quote:How many situations are in immediate suspense right now? drat, I was typing up a huge situation post, but this sums up most of what I wanted to say more succinctly. But here are some other things of note, anyhow: -CD is in posession of a wallet that we know ends up with Jack/Cal.  -WQ has a spirograph key that could operate this suspicious machine. -WK is waiting in the lotus time capsule with Rose's wizardfic. Relevance unknown. -Something is going on a deicidal rampage in the Furthest Ring. Probably not L  rd English. Probably Jack. (Comedy option: Eridan)-If the Green Sun is a beacon that will allow everyone to escape the Scratch, what is the purpose of the two fourth walls situated ONE YARD apart? Also, the Denizens want to hitch a ride somehow. Meanwhile, throughout Paradox Space

A good poster posted:However, clicking it just takes you to the MSPA homepage. Someone made a fake porn ad to put on the homepage that links to the same page? It looks like the same style as the guy who bought the "DO IT HUSSIE" ad. I've seen him on the MSPA forums. He's a little... odd.

A good poster posted:Is he assuming not everyone knows you can drag a flash file into a browser window and play it that way? When I drag a Flash file into Firefox, FF tries to download it. Or it did until recently. Guess it fixed itself somehow. Anyway, Hussie has distributed some of the walkaround flashes through alternate channels before, so he definitely knows he can expect people to figure it out. It's just odd that he has a hang-up about it now. Walliard fucked around with this message at 01:30 on Oct 25, 2011 |

So hey, who wants to come up with a nickname for 4x-prototyped PM? Regarding God tiers, was it ever confirmed that both selves need to be alive? The closest I think we got was Vriska's "all your lives are waaaaaaaasted" line, but she could easily have been mistaken.

Lexxy and Lazylaz were both apparently involved, with the former drawing God Tier Jade. quote:WV noooooooooooo! Oh well, let's face it, the exiles were never going to be that important in the story, except apparently PM. Another thing I realized (this one on my own) is that she's now fully ascended as queen of Prospit.

Gravitas Shortfall posted:what the gently caress did I just watch? Jack kills CD in revenge for him killing Jade, then leaves Jade's body on her Quest Bed. He then flies to the Frog Temple Meteor moments before it enters a defense portal and inserts himself into the Lotus Time Capsule. He emerges ten seconds after WK, kills the white monarchs, then teleports outside. AR has the exile stations rigged for demolition, but only destroys three before Jack beheads him. PM tries to attack Jack from behind, but he teleports to the last remaining station: WV's. He rips the uranium from WV's gut (bloodying his arm), uses it to power up the station, and then teleports himself to the Troll session using a previously unremarkable machine. He destroys the gate, does all the other stuff we've seen him do, and uses Red Miles to destroy the then-newly-created Kids' Universe. Meanwhile, PM finds WV's body, puts on the WQ's ring, and follows Jack for a SHOWDOWN. Serenity comes along too.  Rose and Dave, having killed DD, resume piloting the moon of Derse through the Furthest Ring. Apparently unable to find the Green Sun, they take a tour of the moon's core and find their alternate Quest Beds. Dave deploys the Tumor, which slides apart to reveal two glass tubes containing the two universes, both hooked up to a timer counting down to their "simultaneous" destruction (Kids' by Red Miles, Trolls' by Spades killing Snowman). Karkat spots the Green Sun "beacon" in the sky and directs Sollux towards it, who then psychically pilots the meteor into the Furthest Ring. He starts to burn himself out in the process and presumably dies by the time they arrive. Meanwhile, Gamzee asks Scratch "what we all motherfuckin' are. Scratch responds "Suckers." The tumor explosion coinciding with the twin universe destruction ends up creating the Green Sun rather than destroying it, and Rose and Dave emerge from it as God Tiers. Back in the kids' session, Jade's consciousness merges with Jadesprite, and she returns to life as the God-Tier Witch of Space. Using "the spacey thing" she comandeers a convenient Prospit battleship and shrinks the Battlefield down to a conveniently portable size. After teleporting John aboard, she does the same to the four Medium planets. She then summons a giant-sized Fourth Wall and crashes through it at full speed as scenes from the comic play back on it in reverse, ending on the first panel of Homestuck. I think I got everything.

If J has my name I will be so disproportionately happy. In other news, I made a utility for assigning appropriate artist metadata to Homestuck music. It's pretty basic, but it may be relevant to some interests around here.

Nate RFB posted:I haven't tried this out yet but this is a great idea. What does it use to identify a file? I usually download FLAC versions for archiving and then re-encode back to mp3, so I assume those encoded files wouldn't work. Unless it's just using the track name or something. It uses the track title metadata (with special cases for Frost and Light), so it should work if that was preserved between conversions. Also, Heart and Mind hoodies are available now.

Oxygen Deficiency posted:I'm dying to find out where Jade and John went. There was a ton of stuff in that flash that I have either forgotten or just plain did not get. At any rate i'm going to read through Act 5 Act 2 again. I don't remember this "deal with Echidna" that Jade made at all. You could probably get by just reading the Scratch intermission; it's where the deal was mentioned. FutureSushi posted:This is a really great idea! I usually do it manually, though one thing I've done before is leave things with multiple artists or ambiguous levels of contributions tagged as "Homestuck" and I'm interested to see how you handled it. Generally I went with however they're credited on Bandcamp, or on Jit's master list. Songs that directly credited multiple artists got the artists' names separated by slashes since that's apparently standard, but songs that were remixed generally only credit the arranging artist. It's not perfect and generally results in a few contradictions, but it lets you easily listen to all the tracks of a given artist (I recommend Malcolm Brown) so I consider it useful enough.

MidnightSun posted:Something I just noticed, don;t know how it escaped me before: Jade only brought herself and John through the fourth wall. Rose and Dave remain probably so they can fight Aradia. If we are really met with a new/reset/ancestor-flipped universe, as seems the case, what will become of our Seer and Knight? I somehow doubt they're simply going to become obsolete, an epic end to lives lost in a beta universe. They can get there from the Furthest Ring. It connects literally everything. Also, we've got some serious curtainception going on here.

I was just playing possum for all this time!" What? No, that's just Aradia. There's only one Aradia, and the Handmaid was never anywhere other than Alternia or its moon(s).

SpaceDrake posted:I'm sort of sad that Hussie feels he has to explain so much, though. Are the majority of his readers really that dense? A lot of people guessed the yellow yard. But not everyone read every book in Seer: Descend. Also, different people catch different things, which is part of why Homestuck works so well as a web experience; by discussing it with other fans, you come closer to getting the full experience. quote:- When Jadesprite talked, she used a green font and large lettering, just like Lord English. Closer to Doc Scratch actually, referencing their shared First Guardian powers.

It feels like conversations you could have with online friends about random nonsense. A lot of the times you see conversations between the kids that you yourself have had with other online friends. I feel it's one of the main reasons the comic speaks to such a huge fanbase (other than the trolls, of course) Some of it is, in fact, real.
