Homestuck/Awesome

> FONDLY REGARD CORONATION

It's quite exquisite.

Act 1

 * John's first strife. Amped up by the music accompanying it
 * The first EOA., that kickstarted the awesomeness.

Act 2

 * "John: Ride Slimer pogo and one-up that imp." Somehow not impeded in the least by the fact he falls off shortly after.
 * Screw that: You got the POGO HAMMER.
 * Even better: You make the WRINKLEFUCKER.
 * Just to reiterate: the POGO HAMMER is a sledgehammer where each side of the head is connected to springs. The WRINKLEFUCKER is the POGO HAMMER, but instead of having the sides of the head on each spring, it has 2 RED FOT HUCKING IRONS!
 * TT: "John, I'm about to throw a bath tub through your wall."
 * Gets a Call Back in Hivebent.
 * Dave: Burst out of the puppet pile like "the one".
 * DUDE DODGE!
 * WV: Ascend.

Act 3

 * Enter.
 * The fact that Dave's brother is so unbelievably fast that he is not only winning the fight with Dave by ninja-dodging Dave's attacks, but is essentially using Lil Cal to fight BY PROXY.
 * [S Rose: Ascend.] John, Rose and Nannasprite teaming up to defeat the Crude Ogres is possibly the most badass thing ever.
 * John: High Five Nannaquin
 * Becquerel's first proper appearance, where he shows off his Reality Warper powers.

Intermission

 * Snowman's first appearance.
 * [I HB: Attempt to eat Eggs.]

Act 4

 * Grampa gets one when he saves John and reveals he's not so dead after all. BLAM.
 * Rose v. Lime Ogre. STRIFE!
 * And now Dave is getting back in on the action. Appeared out of NOWHERE with a major level in badass and has already hit his fifth gate. For the record, John has only progressed past his first with Sequence Breaking. Of course, it becomes slightly less awesome when you realize this is like four months in his future. And it's a Bad Future.
 * Which is, in turn, slightly alleviated by the fact he can now Flash Step so quickly he can appear in three places at once. And he kills a Ruby Giclops in what we can only presume is ONE SWING.
 * Don't forget where he goes back in time to help himself andcreate the Davesprite, which is EPICNESS ON A STICK.
 * Basically, the right way to understand all of the above is that it isn't a CMOA for Dave that is somehow diminished by the mentioned extenuating circumstances. It's a completely legitimate CMOA and a badass origin story for Davesprite.
 * The big 4/13/10 update has definitely lived up to reader expectations: Jack Noir, having had enough of the stupid costumes that were forced on him, uses Jade's gift to John to tear the Black Queen to pieces, then takes her ring for himself. Meanwhile, Dad, Mom and Bro attack three of the largest and most powerful enemies yet encountered, and flatten them effortlessly.
 * And that's not even the update originally planned for 4/13.
 * Go Jade!
 * ADDITIONAL PUMMELING. (DEAD GRANDPA SMACKDOWN.) SWEET. CATCH.
 * [S WV?: Rise up.]
 * Seriously, if you need a non-spoilery scene to prove to a potential reader how good Hussie can make his big scenes, this is it. By the time it makes sense they'll have forgotten it, but they won't be able to deny it looks cool as hell.
 * WELCOME TO THE PARTY MOTHERFUCKERS
 * And revisited with imagined troll!Rose (the actual equivalent picture is in the Descend animation)
 * Andrew himself gets one for the 5/19 update wherein many babies are created. To clarify, he moved the day of the update and still got it up. And it was so amazing that within 20 minutes the host server began CRASHING. In 20 MINUTES. FOR A NON-FLASH UPDATE. This is also despite the fact he has upgraded his server numerous times.
 * He one upped it with the Act 5 opener. The servers crashed within FIVE. FUCKING. MINUTES. OF HIM POSTING IT.
 * [S John: Reunite with your loving wife and daughter.]
 * [S Descend.] This was the original anniversary flash and it SHOWS.
 * Some moments which stand out include Bro cutting a meteor in half and Jack slaughtering both armies on Skaia singlehandedly (literally), followed by Bro dueling him to a standstill.
 * While riding on a huge record... a vinyl record... that flies... over a sea of lava...
 * JACK FUCKING SHATTERS PROSPIT.
 * Dream Jade diving after Dream John, slapping him awake while falling to Skaia, and eventually throwing him out of danger and dying.
 * She take a fucking meteor for him!
 * It's actually the Moon of Prospit. That makes it even more awesome.
 * Dave ascending to his first gate.
 * Rose screws the rules and blows up her gate. Then flies off on her own.
 * Note that Bro cuts the red meteor in half...right before Dave's red EGG cracks.
 * Everything about this page for Rose, especially in conjunction with the events of [S] Descend that it put in proper context. Even aside from the Badass Boast of "No one can tell me our fate can't be repaired", there is also the sheer badassery of the way she ripped her walkthrough out of the Internet with magic and sealed it in a server in the Furthest Ring. And the casual comment immediately after that. And a sparkling magic signature that I'm pretty sure most normal people can't insert in their Gamefaqs walkthroughs.
 * And it ends up in the past, for Kanaya / grimAuxiliatrix to read. See Troll Rose above.
 * In this update, PM? demonstrates to us using the freakin' Hegemonic Brute why you should not fuck with the mail.
 * Check.
 * Another public servant makes a sacrifice. A citizen's safety, secured. Keep in mind the Aimless Renegade has never seen John or anyone like him before, does not know who, or how important, he is. And he gives up his own SWEET RIDE to save this stranger.
 * Not only his SWEET RIDE, but essentially his only chance of escaping the crashing meteor.

