Terezi's password keeps coming up and its killing me waiting to find out what it is.

I am at the part where Scratch is narrating. Clicking through the scrapbook photo's. Dead Vriska is going on a dream date with DaveJOHN who I think is the dead DaveJOHN from the alternate timeline that Vriska killed so he doesn't know her yet in this cosmically elegant joke. Loved the duality between the banner and the frame as two screens.

Karkat continues to have hilarious ALL CAPITAL ONE LINERS. (Also his future and past selves selfhating to being whatever relationship a Spade is until Jade blunted it to a Club I thought was kinda clever, just as I think the whole Troll social system is confusing yet clever.)

I was enjoying it the most when all the stable time loops were still vague and mysterious. But I fully expect things to get confusing again.

EDIT: JOHN who for being the "Hero" also manages to be the essential strait man in this joke.

Not TOO spoilery, I hope, but nah stable time loops are generally pretty straightforward. It's a narrative thing as well as a plot thing (i.e a Stable timeloop has to make sense, or it's not stable.)

Well, no more confusing than time travel in general.

I'd actually be really interested to see the reaction of someone reading the comic for the first time who manages to actually guess one of Terezi's passwords. It might actually simulate how strange the retcons are for characters experiencing them as they happen.

There's a chance Karkat's class and aspect had something to do with it. Even though her dreamself died, he still kissed her hoping she'd revive.

The Dolorosa was a drinker as well, so I think it's just inherent in Kanaya—she's the troll equivalent of a dhampir or something.

If I remember correctly, there's a conversation between her and Porrim in MeenahQuest part 3 which says that, despite all the buildup and mystery, coming back from the dead as a glowing bloodsucker is completely normal behaviour for jadebloods.

Also the artist for the Cronus and not-Cronus video is working on a much longer work that'll feature all the ancestors. I think she said that she'll be finished with it in like February or March, after around like 2 years?

I think the real issue is that Gamzee and Caliborn are SUPPOSED to screw everything up.
Caliborn is an immature shitinfant (:allears: Thanks, Karkat) and Gamzee is a horrible clown whose job it is to gently caress everything up.

Vriska seems to have no real character anymore beyond "gently caress everyone elses plans up, execute badly planned strategy relying entirely on luck (which isn't unforgivable, considering), then when that fucks up repeat". It felt more novel when she was actually learning, but now she got a LITERAL reset, so...

I liked her, but the character arc is really played out at this point. Maybe she'll have actually changed when 8r8k is over.

I have been rereading all of Homestuck in random gobbets (because self-mutilation is fun, that's why) and I definitely think that the Mayor is going to have a critical role to play in the endgame, or the mid-end-game, or something like that. It's fine if he's just a throwaway character whom everybody loves, but I think there's more to him than that: the kids are so much more obsessed with him than with any of the other carapacians. Even evil!Jade regrets eviling all over the Mayor.

I think you've put into words how I've been feeling about this update. Vriska is very entertaining to watch and read, but the substance she had in Act 5 and even parts of Act 6 is all but gone now with this retcon. I didn't really care much for happy dorky Vriska, but you couldn't deny she grew as a character. This retcon has undone all of that now, which is kind of against the whole point of Homestuck being a very complicated coming of age story.

Sure Caliborn is a poo poo who never grows up and learns, but that's the point of his character. It shouldn't be the point of Vriska's. Her character arc really has just gone off the rails and it definitely has a lot to do with her being Hussie's pet favorite.

There are these Let's Read Homestuck videos.

I actually can't stand most of the voices for the kids...except for two.

Fef and Eridan have the perfect voices. Terezie also has a pretty good voice
