Suddenly, the door to the cockpit opened, and the pilot entered carrying a gun, seemingly making everything more boring with his presence.
'I know,' said her husband, as he read his copy of the Aeroplane Safety Booklet.
Okay, I haven't heard from Hyphero, so I'm going to assume all my cards are fine.
Cards Up My Sleeve: Play 2 extra cards this turn.
Telepathievery: I can look at a single player's deck once
(I choose donutsizzle)
Endless Rope Bridge - Terrain; Flammable: Monsters cannot move sideways unless they have the Flying subtype.

I feel the same way. I think the story really hit its stride in A5A2, and was the best part of the comic. Sadly, it appears to be going through a lull in quality ever since Act 6 began. Everything after Cascade was a bit of a letdown, honestly, especially with what Andrew did with Dirk. That really angered me.
The current Intermission is quite good, though.

((So do we submit cards via PM to be reviewed by you, or do we just post them on the thread?))
PM is a great choice, as it would keep the decks hidden.
(please don't PM me every time you play a card with your new defined card, however!)

Cheery? CHEERY?!?! Don't you realise that you're on (a website that only vaguely has to do with) FIGHUNTER, where nothing is cheery and anything anyone says or does must either be deadly serious or make everyone feel bad about something?! I'll have you reported to the internet police for this!
Except that this isn't Fighunter, so I don't actually have to do that. Thanks for the comment! :)

There is only one situation that I would say that suicide is acceptable: you know you are going to die, and very soon, and whatever way you commit suicide will be a less painful alternative to whatever way you were going to be killed. In thus situation, the person knows that nothing can prevent their death, and they have no way to impact further positively or negatively on society. Only then should suicide even be considered. If I learned that someone was considering suicide, no matter what their reason, I would try to give them support, and make sure that they were in the right emotional state to be persuaded not to commit suicide. When you're in that state of depression, you aren't able to process the most logical solution; it's just another excuse to hate yourself for considering it in the first place. You're only able to see the most cynical viewpoint on anything, so anything less positive than 'You're doing great!' is considered a personal attack.
If you know someone who is considering suicide, and you have the oppirtunity to help them but you don't, you are, in my opinion, responsible for their death. If you are not in a position, but are still aware of their difficulties, at least show some empathy and support them! That's how I see it, at least.
I've actually been affected by this already. It wouldn't be fair to publicise anyone else's problems, but when I was thirteen, I went through this depressive phase (I won't say depression, my emotions are never that strong.) where I could only see things in a negative light. I was taught that if you were a good person, you would go to Heaven, where life is better in every way. So in that state of mind, my thought processes went something like this:
Heaven = Good, good people
Me = Bad person
Bad person + Good deeds = Good person
Therefore Me + Good deeds = Heaven
I don't think that way anymore. I do good because it's the right thing to do, the best thing to do. The way I thought about it then was just me being a selfish brat. But anyway, since I was taught Talking=Good I talked to my mum about my thoughts. I just wouldn't shut up about it, it went on and on, until she basically told me to shut up.
See, that situation doesn't work. Sure, you get therapy and relief for yourself, but the other person can only take so much before they lose sympathy for you. All you learn is that nobody wants to hear you anymore. There's always someone out there willing to listen, but it's a big thing to ask of someone to be responsible for another person's happiness.
Anyway, all I took out of that situation was that Talking=Bad, therefore Me=Bad, therefore Me=Not Heaven. So I buried those feelings, refusing to acknowledge them, only that doesn't work either because if you do that, then you just make those feelings an integral part of you, leaving you more psychologically-damaged than before.
What you have to do is change the way you look at things, to see things in an optimistic way, so that what you see when you look at the world is a place you want to live in. You either laugh, or you cry. It took a lot of self-hatred, self-pity, a journey of discovery and a place where I could meet people who I had common interests with, but I learned to laugh. It wasn't the only step, but it was the first.
So yeah, that's my personal experience with it.

Huh. That's interesting. I really liked characters that seem less popular, Equius and Vriska, for example, but I'm not as fond on some of the characters that seem to be fan favourites. Feferi was too passive, I think, and she never really stood out to me. Rufioh seems more like a fandom joke than anything else. Dirk was amazing at first, but then he just kind of gave up on actually doing anything and moped around his own planet, doing nothing.
On another topic, what would you say was your favourite part of Homestuck?

The whole "troll arc". Act 5 Act 1 and Act 5 Act 2 were really the peak for me in Homestuck.The characters and interactions between them kind of took the story to a new level for me from the previous four kids out of which I only liked Dave and Rose anyway.

Oh god Spades Slick. Everything he does is just so over-the-top it's hilarious. Definitely one of my favourites! And Vriska, I always thought she was pretty cool, even if the stuff she did wasn't.
Thing is I hated Vriska's guts in the beginning and she was just another bitch to me. But she became more of a multifaceted character as time went on and ended up being actually quite likeable to me. It's almost hard to admit.

So I was wondering if anyone has read Homestuck. More importantly, did you like it, and who's your favourite character?