Act 5 Act 1
"You try to be the white text guy, but fail to be the white text guy. No one can be the white text guy except for the white text guy."
 * "You take your WALKING CANE, which you use as a weapon kind of like Earth Daredevil who you've never heard of. You will use it to wallop enemies when you enter the Medium." Like this.
 * Karkat telling AG exactly why she sucks. This came immediately after a flashback of AG crossing the Moral Event Horizon and left most of the fanbase cheering him on.
 * Immediately after he chews her out and logs off, he spontaneously logs back in, due to aG's mind-control powers. However, that very act, as well as her less-than-convincing rebuttal, only proves Karkat's point that she's nowhere near as manipulative as she thinks she is, and has to use her mind powers to get anyone to do what she wants.
 * ROBO SLAP!
 * We have been shown that Terezi is the best manipulator of the trolls, even without psychic powers, but her best moment was when she manipulated a Physical God into getting revenge on Vriska for her. Begins here.
 * The best part is when the calm and collected Doc Scratch flips the fuck out. Like so.
 * Although he's not flipping out because of Terezi's manipulation, more because Vriska has control of an immensely powerful artefact which his omniscience did not cover; it's debatable to what extent this is manipulation or striking against a common enemy.
 * Then, of course, there is how the aforementioned Physical God is introduced. So far, we've been able to take control of every being ever to appear in Homestuck, Problem Sleuth, or what have you, including Godhead Pickle Inspector. This guy, though?

"AG: In the meantime, how a8out I serve my client player the way I think is 8est, and you can do the same for yours???????? GA: Hmm GA: I Thought I Was"
 * All the Kids and presumably the trolls spend a while getting integrated with the game. Equius takes five minutes, AND THEN FUCKING JUMPS INTO HIS GATE. WHICH IS STILL HUNDREDS OF FEET IN THE AIR! AND PUNCHES A GIANT ENEMY'S HEAD OFF!!
 * He then reaches and enters his second gate on the very next page (hell, just figuring out where it is that fast should be an accomplishment, rather less reaching it). And whereas Davesprite pointed out that John's early crossing of his second gate before Rose had time to build up would've left him a pancake if he didn't have a jetpack, Equius wasn't even fazed by the drop.
 * One more testament to his strength: His lusus is supposedly one of the physically strongest types on the planet. Said lusus bruises when Equius pats him on the head and the boy laments that he seems to be made of glass. (Cue Orcus jokes)
 * Terezi's faux court case. At the end she offers the 'criminal' the old Two-Face coin toss to determine his innocence. It comes up heads. But Terezi had no intention of following through - she can't see the coin because she's blind.
 * Kanaya presents a floating reminder that Tavros will need plenty of inclined surfaces for his ascent.

