Had a few more things to say today:
She then briefly talks about Andrew's dad:
Message she was replying to:
Now I'm new to the wider circle of Hussie hanger-ons and have no idea the history of his dad, his brother and Homestuck. Can anyone give a brief overview of when they started being mentioned/how they were involved, if at all?
I can empathize with having to take care of a terminally ill family member and the toll that it can take. But also the guy was drawing comics all day and seemingly fucked off after the Hiveswap Kickstarter drama and is only coming back from his extended vacation because the money has run dry and the wife left you. It's very clear from the way Vibri talks about pitching this show on Discord that I have a feeling Vivzie will be using her Amazon connections to secure a deal for all the Slopmerch to be enjoyed.

That's an incredibly schizophrenic theory that unlike the homestuck "theories" of a similar nature likely won't be retroactively "confirmed" anytime soon. You're more likely for asgore hitting someone with a truck being real.

I might be reading too much into things, but it is probably deliberate. Probably a callback to Nepeta's severed head winding up on Gamzee's "jury" (as seen in [ S ] Flip. (archive) )
I only remember the idea of abusing that particular art composition sin as an allusion to getting beheaded because Madoka Magica did it a whole lot of that Mami.... who dies by getting decapitated.
It might not a be an intentional reference, but considering how almost everything in Homestuck is a reference rooted in the last decade (or more) and the sheer tumblrfication of the fandom, I wouldn't put past them.

It's more likely the image would look weird in other places if the horizon or character was shifted up or down. Ocean up too far? Going to look like the characters underwater or leaning back. Ocean too far down? opposite issues, ocean ends up looking like it's made of floor.

Kind of retarded that they edited Cow and Chicken into "Cow and Tuna" without editing the titular Chicken into a Tuna. A nitpick I know, but if you're too lazy to actually edit the poster, then maybe parody something else? Or don't include it at all.

New Bard's Quest but you need to be on their phone verified discord. If only there was an Unofficial Homestuck Collection to bypass this, thanks Hussie.

Jester Quest
Vibri said this will ultimately be on the website and will be a short event.
Will keep updating, supposedly more coming today.
Also, once again no other mod ever telling stories like this:
Vibri said this will ultimately be on the website and will be a short event.
You are a simple jester who has been waiting diligently for an update to your favorite story, Bard Quest, since it went on hiatus in 2007. It's been 18 years of tireless mashing on the refresh button, to no avail. You've been staring at the most recent page, where the bard and his two servants encounter a swamp wizard. God, what you wouldn't give to know what happens next. There have been times where you almost lost faith, and stopped refreshing. But you always come crawling back in the off chance the author hasn't forgotten about his unforgivable negligence to the loyal BQ fandom, which may or may not consist of exactly one parasocially obsessed jester.
Wait, you're going to the dark place again. You swore about 10 years ago... or maybe 15, you forget... that you would start thinking only positive and optimistic thoughts about the beautiful unfinished tale that is Bard Quest, and limit yourself to a maximum of TEN FOUL THOUGHTS per day about the author of this magnificent opus. You return to your cheerful disposition about Bard Quest, and consider that today could be THE DAY that it updates again. Crazier things have happened! Such as you locking yourself in this room in 2007 and programming it not to let you out until BQ is finished, as a melodramatic sign of your passion for this tale.
Alas, it appears another day has passed without an update to Bard Quest. You chuckle anxiously, as you glance at your dwindling stockpile of bunker rations which you bought from a survivalist supply store 18 years ago. You bought a 20 year supply, mostly as a joke, because you figured the hiatus might last a few months at most. But now you're getting a bit nervous. In your nervousness, your finger jitters and accidentally clicks the mouse on a link you never noticed before.

What the fuck is this?
Looks like some sort of story catalogue for the website your beloved Bard Quest is hosted on. Guess you were too hyperfixated on BQ to check out the links in the menu. Apparently there's a story which came before it called Jailbreak. You don't see what that has to do with bards or quests, so it sounds pretty lame to you.
But there's another one above it. Wait a minute...
Does this mean while you were waiting for BQ to update all these years, the reason the author never updated was because he moved on to work on another story without you noticing? FOR EIGHTEEN YEARS???
There's a LOG link here...

Oh my god. He's been updating JESTER QUEST regularly since 2007. Hovering over the latest link tells you that JQ is approximately 30,000 pages long. Jesus Christ.

