So those green curtains are the same as the ones from the Seer: Descend flash - remember when Rose walked through all the act curtains? So I guess we have... were there six such curtains? I think there were. So six mini-parts to Act 6.

If anyone's curious, this makes Act 6.1 total 172 pages, released over a course of 27 days. For comparison, page 172 of Homestuck, 34 days in, and page 172 of Hivebent, 22 days in.

We know Jane's dreamself is awake and probably fine, so I'm guessing Jane is DEAD-dead. The robot is there to take care of the Alpha.

I'm not quite convinced on the whole Jane just died thing, that would conflict with pretty much everything UU was talking about. We'll see how this turns out in act6 act 2 then, unless we all fell for the notorious Hussie psyche-out.

There's a few ways this could play out. She might become a ghost like the other maid, and her dreamself will be taken to a crypt. Maybe she'll get a robot self as well if this is the case. She also could awaken on Propit and start the whole slow dreamself death thing, which seems more likely. Even more likely than that though, is that Andrew will take this in another direction altogether that we didn't see coming.

If over 172 pages nothing happened for the first 130, that would still be poo poo pace. They're still wrong, though. The pacing of this act has been properly fast and fairly consistent.

Well I didn't see that coming! I thought Jake was going to be the one who'd end up being a robot in their session since he died on Prospit... but I guess it'll be Jane? At least that's what I hope. Maybe they'll all just think she died till they get in the game and she just uses her dreamself for their whole session. Though I do wonder if this means every new kid will only have 1 life, since that's what Jane and Jake have right now assuming no robot/ghost shenanigans occur.

Android Blues posted:Well, come on, heroes of EVERYTHING die early by those standards. The only characters who've never died in this comic are Gamzee, Karkat, Terezi, Jade and the other three reset kids. That's if you don't assume dreamself deaths count, a stipulation which, levied, says that everyone but kidMom and kidBro has died at least once! Jade hella died. It was right before the End of Act 5. You counted John, so you have to count Jade.

I wonder if the kids will god tier in the opposite method their b1 equivalent reached god tier in this universe. That is, the Derse kids god tier using method 1 (that is, the way John and Jade (kinda) did) and the Prospit kids use method 2 like Dave and Rose. Jake has only one life left and Jane probably does as well, so they're probably restricted to method 2. The Derse kids may also lose their first lives but having the b2 kids god tier in opposite ways sounds like the sort of parallel Andrew would employ. Edit: Android Blues posted:Oh yeah, I forgot that! Okay just Gamzee Karkat and Terezi then. And the three other reset kids. Karkat, Gamzee, and Terezi had their dreamselves murdered if you're counting that.

I think the big concern was people extrapolating about the length of the act intro based on the current pacing, which, uh, just got kind of shot down in a big way.

Cleretic posted:It's good to see Hussie tackle the real problems the world faces this time around. Spontaneous combustion is a very real issue that real people face, and it's good to see it acknowledged. Again, I disagree. Spontaneous combustion is definitely not a joke, and I have no intention of making light of it. And it can be a tough and emotional thing for young heiresses to go through, speaking from personal experience. And I know that it's often much harder on the heiress then on the man. However, I also know that it doesn't necessarily turn you into a sad, depressed sack of tears for the rest of your life. People can move past it, and heal.

Considering how much muttering and trepidation Hussie's first authourial appearance garnered, it's amazing how amusing they've gotten. They're their own little side story, complete with their own characters. No epilogue will be complete without a happily-ever-after for Ms. Paint.

Good grief, Hussbot.MrBims posted:edit: Nevermind, you're right, I remember now there were two sets of curtains, and you just got confirmed by the update. Also, the first five sets of green curtains were already open when Rose got there. Even at the time that was a pretty strong hint - but now that we know more about the exact setup it seems more than ever like we'll watch five fast-forwarded acts' worth of guardian-kids before the rest of the cast starts rejoining them.

Of course, now that we're all speculating on it, it's entirely possible that Hussbot is just going to say "gently caress it" and skip straight to the last curtain.
