Everyone kept saying it was a suicide mission, so I just kind of assumed they died and showed up in dream bubble land.


It was and they did, but those quest slabs or whatever they are let them come back as God Tiers, like Aradia did in [S] Wake.

Same thing that happened when Jack did.


...I'm actually having trouble remembering exactly what happened when he put it on. I know he became basically godlike after Bec was whatchamacallit'd (I'm tired), but I don't recall how much of a boost he got after putting on the ring. I'm guessing there was probably a [s] to go along with it, though.

Just a bit, yeah.

EDIT: Yeah but the rings and scepters hold all of the royalty's power, which they get from whatever has been prototyped. So it gave her the same powers Jack has.

So how does one convince a friend to read through homestuck?

He's having trouble reading through act 1 because it's, well act 1.

I'm tempted to throw cascade at him, tell him to watch it once, try not to make sense of it( Cause he obviously wont be able to), and see if that sparks his interest enough to read through to get to that point.

Jack is just GREAT.

Unfortunately it only keeps his attention until he dies, which is almost instantly.

You need to come up with a better plan. While you would argue that random stabbings are their own reward, they aren't getting you any closer to escape.

Alternatively, bribes?

I'm not sure what else to tell him besides stressing it gets way better and is worth it.

If you are going to throw a flash at someone, don't do Cascade of all things. A lot of it's awesomeness relies on a familiarity with the plot.

The only flash I'd say you could 'throw at someone' is [S] Dave: Accelerate. Cascade would be a terrible one.

But even then, there's really not much you can do other than stress it gets better.

6, but 5 and 6 are split into a couple sub acts and there's a few intermissions. Also they get progressively longer (to the point that Act 5 is about the same length as 1-4 combined).

There will be 7 Acts total (though apparently 7 will just be an epilogue of sorts, according to Hussie, so we're kind of in the setup to the home stretch right now).

5 complete, 6 ongoing. Plus an intermission. Multiple intermissions inside Act 6. Don't skip the Intermission BTW.

4 is about as long as 1-3 together, 5 is as long as 1-4 together. 6 was supposed to be about as long as 4 but that doesn't look like it's gonna happen, seemed like it may end up as long as 5 at this point.

A lot of stuff starts happening in 3, tons of **** in 4, and 5 is just ffffffffffffffffffff-

I dunno about that. When Hussie uploaded cascade to newgrounds I was looking through the comments and a ton of people who never read homestuck said they loved it and started reading it cause of the flash.

It's genuinely a pretty cool trip in itself.

Of course you are pretty far at this point. If you go straight to Serenity's page it shouldn't be a big deal. There's a few messages at the bottom you might not have seen yet.

UU is definitely in the bottom tier as far as trolls are concerned. Not quite the worst, but she was for a while in my mind. And that was only because she was dethroned.

Anyways, are you at the first conversation with her and Dirk? This is when she starts becoming not as terrible and actually shows a semblance of personality.

I don't know why everyone dislikes UU. I think UU is great. I imagine as she gets more screentime she'll jump up in the troll rankings significantly, but I already like her more than Feferi, Sollux, Eridan, and maybe even Vriska. UU's conversations tend to be pretty enlightening and I like her gimmick of being, like, the "Homestuck fanbase" troll where she draws ridiculous fanart of all the characters.

She's just not very interesting. The mystery surrounding her is, but as a character, her personality and dialogue is mostly pretty boring. At least Feferi had fish puns; UU was just a wall of exposition until that conversation with Dirk. Regardless of what she was talking about, she herself was boring.

And yeah, she hasn't gotten a lot of screentime but I wouldn't call what we have seen "great."

also not to start the whole troll ranking thing again
but Vriska in the bottom five, what

Also also how the hell are the Aggressors getting to Earth? And now that I think of it, they're probably responsible for Jane's assassination attempts which should've been rather obvious I guess.

Also also also Dream Jane's not dead, yay.

Also also also also I totally approve of shipping Dirk x Jake.

[S] Jane: Enter sure was... uh... something. I'm guessing this is somehow related to that troll queen or whatever that conquered world after world. In fact, now that I think of it, the woman Jack Noir is working for looked kind of like her I think. Not entirely sure how that could make sense, but okay. I guess if female Eridan can accost Roxy, then tyrannical leader trolls can take over Earth via Betty Crocker branding.

Betty Crocker is Feferi's ancestor, and she looks like the black queen cause she usurped the black queens throne and took the ring.

I really don't pay much attention to their symbols or remember which one goes to which trolls. She looked more like Eridan to me, so that's what I went with. Also I gave it very little thought in general.

Works for me. I'm sure you guys all worked out the history on the trolls' ancestors long ago, but in an effort to actually get caught up, I didn't think too much about them. In fact, I thought the Handmaid was actually Aradia until I saw they were two separate people in the Best Homestuck Character contest. I figured that's how Aradia knew so much about the game. That Scratch had been using her to get all the trolls to play the game.

Wait, did you skip all of Scratch's stuff about the ancestors, then? Most of it probably isn't...that important, but that's where it talked about the Handmaid and the Condesce's roles, and foreshadowed the Scratch and some things that might happen with Karkat later. I think it was stated that the Handmaid acted on Alternia while the Condesce worked for Lord English on Earth, but I'm not sure.

Also Aradia knew so much because she was constantly being haunted by a bunch of ghosts that were telling her what to do, which later turned out to be her d00med alternate future versions of herself who had played the game and died.

Dirk and Roxy being 400 years in the future explains many things. How they seem to have so much more technology (well, the lab excluded, since that was always there I guess), Roxy's and Dirk's hatred of Betty Crocker, and all those guys chasing Roxy in the lab.

Also, I'm a little disappointed they couldn't have had a better troll survive to the end instead of Kanaya. Like UU, she's also really boring compared to everyone else. Come to think of it, why is she a vampire again? I don't remember that ever being explained, but instead it just... happened.
