of holding) a certain gooey assistant.

The title is green because Gooigi is green.

I'm mashing up the Poltergust 5000 and the G-00, due to the base being a cat carrier and my skill limits with crafting stuff like this.

I mixed together two paints for the gooey interior: one green, one glow-in-the-dark starry kind of stuff. This was applied inside the orb, as well as to the outside of the inner bulb.

Oh, right, the inner bulb!

With a glass bowl, another foam disc, and some sealant, I made something for the inside of the orb. This is all painted to diffuse the light quite a bit.

Without the paint, it's kinda bright. But once things are painted and stacked up (with this inner disc given some Velcro), it gives off a soft glow goo effect.

For the attached tubes going from the orb to the Poltergust, I cut out some circles and stuck them inside the flap. From there, I cut another EVA foam dowel (painted black beforehand) into 7" inch pieces before gluing them to the foam circles and feeding the other ends into the dome. Don't worry if the circles come loose. They're meant more to keep this from sliding right out.

Now, onto the lights!

The Lights

It's crazy what several puck lights can do. So far they've enabled me to build a comically large flashlight that I push to turn on.

Now, though, we add the last of the decorations.

As mentioned in The Orb, I have a light shining through a glass bowl and some paint layers to give off a green gooey glow. Like I've been doing, I took another foam disc and carved a hole out of it, pressing the light down to get it to fit and to get the glue to take.

I ended up breaking the disc.

Nothing more hot glue couldn't fix, though.

For the circles I glued on way back, I glued some more foam inside the Poltergust to better brace the puck lights. The lights were glued on at two points, leaving a gap for me to stick my finger in to turn them on.

And with that, I give you...

A Poltergust.

Along with my dumbass cat, wondering why I did this to a possession of his.

Annnnd that's all, folks. If you need me, I'm gonna pass out on my couch until the local bar's costume contest comes around. Wish me luck!

(and also, remind me to take a picture with the full getup)

Hii your orange bead art came up on my dash and it's soo freakn beautiful?? Can I ask you how you actually got it strung up? Is that like a special bar for hanging up beads or did you make it yourself?

I know there is a guy that makes a craft kit for smaller projects like this that has a special bar you can use, but alas I couldn’t find anything comprable at the scale I was using. So I just got a larger wooden dowel and tied each string to it and adjusted as needed :)

[flock-talk]

Recently I’ve been looking for advice on creating a “hospital cage/tank” for my parrotlet in case of an emergency. (She is totally fine rn! I want to be prepared though, especially as she ages.) Have you ever had to make one of these, and what supplies would you recommend?

I have, and what you put in to it really depends on the severity of the issue you end up dealing with

- the cage itself can be a standard travel carrier but for more severe ailments it may be best to use something softer than metal bars like a fabric carrier or a cardboard box. Even acrylic cages with more solid walls might be advised depending on the issue

- respiratory issues would require a cage with ample airflow, other ailments may benefit more from enclosed walls the bird can safely bump in to and will contain warmth nicely

- some form of viewing window is helpful for being able to keep tabs on them but some illnesses might make the bird feel extremely stressed if exposed. An option to lightly cover viewpoints (but not restrict airflow) such as a light, loose, sheet may work

- something to pad the floors with, typically a towel- just ensure it doesn’t have loops that toes can get caught in. Extremely sick birds may not be able to perch or even hold themselves up. You’ll want a material that will soften any falls, provides easy tractions for them to push themselves along the floor, be comfortable, as well as be able to be shaped in to little ledges the bird can prop themselves up against to stay upright. Ensure you have multiple of these things, cleanliness is very important with sick animals you’ll want to be able to replace objects and clean things as quickly and easily as possible.

-with that you may want a container without climbable walls. Birds often want height to feel safe and will try to climb up cage walls even if they repeatedly fall off. Smooth walls will prevent them from causing further harm. To reduce the stress of being on the floor it can help to keep the cage itself up nice and high.

- for less severe ailments the bird may perch just fine, in those cases you’ll want some plain dowel perches a diameter that your bird can easily hold on to. Usually a width that their foot can grip 3/4 the way around. Dowels are best in this case for the consistent width and stability, although you may want to sand one down to create a small bit of texture in it so they’re less slippery.

