When I first saw this on MSPA's front page, I thought "Oh great, the porn comics are now customizing their ads for Homestuck."



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?

There's also this which also links back to the MSPA homepage:

So since mspachan went down, is there a site where the mspa notifier's being posted now/pictures you can use for it? That was one of the few good things to come out of that site and I was actually waiting for more people to post update images so I could grab them all and sort through the ones I wanted at once.

WV didn't die. Yet anyway.

Do you actually have a reason or is it just because we didn't see DEAD next to him in the flash?

Because I am all for hoping characters are alive or will come back like with Vriska or Nepeta but come on he has a fist sized hole in his stomach. The "obvious" good-feeling ending is that PM will beat Jack and give WV the ring and he'll live but this is Homestuck. Everything will go wrong. If PM manages to beat jack we'll get a panel of here putting the ring on WV's finger and it not doing anything because he's already dead or something else equally as terrible.

Hmm. Y'know, for a moment let's look at this page, and the page after. It's the same clock that goes nuts in the Lord English reveal, but instead of the Breath symbol it's got English's poolball. Also, the clock flashes all kinds of colours in John's God Tier resurrection, just like with English.

Maybe ALL God Tiers are in some way related to English.

God, this woman is the opposite of funny. Her "roast" bit at the start is just groan-inducingly petulant.

Really? I just read through the whole thing and it was pretty interesting to see how they got hooked. The beginning read to me like someone coming into Homestuck with the wrong impression, thinking like the people who swear to never read Twilight because they think it's loving retarded and "it's just loving sparkly vampires what else would I ever want to know". Except you know, what most people hear about homestuck are all the in-jokes which is what turns them off and unlike Twilight there's usually more to it than what you can hear in passing.

It was a pretty good read for me at least. She caught stuff I never did when I first anyway.

I was going to make fun of this for coming out before we've even seen Mom and Bro, and how dumb it is that people are role playing as them before we know what they look like, their interests are, or their typing styles. But then I realized how much I want this to be the truth. Is that an okay thing, or am I turning into another one of those headcanon guys? :ohdear:

The thing about headcanon is that usually with other comics or whatever it's pretty clear what's going to happen, and the creators don't leave much room for imagination. If comic X wants character Y to be doing action Z, you can be pretty drat sure they're going to establish it. Headcanon just makes people group you into the same category as shippers.

With homestuck, poo poo is just all over the place and you make up and assume as much about the story in your head as what Hussie tells you, and then later on he comes back and corrects people. If you're right it's awesome, if you're not oh well and no one gives a poo poo. What I'm trying to say here is if imagining this being Eridan's ancestor drunk in a bar somewhere is wrong, I don't want to be right.

I'd imagine they probably repel each other like identical magnetic poles specifically to prevent that sort of thing. Plus, players usually live too far apart for that to be practical, with only one exception that we've seen.

Nothing short of the game auto-scratching itself could stop them from doing whatever they want.

I just realized something. Dave and Rose are still at the Green Sun with Aradia, and the only kids that are presumably in the post-scratch universe right now are Jade and John.

I just peeked at the wiki. When did we decide that KidMom was the hero of Void?

This fandom moves too fast for me :psyduck:

The wiki is basically like one of the threads on the mspa forums, because they love to edit in new information. But because it's a wiki there's not much room for discussion like in the threads, and we get misled all the time, it ends up having a lot of info that's just flat out not true that's left in there for weeks sometimes before someone notices and removes/updates it.

It's fine for all of the in joke stuff like pumpkins or the weapons from Problem Sleuth though, or the article on troll romance. I'm not sure which updates faster with stuff that's just happened, the mspa wiki or tvtropes.

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.

Again, I disagree. Spontaneous combustion is definitely not a joke, and I have no intention of making light of it. And it can be a tough and emotional thing for young heiresses to go through, speaking from personal experience. And I know that it's often much harder on the heiress then on the man. However, I also know that it doesn't necessarily turn you into a sad, depressed sack of tears for the rest of your life. People can move past it, and heal.

Assuming, of course, that these guys all get to God-hood, I think we might get all the designs before the end. I don't see any narrative reason for no one else to ascend, since a credible threat to godtiers and an overall objective (beyond 'meet up') still need to come about.

I think that having all the trolls' dreamselves killed is a pretty good reason for them not to ascend. Dave and Rose had their waking selves killed, and were revived by having their dreamselves take over. The only thing we've seen in common for everyone who's ascended so far is that it involves the dreamself somehow.

But this is Homestuck and everything can change in an update so... v:v:v

They look like feathers. Golden feathers. Which character has golden feathers? Davesprite, who's also been shown with injuries that look like he should be dead by now, but he can't die because his feathers keep bringing him back to life.
