Who caaares. Jane is/is not dead and we know for a fact it isn't permanent because she's the faux-protagonist c'mon guys.

Meanwhile, I hope this "talk to them" bit will somehow involve Jade Green-Sunning it up such that John just sticks his head through her torso and so that his disembodied head just starts shouting poo poo about movies at everyone in Green Sun Land.

I'm reminded of this question Hussie answered:

Andrew Hussie posted:

I know lots of other fans are wondering about this, they’re turning 3 years older now right? So does that mean there’s gunna be more romance stuff in there for the shippers?

If so, it wouldn’t be for the shippers. The shippers are already up to their necks in romantic nonsense. It would be for the non-shippers, who try to avoid that stuff as best they can. If I did as you say, there would be no escaping it anymore.

Now consider... does Hussie strike you as the type of author who would just let people avoid things they're uncomfortable with?

I'm sure this is just the start of some really overt and unavoidable romance nonsense.

Not to mention that she already has an awakened dreamself... Am I the only one who thinks this means that even if the explosion killed her she'll just wake up on Prospit?

Well every instance we've seen of this so far has had the dreamself start to die as well, unless the dead body is kissed by another player (or they died on their quest bed).

All cans are welcome and equal in your city, regardless of can content, and whether empty or full.
She would, but dreamselves take on the wounds of the realselves. With no other player around to corpsesmooch her, her dreamself would quickly die as well.

Well, it is part of adolescence, and the new session kids already hinted at that sort of stuff. Homestuck is supposed to be a coming-of-age story according to Hussie, and romance is part of that. Also, he's not pandering to shippers, so I expect it to be just a bunch of painfully awkward hinting and frustration, just like high school.

Just look away from the shippers and things should be fine.

Okay for some reason I was convinced we had never seen a player die as their original self while their dreamself was awake, but thinking about it for ONE SECOND has allowed me to realize that it happened to both Dave and Rose so yeah maybe Jane could die for real.

Crazy theory how she will survive: Bro is not the Prince of Heart, the Autoresponder is, and he will download himself into Li'l Seb and corpsesmooch Jane.

You have basically been in love with John Egbert since junior high and are continually stymied by his UTTER STUPIDITY and BULLSHIT “HETEROSEXUALITY.” You care about him so much that the sensation is akin to a severe intestinal infection. He is the most beautiful and irritating carbon-based lifeform to inhabit any universe.

So...it's pretty much what you'd expect from a fanfic with a name like Promstuck.

Both, but not nearly the worst out there, I suppose. I skimmed the thing and landed on this which made me laugh:

quote:

Kanaya: Ok I Guess The Floor Is Now Open For Complaints Criticisms Remonstrances And General Beefs

Rose: Charming. You automatically assume I want to grouse?

Kanaya: Of Course You Do. Bitches Love Wails.
The writer at least seems to know how Homestuck humour works, but it still appears to mostly just be the usual shipper nonsense.

Eh.

He's totally gonna do it.

He's too much of a troll not to do it.

Like, he'll resist, he'll hold back, but it won't last, cause he knows, he knows that it'll bother people, if he did it, and the temptation... the temptation to succumb, the urge to troll, it would be too great...

... and that's how we get relationship bullshit every update until Valentine's Day.

Yeah the joy of promstuck is that it is 100% self-aware and the shipper nonsense can be waved away by how actually cute it is?? I mean unless the shipping nonsense is enough to turn you off entirely in which case enjoy your life without a soul.

I really didn't want to like it but once I accepted the "versions" of the characters presented (which still bear a lot in common with their in-story counterparts) it is just really drat cute.

I never really got why people would want to just go harass the dude (or whatever it is that crazed fans want to do). The guy is almost a professional troll at this point, the likelihood that you are going to come out on top of any interaction with him is slim to none. So why bother?
