So what do you think, will they actually manage to finish it before Homestuck ends? Maybe before the game comes out?

Before the heat death of the universe?

Hopefully before the Internet implodes when the Gigapause ends.

We thought it was a gigapause.. but it was only the calm, before the GIGAPULSE.

From what I understand, progress was effectively a flat line until a professional animator barged in and took the reins by force. Now things are moving.

Oh thank god for that. I thought it was going to end up being Dunning-Kruger: The Animation.

Papers Everywhere does homestuck fanart, but what she's really infamous for is making stuff like This. Click the music play button and start scrolling, I guess. This one is really, really good. I don't even know what this particular kind of fanart is called, does anybody know?

Couple other things she's done:

It's October 25, everyone, and we don't have a thread yet. Zoolooman has been sort of quiet in all this. I can work on an OP, but I don't want to step on any toes.

I figure so long as it's a good OP that clearly states the intent of the March To The End as I like to call it, it doesn't really matter who makes the thread. Just who makes it first. Just keep in mind all of the information to keep, all that fun stuff.

Two counterparts, united in a common purpose, but that's a lie twice over. They're not united, as one inspector turned on the other by making GBS threads in his pipe; and the purpose is moot, because it was never a mystery to begin with.

"lovely twist" is a very significant phrase.

glowing-fish: Feb 18, 2013; Keep grinding,
I hope you level up!

I don't know how seriously to take Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff (which is of course, the joke), but we don't have a whole lot more to chew on right now, so I am going to look at it as serious foreshadowing.

This is a "lovely twist", something that is the patented method of Caliborn. And defecating as a means of revenge is something that the stunted Caliborn would do. And in the beginning we see Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff looking identical except for their color schemes, again like Caliborn and Calliope.

So if our twist is that the whole thing was seen all along...maybe this is a sign that Calliope knew what Caliborn was going to do, and probably prepared for it?

MY FAN FICTIONS posted:
GREATEST RAP BATTLES OF HISTORY: Strider vs. Smuckles

"whos this half-shaved bunny who got sort of stoned
youre from history, whiskers, and your getting dethroned
see pbs called me the internet�s Ulysses
i drop page views and flames too on lame dudes who dis me
you call it achewood, make cookbooks like you bake good
but your wood aches cause you got no rear end or cash, just fake food
get out the pet door before I stomp on your tail
even if I�m home stuck � you�re the great outdoor fail"

"Who�s this anime Steve McQueen in bright red pajamas?
I�d beat you harder, boy, but I was distracted by your momma�s
choice rear end, so maybe you can hook up a fella?
Invite her for some crispy Stellas, see if anything develops?
See my fans like sophistication, that ages like wine:
best strip of the decade, greatest rhymes of all Time!
Your fans run to mommy with grey body paint,
givin� them diaper rash - because it�s up in their taint!"

"uHHH, i'M tAVROS nITRAM, aND i�M HERE TO SAY,
wE PUBLISH, oN AVERAGE, fOUR PAGES A DAY,
yOU HAVE ONE HOT STRIP, eVERY TEN MONTHS, aVERAGE
iN TERMS OF CONSISTENCY, yOUR PRODUCTIVITY, iS DISASTROUS"

"i stop time, and drop rhymes across the star field
if i wanted to know what a cat eats id read garfield
i make two and a half mil in one month on kickstarter
id slip some singles to onstad, but he needs to strip harder"

"It�s not hard to get money from webcomic fans,
Even if your face looks like it�s written in Comic Sans!
Sorry if you can�t appreciate a modern masterpiece,
From the depths of the Volvo of Despair it�s Roast Beef:"

"So I got depression and I have visited hell
But dang your comic is basically both combined in html
This is a source of comfort to me when I�m all weepin� on the floor
Even though I hate myself but I still hate you more"

EDIT: I wrote that a while back on a lark, but it's not something I could use on my blog or whatever, because the venn diagram between my audience, Achewood readers and Homestuck fans is infinitesimal. So thank you for giving me an excuse to share it.
...I'll show myself out now.

And speaking of Achewood/Homestuck crossovers, here is an incredibly lovely thing I drew not long after this was originally posted:

Volume three turned up in the mail today.

Hussie's author notes posted:

Bro operates Cal while moving so fast, you can't see him. It's suggested that this is a pretty common battle routine for the Strider brothers, an extreme training regimen to prepare Dave for battle. It's almost as if Bro is training him to face last boss. Or it would be if last boss had the slightest thing to do with this creepy puppet, which of course is preposterous.

I do like the author notes. The ones on the pages focusing on Jack, especially.

EDIT: Hold the phone, retcon arm ahoy! So he's doing the new versions of all the panels now, I guess?

For all the weirdness in this comic, the one thing that actually throws me is how Hussie calls it "last boss" and not, like, "the final boss", which is what I and my friends would have called it.

Here's some of the Hussie commentary I liked:

Andrew Hussie posted:

It never comes close to being explicated in the story, but it is strongly implied [the Skaianet Labs near Rose�s house] is where Rose�s mom grew up. Though after the introduction of Roxy, and another reread, this probably becomes more obvious. Who raised her? Was it the owner of Skaianet, a younger grandpa Harley? Did he outsource parenting duties to someone else in the lab? Maybe some exiles? If so, she had an upbringing fairly similar to that of Roxy in the future. These mysteries have LEGS.

Andrew Hussie posted:

[Talking about Gushers flavors] MIXED BERRY SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDER was discontinued as a flavor. But only because the Condesce ran out of that kind of troll blood.

Andrew Hussie posted:

Did you know that when you irradiate meat, it turns bright green? Dr. Seuss knew that, and made one of his stories entirely revolve around the principle. The character Sam was a zealous advocate of the poisonous food products, and though his victim resisted valiantly, he eventually caved. The result was a tragedy.
