So what's the over-under on the Flash featuring Fedorafreak achieving God-Tier? I have no idea what to expect from this guy any more.

I maintain my firm belief that either WV or FedoraFreak become Lord English via time shenanigans.

One thing I still don't get is why killing Snowman is supposed to end the world or something. Is she the trolls' equivalent of Bilious Slick? If that's the case, why? I don't think this has ever been explained.

It's an thing Scratch gave her when she came into Lord English's service.

I like the way Book 1 has turned out, but I may be biased. I'm certainly hoping it'll be received well.

The flashes are translated just like Hussie said they'd be back when he first announced the books - as sequential art. I'm not really allowed to discuss specifics before the books are out, but I certainly worked with Hussie to tackle the issue of how best to translate the more dynamic flashes to print.

Is it a pop-out book? Tell me it's a pop-out book, even if it's a lie.

It reminds me of cartoons like "Samurai Jack" where the bad guys were giant monsters or robots, so their "blood" was always radioactive green or black and they could show as much bloody carnage as he wanted as long as there wasn't any "human" blood shown. Quite a few action cartoons from my childhood did this if I remember correctly.

I remember the episode where he fought an entire army of giant robot beetles. Near the end Jack is just covered in oil. The robot's are shooting oil everywhere, Jack cuts the head off one and a huge jet of oil shoots out of its neck and sprays Jack.

My first thought was that if the oil was red, this cartoon would be banned. My second thought was that Jack was covered in cuts, that oil must burn like gently caress.

Dad is going to be Lord English. In-fact, everyone in this new world expect the kids is Lord English. I don't mean multiple Lord English, just the one. He just pretends to be multiple people via time travel. Lord English is currently pretending to be Dad. He goes to the store that is staffed by himself in the past, is rung up by himself in the past, then goes home, makes a cake and watches himself on TV while it bakes.


Lord English is really, really bored.

So uhh question. Jack killed the kids universe, but the Scratch reset it. So is there a new universe frog somewhere else, or did a new one just pop right into place of the old one? And if it's the latter, is Jack just standing there wondering why he's having so much trouble getting the things he kills to stay dead? Because I would love that.

Correct me if I'm being completely retarded and can't flip it turn-ways, but does this mean the original four kids' session is over? The universes have been destroyed, John is stuffed, and we haven't seen any signs of Rose, Jade or Dave.
Can something the new kids do influence the past, or are we in "whatever happened, happened"-land?

The universe ended and their session was reset. Fortunately they all got the gently caress out of there beforehand. Presumably, once the new kids start their session, the old kids will bust in Kool-Aid Man style.

Tinkerbulls. Herds of 'em. How is that meant to toughen anyone up?

Oh sure they look harmless, and when they're alone they generally are. But a swarm of them can strip a man to the bone in less than a minute. And look adorable doing it.

Can someone explain to me why people like homestuck? every time I've tried to read this I came away thinking

  • Why the gently caress would I want to read chatlogs ever?
  • These pixel animations are somewhat neat, the art style seems alright
  • What the gently caress is with everyone shipping these characters??
  • I have no loving clue what's going on with anything, the plot seems inane.

Help?

The chatlogs are pretty funny, think of them less as chatlogs and more of the characters having a conversation. Just sit down and force yourself to read a few of them. But yah, they do get pretty long, I don't blame you for seeing them and going "nope not reading that". It's one of the biggest hurdles of this comic.

Also you should avoid the fanbase like leprosy. They are all awful. And some of the plot can be confusing, especially when you get into the time travel stuff, which can be summed up in this page.

Or it may turn out that you simply don't like the comic. That's OK too, everyone has different tastes.

It doesn't loop. It's stopping at two ticks before starting over at the III for a reason.

And that reason is? I mean it's 4am here and I need to go to bed but it sure as hell looks to me that the clock is ticking down, giving Hussietron 3/4ths of a nanosecond to mess with John and Jade before the gif loops. If something else is going on here, please tell me.

Hamiltonian Bicycle posted:

You're overthinking it. The reason is just that the gif technically loops, but it's not meant to suggest that the clock is looping. So there's a little break where the hand freezes before the animation starts over.

I'm not saying the clock is looping, I'm saying the gif is looping. I don't see where I said that.
