lovely plot twist: Meenah gets the ring and also comes back in this timeline, and was either the "plucky character" Jane encountered or the "distraction" for HIC that Jane described I mean gently caress it, let's do it. Let's bring both of them back. Go hog wild. Why the hell not.

Thinking on it, I dunno if I'm more annoyed Vriska is back or that this flash and the last Jade/Jane/Callie update lead into it like it was some sort of loving surprise. Like, woo, the two months of updates leading up to this moment weren't a giant fakeout! Also literally nothing else of note happened besides being told "Yes, she's still alive", for the umpteenth time. Maybe the first thing Condy will do when we get back is double-kill her so we can drop the dead weight (fat joke intended)

If Vriska actually becomes as much of a cunning genius and genuine badass as her fans make her out to be I will be very upset and lose my faith in the one thing I trust about Hussie's writing ability, his characters. Edit: More importantly though. Time for some more Homosuck!

All y'all talking about Vriskatime or whatever, but the question on my mind is what does this all mean for Davesprite? In this timeline, he died with John on LOWAS, and unless I'm mistaken, he wasn't on the LOWAS that's currently being retjohnned into this timeline. Far as I can tell, he's the only figure unaccounted for between these two timelines. And on the topic of sprites, do you figure Tavros might still be existing in Jane's kernel sprite now that Vriska's remains couldn't have been used to make Tavrissprite? Did he get blended with another troll instead, preventing dear, sweet, Fefetasprite from also being created (and then destroyed), so now all the dead trolls exist in a sprite form?

You have to take into account the fact that what was 2 months for us will be something like 10 or 20 minutes to most people who end up reading this story. This update was boring, but I'm okay with that. Just as long as it keeps chugging along.

I do enjoy that the one time people were actually hoping for Hussie to do a bigass fakeout where none of the preceding leadup pages mattered, it turned out to not be one. The man works in mysterious and sometimes kinda annoying ways.

I was fully aware that I was coasting on momentum up until this point, but this update was the tipping point that made me realise that I just don't care what happens in Homestuck anymore. There was nothing there that interested or engaged me on any level.  But hey, now that I know, I can finally stop. I am free.

I think the only reason this update feels weird is because Hussie at all hinted that maybe the mysterious leader figure wasn't Vriska. If he'd been consistently foreshadowing her return throughout this'd feel more like a confirmation, behold the Living Vriska come to walk amongst us again, but because he waggled his eyebrows with the whole "Oh gee I wonder who this mystery figure is? Sounds an awful lot like Vriska, huh?" thing it made people assume there must be some kind of twist or trick coming their way. Getting past the initial reaction though, I don't know if "Vriskatime" is really so much of a thing anymore. Vriskatime used to mean arguing about all the messed-up, immoral business she'd get herself tangled up in and there might not be much potential for that anymore. No more ghost armies to sacrifice, spidermoms to feed, or Tavroses to molest. It'll actually be Vriskatime if she finds a way to gently caress poo poo up just like the good old days. A little Vriskatime warmup for you - if this retcon causes Vriska's old ghost in the dream bubbles to disappear, does that mean the ghosts she sacrificed to Lord English will reappear since now she never existed to sacrifice them in the first place? And does that mean that Vriska is now absolved from any moral blame for doing that, since this Vriska never did it, but hey we got God-powered John out of it so it's now the 100% right course of action.

Yeah, she might have had character development, but all being dead has done lately is just made her a boring lamewad, and Vriska is at her best when she is acting like an awesome badass. It's the same reason I'm fine with Terezi losing all her charcter development recenlty!

After all, the greatest lovely twist is making your readers expect a lovely twist, and then not having one at all.

So if they're just sleeping does that mean Jane is going to revive Roxy and we'll have two? Also why are they surprised at Vriska being there if she never died? Jade should know she was on the meteor because she looked at them before they took off?

I like that this explains a lot about "dead" Jade and Jane who weren't from a beta timeline after all. Also how John's actions made her experience the sadness of thinking John died (his retcons made "irrelevant" john disappear apparently). While the Vriska reveal was rather obvious, I think the actual twist here was finally figuring out why Calliope's current visitors' stories seemed so off. It made a lot of sense in the end. But now.. oh god, now the update horses have run out. If we only had Hearts Boxcars to take control of this horse calendar, sadly he fell on an outdated one.

I don't know why it never occurred to me that Vriska could just put them to sleep. It's been too long since she used those powers, I figured she was going just sort of clobber them with shenanigans. Anyway presumably something will happen to Roxy's body to prevent her from being revived, like the body getting destroyed. Or they could just not bother.
