A big flaming stink posted:If Hussie pulls a full on Don Quixote Part 2 with homestuck he has my loving undivided attention The Homestuck equivalent of Don Quixote part 2 already happened: Don Quixote part 2 was a mean spirited deconstructionive meta-narative of the authors own work which is a pretty spot on summary of Homestuck part 6 and up. This is looking more like a hypothetical Don Quixote part 3 meta reconstruction of the text, intrested in seeing how that plays out. Clawtopsy posted:I wonder where everyone in the thread stands on the Meat/Candy choice. I like both, but honestly they're each pretty bad for you in large doses. You gotta eat fruit and vegetables and a bunch of other stuff is you wanna stay healthy and not die of diabetes or chronic constipation. I wonder if that's going to factor into the story? A binary choice is presented with two flawed options (meat or candy), and in the end a hypothetical third and better choice is chosen (the healthy diet choice). We'll just have to wait and see.

I thought this 4/13 was a total bust but the sentry worm body pillow is half off so I finally bought one.

4am thoughts So, Hussie's is making the Neverending Story parallels even more explicit in this epilogue. NES: The childlike empress sends Atreyu off on a quest. She is ill. While the text of the quest is to stop an all-destroying evil, the subtext of the quest is to draw the book's audience attention, because the fantasy land's true problem is that it requires belief to survive. Homestuck: Rose sends John off on a quest. She is ill. While the text of the quest is to stop an all-destroying evil, the subtext of the quest is to renew interest from the fandom, because Homestuck's problem is it's been three years and interest is waning.

It'll be a nice parallel to John's hidden third option to retcon all the oil off of his planet.

Man this is the first "post-ending" thing I've read that genuinely makes me a bit excited. Even just those 3 pages of the prologue covered a fair bit of ground and set up some pretty interesting stuff, and it's nice that we're already getting more of that classic HS clever metanarrative fuckery. I'm really interested to see where this will go, especially since it seems pretty likely from the black/white split logo and the whole Meat vs Candy dichotomy that we're going to see both sides (and probably cross-over meta-wise a couple times because again, this IS Homestuck). I realized at some point why Cephied_Variable's name sounded familiar, they wrote Cities in Dust (poo poo lets be hardboiled), which was one of the few HS fanfics I read and actually liked, way back when (and is apparently finished now so I guess I ought to give it a re-read), so I'm somewhat optimistic in that respect. At any rate I guess it's nice to have at least a bit more Homestuck content that's significant enough to actually speculate on, that's a feeling I haven't had in quite awhile. Also apparently the entire thing is already fully written so we don't have to worry about more unexpected hiatuses.

I read it and I liked it somewhat. MEAT or CANDY? I'm hoping for both.

We're 2000 pages in, what possible reason would we have for making a new thread? It's not like we're attracting new blood to Homestuck. This eternally long thread is both a monumemt and a warning: Homestuck was a mistake-- read it, and become Like Us.

It's a really neat contrast to see this thread compared to twitter/discord views. All the pessimism and all the optimism is incredible. But mostly this: paranoid randroid posted:dont mind me just passing through to remind everyone how little i care

If it was a child it would be old enough that it would be able to walk and talk and have a sense of self by now. Clawtopsy posted:im hopeful because im an idiot who has no pattern recognition Same! Edit: Ledgem posted:It's a really neat contrast to see this thread compared to twitter/discord views. All the pessimism and all the optimism is incredible. This thread is my only Homestuck connection, how has the epilogue been received elsewhere? So far it's been a moderate hit with this thread (And we hate Homestuck more than anyone!), are other places liking it too so far?

upd8.ninja has been updated, for all your obsessing needs. Its nice feature is that it has a centrally-updated server that everybody else pings, so it doesn't hammer on homestuck.com continuously. I like the epilogue. In particular, I like that it's diving straight into "Which reality did the kids who lost in Caliborn's Masterpiece come from?" Because those, not the survivors on Earth-C, were the kids who saved the day, and it's not clear what happened to them afterward except that they didn't make it out the door. I also like some acknowledgement that the Earth-C we saw in the credits kinda sucked. As it happens, I had candied meat last night, at the restaurant Mourad, and it was excellent. Braised lamb that had been caramelized with sesame seeds, mmm. This is clearly the right solution.

According to twitter peeps it's a mix of hate and love but on the one discord I'm in it's pretty much entirely positive in a sense of being interested in seeing what comes next. For me It's like I was reading up on internet history that suddenly came back to life on my arrival. There are so many people who matched the age of the characters and have basically grown up along side it too either there the whole time or are coming back for it. This fandom is kinda ridiculous. But yeah mostly seems to be really enjoyed. I just enjoy how tsundere some of the users here are towards it.
