Homestuck: The Internet's Ulysses

After a homestuck-esque hiatus, H:TIU has risen from the dead in time for October! In this bonus episode we chat about the masterwork Detective Pony feature film recently released by Naked Bee.

In this episode we cover Homestuck Act 4 Part 2 and Ulysses Episode 7, Aeolus. Jaime, coming to you all the way from Australia, investigates REAL vintage newspaper headlines. Kira, coming to you all the way from his house, decides that all acting is LARPing. We discuss SORD, the boundaries of form, Slurpee machines, verisimilitude, and respiratory imagery.

In this episode we cover Homestuck Act 4 Part 1 and Ulysses Episode 6, Hades. Kira tries to prove that all words are onomatopoeias AGAIN, Jaime decides not to stan Leopold, and we both agree that Bloomsday is like 4/13 but for Ulysses. Kira is extremely sorry about the dog barking throughout the entire episode. Last but not least: be prepared for a SURPRISE SEGMENT Kira invented just for you, dear listeners!

We hope you enjoy the second bonus episode of H:TIU! This one’s kind of a mixer upper. We debrief some community interviews from Anime Boston, discuss a fandom demographics survey from earlier this year, and hear about Jaime’s very sexy Big College Essay. By the way, check out our tumblr to hear about NEW MERCH and SFS opportunities!

In this episode we cover Homestuck’s first intermission and Ulysses Episode 5, Lotus Eaters. We discuss ~Swinton, time travel, onomatopoetic dreams, episode titles, and whether or not Leopold is a vers in denial. Don't punish your cactus, folks.

Need a little good old fashioned Homestuck analysis in these trying times? Never fear! In this episode we cover Homestuck Act 3 and Ulysses Episode 4, Calypso. We assign Myers-Briggs types to Ulysses characters, discuss potato prototyping, and compare Jade to Leopold. Both furries? That’s for you to decide. Also, Crabapple = davekat foreshadowing.

In this episode we cover Homestuck Act 2 Part 2 and Ulysses Episode 3, Proteus. We dive pretty deep into the comparisons and talk about Dave’s home life, Joyce's critics, and Hussie’s Pulitzer armor.

We will return to your regularly scheduled H:TIU content next episode.

In this episode we cover Homestuck Act 2 Part 1 and Ulysses Episode 2, Nestor. We discuss beautiful prose, aesthetic merit, self-insertion, and spooky voices. Check out our tumblr for some content mentioned in this episode!
