[@superepikdudepcgamerz5414]

"Besides, that's pretty self-explanatory." "YOU WOULD KNOW." That Eridan is awesome.

[@viatinn]

i think it's "did you ever forgive John for hitting you with a bucket?"

[@SoulEaterLvr]

Eridan? I wanna steal the Gamzee, Equius, Dave and Rose *O*

[@lillianmay4861]

People in this panel that I am stealing: sollux tavros eridan. Actually just give me all of them.

[@ShaneTheHunter]

Gamzee: EEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHH...EHHHHHHHHHHH...EHHHHHH > Do:

[@rileyrupit4467]

ok so what was the q for kk

[@lizlily1475]

Troll eggs.

[@rendoesyoutube]

tfw you recognize over half of the cosplayers here from other panels

[@rendoesyoutube]

also on a side note, that karkat has very nice cheekbones.

[@trashianna]

lol same

[@BurningFreesias]

This cast did an excellent job bringing life to Homestuck's characters. They're probably my favorite who do these type of panels, even when they switch around the characters portrayed. I've had several watches of this panel in particular, that's how much I enjoy it.

[@talesofbeatusfatum2794]

I agree they do a great job with making their characters realistic They are Awsome

[@jaegerbombastic2097]

Was that Sollux also a John cosplayer? Ithink ive seen him/her before

[@talesofbeatusfatum2794]

In other panels that cosplayer is John

[@BoxedHobo]

"Eridan how are your quadrants going?" "(Sol) No shipping questions. Besides, it's pretty self explanatory." "(Eri) You would know."

[@birbmeme3795]

every time eridan speaks I find myself wiggling eyebrows

[@birbmeme3795]

best jokes here come from eridan

[@tismeaji]

This is the best cast I've ever seen to bring homestuck to life

[@marilyntheperson7276]

IKR!

[@talesofbeatusfatum2794]

I agree!!!

[@its_a_poncho]

AGREED!

[@birbmeme3795]

agreed

[@trashianna]

I don't know if it's the best for me but I do think that this is the best sollux and vriska that I've seen, also I think that nepeta was great and every single terezi I've seen in any panel does amazing and this was no different. I will definitely say that I have seen better karkats but this one wasnt as bad some other ones I've seen

[@ravenhalliwlel]

anyone notice that sollux didnt dispute he was filling a quadrant with eridan? Im definetly sensing some black feeling here. possibly a kismesis

[@knightriderKITT1985]

sollux is hot but since im cosplaying aridia spirit its self giving

[@knightriderKITT1985]

i wold attack sollux lol since i fell in love ...aradia megito

[@GeoffrytheButler]

I love Karkat and Sollux. I really can't watch any other Sollux or Karkat cosplayers after them XD

[@arseniccatnip7057]

h33h33! Where's Feferi?" "Oh. I knoww wwhere Feferi is ;)"

[@BoxedHobo]

"I have mixed feelings towards that. See, when she's not crying over Harry Potter films and being drunk and rather pathetic, I do have a very soft spot in my heart for them. I also share a favorite character with her. Snape. Um, we each have very deep conversations about how Alan Rickman is the perfect Snape, so I do love her sometimes." then she speaks too low. I'll ask her later if she remembers.

[@BoxedHobo]

My apologies! The subtitles were very difficult to work on, and I hadn't continued working on them. I hope to continue them soon. I kind of forgot over the summer.

[@Feline4011]

3:30 Anyone else think of "TPPP: The Mysterious Ticking Noise" when she said the name here?

[@yulcry]

watching these makes me feel terrible for not finding out about home stuck sooner, i can't help but cry because of how much fun they had while doing this and i wasn't part of the fandom when things like this were popular ; (

[@BoxedHobo]

"Karkat, Will you ever forgive John for hitting you basically in the face with a you-know-what?"

[@bakedtiger413]

Sollux's laugh when someone asked if Eriden's ancestor would be proud of him. Lol.

[@ForNarnia98]

The Dave , vriska and sollux cosplayers were amazing !

[@averyfriendly]

I worship this entire panel! I love all these people!! ALL OF THEM!!! ERIDAN AND SOLLUX AND KARKAT AND DAVE!!

[@trashianna]

what did that guy say to karkat that made them say no buckets, I couldn't hear him

[@marilyntheperson7276]

I ship Vriska and John so hard now!

[@yurrieshingetsu1021]

Same

[@capedluna]

coming back randomly to watch this. I think most cosplayers were in their 20s at the time as I was. I wander whay everyone was up too. This was such a simpler time. And still my fave panel of the many Homestuck panels I watched. Also, Sollux mah boy!

[@decipherthemind]

Sollux is amazing. Karkat is too. Heck, all of this is amzing!