>Reflect remorsefully on your squandered life.
You're not sure what the bigger gut punch is. The fact that you've guzzled down 18 years worth of Spam and canned beans from your discount survivalist bunker pack for basically no reason, or the fact that this very well could mean Bard Quest will NEVER update again. Your mind wanders to the cyanide tablets that came with your bunker gear which the guy said was in case zombies break into your bunker and you didn't want to become a shambling rotten freak roaming the apocalyptic wastes. You never worried much about becoming a zombie, but the tablets loomed large in your mind in case a day like this came, or in the event BQ updated and the story started sucking.
At this point, maybe you would have preferred that, because it would have made the decision to off yourself easy as can be. But THIS? The 30K page tale called Jester Quest seems designed to bedevil you - SPECIFICALLY you. Is... is this story ABOUT you? You absolutely hate that idea. Jesters are notoriously allergic to meta shit. It's all so horrible and devoid of whimsy.

God. Yeah. It's just a story about you, starting exactly how this day began, which was only a few pages ago from the perspective of the story as of this current page. Awful. Your mind twists into the most unfunny and nonmirthful pretzels possible as you strain to understand how this actually works.
Will this story tell your future? You tremble at the thought of what lies in the pages ahead. Dare a silly little jester such as yourself take a peek at what the cruel hand of destiny has in store for them?

67th GEN CYBERFLOTHERS heroically weilds his ELECTRIC CATTLE PROD to zap your CEJESTIAL TULPA into a heightened state of consciousness, in hopes that the voltage might spur your WHIMSY CRICKET into generating a more powerful CHIRP FIELD. Ideally, this will enable you to lend aura more effectively to the ASH MANNEQUIN OF DAUNCHYCLONE XIV, thus assisting with his prayers to the BOG PORTAL. If he is successful, and his prayers find the exact right SWAMPLITUDE and FECENCY to open the portal, this MIGHT be your best shot at reaching the wizard before your FLESH JESTER runs out of food back in the bunker.But it's tough to maintain concentration when your PROTREPTIC RHAPSODIST keeps badgering you with new ideas. You're going to need to concentrate on boosting that CHIRP FIELD, which usually does a good job of blocking out her nagging persuasions. Now that you think about it, that's probably why she's spent the last 30,000 pages trying to convince you to eat your cricket. Hey, you're sick of BUNKER SPAM, and you're very hungry, but not THAT hungry.
Ok, you think you have somehow inferred contextually from this single page what's going on here. Your far-future self is attempting to enter the final page of Bard Quest so they can prompt an update to that story, thereby deactivating the locking mechanism on your bunker door which you foolishly had installed 18 years ago. This strikes you as good news and bad news. The good news is that your future self has a solid plan and is acting on it AS WE SPEAK. The bad news is that from your current frame of reference, it will take you another 18 years to make as much progress as your cejestial tulpa apparently has, and what makes things worse and more confusing, those 18 years have already passed, because you spent them dicking around in this bunker refreshing Bard Quest, and not being aware Jester Quest was even a thing. You can't believe what a fucking idiot you've been. Sometimes you feel so stupid, you think it's a miracle you even graduated jester school.
Will keep updating, supposedly more coming today.

I caught the update in 3 hours time, guess it means it's good ig.
The Odyssey
This update was alright, it's just people redoing old mspa things like eat the chalk and horses ig
Would uncle ted approve? And like dirk they are getting rid of it, after a couple of attempts how queer.

Not even 7 pages in and there's already a self-insert of Boople, lol. She even drew fanart (can you even call it fanart?) of her. I have attached a comparison of her art with very similar proportions, if there's someone out there who's still not convinced.

>Jester: Heed Protreptic Rhapsodist.
You are seized by a sudden sense of unsettling communion with an unknown entity. You were worried this might happen soon. This must be the PROTREPTIC RHAPSODIST you were warned about by the latest page of your story. You gathered from contextual clues that your relationship with this being and her meddlesome brain advice is rather fraught. But maybe now that you're better prepared for her intrusions, everything will go much-

>Next.
AUGH!!! A flood of incomprehensible horseshit surges through your mind. So many terrible ideas! You can't believe anyone in the cosmos would want to see you act out such foolishness. Maybe this Rhapsodist doesn't have your best interests in mind after all.
But wait. You sense these are not the mandates of the Rhapsodist herself, but are being channeled through her in some way. These horrible ideas surely originate from a horde of demons who wish to see you made the fool! The Rhapsodist strikes you as more of a curator of bad ideas, a filter of sorts. This brings you comfort, as you don't see why she would bother with this charade unless she was a mystical guide in some sense, not unlike a guardian angel. You decide to place your full trust in the wisdom of the Rhapsodist. You just KNOW she's going to pick a course of action which is both logical and constructive in addressing your current dilemma.

