Anime Detour 2014: Sburb Live!

[@sugahyung9200]

John: "Are you asking me out?!?" Karkat in the background: "I AM."

[@Cannibal-Wings]

Hey, I'm the Karkat in this panel, and over the years it's been my unofficial duty to read these comments once or twice a year and respond to any questions that pop up. I'll be copy pasting this message in all of the panels that I was in. Though I've no doubt they will get buried as new comments come in. First, I'll say that I'm always happy to see new comments, years after these panels have gone up. It's genuinely amazing to see that the fandom is still kicking around and that people can still get enjoyment from our antics, some of these panels are nearing a decade in age by now! Incredible! I'll always treasure the responses both in person and online that these panels have gained. I was, and still am, incredibly proud of the work we put into these shows. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for enjoying what we've created. The fact that during lockdown, there were comments from people saying how this brightened their day, is absolutely amazing. I'm so thankful that our jokes and skits were able to make a bad situation just a little bit better for some of you. That's something I'll never forget. Thank you. Second, I want to address that I no longer have any social media information for the majority of my costars. Even though I was incredibly close to a few of them for years, people change and as the years go on, people drift and move apart. This is no different. Many of these fine folks have moved out of social circles that I hang out in. Some of them have moved states, changed names, and abandoned social media accounts and moved without leaving updates. As I said before, some of these panels are almost a decade old! That's a long time! Most of my costars I haven't seen in person in nearly seven years. Stuff like this happens, and it's sad, but hey, that's a part of life. You meet people, you drift, you meet new people. While I might not have answers to where my costars have gone, or how to reach them, and I might not be in the fandom anymore, I'll still try to field some questions that pertain to the panels themselves. (as long as I can remember!) If for some reason you do want to reach me on social media, I've been using the name Cannibal Wings on the majority of my socials. Twitter @Cannibal_Wings Tumblr @Cannibal-Wings Ao3 @Cannibal_Wings Pillowfort @Cannibal_Wings (do people even use pillowfort anymore???) I mostly do horror content now, and talk about comics and video games. Again, this fandom, everyone, meant and mean so much to me, even years after I left. This was a big part of my life for years, and I don't regret a single moment. I sincerely hope that everyone reading this has an amazing day, month, year, and life. May you find just as much fun and joy in all your fandom endeavors, and never forget to be brave enough to be kind. -Tye (Karkat Vantas)

[@yellowguy9943]

please I need the timing to this

[@mcwildflowers5512]

"I can't be seen without my glasses." "I can't SEE without my glasses!" Some of the best lines I've ever heard. Makes me think of how in my group of friends a lot of us bring aviators glasses to school and pretend to be Dave. Simultaneously, those of us who either don't own the sunglasses or forgot them are trying to trick people with sunglasses to lend them to them. I actually had my friend's "Strider" shades over night once because my friend forgot I was wearing them when lunch ended. Its was quite entertaining when the rest of the group saw I still had them....

[@theidiotpaperbagsociety5976]

This and "What Panel?" are my favorite Homestuck panels. I need to cosplay something and be in one of these, jesus it looks like so much fun.

[@xlights4622]

Ryocryte Ikr? Even I'm a HUUUUGGGGEEEE Homestuck fan, I'm only 10 years old so I doubt they'd let me be in one of these. People don't let people my age into panels because of cussing, but I personally find swearing funny and it doesn't bother me, I guess that's my humor. I've watched too much pewdiepie.

[@Cannibal-Wings]

xlights I wouldn't count yourself out of the running for a panel spot just because of your age. Some panels do have age restrictions on their panelists, but I would def check out audition forms and see if you meet their requirements. You never know, you might just be the perfect fit for the character they're looking for!

[@xlights4622]

Lord Tien Thanks. :D I really wanna be Terezi or Vriska in a panel. I've only been to one convention before which was DragonCon in 2013, hopefully I can go to more soon. ^^

[@anticucho1065]

xlights haha, you dont even act 10! u act like 14/15

[@xlights4622]

Natilla Forshila Thanks ^.^ I've always thought that I was a 10 year old with the mind/brain of a 15 year old.

[@ZerrekTheDog]

27:30 best part the dirk knight rises

[@ihavekalashnikovyoudomath9275]

Lonely That must be part of the reason Hussie didn't make Dirk a Knight class. To avoid an influx of "The Dirk Knight"

[@Dragon_Sparkles]

This has an underlying sadness because it takes place right before GameOver and some of the things they say are just. ;_; I swear I almost started crying when Gamzee picked up Terezi's cane.

[@ArtGirly1Studios]

I HAVE A JOKE: Karkat I think something is *burning up*

[@ArtGirly1Studios]

Dirk: Yeah I watched everyone die Dirk: no biggie

[@Cannibal-Wings]

IS IT ME? AM I THE ONE BURNING UP? fucking nailed it.

