Anyhows, have a nonspoilery panel that Neon and I are working on Also can anyone tell me how to set my profile picture?

As for the panel, I believe it shows vriska trying to bake a cake. She has piled up a lot of dough or just the ingredients and needs them stored away in the 8ball because Egdad is incoming. @havoc, maybe it doesn't work in all browsers? Or it's something with cookie storage.

To be honest as much as im still not 100% satisfied at all with homestuck, one good thing about the credits is that Nightfall could still easily be connected to the post-recton timeline, since Vriska as of now has vanished and terezi is looking for her. In the early pages of Nightfall Vriska had died but came back and found John, which technically makes sense. And as of now Calliope/Roxy seems more cannon than John/Roxy and Vrisrezi are still moirails so John/Vriska could still actually work. xD I think the main problem is the general setting since the world is a lot different, the whole school thing since im not sure if school even exists on the new planet and the trolls living on a different planet rather than living with the kids, and how there is no trolls in the kid's new planet. And happy birthday

==>ponytailArtist: Submit birthday presentWelcome, one and all, to the spectacular annual event known to us all as "Neon's hella cool birthday", wherein I type a big old " Happy Birthday, TheNeonWerewolf!" and then submit fanarts in an attempt to make the werewolf in question feel good about herself and the things she makes. I wonder what the theme is this time? Let me just reach into this hat here (which is actually my brain) aaaand... ...Angsty/depressed teenagers sharing their feelings in what may or may not be a giant freudian slip on my part. Welp. At least I can try to make it look pretty. Next time I'm gonna stick to just one drawing. I just don't have the energy to keep making these fancomics. >_<==>Hades, Liz, Vriska, : You need to speak, and be heard.==>(open spoiler for the rest) HADES: It's hard... HADES: ...knowing that you can never, ever atone for who you are, or something terrible that you've done, despite your best efforts. HADES: Even when you think you've moved past your mistakes, the damage is still done, and there's still a huge void left in your heart that might never be filled. HADES: It changes you, and not in a good way. HADES: Life becomes that much harder to deal with when the people you trusted most turn their backs on you and would rather forget that you even exist. HADES: Everything feels pointless. Sometimes it even feels like life is no longer worth living. HADES: It's hard, and no one understands. HADES: And yet... I'm still here.==>LIZ: It's hard... LIZ: ...being friends with people that don't care about you as much as you do about them. LIZ: You want to talk with them about the things you like, but they just can't bring themselves to care, and sometimes it happens the other way around, and then it gets all awkward. LIZ: You try real hard to find common ground... Too hard, maybe. You make the effort, yet you know all you're doing is just weirding them out or getting on their nerves. LIZ: And then you end up feeling like an annoyance. Like your presence is making their lives worse and maybe it would be best for everyone if you just disappeared. LIZ: But you can't even bring yourself to do that, because you desperately need them, even when you KNOW they don't need you. LIZ: And then you get clingy without realizing it, and in doing so you only alienate them more. You become the annoyance you thought you were to begin with. LIZ: And then, without warning, they're gone. Just like that. The people you might value most in the world, and you're never gonna see them again, and you have no one to blame but yourself. LIZ: It's hard, and no one understands. LIZ: But... I'm still here.==>VRISKA: It's hard... : ...dealing with change in your life, both drastic and small. VRISKA: Sometimes, the things that used to 8ring you joy no longer do, and no matter how hard you try, you just can't seem to rekindle any passion for it. : Sometimes you need to grow up at a pace that you're just not ready for, because life waits for no one. And then you get overwhelmed by all the responsibility thrust onto you, and lose your shit. VRISKA: May8e you have a past you're not proud of. And even though you want to leave it all 8ehind, you just can't, 8ecause your experiences define who you are, for 8etter or worse. : And maybe you've seen first-hand that the world is a cruel place, one that we can't just run away from.

