Author commentary: That tinyurl link maps to a real YouTube video of the moment in Con Air when Nic Cage finally reunites with his wife and daughter. Except I'm pretty sure that video got taken down years ago, seeing as I just linked to a video in some random guy's account rather than bothering to host it myself. Ironically, just after John shares the link, he warns Vriska she might have to view it through an older version of the internet, from a time before Earth's servers were all destroyed. Which is the situation we find ourselves in now, with the gradual decay of the internet making it harder to consume the patchwork media comprising Homestuck in its original totality. The gradual entropy eating away at Homestuck and its myriad formats is a very real phenomenon. I expect this will continue and eventually all the content will fade away. In the future, these books won't even contain the original panels and text. They will be completely displaced by author notes, as the bottom margin creeps higher and higher, totally drowning out the comic you once knew and loved.
