Uh... It seems Snoop Dogg is a Homestuck fan. He even tetweeted this. I think that first link might not be NSFW, there is a warning for me so I didn't bother to check it. Also this was commented on the TVTropes forum, just sharing with you guys.

According to dictionary.com, Dirk is a kind of sword. Something that would fit in bladekind. Is this Fridge Logic or what?

No, it's a specific naming choice. That just so happens to be old news to anyone who read The Long Patrol. :P

Nitpicking here, but it's actually a kind of dagger. But yeah could be deliberate. :)

The others aren't all so apt, though, which makes me question whether it's a theme. A quick investigation via some probably-not-entirely-accurate websites shows me that Roxy is a diminutive of Roxana, meaning 'bright', or 'dawn'. Jane is a feminine form of John (which kinds makes sense) and both mean 'God is gracious', and Jake is either a form of Jack or Jacob, which means it could mean "holder of the heel" or "supplanter".

Jade and Rose are both obvious, and Dave got luckiest, I feel. His obviously from David, and means beloved... I wonder if Dirk knew that.

No, the pun is "Dogs and cats", or rather "Doggs and cats"

I saw the fantrolls: Oh hey, these must be the fantrolls!

I clickled the link to the next page: OMG, ROFL!

Seriously, I laughed way too hard at it.

EDIT: Music for the fantrolls (I'm also instantly liking that tumblr because of the Pkmn in the background)

Well... Gamzee's moral got even weirder. Is he evil or what? And he took care of baby LE. That is... A thing...

Also, recent Sadstuck: www.youtube.com/watch?&v=o7ndvbzx1HM

I'm beginning to think this fandom's hardwired to find the most depressing subtext they can...

Now, you know that the moment Aranea said Leprechaun Romance, the whole world facepalmed and groaned with despair. And when they saw the charms... well, let's just say Vriska's my favorite character now.

Eh, she's just saying what the majority of the fandom was thinking.

On a different note, I kinda hope Hussie revisits the comic some time after he finishes and rewrites it to fix the pacing issues a bit. The infodumps are starting to feel a bit gratuitous now.

Never in my life did I think I would say the words, "THANK you, Vriska!" out loud.
