If you don't think John is a big enough goober to go after Caliborn just because he threatened a bunny with a Con Air reference, I don't even know what to tell you

Mazerunner posted:I disagree with the idea that John rejected Caliborn's taunts/invitation to rumble. Yeah and combined with the fact that we didn't yet know the exact specifics of how the Masterpiece fight ended up happening, it seems obvious to me that that's an indication of John making a decisive move and rounding up a posse to go save that rabbit from

I think if Hussie is going to credit ICP in the sound credits, he should also credit Trisha Yearwood for How Do I Live Without You (which I say counts as "part of the comic" given the youtube link)

The plot of homestuck is going to continue for another year or two as a sort of meta-comic told exclusively through flash, snapchats, and whatever other meta medium Hussie decides to use. the 'comic' is over tho. this is what my dumb rear end is predicting, have fun.

For the 10/25 sale they put the Homestuck complete discography on sale for 65% off. That is, the complete discography as a set, and only the set. If you've already bought most of the albums and want to pick up one of the newest ones or a couple of older ones, then you're SOL.

Switching from in-person birthday partying to internet contact to not much of anything is different than just being adolescent internet friends. You're right there's no reason to think they literally didn't see each other except for the birthdays of course, we can see John in some of the other events, just less over time. There's lots of ways a possible future confrontation with Caliborn could go. John might try to take him on solo because he thinks his friends are too busy with their own lives, or they might actively try to dissuade him from getting involved since they've escaped that causal loop. If there's some distance between John and his friends forming then dealing with Caliborn could jam a wedge in there.

at this point i think the Search for Vrispock subplot has about a coinflips odds between being really melancholic and played straight, or it just turning out that Vriska has spent the last four years having tea parties with Infinite Nepetas

It's inevitable that Homestuck would become undertale. It's living poetry. I fully expect to see the cast talk down John from resetting the universe as he begins to weep while a piano rendition of Showtime plays

He never mourned the death of his dad, and that's not a healthy thing to do. He tried to skip to the end of the grieving process and it's left him feeling kind of hosed up.

Since in the masterpiece Caliborn is caught 'by surprise', I'm assuming Caliborn does something irredeemable to get John's attention and forces him to use his retcon powers. They've already conveniently made Terezi go away, and Caliborn is technically on the same planet as them, but just in the future. He could easily travel back in time to gently caress poo poo up, like kill Kanaya, Karkat, and Calliope as well, that would explain their absence in the masterpiece.

Is there anyone that thinks this doesn't feel like there's still something missing? I'm genuinely curious.Android Blues posted:I actually really dig that John and Roxy aren't super married or whatever in the credits. They were cute together but they had only just met, and it's kinda realistic-feeling that they'd stay friends but maybe never actually start seriously dating. Also the Rosemary wedding standing alone as the one big romantic consummation in the flash feels more earned than anything else would have. Remember, Kanaya and Rose had IC interacted for just as long as John and Roxy prior to it becoming such a consuming relationship it destroyed their characters.

If the contention is that John and Roxy simply didn't have the time that Rose and Kanaya did, though, it rings a little hollow. I'm not saying it's the perfect relationship dat should be da canon, but that particular excuse is a bit weak. I am also coming to terms with the fact my favorite act 6 character really won't be seen again

Yeah, it's an odd thing to point out to the audience. The constraints of fiction mean you can never really show wholly accurate relationships, and audiences click more with the passage of real time than they do show time. It seemed like another 'REAL PEOPLE DON'T HAVE ARCS!!!!' statement.

it's like cindarella ending with her telling the prince um sorry they just met at a ball ten minutes ago why would i marry you???? i'm sure someone's written this and that people would love the hot take on such a strong subversive message between puffs on the e-cig, but fiction isn't always realistic? equally sure someone's about to tell me they'd watch the hell out of subversive cinderella where she remains a slave because she don't need no prince

Rose and Kanaya first interacted on January 2010, and started dating in an updated uploaded on October 25 (  ) 2012, almost three years later. John first spoke to Roxy in October of 2013, less than three years before the story's end.
