God Tier Dave and John are just siting there, like "and we thought our timeline is horrible".

[@alexhackett1312]

They are just like. "We did the scratch to fix the timeline... Not this!"

[@ashforest5135]

John: Karkat marry me!! Jake: everyone's suppose to marry me! Tricksters: He's Marrying me! He Marrying me! He's marrying me!! Dave: WE WERE SUPPOSE TO PLAY A GAME!!! I died! XD

[@sparklight0964]

[@Jdewjs939]

The dude knows what he wants and he's gonna get it

[@aleonite1146]

"Everyone who's brightly colored and over cafinated"

[@DistantStarfall]

I love how slightly shaky the entire panel is and how it's just barely staying together by Karkat and Dirk. It truly fits how goddamn chaotic Tricksters make their surroundings.

[@NeoMetaI]

Janes just looks depressed

[@mercuryMayhem]

Karkat Babysits his friends after they are all on a sugar high and act like babis. Aww

[@mercuryMayhem]

ONCE THE BOOPING STARTS IT NEVER ENDDSSSS

[@tryhardbanana5315]

I love Trickster!Dirk so much! XD Literally only because he can fight off a magical mind fuck sugar high with only his mind and personality. I just find it really entertaining when all the others are like caffeine overdose and then there's dirk, just there. Watching. I just find it really funny XD

[@mcwildflowers5512]

I know, right? That's me at a party when my friends are on sugar highs and my ADHD meds haven't worn out. XP

[@PsychoBlossom]

Saaaaameeee

[@se6687]

Did you also notice how in the beginning he was in the corner with his hands up 😆(it was when the camera panned towards the crowd)

[@someone9814]

YES

[@paulasmith1823]

I would be dirk, even tho I love sugar, I can be mature at some points, I also hate Caffeine tbh XD

"A kit-kat from a karkat" that is by far one of my favorite lines in here.

[@binarypench]

Never Land Karkat’s trickster would be a kitkat

[@rubynight7857]

My sister was the one who got the kitkat

[@-deci-1013]

Break me off a piece of that karkat bar

[@sugahyung9200]

[@alyciaruffin2388]

I'm not the only person that noticed that God Tier Dave and John sat on the stacked chairs the whole time?

[@hellflameflowers3930]

Nope! XD

[@Tigerlilly-lx5zz]

They were probably from another timeline and had no idea what to do.

[@cenketsu]

they played once in the limbo

[@Tigerlilly-lx5zz]

+BurgerPants yeah

[@develiix8314]

imagine them in a cal cosplay xD

[@catsalia]

Was I the only one that was overly annoyed by the guy being male Nepeta that kept acting like he was part of the panel?

[@jeg7256]

Nope, I was pretty annoyed.

[@starpumpkinxo]

(In all of their Panels that guy is always there.)

[@maxredman2462]

Same. It was so annoying

[@Desire_Melodis6969]

The part where Trickster Jade yelled at Dirk, SIT DOWN DIRK!" I died at the part where Karkat was mimicked by John and everyone that is trickster say he was suppose to marry me. I died at both parts

[@Cannibal-Wings]

+Shrire Kulrok I totally botched that imitation part, hahaha.

[@herbert7396]

i watched this entire thing and just smiled the entire time because im such trash i will watch people dressed up in cosplay messing around just because i needed more homestuck in my life

[@Cannibal-Wings]

+Awesome Elora Comments like these are why do panels. I'm glad we were able to make you smile. Really.

[@indieflowerutau]

Screaming Doodle JOIN THE CLUb!!!!!!!!

[@ahomefordreams]

[@BrookeMaloney_google]

i love how god tier john and dave were sitting on the chairs in the corner the entire time and never got up to play a game or anything XD

[@theidiotpaperbagsociety5976]

They are both like FUCK IT! Karkat can handle this!

[@BrookeMaloney_google]

pssh yep

[@jeg7256]

They played a few games but most of the time they sat down, (I was just watching them, wanting them to hold hands or something xD)

[@BrookeMaloney_google]

yass my gay babs pshh

[@keseyrolls9946]

+ᘛ Jσнη Egвєят ᘚ 15:40 to 15:45 john has his head on daves shoulder. youre welcome, i saw it when I was passing this comment xD

[@USUKluvr]

And this is the moment when everyone ships karkatXtrickster dirk

[@ResoluteChaos]

Lol I looked that ship up on google to see if it was an actual ship xD turns out it isnt, as far as I can see. :(

[@littellmonster]

***** all ships are possible if you just believe... and write fanfiction

[@ResoluteChaos]

Elisabeth Finch Aww. Sadly I dont write fanfiction :( But I do believe... Trickster!DirkKat it is.

[@USUKluvr]

***** Hussie has canonically confirmed all ships, so it is an actual ship. KarkatXDirk is, so why not trickster? And in this scenario, it makes a lot of sense.

[@ResoluteChaos]

Jill Nitram o: he has? *your comment makes my day*

[@knightelm]

lol dirk hiding in the corner in the beggining

[@sombertastmanian5764]

He just had that kind of "i don't wanna" expression

[@wildfire317]

The in the end he finally starts having fun

[@justalexbot5276]

the way you guys said that made it sound so fucking cute wh y

[@kammiejr]

When trickster dirk was spotted, everyone was like: "DIRK! DIRK!" And he held up a chair for defense.

