April 13th again? No problem… It’s the Hamsteak Podcast! It’s been about two years, but it’s like we never left!! We’ve been having a time!!! Thank you to everyone who’s discovered this podcast in the meantime and everyone who’s wondered if it would ever come back. The answer is, slowly, yes! Did you know the main characters die in this story? A bunch of them do this week! Vriska tells John some heavy stuff. Mom and Dad go on a date. Doc Scratch is weird to teenage girls. We talk in this episode about how Homestuck tackles heavy subjects, specifically some ways it succeeds and some ways it massively fails. On that note, please be warned of a description of a sexual assault which begins at 38:40 This episode covers pages 3423 to 3658 of Homestuck - note that the numbering of the pages on the website has changed, and not longer includes the pagecount of the pre-Homestuck MS Paint Adventures.
