This is all pretty crazy future business right here. I'm wondering just how late in the game Jake will actually join...well, the game.
Also sometimes I forget over humans even exist in this comic. I mean, they don't even appear as silhouettes like some trolls did.
>> No. 64698
Hussie kind of sucks dick at exposition, huh?

All the same, his sketch of this apocalypse has been hella better than the last few. If overcomplicated.

I like the carapace slums, it's like he combined District 9 and Waterworld. Not bad, although I give it like a week before those poor bastards are killed in some kind of player-caused explosion.
>> No. 64699
That sure is a lot of new information right there. Though I wonder if any of it is going to be relevant in the end, considering they all plan to jump into the game and leave Earth behind.

Did we not see what was going on on Earth with the original kids? Likely the same for these ones as well.
I am kind of disappointed about the human extinction thing. Really wondering how Condesce went about troll cloning; would like more info on that perhaps.
>> No. 64701

Yeah he's been doing "exposition log" thing for ages. And hey, Dirk had some Rose parallels anyway!
As for the District 9 thing, I guess it's up to me to say it.

Do you mean like talking a lot about stuff only they seem to know?
>> No. 64709
>>64704
the original Glyb'lgloyb was a "gift" from doc scratch, a "sentience warming present" or something, so the new one was probably given to her by English when she became his employee

By being awake on Derse, I suppose. He and Jade (who also mostly grew up alone) might have been taught language by the carapaces in their dreams.
>> No. 64716
>>64715
Jade was raised by her Grandpa during the first few crucial years of her life though. Grandpa probably taught her the basics of reading and writing.

Even if it's possible that he woke up on Derse as a toddler, how was he able to take care of himself when he was awake?
>> No. 64727

Hell, how in the world was he able to live to toddler-hood if he didn't have any human contact. I mean there are studies that babies actually DIE if they never been cuddled by a human being.

i don't know maybe because he was born in a lab and began living at the age of two or three unlike most humans who have an infant stage of life. plus it is supposed to be absurd.

bro threw dave off of a building when he was a toddler and dave survived because he ninjastepped or teleported or some shit. these aren't normal kids with normal abilities.

where's yer scientific articles? the ones about the studies done to prove this? i can't find sources myself, probably because it's impossible to test or do case studies.

the closest you will come to it is harlow's monkey experiments, which do show that without soft objects--not even real touch, just something for them to grab onto that is soft and warm makes a huge difference--babies will go insane and/or fail to thrive, but they won't *die* just because they weren't handled. i think some refused to eat because they were too scared or possibly suicidal so they kicked the bucket, but while lack of touch was obviously a trigger it wasn't the method of death.

if we're going to relate the harlow experiments to this completely inane argument about dirk, dirk has cal in waking hours and "human" contact via carapaces on derse. he's not a wire cage kid. a more pressing question is where he would find food if he can't get off his apartment island but you know what, i don't fucking care. it's not important or even that strange considering what else has happened in homestuck up to this point.

case closed.

Humanity it not a monoculture. We have lots of different languages, slangs and dialects with words that are synonymous with romance, but with differing nuances.

has there been any studies done about if you're a baby who's raised by exiled sentient chess pawns on a world ruled by an evil alien empress
>> No. 64764
So Dirk and Roxy are the last humans in their time... but I have the sneaking suspicion that there never WERE other people to begin with. Not in Jake/Jane's time and not in the beta kids either.

This whole earth atmosphere is just set up to give the alpha and beta kids a 'realistic' life so they can start their games relatively sane.

Dad feeds John/Jane cake and other Crocker goods because the factory(or remains of it) is the only place with food in it. John has even claimed to have neighbors but never sees them.

Bro probably spent all his time 'designing' Texas with robotics and the like so by the time Dave arrives, it looks/sounds like a normal city

etc etc etc. I'm not the only one to think this, am I? Have other people ever been referenced? (besides Cosby, Crosby, Snoop etc)

that would be needlessly complex, add nothing to the story, and be overall stupid.
>> No. 64767
>>64764
Colonel Sassacre surely existed, and raised Nanna and Hass. Dad surely had at least one serious business chum.

I mean, there's some cleverness to your theory here. But I think what you're interpreting as a property of the world is really just a property of the narrative structure (to the extent that they're separate), and that because of that, your theory ends up about as credible as the theory that nobody in Final Fantasy poops.
>> No. 64769
>>64767

I see your point. I probably wouldn't bug me so much if any of them mentioned having other friends. Anyways, Dad(s)/Sassacres is(are) a universal constant. Or the only successful attempt at the creation of a lusus for human kids. Dad's buddies are just other 'Dads' in parallel universes or something. I also count Nanna, etc among the betas.

