I will be genuinely surprised if Vriska survives this comic.

I'd put money on it if I wasn't so poor.
I'm putting my money on only Roxy and John surviving. I'd put money on that if I wasn't such a sore loser.

That would be a really depressing ending!
I've had that ending in mind for a while. I recall the flash-game that had John walk through Act-curtains and walk around what seemed, essentially, to be the end-game. It's been a while, but I seem to remember it implying only two people would survive. I think. I should replay it.

Also, if that does happen, I reckon it'll have to be one character from the Alpha universe and one player from the Beta universe. It's got to be John and Roxy because, after all, the wind skims the voids.

I think I'll use the eight-pronged diamond-centered troll symbol one on the left for my trollsona. Yes. That seems the most special-snowflake of the lot.

No, this is good. All y'all seem to have forgotten how horrible and boring and opposite of awesome our beloved Vriskatime™ (and, by extension, Meenah) had become under the reign of (Vriska). I am more than happy to see good-Vriska tear (Vriska) a new one.

Could you elaborate that a bit? Because at the cost of repeating myself, I can't imagine how could you not want to punch Vriska straight in the nose right Now.
I've always wanted to punch Vriska is the nose. That's why she's great. I just do not give a single everloving gently caress about (Vriska).

Crying sadsack (Vriska), in addition to all the stuff WAR FOOT just said, is also being selfish in her break-up. Literally everything about it is her wanting to keep her little, safe-feeling, love-bubble around her regardless of whether or not Meenah is happy.

It just occurred to me that Homestuck was better booked than the entirety of this year's Wrestlemania.

Honestly, I've been waiting for the Homestuck fight scene every since its inception and I'm pretty happy it was played straight. Fraymotifs being a thing was the highlight for me.

Heir of Grief is such a good loving song, I was tearing up at the start of it. I don't think I've liked a Homestuck song this much since Overture back in 2012.

It's Homestuck meets Dragonforce and it's just so good you guys.

Editi: a bit of At The Drive In and Howl's Moving Castle too. SO GOOD.

Jade didnt magic the rings away because she was taking advantage of the first chance shes had in years to play with her freaking good dog/best friend like she used to, while also trying to keep them from flattening the whole session. they even teleport around similarly to the flash where she feeds Bec.
So basically, she could but didn't because she wanted to have fun during apocalyptic fight. gg Jade.

Oh hey, so that was a thing that happened.

In the space of Homestuck, I finished university, lived in Japan, returned to Australia and then lived in Japan again. It seems like an eternity ago that I got into it. Hell, it seems an eternity ago that I was doing lovely podcasts with the art and music team prior to Cascade.Through it all though, even in this somewhat under-whelming end, one thing has remained true in the end:

The best time is Vriskatime.™

So, as I understand it, the fact that everyone got a GOOD END was because Vriska released the thing from the thing. Vriska won the game for everyone. It's been a while since I've said this, but it's good to say it again, especially at the end of Homestuck.

VRISKA DID IT.

The more I think about it, the more I realize that it was impossible for Homestuck to have a satisfying conclusion at this point. Too many characters have been introduced to give them all a real resolution, too many plot threads and subplots to give each one a denouement, and too much background mythology to wrap up.

Hussie wrote himself into a place where his only options were to create another whole act trying to tie up every loose end without boring the reader, or to do the narrative equivalent of "K THNX BYE".

People in this thread have been saying for possibly years now that the immeasurable unfulfilled story fragments would make the comic impossible to end, and they were right.

Hello.

I'm the goon what made post #8 on this thread nine goddamned years ago. Today, I discovered there is Homestuck content post Act 7.

Guess I better breathe deep 'cause I'm jumping back in.
