So, while Jake was arguing with Lil' Hal's crap (LHC), the revived Dirk was literally right behind him, watching the whole thing. Ahahahah. Is he okay with the whole thing turning weird, or did he just not want to cause some sort of paradox?
I must say, the abrupt end of that first flash was a bit shocking. I mean, as soon as I saw him put the transportalizer over his head, my first thought was. "Won't that... No, he'll probably just go through it slowl- oh."
But I have to say, he really is. Not only did he concoct a plan that got all four of them back to life inside the span of two short minutes, he managed to get his entrance into the game ready, wake up everyone who was unconscious or AWOL, and bring them all together in the same time period for the first time ever. Specifically, Jake/Jane's time period, where the worst thing to fear is the first day of the Condescension. In other words, he escaped the Miles. Twice over

The only thing that's awful about Dirk kicking so much ass is how terrible he makes Roxy, Jake and Jane look by comparison.

I think what happened is that there were two kernalsprites in that cruxtroopakoopa, the red one and the green one. They came out at the same time, and prototyped each other. A kernalsprite prototyping a kernalsprite cancel each other out, and as a result, it creates a black hole.

LE himself? All the doomed timeline selves & presumably dead alpha selves (Equius) on the planet. Alpha Vriska & Tavros seem to have escaped because they're in a totally different bubble with DeadHussie.

END OF PAUSE 2
Posted on 28 July 2012 by Andrew
With EOP2 comes EOA6A3.
Another piece by M. Brown. I told you we had entered the Brown Zone, but you didn't listen. It's not in an album yet, and won't be for a little while. Not until some time after Solo Album Month, which according to my calendar is happening REALLY SOON.
Only one more pause to get through before we start cruising again. Unfortunately this will be the longest one. PAUSE ONE was 8 days. PAUSE TWO, including the trip to SDCC, was 19 days. I'm thinking PAUSE THREE will be slightly longer than that. I'll guess about 3 weeks. I have a lot to catch up on that does not involve working on Homestuck. Stuff I have neglected due to a solid month of non stop animation and travel. Some book work to do. Some secret projects. And, yes, some of this pause will involve working on HS a bit as well, as I get the next Thing ready for you to see.
Thank you for your patience. Hang in there for EOP3:A6I3.

Basically because I have no idea what the fuck just happened.
There's now a giant seizure-inducing Terminator-faced sarcophagus that Lord English flies around in? Everyone everywhere is dead... except not Dave for some reason? Except maybe he is? It's the future? It's the past? It's another universe? Jack and PM are back because we've all forgotten they exist?

I'll try to help you out, Mauve:
There's now a giant seizure-inducing Terminator-faced sarcophagus that Lord English flies around in?
He actually jumped into that at the end of this flash. (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006011) It's apparently his means of time travel.
Everyone everywhere is dead... except not Dave for some reason? Except maybe he is? It's the future? It's the past? It's another universe?
Those were all dead characters, most of whom came from alternate timelines. They were re-killed by Lord English after he entered their dream bubble.
Jack and PM are back because we've all forgotten they exist?
They were always around, but have been spending the time since the end of Act 5 fighting their way through the Furthest Ring, with Jack chasing after the meteor that Rose, Dave, and the trolls are on while PM chases him in order to kill him.

Well. That was.... something.
Seriously. I have no words.
Basically because I have no idea what the fuck just happened.
There's now a giant seizure-inducing Terminator-faced sarcophagus that Lord English flies around in?
His Cairo Overcoat transforms into the sarcophagus, and it's how he travels through time and space and stuff.
Everyone everywhere is dead... except not Dave for some reason? Except maybe he is?
All the ghosts that were already dead are now dead again. The horror terrors might be dead, or just wounded. Dave, and everyone else on the meteor, is/are fine. For now at least.
It's the future? It's the past? It's another universe? Jack and PM are back because we've all forgotten they exist?
It's that place where time acts ridiculous based on how far you travel. It seems like as they (the meteor with Dave and folks) travel away from the Green Sun, they jump to a point in time wayyyyy in the future and Dave witnesses Caliborn's entering. Meanwhile Jack was always chasing the meteor and PM was always chasing him. There wasn't much to show there since Jack doesn't want to fight her and loose his prey (also because she mad him swoon), and they're evenly matched so it's not like PM can catch him.