Also, you have to eat to poop

This update also raises the question how do carapaces naturally reproduce? We've seen some evidence that they have children in [S]Seer:Decend through the books and those in Roxy's shanty town are natural born due to the lack of barcodes. If the reproduce the same way as humans do, wouldn't her highness impose the same regulations she used for the humans?

Probably. It's still entirely possible that they're the same person.
>> No. 64789
>>64782
We didn't see their barcodes but that doesn't mean they didn't have any. The other carapaces usually aren't drawn with their barcodes visible, either.

I don't think he's a clueless idiot. He probably tries to not let anything negative get him down.

Finally, Jake's link to Lord English explained!

Yeah!
>> No. 64796

Yeah that was kinda obvious in retrospect.
So obvious, in fact, that it almost kinda makes another relevance more probable.

Theory time! We get a brand spanking new big bad named Harley!

So are Vriska and Tavros somehow controlling the Condence from beyond the dead?
>> No. 64800
>>64799
I think that was supposed to be Baroness using some machine to get powers like they have instead of being controlled by them from the afterlife.
>> No. 64801
>>64799
That's what I thought too. But from what we know, I doubt Tavros' communion powers work on trolls. Besides - as the highest blood, the Condesce's psychic resistance should be almost impossible to overcome even for Vriska.
I could be forgetting things though.
>> No. 64803
Wait.

This doesn't have anything to do with Gamzee prototyping Vriska and Tavros does it?

If that rat bastard is going to prototype all of the dead trolls so the Empress can gain access to all of their powers....

>not a serious story

This is some Silmarillion level shit right here, man. We've got incestual time loops already. Fuck, Condesce is basically Sauron to Lord English's Melkor.

We don't even have a motivation for English beyond him being a universe-munching prick. I have the bad feeling Homestuck is one of those stories where the heroes' winning won't have very much effect, because none of them are especially heroic to begin with. Or even admirable.
>> No. 64806
so yeah, it seems pretty obvious that the batterwitch killed scratch!Jade.

But then I thought, hang on a tic, Jade wouldn't let the batterwitch anywhere near her. What if instead it was a mind controlled Jane?
>> No. 64808
>>64803
it was a post-entry prototyping so it wouldn't have affected the prototype towers

in fact there are no prototype towers because none of the A kids will succeed at prototyping pre-entry

(also the ring only works on carapaces)

>>64804
To me, successfully beating the new Queen, escaping English and establishing a new universe seems like success enough. It might not affect the setting on its widest scale, but you can't argue that it wouldn't have an effect at all.
>> No. 64813
>>64804
I hope Lord English never gets a motivation beyond eating universes because he can/he has to in order to keep existing. Trying to give depth to a terrifying destructive force with a face is, I don't know, just kind of lame and unnecessary. We don't need to know about Lord English's inner thoughts and feelings and we need to know that he has thoughts and feelings even less.
>> No. 64814
>>64813
I hope he'll get some motivation as to why is he doing the things he's doing with the reset human universe. Something besides "raagh i must be an antagonist".

You are saying a five or six-year old killed a grown woman? Is that what you are saying?
>> No. 64820
>>64815
He is saying a five year old somehow traveled from Washington state to a deserted island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean to assassinate an elderly but fit as hell woman, succeeded, and then returned to Washington with no memory of the incident. The method Jane chose to use against Jade was to bite her to death with three very long fangs. We saw the Condesce's ship flying away, but there's no way the Condesce dropped down and stabbed Jade with her trident. That would be silly.
>> No. 64821
>>64820

I think what will probably happen are temporal shenanigans and Jane's awkwardness end up killing Scratch!Jade.

It will be like Tavros killing Grandpa all over again.
>> No. 64825
really if there's anything unexpected to blame for this it's whatever might be in the frog temple time capsule lotus

It's true!

Another theory is that they are holding something back, and that something being represented by whatever Calmasis is.
>> No. 64832
So there is a troll with shackles bearing UU and uu symbols.
>> No. 64833
>>64832
Calmasis has the wrong skin color to be a troll - too dark a grey, compared to what we've seen of UU's hand and every previous troll character. There's a fifty-fifty chance that Calmasis /represents/ UU & uu, but Calmasis hirself is just a human character in Rose's book.
>> No. 64835
Prediction: Calmasis is Slick

Reasoning: fuck you
>> No. 64837
>>64830
I think that Jake is honest despite thinking that it's a masterpiece. It probably cracked Dirk up.

I think that UU had a dream about Lord English.

Hm. Hi guys. I'm a little slowpoke some reasons. First of it is the reason I have discovered Homestuck for myself not a long time ago and I read it slowly.

