Homestuck^2 Chapter 6

[foreverFlummoxed]

Seeing that Muse has finally been shown in sprite form I thought, "that's pretty cool. about time really."

Seeing a flash page that didn't seem to use the flash player being retired in December (R.I.P.) I thought, "wow. I really hope this is used for the other Homestuck 1 flashes, so they can be preserved."

Everyone else, apparently: "D E E P E S T - L O R E"

(this is a joke I actually don't hate the lore stuff, I just noticed a pattern of a lot of readers almost immediately analyzing every small detail with every update )

Okay but seriously, the flashes in Homestuck 1 need to be preserved on the website (for those that don't want to download every flash just to see it in HQ/actually watch them. See DD: ascend more causally, which can't be viewed as a video/on mobile because nudity got it removed from YouTube, and the possibility of MSPA reader: mental breakdown being taken down from YouTube due to having Hello Zepp featured prominently in it) this should probably be a concern of at least someone besides me right?

....I jsut realized something.

Alt Calliope has a vore fetish and loves the idea of physically eating evil people whom she hates. She literally ate caliborn, then at lord english (a mistake i think as it means that dead jade assimilated the parts of lord english that Dirk is connected to).

I think she has a hate boner for dirk. which is why she is drinking orange juice all the time. Cause its like drinking his essence XD

[A user on Twitter] also pointed out that Trickster Dirk has orange juice (or soda? but whatever) in his hair.

If you think about it, pulp is also the "meat" of the orange,
and we know cherubs like sweet meats, so...
:v

I think we need to give these writers a bit more credit. Cause yea XD

[pfeffer-29]

I liked this.

The dialogue was compelling to read for once. I liked that the unfairness of Jade's situation and the OOC-ness of Meat were acknowledged. (Better late than never!) Most of all, JADE HARLEY HAS AGENCY! For about ten pages, but she has it!

She'd better not be actually dead. I swear, if Jade dies permanently after having the most agency she's had in LITERAL YEARS from eating a goddamn crisp I will locate Andrew Hussie's house and fill his sock drawer with water.

This was a step in the right direction. Please, Homestuck^2, keep going. You've done it once now. You can do it again.

GIVE JADE HARLEY AGENCY 2020

Okay never mind the dead thing! I am an idiot.
(1) That was a peanut-butter cup.
(2) It fell out of Jade's hand whole and uneaten. Jade's eyes went back to normal. Therefore
(3) Jade is alive and in control of her body!

FRICK

YES

Yay for Jade gaining independence!

But there is still the issue that without Calliope, they've all lost their buffer against Dirk. Though maybe jade can detect his thoughts now which could help. Though they have likely lost track of where Dirk would be right now.

[Shitpost Lizard]

If Jade could tell the difference between Alt-Calliope forcing her to do stuff, and what is her own will and her own voice, I imagine she could do the same about Dirk.

If anything, I imagine it would be harder for him because he's a completely different Aspect than her, if what Calliope says about Kanaya means anything.

They didn't really lose Calliope though, she is still around, she just has to ask Jade for her consent in entering her body now from what I'd guess.

Also, I just realised, this is the first Homestuck content I ever had to wait for, what makes it feel somewhat special, even though that may not make too much sense ^^

the wait culture Xd

but no she needs to be in control of Jade's body in order to control the narrative and push Dirk out.

Grats.

Let's hope they don't repeat the Giga-mega-fucko-meno-Pause though.

Yeah, it may sound silly, but it kind of feel sright to have to wait for content :D
And I know that, but still, as of now it seems that Calliope as well as Dirk only has a limited "radius of omniscient narrating", so until they're close enough for it to become a problem - well, I'm really looking forward to see who's going to narrate the story on board of the nameless ship! I'd be so happy if they, like, took turns, I'd love to see Karkat have a go at it

Was that the one that held on for pretty much a year?

i think the only one capable would be Jade maybe, if first guardians can just generally do that.

Hm, I don't think that's a first guardian thing, otherwise I would've expected a lot of angry rambling by adult Lord English, considering that he somehow had fg powers

Fair. We know that somehow Doc scratch was able to narrate to us for a while, though it seemed to have a very different style. First guradians are said ot have omniscience to a certain degree and far as we know, Jade is the only being in existence right now with first guardian attributes, even if she has no power source to draw from anymore.
Doc scratch said that first guardians cannot survive without the green sun sustaining them. Reason why Jade can survive is because of her human half. likely the tavrosprite is the same way being a sprite and kinda already dead?

Depending on what let Doc scratch narrate, maybe Jade can somehow access it?

[trying]

It was probably my least favorite chapter yet. I'm less than interested in jade since act 7; i'm mostly indifferent to the power struggle and the narration gimmicks while in my eyes are not entirely spent, were not utilized in a way that drew me in. I'm not terribly interested in where the story or characters are going right now, I'm really around for the art that I actually kinda like, but this update featured rather boring panels I feel like. I liked the one with jade buzzing around in different colors, and I am excited that there are going to be "flashes", I heard a rumor there weren't going to be any.

So this was the first chapter in March, right? Are we going to get another one? Has someone tweeted about this and I didn't see?

wow a delay of two days sure will help

[ThePungeonMaster]

I've got the feeling that they're gonna tie this into Dirk's PQ route somehow. I mean, at least I hope so, otherwise it seems kind of pointless to delay it for such a short amount of time.

or maybe that is just how many days they need.
