Toony Should Upload his whole collection in in 100mb increments. That'd be crazy.

[Duke 2.0]

 I really should save some of these things. It'll just be a two gig folder because I organize terrible, but whatever.

Well, pretty much everything I have is uploaded to Photoshop, Mediafire, and Dropbox.  I guess I'll give links.
Photoshop
Mediafire
and I don't know how to share my Dropbox ones.

Ooh, thankee kindly <3

[ed boy]

The mediafire link is acting up for me.

That's what mine was, before I transferred to my computer.  I never altered the folder settings, so the whole folder was arranged in the order the files were saved.  It wasn't the most efficient system, but I liked it, because I fear change.  Now I have that folder all out of order, labeled "homestuck" and a new folder labeled "morehomestuck".

Of course, if I saved absolutely everything, that folder would be huge.  I have this naive idea that I can just find the old imagedumps in this thread.  So, thanks for the links Toony.

Wait, PREQUEL led to Tavros being handicapped?  Or his having crippling self-doubt?

Huh.  I just finished reading through it, and I can't say I'm disappointed or something, but it is kind of hard to read.  Especially because a lot of the self-defeatist suggestions hit a bit too close to home.

EDIT: I mean, I've literally been told "if that's your best, then you're retarded."  It's kind of sickening to see the readers getting involved like that.

Wait, what?  What did you read?  I think the crippling self-doubt was there his entire life, he finally gets over it right before Vriska stabs him to death.

That said, I may or may not be able to mollify your problem, but it ain't easy.  For one, bear in mind the context that Tavros isn't human - Vriska's big monologue about why she treated him that way was because she knew he'd never survive if he didn't toughen up.

But both the outrageously coldhearted way she tried to "help" him, and Tavros' mortal attempt to challenge her, are one of the comic's big underlying themes.  Sometimes, your best just isn't good enough.

I thought the Prequel /Cripple boy connection was that the prequel artist drew a handicap Tavros before he had actually been revealed, and Hussie canonized it?

If you go deep into looking for fanart you'll eventually run across something called Fandom Secrets they tried on their forums. Fans would give the OP of the thread their secrets and they would post it anonymously. Sometimes there would be heart-touching shows of how much the story has helped people, but most of the time it would be terrible trolling. It is several times worse than those suggestions for several and every reason.

Yeah, that PREQUEL thing is some story done by the same artist who influenced Tavros being paralyzed. They're not related at all, since Tavros being paralyzed predates this PREQUEL story by several months.

And yeah, it's the most depressing fucking thing I've ever read. My schadenfreude burnt itself out halfway through, and I thought I'd never run out of that.

Whoakay, I'm glad I don't relate to any of the characters that much.

Yeah, I've seen that for other fandoms.  Mostly, it devolved into the most disgusting ship wars over there--and the "cute" stuff was all about falling in love with whoever they were roleplaying with.  I'm really sad that the stuff for MSPA was even worse than that, though...


@ Clarifiers: Ah-ha, okay.  Thanks for that.  I was wondering about that... "Wait, where are the trolls in this again?"

[sonerohi]

The one about pretending that my conscience is WV? Totally can't stop that. It is like monologuing in Morgan Freeman.

[ToonyMan]

Wahahaaa.

[FuzzyZergling]

I think it's been there a few hours.

Anybody think there's a pun/callback somewhere in Pyralspite?