- in some cases a heating pad may be recommended to be placed underneath 1/4-1/3 of the carrier. Something to help keep their body warm if they get sick during the cold season but you don’t want excessive heat trapping causing the bird to overheat. You may also want a Bluetooth thermometer to be placed inside the carrier to accurately monitor temp. I use sensorpush, you can set temp ranges on the app and have it send a (loud) push notification to your phone when the temp goes above or below your set temp ranges.

- easily digestible food, if your bird is on pellets they may not want them when they’re sick. Keeping some fattier foods on hand (or keeping tabs on where you can get them) can be helpful in quickly engaging their appetite. This also means some birds won’t remove shells from their seeds when too sick so finding de shelled seeds or even hearty baby formulas/ recovery formulas can go a long way within the first 24hrs of treatment. Getting them eating is a hugely important problem

- types of dishes. Some sick birds don’t have good balance, a deep water bowl can be a drowning hazard. You might want to train your bird to drink out of hamster bottles or explore shallower water dishes, ones that are a bit smaller, or explore different setups in your carrier that could keep the dishes lightly raised just to head height so that falling over in to it would be very difficult to do as well as making mobility to those areas easier/ less of a tripping hazard. You’ll also want dishes that don’t tip over easily. A wet bird is an uncomfortable and more likely to get sicker bird/ potentially go in to shock.

- make sure your bird is comfortable with handling, restraint, being weighed, and taking foods from a syringe. Less stress when an actual sickness hits means more likelihood for recovery. The more elements of treatment you can prepare them for the better.

- have a good gram scale on hand (kitchen scales work, preferably down to one to two decimal points if you have a tiny bird). Birds losing weight is a big bad situation, weighing them regularly can tell you how much they’re eating, and whether or not they’re improving or worsening before symptoms change which can get them better treatment sooner.

- keep a first aid booklet nearby, consult with your vet team on what to do, what to look out for, bird cpr, emergency 24hr vet numbers. Ask them every single question you have before you leave. Take notes, better to be as prepared as possible and know what Bad and Worse look like rather than guessing

- familiarize yourself with crop feeding. If you don’t have a 24hr avian vet and your bird refuses to eat you’ll likely need to force feed them. If that’s needed your vet /should/ take the time to show you how to do it. Make sure you have the needed syringes and nozzles at home and are familiar with how to use everything.

I think that covers just about everything, keep tabs on the notes though if I’m missed something hopefully some folks will add on!

As always call your vet team and ask, if it’s not super busy you can just talk over the phone about setting up a hospital cage at home and they should be able to give you some accurate tips and pointers. You can also ask if your vet provides pet first aid booklets for birds, most don’t have them on hand but if they’re certified through the AAV there is a file for AAV members they /might/ be able to print out for you

Put The Cruxite Dowel Back In The Box

(page 394-400)

400 pages!! What's next, 500? Dare I say 600? Given that we've had a few interactive pages recently that can't be easy to make, it's amazing that Homestuck is hitting these numbers already.

The past 16 pages have very quickly flicked back and forth between John and Rose, and by extension, between video games and real life. John's fully inside Sburb, in what we can probably think of as another dimension, while Rose is very much on earth. Because John is still in his house, it's really easy to forget how separated he is from the world. This rapid back and forth really reflects the constantly online + video game logic of their lives more generally. They are extremely used to crossing these boundaries, going from their daily efforts to navigate their physical houses and strife with their parents, to their Pesterchum conversations and the various other games that are part of their lies.

Another big theme in this section is Rose and John figuring things out on their own. John had Rose to walk him through the Sburb 'tutorial level', but he's no longer getting explicit instructions. The Wayward Vagabond, the Data Structures for Assholes book, and we as the reader are all giving him some information on winning his first Sburban Strife, but he's doing some of the work putting all those pieces together. I guess that can happen when you have a very steep learning curve and no time to process the traumatic things happening to you.

On Rose's end, I'm reading too much into her leaving the W stuck to the generator. A plastic fridge magnet is a kids' toy, so this is her putting away childish things, and no longer allowing herself the luxury of being silly like on p.370. But it's also a symbol of Rose's cold war with her mom, so she's walking away from that petty rivalry and towards something that - in this moment - is more serious and important, towards an actual symbol of death, which is a much darker and more adult concept. And it's honestly really sad. She should be allowed to be silly, she should be allowed to take the W, she shouldn't be on her own having to handle apocalyptic disasters. Something or someone has failed her for that to be the case.

