These last two upd8s have made my life. Whatever's going on with the Fanontinuum is so exciting; I loved Paradox Space and especially The Inaugural Death, so to see them (potentially) return in some form is awesome, and it's nice to finally see fanon represented as an oppositional existential force to canon in HS:BC, whatever form the Fanontinuum ultimately takes. And today's upd8 was perfect; I really feel like I'm reading Homestuck for the first time again. The wonder of a new planet, a new species, new alien culture and terminology, the character introduction section... we have truly never been so back babey. I can't wait to learn more about nymphs and satyrs! The nymph design is sooooooo fucking cool and distinctly Rose, so I'm sure I'll be equally as impressed by and obsessed with whatever the team has cooked up for the satyrs. I'm already feeling the urge to make fankids. I love Ly'lac! I love TC! I literally couldn't be more excited if I tried! I don't even know what to say it's all just really cool!
This is a premature ventriloquism / Like a séance for someone who isn't dead yet / This is a fatal pretension—like hanging yourself with a velvet rope / I sign it like a death receipt / This is: stop hitting yourself! / It's pushing a pork roast in a vintage pram / This is an empty cuckoo clock, fast approaching midnight / This is a ransom note with no demands
