- Looking to start reading Homestuck: Beyond Canon, but are intimidated by the amount of reading you need to do beforehand? Well, I'm assuming you read Homestuck so that's ridiculous, but no worries, I got you covered.
This video covers James Roach's news updates on the Homestuck 2 website, provides a summary of the epilogues, and goes over the major story beats so far in HS:BC! If you watch the whole thing, you should be caught up and ready to experience the updates as they come! This video is accurate as of March 4th, 2024, and no, I will not be making regular videos about the updates as they come out. While this video is a good place to start, I really think you should also read everything yourself eventually, as there may be small details I missed! That being said grab a Rice's Cup and a Pepis, and please enjoy!

Yeehaw brother
woah
Very well done! Someone on Reddit suggested that Jade captchalogued Candy!Dave's corpse, which is what was briefly seen poking out of her pocket in the latest update.
This is a very good summary video. Ive read all of the epilogues and beyond canon already but NOW I FINALLY UNDERSTAND WHERE THE HECK SOLLUX CAME FROM!!!!!!! I finished homestuck beyond canon two months before it started updating again by dumb luck so I'm the last person to need this video but it was still a very fun watch. I did not know about the little bonus stories though and i love them!!!!!!!
22:42 this is the most straightforward anyone has ever been
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The visuals of this are art of them selfs
I was not aware of the bonus comics and OMG Catnapped is actually perfect?!! Also cute?!?!
The Influencers are SOOO WOAH!! I need more!!
A Threat Sensed gives me more Dirk content, which I actually live for. I don't have a favorite character but if I did it would be Dirk ykwim? Also yeah wth is up with Yiffy lmao.
I'm always happy for any content with Dad, and also WV so all of these side stories were so perfect.
@@I_SWEAR_IM_NOT_LYING REAL
@@Antiling_the_Squidkid Which comment is real? There are a lot rofl
The Zacian fact was absolutely perfect.
I love this! The visuals and narration make tying all this stuff together a lot easier. Thanks for the double recap!
Recently got into/finished homestuck but haven’t started the epilogues
This has really helped me ease into it thank you so much!!!
Yeah, as someone who was in your same boat a few months back Postcanon is infinitely easier to read after already knowing all the crazy stuff that happens and you're able to appreciate some of the actual good writing
(though I also only read it after consuming a bunch of fanfics that were majorly ooc like CSAU so it was also kinda a breathe of fresh air in comparison lol)
Waited a while and now it’s finally here 😎😎😎 super excited to watch it
Homestucks eating good?? Haven't thought that in a long while (Currently only a few minutes into vid)
Im supa hyped for this, i cant watch it rn but I will when i get home!! Im already caught up but this is a great refresher
hi hs team and others, ive read og homestuck and the epilogues. also other spinoff stuff. but ive yet to touch hs2. i know theres been some harsh criticism over it, but i am looking forward to its completion. thank you for all your hard work and stay positive? have a good day everyone.
oh my gosh the dirk adjacent artwork
1:10:33 I would argue that she is talking to Dead John there, which is in a round about way talking to the audience but ehhh
Thank youuuu
Homestuck makes me so happy
nice :]
Genuinely one of the best things Andrew Hussie has done for the community, if not THE best
👏👏👏👏
Also: the bio-alcamey thing was what was under the tarp?? I swore it had to be one of those cherub portals...
I may have preemptively assumed this! It very well may be a cherub portal
homestuck
Fuck dude, it sure is
@@CalsCalzones yes
im 0 minutes in but i just know this video slays
Is anyone going to talk about that fact started clapping jade cheeks man 33:38
I just started building a fan game……. FuuuuuuUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
8:11 I am actually confused whyt hey got rid of ^2 cuz it's 2 different continutations of homestuck at once. the same way davepetasprite^2 and Jasprosesprtie^2 work
I speculate that the change was to create a clear differentiation between the original HS2 story and this continuation of it. I also agree that the original name was great for what the story was!
