Strider's a space furry. He's into space ponies? Or both aliens and ponies? We're building up to something that will make Equius look like a downright pleasant individual.

I think we've officially reached 'overmentioning' point on Jake meeting John. There's no way they're going to meet and talk without a hitch.

Unlucky7 posted:Has there ever been confirmation that the deizens of Prospit, Derst, and the various lands are even vaguely aware that they are stuck in a game/pre-destination chain that they are destined to win/lose? I think the Prospitians, or at least WQ, are aware that there's no way to get out of Prospit losing the war, but that's about the extent of it.

The obvious Lord English gags are all well and good and ominous, but I'm more interested in UU's part in building the bunny. I think she's outdoing Doc Scratch here. She just basically admitted to causing the need for the Scratch in the first place, by way of arming the bunny.

Regy Rusty posted:Where's the secret part of Doc Scratch's evil? Doc Scratch wasn't secretly evil, but he wasn't overtly evil. I didn't actually pick that he was an antagonist until... I think the time Aradiancestor turned up. He doesn't make it specifically blatant, but he never says otherwise.

Zoolooman posted:I've seen several people say this. I think there were two ways people read him. One was to take him at face value and trust what he said. The other was to believe that he was the archetypal Devil-figure, who lies by telling only the exact truth. For most of the comic when he was around I had him pegged as sort of an unwilling accomplice of evil, because it didn't enter my mind to read him as anything else. He was working for Lord English, who at the time was ostensibly a bad guy (remember that we didn't know anything really about him before he talked about him to Rose), but I read it that Scratch wanted out of it. There might be bad things happening if Scratch died, but his chief goal was to orchestrate events that led to his death ike the destruction of the Green Sun, and he wanted to die to get the hell out of his life of doing evil things. It didn't enter my mind that he could be actually evil because at the time I had Homestuck pegged as a complex story in a 'scientific' sense, like trying to fit a whole season of New Doctor Who together - all these disparate facts that are probably connected, you just need to figure out how, why and to what. I didn't expect the element of more 'psychological' complexity, where you need to work out exactly how true what you're being told is, given the actual concrete facts you have (also you need to work out what facts you have are concrete and what were lies judging by the source, which gets confusing after a while). Of course I turned out to be about as wrong as you can get.

Pretzel Rod Stewart posted:Can someone explain what these words are Sawtooth and Squarewave were, if I recall, one of the original ideas for the Homestuck soundtrack - a bunch of fake bands with distinct styles. The Midnight Crew, Felt and Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido albums were the result of the original idea, but Sawtooth and Squarewave (the bot in the bathroom) and their Rapocalypse didn't really happen.

So this is somewhere between 'fanart' and 'actual content'. Bowman made a music video for Fly, off Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUDkBTYWtGk I like it.

It's good to see Hussie tackle the real problems the world faces this time around. Spontaneous combustion is a very real issue that real people face, and it's good to see it acknowledged.

SpaceDrake posted:Read: the pace of this act is breakneck. People need to stop bitchin'. Well remember that 'pace' isn't related to how much is done in a certain amount of time. If over 172 pages nothing happened for the first 130, that would still be poo poo pace. They're still wrong, though. The pacing of this act has been properly fast and fairly consistent.

Gabriel Pope posted:Of course, now that we're all speculating on it, it's entirely possible that Hussbot is just going to say "gently caress it" and skip straight to the last curtain. I endorse this if when we get there nothing makes sense. Bro is god-tier, Lalonde is a robot, they're fighting alongside three trolls that we've never met, and Ace Dick is their opponent.

Dolash posted:Are Rose and Dave going to get similar level-up scenes? Will they just be implied to have happened off-screen? Or will Dave once again drag behind John in power and quietly grumble about it in his own way? It could be that but I'm more of the theory that you don't need to level up Time and Light to stand up to Breath - you just need to be more imaginative.

HelloIAmYourHeart posted:Did anyone else show Sburbian powers before entering the Medium? I mean, I guess Dave's skills at creating sick beats were a possible precursor of time powers. Equius' and Lalonde's Void powers look to have only been conventionally useful outside the Medium. They can evade Scratch and UU without trying, but that didn't really have utility in the Medium far as we could tell.

I don't know what this means, but I'm like 90% sure it's terrifying. The strongest being in this universe is a housecat. You all know how dangerous housecats can be, their minds are anathema to anything resembling reasonable things!
