Ask a Homestuck at Katsucon 2012 Part 1 (CAPTIONED)

***Sorry, we are not a unified cosplay group. We cannot go to every convention you ask us to attend.***
EDIT Now with captions! I'm new at the captioning thing, and it kept retiming all of my captions. For now, you have this. They are correct, but sometimes a little off. :C I'll be trying out a new way on doing it later.
A panel in which we cosplay and answer questions as the main cast of Homestuck.

[@dasytaylor]

"Ha-ha, another blind joke! Like we didn't ~see~ that coming from you" - Karkat accidentally made another blind pun and noone noticed!

[@juliadolence3827]

Terezi- "Rule number 2, keep shipping questions to a minimum." Eridan- "I object."

[@littenkitten2819]

SINCE WHEN IS KARKAT ALMOST TALLER THEN EVERYONE?

[@solluxcaptris3970]

Sollux and eridan are sitting by each other=INTENSE SHIPPING

[@rendoesyoutube]

[@iggyjones1492]

mother caking miracles

[@Asyipyip]

they're little banter is so cute, especially when eridan says, "I object!" to the restriction on shipping questions, and he and sol start arguing. I love it, I love all of you, I love this entire video, someone help me I'm hyperventilating.

[@amicableCollector]

"Maybe its vriska!" "Vriska has big everything including a mouth" I died.

[@moonXlighter137]

Random thing: I love how happy Tavros looks at 6:12 when he hears Gamzee waking up behind everyone. PB&J FOREVAH!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mariansmith8623]

"Keep shipping questions to a minimum!" "I object!" Why wasn't I surprised Eridan said that?

[@LibertyLikes]

I AM SO FRUSTRATED because I just want to know how I can be a part of this!!!

[@potat8089]

Do you still want to be a part of it?

[@uwucien]

You're all amazing at acting! I watch this over and over, I still laugh. The way you can improvise the responses are awesome!

[@DoubleAA1996]

I love this Equius's voice. It is my headcanon now.

[@Jeallybean129]

[@birbmeme3795]

This is art

[@libby5426]

terminallyXsadistic is the best gamzee cosplayer I've come across, MASSIVE fan of theirs

[@fizzywaterangel]

The Sollux and Eridan are so perfect! Such good examples for other cosplayers ;u;

[@beariesSpring]

You make an amazing Vriska. I really hope to meet you someday. :3

[@fizzywaterangel]

Yay~! Captions! :D

[@thatspazzchild02]

God this is so beyond awesome. XD

[@dragon77888]

I went to Comic-Con for first time the other day, and I was so excited to see Homestuck cosplayers walking around that I took a picture of all of the ones that let me. I even struck up a conversation with a Snowman cosplayer. It was a fun convention, and I can't wait for the next one to come by my area.

[@YayChocolateYay]

I LOVE these cosplayers! You all did an amazing job! The voices also were PERFECT! And also, how long did it take you to make the costumes?

[@BoxedHobo]

... I'll have to rewatch this.

[@imbrush]

WOAH CALM YOUR COOKIES!!!!!

[@animek22x]

Ah yes! That makes sense. Thanks so much!

[@l.a.w8224]

Karkat in a panel without swearing

[@animek22x]

You guys are amazing! You answered the tough questions in character and with believeable answers. Wonderful job all! But I have one question. Why were the rules said twice? Why not just jump right into the skit with the rules in it?

[@maxalpha5899]

The most amazing thing ever. Just google it and keep reading it how ever much you think it sucks. The start is shit, but it gets better bro. :3

[@BoxedHobo]

Some of us bought our shirts on the What Pumpkin website. A few of us, including myself, made our own.

[@NicoleSams614]

This proves how awesome we girls are!

[@mariansmith8623]

"So, no swearing." That's rich, coming from you, Karkat.

[@KikiKawiki]

How'd the Sollux do the glasses? I've tried making some several times and it never looks that good. Oh, and did she use two headbands for the horns? ~Struggling Sollux Cosplayer Oh, and this was the best Homestuck panel I've seen. You guys all are spot on!

[@FallenSeraphimh]

Lol, When Kanaya was talking at the end Gamzee had the face like: "Whaaa?"

