** The Dolorosa sets a stand-out example of connection with the Sufferer, in that they have an extremely strong and loving mother/son dynamic, with the Sufferer being able to identify hear as his parent with no awkwardness (well, none caused by/directed at her) only affection and gratitude, when time and again in Homestuck proper, we see Alternians and Beforans of all walks and after extended contact with humans, being completely unable to grasp the concept of familial bonds.

* At the end of the comic, the Underlings arrive and [[TitleDrop crash the Consort's party]]. It looks like things are about to go to hell, until a Lich... raises its hand and stops them. The next panel shows the Underlings and Consorts partying together rather than fighting. It's nice that the Underlings are shown to be not as bad as they seem here.

This is an OnlySaneMan preaching to a people so ConditionedToAcceptHorror that they forget that their ruler's cult of personality is mandatory on pain of death, where his title as Sufferer initially came from the frustration and seeming-futility of trying to talk them out of this mindset, and he displays no sarcasm or loss of temper in his sessions.

-->A young reader stands in a webcomic. A brand new webcomic, to be exact. One that has launched on the 5th anniversary of Homestuck's first page. If the thirteenth of April holds a magical place in your heart, then chances are, you are on pins and needles waiting for me to post the end of the story. It will still be quite some time before that happens. I've had too much else going on to be able to attack the remaining content with the ferocity that has been characteristic of my update schedule over the years. It is nothing short of The Greatest Tragedy that a beloved story is held hostage to the ability of a single artist to continue creating it. Which brings us to the website called Paradox Space, and the chapter it will represent in Homestuck's extended life cycle.
-->As I work on finishing the story, I tend to think a lot about where Homestuck as a creative property goes from here. It's hard to ignore the fact that it has turned into something much bigger than just a long, crazy story on the internet. It has a lot of fans, and there's a whole culture surrounding it. Friendships have been made, lives have been changed, or so people tell me. Those who like HS are extremely fond of the characters, yet those characters are trapped - "stuck" if you will - inside a very particular narrative, which itself has been at the mercy of my ability to produce it. So when I think about the future of Homestuck, I envision projects which liberate the things people love about it from the story itself, and most importantly, from my intensive personal effort.
-->So this website is the first major step in that direction. Here is the idea:
-->Paradox Space will feature many short comic stories involving literally any characters and settings from Homestuck. Any point in canon could be visited and elaborated on, whether it's backstory, some scenes that were skipped over or alluded to, funny hypothetical scenarios which have nothing to do with canon events, or exploring things that could have happened in canon through the "doomed timeline" mechanic that is a defining trait of Homestuck's multiverse-continuum known as "paradox space". There is a WHOLE LOT of fun stuff we can do here; and we will!
-->The idea is also to get a lot of different artists and writers involved. It's going to be a major team effort. Occasionally I will write some comic scripts, particularly at the onset to help get this off the ground. But I'd like that to be the exception rather than the rule. I think it will be exciting to see how a talented pool of creators can work within the HS universe, and what they will bring to these characters. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see who's contributing so far. I guarantee that list of names will expand considerably in the months ahead.
-->And a quick shout-out to those I regard as the core contributors of Paradox Space. Rachel and Kory, who are the managing editors of the content. Tauhid, who designed this sick website. And Matt, who coded this sick website. These people worked very hard to get this site up and running. They did a great job.
-->Paradox Space updates with a new page every weekday, starting this week. Next update is Tuesday, with the first page of another short story. What's it gonna be?? Believe me when I say these arcs can involve anything and anyone.
-->The first story was drawn by Zack Morrison, who is a super solid comic maker. You should take a look at his webcomic when you get the chance. It's really good! I'm not even "just sayin" that either. Why do ya think we asked him to make the first comic?? Dude's great. ;-] [[/note]]
