I like James Roach. This sounds like the best possible hands for Homestuck to be in, now.
Beyond Canon is weighed down by too much garbage to possibly become good (to me) but it's nice to see it moving again for those that like it.
Mostly does better things now. Key word mostly. Writes things, but you'll never find them. Or you can ask.James has made a news post.
Quite a bit of stuff here.
Important thing here is that James is planning on restarting the Patreon, but is also making it clear that all the money is going to the team rather than any third parties. The updates will also be on a fixed schedule and not tied to the amount of patrons, nor will there be any bonus updates for patrons. Money will go to the team first, and then eventually they will start reserving it be used to fund the sound pages.
I love that this update throws shade at the previous team. Like the Epilouges already alienated a lot of people, but the people who remained had no idea where the story was going for over a year.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.Vriska says to not let it get to you, but she's pretty much figured out that this whoooooooole timeline is phony. You know, inauthentic. Fake. Bogus even. She says it's somehow the off brand equivalent of a universe and she really hopes you kept the receipt. You assure her that both you and this timeline are in fact, real as shit. She doesn't seem convinced. She says it's mostly from the little things she's noticed. You ask like what, she's only been on this planet for like a day and a half. She gestures vaguely and tells you to give her a boost so she can reach that ventilation shaft.
That's.. actually basically the trainwreck I expected that Vriska would be like if she got it into her head to be a parent.
This has actually been pretty entertaining. I actually kind of want to read the leadup to this now?

Pesterquest and friendsim are coming to the switch

and because of the way the contracts were handled between the freelance labor and the publisher middlemen, the people who actually *made* the VNs ain't seeing jack diddly squat from the new releases https://shrike.club/@kate/111421552839345915

looks like viz no longer owns homestuck
Gonna copypaste what I said in the Discord for A Homestuck Podcast:
Given what that Tumblr post from Pip said earlier this year about how a bunch of the Patreon income was going to servicing a black hole of debt from the publication of the physical version of the Epilogues, wouldn't be surprised if Hussie or whoever's running What Pumpkin these days revoked the license due to Viz fucking them over

It wouldn't be homestuck if it made sense,right guys?
