I don't think I'll be able to get a wink of sleep until this update is posted. :v:

Do we have any idea what the exiles are planning? Why are they blowing everything up?

Secretly Problem Sleuth was actually a prototype of Sburb or some world that got mutated into this self-perpetuating game.

My theory is that the pink moon of alternia is Problem Sleuth's "Imaginary" world, the little pink moon is the four kingdoms, and the green moon is the "real" world.

To further the parallels between sessions, her dad may hate all that Betty Crocker stands for, and want her to live a normal life in the 'burbs instead of siding with the batterwitch.

Wow, the first really useful fetch modus. I'd bet it'll come in handy later.

In public, you and your DAD made quite the pair. Everyone could tell by a glance that you were your father's daughter, sired from his loins directly and genetically, through what was undoubtedly a natural process of human procreation involving a man and a woman. People would definitely nod and say, "Yep, that little lady sure did emerge from a womb on account of that gentleman's awesome virility."

Hussie, you tease.

People read Homestuck because it's long, complex, has great characters and character interactions, and has cool art and flashes and amazing music. The story is called Homestuck because the characters literally never leave their houses. At all. I mean not ever.

We start out with John in his room. He talks to his friends via chatlogs, because none of the characters in this story speak a single word. They literally talk solely through their computers in their homes (don't worry, we DO get to see out their windows sometimes).

Things start to happen. We meet other characters, see their houses, and get some of their personality. Rose and Dave, for instance. They live in totally different places, so even if they did leave home, they would never be able to reach each other in person in any practical way. So chat it is.

Conflict stirs. John has to go downstairs to get a game, but his dad is baking things. Baking. Isn't this enough for you? There's a loving guy cooking stuff in the god damned story, you should be strapped to your loving chair going "more more more" already. But it gets better. John fights his dad in this weird sort of way, then gets the game and goes back upstairs. Because, you know, never leaves the house.

The story has thousands of pages, tens of thousands of words, and all of it takes place from the homes of kids. That's basically why people read Homestuck; it simulates real life almost 100%.

This is the most accurate depiction of Homestuck that I have ever seen. Captures everything in the comic perfectly.

I'm glad I finally caught up with the thread today, since I didn't even realize the book was available yet. Hopefully folks'll like how I translated it to print.

Act 1 came out to 155 pages of story, and it's been the shortest so far by over 100 pages.

What part of act 2 would book 2 cover?

I think that the mailbox was not rigged at all. Here, we see Jane take the smoke pellets and unknown red pellets with her. The "fire" then produced is that exact shade of red, implying that those are some sort of fire pellet. Jane is just good at pranks, and wants her dad to be distracted.

Yeah, it looks a bit Skaia-y. Is the helicopter blade supposed to represent one of the defense portals?

It was mentioned about 2000 pages ago now that Davesprite is writing sbahj now. It could represent how John was tricked in much the same way that charlie brown was, and went through the portal to his demise. Man Davesprite needs some companionship, he's getting pretty dark.

That's not to say I don't love Homestuck's characters, plot and the like; it's just that I don't pretend it's perfect like I've seen some fans suggest.

This whole thing really emphasized, to me, just how much of a rough draft Homestuck is, and how much the story has changed in these three years.


edit:

Terror Sweat posted:

Maybe learn how to write non-white people.

While all the characters are different, they are all based on part of Hussie's personality, or him exaggerating internet stereotypes. He really doesn't know how to write people that are not one-note or part of him.
