## are you guys going to make Rose (FINALLY) play the rain???

Bringing Rose’s character arc to a satisfying close is a definite goal. Whether that involves playing the rain or not, you’ll have to keep reading to find out :o)

## Will the sylph of rage girl ever have a name?

The Sylph of Rage is quite mysterious, so her true name may never be revealed within Act 8 proper.

## Status Upd8 Saturday

It’s that time again!

Here’s what Team 8 has been busy with this week:

- Completed and posted the Lord English slideshow flash.
- Completed Act 8 Act 2 Part 1.
- Colors are done for Act 8 Act 2 Part 2 (shout out to @calicorn for getting those done at warp speed!)
- Began work on a Secret Thing.
- Continued work on another Secret Thing.
- So mysterious, oOooo~
- Thumbed & assigned lines for Act 8 Act 2 Part 2.
- Began draft and started revisions on Act 8 Act 2 Part 3.
- Caught up on some Asks.

We have also had a team member volunteer to get the rest of Act 8′s flash content up on YouTube, so that should really and truly be happening this week.

At this time Act 8 is updating regularly on Wednesdays and Saturdays, so if you missed today’s upd8 go check it out :o)

## Is there a place where i can wath the latest flash? I'm on mobile because my laptop broke a while ago, :S

Not quite yet I’m afraid, but it should be on our YouTube channel within the next few days.

2016-06-19 4:14:23 ¶ ●

## will there be any jaderosekan mayhaps? is that a possibility maybe? romo or bros, both r good

I’m going to sidestep the romance aspect here, but Team 8 definitely likes to see lady Homestuck characters talking to each other and hanging out, so it’s quite likely we’ll see these 3 interact somehow, though I can’t absolutely guarantee it.

2016-06-19 4:32:17 ¶ ●

## eridan isn't the most popular character, i know. but if we could just get a LITTLE bit of him without him being the butt of a joke. even as just a ghost. that would be *much* appreciated. love what you've got so far! best of luck with the comic and remember not to overwork yourselves!

Aww, thanks for the well wishes, Anon!

This question falls under the “will [character] appear in Act 8″ sort of Asks that we’ve supposedly stopped answering, but I am feeling flush with Upd8 benevolence.

Team 8 really tries for a No Character Left Behind sort of approach, so while we can’t make absolute guarantees for every specific character, I will say that as one of the actual session players, I would be very surprised if we didn’t at least see Eridan again in some form before Act 8 comes to a close.

2016-06-19 4:33:24 ¶ ●

## Will we have some romantic/talking interaction between ships like Rosemary or Davekat? :0

There will be mild on-screen romance for canon ships.

2016-06-19 4:38:54 ¶ ●

## please tell me jade will be an actual character with an actual personality and not just a plot device in act 8 ):

Team 8 is generally not fond of the characters-as-plot-devices approach to writing, and many of us are fond of Jade, so I think you will not be disappointed, Anon.

2016-06-19 4:46:58 ¶ ●

## Page 61 currently leads back to page 28, the only place from there being 29 and so on. Was this intentional? Or is one of the other panels on 28 supposed to lead to 62?

Yup, this was intentional! It’s a hub through which other scenes will be accessible soon (but not yet).

2016-06-20 23:17:40 ¶ ●

## just wanted to say that the art for Act 8 is gorgeous and you all are doing a great job!!

Thanks so much! We’re glad that people have been enjoying it :o)

2016-06-20 23:46:08 ¶ ●

## will shrek get a redemption arc in act 8

Shrek will never get a redemption arc now, as punishment for this Ask making me spit-take in real life :’(

## UPDATE!?!?!?

now.

2016-06-23 1:53:59 ¶ ●

Act 8 has updated with Act 2: Panels 34-39

> Act 8 is a project by fans, for fans, to produce a (largely) canon-compliant fanwork that expands on the Homestuck ending. It’s a celebration of our fandom’s ingenuity, an ACT of love towards Homestuck as a story and a larger phenomenon. It’s also just for the fun of it.

## 7/1/16 ???? What happens then?

It is a mystery. Perhaps even to us.

2016-06-23 18:15:06 ¶ ●

## *Barges into the Act 8 offices* I DEMAND TO SPEAK TO THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING DAVEPETA THE CUTEST AND BEST CHARACTER!

That would be Andrew Hussie! We here at Team 8 are just following this fine and noble tradition :3c

(Though if you want to know who does the art for each sub-Act around here, you can check our Credits Page on the forum.)

