And then I was sad...

I tried to cheer up my friend like last week when she got stabbed by saying "don't worry, Hussie always puts 'DEAD' when someone dies!"

...I guess I was right <_<;;

*sobs*

it's okay

Gamzee is still alive

she still had to go on a d8 with John! waaaaaa!

I know...8ut he's gonna kill everybody else

or they're gonna kill him

maybe she'll show up in a dream... bubble... thing...

and then I'm STILL gonna be sad!

honestly, I didn't get that part of the story AT ALL >_>;

so much of homestuck flies so far over my head ._.

it's so complicated ted

does that make you bill? and we are having an excellent adventure?

He put DEAD for Kanaya too~

so idk!

YEAH SOMEONE POINTED THAT OUT

but I feel like that was a special circumstance that was somewhat clumsily foreshadowed?

chya, obv. But idk, having the clock interrupted that way may leave room for Scratch to fix it or something? idk

I thought about that. On the other hand, I think the interplay of Vriska's message to John and the other things

lend themselves well to a permanent death.

Yeeaaah OR JUST A SOLID HUSSIE-ING

NOT THAT I WANT THAT TO BE THE CASE NO SIRREE BOB

Well, I think of it this way

I think she's dead and will probably stay dead, but if she comes back I wouldn't be surprised at all?

That's an odd way to put it

No, it makes sense.

I mean, I think Hussie has demonstrated that he loves writing her.

So he may decide to bring her back

Or not IDK

Also I'm kind of worn out on the whole ohnooo it's someone fighting Bec Noir

thing

Which is why he's shoved it into the banner I guess

Right now I'm kind of upset that he threw us a freaking T. rex femur followed by a swift kick to the balls.

and by us I mean John/Vriska shippers

It feels like he wants to get through a lot but in a short amount of time

If he gets that kind of emotional response then he's doing his job

they did say Act 5 was ending soon but... that was like a month ago?

I remember hearing somewhere that Act 5 was going to be twice as long as Problem Sleuth

and that we'd only just reached the length of PS back in mid March

DERP

Assuming Act 5 ends with the scratch and whatever, they've got a lot of plot to go through, but idk about THAT much

Yeah, idk

I'm not really getting a sense of impending MAJOR PLOT POINT right now though

But then I'm of the opinion that the plot hadn't really gone anywhere in about three months so IDK

That's the trouble when you plan a tad too far ahead sometimes?

You spend your time filling in the required ingredients for the future... uhh I'm sure there's an easier way to say that

But yeah, it makes it harder to do critical plot points in between.

There hasn't been a game changer, really, outside of idk, Rose going GrimDark

and that lasted a few weeks so whatever

Yeah.

whatever; for all it's flaws, I still rank HS as one of the best webcomics on the net

oh of course

it's easy to highlight the flaws of something you expect the best of

Also all the "ohshit it's the killer" moments? Blah

Gamzee just doesn't feel like a threat after HorrorStuck

Definitely.

Actually I just noticed... the clock flicks towards to Just before Slick crowbars it anyway... so... ;A;

hinting it would have anyway?

Maybe

Or maybe Slick just had good timing?

or bad timing

Good timing mayhaps

I'd like to think she could somehow be redeemed through some action that's already in motion. Fix the clock, starts again, diff result

Also "Egregious Womanizing" is a wonderful phrase that I must use more often

Also I never read horrorstuck

should I do that?

YOU WHAT

THAT WAS THE BEST PART OF HOMESTUCK

For me at least.

I'll take that as a yes

And get right on that yessir that I shall

Storytelling was pitch perfect for the majority of it. if you look at the results, it can be easily summarized, but the experience!!!

It's really about the journey, not the destination ;A;

man, I love good atmospheric stories

I'll have to really dig in when I have some time
