Jade's meteor doesn't even seem to be moving - which means, despite its apparent size, it's still quite far away.
We know it leaves a moon-sized crater - and now that we know where these meteors come from, I'm starting to wonder where this thing was hiding in the Veil. It should dwarf the entire Incipisphere!
Tumblr media
This is potentially the first normal dream of Jade's life. I wonder if her experiences on Prospit will make her a lucid dreamer?

Everyone is dead.
WV, I'm so sorry.
The comic's gradual tone shift has hit you harder than almost anyone. You started as a funny little guy, but now you're one of the comic's most tragic characters.
...well, I guess you did start your journey starving in a wasteland. You were never having a great time, even when the tone was more comedic.
Tumblr media
Your RAG OF SOULS begins to soak in the BLOOD OF THE FALLEN. You suppose it could be poetic? No, instead you think it is just sad.
It is just sad. If Jack didn't ruin everything, you really might have had a shot.

S54-55: Private Investigations
Tumblr media
The Mudwangs split up to begin following up on a variety of threads, both personal and for the trial: 
- Taerus returned to the infirmary to get cleared by Brother Bruelder, and as they prayed together the soldier learned of his appointment the next day with Sister Odiminn. 
- Shakan ventured to the Conservatory of Virtuosity to ask for advice from his friend, Mina, who directed him to the master of costumes and performance, Kasper. First selling the genasi a theatrical disguise kit, he then instructed him in the ways of hiding his identity.
- Rat loaded up with wine and made his ways to the halls of the Archives. Consulting with an attendant, he began investigating the format of the upcoming trial and did his best to learn about precedents in these sorts of formalities. 
- Vax and Rucker make their way to the shopping center of Innovation, where they meet with Rinna, who shares she thinks her parents are being manipulated by a thief named Gator. The men didn’t have any insight into that, but encouraged the young girl to (carefully) look into the thefts around campus.
Making their way down the Spine of the Elders, they met up with a refreshed Taerus as they entered Bofkashome, the village surrounding the academy. However, Taerus quickly peeled off into the crowd without alerting his compatriots, making his way to Daisy’s Drink & Dance, where Bruelder suggested there might be gossip and news, being one of the largest footsteps and hangouts outside the Academy. However, the soldier was surprised to find it was more of a upscale tavern with tchotchkes and perky waitresses, and was ill at ease in the kitchy place.
In the meantime, Vax and Rucker found themselves in Horn’s Rest, where the warlock pointed out the hovels he suspected the Open Hand might be operating. After a conversation with Shakan over the sending stones accidentally broadcast their intentions to the neighborhood, the men made their way to the Trollstop Tavern. Finding a corner table in the rough and tumble bar, the two began people watching until an awkward individual dressed in a leather vest and ranchers' hat abruptly joined their table. In a thick, southern Kjolligoran accent, the man intimated he knew specific details about the group. Vax and Rucker were confused over the strangers knowledge, but soon Tiberius Crosshairs revealed he was actually Shaken in disguise!
Shakan’s impression was so good, it drew the attention of a well dressed, charming ruffian by the name of Mr. Melbern. Improving as well as he could, Shakan passed as a countryman and the two conversed as Vax and Rucker caught sight of shadowy persons upstairs seemingly casting enchantments as they moved about upstairs. Vax was nervous about possibly being recognized in an Open Hand hotspot, and so Rucker volunteered to head upstairs and investigate- where he walked right into a sentry gargoyle, who began screaming out once the Goliath couldn’t offer a passcode. 
The uproar caught the attention of the dwarves bartender, who ushered the Goliath back downstairs and told him to keep out of places he wasn’t invited. Mr. Melberne stayed to chat for a few more minutes before returning to his own private table as Taerus entered, drawn by the blaring of the gargoyle. Together again, the men set their minds to strategizing how best to proceed. Given their talents and experiences, they reasoned that it might be possible to create a distraction and sneak again upstairs. 
However, the more he considered it, the more Vax remembered that the Open Hand operated surreptitiously and quietly, and forcing the issue would likely drive the Hand further away. Using a clandestine Open Hand signal, the half-elf tried to parlay with the barkeep, who did not return the signals. Vax did learn however that upstairs were private rooms meant to allow for shadowy business to be conducted privately, with a high fee ensuring disturbances not occur. With that info, Vax returned and recommended they lay low for now.
Enjoying their drinks and further brainstorming about Shakan’s trial (“We could kidnap him?”) Mr. Melberne bid the group g’night, but was drawn into their discussions about sneaking and information gathering. To help a fellow Downundrian, he offered to gather some intel for them about the identity of the Academy’s high-profile thefts for the small fee of 20 gold pieces. Taerus paid the fee and shook hands with the rogue, who gave them a toothy grin and set off, offering to return with info in 3 days time.
