V made a statement about this. The tags are all 100% serious, as in all of the topics tagged are topics that are addressed in SOME fashion in the text. It doesn't mean that some one's literally going to rape some one else, but at some point the concept of "rape" is going to factor into the events and/or dialogue and the tag is there to ensure that no one is fully blindsided by that fact.

Ah sweet, can't wait for the bimbofication subplot. The thing that everyone wanted.

Incidentally, the list of characters does not include Equius or Nepeta. It does include Davepetasprite^2, but not Arquiusprite^2.

Wait, shut up, i just noticed this post.

If there's not going to be any Equius then what are we even DOING here?!

On reflection it’s possible that he’s included under the label of Lord English, of whom he is now a component.

In all fairness this particular tag is probably in reference to HOMOSUCK specifically, which is honestly 100% accurate as to what it, and Caliborn, does to the female characters within.

I like the epilogue. It is perfect, like all other elements of Homestuck, past, present, future and alternate, including but especially the ending

some production-side stuff: apparently the bulk of the prose is written by "cephied_variable," who seems to have a background in sad homestuck fanfic, and they've been working on this for at least a year and a half. hussie wrote all the dialogue.

I liked this first bit! This was basically how I envisioned the epilogue happening when it was announced three years ago.

- It seems like we're being set up for a sacrifice by John here. Rose waited as long as possible before sending him off and said her final goodbye because she thinks she'll never see him again.
- Ditto, Calliope's shpeal about how decision needed to be John's, without interference, is right in line with this.
- It's not malicious, it's just that John is the only one with retcon powers, so he has to be the one to perform the warp-in that we've already seen in canon.
- EXCEPT that there's there's also that John that got retcon powers but then was rendered superfluous so he just walked off-screen and was never seen again.

My hope here is that the narrative is going to be about John getting out of his depression just in time to realize he wants to live, and then a narrative swerve at the end allowing him to. And he saves Vriska.

Part 2 was written about 10 years after Part 1, and is a major departure in tone from the first that culminates in the protagonist reaching an understanding with the inevitability of his demise

I guess I’m bookmarking this thread again.

What I’m getting from this is that John is going to have to go back to that one flash where Carne Vale was the music and everyone loving died and make that not happen. I don’t remember what the name of it was. He is going to have to punch Aranea in the face.

Making Homestuck predictions in TYOOL 2019 feels weird.

I am optimistic. Between this acknowledgement of the hollowness of the ending, and the fact that I'm untroubled by the medium because I love to read and have no doubt the many fan animators out there will turn this into an actual comic, I'm hopeful!

Actually the CWs include clown dynamics, Early 20th Century Dance Movements, and Feet, so I'm still going to believe it's satire regardless of what Hussie's PR firm says

The apparent reason Cervantes even wrote it was because some anonymous guy wrote his own sequel which was being widely distributed. So I guess that's CaNWC in this analogy.

Anyway, I feel kind of good that after seeing the format I wasn't even tempted to read it. Glad to be done with this.

yeah this is what I mean. Plus in part 2 everyone around Don Quixote has clearly read the first one, so it gets metafictive at that.

pretty sure there were a bunch of don quixote "sequels" basically being a predecessor to fanfiction.

Hm, not sure how trustworthy they are, but mod at Homestuck discord said that the next part will be released on 4/20. They are probably just memeing, but that does it necessarily mean that they are lying...
Also, team Meat.
