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.

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

[@littenkitten2819]

SINCE WHEN IS KARKAT ALMOST TALLER THEN EVERYONE?

[@solluxcaptris3970]

Sollux and eridan are sitting by each other=INTENSE SHIPPING

[@juliadolence3827]

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

[@rendoesyoutube]

That Sollux's voice is so close to my headcanon Sollux voice

[@cydniel4462]

That Sollux is awesome.

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

[@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.

[@iggyjones1492]

mother caking miracles

[@amicableCollector]

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

[@mariansmith8623]

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

[@DoubleAA1996]

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

[@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!

[@aaronskrrtskrrt8898]

I see that Terezi and that Vriska EVERYWHERE

[@aaronskrrtskrrt8898]

This proves how awesome we girls are!

[@vlads1STangel]

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

[@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.

[@MiyiuikiShadowDemon]

awesome! Thank you.

[@BoozeyGrandpa]

ahhhg everyone is adorable

[@Asyipyip]

ohmygod, equis is perfect.

[@IzabelBabic]

such a CUTEE john!!

[@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.

[@MsLemonShot]

Oh gosh, I love that Equius!

[@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.

[@BurningFreesias]

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

[@zmcr1234]

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

[@TheAnjelHarte]

This is epic.....

I love this tavros :3

[@EmptyShadows1713]

the Karkat was AMAZING!

[@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?

[@vitiata19]

thank you :3

[@BoxedHobo]

thank you. ;3;

[@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.

[@bratznextopmodelover]

PERFECT kanaya PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!! equius was PERFECTION as well and oh gosh that tavros

[@poppyEars]

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

[@vuIturecuIture]

This is fucking beautiful ;W;

[@OkayKarly]

Haha this panel is the reason I read Homestuck ;D

[@levelessa]

My favorite Vriska Gamzee and Tavros are in this panel 🥰

[@WarriorIcebreath]

That is one great Sollux cosplayer! D:

[@reentear]

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

[@vlads1STangel]

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

[@iazai1993]

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

[@flyweeabooty]

im going to a similar kind of thing at Ramencon this year :)

[@FallenSeraphimh]

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

[@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?

[@BoxedHobo]

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

[@TheDevNell]

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

[@Pacacoca]

Search for Homestuck Cosplay Help (tumblr). It's an awesome place for cosplay suggestions and ideas. You'll surely find what to do about your cosplay and what to buy for it!

[@TheSilence46]

WHOA CALM YOUR COOKIES XD LOVE THIS KARKAT

[@CourseFlame]

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

[@laurenbateman9853]

Eridan objects to the shipping restraints. X)

[@DarkNamine]

@BoxedHobo You were amazing. ;w;

[@GamzeeMakara69]

THIS TAVROS IS BEST TAVROS.

[@BoxedHobo]

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

[@vaeylr]

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

[@-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

[@maddy5645]

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

[@Saingirl101]

Yeah, This wasn't a 13+ panel so they had to come up with some amusing way to explain the lack of swearing yet stay in character. It was actually kind of cool what vikki decided on. It was the same back at ausa as well.

[@rikulover9]

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

[@Nishell3300]

I just spazzed out over that Equius.

[@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!

[@BoxedHobo]

It's okay Brenda. It's okay.

[@AhoyCapnEevee]

Lindzar you are the cutest Dave!

[@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"

[@toetgr]

Oh gog, Karkat's awesome.

[@TheHawkwithoutwings]

Oh god you are all so cute, that John is so cute, that Jade is so cute, and as always lindzar/dave is cute. YOU ARE ALL SO CUTE.

[@BoxedHobo]

@DarkNamine Thank you!! :o

[@mariansmith8623]

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

[@abbrah90]

oh my gog when vriska hugged john dave looked really sad and lonely it is cannon JOHNDAVE

[@Ghoulbait]

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

[@blueRAYE13]

I completely agree with Equis, Rarity is the best pony
