Spellman posted:Are the two Daves that saved Dirk in the finale forced to go back to their doomed timelines, or are they free to live in the Alpha session now unopposed? (I don't actually know.) This one I do know! Dave's "time clones" aren't from other timelines, they're the same Dave traveled into the past to serve some purpose and then continues living on in that timeline. So Dave got Terezi to safety, traveled back in time to get Dirk's body to safety, then traveled back in time once more to get Dirk's head to safety, then just continues life as normal.

Yeah, Dave time travels (or tries to) by keeping everything in neat causal loops with minimal footprint. He sees his future selves catching Dirk, so he knows it's okay to instantly time travel back and catch Dirk. It's when he goes off book that doomed timelines and dead Daves happen. Typically, all spare versions of time travellers that travelled back without a stable causal loop are doomed (see: every single Aradiabot that wasn't the alpha timeline Aradia). Davesprite's the sole, and weird, exception through a series of shenanigans, primarily that he self-prototyped and therefore become intrinsic on another level.

When this power of his was first shown, I thought that at one point or another Dave was going to look somewhat older than his friends on account that in what passes for a minute for them he has accomplished several hours worth of stuff.

The age difference between Dave, Rose, and Jade is less than a week. Even if he lived several months' worth of extra time in his single day of time traveling, I wouldn't expect it to age him significantly.GunnerJ posted:Has anyone actually sent in any Homestuck 2.0 "how I feel about Homestuck" videos?

There's a Rufio thread in GBS right now. How long until they figure out what Basco's actually doing these days? GBS in general seems pretty anti-homestuck so I'll probably keep an eye on that.

On Homestuck's popularity: in September 2015, I went to a convention in the Portland area and Homestuck cosplays were by far the biggest contingent there. Not just the obvious ones, but lots of minor characters. There was still tremendous interest in it, and this was during the pause. But I sometimes suspect that a lot of the fandom type people are more interested in the design of the costumes and the shipping grids between non-important characters, then they are in actually reading Homestuck. I kind of suspect that Homestuck fandom will quiet down, but I think Homestuck references will stay with us, the same way that more than 20 years later, Neon Genesis Evangelion is still current and something that people were born in 2002 know about. I also think that stuff like Homestuck is going to be moving into graduate schools of literature and cultural studies soon enough. 60 page thesis replacing tumblr posts. Looking forward to it!

Also, what are the chances that Chuck Tingle is literally Andrew Hussie? Chuck Tingle likes unusual shipping, horses, time travel and metanarrational bullshit. He first started publishing in December 2014, during one of the many pauses. Makes me think.

I dunno man, I can't see Homestuck spreading much more than it already has. Like, now that I've seen it as a finished product it's really not something I'd recommend to others. It takes a long time to get nowhere and do nothing, and it ultimately ends in a way that feels empty.

Plom Bar posted:I can't begin to imagine what the thought processes behind Act 7. On the one hand, the hand-waving of a LOT of plot points certainly supports the idea that Hussie just felt kinda done with it all and wanted to pack it up. But one doesn't commission nine minutes of full color complete hand drawn animation for something one doesn't care about anymore, nor does one spend 3 years (by his own account) managing a passion project that one no longer has the passion for. I get the feeling that Hussie had other things he wanted to put in/around the ending, but considering he mentioned how it all still came down to the wire time-wise, it's likely that adding even more stuff would have delayed finishing the ending even FURTHER and he probably just had to make the decision to hit the major points he wanted to hit and be done with it. I think he might use the epilogue as a way to fill in some of those things he may have wanted to get to, but at an unspecified later point so he doesn't feel so beholden to the looming deadline of ending the comic, especially considering the hiatuses it had already been through. Whether that was the right decision probably depends on how you feel about the ending.

So not QUITE that level of money grabbery. Also I was wrong in my last post; there are two games, whose plots run parallel to each other, that are nonetheless being treated as separate entities. So, mystery solved.

My take, which I know you have all been waiting eagerly for, was that conforming to the 4/13 finale date led to all the jettisoning of plot threads. Having act 7 preexisting for at least a year was always going to be a problem, but with more time, Hussie could have put a lot more information into the preceding panels and into [S]Collide.

I'm not super certain that the problem we had at the end was that Hussie needed more time. The guy pretty much outsourced the final week. I don't think he would've done anything different once Collide dropped, it just might've been more talking in the leadup, which wouldn't have really addressed the problems many people had. Continuing yet another hiatus would've sapped even more excitement from an already dwindling fanbase, most of whom have gone of to Steven Universe.
