so uh, your friend seemed kind of upset. is he *actually* done with homestuck because of stupid act 1 shenanigans, or...

No, he isn’t. He’s just being dramatic. Plus he got hit with some long hours at work so he’s preoccupied with that. I won’t let him give up, have no fear.

do you have a personal blog

*stops timer* Four years. Four years I’ve had this blog and this is the first time anyone has asked this. I had thought no one ever would, then suddenly here you are.

The answer is yes. However, I will not be sharing it. I like to keep it for personal use. Keep it separate from this blog. Which has worked out great because I’ve interacted with some of my followers here without them eeeeever knowing it was me all along. ;3

Haha! Oh Lord, the cynicism! The hate for everything having to do with the comic! The shitty MS Paint drawings! Your friend is like Karkat and Caliborn had an ecto-baby, and it is glorious. I will definitely be looking forward to his updates. Also, shame on you for spoiling him on so much, but I'm sure the reactions will be all the better for it.

I’m sorry! I just enjoyed talking to people about Homestuck as I was reading through it and he was one of the unfortunates to be stuck listening to my yapping. I didn’t give away the story too much, it was mostly just gushing over characters. I did stop once I had it in my mind that he should do a liveblog and my gushing just became pestering to read it until he caved to my whims. 8D

His hate mostly stems from that badgering, I’m sure. He’s determined to be a cranky butt about this whole thing and while I’ll drag him to the finish line kicking and screaming if I have to I’m fairly certain it won’t come to that. Once he gets into the story he’ll forget he’s supposed to be stubborn ass to annoy me.

You can't fool me. Your 'friend' is Caliborn.

I can see where you’re going with that line of thought, but he’s really just being a whiny baby. He’ll cool off as he reads, I’m sure. I’d say he’s closer to Karkat.

GUYS! I know we’re all still reeling over the end of Homestuck, but you better get hyped over Douchebag Reads Homestuck! I told you I had convinced my friend to liveblog Homestuck and so here he is! He is finally reading Homestuck. Go say hi to him,...

GUYS! I know we’re all still reeling over the end of Homestuck, but you better get hyped over Douchebag Reads Homestuck! I told you I had convinced my friend to liveblog Homestuck and so here he is! He is finally reading Homestuck. Go say hi to him, follow his blog! I’m gonna be his ask screener so you can say hi to me over there too, but please send him some love. He’s hilarious. Go go go!

I admit, I was kinda non-plussed by the ending when I first saw it, but upon further reflection, it does 'end' the story. I do think it could have been A) a bit more clear and B) a bit less abrupt.

I’ve been seeing a lot of people upset with the ending of Homestuck. Some are holding out hope that the epilogue “fixes” it.

Personally I’m perfectly fine with the ending. I knew it was quite likely that the ending would not match everyone’s expectations, or even just simply my expectations. So as the ending approached I geared myself to enjoy whatever it is we got. I didn’t do this to “settle”, I did this because I didn’t want to sour my own experience with disappointment or outrage and I respect Hussie too much to hold him accountable for those feelings.

Homestuck is his story and he’s known how he wanted it to end for years. I wanted him to be able to end his story how he saw fit. So now that it’s come I can enjoy the artistic vision he stuck to. Yes, I still have many questions and it would be nice if the epilogue answered those for me, but I’m not going to count that as the “true” ending or anything. Homestuck ended, they made a new universe and got to live happily ever after. That was the whole point of it all when you get right down to it.

The transcript for Act 7 has been finished for all those interested.

Caliborn never really had a transformation into Lord English tho, he was sucked into Lil Cal and because of the combination of souls inside of there pops out of your local Doc Scratch as Lord English

See, these were the kinds of things that confused me. Basically Lord English is still just one giant question mark to me. =/

May I just say, for the record, that it has been nothing but a pleasure accompanying you on the Wonderlandesque journey through this comic. Your at times funny and at times intelligent but always charming dialogue and reactions was as nice to follow as the comic itself. Thank you for taking us with you.

Ch-charming? Oh my, anon, I was more than happy to share my journey with you! All my followers are too kind. Though I’ve been at this for a couple of years now I continue to be flabbergasted at how much others have enjoyed my commentary and the sweet things they say. Truly, as much as all of you have enjoyed our time together I can assure you that I’ve enjoyed it more!

liveblog^2 needs to stop not being a thing.

I like the way you think. Both the meme and the name. Liveblog^2 is coming, folks! I’m making this happen. B)
