I'm pretty excited about this! It's good to have the thread back so I can do my usual lurking. I'm seriously hoping that some of the denizen plot hooks come into play. It seemed a little odd that such a huge reveal came about at what felt like the last minute. Hopefully we see a cut of Jade making The Choice.

I'm not gonna lie, as far as favorites go [S] WV: Ascend will always be one of my favorite flash updates. At the time, not a single question was answered! But every now and then I'll look back at it, and look at all the foreshadowing. http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002657 For Hard-Mode, Terezi. She had a great exposition pesterlog with Rose, but when it comes down to it, Motherfucking Dance Party. http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004679

CidGregor posted:I am really glad you posted this because oh my god, her arts were probably my favorite part of Cascade and I have been really wondering who did them, but I never realized quite how many of them she did. The Rose and Dave and Dave/Jadesprite shots, and Rose in particular, jesus, those are incredible. 16? Jesus. Those shots were incredible and still pull at my heartstrings. Plus the Karkat scene was great without breaking too much tension. Also jumping on the "it gets better" bandwagon for GC. Although what really sold me was City Face.

I've read the entire story at least three or so times now and I'm still picking up new bits and pieces of subtlety whenever I go back through a section I haven't read in a long time. Nthing this. I started and finished my third reread during the Cascade wait. In that time I found hidden Snoop Dogg and ICP pictures, realized that John reeeeeally hates it when Dave misspells McConaughey, and an embarrassing amount of Peter Pan references.

I honestly don't know which log was funnier: Dave and Tavros, Dave, John and Karkat, or this. If Dave, Karkat and kidMom ever meet, it would signal then end of the comic. Hussie wouldn't be able to top himself.

Time to help myself to all this mind game booze." I just need a hero-mode of kidMom doing something drunk, and then I'll have a new avatar.

Bobulus posted:It's a very good one, though. This theory holds water to me, but not just because of Poppop having the B1 book, or Jane having B1 bunnies. Given what we know about time travel and beta timelines in general, it's a substantial possibility that the meteors bifurcated. Think back to Lime-suit Dave. One choice was made, then the timeline split. I'll even go a step further and say that those beta timelines had to happen to make sure the Alpha timeline went the way it was supposed to. It's not far-fetched to think of the Scratch as the same sort of scenario, but on a grander scale. The same rules apply, and to be honest, the clues are right there. Let's use a huge turn table to set time back far enough in the past. Let's have the Beta timeline affect the Alpha timeline. Let's have a bifurcated version of the main characters involved go through a slightly different set of events. And as far as the items? Both Alpha Dave and Lime-suit Dave had a similar inventory before the time-split. As far as I'm concerned, Skaia had the same inventory to send to B1 and B2.

Dolash posted:The best outcome for Davesprite is if it turned out all beta-selves from all beta-timelines end up in the dream bubbles, so that when he dies he'll see them again. We've seen beta-John, so maybe that is the case, but short of making a new life as a new person in the here and now there's just not much hope for Davesprite of finding a reason to live. This has always been a very confusing part to me. When you first realize that we're looking at Beta-John, the first thing I thought was that the dream bubbles are effin' CROWDED. But looking at http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005810, which looks an awful lot like Bec Noir's flames, and looking at how Beta-John was burned, I can't help but wonder whether time shenanigans were involved.

Mr. D Bewildering posted:This has occurred to me in the past, but Homestuck has a pretty huge following. How likely might it be that comic book shops might actually be interested in carrying volumes of Homestuck? Do webcomics in book form tend to be sold in places like that? The place I go has an entire section full of webcomic books, and occasionally hosts signings and panels. I've seen everything from fail-rear end CAD to Penny Arcade, and a ton of hit/miss in between. Now that I think about it, now would seem like the perfect time for me to check if there are any MSPA books.

Android Blues posted:Well, come on, heroes of EVERYTHING die early by those standards. The only characters who've never died in this comic are Gamzee, Karkat, Terezi, Jade and the other three reset kids. That's if you don't assume dreamself deaths count, a stipulation which, levied, says that everyone but kidMom and kidBro has died at least once! Suddenly the Condesce became my favorite because she's showing all these other hacks how it's done.

Bobulus posted:So here's a weird idea: Honestly, I've been of the opinion that this session wouldn't have a workable battlefield since Cascade. Jade brought the battlefield for some reason, even though the tadpole is still on LOFAF. Add to that, Jane's Prospit doesn't have prototyping towers. Going from the books in Rose's castle, there's some sort of plot hook that's going to add orbs to the rings. The same rings that seem to be heading straight to the new session.

So this is completely different from the topic at hand, but I found it interesting. http://www.universetoday.com/18689/color-of-the-sun/ This article goes into detail about the color of the sun from outer space. It seemed pretty cool to know that the Act 6 opening flash was a more accurate depiction of the sun. I also got my calender today!

Today Michael Bowman and company held a free concert in a friend's backyard. This is the first even to kick off their SXSW debut. They played a bunch of Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido, Ithaca, and various other Homestuck tracks. It basically looked like the internet had a party. Michael Bowman Clark Powell, Erik Scheele, Mark Nabors, Tavia Morra, and me. They were all super super friendly, and just seemed really happy that so many people showed up (about 50 or so). Tavia belly danced during Even in Death, and they played Flare twice. There was even a Squiddles and How Do I Live sing-a-long. All in all, a lot of fun.

Prison Warden posted:I guess these exiles could have come with her or something but it seems narratively inelegant, as that explanation would mean that some exiles probably should have been on B1 earth while humans still populated the planet and it just never came up. While I understand this line of thinking, it's pretty reasonable to believe that not all of the meteors arrived at exactly the same time or exactly the same way, or are even accounted for at all. It's perfectly reasonable to think that the B1 universe didn't have exiles until after the reckoning, but B2 did. The B2 universe already has a different frog temple, and the reckoning hasn't happened in 2009. The other possible difference would be the entry-item meteors, but that remains to be seen. I'm curious about the idea that there are several meteors that fall to earth during the reckoning, all carrying equipment and technology that aids in seeding the new planet. To me, there's nothing saying that Roxy's lab isn't part of this. Maybe in the B1 session, she and Grandpa Harley commandeered the lab and folded it into the SkaiaNet corporation. If this is the case, then it's possible that there are several other stations that have Universe-to-Session capabilities. There's probably one that lets you go directly to your own session/universe.
