Homestuck Made This World

Despite CMRN’s Purported distaste for so called “Gushers Humour” in this podcast, the astute ranged touch listener will note that in episode ten of Mages and Murderdads, he explicitly makes a Gushers joke in reference to Balthazar consuming health potions. Paired with the fact that the very same episode also includes a Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff “I told you about stairs bro” reference, I am beginning to think that there is more going on here than we realise. Who was Past CMRN? And who is present CMRN? Is all of this leading up so some big gut punch of a convoluted reveal? Stick around and find out.

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)
