A Patreon redesign seems to have moved the counter around the page, but our "Goals" box is still visible to all users on patreon.com/homestuck! - Kate

yo wheres follower count???? how we know if yall reach 2000???

FrankenFlora

I think Jasprosesprite^2 is doing the catnapping

Chaggen Nuggets

I wonder who did the CATNAPPING. Probably a spider themed troll! Or a bird themed troll? I can't think of a a theme for this act.

Arturo Reyes Cortez

i really enjoyed this! i'm hoping that one of the bonuses will include the dnd disaster dirk mentioned. keep up the good work! <3

Hm. Interesting... I wonder where this is going... also wrt the discussion here about "canon" as it's used in the story rn, it's pretty obvious to me that it's not really in the same sense that we use it IRL. The "Candy" timeline is "less canon" because it is predicated on not dealing with the underlying issue with reality, whereas "Meat" is "more canon" because some of its; inhabitants are attempting to solve the problem, the success or failure of will likely determine the fate of reality at large. It's basically a new, meta-textual evolution of the "alpha timeline" vs. "doomed timeline" concept from the original series following the liberation of the "Creators" from Skaia/Sburb's influence.

More like they fast forwarded time in the flooded Alpha Earth so the water would recede, but since so much time had passed everyone just settled on starting the clock with the day of Obama's election or something. It would definitely make sense alongside them building an Obama Memorial White House.

The wording is pretty awkward in that article

Which one did he negotiate, the office, the Pact, or both?

Chaggen Nuggets

"the office was established as a successor to thr Quad-Kingdom Pact first negotiated by the Mayor"

Chaggen Nuggets

"January 20, 2021". Wow, really? Why? Shouldn't it be 5007 year? 2021 years since what, exactly? Some kind of troll/carapace/consort Jesus?

a 'catnap powder' could either mean Jasprose, or Calliope who knows magic involving sleep. probably to pacify enemies. Calliope might be hellbent of ensuring her visions never come ture... meaning its possible that Jane is tied up in Callie and Roxie's apartment.

The only character I personally had doubts would not join the PrinceSeeking was Jake. As between his broken-heartedness towards the one being followed (now I'm asking myself if Jake, his mind free of Dirk's narrative power would be the key to defeating him), love of Jane, usual cowardice, I could both see him staying or, less likely, deciding to follow after Dirk after what just happened between them. I guess Callie too? I don't think their mental state was the best at the end of Meat, but Roxy leaving them behind or vice-versa would seem odd. I guess we still don't know. Was Callie ever referred to as one of the Creators, are they part of that pantheon?

Dário Paquinha

I am starting to think what they mean by Canon out the window is literally Paradox space got ate by a black hole, that system of control has been removed. So a new reality could be formed. Rules rewritten

lordoffantasy

According to the post mentioned up there, they're not essential to understanding the main story but might become relevant in the future, in which case there will be a summary of the events! Hope that helps!

Dário Paquinha

any chance of a discord for patreons so we can discuss the bonus content?

Sailorluna

This is probably a dumb question what with the whole theme of canon being thrown out the window, but are the Bonus Tier side stories "canon" in the sense that they are in the same continuity of Homestuck^2, or are they entirely offshoot and wont matter in Homestuck^2?

Claire

never 6get

Cyberbun

Double every month!

What Pumpkin

Caught.

What Pumpkin

just wanted to ask regarding the 2000 patrons for double updates, does that mean an extra update every two months, or double updates every month?

FrankenFlora

Wait. "Catnap powder, being like magic." Calliope is behind this!! She has anti sleep majyyk. And spamming it is kinda her thing

lordoffantasy

benefactpr

Cyberbun

huh! whaddya know! very good bonus content, fellas, very excited to see more shenaniganagans.

Henri

Oh wow, Davepeta maybe? Jasprose? I can't wait to see!

Liz Thorp

been quite a while. and its kinda obvious eventually this will fold into the main story, just not yet. and it doesn't mean ALL of them will.

lordoffantasy

Still digesting it. Was expecting that the Meat Team would have stayed back to deal with Jane. But i guess only Karkat really thought she could cause harm. And to be fair she doesn't have Gamzee to fuck things up more. Still, speculation is speculation and it seems someone is acting to deal with this potential issue!

lordoffantasy

"if events." i admit does seem rather disingenuous though. Cause obviously someone kidnapping Jane and making sure she can't fuck over Earth C, and also get worse and worse like her Candy counterpart did, cannot do anything BUT become a plot point in the main comic. It cannot be a coincidence that Brain Dirk appears here too. But its likely something for year from now before they pop up again. And i guess that even if this is a story that does, not all of them will necessarily.

lordoffantasy

i hope so!!!!! i missed the sprites so much

yuyumiin

It says "Benefactpr" now

Cassie Jones

Did Jane just get ganked by Jasprose?

lordoffantasy

There will be a new chapter of bonus stories every month! It may be the next part of a story you've seen or the first chapter of a new story. Stay tuned! - Kate

What Pumpkin

yeet haw

spades gameing

Edited!! Thank you for pointing it out. - Kate

What Pumpkin

Wow this is a lot more than what I was expecting from the bonus updates!! Will this side story update monthly like the main comic?

SoberDOGS

The post says "Boonbuster and above," do you mean "Benefactor and above"?

Cassie Jones

HEHEHE! This is excellent!!!

Cassie Jones

Oh!!!! This is wonderful!!! I wonder who could have possibly been behind this horrible catnapping???? :0