Later in the evening, the Mudwangs stumbled home, where they shared some more libations with Rat, who informed them about his discoveries- the Trial would be led by a Tribunal of Three, headed by Larrius. A majority would determine the outcome after witnesses were questioned, evidence presented, and statements made regarding Shakan and Gikandi. This gave the Mudwangs some ideas on how to possibly proceed with Larrius and building a case, as well as speaking with Gnarlden regarding ConsBio’s high profile treasures, but the fermented drinks began to slur their thoughts, and the men retired.

AG: You see John, you and I actually have some things in common, 8ut you couldn't possi8ly understand why yet. AG: So I'm planning on helping you!
Well, she's clearly not talking about their personalities - in fact, when Vriska was first introduced, she struck me as John's natural opposite. From where I'm standing, all they share is a signature color.
EB: ok, i will be sure to let my guard down. EB: psyche!!!!!!!!!
John's never been a complete chump, but - and I mean this in the nicest way possible - his guard is permanently down. I don't think it'll be too hard for Vriska to mess with him, whatever her goals truly are.
EB: if you don't mind, i would like to try to go back to sleep. EB: i was dreaming about something important. AG: You can't sleep now, John! AG: What a8out J8de????????
And it seems she's done her homework. Vriska isn't on a random walk, like Karkat - she's taken the time to study the kids' session and familiarize herself with its events. Any actions she nudges John into taking here will be very deliberate.
AG: Where the hell do you think you're going to go? You don't even have your copy of the game yet! [...] EB: do you know where i am supposed to get it? AG: Easy! Just w8 around for a few minutes. [...] AG: Even though you were going to do this stuff anyway, it turns out I am the reason you were going to do it anyway in the first place! AG: Your timeline is my we8, and suddenly you are all tangled up in it, wriggling and helpless.
I mean, it's kind of arguable. No matter what you do with John, here, you're not really the 'reason' that he was going to do anything. John has to do these things, because the Alpha Timeline says so, and it doesn't care if you approve or not.
Vriska is only able to pretend that she's 'causing' current events because they're what she wants to happen anyway. If she saw a future event that she didn't approve of, though, she'd be powerless to prevent it. Her control isn't real.
EB: so, you seem to like 8's a whole bunch, and i guess you are like, kind of spidery themed or something? AG: Yeah! EB: haha, spiders are gross! AG: Fuck you!!!!!!!!
Heh, he's actually getting to her - but for the record, John is dead wrong. Spiders are awesome.
Tumblr media
...could it be? After all this time?
Tumblr media
After 2'627 pages, we've finally done it.
Homestuck's original objective has finally been completed!!

Top 8 Best Performance Upgrades for the BMW M3 / M4 F80 F82
We all know and love the German luxury-sports car brand BMW. The sleek aggressive styling of all the BMW M models paired with the monstrous S55 make for some of the best-sounding and looking cars this side of the EV renaissance. However, if you sat in or rode in a F80/F82/F83, you will know that BMW left quite a room for improvement. With that being said, here are the 8 Top Performance modifications for the BMW F8X M3/M4.
1. RK Autowerks Billet Crank Hub
One of the most common problems with the S55 is crank hub slip. This mechanical overlook could cost you your engine. Luckily, there are companies that make one-piece hubs, alleviating this worry altogether. The RK Autowerks 4 pin billet crank hub eliminates the friction washer design that BMW used to affix the crank hub, timing gear, and oil pump gear to the end of the crankshaft.
The original flawed design allows the timing gear to spin independently from the crank, especially when the motor is modified. Best case scenario the motor needs to be re-timed with new components. Worst case, the valves contact the pistons requiring a complete overhaul. If you want to bulletproof your engine, this is the way to go. 
Featured Product: RK Autowerks S55 Billet Crank Hub BMW S55 3.0L
Part Number: #RKS55CH1
2. CTS Turbo 3″ Stainless Steel High Flow Cat Competition Downpipe
If you really want to make your S55 scream, the CTS Turbo 3 inch High-Flow catted downpipes are for you. They allow for faster spool, better transient boost response, higher boost, and great sound. You should expect 27whp/40ftlbs torque gains when paired with appropriate tuning software. CTS used CAD simulation to streamline the flow of exhaust gasses and ensure seamless integration with the factory and CTS exhaust components. Many hours of R&D were spent to ensure a perfect fit, smooth exhaust flow, and excellent sound.
Featured Product: CTS Turbo 3 Inch Stainless Steel High-Flow Cat Competition Downpipe BMW M2 | M3 | M4
Part Number: #CTS-EXH-DP-0025-CAT
3. KW DDC Coilover – compatible with EDC (Electronic Damper Control)
With the adaptive KW DDC(Dynamic Damping Control) Coilover Kit, there are no compromises to be made. You can retain the control of your standard damper system with a seamless suspension lowering and the driving dynamics tuned by KW suspensions experienced engineers. At the push of a button, you can choose between the Comfort, Normal and Sport setup optimized for the KW coilover suspension. As a result, all the displays and controls of your factory vehicle remain fully functional but you get a completely new driving experience.