"DD: Atta girl."
 * Vriska then makes it even more awesome. Instead of building ramps, she gets some rocket shoes. Tavros alchemizes a ROCKET CHAIR. His Leitmotif makes a lot more sense now.
 * Jack slicing himself...for good reasons, of course.
 * Aradia kissing Equius after ripping out the chip that made her love him.
 * Eridan's introduction is suitably awesome.
 * Well, it specifically says "Eridan: Do something awesome". Is Hussie trying to tell us that he reads this site?
 * Hes aware of TV Tropes existence and links TV Tropes casually on the forum.
 * And then it's revealed that it was someone's lusus.
 * Sollux sacrificing himself to get Feferi into the Medium. Crosses over with Tear Jerker, Crowning Moment of Heartwarming, and, well, everything else.
 * Sollux dies. But he then goes to his dreamself. But what's this? He is a special case, having two dreamselves. He then proceeds to blow up Clubs Deuce's exile ship, CENTURIES INTO THE FUTURE. BY GETTING ANGRY. He then shoots from Derse, to his Land, and that's it. Well, for now.
 * Nepeta lands a beheading x2 combo on a bicyclops prototyped ogre.
 * [S Make her pay.] For basically everyone involved.
 * Aradia and Vriska most especially. Everyone gets a nice little moment of badass, but it's mostly about Vriska either a) Mindcontrolling Terezi BY DOUBLE PROXY to stare into the sun or b) Getting the everloving shit kicked out of her BEATEN TO DEATH
 * And as a side note: the art is absolutely GORGEOUS.
 * And right after that:


 * SLAP.
 * Hey, remember that incredibly monstorous Black King we saw a few pages ago? Yeah, it turns out THEY BEAT HIM. Combining their powers, Aradia and Sollux turn the Black King's own meteors against him, and Vriska scores a lucky dice roll (16,777,216:1, actually) that finally shatters the Black King's staff. It's also implied that every one of the trolls had the uber end-game weapons and used them, although it's not actually shown.
 * Andrew has outright stated that every completed Sburb session creates an entire universe! Including ours!

Act 5 Act 2
"TT: To do as much damage to the game as possible. TT: To rip its stitches and pry answers from the seams. TT: We will snatch purpose from the jaws of futility. TT: Are you ready to wreak some havoc, John?"
 * "see you soon!" And all its implications.
 * Heck, that entire pesterlog. Not to mention John's snazzy Heir of Breath clothes and All Your Powers Combined computer.
 * And as a double-awesome moment, that comic shows John in his God-tier outfit as well, basically spoiling the fact that he goes God-tier (two months before the strip where he actually does), without spoiling it to the reader!
 * John finally gets the server copy!
 * Rose sure can give one mean pep talk.

"TG: bow down before your new king bitch"
 * After spending nearly a week not updating, Andrew gives us this.
 * At the end of a typical conversation between Rose and Eridan, the former agrees to give the latter a quick magic lesson. The next panel speaks for itself.
 * Dave intentionally breaks the legendary piece of shit. So he can A) get his hand on it. B) use it with his specibus.


