I thought that was pretty clearly in reference to Gamzee but I guess there are multiple conclusions she could draw from it

I just don't get why people sometimes ask "but what IS homestuck???". no one asks "but what IS dinosaur comics?" "but what IS xkcd?" or whatever. It's a webcomic. Surely you know what a webcomic is, what are you asking.

I guess they don't know that Homestuck is a webcomic, and they're probably not asking about Dinosaur Comics and xkcd because they're not nearly as popular as Homosuck is.


Gosh golly gee who would have thought Vriska of all people could have a positive effect on people. And it's all thanks to John punching her square in the mouth. Thanks John!

Why exactly did Vriska being alive lead to Dave and Karkat having what appears to be romantic tension rather than just being bros? Like, I guess Vriska cockblocked Terezi in not one but two quadrants, freeing up Dave to explore himself a little?

That's kind of how I interpreted it. Terezi spent enough time hanging out with her Scourge Sister that she didn't hang out with Dave and the Mayor as much, which left a gap that lonely Karkat filled. Note that instead of Karkat jealously watching Dave and Terezi from behind the chest, it's Terezi watching Dave and Karkat. But whereas Karkat had no one to turn to and so went on the huge penis-ouija rant, Terezi had Vriska to commiserate with.

That's because those comics are easily recognizable as comics. They have speech bubbles and conventional narrative flow. Those particular examples even have punchlines, usually.

My stupid out there theory: we haven't seen Nepeta's body, ghost, or Fefetasprite (even though Gamzee's face is scratched up) for a reason. We've seen the remains or the ghost ghost of every one of the original trolls except her. Could Roxy, with John's retcon ability (or her own void powers) manages to get Calliope's dream body and prototype herself a Callisprite?

Horse calendars are up. Updates resume Monday.

Andrew Hussie posted:

As you can see, it is a pretty swift horse schedule, with a couple of horseless weeks mixed in there. You may recall my mnemonic device for remembering the previous M/W/F schedule of Monhay, Wedsneigh, and Frihorse. Now we can add two more to help you remember, Tuesnort, and Thursclop. I understand this comic can get confusing sometimes, so you are definitely going to need those to help guide you on the rest of this journey.

All pages for the above horses have already been drawn. I still have a batch of pages to draw to round out A6A6I5, but not as many as I have already done. I hope that you like it when characters in stories talk to one another, because there's an awful lot of that to come. Please stand by patiently and enthusiastically as my fake teens sit around bullshitting to the bitter end. Then a bunch of cool stuff will happen, and that will be that!

The comments on the Instagram page, predictably, are filled with shippers

Also it does kinda bug me that Vriska being around made everything magically better, but I guess everything had to be made better somehow and this is a pretty efficient way of accomplishing it

She even brought back Tavros, poo poo I guess not being killed was the magic bullet she needed to not be completely immune to character growth anymore

Prepare for trouble!

And make it a double!
I wanna see if I have this straight:

Lil Cal's origin is as a "paradox clone" of B1 Cal: it was an empty shell duplicated when the meteor went through the portal carrying baby Dirk and Lil Cal. It lives with Dirk in B2, descends into the ocean, gets excavated by Caliborn, and then finally serves as a mixing pot of souls: AR, Equius, Caliborn, and half(?) of Gamzee (possibly the MIrthful half?). It disappears into the furthest ring, doing whatever lil cal do. Sometime later, it ends up in Dave's dream, grows up with Bro on B1, claimed as a trophy by Bec Noir, hurled as a weapon on an Aradiabot, intercepted by a meteor to Alternia's distant past, and years later, Aradia excavates this brewing Lil Cal stew. She sends it to Kanaya for repairs, it later winds up in Gamzee's hands, so I'm guessing Gamzee and Lil Cal bro out on their wicked schemes for a while. Until Gamzee gives him to B2 Jack who suddenly goes CLOCKWORK MAGYCKS by scooping out Lil Cal's eyes. As of now, B2 Jack now contains all these souls as well. Lil Cal remains eyeless.

That about sums it up right?

Remember Jade, and her three years with no companions whatsoever? I'm sure she'll be just as happy as the meteor kids. Speaking of which, I'm pretty sure Dave smiled more in the latest update than he did in the entire comic before that.

Imagine the confusion in their Doctor Who thread where they're both posting reviews; Toxxidation has a Toxx to post a review within 24 hours of ToxxOccupation, who is watching it for the first time.
