Couldn't the Condesce have gotten Tavros and Vriska's powers because they were prototyped recently? I mean, if she has access to the carapacians, couldn't she have access to one of the queens' rings?

If his non dream self is actually dead on arrival, the more likely course of events is that Jane will revive him by doing the lifey thing.

I like the idea that in B2 earth, all of the world's major technological advances and stuff were invented by one of two people - your choice was either garish multicoloured flashing technology covered in green skulls, or bright red technology made by a baking company covered in spoons and guy fieri.

I had a feeling that Jake would end up being dead but then Jane's wish she made on the balloon reaches Skaia and revives him or some corny poo poo like that.

In fiction, an antihero is generally considered to be a protagonist whose character is contrary to that of the archetypal hero, yet typically retains many heroic qualities. Some consider the word's meaning to be sufficiently broad as to additionally encompass an antagonist who, in contrast to the archetypal villain, elicits considerable sympathy or admiration.

THE SBAHJ EXPERIENCE sounds like the most amazing amusement park ever known to mankind.

I love how the movies were all distinguished by misspellings. What a wonderful update. I didn't see UU and uu being the main character of Rose's book coming though.

The SBAHJ ~experience~ sounds incredible. I wish something even half as funny as that existed in real life (especially getting money deposited into my account for buying something that doesn't exist, then getting the wrong title anyway).

One of my shirts glowns and the other does not. The sbahj shopping experience is real.

Wait...something interesting with those colors.

That's the red of Karkat and the lime-green that Karkat would have been, if he wasn't a mutant.

Clearly they're UU's and uu's blood colors, but what does it mean?

Now someone needs to edit footage of Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson to make a sbahj trailer. Come on, we got some talented people here. I believe in you, guys.

Commissions… open

I’m kind of desperately in need of money right now. The money I had for living expenses has all but dried up, and I haven’t had a lot of time to look for a full time job.

So, I’m gonna open up for commissions, but I’m gonna try to not overdo it. Let’s say.. five major ones for now, because it’s the end of the semester and it may be a couple weeks before I can get to them.

As for prices, that seriously really depends. I’d like to work within what’s comfortable for someone’s budget, but of course I have bills to pay.

However, after having some time doing commissions, I can comfortably say that a full length song (with production and stuff) is generally $100+. Pricey? Yeah. But remember, I do this for part of my living expenses.

Of course I’d be willing to do shorter things/cheaper things. For example, would any of you purchase ringtones of my work if I made them available? Hm, hey, that gives me another idea. I could even make people completely unique ringtones (like 30 seconds in length max) for like $20 a pop.

To expand on an answer from a previous question that someone had asked, compositions take me anywhere from 5 to 10 hours, depending on complexity and desired length. Production takes 10 to 20 hours, especially if it’s electronic music that’s desired, because synth design and such can get a quite complex compared to simply picking out a set of instruments.

Regardless, if you’re interested, drop me an ask or send me an email. Or, if you don’t particularly want to commission me but still want to support me (which I’d really appreciate, because rent is due in a week): feel free to donate some money. Thank you.

Of course, Starhaven’s soundtrack will be released soon, so that should help, too.

And again, thank you for your support.

I know we'll be talking about the update, but since we're sort of grinding through this memory of Jake's right now I've been meaning to ask.

The four original kids are often roughly considered the main characters, even if Hussie's geometric approach to casting makes that hard to say of anyone in particular (Karkat is the main character of the trolls, which are themselves supporting characters for the main four, even if Hivebent and other shenanigans give them comparable screen-time). I recall Hussie saying at some point that Homestuck would remain the story of four friends playing a world-altering game.

I guess my question is if any of the main four were killed off, whether you'd expect we'd keep following them. Say John dies heroically some time soon, all highly unexpected, would him in the dream bubbles simply be another location? His actions as a ghost just another transformation of the character? The dream bubbles are a sort of resting home for washed up but not yet discarded characters (B1 Hegemonic Brute is dead dead, for example, but Eridan is better thought of as 'retired'), so if someone 'important' shows up there it doesn't really have to be a limit on their screen-time and ability to interact with the plot.

I ask because we've just seen some stuff with Tavros and Vriska planning to make trouble even if they are dead, which just underlines again how the dream bubbles aren't really the same as being killed off. Until we see those souls getting destroyed somehow, the main characters don't really feel at risk of actually dying, and while I feel worried for secondary characters to whom a trip to the dream bubbles means a move away from the spotlight I find the original four kids are effectively immune from being meaningfully killed off right now.

There must be some kind of dream bubble death that erases you from existence. Maybe getting shot by LE in a dream bubble, or if the horrorterror that's glubbing the bubble you're in dies or something, something like that that means you're gone permanently. Maybe the horrorterrors are using the ghosts in the dream bubbles to further their purposes and whenever they reach whatever goal they're after, the bubbles pop and the ghosts are dead.

With the particular way Lord English has been building up his personal dread and final boss credentials (destroying and taking over the meta-level architecture of the comic and killing the authour is a clever move in a story as meta as Homestuck) I wouldn't be surprised if you're right and he's the one to introduce the idea of 'final death'. We used to fear Bec Noir and his endless supply of stabs, but that threat's sort of been neutered now. Lord English erasing someone from the comic, however (Eridan because he wouldn't be missed but would get us worrying about characters we like? One of the more likeable trolls to make us hate Lord English more? Just go straight for the throat and permanently erase John?), that'd be something.

Oh man, imagine if Hussie went extreme meta and had Lord English erase characters from the entirety of Homestuck - their text gets blacked out, their panels are censored, even their parts in flashes are blocked. Lord English starts dismantling the comic itself.
