Yeah, most of the content should be in the flash so it's all anticipation for now. Honestly, I've been enjoying the regular panels since the pause ended, the Jade update was enjoyable, even with the god awful Davepeta. It's a shame there won't be more of them before the end, given that there's numerous other little plot lines and character stories that would benefit from some form of conclusion.

Karkat died trying to save Terezi during Game Over, where most of the cast died. Terezi then gave John, who had gained retcon powers, instructions to do something in the past to give them all another chance. One of those was to leave a message at her home saying "you don't need him", people still argue to whom that might refer.

Eventually, John knocked out Vriska, thus preventing her from getting killed by Terezi. This in turn lead to Vriska being alive during the meteor journey, and Terezi spending more time with her, not bothering with Karkat, Dave or Gamzee. It is heavily implied but not outright confirmed that DaveKat might have gotten a thing in that time.

The Terezi from before the retcon then died and wandered the dreambubbles, eventually reuniting with (Vriska), also from the pre retcon line, apparently either reestablishing moireliagiane (which is what their post retcon selves are also in) or red rom, it wasn't all that clear.

So, by the looks it was a potentially heavy nuke.

Surely she's a bit too much of an egomaniac to be a supporting character? Her whole skillset is tailored to hogging the spotlight, to use her in that way you'd have to tone her down early on.

Or set up a chapter to crush her ego entirely and/or give her character development, or even just screw her on a meta level by shifting focus away from her despite her best efforts.

As a writer, there's way more fun to have with her as a supporting character because she's essentially fighting you.

How the fuck is (Vriska) a cuck?
>>
>>81338154
That wasn't the case yesterday and Wednesday though.
>>
>>81337961
I think I can see where your coming from, having her act in a way similar to how she intended for when she interacted with Tavros, but actually pulling it off. A somewhat friendly rival who teaches you to deal with someone who tries to win in the cheapest ways possible, it'd certainly fit with Caliborne as an actual antagonist given his cheap scheme to try and win in the chess game with Calliope.

However, I think the problem with that comes back to her toolkit, her character is loaded with over the top abilities and characteristics that just let her pull the most ridiculous wins out of her arse. I'm just not sure how you'd have her being one upped without making her opponent an even more insufferable, over the top character. Her ego is pretty integral to her character, it's weird when a character's main trait is squashed as was the case with (Vriska) and arguable Karkat at present.

>screw her on a meta level by shifting focus away from her despite her best efforts
This would also just result in her character revolving around doing things for attention, and fuck characters like that.

I agree she could be used way better than she presently is, however I don't think those are the ways to do it without having her still play a primary role. Perhaps there's a way to have her in a primary role, but make it less prominent? That's my big issue with her post-retcon at least.
>>
>>81338205
Meenah ditched her to follow Vriska's plan which (Vriska) didn't want to.

It's not romantic, but I guess you could interpret it as cucking.

Oh I agree, I'm just saying there's some level of framework to go off of. That's not even including potential chemistry through personal characteristics.

I imagine most people would agree they work better as friends, I certainly enjoyed their interact as such early in the story.

I like Neo-Kosmos. It's pretty solid.
It feels almost like a movie in comic form, even though it's 800 pages it's a quick read. I think Shelby said it was like a 1/3 through, which feels about right.

I don't mind the art, the storyboard style panels are kind of strange, but it's like a nicer SU style (no line nostrils).

That's my problem. It wears its influences too much on its sleeve.

It looks too much like Steven Universe, follows a format that it doesn't use and or need, and has characters that, while having a good in-universe explanation as to why they were picked, feels too much like trying to score points with the diversity and progressive crowd.

Ava's Demon had nice art but I could never get into it for some reason.

The last bit I remember reading was when some woman was brought into a machine and all her flesh melted off or something.

Is it true the artist has tried to scrub all of her ties to Homestuck? I heard someone mention it in another thread.

it really does feel forced in this case, and i ain't even white. we got agender ambigously brown kid, agender black kid with vitiligo, and a white trans girl. at least i think they're a trans girl, might also be another agender.

Diversity doesn't bother me, and I think it uses the mspa format fine. I prefer it to regular comic formats.
The actual Homestuck and Steven Universe influences are the only thing that I really mind (those aliens are just crystal gems crossed with homestuck trolls), although when I first started reading, I thought it would be a preachy, boring 'uwu alien moms' thing, and it really wasn't that.

No Homestuck rip off can be as bad as Olympus Overdrive, anyway.

>You cannot just disregard one criticism because it does another thing well.
It depends of the criticism. I do not disregard it because it does something else well, I disreguard it because complaining about "pandering" is NOT a valid critic in the first place.

>To me this inclusion makes something that it wants to admire into a token.
That's not how token work, token is a minority character that is put there to fill a quota but is completely useless. (hence my previous comment who was about pointing out that those aren't Token)

> I wouldn't have made this complaint it this didn't come out at a time where there is a big diversity movement online.
A work is good or bad, regardless of the exterior context.

This is a mistake to evaluate a work in regard to elements that aren't part of it.

> I disreguard it because complaining about "pandering" is NOT a valid critic in the first place.

It is, because it means the author potentially doesn't really care about the story, but about audience appeal first. That can work well if it's a niche audience the author's interest overlaps with to begin with, but at the same time, it means that the author might be only a fairweather member that will change direction once they lose interest or find an audience more profitable.

I will give you the second point.

>A work is good or bad, regardless of the exterior context.
I didn't say it was good or bad, just that I wouldn't have made this complaint when the diversity movement wouldn't be a thing.

this is possible, but you just said yourself that it's actually well written, therefore complaining about pandaering isn't valid.

In either way, when someone don't care about the qualaity, it's not the pandering itself that is an issue, it's the fact that the writer didn't care about the quality. Pandering might be an indicator, but not a proof.

Like I said, in itself, there is nothing wrong with pandering, hence why all the people who complain about a character being sexy are morons.

> but at the same time, it means that the author might be only a fairweather member that will change direction once they lose interest or find an audience more profitable.
Only time will say if the author stick to his gun. But meanwhile, if he maintain quality, then that's all there need to be.

Something can be well written and yet pander, and you can look at these things independently.

I never said it wasn't the case, I said complaining about pandering isn't a valid critic.

No. never a good reason to complain. that a work is weak is a good reason. that it pander isn't.

>but I'm always wary of such things, hence why it only feels like that to me.
Maybe it's one of the reason I enjoy so much things /co/ complain about, but I always make a point to approach something with an honest heart and give the benefice of doubt rather than jumping on reason to not like something.
>>
>>81340294
My issue is when in the past people have been progressive, they have been because they reflect how the world actually is with it's diversity, but when all the characters are a niche that doesn't represent reality, it feels more like a special snowflake clubhouse.
