i have my fingers crossed that it's awesome news and not "drawing these massive intricate updates on this loving awesome GOAT comic has exploded each of my hands followed by each of my arms and i need to cut back"

He's put the line art for the first three pages up on his Patreon already, so I wouldn't worry.

Cowcaster posted:

i thought he switched from ~3-4 pages a week spread out over a few days to like ~8-10 pages a week all dumped on fridays

This seems like too much? Abbadon had a steady Tue-Fri release schedule of mostly one page on each day. Over the last couple months he's moved up to 3-4 pages per week. Or did you mean homestuck?

Good morning!
Yeah 4 - 5 pages per week would be very much an increase in output, he was on 2 pages per week for a long time.

he recently said switching to this one update schedule actually upped his output cause hes been drawing three pages instead of two

He said somewhere that he can't wait to finish this because it gave him so many more ideas for future stuff, so as long as the ending isn't game of thrones bad then I'm excited for what's next. Also lancer does look cool as hell, I have to find some people to play it with.

so a thing crossed my mind

in addition to us not really getting to see Jadis' Whole Deal yet, and her being ominously presented in the intro page, and her not yet having been summarily pulped by the World's Most Violent Man,

she was there for jagganoth's whole thing about "actually zoss has been resetting time for the last ten bazillion iterations"

So, Jadis' primary issue, as it's been told to us, isn't just "saw the wheel, brain exploded", it's "believes everything she will ever do is preordained and so can't be assed". What happens when she is presented with a compelling argument that fate is bullshit and at least one entity can keep turning the universe off and back on again until he gets what he's after?

IIRC a comic he's mentioned wanting to do next is like an action comic about assassins with minor superpowers fighting their way up a tower that has a billion dollars at the top. I think the Rubber Bunny character he's posted a few times is concept art for that.

my understanding was that every turn of the wheel, every moment of every timeline, would be included in true omniscience. anything less would be imperfect.

incomplete omniscience is an oxymoron which is a really stupid animal that pulls carts

Thundarr
Dec 24, 2002


Incomplete omniscience is just what happens when somebody *thinks* they're omniscient but actually they aren't.

It might turn out that while Jadis thinks she saw the future history of the wheel, what she actually got was a replay of how the previous iteration played out and she misunderstood it. Alison is a wild divergence from what happened last time Zoss chose an heir, so while things may have played out pretty similarly for a while history has gone completely off the rails by this point. Under this take, Aspected Chaos would definitely not have been part of the script Jadis was reading from.

Maybe she'll handle it well. Maybe she won't. It'll probably be an interesting reaction either way!

I'm wondering if she merely saw the truth of things with Zoss astride the wheel, and Turning it as he pleased, and hosed up trying to kill herself to subjectively bail on the current Loop.
