I saw someone draw Bronya as a maid of breath and I didn’t think it was an accurate clssspect for her. What do you think?
I’m still leaning more towards the Serve Classes.
I’m still leaning more towards the Serve Classes.
She prototyped herself post-entry.
I actually want to do a project to map the entirety of Homestuck’s Timeline, but I need to find out how to EVEN visually represent something like that.
Did she resuscitate (conditional immortality)?
She didn’t escape it! She died. And went God Tier due to that death.
He gave up. In Homestuck-verse terms, that’s pretty much the same as dying. Acceptance of your Doome Fate.
What Green Explosion did she face after going God Tier?
Could be, but I am wary of counting her as any of the Creation Classes, because I’ve seen her having traits of other Classes as well, and Troll Society seems conditioned towards forcing the Trolls into specific roles, so it could easily just be Jades are supposed to act like Sylphs and that muddles her true Class, rather than her being actually a Sylph.
Either the label that appears is physical, as it’s sillily implied in Prospit and Derse, or the Consorts just talk about it off-screen.
Yesss, I’m SO hyped for the like. Act 5 and onward books.
He separated himself from Dave after a point I’d say, however you could say Dave coming out as Bi could be Hussie reflecting on his own sexuality, or just understanding more modern LGBT issues and showing his support in a more personal way. Also I believe he mentioned Dirk being a little bit like him too? But not that much. Just the Strider vibe in general.
Hard to say if chronologically the Universe C exists while the Green Sun was still there.
The stuff leading up to Terezi: Remem8er was his last art contribution I believe, although he was still involved in the making of the other panels and flashes and such and I believe he animated part of Collide as well?
As far as I know though, all of the writing in Homestuck was by him.
It would actually be pretty cheap- And serve as the Knight’s time-travelling device. Why would you want time tables or music boxes when you can have GUN.
I’m sure he’ll do more stuff! And he seems to like the Webcomic format, but it’s also possible he may do something else? Write a book or make an actual comic or who knows, maybe next we know of him he’ll have written the script of some movie with Dante Basco as the protagonist.
Highly unlikely.
Why do you think they have names with so many K’s, V’s and W’s? They’re trying to parse monster noises into writing.
“Seahorse Oinking” is something I didn’t think I’d see today, or ever for that matter.
Is… Mute as a Fish something people say? Remember, not natively English here.
Sounds Hearty.
First Dave we see is actually the Dave that ends up becoming Davesprite so he ended up being part of Davepeta. Doomed Selves, Ghosts, Retconned versions, it all plays into Homestuck’s theme of “trying over and over again in a game, but your extra lives actually mattered and it’s all fucked up.”
Well first of all she doesn’t ruthlessly attack animals, she does hunt for food and drawing materials so her hunting has a purrpose! (;33)
That aside, shrug? She’s just the cute cat girl so people made assumptions. Hell she’s tackled Equius down efortlessly and Hussie’s art style makes her just as tall as everyone else, buuut. Alongside the brutal huntressness, there IS adorableness as well. The two coexist within Nep. People just cherry pick depending on their likes.
Yeah? Canonical divergences occur at different points, splits from versions that make up the ultimate self that is ‘Dave’. Retcon Dave and GO! Dave. Dave and Davesprite. Same concept.
Yeah, as long as whoever you realized you were after your crisis was Breath-y.
Not necessarily? That’s just the Sclera. The part of the eye you see through is the pupil. However I am assuming the inside of the eye is the same color as their blood, which may give a slight color-tint in certain situations.
Nah I’m a dumbass who’s just been playing games in English long enough to get a grasp on the language. :V I’m Spanish though! From Spain.
Shrug! I mean it makes sense given, fish, underwater, but yeah.
Lmao don’t worry at all! I like lore recaps! Okay, so!
Cascade is a masterful show of event simultaneity with like, so many different things going on at the same time as the countdown of the Tumor slowly crawls towards 0.
We begin with John initiating the Scratch, 10 minutes and 25 seconds before the Tumor blows up. Powerful Underlings come to try and stop him but at that point he’s kind of severely overpowered and doesn’t even break a sweat to summon Lava Tornadoes. This is also, specifically, after John took Rose’s Needlekind specibus from her corpse, and Jade sent him an enlarged pair of Echidna’s Quills to scratch the disc.
Then we cut to Bec Noir mourning the death of Jade- Death he himself orchestrated, but since he’s part Bec he’s grieving. He just murdered CD for blowing her up, and we see a shot of his hand- Teasing us as it transitions to the 00:00 moment, showing us how Jack has his hand covered in blood in the future and we still don’t KNOW why. He summons the Red Miles with the Queen’s Ring and tears through the Universe. In future Earth, the Exiles see this happening and prepare to blow up the Stations so that they may not be used to interfere with SBURB now that their work is done. WQ waits patiently for WK to pop out of the Time Capsule, and a new one resets to open exactly in 10 seconds, a wilted flower.
