Sketches and Commentary: Chapter 2, Clown Logistics


57) Two of Them.

58) If you love Vriskas, i hope you enjoy more Vriska content. If you hate Vriskas, well. Here is another one that is kind of different. Feel free to contemplate nature vs nurture and how best to apply this dichotomy toward emoting about the vriskas of your choice how you see fit.

59) Runner up nickname was VSCA. Not sure how long that social media platform will be relevant, but Vrissy’s e-girl look is sure to be timeless. Since Homestuck characters never change clothes or anything. 

“Rich Auntie Crocker” comes from me calling Jeff Bezos “Rich Uncle Jeff” to dissuade myself from purchasing any of his online wares and contributing to his hoard. It has a nice petulant, dismissive flavor to it. Feel free to pick it up.

60) Tavros being named Tavros sure was a decision. Go back and reread the commentary for panel 58 but stop before the nature/nurture thing, since they are not clones, or even the same species. They just have the same name, which, in this universe, means you at least type kind of the same.

61) Oh you wanted me to talk about vriska’s feelings about the prospect of seeing tavros? Well, sorry. That’s too complicated a thing to put in some bullshit ramble, huh.

62) Is this the first instance of a flying car since John did the windy thing and made his dad’s car fly? I guess there was a flying car in Meat, but it was more circling a black hole in a deeply thematic way. You’d think we’d have more flying cars in our sci-fi future story. On that subject, you’d think we’d have more flying cars in our science-reality. Elon Musk sending a Tesla into space doesn’t count. 

Oh yeah there’s Gamzee’s corpse too, I guess. 

63) What a hopeful, guileless face. 

64) ah,,, oh no, the guile

I deeply appreciate how Xam drew Tavros leaping back against the car while it is still in the air. 

65) Sometimes you try and come up with something to say about a page, and you cannot, and so you wait 8 hours, and go see Knives Out, and then you have 2 white russians, and then you still can’t come up with anything to say, but oh well! Commentary needs writing. Tavros is experiencing an emotion here.

66) Stay back and let him feel it. 

67) Polite and charismatic, this crew, that is what they all say.

 68) are we really supposed to say shit about every panel

469) Ah here we have our first outfit change in homestuck squared. Watch me eat my earlier words about characters not changing clothes.

70) Help me god, deliver me from commentary.

71) Here he comes, an incredible boy. Look into his eyes. This is the face of a boy who deserves to trend on twitter. 

Which he did, kicking off what we’ve dubbed The Great Boomer Catfish of 2019. I’m not sure what they thought was happening, but damn were they mad. Maybe they thought he’d risen from the dead or someone had robbed his grave. 

72) Again, direct your eyes toward the boy. What a fucking asshole. Observe how ready he is to play along with Vrissy’s bullshit. How supportive. How chic. How cool.

73) if this is the back of the school, imagine how nice the front looks. 

75) who is driving? I guess space cars are self driving. Look at Tavros riding in the back seat like a mother fuckeing gentleman. Anyway do you ever see two vriskas side by side?

76) Tavros Crocker, master of blackrom. 

77) meeting alt selves UuU

78) I love a moving plot. It’s sexy.

79) Vriska is on the move. She is in her element. A plan is happening. A clown is dead. People are following her lead. I think it is very important that Tavros is homeschooled. This is representation. He does not know what the fuck is going on and you can just tell him whatever and he will believe it.

80) Gadzooks.

81) If you don’t like hijinks, fuck you. 

82) Pokedex entry for Magneton in Pokemon Sun: When three Magnemite link together, their brains also become one. They do not become three times more intelligent.

83) Do you ever turn into a vampiric cave salamander and hiss every time you are forced to look at the light of your computer screen, showing an image of a page you can think of nothing new to say anything about? What more can you want from me, you monsters.

84) What fucking more can you possibly want. There is a dead ass in this one. 

85) As the artistic integrity degenerates, so does my capability to form words. You are paying for this and you like it. You love it actually. You should probably up your pledge.

86) This is all you fucking wanted. This is all any of us have ever wanted.

87) There is lore for these guys and you will get it when I am good and ready. Do you want their names at least? I can do that.

88) Do you love art? I love art. Also there’s 8 shits here.

89) You will experience the delight emotion alongside Vriska here. 

90) Jane is here. Wow, continuity. 

91) This is a flashback so I didn’t write this one, which means I thankfully don’t have to say anything about it. 

92) wow

93) shit

94) fuck
