[@BoxedHobo]

The fun part is that "Most Likely" was the actual answer on my 8-ball.

[@ThePuppyfan11]

[@CrazyKoopaCat]

[@BelieveThePeach]

Awwwwwwwwh, you guys looked like you had so much fun!

[@Brollz123]

This is the best panel ever!!!

[@Contesta234]

oh gosh you're the best Vriska. Ever ♥ I loved this panel x3

[@sakurashinigami1001]

I just want to hug all you guys! You're all AWESOME

[@lyssaneko]

You are all my headcannons now! I feel like if I was ever invited to help run a panel like this, I would be more confident because I have you guys as an example to follow. Great job!

[@iomayroseblossom]

I love this so much..why does this not have more likes?? You're truly the most amazzzing homestuck cosplayers I have seen! Your voices and mannerisims were very well played out! I am totally impressed! You guys are awesome! I love you >;D

[@melodymusique]

dang that equius voice is sooooo deeeeeeep ;) whew~ excellent panel guys ;u; i had a lovely time watching these videos.

[@kristelmiller729]

you guys are all precious

[@kyle9528]

God I wish I was there! Love the cast!

[@artsymusical]

This is awesome!!1

[@BoxedHobo]

Some of us may be going. I am planning a panel with a few other people as of now.

[@averyfriendly]

Ok I have 8 of my favorite cosplayers in this panel. The karkat, the sollux (favorite overall cosplayer), the dave, the vriska, the eridan, the nepeta, the gamzee, and the tavros are all my favorite cosplayers for that character!!! I loved this panel too much!!

[@Tepo99]

The part where Vriska looks into the magic 8ball was awesome.

[@BoxedHobo]

Actually, our Karkat made the roboarm for Vriska! So I would ask them on tumblr! For the headband, just go out and get a cheap headband. Make your horns, then what I did was hold them up to the headband on my head and marked where I wanted the horns to go. Then I drilled screws into the headband where the marks were made, then screwed the horns onto the headband and reinforced it with hot-glue. Then I painted over the hot-glue to blend in with the horns.

[@EchoAssassin998]

Ok if I had to pick a favorite cosplayer out of your group, it would most definitely be Vriska. Like oh my GOD is Vriska PERFECT!!! If I ever see her at a convention, I will literally tackle hug you. And I have now made that my goal. ^_^ But seriously, I LOVE the Vriska!!!! :3

[@PAAreumaVOD]

*squeeing* I love these so much!~ They make my day.

[@ratkreecher]

All of you were AMAZING. Costume and everything. I'm very surprised that Equius and Vriska received so many questions, instead of Karkat and Gamzee getting the majority.

[@EchoedMemories]

YOU ARE ALL THE BEST HOMESTUCKS, THAT THE WORLD COULD EVER HOMESTUCK.

[@BelgianBabe99]

I KNEW I SHOULD'VE COME THIS YEAR!

[@steadyyournerves]

Aww I feel bad for that Feferi, she only got one question! Also I agree with many others when they say you are a great Vriska. I love the voice you did for her!

[@bigbully0107]

D'awwww, this is all pretty adorable. Vriska and Terezi were perfect! So lovely! ^-^

[@CCaaRRaa888]

Thats the best Vriska frikkin ever!! needs advice on how she made robot arm and headband!!!

[@Saingirl101]

Pbbt he had plenty enough love this panel. He had the most questions.

[@AoAstar]

Gog, you all played the characters so well! I can't even pick a favorite, you all were so perfect! I know you're not a unified cosplay group, but if you ever do this again, you think you guys could give the internet a heads up? :3 I would love to see this in person!

[@BoxedHobo]

That's a little far (and expensive) for a few of us! We're not really one uniform group either. We had casting calls on tumblr, and decided on who to pick as characters from there! :)

[@BoxedHobo]

Thank you! However, if we do this again, there's never a guarantee that it will be the same cast. However, there are quite a few Homestuck panels planned for Katsucon 2013.

[@BoxedHobo]

Our cast changes because we do different conventions, and for varying other reasons. I personally have been in homestuck panels at Anime USA, Katsucon, and Anime NEXT.

[@CCaaRRaa888]

thanks!!

[@lialacharuno3079]

Yes and John is the karkat in the first bucket full of homestuck

[@laurenvermeulen889]

I LOVE YOU SOLLUX!

[@lucyha10]

That Sollux was just. So. Perfect. XD

[@godazzgirl]

[@CCaaRRaa888]

[@mariabueno7545]

Whens your next one guys when D: I WANNA GO!!!!! D: i have so many questions for gamzee, tavros, karkat, Sollux, Terezi especially >:3 cause she loves my favorite color!

[@DrunkPrussian]

[@Annabellr]

[@godazzgirl]

[@godazzgirl]

[@BMkad07]

[@puppywuppy23]

I would have LOVED to be there! i know exactly what i would have asked!!!! But i dont live in America, i might just.. naahh...

[@H0m3StuckMin3r]

Tavros Nitram is SOOO adorable i love him

[@BoxedHobo]

Most of us will be at Otakon. I know I will. I was Vriska.

