Has anyone noted that at the time Gamzee was typing to Scratch, i.e. at the point 'the most important character in Homestuck fondly regards the miracle of a new beginning.', Lil' Cal is on his lap? Edit - it must be said that that flash was really something else. Absolutley brilliant. Glad to see Xamag-chan's art got in, as well.

Oh God Wayward Vagabond. Goodnight, sweet mayor. Jade becoming a goddamn god-tier first guardian dreamself sprite was probably about the most amazing thing that could have happened. She's powerful enough to just kind of forget Bec Noir, now. Leave the old murderer dog to the newer, madder, mail-delivery dog.

Jegus WHAT AARGH I just want to say that this morning I was only able to read the panels leading up to the flash and watch about 30 seconds or so of the flash before I had to carpool. Just long enough to convince me that Jade was toast FOREVER (her dream self is dead so of course the bed won't work! Durrr). I had a pretty grumpy morning until just now, when I could watch the whole thing on my lunch break.

Evil Mastermind posted:Aw man, now I have a memorial avatar. They're at the green sun, which is an out-of-universe big green sun that powers the first guardians and, by extension, Bec Noir. The plan was to blow it up and depower Jack; then the remaining trolls at the lab would see the blip and somehow navigate to it, so then everyone could meet up there and find their way back to the newly reset human session. Aradia got there ahead of time by using Jack as a portal when he came rushing at her just after she awoke, and is meant to help guide everyone who is at the sun to where they need to go. Dave and Rose were moving the Tumor out to the sun, which they intended to destroy with it, but whoops! the Tumor created it instead, right on top of them. Then they found Aradia already there when they emerged. (And meanwhile, Sollux is killing himself psi-propelling the laboratory meteor with the rest of the surviving trolls - and all of the corpses - towards the green blip. Which probably works because he's half there and half at the sun already.)

Now that there's been an update to the webcomic it's a great time for everyone to get a refresher on the THE RULES. Remember if it's not an actual spoiler for as of yet unreleased material don't use spoiler code, you'll be probated! This goes doubly so for making dumb jokes! Low content posting is still a no go. So posts like Update!!!! Oh poo poo oh poo poo and other such posts that add nothing to a conversation will also result in probation!

I'm re-reading Act 5 and could you guys help me with something? How is Kanaya a vampire I've been decent at keeping up with the story so far but that plot point just sailed right over my head. Does Homestuck ever say "Kanaya is vampire because _______" or do we just have fan speculation like, the Knight of Blood kissed her so she is an alien dracula now?

Also it bears mentioning that Cal is on Gamzee's lap while Gamzee is watching the events unfolding in the "most important character in Homestuck" panel. One more fine lump of evidence in the now-mountainous pile that Cal is the most important character and also Lord English. Taking bets, taking bets.

I have to say, in terms of what they did with the format, one of my favorite parts has to be when the flash is shifting from Bec Noir and the carapaces to Derse when there's two animations running at once side by side. It's a neat transition.

I didn't really take the time to say it earlier since I was busy being overwhelmed and then trying to sort out what happened, but this is one of the best looking things on the internet I've ever seen. Just as an experience, after the years of build-up of reading Homestuck (and, I suppose, Problem Sleuth and the other Hussie-works before that, and even maybe all the games and content referenced in said works), this flash was something else. Beyond reckoning, a total surprise, completely blew expectations out of the water. I remember telling people not to get so hyped up, that there was no reason to think the flash was that much bigger than any other, that the time on hiatus hadn't all gone into its production. I remember thinking there was just no practical way that all the loose threads could be tied up. Now look at it. Just about everyone is at full power, converging on a single point. All lesser mysteries solved or sidelined, all small players and whole universes destroyed, the entire of reality shorn down just a few heroes and the main villain. Snowman's dead. Spades Slick is dead. The exiles (except for PM) are dead. The guardians are dead. The worlds and everything on them are pocket sized. Prospit and Derse are gone. All that's left is the green sun, Bec Noir, PM, Aradia, the kids, Sollux, Gamzee, Terezi, Kanaya, and Karkat. Time for the boss battle rumble.

Something I haven't seen speculated on yet in this thread: what was the giant monster that john kills in one hit right in the beginning of the flash? when I first saw it i thought it was hephaestus, but then it makes no sense for john to kill him because jade promised she'd take him with her to the post-scratch universe, and then she did just that. Was it just a giant enemy of a sort that hasn't been seen yet? Also I don't think the new hoodies mean we'll see a cat tier nepeta. If the four guardians become the new players of the post-scratch world, then they're gonna need mythological titles to fit their new roles. The ______ of heart could refer to nanna, or maybe even mom.
