Author commentary: Lest Homestuck's vast, tendrilous corpus gradually fade from memory entirely, "hopy shit" is a reference to a line from a Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff comic, wherein Jeff exclaimed "hopy shit" to communicate astonishment at the size of a large, yellow dog named Peaches. I put that line in the SBaHJ comic originally because one time, probably days prior to making it, I overheard a young child saying, "Holy shit, that dog is HUGE!" and thought it was a funny line because the dog he was talking about wasn't even that big. Oh also, Rose just comes out and admits she's copy/pasting the house structure now, thereby stealing the thunder from my note on the previous page. I feel like this happens a lot??

Rose talks of "methods of persuasion" and "coercion" when it comes to getting Nanna and the consorts to do things for her. This seems like a pretty ominous way of putting it. Is she... Is she TORTURING John's grandmother and a bunch of cute salamanders?? Dear God. I mean, probably not? But it sort of hints that something's up with Rose. We'll cut to her soon to find out what. And be like, "Oh I see, it's just her goth phase." Sounds about right.