Bec Noir, saddened by Jade’s death, and with Bec’s instincts, tucks her into her Bed- Her Quest Bed, that is. And immediately after leaving her there, he goes to the meteor with the Frog Temple, goes right into the Time Capsule, and pops up 10 seconds after WK popped out of it, murdering both him and WQ before they could get a proper reunion. He sets off to slaughter PM as well, but AR starts blowing up the capsules and grabs his attention. He cannot destroy the Cork capsule, since WV is inside, and that moment of hesitation to blow it up leads to Jack decapitating him. Inside the capsule, we see one of the many machines we’ve seen before, with a dial going from one side of a frog to the other spirograph- A representation that’d been in front of our faces about how it warps you to the Session that created the Universe. Since there’s no fuel, however, Jack tears the piece of Uranium WV ate back in Act 2 right out of his stomach, staining his hand in blood at long last, and using the machine to warp. The capsule opens and PM rushes inside.
Meanwhile, Dave and Rose are headed to the core of the Moon of Derse after dealing with DD, who tried to ambush them. Inside the crypt, they find their Sacrificial Slabs, and set the Tumor within. The black and white shell opens to reveal a red and blue machine- Equating the colors to duality as well. We zoom into the Red part of the machine and see the Kids’ Universe, being torn apart by the Red Miles. Then, we zoom into the Blue part to see the Trolls’ Universe, where Snowman and Slick are having a stand-off.
Snowman tells him to shoot her, and so he does. She doesn’t even defend herself, it’s her purpose. The bullet is a cue ball, that sinks the 8 ball, Snowman. “If you kill her, you destroy the Universe” comes true, and as the bullet passes through her heart, reality starts to come undone around them. We zoom back out of the Universe and out of Derse, and transition to Jade’s Land.
In a moment emulating John’s Ascension, we see Hummingbirds gathering around her corpse, and a zoom-in from WV’s place, where we briefly glimpse PM freaking out as WV slowly bleeds to death. Yet another zoom out, and we move into the Battlefield, with meteors raining heavily down upon it, and Davesprite and Jadesprite watching hopelessly as a huge one heads right in their direction. They’ve pretty much assumed their fate at this point.
Of course they don’t die, because Jade ascends just in time. Her Dreamself counts as alive since she’s mixed with her sprite, and as such, she Ascends, mixing not only her Witch of Space powers, but also Bec’s First Guardian powers. She effortlessly shrinks down the meteor about to blast them, lifts up a Prospitian ship, and immediately sets off to accomplish what she promised Echidna she would do- Bring everything with her. She shrinks down the Battlefield, warps to her Land, and brings John- Who at this point has finished Scratching the Beat Mesa- onto the ship.
Rose and Dave watch the countdown getting dangerously close to the 00:00 moment, PM drags WV out of the capsule, hopelessly staring up into the sky, as the Queen’s Ring falls out of WV’s pocket knife. She knows exactly what to do. Jade quickly shrinks down all 4 of the other Planets, and we reach the Climax of Cascade.
Swiftly switching from one scene to another, we see everything that’s going on and that has happened. Snowman, Dead, Slick shooting. Billious Slick dying and Jack using Red Miles. Rose and Dave staring at the Tumor, PM slowly putting on the ring, the Beat Mesa ascending towards Skaia- And then Jade pulls out the 4th Wall Karkat told her to captchalogue, slowly shrinking it.
As everything is erased from the Timeline, we see the comic flashing on the screen, and stopping on Gamzee- At the critical moment we saw already a little while ago. We see this time, however, that Doc Scratch has been talking to him! And he’s been following his orders. Now he only has one last message to highlight:
S u c k e r s .
Scratch doesn’t lie, but he tells lies of omission. The Tumor has enough force to blow up the Green Sun, and going through the Furthest Ring would lead them to its location, sure… What he didn’t tell Rose was that they’d arrive before the Green Sun was created. And while the Tumor has the force to destroy it? He never said it would. Roughly the mass of two Universes finally gains context, as the Red and Blue Universe’s deaths are used to detonate the bomb, and instead Create the Green Sun.
The explosion alerts both Jack and the Trolls, but while Sollux uses the last of his Psionics to thrust the Meteor in the Sun’s direction, Jack is distracted by something coming from the same platform he reached the Troll Session through.
Having been standing on their Sacrificial Slabs, Rose and Dave Ascend to God Tier right outside of the Green Sun, meeting up with Aradia, and Sollux’s half-dead ghosty self. PM has a stare-off with an astonished Jack, and she’s brought both WV’s bleeding out self and Serenity with her.
Finally we see what Jade’s doing with the 4th wall. She enlarges it in front of the ship, and shatters through it, away from the Session and into Meta Space where Hussie lives, outside of their reality and escaping the Scratch. 4 Kids, God Tiered, away from the Scratch. Jack Noir, meeting his match, caught by surprise. The Trolls, headed to the Green Sun, about to reunite with Dave and Rose.
And on that triumphant note? The curtains close, and the Act ends.