She seems like the most powerful being so far and yet she's STILL fear Lord English.

I have a question are the Aries and Gemini signs supposed to represent the different types of powers the Condesce received through her experiments or powers she inherited through the dead Handmaid and Helmsman, assuming if she's a Thief of Life?
>> No. 64971
>>64970
Well, Dirk certainly seems to think that they're caused by the experiments. But you could be on to something with the Thief of Life thing. I don't think she's used any powers yet that she could not have stolen that way.

We never found out how that went down exactly, and now I have a weird theory about it: The Condesce stole both their powers and then made them fight to the death.
>> No. 64984

There was no moment at which Tavros and Vriska would both have been fighting Jack. In fact, there's no moment at which either of them would have fought Jack alone, other than a branch timeline about which we do not have reliable narration.

It'd certainly be unfortunate if the trolls had a solution to the Jack problem that they couldn't end up using because of interpersonal bullshit, but such tragedies seem to be the rule rather than the exception for them.

>But death in Homestuck doesn't mean much

I don't understand why people keep saying this. There are tons of stories where dead people affect what happens, but aren't resurrected. If it's not through mundane means like a delayed message, discovered hidden secret, or a clever plan meant to go off after they die, then it's usually some kind of "beyond the grave" intervention, even if just for a moment.

Since all these characters interacting with dead people are basically traveling through or temporarily visiting The Land of the Dead, something that doesn't happen often in the course of a "normal" game of SBURB, I think it's fair to say that being DEAD still means something.

You can't do much besides durdle around in the afterlife unless someone comes looking for you. If they are a Dream projection (like either of the last times Jake or John visited), which is under normal circumstances (i.e. SBURB conditions, not Homestuck conditions) is the much easier to achieve method of visiting, then there can't be much more interaction than an exchange of information. If you visit a dream bubble physically, THEN you can have a bit of "real" interaction, but it's a mistake to think it's anything but a temporary event.

Most importantly, if you're DEAD you can't leave the Dream bubbles. You can visit other bubbles, but there's no way to escape. You don't get a happily ever after. You can't be The Hero anymore. You can't go and do things in the land of the living. You have to sit by and watch, and if you're lucky you get to cheer on the people who are Still Alive.

>>64992
>God, I hope Hussie doesn't bring people back from the dead.

This would be the only thing that would make my argument fold faster than a kick to the crotch. I'd rather like it if the consequences of dying were permanent. This is kinda why Dragon Ball Z lost it's appeal to me over the years (among other reasons, but that is besides the point). And so far we've seen no evidence to point towards the anything but death being permanent in Homestuck. I just hope Vriska's blustering about finding a way out was only exactly what it sounded like: Vriska being Vriska.

Well, the pre-Scratch trolls were the ones who set this really long chain of events in motion in the first place. Hussie's also using Meenah as a way for us to get to know the Condesce without making her less threatening, sort of like what he did with Jack in the Midnight Crew intermission. And to be fair, apart from Aranea (who mostly provides information), Meenah and what/whoever UU and uu is/are, there's not really indication we'll be meeting any of the others.

It might be a bad idea to read act 6 with the idea of it being a conclusion in mind. I mean, yeah, we're getting to the end but it'll likely still be a while before Homestuck is over.

I was browsing the MSPA forums a while back, and Hussie made a post that said despite having 7 acts, Homestuck's pacing is more like that of a trilogy. Acts 1-4 are the first part, act 5 is the second and now we are in the final. So act 6 looks like it will probably end up comprising about a third of Homestuck, with a tiny act 7 at the end.

But yeah, adding 12 new characters this late into the story (right after adding 4 new characters no less) isn't something I'm fond of.

Kind of off topic from the current events in the comic, but I've been wondering something.

The meteors from the beta session are being sent to alpha earth now right? And it isn't just the meteors carrying the paradox babies, because the frog temple is on Jake's island. The temple was brought to Earth on a meteor, so all the stuff that went through a portal is going to show up on alpha Earth right? The biggest difference being that the time the meteors arrive seems to have changed drastically.

So, wouldn't this mean that the exiles from the beta session may show up on alpha Earth since they went through portals to get to the beta Earth? And would the ring-bearing Jack and the beta-game White King be in that lotus time-capsule thing? If both the Jack in the time capsule and WV show up on Earth now, we would not only have copies of those two characters but two additional rings, wouldn't we?

Mostly I hope this is the case so that AR can come back.
>> No. 65074
>>65073
>And it isn't just the meteors carrying the paradox babies, because the frog temple is on Jake's island.

Different frog temple. If it was the same one, Bec would have been on it, instead of (presumably) GCAT.
http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006605
>ROSE: That meteor however could have been propelled through a portal by any means, not just via the reckoning.

