Conclusion:
Dogs/Cats CAN be controlled, but Humans, cannnot.

Also, Hussie was also probably reffering to the READER and not the characters in the comic.

A friendly reminder to those complaining about “answering too many asks” And such, this blog is ALSO about figuring things out/trying to “decode” messages and things that Hussie has placed in the comic. So what we are doing right now, is relevant.

Oh, good! I'm not the only one confused by this then!. I suppose that would explain it... I guess, maybe, it's just another detail that slipped out of Andrew's memory? He's said that happens on occasion. An explanation would still be nice, though.

Yeah, Andrew HAS said a lot that the comic is so huge, so not everything can be remembered.

Much like me and this blog.

I think they mean "told what to do" in a narrative sense. I think characters in the story can tell them what to do just fine. You just can't boss them around from outside the story. Because we've also seen Tavros control normal guardians, which is something that was said to be impossible in-story.

Personally, I think that when the guardians were controlled, they weren’t exactly being told what to do. It was more like they were being given ideas that they followed through on.

Seems more legit than what I thought, I’m just going to leave this here.

It says on page 004154 that First Guardians can't be told what to do. However, we've seen gCat being controlled by the Condesce and Bec by Tavros. Thoughts?

Wow, I’ve actually been thinking about this. First ask in a while that actually made me think pretty hard. Maybe the guardians were like, I don’t know how to put it, “off guard” a little, so to speak. So they could be controlled? Oh wait, or maybe if like, you are in a panic or NEED something done (like, how an Adrenaline rush would affect a human.) They could control the guardians.

Don't you hate it when you step away from Homestuck for one Disney-esque villain song on the balcony and then come back to find that everything's gone to hell.

Since Jake's dreamself is dead, does that mean he's lost his chance as god tier?