Derspit’s always been a fun combo name! I remember the pastel pink Moon version people made up back in the day, with grey carapaces.
If you like Spanish and Homestuck, you should check out the fan translation to Spanish! Last time I heard they were up to Meenahbound!
Wasn’t it Tensei? I think it was Tensei.
Ooooh. You learn something new every day.
I like coming up with creative ways to use powers like that.
Ooooh, nice! Coming far along I see. :o
Yeah, I know that feeling! But hey they’re pretty much 80% done with the comic so, soon maybe? … Wait… 80% Done?
God, the Trickster Arc was before the Act 6 Act 6 Act 1 sub-division right? Fuck, why is this comic so dense.
Oooh interesting when you think of the 7-person separation theory thing.
Oh I see what we’re doing, Aspect professions, nice.
The spotlight sure is Light-y.
During ARquius’ Creation, the flash with Horsechestra, after Shades: Descend.
They could be socially conditioned to stay away from them, or even lack/be oppressed by something regarding said Aspect. Finding your Aspect is finding Balance within it, too much or too little and it may be oppressive.
Yeah! Dirk does this most notably. He considers his true nature a bit too abrasive, and attempts acting like a Knight due to his admiration for Dave.
You’d have to prototype your Dreamself, not the other way around. Dreamselves can’t Ascend on normal Quest Beds, only on Sacrificial Slabs, which work with just one copy.
Yep.
I’m pretty sure I’ve answered the Prince of Mind before, but let me use this as a chance to speak about Classpects and some stuff people tend to forget! Verbs are just pointers in the direction of what powers you can get, but they’re not absolute- Princes are Destroyers, yeah, but that doesn’t mean it’s ALL you can do! There’s similar concepts- Reducing, debuffing, for example. You could cause confusion or make people be unable to focus and think about anything for example! Alternatively? People often forget Classes are also able to do stuff THROUGH their Aspect- Destroying through Mind may make you a great strategic mastermind, a really good tactical asset! Mind is Choice too, for example, so you could perhaps nullify people’s choices and decissions and rail the Timeline in a specific direction! There’s a lot of possibilities.
Oof yeah that can be rough. Usually it’s better to either start something if you already have an audience following you, or if you’re going to make a story of your own without necessarily any input.
I mean, yeah of course you could! It’s such an arbitrary detail after all likely you can bypass it somehow. But it still implies the lack of a Forge, and as such, a Forge-related quest to light it, which may put Hephaestus and Echidna’s being there at odds, which may lead to a whole other bunch of issues.
There’s not much to explain in MSPA Reader: Mental Breakdown though! Rather than there being any big events of importance, it’s mostly a recap of everywhere Cal has been to, chronologically, but there ARE some details.
For instance, we see that after Roxy banished the Lil Cal Doll into the Furthest Ring, Gamzee materialized it on Dave’s Dream Room by making him have nightmares about Cal with his Chucklevoodoos, just like how he used his powers on John to make the doll that’d eventually lead to Jack’s uprising. The acolytes of Lord English aid in his coming into the Universe.
After that, Hussie mostly toys with the idea of it being an astonishing revelation by making a bunch of ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED memes, but the few things of note the revelation does bring us are as follows:
1) Sollux’s red-black Gamzee Confusion staring at Lil Cal during the 5x Showdown could be parsed as him being able to sense Gamzee’s half within Lil Cal, rather than him being blind and looking the wrong way.
2) The ‘Vast Honk’ from Lord English is because Gamzee is part of him. It also plays into his almost berserk-like destructive tendencies- Caliborn is a murderous machine, but even as far as we see he has a smug arrogance. Lord English’ destruction seems to lean more towards the wantonly berserker, just like Gamzee when he goes completely fucking nuts. Not a confirmation of any sort though, since both Caliborn and Gamzee have proven to be murderous and crazy a lot of the time.
3) Being mostly ARquius but bound to LE’s service, Doc Scratch being Rose’s ‘Creepy Uncle’ is actually kind of right.
4) The MSPA Reader’s Classpect is the Stump of Gun.
It’s canonically the Land of Stumps and Dismay.
Mhmm!
Huh, curious, it does seem that they may have thought the flash was a loop and didn’t record further! I should contact Viz about it but I’m off of my computer and without my mail account handy to get in. Could anyone send a message like that? Page 5655 is a flash animation with more stuff and the Youtube video doesn’t capture it all. Just watch until the music ends.
AR: Smug robotic AI that thinks he’s the shit, always making complex plots, but infuriatingly mechanical at times.
Equius: Balancing factor in ARquiusprite that makes AR not swear anymore and adds a feeling of High Class to the body. Only feeds into AR’s narcissism.
Doc Scratch: Smug, narcissistic Omniscient shown to be of a High Class, who’s cagey and always making complex plots. The perfect intelligence, considers himself perfectly flawless, makes SBaHJ references. He’s just the logical extension to AR given some time and bound to LE rather than being free and Heroic.
