(Whoops, meant to post this earlier, but then I took a nap that ended up lasting until this morning. I guess I probably should have gotten more sleep earlier in the week.)
Hmm, could the fact that the classical-element associations aren't all that significant be a spoiler? Actually, wait, has she even mentioned those? I… don't think she has. But she's probably gotten far enough that it's OK to tell her about it; it looks like she's seen most of the evidence mentioned on the wiki page. And I guess if she hasn't noticed it, it's probably not as big a deal that it doesn't really come up in-story.
WITHOUT YOU
I WANNA KNOW
(so good on my eardrums!)
Wait, he hasn't? I find that kinda hard to believe.
Oh wait, there is this Formspring question, at least.
Though it seems like it's less that he hasn't seen it, so much as that he just hasn't ever watched it all the way through (at least at that point in time).
There's also this question, where he says that he "always watches it hypnotically whenever it comes on tv."
Haha, I wouldn't think so, given how reluctant she was to do audio reacts at first, but who knows?
I think I'm going to take about the last sentence about [S] Descend, because… hmmm. I guess it wouldn't necessarily indicate that this wasn't actually the EOA, and… I don't remember if my policy was to censor flash names before she gets to them? I do kinda think that's a good idea, though.
(I think the chronology might actually suggest that it's April 14th at this point, but then again, the Incipisphere kinda wreaks havoc with timezones and all that, so whatever. :P)
(Not related to the question, but I guess at some point I should start cropping out your avatar, shouldn't I? Once Lobac gets to the troll romance section, it'll become, if not outright spoilery, at least pretty close. And just starting to crop it out once she gets to that point could be pretty suspicious, too. I guess I might as well just start now, then.)
Hmmm, I feel like that first part is rather spoilery with respect to the fake EOA thing… how about this:
Hmmm, I guess that Dave outfit in the first one is kinda spoilery… but then again, it's just an outfit, so maybe it doesn't really matter?
And I guess Mutie being with Mom could also be a minor spoiler… hmmm, though this page and the next kinda hint at it too. Still, I don't know if Lobac has considered the possibility that Mutie will be one of the things that go back with the babies, so I'll wait until after Descend for that.
With all the stuff about audio-reacting to pages after the flash and the next flash after this one, I'm hoping that, once she gets to the "END OF ACT 4" page, she'll put it down to there being pages between Act 4 and Act 5, perhaps thinking that the other flash is the start of Act 5. So hopefully it'll be fine.
Hmmm, should I send both of these? I'm sorta worried that the second one could spoil the EOA psycheout…
Heh, I'm kinda tempted to just send the first one :P
and then I guess the second one afterwards, for clarification.
Or I could just not send either of them, since there are plenty of other people telling her to do audio reacts. That's probably the easiest option.
I'd like to avoid telling Lobac about the whole nested act/intermission thing, so I'll take out that last bit. So something like this, I guess:
And we could just send her the individual posts / download pages… though, huh, John's and Jade's fonts have their god-tier symbols in them. I guess John's isn't really spoilery, since it's in Lobac's avatar anyway, and she's apparently already seen the Space symbol at cons and associated it with Jade, so perhaps that would be OK too? But it still feels sorta spoilery. I dunno, it'll probably be fine.
Of the individual posts, Jade's is definitely spoilery, since Lobac hasn't seen that letter yet, plus it mentions Jake and Dirk. John's mentions the "BREATHE SYMBOL" and that there are 5 or 6 fonts to make, but I guess neither of those is really all that spoilery. The last bit of the little example text in Rose's post seems more like Roxy to me, but I don't know if that's really spoilery as such, or just sorta weird. And Dave's looks to be completely spoiler-free, save the notes.
So… I dunno, I kinda want to just link to the download pages, just to be safe. Maybe I'll do that, I'm not really sure.
The impression I got was that it started as a joke, then lead to the whole theory that everyone grew up with the wrong parents (and thus, I guess, the right parents would be their ectobiological parents), and based on the assumption that John and Jade were siblings, she ended up with Nanna and Bro as Rose's and Dave's parents.
I dunno, should I send this anyway, to make sure I'm not just completely off-base or whatever, or should I not bother?
I dunno, I'm pretty sure there are things Bloggery's guessed that Lobac hasn't. (Besides, I don't think liveblogs are really the best way to do a reread; they don't cover everything. :P)
Is this spoilery? I dunno, maybe… then again, I guess there isn't much she could get from it. Yeah, it's probably fine.
Being all proud and about to go mad with power and stuff and oh my god this is the song that accompanies Dad’s room isn’t it.
Just not, apparently, at an "actual dramatic moment".
I dunno, should I send these anyway?
Hmmm, we haven't asked Lobac whether she'd prefer to hear the albums once she gets to when they were released or after she's seen all the flashes with music from that album, have we? I guess that's a good idea.
Well, there is the Sord..... in the picture used, so it would be best to send just the audio somehow. I tried to make a tubedub of it, but I've never been able to get those to work; it just says "Loading…" seemingly indefinitely. I guess I could just give her the Youtube link and ask her not to look at it (since Youtube auto-plays it, but polsy doesn't).
Also I guess it could be a spoiler that Charles Dutton becomes significant in Homestuck?

Oh wow, haha :D
(For anyone who's curious about the gory details, though, I believe this has most of them.)
Eh, that was released in 2011, and the track art is pretty spoilery.
Well, I can use polsy to get rid of the comments & related videos, if that's what you're talking about. :)
I guess this isn't spoilery; it's just a detail she doesn't seem to have noticed.
Incidentally, Andrew has explained why it's like that. I guess I'll send that explanation as well (copied and pasted so she doesn't see the avatar, of course).

I'm thinking I'll go with this instead (reblogged to remove the spoilery tags).
