Related: I just had it pointed out to me that Chicago Overcoat is slang for a coffin (knowing that would have explained its usage in PS).

So I guess now we know what a Cairo Overcoat is.

I seem to recall this too, not exactly sure when, and it's another one of Scratch's lies of omission.

Doc Scratch is NOT Lord English because they are completely different beings. However, Scratch has BECOME Lord English through his death. So he's not, but he is, but he wasn't at the time but now is... :psyduck:

Again, he was an excellent host.

A host plush, even.

I'm finally making an archive trawl after delaying it for so long and a lot of the memories are coming back now.

Remember back when a lot of people complained about (half) an entire act dedicated to the trolls? I think we can all say the payoff was well worth it.

Remember when something that took three months was considered to be dragging?

Who's complaining about Jade getting too much screentime? I thought she received way less than the other kids.

I think this is referring to back in Acts 3/4 when Jade knew everything and could do no wrong.

(Off-topic: Assuming the window they exit out of it is still normal sized, they will probably be flying around in a very tiny battleship until Jade chooses to upscale them. That should be fun.)

Act 6 will open with reset-session Jack chasing the battleship around his office, set to Wacky Antics.

I definitely missed a lot of stuff on my first archive binge, but part of that was due to glossing over some important exposition bits (esp. in Act 2) in favor of "more inventory/furniture shenanigans please!" :downs:

The idea of a story that starts with a bad potty humor joke being worshiped as classical literature in middle-school classrooms in the far future is... well, poo poo, I don't know how I would feel about that.

Given the sheer volume, I could see an entire college-level course dedicated to analyzing Homestuck. It'd be better than some of the stuff that passes for college courses these days.

According to this movie ([S]Jade: Enter), Jack caused the rift? But I thought they said the kids caused it?

Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but you may be under the impression that events happen entirely as in the Flash - Jack gets Bec prototyping, then immediately heads off to mess with the trolls. This is not the case, it's just Homestuck being non-linear as usual. Jack still has plenty more to do on his personal timeline before he meets the trolls.

In fact, you'd do well to pay attention to his arm. (very minor spoiler)

I also didn't realize that Tarvos cries brown tears (the same color as his blood) until just now. How weird.

All the trolls do. According to Hussie it's the same pigment in both fluids (as opposed to their tears actually containing blood).

What I want to know is what's up with the new kids and all the mentions of plants. Jane loves gardening, but that was always really Jade's thing, wasn't it? Not John's? And why is Jack Jake's house covered in evil plants?

Remember how Jade never moved any of her grandfather's junk even though he had been dead for almost ten years? Imagine that with a garden.

There's nothing to say that the "ancestors" can't have landed after their descendents. In fact, we've already seen an example of that with the Handmaid.
