What, you've never heard of the Statue of JPEG Artifacts?That planet has Dave written all over it.

[Casus Belli]

At first, I thought that it was somehow Post-Scratch Earth, but then I saw the JPEG-Artifact-ified Statues of Liberty, and I was like, "Wait...".The Cherubim are a pretty curious subject. However, they'll probably add the list of things to expect, though. They're a nice change from video games that cause the apocalypse, teenage demigods, alien bee people, outlandish self-inserts, Cue ball headed creepers, and skull headed Hulks in suspenders (maybe not the last part) for now, though.

[dotcom]

Relevant. I don't get why people call them cherubim. I mean yeah, it's one the plural forms, but the narrative refers to them only as "cherubs." Is it just because the wiki calls them cherubim?

[Casus Belli]

I don't know. It's what other people do.Darn, that mentality was what got Dodos extinct.Anyway, it peeves me about how people speculate about how uu will grow up to be LE, or something to that effect. I mean, is it really that hard to remember that Doc Scratch was created in the post-scratch Troll session by the session's Black Queen as a combination of Lil' Cal, Omniscient Cue Ball (or whatever that thing was called) and the "tick tock break heads" code, right? Now, it's certainly possible the cherubim/cherubs have something to do with LE, but the fact of uu being LE is more unlikely than not.

[HeavyMetalSunshineSister]

The mentality that got Dodos extinct was "This bird - I like it. Another!"(aka, they were too delicious for their own good)I agree that uu probably isn't LE, but the obvious facial similarities raise the question of how many of their species there are, and also whether LE happens to have someone else sharing his creepy body.

[BenLuke]

My personal theory is that the cherubs come from the universe created by the post-scratch Kid's session, hence why there's that green book thing with the stuffy happening with the rest of caste there.I'm probably missing something important that makes this really unlikely, but blah.

You are. The post-scratch kid's session the "void" variant of the "doomed" type of session. It will be easier for the Heroes,who are now "tragic Nobles" (as per the wiki) since one (or possibly more) kernelsprite(s) was not prototyped prior to the player(s)'s entry into the game, but because of that, the Battlefield will not be able to prototype to its final stage, thus making the session worthy of it's "void"/"doomed" name. As a result of the pseudo-prototyped battlefield, a universe will not be formed.

I'm afraid you're wrong. In a Void session there are no pre-entry prototypings whatsoever. A normal Void session would yield no results, as the Battlefield would be left in its first stage.This is not a normal Void session.The pre-scratch Kids' planets are being added to this session, including the 4xprototyped Battlefield. B2 CD already blew up the session's Battlefield, so the pre-scratch version can take its place. The goal here is making a new universe. Also, about uu/LE: English is not Scratch. English was summoned at the end of A2 and he burst out of Scratch. The Doc was made with Cal and the cue ball. English was not. We plain don't know what the deal is with Lord English. I can't see any reason why we'd be introduced to the cherubs unless it's Lord English's origin story.

[BenLuke]

Obviously, Lord English is actually the Aimless Renegade and everything that's happened so far is just part of his evil plan. :PNot.

X2 misconception combo?Actually, Doc Scratch was not only created from Cal and the cue ball. His genetic code was derived from the Team Charge's "t1CK t0ck" code, Team Scurge's "8r8k H34DS" code, and the "honk HONK" code from the ~ATH book code, also.

[dotcom]

The t1ck t0ck 8r8k H34DS honk HONK code is just the A2 version of the First Guardian code. Scratch's body was Cal+Cue ball, infused with FG powers, much like Bec was Halley with the A1 code (MEOW) and G-Cat is some cat with the B2 code (BARK).Unless that's what you're saying? In which case..yes.

So, it looks like Hussie gave us an extra Flash.Some pretty good examples of the trademark bizarre cause-and-effect mixing; you could almost use this update as an entry-level primer in how convoluted time gets in Homestuck.~ BioGio

[Makaru]

I knew all of these things were going to happen. It was pretty obvious.I still have no idea what is going on.

Nah, it was pretty standard "travel to the past to create the conditions that led you to travel to the past" stuff, mostly.Not that it isn't still confusing, it's just equally confusing as the rest of the comic.

[HeavyMetalSunshineSister]

You knowDirk isperhapsMore troll-ish than any actual trolls that have appeared thus far. I mean, the double-team mind-screw shenanigans that just unfolded... wow. If he weren't so cool, and thus voluntarily limited in facial expressions, I would expect an obscenely lopsided smirk to appear on his face.

I chose to read "lopsided smirk" like this. Edited July 9, 2012 by Makaru

[HeavyMetalSunshineSister]

I suppose that is the expression he would be making if facial expressions were his thing.

[dotcom]

Just now managed to see the flashes...wow. I tip my hat to Hussie. Darn Jake-beheading red herrings.Shame about the lack of Cottoncandy.

