They're retcon powers. That's the joke. It doesn't matter where they came from. They're retconned in.

It's a meh joke.

I know that's the joke, I'm just trying to understand if that's what was supposed to be conveyed.

sez here that John retcons everyone to the Caliborn fight. so, again, either they just started feeling their oats and decided that theyd rather kick a 12 year old in the balls than win the stupid game, or theres eight hitherto unaccounted for copies of our protagonists floating around in the story

Reading Caliborn's dialogue reminds me of how annoyed I am this thing was entirely without dialogue.

I feel like this was the worst part of the ending. So many people seem to think the good stuff that happens doesn't actually happen, even though we are clearly shown the good stuff that will happen?

I think the lesson here is that the end of your story should probably go at the end of your story.

GOOD THINGS ABOUT HOMESTUCK:

1: Nepeta
2: Vriska
3: The yin-yang balance of Vriskat and Katnep, both of which are excellent ships

BAD THINGS ABOUT HOMESTUCK

1: The last couple acts
2: What the hell was up with Davekat

Yeah but "don't put me on speakercrab", that was gold.

If only because Homestuck was, in a roundabout way, what got me to watching them in the first place.

I remember when people made good YouTube videos about Homestuck like this.

Mostly this, I remember this video. It's the only good Homestuck video.

That may not be entirely fair, because It Hurts!! is a much better story than a lot of things.

I don't think Whistling Jackhammer was used anywhere. It sounds like the title music to some great, non-existent SNES game.

Nah, more money in digital card games. Gabe wants that Hearthstone money. No better time to go get it, what with how badly Blizzard is managing to mismanage that game.

Yeah playing deathball when your opponents can lift buildings with their psychic powers and you can barely bend a spoon sounds like a bad idea.

Hey, Willie Bloomquist had a long and successful tedious career in major league ball and he had nearly no physical assets to speak of.

You also don't get killed in Major League Baseball unless something goes REALLY wrong


The only way people don't die in Death Ball is if something goes REALLY wrong

Which is a shame because, again, Willie Bloomquist had a long career.

Out of curiosity, whose idea do you think it was to incorporate the Homestuck brand name?

Hussie's, so that during the IPO some guy in a suit on CNBC can go "Let me tell you about Homestuck."

As soon as dril has an authour, his posts stop being communal pieces of found art that everyone gets to own. This is why people are hostile to the "discovery" that he is a human being who may sometimes do things to get paid, or collaborate with other writers/artists, or have a regular human name.

Everyone doesn't get to own dril's tweets. Dril made those.

They're his tweets.

How do people hate Equius when Eridan exists?

Eridan is a lost little idiot who was a product of the hosed up society Scratch engineered. Bad, but in an understandable way. He got his just desserts and was kind of sort of beginning to pull his head out of his rear end at the very end as a sprite and ghost.

Cronus was way worse if you're looking for an Ampora to loathe.

Equius is a sweaty saint.

Vriska is Majin Buu. Simultaneously fat, skinny, short, tall, a hero, a villain, a remorseless force of nature, and an irrelevant dope. Sometimes all at the same time.

I'm running UBlock Origin and never saw ad one, that's odd.

Edit: I'm not even getting any ads when I turn adblock off. The only difference is the Hiveswap banner at the bottom works, which I guess UBlock thought was a malicious ad. :v:
