Betting on when the new update will be

Personally, I think it's going to be on the 21st, so Friday this week. This is mainly due to the fact that it will probably be most visible to readers around the weekend. Any other guesses?

I honestly hope it's going to be sometime this week as I'm going to be busy over Thanksgiving week/weekend. :/

On the topic of that, I remember hearing that potentially there won't be a Pesterquest volume Thanksgiving week? Is that true? Has anyone heard otherwise?
I got the information from the Pgenpod Pesterquest stream, so I'm not sure if it's reputable or not.

I mean...
They do have a lot of writers from Pgenpod for Pesterquest.
So...I don't know.
Probably?
If there's no Pesterquest that week, then it's probably going to be that week. Oh well, we'll see tomorrow.

What if it's tommorow

Either this weekend or Thanksgiving is my best guess.

There will be no update. Tomorrow they announce a gigapause, but call it a hiatus.

Whatever it will be, it's probably when we'll see our first character of the new group of characters.
It'll probably be some important date then. We've had 4/13 for four thirteen year olds, 6/12 for twelve six sweep olds.

11 is a really weird number. If I had to guess any date to be special though, I'd say 11/22.

I mean, 11/11 is November's meme number. Also that particular theory really doesn't hold up with 10/25. I don't think they've ever been 25 during an important aprt of the story, and certainly not when Cascade happened and cemented it.

4+6= 10
13+12= 25
4/13+6/12= 10/25

Yes, I'm aware why 10/25 is significant. I'm just saying the number of players/age of players thing doesn't really hold up. Especially with 11/11 in the scene.

I can't believe I never made the connection that 612 is 12 trolls of six sweeps and 413 is 4 kids of 13 years. Like. Yeah I got the arc number memes for other references but those? Even if it's a coincidence. Damn

I keep learning new things about Homestuck each day...

jokes on us, they aren't going to update until 2025 when they release the entirety of hs^2 across the month of October for a 10/25 extravaganza

I always assume "Updates monthly" means "the second to last day in the month." It's a nice surprise if it comes earlier but I'm to excitable to get my hopes up any more than that.

I'd bet money on 11/25. There aren't any meme dates between then and now so might as well wait the full month for consistency.

That also means we might get the following update on christmas, which is fun.

Considering the Pesterquest team is on thanksgiving break and a lot of the HS² team is on Pesterquest too

I legitimally have no idea what to do with this information

I hope it gets out on the 25th though.
