 So... what does Trickster Mode do? In the flashes, in basically breaks the world and lets you go where ever. But what will it do in the story?

We'll just have to wait and see. Also, Tumblr is having a whole shitfest over Tricksters being canon, and for some reason the fact that Jane is now canonically white.

Holy poo poo. What is that dance. What is that music?  Also Trickster Jane has skin tones. Someone on Tumblr's going to be mad about that. Nate RFB posted:So, what will the "B" one be? ApoorDogsbody was convinced there would be a [S]Break where the Makeout Meteor would hit the Frog Temple in the veil containing GCAT and send it into a Skaian Portal (like a "break" in pool) as well as Dirk breaking Lil Hal. Obviously the second never happened and Hal got turned into (the best) sprite.

This made me realize how absolutely loving bewildering this update must be for people who never learned about the original Trickster Mode. Not that it isn't absolutely loving bewildering for those of us who knew, it's just for different reasons.

Uncle Guido posted:Innocent authorial homophone mistake or portent? Oh poo poo. Hmm. Probably means "biting" in the contemporary colloquial sense of imitating another's distinctive elements, viz. "to bite one's style." So a story ripping itself off. Sounds like Homestuck, all right.

Yahoo Movies has an article about Homestuck.Homestuck the Movie Comedy: Inevitable Unless It's Not so Get on Board Unless You Shouldn't posted:If you remain unaware of Homestuck as an internet phenomenon, then you either don't kids or aren't aware of this here thing called the internets. As George W. Bush liked to refer (and probably still refer) to it. Homestuck is one day going to become a movie of some sort. Comedy is hard. Death is easy. That makes Homestuck a juggler. This is my best attempt at translating this jumble: Paragraph 1: Homestuck is an internet comic that is entertaining. Paragraph 2: It uses a lot of pop culture and internet culture references in a way that is self referential and self aware. Paragraph 3: The aspects of pop culture it covers are familiar with at least two to three generations of people. Paragraph 4: People might not think the internet does not have a legitimate form of culture. Maybe so, but that complaint can apply to a lot of pop culture. Paragraph 5: If you can't accept or grasp that you're not the target audience. Paragraph 6: Even if you are the target audience this is not an easy comic to get into.

A student posted:Yahoo Movies has an article about Homestuck. It was already posted, but right before the update. My hypothesis is that Hussie decided that he couldn't let an article about Homestuck be more confusing and haunting than Homestuck has ever been, so he created this new update.

Looking back on previous strips now, this means that on this page http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=007016 Calliope is just looking at a big green glowing lollipop... Kinda anticlimactic. Edit: Also, I just realized Jane's not that fat. Either Trickster mode slims you up, or Caliborn's just a huge rear end in a top hat. Desfore fucked around with this message at 04:31 on Jan 9, 2013 |

No lie, this is the first time I've seriously considered giving up on Homestuck. This is just one layer of winking, meta, mood-whiplash anticlimax bullshit too far for me to simply power through. Not to mention it bloats Act 6 even further and does anyone at all really want that besides the completely deranged?

I mean, for all we know right now the next update could have this just be a huge joke and have the comic continue like this never happened. But I agree, this came out of nowhere and is completely ridiculous.

Never fast enough. Only a slightly different note, after the update dropped I did stop and think "Homestuck is ending this year, 2013. It is ending this year and the characters dressing up as candy is apparently somehow going to play a part in that." H.P. Shivcraft fucked around with this message at 04:45 on Jan 9, 2013 |

If this puts you off I'm amazed you made it through the saga of Everyone Wants to gently caress Jake English. Like I'm not even being sarcastic. This at least has  -appeal, whereas the early relationship drama was just... man who gives a drat.

This Trickster Mode crap is just going to drag it out even further and take even more time from the characters I (and basically everyone else) actually cares about. It's telling that the Alpha Kids only became more tolerable when Hussie clued in to how lovely they were and dedicated an entire sub-act to hammering that home, but that doesn't mean I want to be stuck with them any longer than necessary.

I skated through the Mindfang diaries and Jakeapalooza was basically where my honeymoon with Homestuck ended. That whole saga is the first time the story got really, really tedious for me. It's also characteristic of the Alpha Session in general, which I why I want it to just end as soon as possible.
