@Outlastsheep > baxe999: that's what a tunneler would say >:| ARREST HIM!
baxe999 > Oh nooo
* Outlastsheep runs at baxe999 with some cheese on a stick and proceeds to beat him with it.
@Outlastsheep > HELP ME, NINEDRAGON.
@Outlastsheep > BEAT HIM WITH THE POWER OF CHEESE- What am I doing.
+ninedragon > we get a lot of people asking for tunnels that are in cuba, china, thailand, etc that have severly restricted countri- lol
* baxe999 simply... eats the cheese
* Outlastsheep stares at baxe999
* Outlastsheep STARES.
* ninedragon wonders what type of cheese
* baxe999 stairs
* ninedragon wants the cheese now
baxe999 > I warned you about those stairs bro
+ninedragon > lol
* Outlastsheep yells "You know what kind of cheese? IN-YOUR-FACE-CHEESE." and throws a cheesebomb in ninedragon's face.
@Outlastsheep > baxe999:....................................................................HOMESTUUUUUUUUUCK
* Outlastsheep grabs a suitcase and runs away
baxe999 > Outlastsheep: You know homestuck?
@Outlastsheep > This place has been infected with homestuck. I'm off :D
@Outlastsheep > baxe999: I do, I stopped halfway through because... Meh.
@Outlastsheep > I have my criticisms.
baxe999 > Outlastsheep: Same...
@Outlastsheep > First of all; the Troll's text is UNREADABLE.
@Outlastsheep > I swear I could feel my eyes bleeding at the stupidity of the typing + the dialog.
baxe999 > Most of my friends read it, and I was like, me why not
baxe999 > Outlastsheep: I wrote a javascript plugin to fix it
@Outlastsheep > They use unneedably complicated/weird words.
@Outlastsheep > baxe999: omg I would need that.
@Outlastsheep > And everything became just too much of a mindfuck.
baxe999 > Outlastsheep: It was complicated
@Outlastsheep > Jumping back and forth through the time line, sylladexes with aetheric magic worlds.
@Outlastsheep > PARADOX CLONES.
@Outlastsheep > The name itself already says "I'm going to get horribly weird and awkward and complicated." > PARADOX CLONES.
@Outlastsheep > baxe999: Ugh, and just halfway I started learning how to code.
@Outlastsheep > So I couldn'tt be bothered with Homestuck and just typed away happily at my keyboard.
Let's take the most relevant out.

I think Terezi, Sollux, and Feferi are honestly the hardest to get used to. Leetspeak, )-( and ---E, bluh. But I mean really, most of their quirks are super easy. I mean, Karkat, Aradia, Tavros, Kanaya, and Gamzee require little to no thought to understand. Nepeta, Equius, and Eridan didn't make that list only because of the occasional confusing pun, and Vriska because of her tendency to pepper her words with 8s when she gets agitated. Gamzee might be a little dizzying bEcAuSe YoU kNoW, same wITH, uH, tAVROS,, but honestly most of them are a piece of cake. Even 2ollux ii2n't really that hard two under2tand, nor is F--Ef--Eri, tbh. T3R3Z1 1S S1MPLY TH3 WORST TH3R3 1S. 4ND ONC3 YOU G3T US3D TO H3R, YOU C4N UND3RST4ND B4SIC4LLY 3V3RYTH1NG.

The complicated/weird words are just a part of the writing style/characters' personalities, and honestly they haven't bugged me at all or kept me from enjoying it. If you've made it that far, where it's really getting done with all the exposition and launching into action, I don't see why you'd quit just because you don't like reading some typing quirks.

Can someone explain why people like drawing Feferi with a more pudgy figure
It's a given that that's adorable but canon art seems to show the opposite??
A lot of "canon art" isn't actually canon, since a lot of it isn't actually drawn by Hussie.
There's plenty of contradicting facts within guest art.

Hussie purposely made all the characters very open to interpretation, skin color, figure, etc.

Black Dave is just as canon as white Dave.

>just implies Dave's bro is white-skinned (as if either of them know anything about their lineage) in a throw-away line
Still don't see why black Dave can't be a thing

Plenty of light skinned parents have really dark skinned children (there's documented cases of white-skinned children [not albino!] being born to black parents, though rare)