Featured Product: KW Suspension DDC Plug & Play Coilover Kit BMW F80 M3 | F83 M4 w/ EDC 
Part Number: #39020039
4. VRP Front Mount Air Intake
The VR Performance Front Mount Air Intake System for the BMW F80/F82/F83 vehicle is a great way to improve performance of the turbocharged S55 Engine. VRP has engineered a complete intake system that uses the space behind BMW’s highly recognized kidney grills.  Where the factory intake uses scoops to feed the airboxes, VR relocates the filters to this space which forces a large amount of air directly through the intake system.  This intake upgrade will also help your intake air temperatures from the relocation due to the high heat of the S55 engine. 
Each tubes fit and finish is of OEM quality that provides you with confidence in performance and style.  The intake kit includes necessary breather fittings, chassis mount, and silicone couplers with clamps for an easy installation.   
As tested on our Mustang Dyno, a gain in performance was seen throughout the entire power curve.  A very strong peak gain of 27 wheel horsepower and 9 ft/lb of torque was achieved in ther power curve. Additionally, the cold air intake produces a more aggressive tone allowing you to hear the turbochargers much more.
Featured Product: VRP Front Mount Air Intake Kit BMW M3 F80 | M4 F82 / F83
Part Number: #VR-F80M3-110
5. ARMYTRIX Valvetronic Exhaust Sytem
Take your F80/F82/F83 to the next level by adding the Armytrix Stainless Steel Valvetronic Exhaust System. This system is a triple threat; it will increase your vehicle’s power, reduce weight, and improve the overall sound to transform your driving experience. This precision-made performance system delivers more power, especially in the low- and mid-rev range. The effect on the sound is also significant, adding a deep resonant sporty sound, but at the same time neutralizing the vexing frequencies in the most critical rpm range. Complete the look with the choice of four different tailpipe options: quad chrome silver tips, quad blue-coated tips, quad matte black tips, or quad carbon tips.
The Armytrix Valvetronic Exhaust isn’t just an exhaust system, it’s a complete driving system that will give you the performance gains you want with the incredible race sound to match.
Featured Product: ARMYTRIX Valvetronics Exhaust system BMW M3 F80 | M4 F82/F83 Competition
Part Number: #BMF8MT-QS11C
6. VRP Titanium Charge Pipes and J-Pipe
Replace the factory soft plastic J-pipe and charge pipes that are prone to breaking under high boost. The factory charge pipe is made of plastic and was not designed to handle the higher boost levels. VR Performance has the perfect performance upgraded that is functional and aesthetically pleasing. The VR Performance charge pipe kit is made up of the Hot Side and Cold Side sections. The hot side includes 2 titanium pipes that are a direct bolt-on in place of the factory units. The cold side “J-pipe” is also titanium featuring a precision mounted PCV connection which prevents check engine lights and limp mode. We have also incorporated a pre-capped 1/8″ NPT bung into each pipe for those that may want to run water/meth injection.
Each kit Includes heavy duty couplers, hose clamps, and all hardware required for the installation.
Featured Product: VRP Titanium Chargepipes and J-pipe BMW M3 | M4 | M2C | F8x 
Part Number: #VR-F80M3-CP-Ti
7. Endless ME20 Brake Pads
When you upgrade to performance brakes, you have more stopping power. That means that, in a higher speed incident or in situations where the car needs to stop fast, it has the ability and you have the confidence to do so.
Endless develops high performance brake solutions for the most demanding range of competition cars and high performance street cars. ME20 is a semi metallic compound, developed for racing and rallying. It is a step up in initial bite and is more straight forward with regards to brake power. With ME20 it is possible to perform very hard and late braking into corners. As with the friction and bite the ME20 is a step up in heat resistance compared to the ME22 and it has shown a good stable brake performance at high rotor temperatures over 650 degree C.
Featured Product: Endless EWIG ME20 Racing Rear Brake Pads BMW M3 F80
Part Number: #EIP 224 ME20
8. VR Tuned ECU Flash
By adjusting critical parameters including air/fuel ratios, ignition timing, throttle limitations, rev limits, speed limits, and various others (including upping the boost), it’s easy for us to squeeze a bit more power of this platform. The resulting VR Tuned flashing not only increases horsepower and torque, but also leads to an improved driving experience, characterized by enhanced throttle response and overall smoother transient throttle performance. Of course, in typical VR fashion the Pops and Bangs option is available for a little added spice.
The advantages and performance gains from the tune alone are quite remarkable. On the dyno, we made 431hp and 406ft/lbs. Once the stock ECU was flashed, we ran the dyno once again. This time we logged 530horsepower and 532ft/lbs of torque! Imagine how that felt.
Featured Product: VR Tuned ECU Flash Tune BMW M3 F80 | F82 | F83
Part Number: #VRT-F80-M3
There are dozens of other great ways to modify your F80/F82/F83. Let our performance specialists help you decide what’s right for you by calling 1-480-966-3040 or emailing [email protected].
