Oh my god when I saw this URL, little cherubs played harps and serenaded about my head

Oh really now?

Poor mod a *paps the other one's head*

Who are you calling mod a, punk? I identify as the other one and I am offended.

/offended eyes at you

-the other one

That one anon is right, your personalities totally fit into those categories. Spot on.

Ugh

I like Jade but, really?
Ok.

-Mod F

————–

I’m just going to say that as far as my segment of this comparison goes

I’m good with it.  Though I half speculate that my likeness to Sollux is heavily dependent on the fact that he is the icon on my personal tumblog.

-the other one

yknow a lot of these facts arent really what this blog is about. it's completely irrelevant to the comic whether terezi wears shoes while she sleeps, or what photo hussie used for jade's gun. these are actual things that are relevant to the plot line or just small things that are important that you might have forgotten you know?

Thank you for your wisdom, o’ Great One.  Clearly you know better than us what this blog is about with your slightly ambiguous message, shrouded by the security blanket of anonymity.  A shrine should be erected in your honour for gathering up the generosity to inform us of our folly.  I wipe the egg off my face and salute your towering understanding of relevancy. 

But in all seriousness, some of the facts that you have flagged as irrelevant maintain their place on this blog nonetheless.  Others may refer to them for reasons other than yours.  While one person browses this blog for plot-related information they may have missed, another may be looking for humourous things to include in a roleplay.  And other reasons yet.  Denying facts that are not plot-related would potentially rob a person of some interesting tidbit of knowledge that they may have fun musing over.

Furthermore, this blog is for fun.  Getting all seriousface about Homestuck is… kind of stupid.  It is a webcomic.  On the internet.  In which a lot of stupid extraneous shit takes place.  While I enjoy the plot of Homestuck, I also enjoy the weird, pointless antics that go down irrelevant to Large Overarching Plot shenanigans.  So if someone wants to submit a fact about Terezi’s shoe-status, who the fuck am I to decide that that’s “irrelevant” to Homestuck?  That is not an authority that I am in any position to hold.  And, you know, it’s all part of the goddamn fun.

Intense respect for that fucking awesome slam.

Well thank you.

- the other one

nooooooooooo that last fact was the same as my fact! does my submission get deleted now? ;_;

Yours was actually already posted.  The most recent one is a re-post of the fact.

There are three people running this blog, sometimes things wiggle in through the cracks.

-the other one

You have a point about not dismissing anything as "irrelevant to the comic", but Anon has a point too: if this blog is called "Forgotten HS Facts", the *facts* should be things that were known some time ago, but then were *forgotten*. The blog isn't called "Facts you never knew about HS" or "Assorted HS facts". No one has the right to tell you people what to post, but consistency tends to be desirable.

True, but we now enter the realm of debating what exactly constitutes a “fact”.  A debate, which can be extended indefinitely, and even if we were to come to some solution, this is not exactly the forum in which such analysis would be appropriate.

So, while I do not hold any sort of jurisdiction over said realm of discussion, I do hold a certain power over this blog, along with Mod F and Mod L.  That power being what gets posted.  

And a certain power also goes to the mass population of submitters, because that is a large part of what helps this blog run.  So *someone* obviously thinks that each fact is worth a second look, and took the time to create a post for it, whether it be a submitter, or one of the mods.

Just curious... Is "the other one" a Discworld reference? Regarding a coven of witches? (Because that would be SO COOL!)

No, I’m sorry.  It’s a reference to an anon who apparently forgot the severely complex name “Mod A” and referenced me in the context “mod L, mod F, and the other one” and I thought I’d be a clever little douchebag and go by that.

-the other one

Wow are people really arguing over this. I just-- wow.

Not really.  I can see where they’re coming from, to be honest.  But I disagree.  And that’s just part of life, you know?  If everyone thought the same way about everything humanity would have probably died out already.  

People’s thoughts being challenged is vital.  Granted, in most of those exchanged no one’s mind changes.  But as far as I can see, it’s not so much an argument.  It’s an argument if you take out the negative connotation of “argument”.

-the other one

You type so much longer responses than mod F and mod L, why?!

There’s this new thing that they just discovered.  Oh man, it’s gonna blow your pants off when you hear it.  Are you ready?  No you’re not.  But I’m gonna tell you anyway.  Please try to contain yourself:

Sometimes, people are different from eachother.

CRAZY, RIGHT?!? I didn’t believe it when I first heard it.  But now the whole world is starting to make more sense!  Gosh, I feel so foolish for having gone around most of my life thinking that everyone was identical to everyone else. 

-the other one

The double spacing at the beginning of sentences doesn't really help the length thing

I can put double spaces after a full stop if I so please.  The ‘length thing’ is not a problem that needs to be helped.  I am perfectly content with the voluminosity of my replies.

-the other one

Andrew why are you such a weirdo?

Are you lost?

-the other one

Can I just take this moment to say that I love how sassy The Other One is, because I do. You're awesome. ^^

Thanks!

I’m sure you’re pretty awesome as well.  I mean, that’s mostly speculation because I know nothing about you.  But you like that I’m sassy, so my speculation is by no means baseless.

-the other one

Why can't people just appreciate that y'all created this blog omg I like all the facts a lot and even the "unimportant" ones are pretty fun little tidbits. People need to quit whining.

Your kind words are appreciated.

And, on this note, I will not be posting any more asks regarding the irrelevancy issue at this time.

Thank you all for you patience, please watch your step as you exit the vehicle.  

-the other one

Wow, disregarding basic writing rules. That is so hardcore and edgy! You are an inspiration, truly.

Yeah because CLEARLY it’s not one of those ‘whichever you want is fine’ things.  Clearly.

-the other one

You should change your name to the sassy one, instead of the other one.

I do not believe that to be the will of the Prophets.  

-the other one

Why is your blog getting so much shit. I love your blog.

And it loves you too.

-the other one

Are you on a typewriter? No? Then it isn't. You just look like your space bar is broken.

Oh, have I offended you with my personal typing choices?  I’m so sorry.  But you’ll just have to put your grown-up pants on and suck it the fuck up.

-the other one

Actually the prophets would very like that name change!!

Well tough, because I’m not Bajoran.  The wormhole aliens do not govern my name choices.

[And with this, I bid you all farewell.]

So we’re all going to get to wittness the extent of my lazyness: here’s a picture I drew two months ago because I don’t feel like drawing right now and this is my only picture of Sollux.

The only downside of sleeping until 4PM is that I miss out on doing things like this in a timely manner.

Check it yo.
