[text] I am sorry to every single Homestuck RPer.

[herpderphero]

oka wait this isn't going to work >:(

um, is this better?? wait wait ta-da!!!

oh right, um! this is amadeus! i want to ask something that has to do with font!

i know there's a lot of AUs
or OUs
or...whatever you'd prefer i call you!!

but, why does everyone use the same font? doesn't that strike anyone else as weird??? i mean, i don't know why dick (our DM!!!) was insistent, but i'm just curious, is all!

maybe if we didn't all type in courier we wouldn't have all those sad accidents of people mistaking others by fonts or whatever!

not that i think anyone is entitled to keep theirs over anyone elses!

okay maybe this was a bad idea

I don't know. I just tend to go with whatever the default is, as long as it's functional.

i feel like i should keep apologizing whenever ammy does anything

[herpderphero]

well, i guess people like having character online!
it keeps from that anonymous feel of arial!
but it sort of ends up confusing when everyone is using similiar things due to time/space/universe/bluh shenannigains!!

so, i'm going to use this from now on 8) now nobody will confuse me for john!

[beknightedheroine]

that is really blue ('◇') my hair is kinda that color but not as bright

how do you mess with these settings give me a minute

this one

[herpderphero]

yea, like that!!!
i dunno...i like this color a lot! it's, perky!

i guess it might be too bright :/ i'll have to mess with it, but HTML isn't my strong suite
it sure is fun to play with though!

[fabricates]

8ecause this looks 8est! Why change from the 8est, Ethel8ert?
Your text looks ridiculous now.

[herpderphero]

this is my second favorite color :(
it's like
neon teal blue sky candy lights or something!!!!

anyway, it makes me kinda nostalgic, 'cos it's the color of my bedroom
and my house
actually, okay, i guess a lot of my house is this color :|

this better???????? :P

Don't apologize. Never apologize.

[windykind]

well, for me it's because i used this font and color on pesterchum!
and now that i'm in the tower network here it seems appropriate to keep using it.
i just dropped part of it though.

EB: otherwise i would have to type like this.
EB: typing it out is kind of a pain.
EB: i'd probably forget it somewhere...

all the apologizing forever

[herpderphero]

do you remember why you picked it though??
i mean, i don't want to sit here and claim that my universe made your universe
which was also made by the troll universe
which also has an alternate universe
or six
and also ancestor campaign stuff
and like what two scratches?

but i think if there was someone making money off all this courier we would be making them rich!

um, you're okay right, lil' man?
i mean you're sort of
like
my little brother in a way i guess, so i feel bad i haven't kept an eye on you!

bet you never would'a guessed this is [text]

[metawoof]

oh that is a good idea
here let me try like this :o

oh dont worry ammy i am fine
i think dick just likes courier tbh

nope i would have never known!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[herpderphero]

chi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

heehee okay so THIS

or THIS?

i'm messing with the color too, i think the one i was using earlier is too bright :/

[fracta_anima]

That's why I make mine pink, myself. I don't mind using the default font! 8)

[herpderphero]

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<color="#00d5f3">') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

<color="#00d5f3">i think the default is arial?
maybe
i'm actually really bad a calligraphy

but hey, that's something! i mean, it makes you stand out
it's also a pretty pink</font>

[evokingfool]

I usually stick with the default. [With proper typing!]

i am so sorry

[herpderphero]

but doesn't that get boring?
you'll end up lost in a sea of never-ending black and standard!
never to stand up and have a life full of
COLOR!!!!!!!!

[verymuchalive]

i dont know
i guess we just stick with what were used to
i know for trolls its a reflection of their blood colour
so it doesnt occur to us to change
but you can tell the difference between me and my ancestor pretty easily
she still does the whole 0 replacement thing and i dont

[herpderphero]

considering how much troll stuff involves getting murderized and turned in to delicious meatgrub loaf over silly bloodcolor shenannigains
it just always seemed like a dick move to have them type like that!
of course, this is coming from my experience with this stuff being um
a D&D campaign with a really mean DM who made rules to basically make everyone's lives more suffering than puella magi
but it just sort of seems sad that it's so easy to judge based on that :(

oh course, i'm a derpy silly human butt who is not very good at cultural sensitivity i guess!
so maybe i should just accept it?
i dunno
i just hope you guys are okay with it! :(

wait your ancestor is here??
oh geez she's probably
she's probably not as nice as i'd like to remember, huh
it's hard to reconcile this stuff!!!!

[restitchtime]

Because if the people I'm talking with are moronic enough to mistake me for someone else just from my text color they're not worth bending over backwards for.

[herpderphero]

okay you're definitely not raiden or there'd be more "sup" in that
and you're not dave obviously 'cos you actually can find the shift key
(heehee)
and those are periods!!
so you're a red rose?
maybe??
unless you're just using that font to mess with me, given people-who-tend-to-use-red-font i would not be surprised

[mamadonna]

Oh, Is There A Method By Which We Can Alter It?

[ SHE'S ONLY JUST ENCOUNTERED A COMPUTER FOR THE FIRST TIME A FEW WEEKS AGO. ]

[herpderphero]

you're not already?
i mean
okay you're not kanaya right
'cos if not, you can kinda tweak the font stuff with typing HTML!

come to think, how did HTML occur on both planets?
bluh this stuff gets complicated

but if you want, i can try and help!
do you want to change it?

[empurress]

>:ε ~the empurress glubs fiercely~
>:ε ~ i like using furrier! its cute!

[herpderphero]

okay
okay THAT is new
or just, nina rolling up another recolor of nepeta
which i am
pretty okay with actually!

um, but, i guess it is cute
as cute as a font can be
comic sans just seems cuddlier :(
it sort of looks like balloon animals!

kinda

[guiltapalooza]

I just use it because it was the default on my computer at home. I never thought about changing it.

Do you have any suggestions, esteemed Amadeus? I'm all for not mistaking everyone for each other more than I already have.

[herpderphero]

oh hey, willow!
sorry i've been in kind of a funk lately
raiden disappeared :( i think he's like, gone-gone
its sort of
hard

but that aside, uh
really, i dunno!
maybe we should start using different screen names in network posts like
(okay this is my real, not-john one at home, so don't laugh)

houdinisghost2: like this?
that way it'll be at the top, see?
everyone would know it's me
(cos nobody else would have such a dumb screen name, sigh)

[thekidsare0kay]

becau2e couriier ii2 two cool for 2choolfeediing.
okay ii don't know, actually.
the truth ii2 trolliian only has that font a2 an optiion, and iit ju2t doe2n't look riight otherwii2e even though ii'm not u2iing trolliian riight now.

[herpderphero]

wait
really?

[HOLY CRAP A STRAIGHT ANSWER. From...the least and most likely source.]

wow, that is
okay trolls don't like fashion and decorating stuff much so i guess i can kinda see the logic
if i squint
and do a handstand
