[@Lunahrt]

Vriska: AND HE'S STILL WEAK! WEAKY WEAKY WEAK!*smacks butt* XD I died

[@themightymonarch2109]

Classic, right.

[@aaronharnage1143]

This is why I don't like virska as a charter she is evil and mean and she was making fun of the handicap is that so funny

[@poopybutt1913]

Aaron harnage no one is evil

[@SkorpionDoorman]

@@aaronharnage1143 I'm pretty sure in Homestuck it's made perfectly clear that when it comes to the Trolls that none of them, in particular, are truly evil, a lot of them are either complete jerks to one another as well or just fucked in the head a bit in their own ways. Gamzee is practically a serial killer if not on his Sopor Slime. Eridan can be a stubborn prick, especially with Sollux and Feferi. Karkat can be an insensitive jerk and unnecessarily rude at times. Equius... I'm pretty sure we can ALL know what's wrong with HIM. Aradia before revival was too brain dead to even have a clear head to save her life or rather lack thereof. Tavros can't decide half the time if he hates Vriska's guts or likes her even after all she did and it's frustrating for someone like me who knows that those two should've stayed in the Kismisis Quadrant after the accident but he's just too brain dead to keep his mind focused for two measly seconds. Kanaya could practically fly off the handle for little reason, I mean if she was mad enough to kick Gamzee in the bulge hard enough to send him flying and punch Vriska almost the fuck out, BEFORE, slicing Eriden in half over a DRESS, then who's to say she wouldn't just fly off the handle for something even less trivial? And Vriska's attention happy attitude stems from her idolizing her ancestor because of Mindfang's journal and being the one to technically defeat the last boss. Counting Vriska, that's 8 out of the 12 Zodiac trolls that I could name off the top of my head that something wrong about them. I didn't count Feferi, Sollux, Nepeta or Terezi because neither of them really has anything distinctly wrong with themselves in the sense of "complete Jerk to the others" or "fucked in the head a bit".

29:23 Rose this is a court room stop texting

[@sophiasilentstar8989]

I think she might have a wireless connection to the speakers with the phone...

[@sophiasilentstar8989]

Sophia Silentstar Wait... She put the phone next to the microphone XD

[@yesthisiskenzie]

This is by far one of the best scripted, best cast, best executed, best cosplayed panels I've ever seen! The voices, cosplays, and acting are all completely spot on! I can't believe you guys didn't have a bigger turn out! (although it seems like it was early in the morning, so that's pretty understandable) Scripted shows have the potential to be bland or exciting and fun and it was most definitely the latter! There was just enough audience interaction to keep them interested and I LOVE the way this was carried out! Wonderful job, and I'll be excited to see more from you guys in the future!

[@KitsuneSefam]

The panel was early in the morning, so the turnup wasn't that big. But now they have a bigger audience: The INTERNET!

[@ohman2707]

Actually, if you looked at this from another more serious standpoint, Eridan would've been innocent on the account of murder because Feferi DID strike first. Vriska should've had clean hands because Terezi didn't provide evidence for the first murder, and for the second Tavros definitely struck first. Most of Kanaya's accounts of the events were hardly justified. But Gamzee is guilty no matter what and that's it.

[@Melodybrine]

They should be put on trial for KILLING THE STAND XD

[@KrissLucia]

Wow, Terezi was awesome here.

[@uwwr]

slayed you're so iconic and i'm smilin and i love you

[@edenchyun5817]

Oh my god Nepeta and Equius were perfect. Especially the "awww!" coming from the audience when Nepeta came up

[@DaStrikey]

You can tell from the very beginning they have all worked SO hard in preparation for this panel, limitless talent and character personality on point! Not to mention stunning cosplays too! It's panels and people like these beauties who really do make me boost my confidence up, and maybe do something like this myself in the near future..

[@emmam-g8598]

trying not to spit out milk from laughing because this is perfect "ORD3R, ORD3R!" but it does havve a lot of logic behind it its perfect enough said

[@ChibiGamerBrony]

I loved the Equius and Nepeta cosplay and height wise the proportions, for me at least, was purrrfect~ They were so kawaii! x3

[@willowlove5]

At 30:34 I noticed mohawkdandy with terminallyxsadistic by his side and I fangirled. I fangirled all over the place because I love them and the story of how they met and how they cosplay together as Tavros and Gamzee and- just- alsfkjdslkfjsds

[@rinh3088]

Yes it was a real pleasure seeing them at my panel. It truly was an honor having really great people wake up as early as they did to see my panel. //fangirls with you//

[@emileerainey2412]

AWWWWW...That Equius...That Nepeta....OMG they were soooo cute!!! And then when Karkat stepped up for Gamzee...

[@maggiepeters5899]

pretty sure I just fell in love with the Tavros cosplayer

[@squishypineapple4268]

Omg same he was soooo adorable ♡

[@c4tboysupr3m4cy_3]

[@fomalhaut_the_great]

not sure why i got recommended this in 2023 but i support it

[@Rainbowshys]

My dream is to one day to go to this type of panel while cosplaying as Phoenix Wright, so whenever the jury gets to discuss the verdict I can yell "Objection! The defendant is obviously not at fault in this case! There are no autopsies from the case, and therefore there is no evidence against my client. Furthermore, my client was NOT responsible for their actions. They were simply defending themselves. As you can see from their actions, my client has shown symptoms of ASPD and should not be held accountable for their actions, as he is susceptible to mood swings and violent tendencies. Take that!"

