A goon's posting the same thing

And the shitpost we read
Is a billion light-years old
A ghost just like the rest of us
I may end up playing this more than the actual update.

I just…

I kind of want that to be the alpha timeline. I mean yes, I’m very sad to see all those characters die, and I’d be really upset that that’s the way some of the best characters in the series are killed off, but at the same time, I’m so tired of this kind of poo poo. Hussie has been playing his audience for longer than I’ve been reading live (the most notable examples being ‘peachy’ and the entire concept of the dancestors, but after pages of homosuck, I’m tired of being pandered to as a fan.

That’s my major problem with this update, if this all happens in a doomed timeline, there’s literally no reason to show us (not to mention everyone/thing we’ve been emotionally investing in for the past loving YEAR and a couple months was a total sham) except for shock value. Unlike the events on the meteor, which heavily influenced plot, this entire update was just meant to shock the fandom and has no function other than laughing and saying ‘haha all your favorite characters are dead!’

After the gigapause, we deserve more than this. We deserve plot, not loving homosuck and a major doomed timeline.
How do people manage to go through all of Homestuck without getting used to Hussie's style?

Each of the bisected gamzee parts is going to grow into a new gamzee.

Each one will represent a quadrant not of the god tier thing, but of the shipping wall.

I'm glad Gamzee and Caliborn got owned. That's my only real takeaway. Even if none of this is permanent, they got fuckin owned.

Maybe this is gonna be how John learns to control his unsticking powers, which we know he eventually does.

Weird aside: what happened to the glitchy stuff from before the Giga-Pause? Did that get resolved?

if you want the most efficient way to bring a bunch of people back, maybe you could find a way to make a dream bubble a new reality?

This would have been an awesome flash to have right before the gigapause, come to think of it. Nonstop Infinite Deathclimax

Didn't realize how much I missed the flashes in this comic(altering art styles and all) until I saw the update. And it uses one of my favorite songs from the Cherubim album to boot. I also like that layout transition from the Homosuck to the regular one to and fro again throughout the flash.

The deaths don't really bother me since like some of you are already guessing that this would be the motivator for John to master his retcon powers. Maybe the reason there is no "save game" option on the flash(other than it being a game over screen) is that We/John would have to reload a save from a previous point.

Okay, let me go through and try to figure this out.

Dead (haven't got tiger) (correct me if I'm wrong)
Gamzee (bisected)
Kanaya (vaporised)
Karkat (melted)

Confirmed God Tier Dead
Dave (heroic)
Jake (heroic)
Jane (just)

Maybe Dead, Maybe Not
Rose (No Just/Heroic confirmation)
Terezi (Not vaporised/bisected/melted like the others)

Well...he could be an actual god tier or he's just clowning around(pun intended). And he looks like he should be dead, but you really keep a clown down.

Also, I doubt the Mayor handled this very well either, considering where he was.

To those who hate gamzee: even if he survives through clown bullshit, you can take solace in the fact that he just got a chainsaw to the balls. Which is just about the worst possible way to go anyway.

One thought I had, Caliborn is "in control of the narrative" at this point, right? Then John busts in and starts wrecking him and he drops the MSPA trackball. All hell breaks loose in the story and poo poo happens that kind of contradicts Caliborn's origin and Lord English's plans. At the end Caliborn is reaching for the trackball again and maybe he'll be the one to try to undo all this.

Really, everyone dying just means that the Dreambubbles are the Place To Be, so now we're going to have a lot more Vriskatime, because the focus has shifted to where she is. She just got there early.

I personally thought there were some real feel-good moments in that update, like Gamzee getting chainsawed in half and Caliborn getting his face pounded in. Warms the heart.

You realize if this gets all undone, potentially Vriska might decide in the new iteration not to sit everything out.
