Homestuck Webcomic

If anyone can use it, Dirk can. Who was making Cal move tho?

[Brooch]

Dirk was, he's that awesome.

[Not Kuno]

Finally a flash rap battle. I've waited my whole life for this.

[Cantih]

Ok, now I kinda want to see Dave, Dirk, TT, and Karkat locked into a chatlog together.

[Not Kuno]

For those of you not in the know, Hussie is taking a week~ or so break on update. He's working on Book 2, the music contest, and general HS updates (a flash or some buffer, probably).

Anyway, it looks like we won't be going to Intermission 2 anytime soon. I was hoping for that after all the characters were selected. We might have to wait for Jane to enter the game or when everyone enters the game or something.

[Cantih]

Hussie is taking a week~ or so break on update.

And all that means is we only get TWO pages today.
God this man is awesome.

[Draggy]

I actually don't care right now whether we get an intermission or not. I could listen (read.whatever) to Roxy and Dirk forever

[Not Kuno]

And all that means is we only get TWO pages today.
God this man is awesome.

He said he updated on VDay cause it was Valentines, but there is still a break.

[Not Kuno]

OH MY FUCKING GOD

[Cantih]

Spoiler: show

The prince is awake
your shit is wrecked

FUCK
YES

[Not Kuno]

Yeah this is easily... one of my top flashes for homestuck now. It references nearly every major flash so far. Strife (imp), Black, Make Her Pay, Retrieve Package, Dave Strife, Dave Abscond, Rose: Youth Roll out the front door, etc etc etc.

[Tonko]

Freaking amazing. Dirk might be my new favorite (sorry Jade

Question: Why is Feferi's ancestor the black queen?

[Cantih]

Spoiler: show

It' not Terezi's, but Feferi's.

It's mainly mentioned during Doc's ancestor infodump and the whole "Aradia ancestor little asian schoolgirl" series of events.
And here and there during the Alpha kids chapters.

Secrets, no clicky if you still want surprises when he comes out and plainly states it.

Spoiler: show

The Batterwitch they keep mentioning is her, the immortal troll empress ancestor IS BETTY CROCKER. (in the alpha universe)

To answer the question as posed:

Spoiler: show

Remember, there is no Doc in the Alpha universe, this time it's Lord English, and she's working for him. Her as the black queen is him throwing weight around

[Tonko]

Meant Feferi, editored.

Amusing.

[Draggy]

Dat flash. So amazing.

since we are here, what do people think about the dirk/roxy theory going around right now? if you havent read it - here it is

Spoiler: show

get this—

the ar is speaking literally when he says “oceans will rise. cities will fall,” and so is dirk when he describes things as “antediluvian”

because dirk and roxy live in the future

in a dystopian waterworld openly ruled by the condesce

thats why dirk’s apartment is infested with seagulls and the environment outside roxy’s house is “unsuitable for a burial”

thats why they’ve been throwing around alternian terms like “wiggling day” and “pale friend”, which jane and jake don’t understand

thats why they have access to crockercorp appearification tech but the heiress to the company only gets a shitty gristwidget

and why dirk says the sbahj movies “will have profound historical significance,” and asks roxy if she’s “ever peeked in a history book”

it’s what dirk’s alluding to here:

TT: It just registers for me as a reaction which isn’t completely unreasonable from her perspective.
TT: She is inundated with media coverage of those whom we’ve claimed as our parental figures.
TT: That they are not presently alive nor ever played that role for us as she understands it is just an extension of a much more elaborate and far reaching explanation, which is much harder for anyone to digest in its entirety.

( from jane’s perspective, rose and dave are still alive )

— and roxy here:

TG: you forget we live in very different time zones
TG: its a lot later here
GG: You’re three hours ahead of me!
TG: youd would be amazed
TG: how much can happen
TG: in 3 hours

UU says it explicitly:

GG: I’m really hoping Lalonde won’t flake out on me this time. Have you heard from her?
UU: not the today that is local to yoU.

while the narrator jokes about it:

You are now Roxy. What were you up to again? You were floating somewhere in the nonlinear timestew of paradox space, and we were hoping to get a handle on the exact chronology of your situation.

You are now Dirk. What the hell was going on here again? That’s right. You were lodged in the bulbous cleft of paradox space’s huge foam ass, and we were hoping to trouble you for a bit of context. Something to set our watches to, if you’d be so kind.

… the mundane alternative, of course, is that jane and jake have led such sheltered lives that they simply don’t know that the world is ruled by a “cake sellin genocidal alien overlard sea queen”.

but p.s.

a world-sundering flood might be labelled blue fathoms

I mean.. theoretically it makes a lot of sense. But this is Homestuck and Hussie we are talking about

Spoiler: show

Post-scratch earth isn't some sort of water world. The intro to Act 6 shows like 60% of the US (and it looks normal), as well as Dirks area that he lives. Dallas? Or somewhere in Texas.

Actual spoiler:

Pre-scratch vriska? <33333333

[Tonko]

Spoiler: show

I think that's Mindfang

[Draggy]

Pretty sure its her too.

And I am tired of this whole "who loves jake" stuff can we move on now

[Not Kuno]

Good news everybody! It looks like the robot is pulling out his uranium so hopefully shit will start happening.

[Cantih]

I like that it's an Aradia callback.

Hoping for no subseqent robosmooch.
