DD is so cool. I am so cool with this plot twist. I have a feeling that B2 Jack's jailbreak hijinks will never see any real form of resolution. Awesome meta-joke? also, poo poo. the whole thing was a reminder of how glacially act 6 is going to be moving underneath the weight of like a dozen different subplots. 1. Jake and ghosts 2. Jane, Lil Seb and Gamzee in the medium 3. Roxy future hijinks 4. Dirk future hijinks 5. DD and the assassination plot on prospit/derse 6. Dave, Rose and trolls 7. John, Jade and Davesprite 8. Vriska and Tavros in the afterlife 9. Ms Paint and Spades Slick And that's assuming that we're never really going to be seeing Aradia and Sollux again, or be joining Lord English or the Troll Queen from a POV perspective. snucks fucked around with this message at 03:22 on May 17, 2012 |

So we're in agreement that the next panel is going to be him looking exactly the same, right? (Because all the powers he gets from the ring are going to be non-prototyping ones, and thus, non-visual-altering, at least for now)

That was excellent. The Vriska part had me laughing so hard.Bobulus posted:So we're in agreement that the next panel is going to be him looking exactly the same, right? Probably. Joke option: It makes him Condesce-Prototyped, causing universal irony in him now becoming a gray lady.

Ok, what the hell am I missing here, I click on the update, it goes for about 20 seconds then it stops on the Condesce scratching a record. Is it supposed to forward to another page, is there something to click on the record page, I have no idea what's going on here...

Just go to the next page, there's more to the update. Also, this is already one of my favorite flashes... I just have no freaking idea how I'm gonna translate this one even halfway appropriately into print. Thankfully, I guess, I have a long time before I have to worry about the Act 6 book.

Oh poo poo, I missed the arrow under the "[S] DD: Ascend." flash and wondered what everyone was going on about. I thought they were just joking because DD cut out the record before Black could get started.

How is it possible that the most action packed, story packed, just most tightly packed together flash with the most story advancement in the entire series... Have such a loving smooth and classy song? gently caress, I think this advanced more story threads than Cascade did.

I would've been ok with another [S] Ascend flash with Black playing, but this was actually better. This comic really needs more Diamonds Droog to jazz up the place. (I know, that wasn't jazz playing)

SatansBestBuddy posted:How is it possible that the most action packed, story packed, just most tightly packed together flash with the most story advancement in the entire series... Key word here of course being 'advanced' rather than 'ended.' After Cascade we had gone from dozens of little plot threads to, like, three or four. Don't get me wrong though, this was still probably one of the better flashes.

Slick is alive, apparently! The genetic code shot was made from the jumbled letters of "WHO'S THIS DOUCHEBAG":  The douchebag in question is, of course, Eddie Morton.

I think it's completely obvious at this point that Eddie Morton is the original form of Lord English, before he transcended to the innumerable, invulnerable forms that he currently has in many different universes.

Sockser posted:Nipples in my homestuck? I feel kinda silly, but I was a bit struck by that too. Of course, we are already in hard-R territory for the number of f-bombs dropped. This isn't The King's Speech or Bully, with a limited number of tactically deployed cusses for maximum effect; we're in the middle of a veritable cascade of fuckwords, antiquated MPAA ratings be damned. Parents: talk to your kids about Homestuck, before someone on the internet does. (Incidentally I hope the beard and the inclusion of vintage erotica are not early indicators that we're entering Hussie's Lost Girls-era Alan Moore phase.  )

This was one of my favorite [S] pages just because of the music. We should have more classy flashes. But now I hope we can switch to Dirk or Roxy's PoVs because I need to know what happens next.

I was always miffed at DD being pointlessly killed offscreen after so much build up as a horrifyingly competent hitman, but I'm fine with his and Jack's roles being switched now. Don't be surprised if we never go back to Jailbreak Jack.

It's actually a little challenging to work out what's actually going on. There's a little new content in there, mixed in with the references and jokes. Gamzee and John kissing was funny, but obviously just funny. Aranea and Jake going down to the pink moon was sort of expected, but it's still advancement. Are we supposed to take anything from Jade and Davesprite reading the Midnight Crew MSPA? Are they going to recognize anyone? I need to rewatch this flash once or twice more.
