This update is a little bandwidth intensive so I'm trying to stagger it by posting it here first. Feel free to share the link on Discord, but I'll wait for the usual time to update everywhere else. Worried about the site slowing to a crawl. Thanks! :)

I’m late, but I don’t care. HOLEEEE SHIT!!! This was amazing once I read and realized what I was supposed to do. I just want to bookmark this update to do it over and over again. I love the way your brain works, Ashley Cope.

2025-01-13 21:19:22 +0000 UTCOrder of the Stick gestured at the idea of characters travelling around the website, on its page 649, though that wasn't interactive

2025-01-13 20:29:07 +0000 UTCHomestuck isn't the best story thing ever or anything (the first thousand pages are a little slow, then it kicks into gear when the second set of characters show up) but I do think it's taken advantage of the format possibilities of the internet more than anything else I've seen. (There are probably even more innovative ones that I've never seen; considering how traditionalist comic readers on the netoweb have turned out to be, one of the most remarkable things about Homestuck is just that it was as popular as it was.) Also, hey, if you feel that bad about it, you can still read it, y'know.
Josh
2025-01-13 18:18:20 +0000 UTCAww, happy birthday, Reed! Do something fun today!
Ashley
2025-01-13 17:11:49 +0000 UTCIt's all good, I never read Homestuck either. Thanks!
Ashley
2025-01-13 17:10:48 +0000 UTCNothing lasts forever :)
Ashley
2025-01-13 17:10:21 +0000 UTCI save everything for my archive in case I ever lose access to everything you put here. I ... am not sure I can find a way to save this one as is.
Spen Cyrrh
2025-01-13 16:15:49 +0000 UTCAshley (and i mean this in the best way possible) you are insane. I love it. I can't wait to see what this means for Sette!
Mason Prater
2025-01-13 13:52:01 +0000 UTCThis is just the most clever, creative thing I've seen a webcomic do. (Please don't flame me, I wasn't there for Homestuck!)
Sergris
2025-01-13 13:04:15 +0000 UTCAnother stunning update Ashley
Cherenkov
2025-01-13 12:18:58 +0000 UTCI'm excited to see it Ashley!
Cherenkov
2025-01-13 12:17:15 +0000 UTCI look forward to seeing the print version :D
Cherenkov
2025-01-13 12:16:11 +0000 UTCShe and Duane would really benefit from properly talking, wouldn't they? Duane's uniquely qualified to warn her of that trap, and to help her escape from it...
Cherenkov
2025-01-13 12:15:28 +0000 UTCAmazing! I loved the walk/scroll down the comic's archive
Capsandnumbers
2025-01-13 11:15:31 +0000 UTCSo good!! I absolutely loved this
jaaama
2025-01-13 10:40:51 +0000 UTCThis is some of the most creative thing I have ever seen in a webcomic. Your old art site was a lovely blast from the past . I used to enjoy going there back when I first started reading Unsounded a decade ago. Well done. And poor Sette. Hopefully, Boo can cheer her up.
Benjamin
2025-01-13 10:18:44 +0000 UTCUhhhhhhhh holy shit?
acloudwithfeet
2025-01-13 08:43:37 +0000 UTCWOW! This is so cool!! I read the page on the main site first and your comment for it afterwards and then went back to follow Boo. I was really impressed how complex the journey was! (Coincidentially, today is my birthday, so extra thanks. :-) )
Reed Copperstrand
2025-01-13 08:10:30 +0000 UTCA fellow reader of taste :3 I always knew I could trust you. <3
Cassie
2025-01-13 07:27:02 +0000 UTCYeah, I can only think of two other webcomics (that I know) that done something on this level. Edit: and even then – one of closer to a level of Murkoph taking a knife out of the chapter art template (although a bit higher level than that– that webcomic had a permanent change to the about page done)
Duke BG
2025-01-13 07:11:09 +0000 UTCI've seen other webcomics utilize the medium in similarly creative ways, but to my knowledge Ashley was among the first and continues to innovate and try new approaches, and I've never seen anything exactly like this before. If you like meta-breaking webcomics though, I humbly suggest All Night Laundry.
Spider
2025-01-13 06:34:35 +0000 UTCHoly crap, that was adorable and fun. Absolutely your best and most creative use of multimedia yet, Ash! What a treat.
Spider
2025-01-13 06:31:14 +0000 UTCBest web comic ever!
Gaby
2025-01-13 06:23:43 +0000 UTCBoo, like Knock, is the faithful friend that makes our worst days bearable :)
Ashley
2025-01-13 05:16:00 +0000 UTCBe careful~ Sette's fallen into that trap as a ghost. Reliving her past, all her mistakes, wishing she could go backwards and stay there.
Ashley
2025-01-13 05:15:02 +0000 UTCo well now i just have to reread the whole comic, since i'm back at the start and all... Fucking Fantastic
Gally
2025-01-13 05:09:54 +0000 UTCIt wouldn't be TOO difficult...
chrysannarose
2025-01-13 05:08:50 +0000 UTCFirst Boo
Luuuuuuu
2025-01-13 04:52:37 +0000 UTCi was so captivated by the javascript wizardry that ive only just now had it sink in that sette is also there actually. boo kind of totally stole the show can boo be her new soul. not the First Soul, but definitely the Best Soul
Nikaleles
2025-01-13 04:50:15 +0000 UTCI got nuthin but a quiet <3
Luuuuuuu
2025-01-13 04:39:02 +0000 UTCAhhh that was awesome!
Stephanie Aldrich
2025-01-13 04:35:29 +0000 UTCIt was honestly the best thing he could do. Now First Sette will concentrate on tearing the crap out of him for grabbing her ankle, instead of siccing him on Sette's corpse again.
Ashley
2025-01-13 04:34:02 +0000 UTCNaw, but I'm so glad you enjoyed the update! <3
Ashley
2025-01-13 04:33:01 +0000 UTCI'm holding out hope someone makes a Boo plush for the next fanworks contest :3
Ashley
2025-01-13 04:32:34 +0000 UTCThat was so cool. Absolute kino - something you could ONLY do in a webcomic. So creative and clever.
Old Coal Soul
2025-01-13 03:50:50 +0000 UTCOH THAT WAS SO FUN
CD
2025-01-13 03:24:52 +0000 UTCI swear to fuck, Ash, if you don't sell plush Boos soon...
Ascender
2025-01-13 03:15:59 +0000 UTCI hereby accord our little squishstruct pally the sobriquet "Boopool".
Ascender
2025-01-13 03:13:59 +0000 UTCWUT, and I cannot stress this enough, DAFUQ?!
Ascender
2025-01-13 03:10:13 +0000 UTCOh boy, that was a really fun, if not emotionally scarring ride.
Tony Wilkey
2025-01-13 02:51:50 +0000 UTCI just want you to know that after this update, you are my god Cope
Manic Raven
2025-01-13 02:30:25 +0000 UTCWhoa!!!! What a ride! Webcomic brilliance, in no other form would it work so well. Bravo!
GracieV
2025-01-13 02:19:51 +0000 UTCThat was amazing. People talk a lot of talk about "taking advantage of the medium", but this is utter next-level madness. I love it.

2025-01-13 02:15:48 +0000 UTCloooove this update!! boo is the best little creature. what a journey.
Dr. Badvibes
2025-01-13 01:26:09 +0000 UTCExcellent interactivity!
codeGnave
2025-01-13 01:22:57 +0000 UTCI gasped at being able to follow Boo around. I love it! And following him to the update comments page where you’re all “Boo! What are you doing here!?” Duane seems like he was able to resist the order! He’s paying heavily for it, but he resisted!
L Anon
2025-01-13 01:15:44 +0000 UTCHaha makes sense! I'm so glad to see Sette interacting with the website again. So fun when she does it-- and I adore the trip to the casuallvillains page and Boo messing with Murkoph! Hah! I also love the footprints along the archive page- puts me in mind of the imagery from the pageant...
Madison
2025-01-13 01:13:36 +0000 UTCWHQT THE FUCK THIS UPDATE IS AMAZING ASHLEY EHAT THE FUCK
metrocube
2025-01-13 01:10:52 +0000 UTCThe print version will of course have to take a completely different tack :) I know what it'll be, but I'll fuss with drawing it later, haha.
Ashley
2025-01-13 01:04:40 +0000 UTCI think about how this could ever translate to print and I laugh. I'm so pumped to see this-- Sette! Sette...! You gotta come help! Please! I believe in you so much!
Madison
2025-01-13 01:03:38 +0000 UTCCassie I was gonna say Peter Pan but you got there first!!! Can't help but agree in every way.
Madison
2025-01-13 01:02:14 +0000 UTCOMG this is amazing
Pat Murphy
2025-01-13 01:01:50 +0000 UTCDamn Ashley. Back to the beginning...That was the most amazing journey I've been on, not just in a webcomic, but in any comic. Hats off.
Rifter
2025-01-13 01:00:50 +0000 UTCIt's what Sette would have wanted.
Ashley
2025-01-13 00:55:36 +0000 UTCAshley you are the GOAT, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
The Clag
2025-01-13 00:55:17 +0000 UTCYaaaay! I was hoping it would feel like you're participating. Boo couldn't have done it without you!
Ashley
2025-01-13 00:54:56 +0000 UTCThere should be an asterisk on that statement. Characters getting out of bounds of the pages into the website is rare, but it's a thing.
Duke BG
2025-01-13 00:54:45 +0000 UTCYou gotta help Boo find her! Don't let 'em down!
Ashley
2025-01-13 00:54:11 +0000 UTCYes! BOO! FIND SETTE! We're with you!
Rifter
2025-01-13 00:52:42 +0000 UTCWow
Duke BG
2025-01-13 00:51:58 +0000 UTCthat was crazy fun. thanks so much!
Wambling Wombat
2025-01-13 00:46:46 +0000 UTCThe way I had a giant smile on my face clicking through this! Just utter delight, even through this horror. Absolutely incredible. You've always utilized this medium so creatively, but this really knocked it out of the park. This reminded me of the old Peter Pan musical of my childhood, where the audience had to clap to bring Tinkerbell back to life.
Cassie
2025-01-13 00:46:41 +0000 UTC🤯
Emily Rocke
2025-01-13 00:43:36 +0000 UTCI love this story so much

2025-01-13 00:42:52 +0000 UTCaaaaaaaa ashleyyy what the hell this rules
mellothumb
2025-01-13 00:41:50 +0000 UTCAshley! No one has pushed the medium of webcomics as far as you. Amazing!
Simon
2025-01-13 00:40:08 +0000 UTCAnd like any true gangster, gotta engage in some graffiti along the way...
LordOfChains
2025-01-13 00:38:25 +0000 UTChomie this is literally insane. GREAT WORK
Nikaleles
2025-01-13 00:38:03 +0000 UTCDamn, Boo is way better at sounding than the rest of the cast. Someone get this bug some farcyte.
