Or maybe I just felt like sharing this. http://comic.naver.com/webtoon/detail.nhn?titleId=350217&no=20 It's in Korean but that shouldn't matter - fairly short and just scroll down and look at them pictures. I quite liked the concept within it, I have to say. (If you want

That Korean comic...@_@ I don't think I want to read the rough translation, haha.

Blehhh, you remind me that I need to check up on Homestuck again. I stopped at the July 14 update because I was suddenly busy with real life, writing, and betaing. Hussie just announced he won't update anymore for a while until he gets the end of Act 5 animation done, so I'm going to try to play catch up now. Real quick, I don't know what you mean by honkpapshoosh nor listened to the music yet. I'll let you know when I'm caught up!

[bobnbill]

I take it you liked the comic then. ;p

And yes, you do need to catch up. And...you will find out when you get to it. =p

Welp. That'll be burned into my head for the rest of eternity. Thank you, Marcin.

Or not. :|

I showed Marcin that one, and he pretty much immediately reacted with 'Jax will love this!' =p

But yes, I got so completely startled by it I almost forgot to sleep. It really catches you off guard! D:

IN WHICH JAX IS NOT A WUSS AT ALL.

GEE, THANKS, SKY.

Seriously, yeah. It's startling. But a little bit less "OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD" now thanks to the rough translation. The kids on that thread are right: knowing that the girl survived without a scratch makes a person think that besides psychological shock, the ghost doesn't do much. In fact, now that I think about it, it's actually kinda sad because it's just a mother looking for her baby girl.

...Yet I'm still not looking at that fucking GIF again.

It's cool to be a wuss! :D I'm a total wuss! Also it was still Marcin's idea to show you =p

I have to agree that knowing the details makes it a lot less disturbing - it sorta reminded me of Higurashi before I read the translation. The shock is less 'creepy and makes you lay awake at night' and closer to 'holy crap I just evacuated my bowels'.

The interesting thing is that it's not actually a gif - there's some kind of script in the webpage that activates when you scroll to a certain point. If you go back after it activates, you can see the frame by frame reveal. I think that's why it catches you off guard so well - it's not something you see very often.

... However, I have no plans to look at it again either. ._.

For some reason, that... didn't really scare me. o.o I mean, I thought it was creepy, sure, especially once I read those translations (thanks for linking to those, by the way), but I don't think it's going to give me any nightmares or anything.

Agreed about that music. :D Liked the art quite a bit, too.

Okay, so it turns out that I wasn't getting the full experience with regards to that comic since the browser I used to look at it previously didn't load it right. Tried the link on Chrome and oh yeah, it worked this time.

I jumped in my seat a bit, but I probably would have reacted more strongly to it if I hadn't already experienced a watered-down, movement- and noise-free version beforehand. Why I'm lamenting the fact that I didn't get to get scared as badly as I could have, I have no idea, but there it is.

[bobnbill]

Damn, pity your browser derped a herp with it. =( I didn't get too scared myself though but partly because I was darn impressed by how they did it. XD

And here's one of the set of images done in that flash! http://lazylaz.tumblr.com/post/9242576250 Do agree the art was quite good.

:D Yay. Thanks for the link!
