So a while back I got two blogs recommended to me on my dash, one of which was velreadshomestuck which had already made it to Homosuck, and the other of which was ragmarketguttersnipe which I looked at purely on a whim, not sure it would actually be a Homestuck liveblog. That was a couple months ago, on the heels of several lengthy breaks, and she (I'm guessing it's a she) only recently resumed liveblogging for the first time since something like late October, so it may already be dying, but let's look at what we can while we can and while it's relevant. Little does John know that an artifact of such masterful brosmanship can only be destroyed by the most infirm of sick fires in which it was forged. Great, are we getting another secret Strider? YOU DONT UND3RST4ND JOHN, TH3Y W3R3 TH3 B3ST, MOST D3L1C1OUS COLOR I guess we have a new Elf on our hands. Ah, another liveblogger that thinks of weaponizing sylladexes before it happens. *WONK* And you, or at least the characters, will meet them soon enough. Specifically, towards a certain spot in the Pacific. And yet they have a weird relevance to them as well. IT BEGINS This is referring to the marionette in the shower, not Cal.

Minda and Elf now, Blue and Duck later. To the question of who Minda thinks will wear the Ring of Life: If it’s up to John, then Aranea. Aradia scares him (and she’s already alive in the first place). Vriska doesn’t want it. Meenah keeps trying to kill him. Everybody else left, so that pretty much leaves Aranea. *WONK* *WONK* x2 combob So that's what that amounted to! Lord English will have alchemized the Cairo Overcoat from Vriska's coat! Um... well... Oh wait. The four dots. Agh. I mean, aside from being equally spaced in a way that would make them endlessly annoying to wear, they… they may signify the four fingers. Homestuckians have four-fingered hands. I’m not sure if I’ve noticed this before. Elf, having something in common with Caliborn is not something you want. Except she already is, in the future, and she's saying this about someone who's actually the White King.

I'm like, within a line of being able to make an all-Blue post (which is not a post that would be entirely colored blue nor one composed entirely of links), so this post has Duck and stuff that happened on other blogs since my last post. Congrats, Rose. By deciding for yourself that you’re gonna get dead, you’ve singlehandedly sealed your fate to survive. So…. “who’s going to take her place,” is the real question. Oh, no one will, but both she and the one who wants to take her place will survive, even though the suicide mission will be a complete success, though not at what she thought it would accomplish. Wrong troll to use that phrase in relation to, certainly with Kanaya involved! Oh, he's just going to insist that he's using SCIENCE, not magic. I think Duck may have already been a Rosemary shipper, but this is a good reminder. Brain Ghost Dirk is just as fake as Rufioh. Eeh, at the moment he still has plenty of "fakeness". Check back in an act act act or so. Well, you'll find out. [M]aybe I’m just tired and I’ll regret this answer tomorrow. Future me is probably just as awful as present me tho so imma say the bastard deserves it. I see you're going to like Karkat, if you ever get that far.

i at least take comfort in the fact that he writes exactly like dave Crap, Hussie screwed up the continuity by having Dirk use proper capitalization! Homestuck is ruined now! Blue's habit of accidentally predicting what happens continues. Wait, has Blue not noticed any of the arms yet? Not yet. So close. Aaaaand that's the last post-worthy thing she had before taking three weeks off to put together a cosplay for a con (thankfully not Homestuck-related), so I'll just link to AT4W's Act 2 episode (which kinda worries me with its title card featuring Karkat and a bucket when the trolls still haven't shown up yet).

I watched that episode of Atop the Fourth wall, as I'm a casual fan. Saw his review of Act 1 as well. Actually, he doesn't mention the trolls at all since I don't think they really show up yet. It's likely his cover artist drew it independent of him. I remember the Act 1 review image was Linkara drawn like John surrounded in darkness with the horns and eyes of the trolls surrounding him. So that's probably most of what the artist knew about Homestuck as well. First trolls, then buckets.
Anyway, his review was good. It seems like he enjoys Homestuck, even though he only has time to read it when he gets it through patreon. He said upfront that eventually acts would get too big for him to review in one go, and is putting an overall size limit on future patreon requests. Depending on the size the future Homestuck books are when they come out, I wonder if he can be convinced to read them in parts that way in the future. Say, a book, or half a book, per episode. If nothing else, it'd be nice if some day he gets the free time to read it on his own and see what he thinks about it that way. Maybe slip in some furtive Homestuck references in his future works?

Honestly I kinda worry about the title card(s) semi-spoiling Linkara, let alone his viewers. I can see why he'd do it since, like Linkara says in the video, it's unlikely he's going to keep going long enough to get to Hivebent and might have to break each act up if he did, and it's not like the early acts provide much material for title cards (though there was an SBaHJ joke to be made here), so I can see the impulse to get the funniest title card ideas out of the way quickly. Meanwhile, Minda did not take Jade's death well. Which actually kind of surprises me considering how much he harped on how much of Jade was still in her grimbark self. I think “Do the same thing, except smarter” is how everybody grows. You don’t just make a mistake, and then flip around to have an entirely different personality; it doesn’t work like that. I feel like this is a less nasty way of putting what Vriska says to (Vriska) later. Cooler than the one you're going to get. On that note: Oh, you'll find out how bad they can get, but it's not going to be for at least a couple weeks because he's going to read Paradox Space to mark the gigapause! Meanwhile meanwhile, for those who like fresh meat (as in someone who's been blogging since last 4/13 but has only been pointed out now), someone posted watch-me-suffer to Minda's Discord, although they seem to have had bad luck with people who would expose them to potential spoilers, though they have an ask screener now so that's good (although some of their bad luck makes me wonder how good a screener they'll be). “They will come in handy.” A bit too ominous. You’re just putting up a poster, not saving the world. *WONK* Wait for it... Anyway, let’s set real life aside where it belongs and dive back into the War of the Roses. Okay so they’re not both named Rose. Shut up and let me have this. Besides, unless my memory is more of a sieve than usual, Mama Lalonde’s first name has yet to be revealed. I’m going to believe she’s Rose too until proven otherwise. If you hold on to that as more than just a joke, you'll be able to hold on to it for a surprisingly long time, even after the comic starts teasing her actual name.

