Fuck, I saw the thing about his name change being the cancer, but not the names causing the letter overlap DNA sequence thingy. I fucking love when people find big shit like this. It would have never occurred to me. At the same time this means that the trolls are alive. No dead Vriska But does that mean all her talks with John are null and void if this is a doomed timeline?

Well, Karkat DID mention that he thought he was in a doomed timeline, what with Gamzee going batshit and all, so i think it's a high probability. AND he said he'd been moving backwards in John's timeline to figure out just what went wrong. Well, there it is. The name change.
O_______O EVERYTHING SUDDENLY MAKES SENSE.

Also, i'm pretty sure CGA & T are the letters they use for DNA coding.
You're absolutely right - those are the four nitrogen bases in DNA. A pairs up with T and C pairs up with G to form the double helix, if I recall correctly. /isn't a biology person
But if there were any deviation, it would fuck up the rest of the chain and cause a mutation. So if the name change is the mutation, the crazy timeline is the DNA, and I'm dumbstruck.
I love this series more than I can verbalize right now.

Don't entirely believe the "And then John was Cancer" theory, but if it does go done that way, you know who's at fault?
Spoiler:
Though, if the names do signify the frog's code, it doesn't mean John is the cancer. The TUMOR is the cancer, and John could be the mutation to counter it.

Aw. WELL THE NAME CHANGE IS STILL IMPORTANT. Somehow.

You just aren't dedicated enough. I read all the way to the current page in like 3 days when I started reading it.
Sad part is I'm being serious 8,C
Ok, to be serious, we all have our different reading paces, don't try to force yourself through the story because you may miss important stuff.

I totally said this exact same thing when i started. You get hooked, believe me. And it's totally worth it. You just gotta stick with it.

Yeah, i am not trying to offend anybody but i had trouble reading it. I just didn't find it to be worth it (And again i am really not trying to offend anybody) but that is just me, i was never a fan of reading long things. But i did try to force myself to read all of it and i really really do apologize if i had offended anybody by stating this. It was funny though, but not really my type of story i guess.

It is okay my child,
god forgives you.
(seriously though, i dont think you offended anyone at all. different strokes for different folks.)
As for that update, I noticed one of the panels was Gamzee contacting Dave on pesterchum/trollian.
I really hope that we will finally get to see the fantastic rap battle Dave had mentioned earlier.

well as for how we managed to read it, some of us got into HS before it got wordy, which wasn't a bad thing at all, so we just savored every update it made as opposed to archive binging

Okay, so I had this idea. And I was bored. And here are the results... (SPOILERS FOR ACT 4. IF YOU AREN'T THAT FAR THAN BE WARNED)
(Also, I'm nearly caught up. I'm at the start of Act 5-Part 2. And I can't seem to stop drawing The Midnight Crew. Hard to believe a week ago, I barely knew what Homestuck was.)
