Homestuck Re-read Part 26: I can generate typescript bindings for my go program at long last.
Yes I have finally solved my most recent blocking issue and can now move on. I am not writing too many details about it here, because I plan to write something else up and release it later. But I can finally just run a binary and get a nicely formatted d.ts file out the other end with correct typing.
There is 120ish pages in today's upd8, I'd like to get some more programming done after so lets see how long this takes.

We open with another beautiful panel. The feel of the perspective is so insane here, John's 'house' is looming so tall over everything below.
Vriska finally gets around to watching that video of con air. I don't know enough about flash player to know if the dithering on the video was strictly necessary, but it's definitely adding to the effect.
Anyway, Karkat appears to have got John and Dave together for some kind of meeting? Or well more of a verbal three way mutual dressing down over getting flirted with by the scourge sisters. I don't know how Karkat thought this would work, clearly he hasn't seen troll Romeo and Juliet, or as I guess it would be called on Alternia "In which a pair of opposing genders seek to have a flushed relationship with eachother but are unable due to the centuries old blood feud between their families preventing them from seeing eachother."
It's one of these JRPG-y kinda looking walkabouts! I remmeber these being super cool!!! Karkat wakes up after seeing Kanaya de-leg Tavros and just starts wandering around. We can learn from talking to Terezi that he woke up on Prospit just in time ti witness Jack Noir destroy it and then dreamed of, something that seems to terrify him for the rest of the hour. It freaks him out so much he forbids everyone else from sleeping. Although Feferi seems to know and not be scared of it.
We can be future Terezi at a certain point and smell the destruction of Derse. If we become future Aradia, we are.
uh
Theres a lot of walking and items to find in this and, I am getting a bit tired and want to move on.
Jade Time
Oh, maybe not. John gets an amulet that lets him summon Nanasprite at will. Rose detonates a suitor's PC. Aradia tries to dissuade fate.
Rose is unbelievably kind to Nepeta and it is genuinely heartwarming. Rose sets Jaspersprite free and receives one last little push to learn to play the rains of her land. Not for the prize, or the fate of the universe, but for her own growth.
Terezi draws some, amazing Dave and Davesprite art. We get to learn a bit about Dave's denizen Hephaestus and how hes a kinda pissed off guy waiting for Jade's volcano.
DAVESPRITE: anyway that sword
DAVESPRITE: its important to getting your shit figured out
DAVESPRITE: you were supposed to break it to get it out of the thing
DAVESPRITE: like another personal sort of mythological milestone you were supposed to clear
DAVE: really
DAVE: there was no other way to get it out
DAVE: thats kind of retarded
DAVESPRITE: well i dont know
DAVESPRITE: maybe if john was to try with his pure heart and shit it woulda popped out like a champagne cork and fuckin hero confetti woulda blasted him in the face
DAVESPRITE: but you
DAVESPRITE: we
DAVESPRITE: we had to break it
I'm not, though. Which is somewhat frustrating. Breaking the sword leads to it being reforged by Hephaestus later, and John being able to pull it out with a pure heart? Gotta get worse before you get better or something? I don't know.
Another iconic panel, as Davesprite prepares to defend a sleeping Dave.
Jack inspects the scratch on one of the giant discs. Leading to this, absolutely impressive panel.
I have just become aware that, I have a lot of panels I wanted to try and do prints of, but I think I've lost track of them. That is somewhat kinda, upsetting.
Jade time?
She's hanging out with squiddles and floating down rainbow road, up into a rather pastel-y sky. That seems to be, out somewhere in the furthest ring, since we see Dave take off his glasses and gaze up towards it. Oh Meanwhile, Jade meets up with. Feferi? And Dave witnesses the horror terrors emanating from the dark static of the furthest ring.
Jade finally wakes up. That was not a happy dream.
Feferi talks her through what just happened. That dream took place in a dreambubble, a sort of temporarily stabilized part of paradox space caused by the idle blubbering of the horrorterrors. It's also time for Jade to message Karkat back, who unfortunately has no idea what she's on about. Future Karkat is so much nicer. Although he is still arguing with past Karkat and they're both supremely upsetting Jade with uh. The way he has constantly acted towards her.
?GG: i cant even believe the things im typing here! this is so stupid, talking to two of you at once is the worst thing imaginable?
GG: you treat everyone horribly, even yourself, i cant even fathom how awful it is to be you?
GG: past karkat, youre acting like a bigger jerk than he is and i think you know that! why dont you take his advice and grow up?
GG: as if theres even a real difference between you two. three hours is hardly any time at all, you are the same person YOU FUCKING IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!
John is setting up Jade's sburb equipment for her. He also accidentally belts her with gardening equipment. They finally get to catch up and it's so adorable and sweet.
Meanwhile. Jack glides over the land of wind and shade seeking to continue his fight. He is not dishonorable, he won't fight Dirk unarmed. He will fight at a disadvantage, however. It's going to be a hard fight. At least until Jack lets out his red miles.
Lighting the land of wind and shade on fire.
Rose provides cryptic answers, drawing the upd8 to a close.
Thank you for reading. Goodnight.