Just great. Your worst fears have been confirmed. It seems the Rhapsodist enjoys fucking with you, and as a result, you have just thrown a top 500 bean-splashing tantrum in your 18 year stay in this bunker. Possibly even top 100, it's hard to say. You've had a lot of meltdowns. But this one feels worse than many, because you weren't allowed the free will to crash out over Bard Quest's shitty update schedule under your own volition. You feel violated.
~
>Next.
But it wasn't JUST the Rhapsodist, was it? No, she plucked a bad faith missive from a hellsent demon by the name of "deer pilled runcel". This vile scoundrel wishes nothing for you but shame and ruin. You are going to start a list full of people you consider to be lacking in mirth, such as this DPR hooligan, and one day when you get out of this bunker you will track them all down and FROWN HEAVILY AT THEM.
Oh no, the Rhapsodist is agitating your brain cells again. What actions will she make you take now, which are only slightly more degrading than the actions you take on a daily basis of your own free will? You brace yourself for the worst.

>Form a Jester Lover out of beans and Spam.
Ok, you have to hand it to this "Mari" demon, this idea really isn't so bad. It's not far off from what you typically get up to with your 20 year supply of unenjoyable provisions.
But you usually forge a life sized replica of the Bard from Bard Quest out of your rations. You make a new one every week, and time it carefully such that the MOMENT it begins smelling a little rank, you eat it so as not to waste food and accelerate your demise.
A Jester Lover is a great suggestion. You don't know why it never occurred to you, but yes, your Food Bard has been getting a little lonely after all these years. He needs a lover. A lover like YOU.
~
>Next.
Perfection. You can almost hear the Food Bard say, whoa, am I seeing double?? Haha, he always was the perfect gentleman. It suddenly occurs to you that now you'll have to eat twice as much Spam and beans every week, because you couldn't possibly eat only one at a time and reconstruct them individually, in alternating fashion. You couldn't bear to separate them. No, if one dies, they must die together, and then be reborn again. It's the only way you can live with yourself. You don't care if you throw up due to overconsumption of processed ham, as God as your witness, you will eat every last morsel of these Food Lovers in one sitting every single week.
~
>Next.
That was a good suggestion, and one which you found very therapeutic and healing. You make a note of Mari in your book, who strikes you as less of a demon, and more of an angel. You mark them under "Mirthful" and make a mental note to weirdly track them down some day and treat them to a great big smile.
~
>Jester: Check Bard Quest one more time, just to be safe.
The Rhapsodist deploys another annoying prompt from a demon named "Skyplayer". True to form, your cosmic guide is doing a great job simulating the shitty invasive thoughts you have to live with every day. Sure. OF COURSE you're going to check Bard Quest again. You only do it 1000 times a day, every day, one more mentally ill jab at that refresh button can't hurt, can it?

Guys turn the wall screen on it doesn't matter what channel
EDIT: Instead of just doing it all at once, they seem to be updating it page by page in a manner similar to how they used to update.No clue if this will affect The other 3 MSPA comics that aren't homestuck or not, or even the penny arcade forum comic sweet bro and hella jeff that later also got hosted and updated on the site. Please note all of those were pre-homestuck, and also pre-the shitty "mobile friendly" redesign and rebrand to homestuck.com of a few years ago that absolutely raped the appearance and functionality of the site. The fact it took them 6 or 7 years to decide to fix this shit is so fucking surreal, let alone on this day of all days.
EDITX2: i was out of it when seeing/writing this all and missed the third line somehow on the first read-through of the image. I'm gonna have to stay up today again with no sleep but that's another story unrelated to any of this and more just me having issues with natural nocturnal nature vs. needing to be up for normal human hours.
EDITX3
I just realized this retroactively became relevant in more ways than one.

Also around the time of this third edit, it's about an hour away from the first update rollout given they're going by EST... Hope you're ready for a lot of standing in a room!
