Well, the two main ways to send stuff to her directly are fanmail or reblogs; she’s also got asks open on her GTA sideblog, but sending links via ask is rather unreliable.

Yeah, I think the context helps defuse the creepiness of that ask a bit.

Well, she doesn't necessarily say that they're the consorts…

GC: F1RST YOU GO THROUGH TH3 G4T3 GC: 4ND WH3N YOU GO THROUGH YOU W1LL GO TO 4NOTHER PL4C3 1N YOUR W1LD CH3RRY L4V4 L4ND GC: 4ND YOU W1LL QU1CKLY M33T SOM3 FR13NDLY CROCOD1L3S GC: TH3Y W1LL TRY TO 34T YOU GC: BUT TH4T 1S JUST TH31R W4Y OF B31NG FR13NDLY! GC: YOU SHOULDNT B3 SC4R3D

So… I dunno, that does sound like she's talking about consorts I guess, but I don't know if that's what Lobac got from it.

hahaha

But yeah… Wow. Only one update left in Homestuck.

You know, the funny thing about these asks saying "you might have a chance to catch up now" is

It will go faster.

This bit of the new newspost is spoilery, though:

Need to finish A663 through A666, and then A7. Keep in mind that these sub acts can be literally any length, even one page.

Looks like a number of people have given her the gist of it, though. So I guess I could send this with just the first sentence?

Woah hey, that reminded me of Lobac saying "What the hell is up with that recuperaccoon? Is he just preparing for the day when he actually splits in two?", and I realized: That actually happened, didn't it? With Erisol and the living Sollux in the dream bubbles? Hahahahaha, I'm putting that in the time capsule. :D

I'd say this is definitely too much of a hint, especially the second question.

Yeah, probably.

Also, this is the context I went with for that lobac_ebooks ask:

(context: Horse_ebooks. Hussie is a fan.)

Edit: oh hey, this is my 612th post on this blog! yay milestone

[ask-lobac]

There are plenty of such moments in the comic, though! :P

I think I'm leaning towards just removing the second sentence there, I guess because… my impression was that she did essentially write it off as "more time shenanigans", but then was confused about why it needed to be pointed out?

And the wording of that first part — "why Alternia existing before Earth might be important" sorta worries me, though I'm not sure if it really should. Maybe it would be better to use the same phrase Lobac did, "their civilisation is older than ours"? So:

Though I'm not sure that I want to mess with it that much, and "Alternia existing before Earth" is a pretty direct jump from "Earth, also for convenient reference, is a planet that does not yet exist." So maybe this?

To be clear, do you want to send this immediately, or just if it becomes evident that Lobac's losing motivation because she thinks she won't see the kids for thousands of pages?

OK, I guess I'll send these after:

NOW WH4T??

The Equius/Aradia kiss

LE w/ Robohussie's head

I'm not sure about the last one? It mentioned killing off trolls and stuff… I guess just shortly before Cascade, because that's when it was posted. August 2, 2011… oh, that's back here. I'll go with that, then.

Yeah… it definitely depends on the liveblogger, though; I know Treestuck, for example, loves talking about that sort of stuff with her followers.

As for Lobac, she wants to try to figure stuff out herself, but she also want to hear about other people's thoughts/theories, so it's not entirely clear what's best.

Well, so long as that's "died again" as in "died, revived, died again" rather than "died again" as in "double died", we should be OK. :P

Nokob: Send image of crying elf.

OK, sent. Whew, you are pretty sure that was the right one. If this gets any more complicated, you just might burst into tears!

[ask-lobac]

OK, so this one?

This is all getting rather confusing!

Well, it's presumably just building off of Lobac's "…Heeeeeeeeeey, does that imply that the trolls’ reproductive cycle involves 12 people????", so I figure that should be fine. Though looking at that again, I guess it's not talking about ectobiology, is it?

…Wait, looking at the two asks about that again, neither of them are talking about ectobiology either. OK, then.

:D

Hmm, I just realized that this could be ambiguous:

I was thinking you meant the second one out of the original + the two elf pictures, but I guess it could also refer to the second elf picture specifically?

Oh yes, there it is. OK, I guess I'll send that earlier ask, then.

[ask-lobac]

Haha, OK.

Yeah, that makes sense. I'm not sure if the ask about Jade's entry would help that much, but I think I'm really most concerned about the last sentence in it, about the kids' personal quests. That's not something I'd normally really associate with entries — or at least with entries other than their own — so it sounds like it's implying that Jade's does affect them somehow. Without the last sentence, then… yeah, I think that would be OK:
