Since we have officially entered the Weentime Possibility Days, I'd like to kick off the fourth annual Homestar Ween Con! Take some time out of your day to do fun things that result in enjoyment! It's been a long time (okay, a year, max) since I've watched the old Halloween toons, so I'll probably do a marathon of those. As always, use this thread for posting speculation about the toon, fanstuff, and any and all idle chatter. I'm excited that we seem to have a storybook style Halloween toon on the horizon! I've been picturing something like a Halloween Homestar Runner Goes for the Gold (except the story is probably alive and trying to kill them or something), with cuts back and forth from the book to modern day, since the modern day characters have to be in it somehow. Of course, since I just said that, it'll probably be nothing like that. All we know is that those wiggly trees are in it somewhere. I like those trees. Anyway, I'm kind of busy today unfortunately, but I'll try and join in my own festivities as much as possible. Happy Halloween to all! Attachments:

Cool times! I guess I'll celebrate by playing some games and working on my various Homestar Scratch stuffs. I also have another Horrible Painting Email in the works, so I'm hoping to get that done by Halloween. Also, I've created a temporary Discord channel again this year for anyone who wants to participate in whatever anyone wants to participate in. Also I like the banners you do every year. Those are cool.

I'm doing my annual teaser guesses again. 'Cept this time I won't even bother with actual guesses of my own. I'll just decompile the Flash file and point out small observations, and maybe weigh in on other people's predictions. He looks exactly the same aside from a lack of hair and a head bump. The bump could be glasses or a large visor (which is likely, considering he usually dresses up as sci-fi characters). He has a hat. ...Moving on. Uh-huh. You can still see what appears to be his soft-serve flip, so I'm guessing that isn't a hat. If it was a mustache, it would probably be more off-center (assuming he's not looking directly at the camera), so it's probably pointy ears or something. (There are also faint ear-like bumps, so they're not completely smooth.) There's also a shirt or coat of some kind. Tall fuzzy winter hat, hair flowing in the breeze dramatically, and fuzzy tufts on her dress. It looks like she could have earmuffs as well, but that bump could just be more hair. Same as usual. I dunno. He has weird bumps by his hair tufts, and a flat bottom. Also, there is a slight indentation under his reaper's scythe facebone, but it's so small it could just be an error or something. Some people have guessed Snufkin. I have no idea what that is, but I 100% agree. Identical feathered hat, hair, distinctly-shaped backpack, a hint of a scarf, tattered coat, pants, and big floppy shoes with the same laces. He looks bald aside from six big, messy, sticking-out hair tufts. He has bumps along his arms like sleeves, and his pant legs are bunched up at the bottom. This silhouette strikes me as a creepy clown-type thing for some reason. Rolling pin, earrings, weird hair, long sleeveless shirt, and a bump on the side of his head, which looks like it could be pointy old lady glasses. I have zero doubt (okay, maybe zero point one) that he is dressed as a Burt from the Yoshi series, as some have guessed. Exact same face bumps, lack of arms or head, and outward-facing feet. He has flat hair or a hat or something. (Pretty sure it's not part of his head, because you can see his regular head shape protruding into it.) He also appears to have a belt, collar (beneath where his shirt starts), and a slightly tattered shirt. There's also a spike behind his head, which could be part of his shirt, like a hood almost. You will find out in due time. I don't feel like doing any desilhouettizing this year, so I won't.

I don't have much to add to that, except that the Poopsmith's accessory is definitely eyewear, and I have a hunch The Cheat may be wearing a shirt or something, explaining some of the shape. And Strong Sad is vaguely creeping me out. For some reason I'm only now seeing the "hair flowing in the breeze dramatically" on Marzipan — I had been seeing it more like some creepy wavy unnatural appendages. I rather prefer your explanation. As for Homestar, I don't know anything about Snufkin either, but I'm really enjoying this prancy trend of his recent costumes (I'm reminded a bit of Mr. B Natural). Feathered hat and coat is a good look on him.