[@3nd-un0btain3d]

[@magpie5253]

someone should just gently roll a bucket into the panel. not hurting anyone or anything, just lending to some good comedy.

[@se6687]

Haha I've watched this about a million times and I just noticed that at 36:17 when John says "Are you asking me out?" Karkat says in a deep voice "I am" 😂😂

[@Cannibal-Wings]

+Something Else I DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER I SAID THAT UNTIL I READ THIS COMMENT. Holy shit.

[@ohjeez5371]

where the fuck did you go like did you just leave with the crazy Stridercest fan

[@Cannibal-Wings]

Ze Flaffy Pamcaek We were standing just outside the main panel room door. Laughing our asses off. If you didn't know, that was a scripted scene. However, only a few people on the cast knew it was going to happen, Dave and Dirk not being one of those people.

[@ohjeez5371]

Yeah I figured it was scripted.

[@fruitytictac8355]

I feel like "shit cascading down a mountain of vomit" is just what Lord Tien always says when it comes to being Karkat in a panel, I could swear that I've heard him use the same phrase before

[@Cannibal-Wings]

You would have heard that same phrase in the panel before this one. I was doing a callback to that answer, since people found it one of the funnier lines I said.

[@krisd2518]

Beep Beep Meow Vantas. I love it.

[@tintabranca1567]

[@literateknits]

The Dirk and I had a LOT of fun writing that last skit. We might have a slight addiction to Princess Bride quotes now, but it's totally worth it.

did someone srsly throw a bucket at them? 32:40

[@Cannibal-Wings]

+That One Random Artist (Brooke Maloney) Yup. That sure was a thing that happened. It happened a while ago so I don't remember the specifics but it was someone from the hall that threw it, not someone in the audience. If you were curious it was a metal ice bucket that some hotels give you to get ice. I can't remember if there was any action taken against the person, as I was on the panel and didn't leave. I wish I could remember more...

[@BrookeMaloney_google]

It was planned, but only some of the cast knew about it!

[@akierr1reika]

Oh that's good!! I was REALLY worried about them for a moment.. thank you for telling me~

[@literateknits]

Dirk and Dave were in on it, actually. I wouldn't do something like that to them without asking (I run the panel, him I also played Vriska). Some of the cast had no idea though, their reactions are priceless.

[@OblivionOath]

We knew not to go after the person who was doing it-but we didn't know WHY. Or what was in store for us.

[@TakeFlight58i]

Codename: "Socks" They were super secretive, which made it even better!

[@laneynoneofyourbusiness3993]

From Gamzee's yoga and Bitchankle to the Skits and the Dave/Dirk fangirl cosplayer...i was pretty much laughing the entire time. I love these cosplayers so much, good job all of you! I can always watch one of these panelstucks to cheer me up. I hope that whenever i go to a Con, i can find a Homestuck panel with any of the cosplayers i've seen (specifically the John, Dave, Dirk, Gamzee, Vriska, and Karkat), from this panel, that would be so amazing, i would fangirl so hard...someone get a defibrillator ready.

[@Cannibal-Wings]

+Small warrior I'm pretty sure this is the sweetest comment I have ever read about one of our panels. The whole reason we wrote the skits, and performed them was so that we could bring a little fun into the fandom and spread some good. Our goal was to make people laugh and entertain them. So I'm sure all of them would be very pleased to see that we cheered you up. I know personally, it makes my day when I read something like this. So thank you. If we ever do run into each other a con, please don't have a heart attack, I'm garbage at cpr and would probably pass out along side you. haha.

[@christinekogane9398]

46:58 I always ALWAYS love this part until this day xD John: *Distracted by Roxy's beauty* Gamzee: Who's Dave's best friend? Roxy: *Slaps Gamzee's hand* John: *Snaps out of it and realizes* AH FUUCK!! And after hearing that the Mayor is Dave's best friend i love how John says "...bro", like asking Dave to explain himself then Dave's just like ".. Have YOU met the mayor?". And then when John gets off camera i LOVE how Dave goes to John to talk to him, only for when the camera goes to capture the moment it shows Dave interacting with the Mayor xD

[@coolgirlgracie5137]

man i wish i had been old enough back then to do stuff like this. even if it could be considered cringe now, these people looked like they were having so much fun! i feel like cosplay and fandom culture in general is not what it once was, which in some instances is a good thing i guess lol. i miss how unhinged everything used to be tho!!!! sort of makes me sad to go back and watch stuff like this and see how much everything’s changed :,)

For the Godtier cosplayers it was a lot of sewing with hand made patterns. For me, the Karkat, I literally just bought a black long sleeved shirt and painted they symbol on with fabric paint, and bought a wig. I made my horns though, sculpy oven bake clay with a foil core so they're light. They're attached to a headband I wear under the wig.
