Everything about this update was perfect. I was expecting just some simple, lovely anime drawings by Caliborn, and not only did I get that, but I got lovely Dave/Karkat drawings, awful watermarks, yet another dead Nepeta joke, and a glorious Bishounen Self-Insert a.k.a. "THE YAOIEST MOTHERFUCKER WHO EVER LIVED."

If I ever dislike any parts of the Homosuck segments in the past, this one redeemed all of it.

Oh wow Caliborn's self-insert is based on this image here(Cal's an art thief too?): http://www.mspaforums.com/showthread.php?33350-Steampunk-Shenanigans-with-Nakki-and-Ruka&p=4313799&viewfull=1#post4313799

He's back to making fun of his fans, this is fantastic.



Also holy poo poo, that deviantart page is real? Amazing.

EDIT: I highly suggest everyone look at the interests section of the aforementioned deviantart page.

It never even occurred to me that it wasn't real. As soon as I saw the page I made a mental not to go back and check that on DeviantArt after I'd finished reading the update.

Love the fact that his self-insert comes from that fanart of Doctor Who-invited-this-rear end in a top hat.

A year on, and the first thing Hussie does is take the piss out of his fandom. It's nice to know that some things never change.

Caliborn reasserting himself as the best character continues. Welcome back Homestuck.

People predicted pretty easily that Lord English was just a proxy for Caliborn then who could absolutely anything, but we also got confirmation that Doc Scratch has been actively speaking with Caliborn as well (the "ghost" on the computer) so I'm hoping we get one more glorious comeback of that douchebag.

Pretty sure the ghost was Hussie. I mean that's what I got from "idiot voice in my computer taught me about author avatars", it's been a while so I don't recall too well but wasn't it him antagonising Caliborn throughout the latter's quest?

See I interpreted the 'ghost in the computer' bit to refer to Hussie talking to him directly, not Doc Scratch.

ZZT the Fifth posted:

I just had a mindblowing thought. You know how Calliope may or may not be using her fantroll as a self-insert? What if LE isn't actually Caliborn himself, but rather Caliborn's self insert character loving around with the plot?

All the fancy gear and buff physique LE has could just be Caliborn playing up his ideal qualities... and unlike Calliope's insert's apparently passive methods, LE is actively loving with the story and characters, matching up with their titles' roles.

Predicted two years ago. :owned:

There's more to the story than we know and this confirms it.

Right now, when you think about it, Caliborn is just kind of...sad.


Hilarious, awful, lovely- but really goddamn sad. He's the last person alive wherever the gently caress he is, and he's stuck with nothing but how to draw lovely manga and other bullshit. He couldn't affect the other universes if he WANTED to.

He revealed he doesn't know what LE's coat was and implied it was a future thing- so something is going to happen.

Chances are he's going to be LE, no real question about that-but it might be a bit more complicated than just 'self insert'.

Actually, I changed my mind. The most amazing thing about this update is that Caliborn apparently traced at least one of these drawings. I'm assuming the image on the right is from the terrible real-life book?

This is the best update to end the Gigapause on. It's almost like a recap of us getting back into the swing of things, complete with metajokes and Caliborn being an even more awful person in a post Gamergate world.
