Fandom:Memes

The MS Paint Adventures fandom have produced a variety of memes, often in response to a particular event in Homestuck, or during long periods without updates. This page lists some of the most well known ones.

Pantskat
Pantskat is a reference to HS 5748 (this page) of Homestuck, where Karkat's clothing appears to merge into a single item, resembling an absurdly tall pair of trousers. It quickly became an ascended meme, with Hussie noting it on his Twitter, and subsequently referencing it within Homestuck in connection with Kankri and the Sufferer, both of whom are noted to have absurdly tall trousers.

Considerably less common memes that also originate from the same page include Sollux in a similar single-piece outfit, Terezi with no arms, and Kanaya with no middle section, due to Eridan's cape appearing to blend in with the background. Unlike Pantskat, these memes have not been referenced in canon.

March Eridan / Crossdressing Eridan
The March image of the 2011 Homestuck calendar featured a crossdressing Eridan that was so popular it eventually became canon in HS 7327 ([S][A6I3] MINISTRIFE!!!). ''This section is a stub. You can help by  expanding it.''

Homestuck Minus
The concept of this meme is to alter Homestuck by removing a character from the narrative and rearranging events and dialogue to accommodate the absence.

Davestuck
An inversion of Homestuck Minus. After Tumblr user Wariofan created a Homestuck Minus Dave post, he received the response,
 * Silly Wariofan
 * One does not simply “homestuck” without Dave

and replied, "You’re right! I’ll fix my mistake by adding in more Dave!" The result of this was a set of panels from Act 6 Intermission 2 having all characters present replaced with Dave, and the chatlogs altered accordingly.

Numerous other such pages have been produced, both with Dave and with other characters such as Aradia.

Janeface
Jane Crocker has become known for her amusing expressions, most especially on HS 6488 (these) HS 6490 (two) pages (and also seen in HS 7152 ([S] Dirk: Unite)). There are various blogs on Tumblr dedicated to the first expression in particular, generally placing it on other characters' faces.

Aradia's HS 7928 (maniacal grin) has begun to receive similar treatment.

Homestuck anime
During the long period without updates in late 2012, the fandom started producing faked anime screenshots, and discussing their favorite "episodes". It quickly became a running joke that the various episodes had massively varying art styles and qualities, but it was insisted that there was an anime despite the obvious evidence contrary to the claim.

With Equius
In October 2012, a meme emerged of Equius being inserted into various group pictures or scenes, often of popular media, the title of which would be suffixed, "with Equius" or, in cases where it fit better, "and Equius". For example, "Adventure Time with Finn and Jake and Equius".

Transitive property of Nepeta
A meme on the MSPA Forums dating back to when the identity of was still unknown and many guesses were made to his identity, with Nepeta frequently joked to be. Later it became common to claim any and all characters were in fact, Nepeta. Because of this all characters were claimed to be all other characters because they were in fact, Nepeta.

Simply put: Everyone = Nepeta = Everyone Therefore: Everyone = Everyone

In a possible reference to this, in conversation between Calliope and Roxy, when Calliope suggests a gambit against those in 's service, Roxy assumes it involves Fefetasprite, a character who literally is Nepeta, as a secret weapon.

The Baby is You
The Baby is You is an album by Toby "Radiation" Fox, a member of the Homestuck Music Team. John walks in to discover that Dave has somehow became pregnant and is near to giving birth. When John asks who the father is Dave refuses to answer, causing John to ask in confusion who the baby is, to which Dave answers "the baby john... is you". Discussion of the album has become forbidden on the MSPA Forums causing it to gain the moniker The Opera That Must Not Be Named.
