Small change in that after some advice and research I’ve edited my previous log regarding how to access Homestuck. The sort answer is do not use the old website, use this instead tutorial on mspfa. If you used the website last time, no worries we haven't reached any pages that will be affected yet.

Today I’m reading

04/14/09 - "John: Read note on drawer.” (/homestuck/12) to 04/14/09 - "John: Examine Deep Impact poster.. (homestuck/21)"

Select this thingy to read my commentaryJohn observes a note from his father, stating he is proud of John and wishing him a happy birthday. Damn that's just an injection of wholesome into the soul. It also mentions the card itself smells of “fatherly aftershave”. Mr. Pooplord seems like a classy guy.

The next few pages are just a challenge of picking up a hammer and some nails like 3 feet away. It seems Andrew was showing the audience how John stack SYLLADEX will cause stuff to violently fly out of his inventory when too many items are collected. Though I did enjoy poor John getting slapped out by a pair of fake arms. It also demonstrates the item merging ability.

Finally we hang the poster gift from Johns father for the 1989 film little monsters. I would have been about 2 years old when that one came out so I have no idea what this is about.

So let’s take a quick peek at that. I won’t actually be watching this movie, I don't know how to do piracy. But let's just look at the plot on wiki for relevant parawells.

Brian Stevenson, an 11-year-old boy, and his family has just moved to suburban Boston, and he feels isolated in his new neighborhood.

Brian sets booby traps, and leaves cheese Doritos as bait to attract the alleged "monster."

Maurice and Brian have fun making mischief in other people's homes (you might say he’s a “prankster”)

Some interesting parawells If anyone has bothered to actually watch this please share anything I am missing here?

Then we look at the Con Air Poster. Now this one I know, it’s a masterpiece. Is it related to the plot of Homestuck? Well It DAMN WELL WILL BE! At least the bunny in the box scene. Fortunately, this newer system links the relevant scene from the movie for us. And that is probably the only part of the move you actually need to know.

(Though I still recommend watching Con Air, it beautiful)

Ok last page for today John: Examine Deep Impact poster. Clearly John is a man of amazing taste. I think I've only seen this one once as it came out too close to Armageddon which had a similar plot and was just better. But John provides us with some FOREBODING message about “Films about impending apocalypse fascinate you” real subtle.

So again we leave off with John looking at posters in his room.


Till tomorrow, Keep riding the pumpkin tide.

No problem. I was about 20 days in when I was officially diagnosed with autism. 😅 Turns out this is just a good use of my superpower. I am very much enjoying this.
