#which is why i fricking love homestuck i think; it's the first webcomic i read that actually fucking finished

[rnoonsetter]

i go through cycles of trying to write comics and never succeeding

#dear listeners #its not just homestuck i've been a huge fan of webcomics all my life #i was a huge fan of pokemon hard mode back in the day and i still really like a lot of comics inspired by it (and homestuck but i hadnt read #it at the time i read those ones) #uh the shit by ben saint has been amazing as always #although he hasn't updated anything i liked in AGES #vapors ch3 was kinda subpar of i'm being honest #if* #i haven't read any of slime and punishment if i'm being honest; i don't think it's really my style #honestly i'd love more vapors but it must be super emotionally intensive to write #though champion was always my favourite #it looked to be something with a huge amount of potential; id kill for another chapter hoenstly #oh and yeah i really liked speedrun while it was going even if it didn't last long #tbh i never got into spacecat #other than ben saint/nuz i never got into plot driven comics really #which is why i fricking love homestuck i think; it's the first webcomic i read that actually fucking finished??? #i did read some nuzlocke spinoffs but i didn't get to far on most of them; they were really lacking the humour aspect #oh i read a bit of what hippo did but honestly i didn't really like them. they had way too much mystery way too early and the art style was #pretty bad if i'm being honest #i expect him to improve but it'll take a while #say what you want about hussie's art but at least it didn't look downright ugly #and fyi i really liked husnasty mode soooooo yeah

Homestuck^2 - Catnapped (Part 2) Reaction

Page 9:

Holy CRAP!

Wow, there's a lot to address here again...

First of all, nobody ever saw Jasprose here on Earth C. Yeah, now that you mention it, the only time we ever saw her on this planet was in that Halloween snap together with Gcatavros, and that seemed to be a pretty isolated place somewhere.

Why did she never show herself though? What has she been doing these 7 years??

"Returned to her rightful role as Queen", ha! Probably referring to how all the Creators were crowned upon their arrival on Earth C. She didn't get crowned herself, but does consider herself that because she was with the Creators.

"Fefeta's Reach", d'aww. She lives on in the name of this place. I wonder, did Roxy name this place upon their arrival here, or has it existed for much longer?

It's really interesting to see the Carapians' side of the story here! The Candy Epilogue mostly focuses on the Trolls' issues with Jane, but here we see the Carapacians don't like it either. At least in this version of events.

And of COURSE they accepted Jasprose as their queen. These people did originate from a monarchy after all, haha.

Alright, so Ataxia isn't really on the side of the Trolls in this matter. That's unfortunate. :(

Swifer!!! :D

I definitely didn't expect to see her pop up here! But yeah, I'd been wondering how she'd be doing in this timeline, without Kanaya or Karkat by her side.

But looks like she's gotten a VERY significant role and will fill Kanaya's place in trying to negotiate with Jane? Holy shit! :O

The "Old Post Office" building. Something that PM once built, perhaps?

I wonder, those "popular historical journals", when Rose wrote those and provided them to society. Was that 5000 years ago before they moved to the future, so that society would grow up with their history from the beginning? Or is it more recent?

I'd like to think she already provided those journals right then 5000 years ago.

Page 10:

Oooooh, look at this scene!

I like how there's a painting there of Rose, Kanaya, Calliope and Roxy, the ones crowned in this kingdom.

Oh boy, looks like Jasprose isn't just trying to get ride of Jane as president, but trying to get rid of the ENTIRE GOVERNMENT.

Oh man, this is going to get surprisingly political. But I love that Jasprose is taking up the fight.

She's probably got knowledge of what her B2 self got up to, and the corrupted society that came from The Condesce.

And that Rose definitely put up a great fight against the batterwitch, and looks like Jasprose is looking to continue that!

Cliper!!! The guy with Swifer here is Cliper! :O

The same guy who was mentioned during the Candy Epilogue, who was part of Karkat's rebellion but was sent to the camps!

Oh man, I didn't think we'd be seeing anymore of that guy!

"I know a red flag when I see it"

...

*scrolls back up to panel*

*sees Carapacian holding red flag*

Goddammit. xD

Page 11:

Yes, Jane is the red flag. It helps that she's also conveniently dressed in red, haha.

I wonder if Jasprose has knowledge of what happened / would happen in the Candy timeline, where Jane basically led the planet into war?

That could definitely inspire her even more to take this sort of stance.

I like how she doesn't immediately want to simply remove Jane from the picture all together, but would rather advise her into becoming a better leader.

Three pillars, eh? Well, at least they're not truth, essential and relevance, ahahaha.

Gotta love the Midnight Crew reference. Women, wine, and song.

Cliper has a clipboard, oh my fricking GOD. I love that.

Page 12:

Oh shit, she's summoning a fenestrated wall!

Right, that was one of her abilities! Almost forgot about that!

But... what is it showing?

Is it... a view on the Candy world? To show Jane what her actions could lead to? :O

Page 13:

....OH GOD. They went THROUGH the fenestrated wall.

That's one hell of a giant wal, haha.

Where the HECK will they end up?

I swear to god, if I didn't know Catnapped had 3 parts (at least), I'd almost have thought it would end here and they'd next show up in Homestuck^2 somewhere in the Candy world, haha.

*sees next command*

PROBLEM SLEUTH^2 ?????????

HOLY HELL

I...

WOW

Probably just a jokey reference referring to how Jasprose is going to sleuth this problem, but still, hahahaha.

Page 14:

WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

HOLY SHIT

WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING THIS. WE'RE ACTUALLY MAKING THIS HAPPEN.

What does this even MEAN?? Problem Sleuth, the character, EXISTS somewhere in the Homestuck multiverse then... but where???

Are we gonna see the Midnight Crew? Is this somehow on Alternia during the Exile time?

SO MANY QUESTIONS

And... what the fuck is going to happen now??? Is Jasprose going to telephone him??? xD

Is... it taking place in the future of the Problem Sleuth webcomic? There's some small but noticeable differences in the decorating of the office, and the narration of the first page of Problem Sleuth (just checked).

I suddenly understand jack shit.

Page 15:

A NEW touch-tone telephone, a NEW computer (...which we don't actually see here). Things we definitely never saw in the original Problem Sleuth comic.

Holy shit, this is DEFINITELY making some implications.

Page 16:

IT'S MIDNIGHT CITY.

Perpetually midnight though... that can't be Alternia, right? It could also be daytime over there.

And there's Jasprose appearing, and what the shiiiiiiiit

Page 17:

HOPY SHIIIIIIIIIIT

It's a replica of page 10 of Problem Sleuth!!! Except, "long night AGAIN".

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

MY MIND. IT IS PRESENTLY. BEING BLOWN.

Page 18:

RETIRED PROTAGONIST. ACE DICK WITH A YACHT. I CANNOT DEAL. THIS IS PERFECTION.

I'M SORRY BUT I'M JUST PERPETUALLY FANBOYING OVER THIS ENTIRE SCENE RIGHT NOW

Page 19:

Awwwwwwwww.... looks like that's the end of the PS interlude. xD

Oh god, look at how they're drawn, it's in a PS-esque style, I love it.

Wait a second... is that Ace Dick next to Jake?? :O

I love how Jasprose is drinking milk.

Ah... and this brings me right back to those "OH PSYCHE" moments in earlier parts of Homestuck.

Page 20:

Another theme change! :D

I love how the martini glasses are now at the top of the page.

Confirmation that Jasprose knows what's going on in the Candy timeline!

There's no way she didn't mention the "redemption arc" on purpose there either, hahaha.

Oh man, go Jasprose. Let's hope it works and gets Jane on a straight path again, before it's too late.

Page 21:

Pfffff, Jasprose seductively licking the milk.

Ooooh, I love Swifer here. It gives us some more deep insight into her character! More than we've seen from her in the Candy path, at least.

So Kanaya's considered a Matriarch... what exactly is that supposed to mean? The main caretaker of the Mother Grub?

I'm wondering if perhaps SWIFER herself will be the one to talk to Jane, and try to get her to see the other side of the story?

And oooooh, so Jasprose also knew about Dirk's powers then.

Is she gonna try to make Jane see how much Dirk influenced her into doing this?

Page 22:

OH SHIT IT'S DAD

I didn't expect we'd see Dad here!!!!

Oh man, he must have read about Jane's disappearance and that she was taken here, and wanted to try and save his little girl!!!

N'aww... :)

Oh boy... is he going through the wall and also end up over there??? Is he going to meat Problem Sleuth??? Is abundantChewtoys right that he ends up with the Midnight Crew and that the "Diamonds, Dames and Dads" story is a spin-off from this one??? What the shiiiiiiiiit

I'm loving the hell out of this, this is SO worth the money.

Page 23:

MOTHER OF GOD I'M DYING

THIS IS ONE HELL OF AN EPIC PAGE.

Dad drawn in Problem Sleuth style... REFERENCE TO MOM AND HER "A mother will dow what is best for her children".

I'M TEARING UP.

THIS IS PERFECTION

I didn't know what to expect from this story. But dang. This is AMAZING.

I love, love LOVE this, and am highly anticipating to see where it goes next.

As it happens, part 3 is already available, and YOU CAN BET YOUR ASS THAT WE'LL CONTINUE READING THIS TOMORROW.
