love when ppl who haven’t read hs2 see screencaps from it. yeah rose and jade have a daughter named yiffy. yeah it was this whole Thing. yeah the original writers weren’t taking it seriously and were probably just going to brush it off as a ridiculous situation where none of the characters face any consequences for their actions. yeah the current writers are doing their best to write themselves out of a hole they didn’t even dig. yeah it’s this whole Thing. also yiffy is actually really cool she hasn’t said a single word since her introduction but she hates authority and tap danced on a clown’s corpse

In addition to these just being gorgeous gorgeous panels today (these and the Yiffy update both knocking it out of the park with the art style) I'm absolutely obsessed with how Rosebot in these has a face that looks perpetually tear-streaked in her robot body because of the placement of the seams on her face. Normal normal symbolism embedded into your robot-body that your gaslight gatekeep brainwash ectofather built for you. She is definitely having a normal and fun time.

the tag is ‘upd8’ or ‘upd8 spoilers’ for homestuck btw. please use it.
saying this because there are a LOT of new fans who weren’t around when it was updating regularly and don’t know the etiquette.

Oh man I gotta say the panels for this update are super cool. The art team is doing a kickass job.
Spoilers beneath the bar it does give us an idea of the scope moving forward. I was really hoping the characters were gonna talk about their classes more, but the context for the story is important too I guess.
Alt Calliope’s explanation for why the story has gotten so convoluted and fucked up out of hand in ways unsatisfying to everyone involved is pretty good honestly. Yeah it alludes to the meta of the writers/audience relation to the work, but that honestly is what makes it such a genius choice even if it seems like a cop out on the surface. Homestuck has always been super meta, it’s one of its core pillars, and the new team have been very honest about the state of homestuck and how they feel about some strange story choices they inherited.
I also think it’s really fucking interesting that the house being symbolic of the narrative and that transforming into this convulsed fuckery reminiscent of how the kids built their houses up in Sburb. That imagery is golden. There’s a lot of good art in these updates. So much good art. I would like to beg and plead with both the HICU and Alt Callie though to not deny me further classpect exposition this was RIPE FOR IT.
There might’ve been a bit of it with the way Callie describes their presence, but I think they might’ve been meant as a reference to the abilities of Lord English she got from snack time. Hard to say, though it seems referential.