 * He ends up alchemizing it into a better sword anyway.
 * Davesprite has Dave's back. DAVESPRITE: caw caw motherfuckers
 * Jade starts trash-talking Karkat. Yes, Jade, sweet little Jade, lets her feelings be known. Doubles as Crowning Moment of Funny.
 * Bonus points for being able to do so right after her terrible dream.
 * I have a feeling this will count. Bro vs Jack : ROUND 2 FIGHT!!!
 * Looks like we got a new Challenger.
 * And it looks like someone else is back with a vengeance.
 * Just for emphasis, this is Jack Noir we're talking about here. The unstoppable demon who destroyed two armies, gained the powers of their most powerful leaders and committed regicide twice over is getting his ass handed to him by a puppet, a ghost, and a dude who makes a living filming puppet porn. Only in Homestuck.
 * Yet another epic Flash. Bec prototyping with himself. Bro and Davesprite dueling Jack. Jade's completely ridiculous entry. Oh and Jack going One-Winged Angel AGAIN and wrecking the Troll's shit.
 * Okay, even though it crosses over with Tear Jerker and Nightmare Fuel, Jack killing Bro and Davesprite has to be on this list. Bro is the one who chopped a fucking meteor in half and he got his own sword through the gut for taking him on, and Davesprite defended Dave from dozens of giclopses and got explodenated for it. YOU DO NOT FUCK WITH JACK BEC NOIR.
 * John suddenly does the windy thing. And summons a hurricane that engulfs all of LOWAS. Just awesome.
 * Even better, when just before it happens, WV, who's spent the entirety of the adventure being rude and insulting to John says "YOU CANNOT DIE IN THE TASTY FIRE. YOU ARE A HERO".
 * Good dog. Best friend.
 * Tavros finally sticking up for himself. Just look at that face. Compared to how he usually looks, he's pissed.
 * And now he's getting a lance to take down Vriska.
 * And now he's got a lance in his heart thanks to Vriska.
 * John gains all the levels. All of them.
 * [S JOHN. RISE UP]
 * Iron Lass Suit, Full Stop.
 * Proton Cannon !!!
 * Jade loses her temper big time and slaps the fail out of her omnipotent half-Bec self for actively being useless.
 * Topped only a page or two later by Karkat actually psychoanalyzing Jade into backing down from doing this. It's not quite Obfuscating Anger, but it's closer than most realized than before reading the update.
 * [S Wake.] Aradia ascends to the god tier and timestops Bec Noir.
 * Non-Story example: In the August picture of the Homestuck 2011 calendar, there is a nice shot of all the guardians enjoying a summer day. The moment of awesome? In the backround, Bro can be seen RIDING A FUCKING SHARK.
 * John: 8e cre8tive.
 * John makes a planetary drill out of a tornado, with winds so strong that it can fling flying battleships around with ease. There's a reason they're called the God Tiers
 * As frightening as he is, you have to admit the Grand Highblood looks pretty badass. For a murderous racial supremacist alien clown, that is.
 * The same goes for Marquise Spinneret Mindfang, Orphaner Dualscar, and Neophyte Redglare, the other ancestors. They are all badasses in their own right.
 * [S 3x SHOWDOWN COMBO]. Say what you like about the respective trolls' actions, that moment is just awesome.
 * Kanaya being undead and kicking Gamzee in the groin so hard that he flies out of his shoes HONK!
 * and off a cliff.
 * and decking Vriska in the face.
 * and then snapping Eridan's wand in half and chainsawing him in two.
 * Not only that, but after chainsawing Eridan in half Kanaya just stands there, and the glasses that flew off of Gamzee land right on her face.
 * And then she does her makeup -- with the lipstick that was recently the chainsaw she used to cut Eridan in half, still covered in his blood. BAD. ASS.
 * You're done with dying.
 * Spades Slick returns, clocking the head of that Smug Super Manipulative Bastard Doc Scratch. In the long run, this might do no damage, but seeing him get attacked after acting Wicked Cultured as a Magnificent Bastard looks SO GOOD.
 * Not only that, he's returned with a freaking eye patch and a ROBOT ARM!!
 * In return, Scratch calmly bends the horsehead cane into a pretzel and hands it back to Slick. While continuing to talk about something else.
 * John finally encounters The Tumor, the devastating explosive that will destroy the whole session if given the chance. What does he do? He calmly captchalogues it into his Wallet Modus.
 * This. You may begin weeping now.
 * And leading directly from that: "You are not their leader, you are their FRIEND, there is a BIG difference!...You prepare to issue your party a highly authoritative series of FRIENDLY REQUESTS."
 * In [S Seer: Descend], Rose floats down onto the castle where Jack is currently residing, and she's followed by many black thorns. It's breathtaking to watch, especially when accompanied by Black Rose, Green Sun.
 * Here, Rose and John prepare to fight Jack to avenge their parents' deaths. John is quickly stabbed through the chest. Rose charges up for a Roaring Rampage of Revenge; as she and Jack clash, the castle they're on is instantly destroyed.
 * Neophyte Redglare. [S Seer: Ascend.] Redglare annihilates Mindfang's fleet.
 * Mindfang returns the favor at her trial by mind-controlling the low-caste, bloodthirsty audience to LYNCH Redglare.
 * And after that was taken care of, she picks up Redglare's staff and prepares to fight His Honorable Tyranny. It's awesome in that she lives to tell the tale, regardless of her success.
 * "Upon reflection, Redglare showed the foresight of a true seer in thieving my arm 8efore the trial. It permitted a fair fight."
 * The banners starting here. Spades appears to be preparing to burn down Doc Scratch's house with Doc inside.
 * He actually managed to surprise him, who as a matter of fact is omniscient. Unless, of course, Jack killing Doc is something that causes Lord English to be summoned, as Doc implied once.
 * Not so much the fire as a lack of Scottie Dogs for his guests. He's an excellent host.
 * Ancestral Fucking Awakening.
 * HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSIIIIII IIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
 * A triple whammy: Doc Scratch beats the everloving shit out of Spades Slick with his tome while, in the banner, Jade and Dave battle Jack Noir and seem to be doing amazingly well when you consider that this is the same Noir who took out God Tier John, Grimdark Rose and every living troll in an alternate timeline.
 * And now Doc Scratch is telling Slick in Green Sun lightning letters to kill Snowman with his deudly firearms.
 * ADAGIO. REDSHIFT. FUCK YES. (Look at the banner.)
 * FUCKYEAH DAVESPRITE
 * Dave not waiting a second after realizing Rose is in danger, picking up his sword and flying after the moon.
 * While it's not actually shown, FedoraFreak accidently managing to reach the God Tiers certainally deserves a place here.
 * One wonders if a moment can be considered awesome when it is merely implied. The readme information for Rex Duodecim Angelus tells us the order of events during the trolls' battle with their Black King. The first troll to step up and attack him? Karkat. Make no mistake; for all his flaws, he really is their leader.
 * To be fair, apparently Karkat is the troll second coming.
 * BOOYEAH! (Look at the banner.) Doubles as a Crowning Moment of Funny.
 * To clarify: Andrew just burst through the fifth wall into his own web comic.
 * Start reading from here after the wall-breaking bit. it just gets more awesome.
 * It gets even better when you think about it. Hussie just snuck up on the omnipotent Doc Scratch of all people. On his own turf. By any means, that should be completely impossible. (Of course, this may be a hint that we're about to get psyched out again...)
 * Everyone faces off Gamzee, but Karkat, fulfilling his ancestor's role, keeps them from fighting. He then attempts to calm Gamzee down by patting him.
 * It should be noted, however, that this patting, this nonviolent method of confronting the newly-christened sociopath? It works. And maybe it's just me, but that seems pretty awesome too.

