By the way, on the topic of the trolls, I think it's hilarious how far we've come with them. They started out seeming minor characters that just seemed like they were being jerks for the hell of it - I would never have guessed the dude yelling at John in all caps in the first act would later turn into my favorite character. Homestuck really has a way of turning little things into big things later though. Now the trolls almost feel like the main characters.
I started just as 5.1 began and caught up just in time for Terezi to be formally introduced. Which was amazing because she was already my favorite character by then.

I never said I had no issue, as I do acknowledge the act is kinda dragging on a bit. I was an archival reader up until Februaryish, i forget the exact page, but yeah...some form of pause for the eventual archival reader would be nice. *grumbles at the week long pause for now*
As we agree, it is a minor thing. Still, the whole thing is homestuck, and an inserted break would not change much because if you are an archival reader, you'll plow through the act divisions anyway. I found when reading that if I hit too many pesterlogs, a little break before returning to them was good for the eyes/brain, especially late at night >_>;;
I wonder what will happen once homestuck is finished ._.
IT WILL NEVER FINISH ;_;

I remember reading that Andrew was initially unsure about whether we'd actually see the trolls at all. Like, they could've just been confined to pesterlogs with the kids.

Terezi superior. Then Vriska, Jack/Slick, Karkat, and Dave.

More evidence that you're bad person who likes bad things.
HOW DARE I HAVE A UNIQUE OPINION Seriously, I'm not flipping out over how many of y'all like Vriska, even though she's easily my least favorite character in Homestuck. Grow up.

I like Vriska more than Terezi.

I'm glad there's at least some salamander appreciation. There needs to be more of it. The consorts are my favorite characters, they're f***ing hilarious. I wish we would see more of Rose's and hopefully we'll see more of Jade's.

Man, who cares about how terrible Vriska is? At least she does things, which give people something to like? Sollux does slightly more than Feferi, which still means he did nothing. Liking is like liking one of the random imps that invaded John's house, only worse because at least the imps didn't have that most horrible typing quirk.

Some people like things.
Don't get your panties in a bunch.

Virtually every character in this thing has some merit, by virtue of being in this thing if nothing else. Sure, some are more awesome than others, but that only highlights the awesomeness of the awesomest. That the awesome and not awesome vary between everyone does nothing to diminish this opinion.
Appreciate homestuck in its entirety, not just the tidbits here and there you happen to agree with :p
Though, I think most of us do this anyway and just enjoy quibbling with semantics >_>;;
And for the ever changing record...Scratch, Vriska, Terezi, Karkat, Nepeta in a very rough order mostly influenced by more recent events. Tomorrow's top 5? Who could say o_o

Viktor Vaughn posted... what kind of fandom would we be if we did not argue over dumb things and hurl vitriol over character preferences
a terrible fandom
And what kind of Semi would I be if I didn't bust MWIS's balls over everything?
The kind of Semi that lets MWIS get off with listing Sollux in his top 5 scot-free. A terrible Semi. No one would want to live in a world with that kind of Semi.

Personally, I can't really see putting Sollux in top 5 or bottom 5. He's done so little in the story, despite seeming like one of the more important trolls in very early Act 5-1. I tend to ignore judging underdeveloped and underutilized characters in the midst of an ongoing storyline.
