I'm gonna celebrate with a rereading and some whiskey on my day off (Monday), so that I am fully prepared and rehyped for EoA 5. The hiatus has really strained my give a gently caress, but hopefully I'll be rekindled.

Well, I haven't bought an album before but today I bought three.
Frog Forager sounds like it's straight out of Animal Crossing.
I don't know what I was expecting but it certainly wasn't S U C K E R S or everyone getting god tier. Scratch DEFINITELY confirmed for best character.
Does Dave going god mean that he also merged with Dave Sprite? Because we don't see the change we do with Jade.

There's no way that's not important. But does that mean The lying Scratch was the girl?

Oh, and PM dragging WV's corpse with her is going to be relevant some how. Maybe... taking Jack's ring and putting it on him will bring him back to life? Maybe something else will? It seems odd she brought the corpse with her if it's not going to serve some sort of purpose.
It's calling back to when beta-jack teleported to Vriska with Karkat and Terezi in tow.

But can I say the death that surprised me most in the flash was Spades Slick's? I get that Snowman was ready to die since dying to inaugurate the end of the universe was sort of the deal she struck with Doc Scratch, but what possible reason did Spades Slick have for suicide by universe?

He really doesn't like Snowman. They aren't good friends, so he shot her.

Dolash posted:

Yeah, but we clearly saw in the intermission that he knew that shooting her would end the universe and that he therefore wouldn't shoot her when he had the chance.

What's changed? Because if he doesn't do it, Scratch will kill him? Because he's tired of going on? Just because? He's not really a huge character or anything but it'd be nice to get some sense of why he did what he did and what significance it had.

What's his motivation not to other than living? All his friends crew is dead, he killed all the felt, the mystery of Lord English's vault was solved, and he broke all the clocks. The only loose end is to kill the bitch who's been lording over him his whole life and who took his arm and eye.

And gently caress Snowman

Hello thread! I recently read through Homestuck and now I'm following along.
Anyway, in regards to the post-scratch kids 'paving the way for the gods' I think the implication is that the 'gods' are the surviving post-scratch trolls. Karcat repeatedly mentions that they are gods to the kids' universe by virtue of creating it, and it would make perfect sense as something the post-scratch kids could do.

I thought it just meant the God tier kids but you got a point there. That'd be a pretty decent psyche-out assuming those survived the scratch. Might be that EVERYONE gets in but I think its a given that the kids are in.

What exactly did he do again?
He revealed to Dave that he is responsible for the writing on their dream walls, which leads to John's fear of harlequins, which lead to the first prototyping, and possibly roses MEOW dream wall code and the final prototyping with Bec.
It might be his bard of rage powers or by virtue of his being a descendant of a subjugulator.

In all seriousness, I'm very curious as to how it'll all look and compare. I'm mostly excited for the author notes, but I've always been that rear end in a top hat who watches the commentary.
edit: late on the shipping cost bus, but is it just because it's Christmas time or what? That would make sense, but drat was that a hefty sum (so worth it).

Well, this was a callback to Beta-Vriska's fight with Jack, so it does fit. And keep in mind that he fought ONE God tier to a stand still, not two and a bunch of highlevel kids.

Between mastery of space, time, wind, and ??? I don't see how they can't make the 3 years pass in an instant if all the God Tiers are together.

Yeah, I really doubt the 3 year thing won't be shenaniganned away. Five Godtiers, a gaggle of high level trolls and a ringed pm and possibly a ringed vg?
It does crank the tension up quite a bit, but it'd be a good example of the kind of poo poo they would have to deal with with fighting LE.

I've been assuming this since UU's introduction. Hussie isn't just going to introduce the handmaiden and do nothing with her, and this seems like the only way she can be incorporated into the story.

Probably a Maid (assumably one of two female-exclusive classes, along with Witch): Check
Probably Evil (or at least supposed to be): Heckacheck

I've been in the same boat. It doesn't help she has the same views on lying as her pops Scratch.