Duck's actually starting to make me uncomfortable. First it was his virulent, blind hatred of Vriska, but now it's his infantilization of Jade too.

so why is this string of islands important in the first place? is it where GG lives in the future, she looked like this would be the perfect reflection of her personality That was quick. Also, I'll just post this without comment: i’m really getting the sense that the timeline of this story is only going to continue to get more and more complicated

So Minda didn't seem to have a problem with any of the god-tier verdicts coming out of Game Over, except for Jane's which he saw ahead of time would be a "bullshit just" death like Jade's. On the other hand, when we offered to show him Hussie's God Tier Talk post on Discord, he pretty much shut it down, saying he still didn't want to think about it after Jade's death and it would only make things worse, which made some of the people there sad that he didn't at least get to see Hussie's justification for why those judgments were more rational than he's giving them credit for. The parallels to how this played out before are both funny and sad. On the one hand it’s kind of cute how Terezi can only poke Vriska with her stick, but the fact that she has a “third option” unlike her canon counterpart highlights the tragedy of that whole incident. Funnily enough, by the time this part of Summerteen Romance came out in real time her canon counterpart had already gained a "third option". Not to start a whole argument, but this points to why I don't like the notion that some of the things Terezi had John do were just black solicitation on her part. Post-retcon, pre-Remem8er Terezi wouldn't know for sure that her pre-retcon self was "ALMOST C3RT41NLY JUST M3SS1NG W1TH YOU", and it's true that this line of reasoning turns out to be less relevant since John telegraphs Gamzee's involvement, but I could see Terezi wanting to correct every single step she went astray even if they won't be apparent to her later. Now I’m… what’s this feeling? I’m…. sympathetic towards her?!!! Fuck… yeah, no one deserves this kind of suffering. Just do it already. We told you about Vriska sympathy, bro. We told you dog. He also didn't recognize the "most important character in Homestuck" as Gamzee, which is interesting. Yes, so funny, like a joke, ha ha. Cal couldn't possibly have anything to do with Lord English, no sirree... Meanwhile, despite earlier predicting that the old copy of the Sassacre book might be "John's copy from the future", Blue still thinks it was John's living Nanna that wrote the inscription, and she fell for the Rose=Witch, Jade=Seer thing. She also has an... interesting reaction to learning Jade's name.

Duck's currently going through WV's dream sequence, translating all of Serenity's morse, and has apparently completely forgotten Jade's furry rant so he's taking it completely seriously.

Honestly Duck tends to forget so much I don't really get phased by it anymore. It certainly amounts to a different take on liveblogging, even if it is pretty frustrating. I'm not sure how much I'm going to keep following liveblogs with the shift to the new site, but dafukdidiwatch did get brought up on Minda's Discord before then. What's interesting is that they actually have a background in computer science, and it actually seems to be leading them astray when it comes to the sylladices and other things. that hammer is going to kill a god or something calling it right now Funnily, while he does take out a number of game constructs with hammers, the only "god" who tends to die in a hammer's presence is John himself. Don't give her (or CD) any ideas. Jade volunteers, and the alchemiter won't even be directly involved! Not yet, but there will be babies delivered on meteors... TG: bro just kicked my ass TG: thats all there really is to say on the matter Save the "scratch" moniker for someone else... Not for the reason you think. Well, he's a little more than that... In Dave's apartment? Try the fridge.

Name sounds familiar. Where they the teen who really liked the Midnight Crew? As you can tell by my splendid memory, I have no clue either.

And with that, Minda is caught up! After a tour down memory lane with some old flashes, he watched Collide, straight through the panels in between to Act 7, then the Credits, and he was directed to go ahead and watch all the other snapchats, except for the one promo-ing Hiveswap, meaning he's now caught up on everything that doesn't have to do with Hiveswap. Exciting stuff! The post he made most recently is poignant to me too."I remember when Act 7 came out on 4/13/16. Obviously I wasn’t reading Homestuck back then, but I followed plenty of people on Tumblr who were part of the fandom, so I knew there was a lot of anticipation for Act 7. Now, I’m usually up all night anyway, so I’m used to the gradual decline in tumblr activity on my feed as people start going to bed, then things start to pick back up again in the morning. So the thing that sticks out in my memory from that night (technically the night of 4/12, I suppose) was midnight struck, the video went live, and… silence. Instead of the slow trickle of activity as people went to bed, my tumblr feed ground to a screeching halt. It wasn’t until the next day that people started posting reactions to what they’d just seen."

A new blog I've been introduced to is homehyuck.tumblr.com they started just a few days ago and have been making decent progress through Act 1. Brand new, but I've been enjoying them so far.

You know what would make me happy? If this harlequin eventually came back as some kind of bad guy in the comic and he’s just so pissed because John frosting-glued fake arms on him and disrespected him. Not the first time I've seen this joke, yet sort of actually true prediction.

Alright, got myself caught up on Blue, DFDIR, and Homehyuck. All seem like pretty good blogs in terms of analysis, although it looks like Blue’s posting schedule is pretty sporadic. I’ll finish reading Minda’s as soon as I get around to watching his A6I3 streams.
