So! reactios to the recently released interview with Skye Henwood?

This honestly gives me less hope for a continuation, 

This really quick pipeline seems to usher in an air of uncertainty.


i was under the impression the animation had been finished, if not for some time.

But, this says to me that there aren't any other things on the spinderoo docket right now if they are still using all their resources to work on the pilot.


And if a September release is to be expected, id have to assume that unless they already have other projects at least *started* in the pipeline, that we can expect a swift decision to either continue or not.


Ultimately, it comes down to two factors imho

A: how many views the pilot itself gets

B: how much money Vivs team makes off the Helluva Colab merch


Because at the end of the day, it has to be at least somewhat of a return on investment, or can be expected to be a return on investment on Viv's end, seeing as she's footing the bill.


i have faith that Skye will advocate for its continuation regardless, as she does seem to be rather passionate about homestuck, and even seems to be willing to help fight for ways to keep the comic accessible. 


Anyway, I'd love to hear more perspectives and takeaways from this article.
