I tried reading Homestuck and got up to the part where the third character, the "Cool" one, was freaking out over puppets, then lost my place.

How loving long is Homestuck? I don't know if I have it in me to try to get all the way back to that point, then get to the end here if it's as titanic as I worry it is.

You're at something like page (panel?) 325 out of... 4128. You're in for the long haul... but what a goddamn haul it is.

e: I'd say a bunch of the updates are single-panel little/no-text though, so it's not like they're all massive walls of text/flashtravaganzas.

That's still an rear end-ton of comic, no matter how you slice it.

Well, it would seem grammar has been subtly altered (Jane's correction is actually wrong, Jake's initial statement is correct), so this actually doesn't seem too out there!

No, Jane is correct in this case: "A joint gift from me" as opposed to "A joint gift from I."

Okay, so Dave and Bro are still the Striders. Jane's maiden name is Crocker, which is presumably the same across both sessions (Egbert being her married name in the universe we're familiar with.) So far we're consistent across universes. In the old universe Grandpa Jake was her adopted brother and presumably was also named Crocker originally, but when he ran away he took on the name of his old dog in true pulp adventurer fashion.

So... how did this universe's Jake wind up with the last name English?

Did... did Grandma Jade marry Lord English? :aaa:

Maybe Grandma Jade had a cool dog named English?

It's not infinite, a book was printed, delivered to a joke store, crushed an old woman to death, was given to her grandson, the old woman's ghost sprite wrote a note in it and sent it back in time to be a wholly different book

I believe that sequence is out of order; a book was printed and given to John, which he kept in his chest with the fake blood capsules and the like. Nanna laser'd her message into it and dropped it into The Medium, and then it and John went back in time to crush Nanna with it, at which point it was placed in a safe.

I'm pretty sure it's been stated that without the final prototyping, Skaia's battlefield won't 'ripen' or 'mature' or whatever the cool kids call it these days. In a normal session there's be heart of the battlefield in which to raise the Genesis Frog, and in Kids' session there would be no Tumor.

Also Bec needed to prototype to take down that meteor, so it sort of really needed to happen.

So what would happen if he managed to God Tier his dreamself, then God Tier his waking self since they'd both still be alive?

Double hope?

I'm pretty sure both methods of God-Tier are mutually exclusive. For the first method your realself dies on a quest bed and stays dead while the dreamself ascends. Andrew's Tumblr mentioned that to ascend via quest slab, however, the dying self has to be the only one left, regardless of if it's a dreamself or not.
Self self self.

Also burning perpetually in green fire may or may not be a requirement.