Beeg
I have always believed that Jane's political shit should've been focused on her trauma from being forced to kill Roxy. Have her be focused on a fear that a newly born fuschia could become a new )(IC. Also also, if they were going to do the dual timeline gimmick then Jane should've been a hero in the meat timeline. Dirk is her best friend and he just fucked off and ruined shit, she should have tagged along to stop him. Having her fall to fascism in one timeline but reforming herself in the other would be a great way to show how people change depending on the events in their lives.
(Also: Roxy is a trans woman, though i can admit that it is just a difference in how i read her as a character in homestuck proper. I've literally read her as a trans woman since she was first introduced)
junebugging... TWO!
i love that they added canon trans rep but it really shut downs other headcanons :( i've had my transmasc john headcanon for 6+ years, im not ready to let that go for june
@esotericpince they did confirm Roxy's gender across all timelines since she is capable of having biological children and talks to John about her feelings on gender in Candy.
And while I can see that idea, I do think that it is an inevitability that any story that actually writes about these characters in a realistic way will kill some headcanons. Even if I don't agree with all of them, if it makes sense in text then I can support it. I personally don't think transmasc Roxy makes sense in text, but it's not too bad. One that I think would be completely wrong with the info in text is transfem Jane. Jane is either a he/him cis(ish) butch, or a trans man and interpreting him as a trans woman would undermine a lot of her identity.
For John, I personally don't see him as transmasc at all. Of course it doesn't matter when it comes to personal headcanons or writing your own fan fiction, but if it was in canon I don't think it would be very compelling as a part of the character
@@CalamitasCalliope yeah for sure i agree with you. i dont take narrative arcs and storytelling into consideration when i make my headcanons, i just have a lot of nostalgia and see myself in him :3 its been so long since ive read the epilogues lol, only read the recap since i read it in full on the day they released
@@esotericpince yeah that's a mood
Oh, did andrew hussi pull a george Lucas and give his series to someone better so that ot lives on?
the 08/10 update ruined my sunday (joke)
sure let's see what this shitshow is going on about! who know maybe they'll fix the VERY TERRIBLE CHARACTERIZATIONS in the next upd8s, with the new team and all.
57:35 No uterus 🤨😯
content warning for fictional sexual assult mentions in my comment
Like you said, writing murder does not mean condoning murder. The epilogues are a deliberately adult and challenging polemical text. Keeping adult themes in there for shock value is a big part of their identity. You do not, of course, have to like that. You can argue that it goes too far. But the artistic intent is to provoke - not just to annoy or trigger people, but to depict complex and unpleasant situations for the sake of complicating its adult cast and story and themes.
There is a perception in modern internet discourse that stories need to be squeaky clean about sensitive topics or avoid them altogether. This is understandable if you are looking to a text as a source of moral guidance. Lots of stories for young people, particularly cartoons, are popular online, and discussions rightfully include commentary about what is and is not appropriate to depict. But the homestuck epilogues are not trying to be that. They are deliberately messy. They don't want to give clear moralising answers, they want you to come to your own conclusions about stuff.
James isn't saying it will be okay everyone will have a redemption arc and it will be a purely happy ending. At least, I assume he's not. Jane in the epilogues is not really intended to be redeemable. She's a thinly veiled trump analogue. What he is saying is that the story will try to deal with the themes that exist in a reasonable way. I don't get the impression that james is intending to make a challenging text, as the epilogues were trying to do, rightly or wrongly. He probably is going to treat this stuff as sensitively as he can. That's the impression I get. It's a different approach, not necessarily better or worse, but certainly rounding off some of the harsher elements of the epilogues and to a lesser extent hs2. But this is still, fundamentally, building off an adult story with adult themes. I don't think they're ever going to break the fourth wall and tell us that sexual assault is wrong.
Some stuff is frivolous even for homestuck. Yiffy's name can be seen as tasteless and I'm sympathetic to that but it's worth remembering that she's a fictional character in an adult story and that isn't inherently wrong. Do I think it's stupid, yes I do because I don't see it as in character for her to be named that by her parents. But still, the story is not saying it is right and good that she's named that - the joke is at the expense of the parents.
