Well, they clearly do remember what their webpage was because they’re discussing an article on it about why a band must be non-human (at least, Jonah is — we’ll have to wait until we get past the characters-having-entirely-separate-conversations bit before we’re sure about Nera) . Unless they’ve rationalised that they write some kind of epistolary-style fantasy-AU real-person fic.
My head canon is that Phil the Mynah has also been made blind to all the talking animals. This would imply that Phil can no longer communicate with anyone at all, except for the few non-reality-blind humans.
The “Y” is the line between the body of the shirt and the sleeve along with a crease. “BIGROOT” sounds like it’s a reference to a giant tree monster (à la bigfoot and Groot).
Their reappearance raises an interesting question: How long has it been, in-story, since “Grillo Parlante?” For that matter, what year is it?
GP is explicitly set two years after “Choose,” with the two of them a few months away from their eighteenth birthdays. If this gap also follows real-time, then they should be about twenty-one.
That said, I’m not sure the timeline has quite as tight elsewhere…
The alternate reality in “Looking Glass Land,” for instance, had a President Trump, and that was apparently contemporaneous with the main one. Not that that means too much, granted, but it’s worth noting.
What other specific time-markers are there?
“Dead Dogs/Big Bad Wolves” is the only one that springs to mind, being set in 2009. But I’m sure there are plenty of others that I’ve missed.
Not yet. Anasigma isn’t the kind of agency that would let a minor thing like national borders stop their ambitions. This is just the beginning.
Although if Nera, who isn’t wearing a colander or tinfoil hat, is unaffected by the Crown, then A-Sig’s plans might not be as all-encompassing as they believe.
Zeta. Zeta Vincent. She could change her name to Narbon, since she finally found out she came from Helen, but for professional reasons, she undoubtedly left it as Vincent. No hamsters, though – they weren’t part of the posse. Mell and Zeta and Foot were trying to kill them.
So it seems like Nera is immune too. At least so far.
Or they are not immune but they just noticed their web service is down.
And they have no memory of what their web page was or why it should have been high in the first place.
They are undoubtedly immune. They’ve seen far too much weirdness — even fought to help the weird — to be blinded easily.

Highlights (the band) has a fairly happy sound, so I’m surprised by Yu’s pick.
Misdirection.
Nov shmoz K-pop?
Groan, facepalm, shoves a token valued at one Internet at Pygar.
That was painful. As all truly good puns should be.

Normal people don’t hear talking animals. Phil is a normal person. Therefore, Phil can’t hear talking animals, even if only by force of will.
If their server was down it was probably in Houston during the hurricane.
I can vouch for that assessment!!!
Or in Puerto Rico right now?
Why would they put their server in Puerto Rico though
Cheapness.
Is that a literal tinfoil hat
No, it’s a noodle colander with wires laced through.
Traditional headware of the Pastafarian faith
Yes, but only for the Priests and Chefs.
Traditionally worn on the noodle.
Does Jonah’s shirt say “YBIGGROOT”? If so, I don’t get it.
The “Y” is the line between the body of the shirt and the sleeve along with a crease. “BIGROOT” sounds like it’s a reference to a giant tree monster (à la bigfoot and Groot).
I don’t think that’s an R, zooming in it looks like a plain old F, for a “plain” old BIGFOOT shirt.
Upon closer inspection, I agree.
Ah, yes, I see. That would fit. I guess my eyes were very tired last night. Thanks awesome SH fans with better eyes than mine!

Looking Glass Land takes place 5 years after And All the Lovely Ladies.
So it only affected the US.
So canada is safe?
No it primarially affected the US
The others are down, it’s just the US is affected by 100%
Well, this confirms that the sudden reality-blindness is nation-wide, and not just restricted to Vermont.
But apparently not world-wide.
Not 100% worldwide anyway

Bigfoot… afoot… how long is it before “Foot” makes an appearance?
With his posse? The reporter(forgot her name), Mell, and the hamsters?
Zeta. Zeta Vincent. She could change her name to Narbon, since she finally found out she came from Helen, but for professional reasons, she undoubtedly left it as Vincent. No hamsters, though – they weren’t part of the posse. Mell and Zeta and Foot were trying to kill them.
Hmm… That was supposed to be a reply to OneUniverse’s comment.
What about Hawaii, Alaska, and outlying US territories and protectorates?!
PS- also Canada?

Oh, give back that traffic to me.

It’s gone by a massive reduction.
It’s gone by a hundred percent.

We thought that the server was spent.
We thought, we thought,

Oh, reboot the source of the problem,
And reboot it ASAP.

Nice.
It’s simple but has a nice flow solid B material
Well, I didn’t really have time to seek out something better to parody…it’s been a busy week