[@vriskaserket7630]

John and Vriska - Thieves of the Declaration of Independence

[@graciescobar6635]

sollux is sassy as fuck. haha

[@itsmadcarnival]

gamzee is so precious so is tavros, rose is so much in character i just cant and kk eridan and sol are so good and just dave and ALL EVERYTHING OHGOD

[@CaitlinKoi]

Oh please do.

[@iggyjones1492]

can u just make a homestuck TV show please??

[@karkatvantas9667]

Only after they make it a movie

[@BoxedHobo]

"Do you have any good memories of your lusus?"

[@Actuallyjiphy]

ERIDAN HOW ARE YOUR QUADRANTS GOING

[@kacper1449]

I am ashamed by myself becuase Gamzee has my Zodiac sign

[@peach5373]

Mines Tav! XD

[@l.a.w8224]

Karkat guiding Sollux away

[@phinabellagirl]

I love this sollux!

[@levelessa]

Sollux still got a little bit of John left in him judging by the hand movements. So cute

[@Saingirl101]

Oh the person asked if karkat would ever forgive John for hitting him in the face with a you know what (Bucket)? And basically the reply was "absolutely no buckets. There was a word implied in there that I'm not supposed to hear in anyway shape or form because as you all know I'm six. Don't you think that's a little gross? I'm just curious"

[@Saingirl101]

@MotokoIsMe112 They asked what he thought of freeform jazz. This is because of a comic that was done that had the summoner stating that tavros must acquire a taste for freeform jazz. Also If you have any more questions let me know as I was the jade sitting next to the person filming this and could hear basically everything.

[@nichollle]

I love Sollux so much.

[@ravenhalliwlel]

if eridan was smart, he should have replied at least mine wasnt a slave on some ship since psiionic was literally became a part of the condesencion ship for ages before being killed. Plus he has killed numerous things and lusus so so far eridan hasnt done horribly. Cant help but love eridan and sol together as kismesis. totally ship them together. not a big fan of feferi though.

[@Sodamauss]

My sister and her friends went cosplaying around where we live (at night) ,as trolls, I went to the local petrol station and I bought them all skittles, they looked at them and eachother and said in unison " Troll Eggs! :'D" ( I wasn't cosplaying since I didnt have a troll outfit to wear X'3 - I was just walking the dog)

[@iloveanime654]

if i had been there, i would say "can i make a request?" and if they said "sure" i would either say "Sollux, do the thiiiiing!!" or i would very nervously ask "um, c-can i, um, erm, hug Tavros?" (they guy's my patron troll, i wouldn't pass up the chance to hug him!)

[@TheChicken98]

Everyone looked and pretty much acted perfect except for Karkat who should've been screaming more and have less patience. But Gamzee and Kanaya were acting fine, it's just that Kanaya's hair had to be longer and Gamzee had to be thinner. (Sorry, no offense intended) Other than that it was perfect

[@cryhog]

i still haven't gotten to read this online comic and caught up, but they are actually pretty good playing these characters. xD

[@BoxedHobo]

I don't know, honestly! We don't know most of our audience. :C I would ask them yourself, I'm sorry I can't help you with that.

[@LLawlietFangirl]

As soon as that guy asked if Sollux's preference for red and blue didn't apply to just his appearance, I was immediately like "Dave/Sollux/John What?" So much love for this panel. So much.

[@phoenixstarr44]

@moargangstahthanyou Karkat was asked if he would ever forgive John for throwing a you-know-what at his head. XD; it was a pretty great question but it violation of the Most Important Rule! NO BUCKETS.

[@Saingirl101]

I guess you mean the question for tavros? They asked what he thought of freeform Jazz. To which he said its alright.

[@icnrjxuvntdixyfh]

I have a question for sollux and karkat kinda, where you to ever really friends and if so what happened?! and if not, would you to every really really try to be friends?!

[@kassadymcbride523]

person:why do you like faygo so much? Karkat: THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION(turns to gamzee) Gamzee: WeLl WhY wOuLdNt i lIkE fAyGo So MuCh gamzee you are so cute.

[@Saingirl101]

@phoenixstarr44 Hehe. Your face was so hilarious in that moment. It was one of those beautiful rage faces.

[@sixrudolph866]

what did eridan say at the very begining? in response to the question about where feferi was? everyone laughed and I couldn't understand :/

[@TheSoladygaga22]

Dont hate me but is Karkat being pursonified by a girl, if not SOOOOOOOO sorry, reminds me kind of like The Hillywood show gurl. =D

[@n4mo1]

Tavros is such a cutie. And that eridan is fucking hilarious, he was in a bucket of homestuck and anime detour panelstuck she's great

[@TheLonelyJinx]

I love how Gamzee starts whinin' when Sollux says Karkat hasn't filled any quadrants and sticks his fingers out for a diamond.