Let others shoulder your burdens from time to time; No one will think less of you for it. HADES: Things in your life will change. That is an inevitability. However, no matter how different things become, there will still exist people you can trust. Those who will listen, and allow you to be heard. LIZ: You don't have to spend all your time worrying if your problems make you a nuisance to others. If they're really your friends, they won't mind putting up with it from time to time. LIZ: And if the people you loved most decide to abandon you, that doesn't mean you should spend all your time feeling awful or angry about it. You need to find new people. It's not easy by any means, but it can be done. HADES: You might see change as a thoroughly bad time, but the bad times are simply times that are bad. They won't last forever. And although the same can be said of the good times, they are the times that we will remember most fondly. HADES: We all have to deal with the good and the bad, but people will spend so much time focusing on the bad that they can't appreciate the good. It's important to learn to move past this- There's more to life than suffering and loss. LIZ: Feeling bad about the things you can't change or the people you've upset will only weigh you down. It's okay to be a little selfish in that regard. HADES: Change isn't easy, and neither is life. But in the end...==>HADES: We're still here. YOU are still here. That's something that hasn't changed. LIZ: Someone will understand. Someone has to! The world is a big place, after all. VRISKA: Life goes on.

VRISKA: ........So, can we get out of here now? This place is depressing as hell, which you'd think is counter intuitive to what we've 8een doing. LIZ: I think it was just to set the mood! VRISKA: Yeah, stick a 8unch of angsty alien teenagers in a dark dank room on a 8unch of uncomfortable stools so they can talk about their feelings! Thaaaaaaaat makes sense. : It's poetic? VRISKA: It's stupid. HADES: Why not both? : LIZ: VRISKA: :::==>They then proceeded to go watch an animated movie of Liz's choosing and have an overall good time together, even if the movie itself wasn't that great. It was a Pokemon movie, what did you expect? Those movies are "okay" at best. They still had fun and agreed to hang out again though, that's the important thing. Next time Hades picks the movie. Also, not relevant to anything, but Vriska is friends with three different kinds of aliens now. Isn't that weird? Four if you include Raven from that one time a few months back. Man she really gets around.

I realized something since davepeta sprite most likely still exists then the nepeta we saw in the credits wasn't the alpha nepeta since the alpha vriska and tavros ghosts appeared when tavrissprite exploded Idk I could completely wrong with this theory

Hussie probably didn't approve of the credits if he hadn't killed anyone off in them. But I could think of another question: If Tavros died (again), does he go to a dream bubble again? Or is Nightfall Tavros gone forever (only to show up in the last minute and save the day which would be TOTALLY unexpected)

Also people are free to make their theories about the credits, doesn't change that it's still irritating as all hell and completely unnecessary. MOVING ON BECAUSE THIS IS NIGHTFALL NOT HOMESTUCK Get hype for those new updates

So much is happening right now I... I don't know. I will not even start on my feelings on the update "Credits: Sequel Hooks Galore" and how Homestucks story became to convoluted for even itself.
For you Neon: Happy Birthday. I don't know what exactly keeps you from creating new updates. College Stress, private Stress or De-Motivation but I will be patient and wait for you to deliver more.
ponytailartist: This is an incredible short comic. Very good art and I feel with Liz the most. If your behaviour is different and partly out of your control it can hurt a lot if other people don't understand why or a unable to handle certain people who don't even mean it bad. Liz certainly doesn't mean it bad... Still, she seems to make friends these days? Including aliens and Pokémon Expies? Well, it doesn't look so bad for me either.
About Nightfall in General: I suggest a bank heist of the Midnight Crew on Cyronillia who escaped the afterlife via demonic possession of Final Fantasy Characters and many Phoenix Downs. The operation "Steal the entire bank" is combined with "Kill that murderous impostor of me who got MY GIRL BUT NOT DOING ANYTHING FOR IT AND NOT DESERVING IT DAMNIT!"
P.S.: What is Liz's opinion on "Pokémon GO"?

Hussie killed Karkat's ally in the game, and the only Jack that was less shitty. However, Spades Slick still destroyed a universe by killing his own hate lover.

Hi Folks! I wrote a small fanfic for Nightfall, text only, about 6 pages long. A JohnVris romcom, you might say? I liked the dynamics between the two and wanted to expand them a little. If anyone's interested, it's here.

