Homesuck: Vriska Rising

[Revising Ocelot]

Maybe if he hadn't done this kind of update about 7 or 8 times over the course of the comic, where he proclaims it's the greatest thing ever and to bow before him. I get that the intention is your post, but to me it's coming across as old tired donkey.

Also, the pattern of a few weeks of updates followed by a few MONTHS of nothing is also old, considering he's about to do it again for yet another time. Never mind before and during the first "megapause", the one for a whole year, he was saying he'd finish the whole comic in one go after the pause. Yeah yeah Kickstarter publishers taking the money and running, but he shouldn't have done the KS so far in advance of the comics end when he knew he would need to pause for A WHOLE YEAR. The end result is not really different than the average schedule-slipping enthusiast who starts procrastinating, even if Hussie has probably not procrastinated at all in the duration of the comic. Stretched thin, instead. I liken it to Telltale Games with TftB, pushed back and back while Game of Thrones and all those other things start to get developed.

They have a hummingbird now. They cannot lose.

Aw man.

That is some pure heartwarming movie magic that just went on.

[Arcanum]

Wow. It's happening. It's actually happening. New updates, and an end in sight. I'm having a hard time believing this is real, and waiting for the "april fools, there's another gigapause coming!" announcement.

Here's the quote from the MSPA front page news blog thing:

EOA6 - 99%

Here is the plan. Starting today, there will be 6 days of updates (about 125 total pages). Then a brief pause. Then on 4/6, I'll post the END OF ACT 6 animation.

That should immediately be followed by 7 days of updates (about 40 total pages), ending with an update on 4/13, the 7th anniversary of Homestuck. That update will contain ACT 7 in its entirety.

The current 125 page stretch was drawn by a few guest artists. Gina Chacon, Mallory Dyer, and Adrienne Garcia (all artists for WP). The panels they did are very good, and I think make for a nice runway leading up to the final animations. Of course there are a lot of other great contributing artists to all that content as well. Thanks for the patience during the Omegapause. I hope you enjoy the conclusion to Homestuck.

I've honestly forgotten half of what's happened. I forgot all about the katana, I couldn't remember if Regular Callie or Alternate... Past.. Future... Whatever Callie is with Jade, and I don't remember Spades Slick having a cyborg eye or why Jack is not a dog-man. Is that a different Jack? Is Post Maiden or whatver her name was still alive? I'm so confused.

[Arcanum]

Going off my memory which remembers the dumbest things:

The katana belonged to bro, Roxy got a hold of it, used it as a gravestone for dirk or bro or maybe just everyone who died in general before John retconned everything? Stuff happened now she's got it back. It's just a regular sword, albeit a really really good sword.

The Callie with Jade is the one from another time who beat her brother (forget his name, guy who becomes Lord English). But since she wasn't from the alpha timeline, she was doomed to die, and Jade is talking to her ghost. I don't think we know what she's planning.

Spades Slick (Jack from the Troll session) broke into Scratch's (was that his name? Cue-ball head guy who was LE's precursor) apartment right before LE emerged. LE shot him up a bunch, Slick escaped through the fourth wall, and Hussie nursed him back to health and gave him cyborg enhancements. Stuff happened and he got LE's cane somehow? Now he's here and I forget how.

The crazy LE-Energy-Jack with the crowbar is the Jack from this current session, who got powered up with LE's magic somehow. I think it involved Lil Cal? I don't remember.

Dog-bird-Jack and the Dog-bird-Post Maiden are still alive and on their way to the current session as well. The note tied to Jade's finger in one of the new updates is referencing them. Jade's obviously the best one to deal with them since they are part Bec and will instantly love Jade and want to protect/obey her.

Oooooh hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo! This is gonna be so very epic! The expressions and poses look really...funky, and I'm loving it!

I think the fight I'm looking forward to the most is Jake vs the Felt. I like the Felt.

Its also a great surprise that we get to see Caliborn face off with his worm god thing, Yasobadeth (or whatever), and the Spades Slick vs Jack English is a surprise too.

so. Friggin. Excited.

Flash is up. 18 minutes long geez. Intense fights to be sure though.

Hahaha after all that buildup, Vriska ended up not accomplishing much herself.
...I approve, Andrew. That was fun.

You seem to be asserting that there was a lot of Vriska-only build up, but after the part where she was making the plans, her focus is pretty equal with everyone else's, and she didn't even get any speaking lines in the recent updates leading up to Collide. So, yeah, I don't know what youre on about, Snake.


Anyways, those were all some very incredible fights, and very much fitting to the series as a whole.



Am I the only one who was surprised at the sudden Undertale reference?
