Homestuck/Tropes P-R: Difference between revisions

Line 17:

* [[Palmtree Panic]]: [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003330 The Land of Light and Rain], except it doesn't have palm trees. There is plenty of sand and water, though.

** [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/index.php?s=6&p=004272 The Land of Maps and Treasure] does have palm trees, though it seems to be lacking sand.

* [[Paper Thin Disguise]]: Even [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=001946 the protagonist] thinks so.

* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Even [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=001946 the protagonist] thinks so.

** [[Call Back]] joke in Act 6 when Jane [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006061 does the same thing] for the same exact reason.

* [[Parasol of Pain]]: BARBER'S BEST FRIEND, which kind of has to be seen to be believed.

* [[Parasol Parachute]]: [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/index.php?s=6&p=002556 An imp] [[Screw This I'm Outta Here|absconds]] [[No Escape but Down|off of John's roof]] via umbrella.

* [[Passive Aggressive Kombat]]: [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002288 Spoofed.]

* [[Passive-Aggressive Kombat]]: [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002288 Spoofed.]

* [[Paste Eater]]: The Wayward Vagabond compulsively eats any green things he can find. Examples include two green crayons, a chunk of radioactive material, and the Uberbunny's eye.

* [[People Jars]]: [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003671 Here.]

Line 37:

** The Post-Scratch story starts two and a half years later than the Pre-Scratch one did, and so the Post-Scratch kids are two and a half years older, meaning that the [[Running Gag]] of trying to give them a terrible name on their 13th birthday can't continue. Despite this, they look identical to the kids and trolls sizeways in their "symbolic form", though look noticeably older in "hero mode"

*** Given that the rest of the protagonists are traveling for 3 years, the Post-Scratch Kids may well end up younger than their counterparts by the time they meet.

* [[~~Poes~~ Law]]: Dave's Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff webcomic is described as "a webcomic ironically maintained through a satirical cipher" with "legions of devoted fans, most of whom are totally convinced" of his sockpuppet persona's sincerity.

* [[Poe's Law]]: Dave's Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff webcomic is described as "a webcomic ironically maintained through a satirical cipher" with "legions of devoted fans, most of whom are totally convinced" of his sockpuppet persona's sincerity.

* [[Portmanteau]]: Given the sheer number of random places and concepts requiring some form of new terminology, there are pretty much an endless assortment of these to choose from, many of which one might not even notice at first.

* [[Possession Implies Mastery]]: As soon as someone ascends to God tier, they have instant, perfect control over their powers.

Line 56:

** Jade: Unconscious Mind

** Their Act 6 counterparts also fit these roles.

* [[Pre Ass Kicking One Liner]]: [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004740 Here.]

* [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]]: [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004740 Here.]

* [[Precision F Strike]]: [[The Stoic|Rose]] and [[Genki Girl|Jade]] don't swear that often, but each lets loose an "oh fuck" after wrecking their client player's plumbing.

* [[Precision F-Strike]]: [[The Stoic|Rose]] and [[Genki Girl|Jade]] don't swear that often, but each lets loose an "oh fuck" after wrecking their client player's plumbing.

** Rose has another [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003842 here], after shit gets real for real.

** Equius, master and enforcer of blue-blooded grammatical politesse, [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004178 lets one slip.]

Line 88:

** Aradia has [[Soul Power]] from the dead and is introduced with a spectacular display of [[Mind Over Matter]]. She has a little bit of [[Mind Control]] and speaks with ominous certainty about the future of the game. It gives her a Ouija FETCH MODUS.

** Feferi's lusus is a horrorterror that threatens to emit a psychic shockwave that will kill all trolls. Black King gained this power through prototyping.

** [[Psychic Block Defense]]: Vriska informs us that it's hard for her to dominate other psychics and the strong minded; so Aradia and Terezi are out. She consequently controls Sollux whose vision ''two''fold is apparently fair game ''half'' the time into killing one and Tavros into indirectly blinding the other. So two of her three greatest displays of power have been on a fellow psychic; Tavros must just be really [[Weak Willed]].

So two of her three greatest displays of power have been on a fellow psychic; Tavros must just be really [[Weak-Willed]].

*** [[Word of God]] is that higher blood castes have much greater psychic resistance, but virtually no psychic powers. Tavros is low caste, so he's a relatively easy pushover.

** Gamzee's bloodline, [http://www.formspring.me/mspadventures/q/224748966091191082 according to] [[Word of God]], can plant ideas into the subconscious minds of trolls lower on the hemospectrum. ''All'' of the trolls. The system is kept in order because of psychic influences on nearly all of the population.