EOA 5 [S] Cascade
Yes, bitches, Cascade has a folder all to itself. That's how awesome it is.


 * Highlights include all four kids going Godtier, Jade shrinking planets into baubles for her to carry, and Bec Noir killing every exile but PM, who prototypes so she can face off with Jack.
 * John only appears for quite a short time, but his achievements are still remarkable. The Scratch is just about the most difficult thing to do in a session, kind of akin to an ultra hard, optional, marathon boss battle. And then you have to take into account that thanks to Bec's prototyping, some or most of the enemies are now brokenly strong. He took on every single thing the game could throw at him and WON.
 * Wait, wait, I think we do have to single out GOD TIER JADE JUGGLING PLANETS. JUGGLING. PLANETS.
 * It should be clarified, she has shrunk down every major planet in the medium and set them in orbit around herself, effortlessly (and in sync with the music).
 * It should go on the record that she got the tiger, shrunk the planets, picked up John, and broke the Fourth Wall all within four minutes of the Green Sun blowing up and the Scratch finishing.
 * How about when Bec Noir rages so hard he alters the borders of the flash?! This is arguably the moment when the audience knows that this is going to be amazing.
 * And right after, he obliterates two Universes, as Bec and Spades Slick.
 * We also have to single out Sollux steering the entire asteroid the trolls are on to the Green Sun. While blind. And also apparentely sacrificing himself in the process.
 * Dave and Rose's ascensions have to be clarified. More specifically, what they ascended out of: The Green Sun. That's right. They ascended through about a universe of plasma. They were both smoking and distorting like a First Guardian due to all of it, but God Tier immortality doesn't give two shits about little injuries like that.
 * Jade broke the fourth wall. You can't get better than that! (...This is a lot more impressive in-comic.)
 * Special mention goes to Doc Scratch, for making everyone think he was trying to help destroy the Green Sun...when in fact he was manipulating them into creating it. S u c k e r s. What's amazing is that if you look at his conversations with Rose he's still not lying (except by omission). He even fooled Hussie!
 * More specifically, Scratch cannot be killed by normal means, just like his boss. So how does a godlike entity kill himself to fulfill his role? In Scratch's case, by incensing the author and hijacking the story and forcing him to reverse-break the fourth wall to jump into the comic itself. If that isn't the most awesome, twisted, mind-screwy way to off yourself ever, I don't know what is.
 * PM. Sweet (if survivalist) mail lady/newly crowned Monarch just watched her friends get slaughtered by Bec Noir. Instead of being terrified though, she puts on the White Queen's ring ascending to godhood to go after him. That's not the most badass part. That belongs to the fact she gave Noir his first genuine "Oh Crap" moment. That's right, PM terrified The Sovereign Slayer just by showing up.
 * And while her friends were being slaughtered? She didn't try to run: She faced him, powerless but weapon ready.
 * And now suddenly a Crowning Moment of Funny in light of the most recent update when it was revealed that Bec Noir wasn't scared of PM... he fell in love with her. And, of course, PM hates his guts. Kismesis/Matesprit Double Reacharound, anybody?
 * AR continuing to blow up the stations even as Bec fucking Noir heads toward him. Dying Moment of Awesome, indeed.
 * Lord English/Doc Scratch's insanely convoluted but reality-breakingly awesome plan for his summoning. As one poster on /co/ put it: "Lord English recruited the empress to send Dave the miracles video, that video caused gamzee to go insane, and create cal, which was necessary for his summoning and the harlequin which made John make Bec Noir go insane and eventually destroy one of the universes, completing the cycle to create the green sun." HUUUUUUSSSIIIIEEEE!
 * The last image of the flash: the torn-up End-of-Act curtains in front of the broken 4th wall, in front of a giant clock contraption, in front of a raging inferno. It's easily the most metal thing to ever appear in the comic.
 * In short, let's just say that everything in this sequence was awesome.
 * An incidental CMOA for Hussie as he was completed with [S]CASCADE several days before 10/25. Why wait to release it? 10/25 is the combination of both the kids and the troll's arc numbers so he kept it back until then! Totally worth it.
 * Not only that, but 10/25/11 is 2 years, 6 months, and 12 days after the start of Homestuck (started on 4/13/09) and 1 year, 4 months, and 13 days after Hivebent, the troll arc (started on 6/12/10). Talk about using arc numbers!
 * Given how the arc number 1025 is just the sum of the other two arc numbers, that is to be expected.

