On the topic of Paradox Space, the Homestuck side comic anthology... thing.

<MrGuy> Paradox Space will feature many short comic stories involving literally any characters and settings from Homestuck. Any point in canon could be visited and elaborated on, whether it's backstory, some scenes that were skipped over or alluded to, funny hypothetical scenarios which have nothing to do with canon events, or exploring things that could have happened in canon through the "doomed timeline" mechanic that is a defining trait of Homestuck's multiverse-continuum known as "paradox space". There is a WHOLE LOT of fun stuff we can do here; and we will!
<Sanzh> I mean
<Sanzh> this is just confirming what we already knew
<DragonFogel> "It is nothing short of The Greatest Tragedy that a beloved story is held hostage to the ability of a single artist to continue creating it."
<Sanzh> that hussie lost direction of homestuck a while ago and the project's collapsed under its own weight
<Jacquerel> apparently he's not writing it himself
<Mjilner> i cannot believe that's an actual quote

<MrGuy> homestuck 24-hour news network
<MrGuy> homestuck ice cream
<MrGuy> homestuck real estate and insurance
<Elpie> It somehow merges into mainstream comics and Marvel/DC/Image/Hussie become the Big Four
<Jacquerel> mountain dew sponsorship
<DragonFogel> It's like he's finding an entirely new way to be Jim Davis.
<Elpie> Each of them just farms for Hollywood properties
<Akumu> I applaud Hussie for finding a market and sucking the last drop of marrow out of its bones before it loses interest

<Elpie> Everything will get rebooted
<Elpie> Homestuck will eventually be a major motion picture
<MrGuy> Please, Elpie
<MrGuy> It'll be like six
<Elpie> Yeah
<Garuru> what i really want is for the brand to just die off after it ends, then the fans can reflect on how dumb it all was
<Elpie> Yeah that will never happen
<Garuru> (not happening tho)
<Elpie> Nothing ever dies
<MrGuy> I wanted that too, but alas
<Jacquerel> it'll be nine and there'll be a twelve year gap between the penultimate film and the climax
<MrGuy> jac: Nice
<Jacquerel> has to be a trilogy of trilogies
<Elpie> Maybe Disney will buy it and it'll get smushed into the MCU
<Garuru> oh oh maybe theyll do a musical with one direction
<Jacquerel> kingdom hearts homestuck level
<MrGuy> John Egbert Meets Thor
<Elpie> Nah, it'll be in ten years
<Elpie> All the major characters' actors will have ran out their contracts by that point
<Elpie> So, John Egbert meets Groot, maybe
