I feel like Double-Ring Dog is going to be the true final boss.

I gotta ask because I forgot: which is the "latest" (as in, further in his own personal timeline) version of LE? Union Jack or... well... Hulk!Lord English?

I think that concept of "latest" is rather difficult to pin down in Homestuck which is choke-full of "self-fulfilling clusterfuck", especially considering that you're talking about a fucking Lord of Time who enters universes by creating a stable time loop.

I do, however, wonder, why does LE seems to be regressing in smartness the further we go. He was pretty smart at the beginning, but after that, it seems that he permanently switched to "smash mode". For some reason.

Also, what happened to LE's Cairo Overcoat at the beginning of their fight? It looked like it has just gone away, but that can't be?

Also, about that unresolved plot point from before: I remember some mute clown stealing Vriska's overcoat in a nefarious-looking flash animation. I think that's still unresolved?

Also, there's only about 40 pages of Homestuck left in Act 7. I'm having a hard time to believe that even Hussie could resolve all of the remaining plot points (and there are QUITE A LOT OF THEM) within such small space.

I am reasonably sure that LE is the smartest instance of Caliborn that we see. Notice how he consistently uses the most effective combat option for the challenge presented him and mostly gets caught off-guard.
Remember that he's part autoresponder.

He sent it off so that it can't burden him, I'd guess. Not sure why it can't be.

It was used to make the Cairo Overcoat. Look at the design.

40 pages... and ~12 minutes of flash.

[Solifuge]

Actually, I read him ditching the coat and weapon during the fight as a pretty obviously suboptimal/dumb move. After the first wave (maybe even as a result of Karkat's absolutely failed charge), he decided it was too easy, and wanted to show off; ditched all his overpowered gear, fighting them Bare Handed/Chested.

Remember, Calliborn is all about proving how dominant he is at Videogames. He's the patron saint of Tryhards. The Ubergamer.


Just adding... really admired how Jade tried to use Courageous Non-Violence to end the dogfight. Even if it didn't work out that way. Good thinking, and a nice break of pace from all that fightin'.

We still Act 6. 40 pages left of that, and then all of Act 7 (of undisclosed length) on 4/13. At least according to the current news post.

No we ain't.

[Sergarr]

I do wonder what does the day/night clock machine literally freezing in time (while turning the background all hope-y), at the end of the flash animation means. Does it mean that Caliborn has activated the Weapon, or what? Can we expect the next update to start off with Caliborn's declaring how he just "trounced these noobs"?

END OF ACT 6

I think when it says "end of act 6", it usually means that the act 6 has ended.

[Liber celi]

INTERMISSION 3  when?

[Leafsnail]

Yeah the 40 pages between now and 4/13 are presumably intermission 3.

[Bauglir]

Yeah, sorry, I forgot those were things. We Intermission now, but we still have no clue how long Act 7 is, is my point.

[Leafsnail]

Incidentally "Union Jack" isn't really the same haracter as the Lord English, but we may have discovered his purpose in Collide.  The objects he sucked up after his death (Gamzee, the crowbar, the pool cue, the boss monster) end up appearing in Caliborn's session.

[Arcvasti]

Spoiler: More things I noticed about Collide (click to show/hide)

- Dave's final blow cuts right freaking through the Unbreakable Katana. DAMN.
- PM punches Jack instead of killing him when she had the chance. Jade kinda succeeded there. Not really sure what her motivations are. In GAME OVER, her and Jack had degenerated into being basically animals, but this doesn't seem to be the case here.
- Roxy doesn't pull out HER Katana until she knows she has a clear shot, instead just punching or using Voidy powers. Sneaky tricksy Rogue.
- Apparently fuchsia bloods are a lot less robust then other highbloods, since )(IC goes down to one well-placed stab, kinda like Feferi.
- Viceroy Bubbles Von Salamancer did all the real work against the Felt. Jake died once and then got punched around a lot.
- We got shown a big shot of the circle of broken Furthest Ring around the Green Sun. Clearly its important, since that hasn't come up in a while.
- Davepetasprite^2 has MAD dodging skills in SOUL mode.
EDIT: Wait, Nepeta was Rogue of Heart, right? So stealing Undertale's SOUL system would totally be within her purrview. Huh.

if i'm being honest with myself, I don't think i ever really hated homestuck at any point. Sure, i got tired of the humour after 3+ years of it, but homestuck was (God this is weird to type) probably one of the formative works of my youth. A lot of my sense of humour when I first went into high school was influenced by homestuck, abnormally so for a comic that noone else i knew irl read. And honestly rereading this herculean thing is reminding me a lot of why I thought it was so damn funny in the first place.

Of course the main thing i'm wondering is if when I go to cons during the summer/autumn that there will be as many homestuck cosplayers as there were during the height of its popularity during the run of A5A2. which is to say, I really really want a quarter to half of the cosplayers to be from homestuck just so all my friends get confused as hell. Then my life will be complete.

[Putnam]

no

there will be some, but it will be reasonable amounts
