As long as we're speculating, I'm gonna throw my hat in the ring and say that we'll probably see this again. Dunno if it's been pointed out before, but since frogs = universes, that gadget I think represents some sort of interdimensional shift, operated by WQ's Skaia key.

Act 5 is twice as long as Act 1-4 combined.:aaaaa:

Well... not quite. First 4 acts ran from April 2009 to June 2010, then act 5 was from then to yesterday. It's about two months longer, yes, but not double the length.

Still, act 5 comprises more than half of Homestuck. Parallel universes, resurrection, God Tier, the Trolls as major characters, Doc Scratch, the Midnight Crew/Felt actually playing a role in the story, frogs... so much poo poo that's practically central to Homestuck lore at this point did not exist before 6/12. The EOA is certainly worthy of such a monster of a story. Plus, maybe it was just me, but I got sort of a Dethklok music video vibe from the whole Dog Tier sequence of Jade collecting the planets. Maybe it was just the music combined with the pentagon (PENTAGRAM!?) of mini-planets, but it was pretty sweet nonetheless. Plus, the birth of the Green Sun I think was pretty awesome.

E: Plus I totally called WV's station being used how it was.

... Actually that just doesn't make sense period. How could the universe be destroyed and reset at the same time? Or rather, how could the universe be reset at one point in time and years later (but not many) be destroyed? I mean, clearly the things that destroyed the universe were not a consequence of the post-Scratch timeline so... what's going on there?
Jack had already escaped from the kids' session and universe and was chilling in the Troll session. The universal reset wouldn't affect him because... he is already here.

So although the circumstances leading to his existence were wiped away, he would still be around to destroy the now-reset universe frog.

Waltzes might fall on 6/4, but just making it 6/4 won't make it a waltz. In order to actually be able to waltz to a waltz there has to be an audible beat that can be counted as 1-2-3 1-2-3 ect, because that's the beat that the box step goes on.
I dunno, the first half certainly feels waltzy to me. Listen to the bass drum especially. It's just a 1-_-_-&-3-& pattern in the strings instead of the more obvious 1-2-3 pattern.

Right, but would you say I'm chasing a red herring if I suspect GCAT went toward making GCAT, as opposed to Bec as we previously believed? Granted, the mountain of evidence seemed to point towards the code being used by DD to make Bec. I was figuring something done with the BARK code will somehow lead to Bec's creation in B1.

Are you talking about the MEOW code? Because GCAT is actual, real-life genetic sequences.

Chocolate Milk posted:

Wait, is this true? The way my friend explained it to me, the earlier adventures like Jailbreak were based around reader suggestions, but Homestuck never was.

Jailbreak and Problem Sleuth were entirely reader driven, Jailbreak to the point where Hussie would exclusively take the first command submitted. Homestuck was similar, but less so, in that the suggestions more provided story flavor and one-off gags. There's an old blog post by him that explains it better, but basically he started experimenting with shutting down the suggestion box in act 2, then reopened it. The Felt intermission was entirely written by him, and he shut the box down when he was preparing EOA4, which was originally scheduled to be 4/13/10, the one year mark. It was only supposed to speed things along while he worked on Descend, but the story was moving so much quicker that he left it closed for good, with the exception of naming the trolls in Hivebent.
