Bro, i totally felt the same way. Joined the sub after i saw cascade and flipped the fuck out, then saw the epispoilers and didnt come back till i caught up.

Now, im sad that i caught up :(

[–]waywardVagabond/realityDreamer I LIKE NEPETA.OutcastOcarina64 5 points6 points ago

It does suck, doesn't it? Now we wait for updates like starving hounds wait for scraps of meat flung everywhere by our great master, The Huss.

[–]Captain_Sparky 7 points8 points ago

The annoying thing is, after you catch up, you'll still feel left out for a while because you'll see all these nuanced discussions about "obvious" details that went right over your head :P

[–]afrokid251 4 points5 points ago

Right. I'd wait a while before posting all those SWEET CATCHES you think you made, or you'll probably be seeing a lot of Sorry I Thought It Was Obvious.

[–]technologicallyAdeptRangerSix 0 points1 point ago

...I am surprised that "Sorry, I Thought It Was Obvious" is not a trope.

[–]Monk of MindZurr 0 points1 point ago

I think it used to be.

[–]technologicallyAdeptRangerSix 0 points1 point ago

Well, it doesn't seem to have joined the Permanent Red Link Club...

[–]Crispy_Steak 3 points4 points ago

Catch up, I challenge you to catch up before I do, Im re-reading through PS and shit----> homestuck in entirety.

[–]properzombie[S] 8 points9 points ago

I might catch up before you. I only have about 500 pages left in act 5. I think homestuck is the only context in which I have ever said, "only 500 pages."

[–]loathsomeIndividualbenzrf 9 points10 points ago

Let us know whether Cascade makes you barf rainbows or not, okay?

Also, I strongly suggest reading Andrew's tumblr posts on Cascade after watching it. They help a LOT.

[–]SometimesATroll 1 point2 points ago

Where would I find said posts? I don't want to have to dig through archives.

[–]videogamesizzle 4 points5 points ago

I did the digging for you!

You can find the posts on all of the EOA5 animations on this page.

[–]You just started some SICK FIRES BROFridgeLogic42 1 point2 points ago

This is Hussie's tumblr. It's also on the list of resources on the right side of the r/homestuck screen.

I'll also link the archive of his defunct Formspring account.

I'm sure one of these resources will no doubt provide you with the answers you seek.

[–]TikiTDO 1 point2 points ago

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say "Let us know when Cascade makes you barf rainbows."

[–]loathsomeIndividualbenzrf 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, probably.

[–]thoughtdancer 2 points3 points ago

Make a Cascade reaction video: those were really fun to watch.

[–]Tenauri 6 points7 points ago

Be careful! You wouldn't want to have certain things spoiled, like how Karkat and John fuse into one body in order to fight Dark!Sollux, or how Jack Noir gets alchemized with the Cosbytop to form the main villain, Jack Cosby.

But boy, when you get to Act 6, lemme just tell you...I hope you like Nepeta.

[–]properzombie[S] 2 points3 points ago

but, she is... but I thought... derse and prospit.... oh what?!

[–]OccamsAxe 0 points1 point ago

I thought it was the Crosbytop.

[–]traipseCourageouslytemjin_ 1 point2 points ago

Just take a week and finish it, man

[–]thestrider251 0 points1 point ago

If youre on act 5 u probably shouldnt be on this subreddit

[–]SoIHeardYouLiek 1 point2 points ago

Samee. I'm almost done with Act 4. I want to catch up but I don't at the same time. I'd hate to have to wait for the updates haha.

[–]loathsomeIndividualbenzrf 2 points3 points ago

Don't worry; you're nowhere near catching up. Act 5 is absurdly long (as is 6, to a degree).

[–]SoIHeardYouLiek 0 points1 point ago

Yeah I know. Act 5 is 2 parts eh?

[–]loathsomeIndividualbenzrf 0 points1 point ago

Yep. Act 5 Act 1 is probably worth one act, and Act 5 Act 2 is probably worth 2-3.

Also, forgot to say in my previous comment: I felt exactly the way you do about catching up, but it has significant benefits. Such as getting to discuss every update at length as it comes out.

[–]SoIHeardYouLiek 1 point2 points ago

Oh jeez. Seriously? Lovely...

Yeah that's why I want to but I'd hate havin to wait. Everytime an update comes out I'm like read none of the things. D:

[–]loathsomeIndividualbenzrf 1 point2 points ago

You get used to it.

Same as any other comic whose archive you read through.

Anyway, refreshing MSPA gives you something to do when you're bored.

[–]SoIHeardYouLiek 0 points1 point ago

I suppose. Although this is the first thing of this kind I've read online. Webcomics I guess. Haha I bet.

[–]loathsomeIndividualbenzrf 0 points1 point ago

Alright.

Point is, at first the slowness of updates is practically painful, but you get used to it. I guess it's kinda like your perception of it changes or something? I dunno

[–]SoIHeardYouLiek 0 points1 point ago

I wasn't arguing with you or anything? I'm sure it does.

[–]loathsomeIndividualbenzrf 0 points1 point ago

okay

[–]PerogiXW -1 points0 points ago

Get off this subreddit and go read! You have so much in store...

[–]properzombie[S] 0 points1 point ago

I cant read for another 10 hours. I am in vegas right now, and my laptop is borked. I have my ipad, but i am in that flash happy part of act 5

[–]PerogiXW 0 points1 point ago

Damn you apple! If you're in vegas than you're probably busy, but if you get a free moment and want to read it you can always enter the names of the flashes on youtube and watch them there.

[–]properzombie[S] 0 points1 point ago

I wish i could. I was only able to find one flash like this. Have to wait till tonight, but because of jet lag, i will be wide awake at 12am

[–]PerogiXW 0 points1 point ago

Which flash are you at?

[–]properzombie[S] 0 points1 point ago

[S] Flip

[–]properzombie[S] 0 points1 point ago

Finally home, and I am reading again

[–]Crispy_Steak 0 points1 point ago

yay!

[–]MrShoe321 -1 points0 points ago

I know how it is
