So what are the odds we are getting a DOUBLE FLASH coming up soon?

I think we might get one, but it probably won't be quite what we're expecting. It seems like everyone is ambivalent about the whole "lets kill each other" deal. To be expected considering what they just went through. Frankly I'm still not entirely convinced everyone is going to go god tier, but that might be because I like the idea of having all the beta kids as god tiers and all the alpha kids as regular for the sake of parallels (the more experienced players versus the less experienced ones)

The banner in question is printed incorrectly so that "WAY" is on the left and "SUB" is on the right.

I do not regret my Dave Strider signature one bit. Mine spans two pages and has an additional "sup" on the bottom page. It's stupidly ridiculous, just like the book. It's perfect.

That'll probably be the culmination of Meenah's character arc - rejecting her twin's nasty-rear end genocidal tyrant ways.

In Earthbound, the purported main antagonist was Giygas, a rampaging, mindless force of destruction that loomed over the events of the whole game and tended to make things significantly more tense whenever it was even mentioned. But the game's real antagonist was Pokey, a mentally stunted little shithead who enabled Giygas at every turn for petty, childish reasons, and eventually resorted to time travel to cause trouble on a level he'd never been capable of before.

It's so nice to see that Homestuck hasn't forgotten its roots.

When they showed Caliborn looking at Jack in jail with the tooth and the chained up leg, the similarities to Lord English were pretty obvious. I didn't think it would actually loving go there, though :stare:

I'm pretty sure this was the result of retroactively populating the originally blank "3rd" story some time after the Midnight Crew intermission.

Hussie actually said he was going to do a midnight crew story after problem sleuth but it went nowhere. And no one really made anything of it until after the midnight crew intermission.
I could be remembering wrong, though.

Dave & Rose's beds survived a Green Sun-creating supernova destruction of two universes.

Either the beds are indestructible, or it doesn't matter as long as it's there when you die.

Plus, Caliborn wants to fight Jake, and Jack is more than likely under Caliborn's control. A puppet, if you will.

Another thing that's struck me is how the the layout on the pages where the panels are 2x2 like this - http://www.mspaintadventures.com/ACT6ACT5ACT1x2COMBO.php?s=6&p=007718- is very similar to the fourth wall. I can totally see the ship busting through the screen in an update before we go back to the old format.

Oh my god i was not ready for poo poo to get real so fast. Holy poo poo. Holy gently caress.

Though I do wonder if this means that Noir is Lord English, and Caliborn controls him, or if it just means that Caliborn is using him as a sort of middleman and becomes LE, himself, later? I mean, unless Noir randomly hulks out and turns into a green skeleton...

Also, Roxy. :smith:
