Homestuck breaks 1.2mil words

Amidst all the excitement of 4/13, and the end of the MICROTERAPAUSE, and Caliborn’s claymation Vines, I feel that we can’t forget something HUGE that just happened.

Homestuck, given its format, can’t have its word count measured by conventional means. That’s why some very smart folks designed an “adjusted word count” that more accurately counts by converting images and gifs and flashes into the neural-processing equivalent.

According to that, with tonight’s upd8, and the beginning of Act 6 Act 6 Act 5, Homestuck is currently at 1,201,136 words.

According to Wikipedia’s List of Longest Novels (in all languages), Homestuck would be in the #2 spot, and it’s quickly approaching #1.

John Egbert from Homestuck! He was the very first of the new human-figurines Ive been making and a trial to how they would look. Learned a lot from making him!
Was looking at Pukind’s plushies and how their faces were shaped as a good source of inspiration for the new style.

(fluffy hair takes forever hahah)

Your name is JADE. You have just woken from a restful nap, and as usual, you have no recollection of having fallen asleep. You have quite a number of INTERESTS. So many in fact, you have trouble keeping track of them all, even with an assortment of COLORFUL REMINDERS on your fingers to help you sort out everything on your mind.

Tumblr is doing awful things to the resolution on these, please full view!