[@avidarois5505]

Ka boom.

[@LPSlover123lover]

That eridan voice........PERFECT!!!!!.........almost........

[@creeperslimes7972]

"OH! and then he killed me"

[@angelthedevilneko5330]

Vriska: you too Mabel, i see you Mabel cosplayer: *GETS TERRIFIED* me: I mean it DOES make sence, in weirdmageton, bill did trap her in a "dream bubble" after he knocked her out after opening the portal, ( I completely forgot what if way the portal was called)

[@absentcoder4552]

(Vriska's trial): Ms. Pyrope, I demand your immediate recusal from this case! Not only have you placed the jury on a time limit, next-to-nullifying the needed 100-0 vote needed for a verdict, but you have shown clear bias towards Ms. Serket! Personal vendettas are not be in a court of law, and thus, neither should you!

[@lordme-me5315]

I really loved Terezi,Vriska,Equius,Nepeta, and Kanaya's cosplay! Really nice!

[@toastgineer4752]

The golden age of homestuck Vriskas voice tho

[@emilavoie]

this is amazing! the Aradia, Nepeta and Tavros were so cute!

[@darkstar7988]

"its not magic" "its science!"

[@ZerrekTheDog]

I'm still amazed by how well the audience participated and the cosplayers' job at capturing their characters, this is something that brings me joy every time I watch it.

[@ZerrekTheDog]

Rewatching this makes me realize it's just as enjoyable as it was back then.

[@AlleyArtisticDTW]

Why is nepeta so adorable..... ;-;

[@rammysayshello9348]

[@catisyellen9877]

I really hope our Homestuck panel at World Con this year will turn out okay, if it turns out at all. I'm very worried about it. We only have three people for it so far. A Dave, Terezi, and I think either Eridan or Karkat.

[@CrappyNit]

¡NEPETA IS SO CUTE!

[@AquilaCat]

This is one of the most amazing panels I have EVER seen. Wish I could have been there to witness this.

[@cactusc9519]

a excellent and just trial, i'm glad someone is finally bringing law and justice to this meteor. however i have one request justice and her most honorable judge pyrope may be blind, but some of the viewers are half deaf, would it be possible to get captions? if not i can always try licking the screen?

[@wormsontoast]

I find that sniffing the screen helps more than tasting

[@elizabethvantas424]

when Karkat said that before Terezi said it was a game I got the feels and cried a bit. lol.

[@jschaeffer3440]

omg this is awesome the cosplays are great the acting was great the stand was just beautiful your projection was pefect when you didnt have the mic also RIP your stand killed by Vriska 2013-2013 XD :(

[@timorousfanatic8702]

This is such a creative idea and all the characters are on point!! :D

[@Brookewild1]

Tavros. That Tavros cosplayer is soooo cuteeeee!!!

[@izzy-hands]

i think i just fell in love with the eridan cosplayer.

[@emilybarbacker8550]

Is it bad to say that I absolutely love the Dave's voice?

[@kannykake.creation8461]

That was so amazing omfg loved this x1000000000

[@Boxicron]

@wow hair ^^completely right^^ so fucking tired of this fandom putting such a negative light on eridan. repeat after me: -eridan doesn’t love buckets. -buckets scare them. -buckets aren’t cool. -eridan isn’t forever alone. -eridan isn’t weak. -eridan is not desperate. -eridan didnt kill feferi out of jealousy. -sollux started the fight and angered eridan. -eridan was trying to save feferi. -feferi lunged at him first. -eridan is a huge fucking nerd. stop it fandom.... stop it

[@rinh3088]

ahh see, this is where terezi's character comes into play. yes, we had eridan say that he did everything in self defense but terezi is such a manipulative character that she will lead the audience to believe he is guilty..

[@Boxicron]

Catherine Hobbs I agree that terezi would be able to do that, but lets face it, the people in that crowd were looking at eridan like he was fandom eridan, not canon eridan. that's probably the biggest deciding factor that was being played when they were asked to raised their hands. they all saw "sniveling, desperate, love struck, crazy murderer just having a hissy fit" as opposed to "broken down, betrayed, caught in the moment teen being faced with a situation no one his age (whether they be troll or human) should ever be faced with" but again, I do agree that in reality, terezi probably would be able to convince a whole crowd that he was guilty.

[@TwistedShizukaTan]

Also when people say that Eridan is the most unsuccessful in quadrants they are completely wrong. He gained a Kismesis and A moirail at pretty much the same time. This makes Eridan one of the most successful trolls with quadrants.

[@laycieslone918]

"Vriska, what happe-" *breaks the stand* "damn, Vriska :////"

[@SHSLRandomness]

That aradia was so perfect XD

[@Jeggbert]

THIS NEEDS MORE VIEWS! I watched the whole thing and it was so amazing! I hope to see more of these trials!

[@poisen06]

16:00 don't mind me just making a book mark for how long i was in this is amazing

[@pasteldreamer4498]

Eridan: Not Guilty reason: he defended himself Kanya: Guilty reason: Seriously. You kill Eridan because you are pissed. Gamzee: Not Guilty reason: He was not controlling himself, Cal was. That's right. Cal was mind controlling Gamzee.

[@pasteldreamer4498]

And I'm not very sure about Vriska...

I don't think you understand how Court works. Fucking mongoloid.