2016-06-23 18:16:26 ¶ ●

## I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH

*blush emoji*

2016-06-23 18:20:40 ¶ ●

## I just love how in a far distance from calliope and davepeta you can see jade and davepeta :D

Thanks @noiramlaz ! It’s always nice to hear which details folks are enjoying most :o)

2016-06-24 1:38:00 ¶ ●

## THE SITE????? IS DOWN?????????????

I just checked, and it looks like mspfanventures.com is indeed down in its entirety right now. This is not something that Team 8 has any control over, but hopefully it’s just a minor hiccup that will be resolved soon. We will be monitoring to see if the situation continues.

2016-06-24 2:59:41 ¶ ●

## What's going on im scared???

It’s OK, mspfanventures has returned. We are saved.

2016-06-24 23:48:51 ¶ ●

Today is Fanart Friday, so if you have any age-appropriate Act 8 fanworks that you’d like reblogged, remember to @ us at this account and/or use the “#act 8″ tag :o)

2016-06-25 8:04:54 ¶ ●

Just a heads up that we will most likely not be having an update this Saturday. There may be one between now and Wednesday to make up for it, though! Thank you for your patience.

2016-06-25 8:08:43 ¶ ●

## can you give us a hint as far as 7/1/16 goes?? please?

Let’s just say…

It will be something new.

2016-06-25 8:19:01 ¶ ●

## You guys put a lot of effort into this! How long does it take to make a page?

Hi! I’d estimate at least an hour for each artist’s part of the process, so no less than three for each panel. Of course, that’s delayed by the writing and storyboarding, which takes “as long as until it’s good enough.” Collectively, hundreds of hours have gone into act 8 already.

## Status Upd8 Saturday: 6/25

(Shh, let’s pretend it’s still Saturday, and that Bluebird didn’t totally forget to make this post on time.)

What a week, huh? Yup. That certainly was some kind of week. A week in which things were done! Things that include but are not limited to:

- Work continued on the mysterious new content that will be landing on 7/1/16.
- Ditto for the other Mystery Content scheduled to land in August. Quite a few people are working on this now!
- Further editing of Act 8 Act 2 Part 3 (it keeps hapening)
- A lot of panel art.
- Some other things probably.
- It sure was A Week.

There is a cat laying on my arms, so I will stop here.

2016-06-29 6:18:25 ¶ ●

## I absolutely LOVE the drawing of Alt Calliope on page 66, it's perfect and I don't really know how to describe why that is, it's just really really good

What a lovely comment! I hope that the artists who worked on that panel all get to read this, I’m sure it will make them smile :o)

2016-06-30 8:10:11 ¶ ●

## Hello! Loving the work you all have done. I have a question though. Did you make that Muse outfit yourself or did you get it from somewhere?

If you mean the alt callie sprite, that was made by our incredibly amazing pretty-much-has-a-hand-in-every-update @calicorn

The muse god tier itself was designed by, presumably, some guy called Andrew Hussie? Never heard of him.

## I find the faces of Roxy and Calliope (alive one) to be funny on page 77 lol

They are my favorite thing that has ever happened.

(here is the original sketch)

2016-06-30 8:31:57 ¶ ●

## That's not who LE is waiting for, right? Gamzee doesn't need this ungrateful shit

That is definitely absolutely not at all what is going to happen.

And you can be 100% sure that I am telling the complete truth!

(or… CAN you?)

2016-06-30 8:47:08 ¶ ●

## Tell me if i'm hot or cold here, is LE is waiting on Bart Simpson?

I can’t tell you that! Now to post an entirely unrelated picture.

2016-06-30 18:47:29 ¶ ●

## I hope we see more death. Death and sadness. Leave no child left. Except Roxy. Roxy is great. Give her like a scratch on the knee.

2016-06-30 18:51:18 ¶ ●

## the art is so... soft?? i dont know why thats just... the best way i can describe it rn... its nice. also this porrim is gorgeous

Thank you so much, Anon! Our art team is industriously scribbling away to bring you more of the marshmallow soft content you want and deserve.

2016-06-30 18:53:00 ¶ ●

## I think LE is waiting for Davepeta

I can neither confirm nor deny, but it’s a lot of fun seeing people guess about this :o)

2016-06-30 18:54:23 ¶ ●

## My guts are telling me that LE is waiting for vriska..... Not sure why really

That is a thing that may or may not be true!

(We <3 fan theories around here, by the way.)

## How did you embed a flash into mspfa?

We recently answered this very question on the forums, which you can read here.

The True Ending

## I made a theory post, did you see it?

We did! In fact, team members have been passing the link around to each other on Skype, because we’re so excited to have a new theory post :o)

(Curious folks can find it in the #act 8 tag!)