Line 112:

** [[It Got Worse]]. After the fourth prototyping, Jack's [[Mooks]] are reality warpers as well! [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004901 Just look!]

** And then it got better again, as Jade ascended through Jadesprite (which apparently counts as living dream self) to the [[Fan Nickname|Dog Tier]], demonstrating reality warping on a whole new scale.

* [[The Reason You Suck Speech]]: Karkat is [[Running Gag|simply the best there is]] at these. He gives one to John in Act 5.2 that almost completely justifies his hatred and vitriol at John up to that point.

* [[Recap Episode]]: [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003574 One] immediately after the one-year anniversary update, and [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003888 another] a bit after the end of Act 4. Complete with [[Word of God|Hussie]] himself [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]].

** We get a [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005138 third one] in Act 5 Part 2. ''In white text''.

Line 136:

* [[Richard Nixon the Used Car Salesman]]: Future Presidents [[Insane Clown Posse|Jay and Dope]], and U.S. Supreme Court Justice [[Food Network|Guy Fieri]].

{{quote| <code>{{color|orange|TT:The founding fathers warned us about this, but nobody listened.}}</code> }}

* [[A Riddle Wrapped in A Mystery Inside An Enigma]]: WV comments to himself that women are "a riddle draped in a mystery wrapped in [[Bread Eggs Milk Squick|post-apocalyptic shroudwear.]]"

* [[A Riddle Wrapped in A Mystery Inside An Enigma]]: WV comments to himself that women are "a riddle draped in a mystery wrapped in [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|post-apocalyptic shroudwear.]]"

* [[Right Hand Attack Dog]]: The Lusii.

* [[Right-Hand Attack Dog]]: The Lusii.

* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: The infamous FLARP incident and the appropriately titled '''[S] Make Her Pay.'''

** And after her mother's death, Rose goes off on one too.

Line 152:

* [[Rube Goldberg Device]]: The alchemization system. Captchalogue cards have 6 bit 8 character item codes on the back. The punch designix allows one to punch an item code into a captchalogue card. The totem lathe reads punched cards, translates the codes and carves them into cruxite dowels produced by the cruxtruder. Finally, the alchemiter scans the item code off of the carved cruxite dowel to create the item. Items can be combined, which requires either stacking the cards or combining the binary item codes in various ways. Averted once the alchemiter's been upgraded with a jumper extension, holopad and integrated punch designix.

* [[Rule of Animation Conservation]]: Flash is used for a) exposition via walkarounds in which one interacts with the environment, b) minigames, c) atmospheric detail via music or sound, or d) epic cinematic moments. Andrew seems to like the last usage best; as of late the other three types of flashpages have been greatly reduced. Simple .gif animation, on the other hand, is so common it's not even worth mentioning anymore (unlike in the early days of Problem Sleuth).

* [[Rule ~~Thirty Four~~]]: Naturally exists as with every series, despite efforts to the contrary by forum admins due to the ages of the main characters. However it bears mentioning that the response time is down to mere ''hours'' after an update, and the known speed record is ''ten minutes''.

* [[Rule 34]]: Naturally exists as with every series, despite efforts to the contrary by forum admins due to the ages of the main characters. However it bears mentioning that the response time is down to mere ''hours'' after an update, and the known speed record is ''ten minutes''.

** Bro Strider runs an extremely lucrative smuppet porn site.

** The caliginous quadrant and trolls' attitudes towards buckets seem like this from a human perspective.

*** After learning that trolls consider buckets obscene, [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004642 Dave makes Terezi a Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff style comic], portraying [[Head Tiltingly Kinky|Terezi falling into the Kool-Aid Man's pitcher]].

** Monosexuality seems like this and / or [[Selective Squick]] from a troll perspective. In [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004528 this conversation], John [[You're Not My Type|explains]] the concept of [[Incompatible Orientation]] to Karkat:

Line 174:

{{quote| "the answer is two" ... "you're welcome, internet, for all the terrible art that joke answer will be responsible for".}}

* [[Running Gag]]: Too many to list. Just [http://mspaintadventures.wikia.com/wiki/Ongoing_Gags#Homestuck_Gags go here], or we could be here all day...

* [[Right Hand Cat]]: The Condescension has one. {{spoiler|It is unknown whether G-Cat is willingly helping the Condesce, if he is helping her as part of a bigger plan, or if he is being manipulated.}}
