Homesuck: Vriska Rising - Page 641

Yeah, it's just trolling the readers. Should be used to it by now after other SB&HJ moments, and, er, the whole of 8BT. If you can possibly throw in an anticlimax, do so!

As for foreshadowing stuff, I think Hussie said he just makes up random stuff in SB&HJ and retroactively ties Homestuck into it. Like the LIFDOFF thingy.

Act's going to end at 4/13, I guess.

It's both. >_<
Edit: Normally i wake up to get a good laugh or 2 before i have to go but then i wake up to this crap.

Wacky stupid bullshit? In my DROP DEAD SERIOUS MSPA?

Also, considering SBHJ's initial run, I can't blame him for trying to milk it for all it's worth.

Oh wait yes I can I'm on the internet.

Um. No, this is nothing like 8BT. Brian's teasing did not completely interrupt the narrative of the story*. Brian's teasing did not happen with the appalling frequency of what Hussie's doing, and did not happen with nearly the degree of critically terrible timing. Brian's teasing did not repeatedly come across as "Welp, I can't think of a way to go to the next scene, NONSEQUITOR TRANSITION TIME."

* The difference is that MSPA is story-driven first and foremost, with humorous elements second. 8BT is a rapidfire gag comedy with a narrative following behind it. When we cut to, say, 434, or the "Now Shut Up" page, the narrative was briefly interrupted so that the author could say something to his readers, but the flow of the jokes remained intact.

There are times like these when I wonder whether or not Hussie does his updates drunk. Or maybe he always does them drunk but was accidentally sober for a while which caused him to make SBaHJ updates.

I'd dispute that the story-driven factor is first with humour second, but meh. Doesn't change the fact I'm being a moron.

Or maybe Hussie just needs a time out? I mean, he's been pumping out page after page after page along with animations. That's a lot of work. (Insert counterargument of this being his job etc etc) I mean, the last time he did something like this was two months ago (unless I'm mistaken), and considering he updates several pages almost every day, it's not like it's a constant thing. I'd rather see him do stupid stuff like that instead of getting burnt out and taking a prolonged break.

I'm pretty sure we all know by now that the author is probably Lord English.

Really, I just consider the nature of this interlude further evidence of the possibility that (Felt Suit?) Dave is Lord English. SBAHJ is the exact vehicle in which any version of Dave would wish to break the fourth wall and speak to us.

As much as I disagree with everything else everyone's saying, this line is particularly ridiculous. Hussie's transitions are usually "You are now _____" They aren't exactly hard to do or setup.
