got to see my favorite band of all time and I genuinely couldn't have asked for a better setlist holy shit
(me on left in second pic my wonderful gf taking picture)
hey guys. started reading Kill 6 Billion Demons. about 2/3 through Book 1 and it's real good so far. i'm especially enjoying (and kind of amazed by) the environmental art and landscape shots. fucking brilliant stuff. what a cool and confusing and clearly so well thought out world. am excited to continue.
just wanted to put that out there π
just finished K6BD book 1. wow!!! what a fucking fascinating world. it's actually a little overwhelming just how much detail is packed into the worldbuilding, especially the very real feeling flowery religious text constantly filled with new words, but so far I find that's part of the charm. It makes the world of the comic feel as strange and alien to the human experience as it truly is. Honestly excited to see where things go now that by the end of book 1, Allison is voluntarily diving back into Throne. She was thrust into all of it so suddenly in book 1 and mostly just reacting to the wild shit going on, just like the reader, so I think it'll be sick having her be more of a proactive figure in what comes next.
just wanna let everyone know im currently about 2/3 through Gideon the Ninth and I want to grab gideon and harrow and shake them by the shoulders and yell JUST KISS ALREADY

hey so
why is everyone just kinda assuming what happened was a retcon? I feel like it could be any other number of temporal & narrative bullshittery but that seems to be the one everyone has decided is real and then gotten mad at what they decided in their head.
personally, after skimming catnapped (which I hadn't read before) I just assumed that story concluded somewhere offscreen and we were going to get the details filled in within the next few updates. I even saw a post saying the writers must've "forgotten" abt catnapped?? and like, no, definitely not, because jasprose *literally* references her interactions with jane and jake in the vrisual novel, and then is shown in this update right next to the panels showing jane and jake on the ship, implying the exact opposite - they intend to bring that side story's importance into the main story.
Now, how did they actually get there? I don't fuckin know! But I'm certainly not going to imagine the most narratively unfulfilling answer and then treat it likes it's real. Maybe some of you also shouldn't?
After sitting with it for some months, I think the biggest stumbling point with the epilogues/hs2/beyond canon is NOT with the content itself, but the structure. I really like The Epilogues. I (somewhat) like HS^2. And I really like Beyond Canon. But I unfortunately think HS^2 stands as this weird middle point between the Epilogues and Beyond Canon where the story isn't sure what it really wants to be, and it makes the experience feel less coherent.
That is to say: the Epilogues were a messy, controversial, meta-obsessed work of prose that comes in, fucks everything up, completely changes the status quo, and leaves the reader in shambles. Beyond Canon, by contrast, is a new beginning, building on top of the scorched earth of the Epilogues and bringing in a quickened pace, a lighter atmosphere, and evocative art, while also actively bouncing off of and challenging the ideas the Epilogues posed. The original Homestuck^2 is... kind of both? And because of that it's kind of neither. Kind of... nothing. Like, it seemed stuck between wanting to be more fun and casual again, and wanting to keep up the oppressive and wordy feeling of the Epilogues.
Ultimately, I think it would have been way better if the sequel comic immediately rushed in with the current energy of Beyond Canon, leaving the Epilogues as a unique part of the story that feels trapped within itsself; something I also think would've felt thematically appropriate. But the sorta non-commital limbo HS^2 now stands as is what really leaves a stain on the experience in my opinion.
I know this is kind of useless to say since what's done is done, but I've just seen so much discourse over this shit that I felt like I wanted to officially throw in my two cents. The Epilogues knew what it was and what it wanted to say. I'm not sure I can say the same about the original HS^2 run.
Luckily, I strongly feel the Beyond Canon team DOES know what they want the story to be, and some of the things they want to say with it, which excites me. I just wanted to put into words this weird feeling I've had since catching up to HSBC.
I've been playing through the DMC series for the first time and recently got to DMC2 and just. holy shit dude. Take me back to the first game. I complained so much about it at the time but I didn't realize how good I had it. take me back.
