This podcast is almost as convoluted as the webcomic its based on - we love it! Topics covered include game mechanics, visual storytelling, and Andrew Hussie being a complete nutjob.
It also baffles me every time I realize things I thought were mysteries were actually literally explained to me in the comic, but I didn’t get it because I was “reading” the comics as in youtube videos (which was the only way my husband got me to consume this media. We did go on to read it once we ran out of videos though). It’s fun to listen to because it’s basically what we did - Gabriel already knew this absolutely INSANE piece of media and Paula was a fool to get sucked into it.
Starting from Act 5, the comic is frequently said to be operating in the way of a melodrama. Since the podcast goes in-depth on many topics, I can only wonder - will an analysis of Lorde’s 2017 album, Melodrama, be included in the bonus episodes? Also: how much will Cameron flip out once we reach Act 6?? We will be here when that happens.
Gabriel (long time Homestuck fan) and Paula (still can’t believe she finished it)
