aradia: im out here living my best life o_o davebot: sollux is stranded aradia: this ain't about him

[@figs-oliomedley]

XD

[@LaureledEevees]

Oops. Video has some issues with editing. Fixing it rn in YT Studio's editor. Update: FIXED! YAAAY! NO LONGER VOID OF VOID!

[@im_ener]

is that why theres an extra 20 minutes of nothing at the end?

[@LaureledEevees]

Big accident on my part. This is why I don't do late night editing. XD

[@ogjew72]

This update wasn't bad!

[@goldend791]

Unfortunately it was also short

[@somegirl4260]

Behold, red text, the update.

[@figs-oliomedley]

I prefer it over orange-creme avalanche tbh

[@paradoxicaloutcome1007]

I love how this kind of implies that Aradia didn't leave Sollux deliberately, but just FORGOT about him while leaving the Candy timeline. Also, is it just me or does Ult!Dave have some personality quirks similar to the Auto-Responder? I guess that's just in general how Striders react to becoming part-computer. EDIT: ALSO also, why is Alt!Calliope drinking, well, anything? Unless she somehow managed to revive the body and transfer a significant portion of her consciousness into it, she's still remote-piloting a corpse.

[@rida81]

Maybe shes not, she's just pretending so we read her mug

[@goldend791]

She did drink OJ in the pipeship though... So maybe she couldn't find any on the shittily drawn ship (SDS) and drinks coffee instead. (But most likely it's to show the audience that she made herself at home in the SDS and they forgot)

[@goldend791]

Also I find funny that the lights whizzing by the SDS are pretty professional looking as if to imply THAT THING is actually speeding through the reaches of meatspace.

[@rida81]

@@goldend791 That jade was alive though. this jade is dead. That's why it's odd that she's drinking.

[@sofiasevilla74]

This made me realize how much I miss AraSol

[@graaaaaaaaaaaaaaace]

This was the first update that felt like proper Homestuck to me. It was fun, while still commentating on lore & being an interesting read. It was also way less pretentious in writing & felt like the writers weren't projecting on the characters in it. Which were HUGE problems for like... most of the previous writing.

[@royalcomputer3780]

^

[@fernandad1086]

This.

[@jebbjabroni]

Honestly, this might be one of my favorite updates so far. Edit: In terms of writing, that is.

[@PrismLight5]

As a newish homestuck fan it doesn't feel right to have Dave make references that aren't 10 years old

[@BobDoleTrasher]

At the end, it's probably the coffee kicking in with the dog side of her.

[@shythelycan8133]

The reason why there's 3 Jade's now is because ones from the English and John fight, Candy and Meat (of course)

[@junebug413]

wait but doesn't caliborn fight timeline jade get slorped up into the treasure, like the other beta kids there?

[@xFalseArt]

@@junebug413 They did, after they got sucked in, they got shot right back out at Lord English when Vriska summoned the juju.

[@arisenspirit]

@@xFalseArt yeah and after that the black hole sent her corpse to candy

[@FrostiOrca]

The dynamic I never thought I needed

[@ivykyen2398]

DaveBot:i hate my life Aradia and Jade: that's funny

[@jonathanredacted3245]

I personally believe either Dirk is trying to kick her out of the narrative of meat space or paradox space is displeased by two versions of the same calliope. Or meat.... godlliope is trying to contact her/seize control of her vessel.

[@rarestpepe3815]

That's the same Calliope. As she said, she can exist at several places at once, though technically they're all just projections. Her real body is either trapped in, or is, the Black Hole. Which also also the Candy-verse.

[@gnosticgalass4696]

im thinnking the headache is supposed to be when alt calliope gave up meat jade's body.

[@drvenastolica03]

Honestly without your videos I would be so confused about what's happening in hs2. Thank you so much!

[@fabienfillatre6635]

yeah , me too

[@draagon9900]

cant wait for next months upd8

[@StepperBox]

We do have one more upd8 for the month.

[@Nevix_Alare]

This made me remember how much aradia was my favorite troll.

[@MaxEverywhereSystem]

will you all join me in a moment of pressing f for aradia and sollux not escaping the heat death of canon

[@solahifuefos9301]

my theory is that mspar stealing candy dave away via retcon in dirks route in pesterquest means that davebot no longer exists which gives callie a meta-headache and shocks her

[@z_is_for_zombie7423]

Well this update was... inoffensive. I guess.

[@cheatseychespin2792]

Is it just a youtube glitch or was this made 40 minutes on accident Still a really good update :3

[@goldend791]

Nice reference to og homestuck with so much black after the video ends

[@goldend791]

Nevermind she fixed it

[@allengregiryz4life899]

i-i-is arasol.. over? :(

[@tentacletherapist6451]

Yes

[@bigboytruck1754]

I got think she just forgot about him lmfao

[@tentacletherapist6451]

In the epilogues Sollux said he didnt wanna go with Aradia and he was concerned because he was stuck on the roof

[@abiekuashun2880]

18:09-39:49 Void of Void

[@iidavaan9339]

Okay not a bad update, were making progress everybody!

[@jadethenidoran]

so they actually killed Jade how can I be more done with the post canon stuff than I already was

[@AstralAlpaca]

That Jade been dead

[@jadethenidoran]

@@AstralAlpaca the big sad

[@jonathanredacted3245]

That's the jade that died fighting Lord English. And by that I mean she got punk'd by a breaking shard of reality

[@jadethenidoran]

@@jonathanredacted3245 wait what? Was that in Collide?

[@0Magicallywild0]

Jade Hunter that was in the epilogue.

[@retrowave4050]

hey... that's pretty good!

[@rarestpepe3815]

So Dave is feeling guilty about ditching Jade. Though should he? She doesn't seem to shaken up about his 'death', after all. Unless she doesn't know about it yet, which seems unlikely. Also, I really don't like Calliope. And Aradia is starting to get on my nerves too.

[@fallenflowers9036]

But shouldn’t candy dave still be with mspa reader? Can someone please explain I’m confused (not a first for homestuck tbh)

[@rarestpepe3815]

MSPAR used the Juju to get that Dave, so he's a duplicate. Relatively safe, too, as Juju travel doesn't create doomed timelines and paradoxes when used. Normally, anyway. Changing something as big as the Sburb session itself took some extra effort to become stable. P.S. Ms Par is now the MSPA Reader's name.

[@fallenflowers9036]

Alistair Grove Thanks a lot!

[@Rockernator]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the first time we've had a page with sound in the entire comic (hs2, that is)?

[@LaureledEevees]

We had a page that tik-tocked in Chapter 6

[@PrismLight5]

I'm gonna be sad if we never get to hear music in an [s] page ):

[@confusedmisery4955]

yo, this came out on my birthday and i missed it 😑🤦🏽‍♀️

[@starterking]

Calliope seems different is it because she's in full control of this body

[@crystalwaites4731]

[@lordlammi1562]

Jen, I like ya, but if you continue to pronounce it as "Homestuck Two", then I won't be able to see you as a respectable human being. EDIT: This comment was tongue & cheek, in case I came across as mean.

[@nono-lz9qr]

What are you supposed to call it? Homestuck to the second power?

[@nono-lz9qr]

@@acerola7955 I’m pretty sure those 2 terms are interchangeable, it’s been a while since I’ve done that kind of math