[@XxSakuraChuxX]

I watched all these videos and also A Bucket full of Homestuck. Now what do I do with my life? D'X

[@Kurohimemiya]

"You know what that means Karkat? I am the leader now." "Everyone ju2t get out."

[@vuIturecuIture]

I wish someone said: "Karkat, would you like to announce your blood color to us?" :D

[@kouhaifukboi7350]

umm. I was wondering when you guys might be doing one of these anywhere close/in North Carolina. If you are i would like to know please ^^

[@SquishyCryptid]

If I was there, I would've cosplayed as Alucard from Hellsing and formally welcomed Kanaya to the vampire/rainbow drinker ranks. That is, if it didn't weird her out. o.o; Where do you guys mostly hold your panels at, anyway?

[@BoxedHobo]

Columbus, Ohio? That's a bit far for me personally, and I think for a majority of the cast members. We're not a uniform group either. We have two more panels planned for sometime this summer, but we're just waiting on having the panel approved. The one who is running them is actually our Gamzee, tumblr user terminallyxsadistic. I have not personally put these panels together, I've mostly helped out with a few lines, and casting calls.

[@iazai1993]

speechless

[@Saingirl101]

They each were actually asked two questions. The girl who was feferi was late because of traffic issues, so that was probably why she wasn't asked as many questions. As for the aradia, I'm not sure why she wasn't asked more questions. In comparison they were both on the ausa panel and were asked several.

[@BoxedHobo]

Nic Cage

[@laurenvermeulen889]

O MY FLIPPIN GAWD, THATS THE BEST SOLLUX EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TE HEHEHEHEHEHEEE! PHHHH IM NOT OVER-OBSESSIVE...............O.o

[@Namingway248]

im surprised no one has ever asked eridan if he wrote troll john loves his daddy

[@lillianmay4861]

@BoxedHobo I was quoting the eridan haha

[@iHateDuckButt]

Is it just me, or, were there a lot of 'DAT ASS' moments. That Sollux was like, awesome. Poor amazing. Everyone was awesome.

[@Wheeneshx3]

Eridan needs more love. XD

[@averyfriendly]

PLEASE COME TO EDMONTON EXPO!!!!! PLEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!!!?????? I WILL FLIP OUT!!!!!!!

[@dabomb7114]

Why is Tavros so adorable??? How many rainbows do you have to eat before that happens???

[@hikaritenshi888]

Does anybody else see Dave and Terezi playing with the scalemates? XD

[@Lollygyrrl]

@BoxedHobo ey. are you going to do another thing anytime soon? namely gencon in columbus?

[@sparetire1234]

I don't mean to be a bother but where is Katsukon at? I live in the USA and I wish to go to one... And how old do you have to be and does it cost money?? (sorry for the so many questions i just really wanna go next year)

[@Samantha120943449537]

Will you be at Animenext? :3

[@Annabellr]

are you going to be at animeNEXT 2013?

[@Saingirl101]

She actually got two questions. And the reason was because she was running late to the panel.

[@vapoprockkitten]

Will you all be going to Katsucon 2013? Or am I asking too early?

[@chikausa14]

I would ask about Terezi's favorite smell. XD

[@matthewlamberth7325]

The one who does Nepeta sounds a bit like Tiny Tina.

[@savaghamster123]

Hey what was the hair cut that your sollux got?

[@mariansmith8623]

Who was the poet Equius was asked questions about?

[@TheMangaMuffin]

Can I have that Tavros? Please?

[@JustASleepySloth]

0:36 what was the picture of?

[@skaterjuliet]

I will marry this Karkat. And Sollux. Both of them....

[@lilyrose2255]

can i marry the karkat. PLEASE? HES CAKING AWESOME.

[@BoxedHobo]

We refuse to cooperate with your request.

[@JCCaelan]

I wish to know what the picture was.

[@BoxedHobo]

Prooobably asking too early. xD

[@michellesherrod3005]

what about feferi?

[@BoxedHobo]

I know, I was being snarky.

[@laurenvermeulen889]

my question....SOLLUX, CAN I HAVE A HUG?

[@mariansmith8623]

If you reverse 314, it's 413. COINCIDENCE?! I think not.

[@AnimeloverM]

I'd say that Aradia and Feferi had less love in this panel :< I mean Aradia barely had questions and as far as I could remember, Feferi had none

[@gamerella3476]

and nepeta only got asked three questions! >:(

[@KelseyAnderson4001]

Is Jade using sign language 0:19???

[@DoubleAA1996]

i just thought about a question i would have asked john: Are you a homosexual?

[@omgtheykilledkenny15]

im just wondering was this Sollux the John in the Bucket Full of Homestuck :T

[@chloemeche6256]

omgtheykilledkenny15 I'm late as fuck, rewatching these videos lmao, but yes he is (:

[@BoxedHobo]

@Contesta234 ohwefuwnecw8hec ahhh thank you!

[@godazzgirl]

aradia NO. STAHP. :I

[@yugvf]

[@ulquiXgrimm]

[@Bettersucksaul]

[@MeiDay56]

I would ask Dave to marry me, I would stand up, run ip to him, and give him a hug -33333333 Gog what a fan girl I am -3

[@erotiszm]
