Homesuck: Vriska Rising

[Art of Hilt]

I actually don't mind that. It shows he wasn't corrupted or anything like that, he's just a regular jerk who awakened his powers and immediately used them on his friends instead of his enemies like he should.

Also, it looks like the class pairs have matching genders too.
So time to mix everything up again.
-Thief|Rogue+ as a pair is female-bias; -Prince|Bard+ as a pair is male-exclusive.
So two of Seer, Sylph, Maid and Witch are paired as female bias or exclusive. And two of Mage, Heir, Knight and Page are paired as male bias or exclusive. That what it seems like to me.

Dirk's cool and all, but still

I'm actually with Snake on this. It's not bad and I'm certainly finding the entertaining bits entertaining, but I'm finding Roxy to be the only outright hilarious character of the new bunch, and even she's not on the same level as the original kids.

Also Hussie needs to knock the "view the same conversation from the perspective of the other party" stuff the fuck out already. The worst one was when he even reused the same image.

Because that would mean that Eridan did something right.

I guess it's good to have confirmed that the titles basically have like no connection to what they actually mean.

Or no I'm sorry I mean a super-deep non-literal unshallow ultra-clever connection to what they mean that just happens to be literally in no way distinguishable from having nothing to do with what they actually mean.

I mean except for all of the other titles which pretty much are what they mean.

MERRY go round and round and round and

Dirky Sue is really unavoidably not as radcoolically awesomeacular and interetastic as Hussie so palpably, viscerably wants him to be.

I like him a heck of a lot more than Vriska Sue, though.

Also: Man I remember way back in the Act 5 days, when Hussie was like "Well Act 5 is really hella long but Act 6 will be much shorter and basically just post-climax wrapping shit up, and then Act 7 will just be a few flashes." You know, back when the EOA flash rocked the hizzy and then I assumed we'd just have a few more months of tidying up to do as the kids wandered around their new universe or something.

Man those were the days.
Now I'm more convinced than ever that Homestuck will just like never end.
We'll reach the EOA Act Six flash and then Andrew will be like "Sorry guys, I decided Act Seven will actually contain serious amounts of content, it won't just be a few flashes!"
...And then EOA Act Six will result in the Alpha Kids and the old-school crew all collectively escaping the clutches of the Evil Empress by...escaping that universe and restarting the session
At which point we'll meet the new Alpha kids, which will be Rose and Dave and Jade and John in college at age 19.

Then the fourth edition of Alpha 'kids' will be Dirk, Jake, Jane and Roxy as adult corporate shills in their mid-twenties.
And then after that the NEXT reboot will be so powerful that it impacts the universe of the trolls' session, leading to Ancestor shenanigans.
Will kiddie Sufferer return kiddie Disciple's unrequited affections?!?!?

This is quite possibly the best thing that could happen to Homestuck.

e- but yeah Act 6 is totally never going to end.

I'm okay with authors extending their popular work. Look how much extra One Piece we've gotten and are getting because of that.

Shame on snake for wanting a boring homestuck.

It's worked so well for Bleach
And The Office (USA)
(And every single other television show out there that's long outstayed its welcome)

You see the problem is, great stuff is great, but too much of it in any way, shape or form will eventually dilute the crap out of the quality.
I'd much rather the story stuck to its original plan -- whatever the original plan was (my guess is originally the narrative in Act Six would follow the kids into the new universe, where they'd just meet the Guardian Alpha Kids mid-session, and maybe we'd learn bits and pieces in a few flashbacks.)

Well let's hope it's a One Piece. Given, you already seem to think it's past that point but I'm enjoying Act 6. It's reminding me of Act 1/2 but as if you already read Act 5.
