This is completely irrational and stupid, but seeing them posing as a team in a bonus feature snapchat kind of pisses me off. Either do that poo poo in story or don't do it at all!

Late as hell but I think it's like dressing your kid up like a Devil for Halloween.

But yeah Condy would be seen as Fish Hitler to someone like Roxy who had to actually deal with her poo poo.

But he did storyboard and animate it. Also, Cascade was the conclusion of several well written running plot lines, it mattered and it meant something to the story.

When people complain about Hussie not drawing and writing things anymore I'm pretty sure what they're actually complaining about is how meandering, unfullfilling, and souless Homestuck has seemed for the past several years and that the current content being released feels like pointless fluff added to an already bloat story that doesn't really add anything of substance.

But I dunno, I can't bring myself to hate this pointless fluff (except for the posing as a team thing, for some reason). It's kind of fun and I got to see a cute cat ghosts doing cute cat ghost things! And it's on snapchat and not on the main site so if I wanted to avoid it could just, you know, not look at snapchat (or this thread).

Given the general consensus that Hussie really botched the writing from Act 6 onward, one would think this would be seen as a positive development. Anyway, given the wafer-thin substance of these Halloween snaps, it still strikes me as Complaining for the sake of Complaining.

I think the waifer-thin substance is the thing the people who are complaining are complaining about. It's pointless fluff put out to maintain brand awareness before hiveswap comes out in January. Which isn't inherently bad, but I can see why people might not be into it.

Little ways back, but someone wasn't sure if they knew that Caliborn = Lord English, but, yes, Roxy knew and told John and probably the others at some point I'd figure

ROXY: yeah prob not
ROXY: anyway u know about lord english right
JOHN: uh huh.
ROXY: ok well
ROXY: shes his sister
ROXY: her name is calliope

That's me, and thanks for the reminder. It can be tough to recall just who knows what, especially since as you say a lot of catching up is done offscreen. Hell Caliborn is still probably just "that guy who made lovely versions of my friends I beat up once" to John, even with Calliope herself around now to provide context. Still, I doubt they know about the fight covered in Caliborn's Masterpiece and they seem to only have the haziest idea of what happened with Vriska and Lord English (which I guess is why Terezi is investigating).

As for Hussie writing Homestuck content, I'll admit I'm not well-equipped to deal with Homestuck's transition into a marketable media property instead of being one weird guy's passion project. Selling t-shirts is one thing, but if we wander off into viral marketing ARG territory with glancing references to future plot threads as nothing but a mirage to keep people coming back, well...

...I mean, it'll work, but I'm gonna hate it. And myself.
