... That.... that is kinda true actually.

Daniel Kelly

Or, if you want to compare it to a place where HS1 was moving much faster, HS2 is currently a little over half as long as Hivebent, so we've got a good six or seven chapters before that comparison becomes fair. If it feels slower, it's because HS2 is "merely" updating an average of 1 page a day

Daniel Kelly

I don't think that's entirely fair. Homestuck 2 is only a little bit longer than Act 1 of Homestuck 1, and despite being saddled with a larger expository load, has already introduced four new kids, had Jake rejoin Crockercorp as an undercover spy, developed the relationship between John and Harry, set up the new session, and blown up John's house. Act 1 of Homestuck was pretty much just John getting into the game.

action all the time wouldn't be good pacing either. tension is still building even as things are kicking off. the rebellion is now and war is imminent. john's house, THE house, a symbolic representation of homestuck, of everything that they did to make this new world they are in, was burned to the ground. things are happening

lordoffantasy

Least we can say that homstuck 2 has been slightly more productive than that. still there is a charm to that.

lordoffantasy

True but she probably has a totally different class than vriska, and may not be able to tap into it yet.

I remember getting mad at John for just faffing about the house and doing stupid shit with all the cakes.

Madame Hardy

I did the math a couple of weeks ago. If you go by number of pages, HS2 is up to Acts 1-3 of Homestuck, before stuff started to kick off.

I mean, that's just Homestuck.

Honestly at this point my only issue with homestuck^2, more or less, is the pacing. Yall are taking forever to get shit started.

Why ya do this to my boy

jane

every update has at least one typo lately

Spica Naos

https://homestuck2.com/story/344 <- Should be “whose” there.

jane

Vrissy is most likely a light player herself. Her namesake and one of her moms sharing the aspect

lordoffantasy

I can't help but imagine vrissy gets captured here. Vriska doesn't spread luck around after all

Tinokel

Kinda fearing Vriska's gonna do to Vrissy what she did to Tavros, in terms of "grooming". As was done to her by Doc Scratch

Immortal_Knight

lmao yeah fr.

I believe its meant to be more of a "Secret Services" look with the black out glasses, to me the creepy part is that Jane has intentionally shaped her elite agents to kind of look like replications of her, with the shaped hair/batterwitch look. Jane truly has leaped from "Capitalist nightmare woman" to "Straight up making bond villains look reasonable in comparison"