[BioGio]

So...How about that EOA6A3? Any theories about why

Caliborn's Kernel turned into a black hole (or whatever you'd call the shape from the art on Calliope's wall)? My idea's that it's because it had to function as both Calliope's and Caliborn's, but this may have all been part of Caliborn's intentions to MESS THINGS uP.Speaking of whom, that's some name. Talk about an obvious connection to Lord English. So, is it a red herring? Or is all the talk about red herrings that surrounds Caliborn a red herring in itself? Is the concept of a red herring a red herring? Are red herrings--I'll just stop here and save you all from a pathetic joke

Lord English killed the dead people. He killed them dead.

;_;

[Casus Belli]

Whatexactlydid I just watch?

Well, there goes Caliborn (or whatever uu's name is) ironically not being LE.

 

Edit: You know, LE landed on the Time quest bed (since as you know, Caliborn/uu is all but confirmed as LE) suspiciously before shoop-da-whooping the living daylights out of the dream bubble and everyone in it. Is there the possiblility that he had Gotten the Tiger after the dream bubble blew up with him in it?/stupid

~ BioGio

It was two Kernelsprites -- both Calliope's and Caliborn's -- prototyping each other. Since that is a paradox, almost like dividing my zero, the Kernelsprites collapsed in and formed a black hole.As for the name Caliborn, it's from an archaic form of Excalibur. Excalibur reference to Dave, connecting Caliborn to Time. ouo

[Makaru]

I think at this point it's just easier to list the things that aren't connected through a myriad of overarching coincidences.Which is to say none of the things.

[BioGio]

Is anybody else having difficulty loading the latest page?

[Xomeron]

This latest update...ALL OF MY YES. ALL OF MY YES.

[dotcom]

Interesting developments happening videogame-wise.So excited for this thing..to come out...in two years? Good enough.Also, I wonder when HS will actually end, seeing as how it looks like it'll apparently definitely end next year. I can see Act 6 wrapping up in 4/13/13. Maybe the whole thing will end in 6/12/13? That sounds like an okay plan.

45 HOURS.45 HOURS, 700,000 DOLLARSThe Homestuck fandom. I's proud of you

[dotcom]

It was actually only 32 hours. Oh Homestuck fandom, you so crazy.Honestly not sure if pride or terror is what one should be feeling.Also someone tried to do the 10K pledge to canonize a fantroll, like, three times. Scary stuff. ._.

[Catra]

Also someone tried to do the 10K pledge to canonize a fantroll, like, three times. Scary stuff. ._.

i think they mightve just had second thoughts or something. 10k is a lot to pledge for something as superficial as making a fan character canon in a webcomic (even if said comic is rapidly gaining recognition outside the internet), especially since that was the only thing different between that and the $405 pledge. tbh i really dont think hussie actually expected people to spring for the 5k or 10k and i definitely dont think he expects people to go for the god tier onesanyway i am super proud of the fandom right now like gosh so much passion it makes me glad to be a part of it aaaaaaaaedit: apparently someone trying to pledge 10k but backing out earlier wasnt actually a thing that happened? but its on the site now, someone is legit pledging 10k Edited September 6, 2012 by Mentos Strawberry

[Makaru]

Didn't Hussie already make all fantrolls canon, yes, even the [terrible] ones?

[Gamzee Makara]

Didn't Hussie already make all fantrolls canon, yes, even the [terrible] ones?

Hussie's actual response to basically the exact same question:

yes but they didn't appear in the story.

So obviously there should be a vast increase in motivation here.That aside, I am absolutely enthralled by and ecstatic over this move, and I absolutely can't wait for its release.Just kidding, I actually can, because I'm not actually looking forward to Homestuck's conclusion. D:I'm sure it will be brilliant nonetheless.I just wish I could have snagged myself a nice scalemate plushie before they ran out of that particular rewards pack. :c

[Hanako Herupa]

So I just found a video that posed the question "Is Homestuck the Ulysses of the Internet?"Which by the way is the name of the video. Anyways the guy basically explains why people enjoy all the things that drive you insane (initially). It's an interesting watch to say the least.I'm not exactly up to date on all that's going on, but this game looks great and the speed at which people funded, it's ridiculous. I mean it's great and all, but that was really fast.

Uh ohhh, I replaced your "a" with a "b" because saying butts on BZP is actually okay :D

[NX09]

Some people thought it was an actual SBURB, but really that's just not noooo, but I thought some one had made a little game or something (or perhaps just a giant social experiment conducted by Andrew Hussie), but it was just a little prank and was absolutely nothing.It was still fun though!

[BioGio]

Update! (one of the first ones I've caught shortly after it happened, actually)Seriously, this is probably the most important revelation in all of Homestuck.~ BioGio
