Catra Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 True enough. If it was Dave I could see the oh nos being sarcastic, but I'm not sure sarcasm is in John's dictionary. Or dauntingly large tome penned by Colonel Sassacre.Sarcasm is quite in John's dictionary. He's not exactly the lovable derp the fandom makes him out to be; in fact at times he can be kinda a prick.

HeavyMetalSunshineSister Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Oh, he can be a bit of a prick, sure, but he's never quite convinced me that he's bright enough to make an effective use of sarcasm.

He's nice, sure, but he shows no emotional depth compared to the other kids or some of the more prominent trolls. He seems to be only marginally aware of the fact that love, hatred, and sarcasm are even things.He's just not interesting! I go into a story not caring much about the characters, and they more often than not give me a reason to care. That's been the case with the other kids - Rose and Dave's stoicism cracking, Dave learning to accept himself for who he is, Rose overcoming the darker part of her nature, Jade losing everything special she had and having to work her way up... all of that made them interesting.John's basically the same derp he was at the beginning of Homestuck, albeit one with the powers of a demigod and significantly more MANGRIT. Zero development, zero depth. Who cares about him?

HeavyMetalSunshineSister Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Well, John's an okay character, and I'm not precisely saying he's an intellectual brick, he's just... a bit thick, really. Only he would fail to remember how trolls view buckets until mid-throw.

Zero development, zero depth. Who cares about him? Not me.And wow this turned into a "why I hate John" rant really fast-CanamaOuch...I see where you're coming from, but I can't agree with you. Yes, John has changed little from the start of the story. No, I don't think that means he has no character depth.It's true that he doesn't understand how or why a lot of things happen and as the the session progresses he doesn't really grasp the danger or the stakes. That's just a fact of John. But he does care a lot about his friends. Where the others get sidetracked by the sheer size of what they're up against, John still keeps to his own simple views. He is always focused on the present and reacts to what's happening in the here and now. (Probably the reason that he's the kid with the least amount of time stuff happening to him.) In many ways I think John feels bad that he doesn't grasp the bigger things that, Jade, Dave, and Rose understand. I also think he knows he never will. So he does what he can, often helping the others with tasks or choirs. So, in my opinion John's character depth doesn't come from him changing, but from how he doesn't change. He's not dumb enough to realize bad things aren't happening. But he also doesn't let that control his actions or thoughts.Just my $0.02.

HeavyMetalSunshineSister Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) You put it so much better than I could. He's a little thick, certainly not clever, but he isn't precisely stupid, and he's still a functional character.

Phyoohrii Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 This is now my favourite "funny" flash. Or it's at least a tie with the combo of the Dad's Room flash and the original Mental Breakdown flash. My gosh, I was beside myself with hysterics after it, and even more so after the Easter Egg.