Mauve Mage, that was a dreambubble. They have ghosts of dead characters, a lot of whom are from beta timelines.
That whole segment with Lord English took place in the Furthest Ring, where the Horrorterrors are, and subsequently the dreambubbles they produce. The sarcophagus is Lord English's Dr Who-esque time machine, which doubles as his rainbow coat (like the Problem Sleuth gun/key glitch).
Lord English entered one of the many dreambubbles that exist throughout the Furthest Ring, and destroyed it. In doing so, he annihilated the ghosts that were inside that one particular dreambubble. Most, if not all, of those ghosts were the dead versions of characters who have died in beta timelines. There are other dreambubbles which he has not touched, so ghosts like alpha Vriska and alpha Tavros are still safe. He also fatally hurt the Horrorterrors that surrounded the destroyed dreambubble.
Dave was on the meteor that is currently traveling through the Furthest Ring towards the new session at faster than light speed. They passed through the dreambubble. He is looking back on the dreambubble they left, and watched it get destroyed by Lord English.
PM and Noir were behind them. They stopped when they saw the dying Horrorterrors, and realized what that meant about Lord English's absurd, tremendous power.
The segment with uu/Caliborn takes place on a version of Earth, in an incarnation of the human's universe that is separate from B1 (pre-Scratch) and B2 (post-Scratch). There are many incarnations of the human universe contained within the frog; it is not just limited to pre-Scratch and post-Scratch. Since it takes place within a universe, it is therefore separate from the events in the dreambubble and Furthest Ring, which exists outside all universes.
Caliborn wakes up and takes over his body entirely. He bites through his own leg to escape Calliope's shackles. He goes outside. The cruxtruder releases two kernalsprites, one for Calliope, one for Caliborn. The two kernalsprites prototype each other, creating an infinite loop that causes a black hole. The black hole begins to suck in the supergiant star as Caliborn enters his session.
The image of the black hole sucking in the sun is reminiscent of Calliope's drawing. The drawing was red and green, with a big white sphere with a curling swirling tail. The big white sphere ended up being the star, and the swirling tail ended up being the part of the sun that got sucked into the black hole.
It is widely believed that Caliborn is a young version of Lord English.
One popular theory for why Lord English destroyed the dreambubble is this: he is hunting down Calliope's ghost. Caliborn hates Calliope, and declared his intent to kill her completely, utterly, and multiple times. When Calliope's dreamself died, it would become a ghost in a dreambubble, just like everyone else. So there is a piece of her that still exists out there in the Furthest Ring. The theory is that by destroying every dreambubble he comes across, Lord English- an adult Caliborn- hopes to eradicate Calliope's final self once and for all. In doing so, he would satisfy both his hatred for her, as well as assure his own safety, since there is still a chance that saying Calliope's name in his presence will cause him to fall asleep and wake up as her.

We've known about the sarcophagus since LE's introduction. He uses it to travel through time and in this instance used it to traverse the furthest ring and the dreambubbles, where all the dead players from other timelines go. Lord English destroyed that Dream Bubble and the dead players inside it, but not those on the meteor. Dave was merely watching from the meteor in the veil. The others on the meteor are presumably still alive and just inside the lab somewhere. Jack and PM have been chasing after the meteor where Dave, Rose, Terezi, Kanaya, and Karkat are located, but were suddenly halted at the sight of LE destroying the Dreambubble.

I'd just like to point out, that's pretty much what game development is.
Like, it doesn't cost a ton of money to make a high fidelity game because you have to pay per polygon or something. It costs money to make a high fidelity game because the game developers need to be paid and eat, and the longer the development cycle takes, the more that is the case. I would be disappointed if the money WASN'T mostly going to the game developers for their own personal use.
If they break the goal, that means they can hire on additional developers to spend the money for their own personal use.
And if you think 700k is too much for a videogame, you're underestimating how much games cost to make.

To an archival reader this will be meaningless zooming. To a normal reader this is just dickish.
Well yeah. I was mostly making fun of Hussie's constant insistence that he is a master of pace and nobody could possibly insinuate that Homestuck is even slightly bloated.

Random zooming is nothing new. Random zooming following a flash to break weeks of hiatus is rightly annoying, though.

This is intense. I've been on the literal edge of my seat for two actual days.
I have not gone to the bathroom in all that time, such is my apprehension.

Now, I don't know anything about pacing, but I can see how this is supposed to work: The lengthy almost repetitive zooming and panning lets us know how many times these people have watched Con Air in the last year. We're bored because nothing much have happened in a bunch of weeks; imagine how much has happened with this gang in the last year.
I like how John is still completely immersed in the movie. And has clearly used his natural leader skills to get everyone in the world to watch it with him, with at least some apparent interest.

You'd think he'd be spending his time doing the windy thing to fly around the strange landscapes or somethin'.

John's not good at dealing with his problems and has a natural tendency to ignore the bad and maintain an upbeat, playful attitude regardless of what life throws at him. And, on his 13th birthday, life threw basically every awful thing it could at him after otherwise living a fairly idyllic suburban existence. He and everyone he knows has died at least once, and the only parent he's ever had died permanently. And he kept a stiff upper lip the whole time.
Now he's spent the past two years cut off from most everyone he's ever cared about, with only Jade and Davesprite to truly keep him company, and he's been playing third wheel to them, as well as all the sticky issues of Davesprite being Dave but also not quite being the same Dave being something that John has been very intent on not thinking about at all. Nannasprite's there but, despite the blood relation, she's not someone he ever knew before and, if the past couple intermissions are any indication, she's done little more than bombard him with pranks and baked goods for the entire duration. The consorts, Prospitians, Dersites, and imps are mostly just wacky idiots that don't provide any truly fulfilling company. And, on top of all that, he's been spending the past two years taking care of Rose's fucking cat.
So he's become understandably bitter, but he's not opening up and actually dealing with any of his problems because it's not in his nature to do so and is instead redirecting his bitterness towards anything that subtly reminds him of any of it, which has apparently been everything. In this instance, it was Con Air, which has been something John previously looked upon as a parallel to his own adventure, and therefore in his mind has become sort of symbolic of all the shit he's been through and how dissatisfying it's all become now.
Also he's 15 years old and nobody is particularly pleasant at that age.

Well, that's really going to ruin any future interactions between Jade and the non-feathery asshole. Especially if the non-feathery one is "cheating". Orange floating clones make for the best teenage angst.
...where is robo-Spades when you need him and his stabbyness?
EDIT: It's going to cut to BecJack and his own romantic angst over PM sooner or later. Because doggy relationships.

The thing with this is that it's Kanaya we heard it from, who has a history of building up expectations in her own mind and then winding up crushingly disappointed by reality. It's kind of her thing.
So I'd personally say the estimate is closer to 50%, which is probably the safer bet since all we have to go on is Kanaya saying "maybe."

It was hinted a very long time ago that Rose inherited Dirk's appreciation for weird smut. It's not necessarily anything that has to do with Kanaya.

I'm actually really enjoying this development. It's nice to see John experience some growing pains, as opposed to being his usual oblivious happy-go-lucky self. Karkat seems to have rubbed off on him.
It's also funny to think that John's actually spent more total time this angsty compared to the time we spent with him (which was only a single day.)
