There's nothing special about me.
And now there actually IS an update!
But the site's crashed. Boooooooo.
Edit: AND NOW IT'S NOT BROKE.
Okay, so the planet seems to be HOPESPLODE-ing.
Also shirts! And promises of BIG THINGS coming to the WP store!
The only one of those I really would like is the Jade one.

So it looks like Jade and Jane have a lot more autonomy than we first thought. Aranea out-controlling Condy seems plausible now.

It's interesting to get (further) confirmation that EvilJade isn't just HiC personally at the wheel all the time. It's more like... evil autopilot.

Well, that's the bonus of communion with critters. Jane seems set up to be Skull Monster's servant the moment Condy finds a window to escape.

You've posted in this thread for almost a year, come on now.

Koos Group is a guy who gets banned every time he posts outside of FYAD but he can't resist joining us here in the Homestuck thread every so often and also stalking SuperMechaGodzilla I guess?

Here this'll tell you everything you need to know about his history: http://forums.somethingawful.com/dictionary.php?act=3&topicid=2428

I just got caught up on the past week of updates. Man, Aranea is just so boring I can't really even care about what she's trying to do. I really hate this "twist" or whatever too. At least this last thing looks sorta interesting.

Yeah, all three panels show Angels escaping from the pillar of light. Didn't Eridan say something about a prophesy dealing with The Lord of all Angels?

I wouldn't know, I only got to see the first of the new panels before the ole 503 kicked in. :(

Edit: Ah, managed to get to see the remaining panels. Yep, definitely angels going on. No idea if this is Aranea's healing or if Jake's doing the Hopey Thing here. Either way, something big's definitely goin' on here. Might be time for Jade and Jane to Pose Like a Team.

I would say that's getting a bit too meta, even by MSPA standards. So it's probably deliberate.

So...does Jade still have the copy of Ahab's Crosshairs Eridan made her alchemize? Because if these Angels are hostile, they're going to need that level of firepower.

A Prince of Hope is one who destroys hope, and Jake looks like he's pretty much made of the stuff now. Watch Jake become Lord English, then Eridan will come back to life to kill him and promptly go off and sulk when it still doesn't get him laid.

It takes like, a full minute of autofire from that to take down an Angel. Jade's gonna need to alchemize a bigger gun. Or just use her Grimbark Dog Tier powers. That'd probably do it.

On a fairly meta level, this whole Aranea section is putting me in the mind that Homestuck is finally gearing up for its conclusion.

Like, still some way off yet. But a character is doing something proactively, so is probably sparking the chain of events that'll end the story.

Yo, Jade, Jane. I know you're cosmic badasses right now, but that hopesplosion may actually be kind of dangerous for you! After all, bad things tend to happen to villains when pulpy action guys, angels, and ominous special effects come together. You might want to consider being elsewhere.

Also, Aranea might have re-deaded herself much faster than anybody anticipated.

Personally I don't think Jake is in the wrong for freaking out. I'm just pissy because this whole Aranea is Turning Evil subplot is teetering between "not hugely interesting" and "actually pretty stupid and unnecessary" in my mind.

It's like, hey mang - remember that thing where a Serket fucks up large? The thing that has currently happened twice already? Well get ready for the shameless cash-in threequel.

I dunno -- one of Vriska's most important fuckups was creating (one of the) major A2/B1 villains. The Ouroboros theme almost requires that Aranea do the same in A1/B2.

In fact, it's so essential that I'm about 99% certain it was included on the one page crib note sheet that Hussey claims was the extent of his preplanning for the whole saga.

Normally I'd be concerned about all this but Jake is such an awful character that anything is an improvement at this point. He could literally transform into Eridan and still be less annoying.