Intermission 2

 * Arguably, Lord English's debut could be considered one of these.

Act 6 Act 1

 * We finally get to see a conversation with Bro Strider, and he is just as Badass as we would expect. Then halfway into the conversation, it is revealed that that wasn't actually Bro himself, but an artificial intelligence copy of Bro, that he uses as an auto-responder. In his glasses.
 * Yeah. Only problem with that is that he probably knows, better than anyone here, that this bunny is needed for him to even exist, and he's denying Jake that. Perhaps one could say the Missed Moment of Awesome was him realizing the situation was dire.
 * How about his real first appearance? When he noticed that the bunny was activated, the first thing he did was ask if Jane was in danger.
 * Brobot saving Jake from the giant sea goat while bleating like a goat for ironic purposes.
 * Jane throws down her hat in disgust so hard it requires two animated panels and caused her to level up.

Act 6 Intermission 1

 * You see robothussie in this panel, and it is YMMV on what emotions really describe it, but it is still pretty cool!!!!!!!!
 * The first page of Act 6 Act 1 Intermision. John speaks. Made possibly more awesome by the fact this implies they had gone through all these adventures without a single sound.
 * Hussie said on his Tumblr that the kids have of course been talking to one another; it would be ridiculous for, say, Jade and Dave to be frog hunting in total silence. What the badge actually does is let them talk to each other while the audience watches.
 * When PM confronts Bec Noir, Serenity gives him a message in morse code: "You Suck".
 * Dave, Rose, Aradia and Sollux meet up with the rest at the Green Sun.
 * Kanaya is going Clown Hunting (see the previous page for context).
 * [S END OF ACT 6 INTERMISSION 1] makes Foreshadowing through a Skaian eclipse and the resulting cloud prophecies awesome. The music certainly helps.