'You wonder if your mother has any plans to have [the transformer] fixed. You guess she'd rather just play her mind games in a dark house like a weirdo.' Coming a couple pages before the W incident, I love this line. Because it is 100% reasonable that fixing the electricity is not top priority, or even possible, in the middle of a meteor shower/forest fire. But I think it's a very relatable teen emotion to dislike someone for a valid reason and then to criticize every single action they take, justified or otherwise.

I had a lot of fun with John's strife on p.397 - even when I realized it was unwinnable, I played it a few more times just cause I liked it. The controls are smooth, the programming is good, the hammer bonk noise is really satisfying. It's also interesting how the shale imp - unlike John - doesn't take visible physical damage, and from the way the health bar moves out of the vial, it's almost like the health bar is being attacked directly. I have no idea what this means though.

Even more interesting is how we can deplete exactly half of the shale imp's health with the hammer's handle, and no more. Then, when we weaponize John's sylladex on p.400, the imp is easily able to parry all of the objects except for the hammer head, which instantly depletes the other half of its health. Weaponizing a sylladex might be possible to smash a window or even to strife with Dad, but it doesn't seem to work in game. Only John's One True Chosen Weapon is effective here.

Finally, John gets some loot!!!! 32 units of build grist, good for 16 perfectly generic objects, and 10 units of shale. Looking back at p.157, that means when Rose is back online, she can deploy the Punch Designix, which... designs punch cards? This could finally be a chance to experiment with alchemy mechanics!

(Tumblr Keeps eating my post ( ´△｀))

A single page update but another interactive one!

Ive replayed the sequence a good handful of times, its just so fun. John finally uses his learning to good use. All but the towel, which floats gracefully between them, are parried by the imp. The Cruxtruder dowel is the only thing that actually bounces back and hits John.

What happens next is arguably the best sequence of events. Somehow! John runs UP the side of the screen, jumps off, does a youth roll BACKWARDS and recaptchas the PDA.

On landing, the hammer head is ejected and hits the imp head on causing it to EXPLODE is a shower of Loot!

Its hard to see without screen recording and going frame by frame, but the health bar part of the vial is ejected and does a little spin as it blinks out of existance in a shower of purple bubbles. The vial itself closes in a similar fashion to a dialouge box closing in a video game. Little details that are very blink and you miss it.

I appreciate the knowledge that gel is the Sburb equivilant to a health potion. I wonder how much EXP (because there has to be, its a video game) John got from this strife

John is now 32 build grist and 10 shale richer.

I wanted to use this space to unload my frustration. Today my frustration level is beyond anything I had ever thought it could be. Frustration vs Stress. Which is it?

Does anyone read these blogs actually? I have a feeling I’m talking to myself.

Today I’d like to cover something that’s becoming more of a reality. I’m concerned that the next few weeks we may be more susceptible to a home invasion. With world affairs and the way it’s leaning, I think many are getting more desperate. People are getting more hungry, more unhinged and soon it will be a free for all. Maybe not in two weeks but soon.

How have you fortified your home? Don’t you want to protect your family, yourself or your lifestyle? Take the time and take care of those little things that will help protect you. Here are a few ideas.

1. Fortify the front and back door with long nails or screws

2. Put up solar motion detectors outside around perimeter

3. Put duct tape in an X in your windows so if they break they won’t shatter

4. Sandbag your windows that are accessible

5. Put dowels in windows, leave no room to get it

6. Put bars over windows if possible

7. Get a fire extinguisher for possible fires inside and out

8. Get protection immediately (yes I mean pew pew)

9. Make sure you have a first aid bag fully stocked

10. Put in a battery operated security system

ok so here’s what the fabric looks like on the scroll frame! there is material stapled onto each of the scroll bars (the dowels at top and bottom can be “scrolled” to pull the fabric tighter) & the fabric is stitched onto that material.

i truly don’t know how im going to embroider this, it’s so detailed & silly, but I’ll figure it out or at least have fun trying . mostly im just delighted to use the scroll frame for the first time