[@zmcr1234]

There's a cosplay meet up at Zenkaikon, you guys should go! :D

[@poppyEars]

There are only, like, 3 exceptions to this but pretty much every single one of these cosplayers fulfills my headcanons for them.

[@vlads1STangel]

When Gamzee came Tavros' expression was so adorable! ^.^ He was all happy cause Gamzee came! Aww!!

[@BurningFreesias]

That Kanaya is especially precious. Her role playing and improvising was lovely!

[@BoxedHobo]

One of us filled out an application for the panel. Anyone can do this! :> After it was accepted, they found some cast members. Each panel is different though. Some panels do auditions, some do first-come-first-serve, and some pick cosplayers they know for the roles.

[@MiyiuikiShadowDemon]

awesome! Thank you.

[@WarriorIcebreath]

That is one great Sollux cosplayer! D:

[@BoxedHobo]

Months before a convention happens, they open panel submissions. Vantasticmess submitted a panel idea and it was approved.

[@reentear]

No matter how many times I watch this, I start laughing. xD;;

[@Asyipyip]

ohmygod, equis is perfect.

[@vuIturecuIture]

This is fucking beautiful ;W;

[@IzabelBabic]

such a CUTEE john!!

[@vlads1STangel]

When I saw the camera was so far away from Eriden I nearly teared up D:

[@laurenbateman9853]

Eridan objects to the shipping restraints. X)

[@Saingirl101]

Its because two different people planned the panel either time. For example the gamzee was the person who hosted the panel at AUSA and at Katsucon the karkat hosted the panel. In lots of cases people were chosen for both because of experience and reliability. Basically if we were going by the katsucon panelists. The john, karkat, sollux, gamzee, tavros, nepeta, vriska and I think feferi and eridan were all on the ausa panel.

[@madcitykarl35]

[@vaeylr]

Meet John, the health teacher. ERMAGERD. I SHOULD TOTALLY DO THAT

[@TheDevNell]

=_= this panel is making me question my own sexual orientation. Everyone's so wonderful.

[@-notporygon-1049]

i searched the bartyanderson channel url in the youtube search bar but i found myself with nothing but a clip of a cult session

[@BoxedHobo]

If you keep watching, she comes in. Traffic is rough in the sea. :C

[@Duploidzer]

I know it said "Sorry, Im blocking" at 8:27 but I swear I heard "Sorry, My bucket"

[@SquishyPippin]

I love this tavros :3

[@StarlightViolets]

It's a mothercaking miracle!

[@Ghoulbait]

oh look at this its my fave eridan 0u0 myy what a cutieee :DD

O A O that's one awesome KK there...

[@phoenixstarr44]

siiiiiiign. actually you haven't - that's somebody impersonating me. :C But I'm glad they're nice! =D

[@GamzeeMakara69]

THIS TAVROS IS BEST TAVROS.

[@Nishell3300]

I just spazzed out over that Equius.

[@Saingirl101]

In this case you probably would've been denied, the gamzee on this panel was feeling sick the day this happened.

[@BoxedHobo]

He was making sure he didn't miss any rules.

[@BoxedHobo]

It's okay Brenda. It's okay.

[@maddy5645]

Hey, if you cuts can, you should come to Ohayo Con in January

[@Realalovesme]

I love the freaking Tavros oohh my godddd. I just. I can't, man. I can't. ;_;

[@BoxedHobo]

I believe most of us will be at Otakon, but Otakon rejected all Homestuck panels.

[@CourseFlame]

That rose is so pretty, and Tavros and Gamzee are just adorable. XD

[@SoulDancer1320]

My first question, "Where's Gamzee D:" Karkat: "Where the hell is Gamzee?" Me: "I dunno, let's just hope he's not sober."

[@BoxedHobo]

I don't think our John realized the date of Con Air. xD

[@Contesta234]

Anything that relates to two characters being together- in any of the four quadrants/romantically/what have you so like if someone asked "Sollux how do you feel about Karkat?" that could be taken as a "Shipping Question"

[@rikulover9]

Oh gosh, that Gamzee is my absolute favorite Gamzee cosplayer~ xD

[@ladyvixle]

IT'S THE MUFFIN BUTTON!!!

[@DarkNamine]

@BoxedHobo You were amazing. ;w;