[@gawsten333]

@Lord Tien i dont know what cons. Q_Q

[@breezewolfaj3930]

Lord Tien Do you have tumblr or instagram

[@Cannibal-Wings]

My tumblr is lordtien.tumblr.com right now. I do not have an instagram at the moment.

[@dragonace7211]

28:08 "Cameraman, do you want a KitKat bar? Before it's too late?" (I think) "KitKat from a Karkat." XD ^.^

[@fluggert5261]

Watching these panels after Homestuck is over with is really strange. Also very sad. All these people who connected so well up on stage just kinda faded away. Half of these tumblrs are either inactive or moved. Like, what happened to that Dave cosplayer? Or that Jade? Or everybody else. 2011 to 2014 was such a strange time for Conventions. Homestuck cosplays every where, unsealed paint, the intricate horns. If any of these people in the panels come across this comment. Tell us how you are, nothing more, nothing less.

[@CaeneusTelamon]

I know this is hella old, but the dave and the dirk are still (semi) active on Instagram! Although they don't do as many cosplays now I think. The Dirk is @firecrackerstorm and Dave is @dethruki!

[@Cannibal-Wings]

This is a two year old comment but I'll reply to it anyways. I'm the Karkat here. My tumblr is Cannibal-Wings and my twitter is Cannibal_Wings. I fell out of the Homestuck fandom when it ended, I poked around some of the tags for a little bit after it was over, but my interests migrated to other things. Many of us from this friendgroup are still friends and still keep in touch, though naturally some of us drifted. Sometimes its sad to look back at these panels and see all of the people I've lost touch with, but at the same time I will always cherish the memories we made doing these little stand up comedy sketches. Personally, I'm doing ok. Probably the best I've been in a while, despite the current world status being: Shitshow.

[@WolfSpirit101]

"Once upon a time, fuck off and die." I love you Karkat! XD

[@Cannibal-Wings]

I have the best improv. No I don't. But that line was fun.

[@LadyDanger420]

guys. there's a fucking Levi in the corner.

[@ghostboatreallysucks]

+thebossunicorn123 ok

[@jaymalone2442]

[@confusedfroginspace1619]

Lol the whole darling if you love me game, the tall equius in the back was just standing perfectly still and only once did someone come up to him and it was trickster roxy and she just left with an expression of "I'm so sorry"

[@hg3394]

My mom walked in at 1:13 and was like"What are they?" and I was like "Let me tell u about Homestuck."

[@lovesick-puppy4667]

Jena Gray I said that to my friend and she said "that isn't that why your afraid of buckets"

I'm making trickster cosplays for next Summer and I'm really not sure me or any of my friends are ready to act this excited. Maybe I'll have that much energy on the first day of the con...?

[@mladdydaddy6735]

I love the JohnKat at the beginning 3:40 ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW TRICKSTER DAVE CALLED JADE BEAUTIFUL AT 5:41

[@Dr_B0nes]

[@takeashotelliot9045]

it was marco

[@Tigerlilly-lx5zz]

I love the fact that Trickster! Dirk is Karkats favourite person during this panal.

[@Cannibal-Wings]

+Tigerlilly 1313 HE WAS THE ONLY ONE NOT FULL OF STUPID. He kept me grounded in a sea of sugar.

[@Tigerlilly-lx5zz]

+Lord Tien that is very true. The tricksters scared me. Except for Dirk. I'm like him at times.

[@YeenMachine]

KARKAT WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HAIR. you may need to see a doctor if your whole head of hair keeps falling off

[@Cannibal-Wings]

Hahahahaha. And this kids, is why you always fucking pin down your wig. I forgot to pin my wig down so when I dipped my head back my super heavy horns pulled my wig off, luckily it's not hard to put back on, but it is a tad bit embarrassing.

[@YeenMachine]

Lord Tien love your cosplay though!

[@ZeroXxChemicals]

Dirk just didnt succumb to it, even if he wanted to. His mind is too steeled for that. On the other hand, Dave isnt.

[@jaidenr.stephenson4313]

Omg I thought Karkat was going to kiss the trickster for a second their...

[@cosmicmachine949]

I feel like that Dirk was the actual Dirk Strider. He was so cute!!! /)///(\

[@teardropslushi]

If I were playing the smile game. I w I would go up to Dirk and say"you make my heart go dirky dirky, so honey please smile" If he didn't smile at that. Or atleast a comment something is wrong.

[@livhasproblems2513]

Why did I discovered homestuck so late? I can relate to it. When your friends are all acting like children and you know you could too, but your brain is saying you "No you can't bitch. Nów go to the corner of the room and try not to look so scared of them." It always ends up the same. ;-; (Also love the cosplayers ^^)

[@rw8851]

That looks like so much fun!

[@dancinglamb9001]

John: marry me karkat! karkat: YES! everyone else: he was supposed to marry me! Homestuck shipping in a nutshell.

Was the aranea in the audience who made it to champion circle of the hand slappy game. This is still by far my favorite panel to have ever watched/participated in (since it was a game panel). Brings back a lot of fond memories. :)