Act 6 Act 2

 * [S Roxy: Sleepwalk] has Roxy's dreamself wandering through the dreambubbles of some of the deceased characters, including Equius, Nepeta, and possibly an alternate timeline Karkat who managed to reach God Tier.
 * Even though Squarewave is supposed to be a terrible rapper anyway, Dirk casually crushing him in a rap-off with only two lines is still pretty awesome.
 * The game hasn't even started yet, and Dirk's already killed one of the four agents.
 * "The Prince is awake. Your shit is wrecked."
 * And at the same time, Jake and a certain Triangle Shades-wearing robot having a decidedly one-sided strife.
 * It's later revealed that all of those Dersites surrounding him was because Dirk actually started a rebellion. By showing up.
 * Just as Jack is about to re-kill Jane's dream self, Alpha White Queen appears out of nowhere and cold-cocks him senseless with the Royal Scepter. (Do note the twitching legs for added hilarity.)
 * GHOST PUNCH! Go Roxy!

Act 6 Intermission 2
"DAVE: BOOYEAH"
 * Starting from here... Dave is awesome.


 * PM is beating Bec Noir's ass.

Act 6 Act 3
"VRISKA: We can't let (some inexplica8le forces out there) toy with us, then just sweep us under the carpet like that. I'm not going to let our relevance 8e marginalized anymore, Tavros. TAVROS: wHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO, VRISKA: I think it's time to start fucking some shit up."
 * Vriska takes a cue from Rose.


 * Dirk's brother (Alternate Dave) killing the two Insane Clown Posse presidents on the rooftop of the White House, then flying off in the night. It's a shame they were just mere puppets in the regime.
 * Also doubling as a Call Back to Rose's method of slaying her first Ogre, Roxy's Mother impales Guy Fieri's eyes with a pair of sewing needles and rides him down the falls.
 * Although this is a bad thing, we have the Draconian Dignitary coolly convincing the Condesce to lend extra firepower, even getting her to somehow smoke because he's that good. The Condesce's help arrived in the form of A FUCKING MECHA.
 * And then (in a mix of Oh Crap), we see he has his own plans.
 * SAWTOOTH
 * TORSO-MOUNTED MISSLE RACKS
 * Jake beating up Meenah can be this or a CMOF.
 * YMMV, but uu beating UU at chess by disguising his king and queen as each other is pretty cool. He even limits himself to playing both pieces as kings until the reveal.

Meta
"Are these latest comics slower to get done because of the text-heavy nature of them, or is it just real life needing tending to? Not complaining about the pacing, just curious."
 * Andrew Hussie's big speech on how he makes his comic, as recorded on the main page.
 * Hussie scores another CMOA when he opened up a donation drive to help victims of the earthquake in Japan by selling Squiddle plushies. He managed to sell all 20 pairs within an hour for over $2000!
 * Andrew Hussie responding to perfectionists demanding he maintains a perfect schedule in updating, despite his output surpassing Kevin and Kell. Bonus points for using Insane Troll Logic to threaten possibly going on break for 13 years for achieving such an accomplishment.
 * Unless there's a larger context, that looks less like "perfectionists" demanding a "perfect schedule" than it does someone who's asking about what they perceive as an output drop.


 * There is a larger context: that's not the only person asking. And the others are asking a lot less nicely.
 * While working on the End of Act 5, he temporarily looped this page to that page, finally concluding the incomplete Jailbreak after four years with this. Paraphrasing, while it's not as GREAT as concluding with an EOA5 flash, it's still SPECIAL as a solid conclusion to Hussie's first story.
 * On October 25th, 2011, while hosting [S Cascade.], Newgrounds was unable to handle the traffic it generated and was forced into maintenance mode in less than the video's length, in Hussie's twitter he responds simply with "well that didn't work"

Let's just say that:
 * Any time you see "[S]" next to an entry, you know you're in for something great.
 * Any time you see a de-chibified picture of one of the kids, you know you're in for something great. It's called "Hero Mode" for a reason.
 * Any time you see "Ascend", "Descend", or any other variant thereof ("Accelerate" comes to mind) in the title, you know you're in for something great. Not necessarily happy, but great.
 * Any combination of the above, you know you're in for something inconceivably awesome.
 * Pick an EOA, any EOA.
 * It also stands to reason that whenever Andrew takes a break from updating 7 pages a day without posting why, you can bet that something amazing is going to happen in about a week.
 * Although he very rarely does take days off, usually after an animation where he's been pulling allnighters to get it done.
 * A subjective opinion, but a lot of Homestuck is made up of Crowning Moments of Awesome, so you could basically say that it's just one CMOA after the other, making it a giant one.
 * So, double CMOA reacharound?
