I have finally read this. The "yiffany suspense" as I call it is blasting though my veins once again. Can't wait to see what happens with her next.

'waits for the next chapter'
horizon + OPHELIA ANADYOMENE
ok upon further consideration my take on this is "hamlet v. ghost dad: strife"
horizon + OPHELIA ANADYOMENE
god damn it i love this so god damn fucking much thank you andrew
Adagio Redshift
Apparently I hit the perfect timing to finish Pesterquest^^. I see Yiffany as something Callie would come up with. Candy-Earth C is kinda her wish fulfillment after all...
PsiVolt
I kind of figured Dirk was more like the self-insert, with the epilogues being a kind of metaphor about what people wanted homestuck to be vs what it really is, but yiffy being a mary sue is a very interesting theory
lordoffantasy
think we can apply in terms of how competent they are at achieving the goals and playing the game.
L0n3 Duo
i meant bc its full of holes or "flaws" in this metaphor but that shit be dank yo
Psylence
Ha, Swiss. The evil cheese.
L0n3 Duo
aren't Jade and Dirk full of more character flaws than Swiss cheese? maybe i don't know what mary sue means
lordoffantasy
theory is that yiffy might be mary sue coded... thing is a lot of characters have these traits, including JAde and Dirk. But it means that she is a threat if she is meant to be used against him and he doesn't have narrative control of that situation.

I LOVED this update, i think i needed this to be comfortable with the last main story update.
L0n3 Duo
that ending got me π why would Yiffy scare Dirk? he's like godtier^2
Maggcat
Somebody really needs to make a Dirk strider account on patreon just so they can rp Dirk in this comment section.
lordoffantasy
maybe she doesn't even do that by the end. we can only presume who is the villain at this point..... and it was dead obvious yiffany was important. because her name and existence is to fucking inane for it to be otherwise XD
lordoffantasy
a lot of people are starting ot realize there are clues there too. Things no one thought added up.

I can't believe Yiffany is going to be important and vital to counter Dirk... I can't wait for Yiffany to kill Dirk somehow.
faunafennec
i cant wait for yiffany to wreck dirks shit
nickadial
woah .... . woa h
Dante Crossing
Yeah cause I went back through the epilouge (again) and there are several references to the possible existence of Yiffy or sealed holes prior to how things would happen down the line.
Erin Claire
I'm guessing that this means Yiffy is textually as much a product of Hussie's influence as she is IRL (since she's one of the few aspects of his HS^2 outline he declared non-negotiable), and if that is correct then...fucking cool. This whole update was so ominous like goddamn.
CYR
This update really clarified some things for me regarding Dirk's awareness/influence in Candy.
CYR
I'm love it
Incomprehensible Mituna
im weezing hes scared of yiffy
StepperOfTheLongEarth
Wahahaha! AH still around just in retirement, fahaha! idk why but that was the funniest thing to me! Also "Miss Paint Boarding School for Inconvenient Girls," is it sad to know that there quite a few people that fall under that category?
William L Coleman
We needed this
NeoPhantom
As for the writers, good job!
NeoPhantom
Well... if Dirk reads this, he can know that I am finding Candy hella more interesting than Meat. Good old drama beats megalomaniac fake odyssey any day.
Artamsk
Ok, I laughed the entire time this was a fantastic bonus

I was thinking it was because it's the last day of the month before the automatic payment happens? Dunno if that's a possibility.