As far as Rose, and by extension the reader, knows right now, only those eight meteors went back in "time".


That said, though, carapaces seem to be widely identical across sessions, and I'm pretty sure Hussie quasi-confirmed the existence of a troll WV who never got the chance to start his revolution, so I wouldn't completely rule out the possibility of a post-Scratch AR making an appearance.

No, it's definitely too late for some things. Titles, for instance. We are in the midst of finding out what each title means NOW when that is really basic information about the game that, if they were relevant, should have been expanded on when they were first introduced or when opportunities to explain the game further during acts 4 and 5.1 came up. The fact that there is still speculation on what John's aspect actually represents isn't really a good thing.

It's not exactly the product of shitty writing, it's more like Homestuck's format backed him into a corner and now he has to throw down all these mechanics and backstory because they will be relevant later. He can't go back and edit them in, and narrative infodumps won't really work at this point in the story because there is pretty much no narrative at all--lately the story has been conveyed almost entirely in dialogue. So the only thing that's really left to do is have characters who know more talk to the protagonists about them. And that's boring.

At this point I think the best way to do it is another walkaround flash where one of the characters can speak to the ghosts of their consorts and read wall inscriptions about these things. It would get a lot of information out of the way and it would be a lot more fun than these pesterlogs, if only because consorts are charming.

Did you think that maybe the reason we are finding out about title meanings is because those ultimate potentials we're learning are going to be realized soon? He is practically setting us up.

Narrative infodumps won't work? UU and Aranea have had infodumping on lockdown since Act 6 started. We'll learn what all the titles are no problem, it'll just be in the incredibly slow and arduous manner that we're used to at this point.

Romantic situations allow for certain kinds of humor to be more accessible to the story, for example the humor inherent in seeing a character become flustered in certain awkward situations.

>JAKE: Aaaaargh oh god oh god you sensed my stupid sexy thoughts i KNEW it.

Wow would you look at that. Comedy.

Every moment of 'romance' in Homestuck that I can recall has in some way or another been intended as comedic. You can say Homestuck is a coming of age story, or a story about a magical adventure, or use a shitload of other descriptions, and you'd be right, but Homestuck has always fundamentally been about comedy and pushing the limitation of how webcomics are defined.

As long as the romantic parts are, or are at least intended to be, comedic, they fit into the story just fine. I find it odd that fans never react so vehemently to parts of the story that focus on other kinds of interpersonal relationships. There have been more plot delaying pesterlogs focused on friendship rather than romance, but those don't normally cause heated reactions. Why is that? Friendship and romance both allow for comedic dialog and situations, development for characters and their relationships with each other, and move the story along at about the same pace. So why such a vitriolic reaction to one and not the other?

There are hundreds of webcomics where that would be an accurate statement, and yet you decide that the pseudo-sprite comic made by a dude who doesn't even read manga is most fitting of that description.

Wow. Just wow.

I don't get people who are *mad* that Homestuck isn't paced like a story about Sburb. It isn't about Sburb. The only person in the entire comic who played the game "correctly" is Aranea; every other character has been too busy with more important Green Sun/Lord English shit.

Yeah, I'm gonna agree with Chapmaine, here. These updates are cute!

Aranea is actually just really, really cute. And it's funny how she's describing herself and then being like "No no, just because I sound like I'm cool doesn't mean I actually am!"

And any more information on Universe A1 is appreciated, imo. I may be alone in this sentiment, though, but I still hold it.

You are (not) alone.

Jake's dreambubble is the most fun I've had with the non-Roxy B2 kids so far, and Aranea is entertaining as well. Plus, everything I wanted to be true about the A1 trolls seems to be. :)

So Jake will make the snackrifice later down the line when he's god-tier to defeat Lord English, giving hope to all life throughout paradox space that he can be stopped, robbing him of his power. Then Jake will get to have sloppy dead-makeouts for the rest of eternity with Aranea

At the very least, Red Miles doesn't seem to come from any particular prototyping; my bet is that it's a function of the ring itself.

Myeah, but isn't Red Miles practically an euphemism for those rivers of blood he just mentioned? Blowing planets to bits really isn't his style.
>> No. 65321
perhaps it gives him some sort of control over derse's citizenry? Or derse itself? It is the keys to the kingdom, maybe it's how the queen forces the dersites to war? Only DD is gonna use it to make everyone look for Dirk?

Let's do it with the first page of the next update.
Dramatic, but not as super spoilery as the last page of the update is likely to be.

Actually, even then we're not in danger of falling off page 1 for a while. Meh, we'll see.
Someone will hopefully use good judgement.
>> No. 65351
And with a big update, I guess NOW is the time to make a new thread?