[@TheRubythehedgehog]

where did sollux get those glasses? im cosplaying s my homstck charrie fo anime fest this yer and i need some glases like that

[@jazminepatena7352]

Sorry but he's my patron troll so I'm the one who's gonna steal him first bye bye :33 *runs like hell while carrying him*

[@Icecream0monster]

are you guys all your corresponding zodiac signs? Like the friendleaderp is a gemini, buttpilgrim is a taurus, and so on?

[@WaffleTheZombie]

I am so proud of my Patron Troll. "Tr0ll harris0n f0rd" So. So Proud. rolls away to go watch more Indiana Jones

[@uwuuwuquiot8153]

2:32 Random person :i have a question for Sollux Sollux:what the-

[@BoxedHobo]

I believe it was a mix of Jello and Jello pudding. Whatever it was, it was very sugary.

[@flarezonin5974]

lucky!!!!!!!! I'd kill to get my p8tron troll to 8e tavros!!!!!!!! unfourtun8ly, I'm stuck with Vriska )::::

[@TheMightyDuke197]

I feel like girls cosplay as most of the trolls but I'm never positive...anyone got any say on the subject?

[@ultrakoolaid67]

How did you guys get to do this? Me and a group o friends wanna do a panel any advice would be helpful :)

[@BIGALrz053]

This made me laugh so hard I had a coughing attack from my bronchitis. XD Expect a call from my attourneys.

[@BoxedHobo]

Wrong. There was no beer in the sopor slime pie. The pie was just JELLO pudding.

[@ToxicXNature]

You couldn't have put captions again? Now I don't know what they're saying most of the time :(

[@Beeblep]

my question would be " hey um.. Dave i gotta one for ya how a you staying cool next to john?"

[@CMoonToon]

What's the question at 3:51? I can't understand it, but everyone's response is so funny X,D

[@ASVT102200]

1. Eridan, let me love you! *Tackle-Hug*. 2. Rose...yes...snape...yes. 3. Gamzee, i agree.

[@koraichu]

i love the two for one with vriska and the declaration of independence question, with the thief and nic cage wombo combo

[@crazyboonana]

HECK. YES. YOU ARE NOW AUTOMATICALLY AWESOME TO ME. XD I love that Troll Eggs video. XD

[@EvilToastify]

That Declaration of Independence question was the best part of this entire video part xD

[@kuroshitsujidarkart]

Dave took off his glasses and my dog started whimpering. Coinckadink? I think not!! B)

[@Saingirl101]

Dave I have time if you want me to right em out and send them to you?

[@phoenixstarr44]

@Emily Steele Whose to say I wouldn't be offended regardless of what gender I am =\

[@BlackenedNightShade]

I would've asked that Eridan to be my matesprit, wouldn't care if they yelled at me.

[@ChromeMadhatter]

Vriska, Rose: It's hard to be in a friend-zone. It's hard and nobody understands :c

[@TehLambOfAwesome]

"Gamzee why do you like Faygo so much?" THAT IS LIKE ASKING THE SUN WHY IT SHINES.

[@epicbeastmodeness]

you guys aren't that smart...SLIME!!!! ITS SLIME!!! DUH! in other times, faygo.

[@gravendoom75]

has vriska not played fallout 3? she can steal the declaration there plus more!

[@Ngu_Rein]

I didnt hear a certian question. All I know is its about Buckets and Karkat was talking about his age of 6.

[@SquishyCryptid]

No offense to Friendleaderp, but I like his/her John over his/her Sollux. ^^;;

[@TheNikkapus]

I never thought Rose's mom and I had something in common. Harry Potter FTW

[@xXMikoKaoriXx]

Sollux, I think I love you :D. (I'm so glad you're my patron troll

[@karkatvantas8512]

i am dieing from laughter between the Eridan, Sollux & Karkat. But mostly Eridan & Sollux.

[@BotikChan]

is the person playing Karkat a boy? he/she plays him really well :3

[@silverstormalycat]

Could you please add captions? I can't hear most of the questions.

[@harleycain1205]

// What did you make Nepeta's horns out of? Or did you buy them?//

[@moargangstahthanyou]

@phoenixstarr44 I would never for give him if he threw one at me.

[@nuengkwahmrak9757]

UGHH I Can't hear almost any of the questions.... :(

[@Saingirl101]

I don't think so. Also buttpilgrim (Tim) was equius.

[@TanukiYT]

Most people use Model Magic or some sort of clay and paint it :D

[@CrazyKoopaCat]

damnit! this even makes me like vriska! XD they're all so great!

[@Saingirl101]

He was asked "what do you think of freeform jazz?"

[@nverptfaithinamuffin]

0:37 "Speak of the devil?" >translates: "Speaking of Vriska?"
