Ten comics' worth of exquisite kung fu fighting later, Allison and the heist devils arrive, confused to find mimic corpses shaped like themselves, only to be attacked by mimics and revealed themselves as mimics after ten more comics of exquisite kung fu fighting, followed by Allison and the heist devils ad infinitum. This is what is meant by "fractal." Meanwhile, Mammon works desperately for enough cash to remodel his infinitely large house so he can just freaking leave.

The sword Cat Master is wielding reminds me of Prophet's war knife. Given that he's named Cat Master that shouldn't surprise me I guess.

Yep. That checks out. "''Half-dragon' is an inherited template that can be added to any living, corporeal creature" is the Dungeons and Dragons equivalent of "Hold my beer".

i'm glad that with lucky felicia we finally have a k6bd character whose fighting prowess comes not from invocations of the Art to bend the universe to one's will, or from years or decades of turning inwards and practicing an obscure martial art known only by two other monks who willingly blinded themselves, or from dueling an entire world with a saber until you became familiar enough with the act of cutting to leave it, or from invoking the power of the 777,777 dead gods themselves, but from a piece of poo poo .32 revolver

The only thing that could make this any better is if all 108 pursuers were to idiotically and furiously blunder into this fight.

I'm starting to come around to the idea that there is an Oglaf comic that's relevant to any topic. Most of them aren't work safe, but still.

Is there an explainer for Homestuck somewhere? Not the comic so much as what the hell happened with the fandom? I somehow entirely missed its existence until it was too deep of a rabbit hole to risk my sanity jumping into, and now I'm fascinated from a distance.

The readers scattered to newer things that weren't just going through the motions.

Hussie was a talented cartoonist with a fondness for doing strange things to the relationship between fans and creators (the central joke of one of his early comics, Humanimals, was that a deeply odd fictional author with deeply odd fetishes was trying and failing to do a wholesome office sitcom, and then there's Sweet Bro and Hrlla Jeff), and basically ran Homestuck, his biggest ever project, as a giant social experiment, a warped mirror to the Internet where every character and plot twist was carefully designed to make the fanbase go totally batshit. It succeeded.

If you really want to read a Homestuck-style metahumor thing with Hussie at his peak just read Problem Sleuth and stop.

The readers scattered to newer things that weren't just going through the motions. Homestuck at its height was loads of fun to experience. Hussie sometimes churned out tens of comic pages a day when he had the fire in him. It had it's own soundtrack, for gods sake! And it didn't hurt that structurally it was tailored towards that particular, furiously obsessive nerd demographic that loves to categorize and classify characters, and then use those established setting rules to create their own characters within those templates. (just look at how weird the RP comments of K6BD get with that kind of thing) Also it had Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff.

The soundtracks were actually pretty loving good though. There's a reason that the people responsible for the best music and art associated with Homestuck went on to make Undertale so drat good, too.