(Truly, the man has indeed lit a fire under his own ass.) I'm just thoroughly disgusted by all this hate and rage, and I fail to see where it's all coming from. Sure, you didn't like the ending. I get that. But why... this? Have people really become so invested in it they literally cannot stomach the idea of one single detail being flawed? Come on people, it's just a bloody webcomic! Calm down! Aaaaaaaanyway I'm going to stop half-ranting-half-musing-to-myself and talk about something else. Sorry I missed your birthday Neon (I forgot when exactly it was. Oops! ). Hopefully you’ll accept my belated well-wishing as well my continued support in your work on Nightfall, regardless of what direction you decide to take the plot. Secondly, a question that’s been bugging me for a while: given how Samurai-ish/militaristic/blood-and-glory the Shinobi are (or at least seem to be), do they have any kind of formalized duel system set up in their culture? Like, oh, I dunno… the Tal’darim and Rak’shir, for example? And finally: I suggest a bank heist of the Midnight Crew on Cyronillia who escaped the afterlife via demonic possession of Final Fantasy Characters and many Phoenix Downs. The operation "Steal the entire bank" is combined with "Kill that murderous impostor of me who got MY GIRL BUT NOT DOING ANYTHING FOR IT AND NOT DESERVING IT DAMNIT!" Ralte, I have no idea what the free-falling hell that second part means (or what a Phoenix Down is, for that matter), but whatever I still wholeheartedly support this idea. The Midnight Crew should totally rob a Shinobi bank, if only because hilarity will doubtlessly ensue and we will all have a good laugh.

A Phoenix Down is an item that allows Final Fantasy players to revive their characters, and Ralte is referring to the Jack Noir of the B1 session stealing Ms. Paint from the Jack Noir of the A2 session.
Also, I like your fic, Slangens. I haven't finished reading it yet, but I will. EDIT: It is really good.

Ralte, I have no idea what the free-falling hell that second part means (or what a Phoenix Down is, for that matter), but whatever I still wholeheartedly support this idea. The Midnight Crew should totally rob a Shinobi bank, if only because hilarity will doubtlessly ensue and we will all have a good laugh. K so in response, I'ma make you work on something that you treasure for 4 or 5 years of your life. And then I'm gonna take it and grind it into dust in front of your eyes, then spit in your face. Then tell me it was just a piece of art or just a piece of writing. There are CONTENT creators who have created fanpieces of Homestuck, INCLUDING Neon and Nightfall, who have lost any and all motivation to continue their work because the author took an about face and completely changed something we were already invested in. As a creator, he has a right to do so. And as a fan who has invested a lot of time, effort, and content creation, I, and many others, are allowed to be furious about this. TL;DR

Ooooooh-kay. I clearly hit a nerve there... sorry. Can we at least agree that: a) Homestuck has become incredibly shitty, and could do with some serious un-fucking, b) we're all angry about point a to one degree or another, and that is PERFECTLY FINE, c) Nightfall is still awesome and the thing we're here to enjoy, and d) by extension we're all here to support Neon and her work and move on? I really don't want to be the one to start a flame war on the Nightfall thread.

As probably no one cares about my opinion on the ending, I put it in spoilers here. Ibelieve that AH intended with Act 7 to have a pseudo-ending that would get people to simply create their own stories of what happened. Instead of giving a direct, thus-it-was ending, he gave us an ambiguous ending to let almost everything be canon. But somehow, his plan didn't work out, and people got mad;Then, with the credits, he back-paddled and gave us a clear idea of "what happened". I understand why people are mad. I was a little myself, but I think I wasn't in for long enough to really feel the effect of it.
Anyway, I've seen the ideas here and was lit on fire. I wrote up something today, I think ralte might like it You can check it here.(8 pages) I wasn't entirely sure on what to do with the ending, so I left ambiguity there and also some space for those who have ideas on getting Spades and MsPaint back together.

This is one of the best Midnight Crew fanfictions I have read!
