After a one week hiatus (rest), I'll be getting started on HTSSP's latest arc and the final arc for Act 2, 'The Dark Arc', which gets plenty of red flags from the title alone.

I was originally planning on having HTSSP be a trilogy of stories, but I eventually settled on making it one gigantic story with a shitload of chapters.

Each 'Act' was meant to be its own story in the trilogy with Act 1 featuring the events in Dovah's timeline, Act 2 involving Dovah's adventures throughout the multiverse and his revenge quest on Butters, and Act 3 being something I have no plans on spoiling right now.

This latest arc is going to be another big one where climactic showdowns occur, mysteries spanning over a hundred chapters are solved, and a certain white-haired kid's identity and purpose in all of this finally gets revealed.

It's gonna be one hell of an adventure, but before that, here are a few behind the scenes thoughts about this story so far.



Stick of Truth Arc: The idea for this arc and this story in general came to me while I was attempting to speedrun SOT for fun a few years after originally beating it. I'm not a top contender IRL and I don't bother posting times to speedrun.com like Dovah in this story did before being isekai'd, but I have checked out the competition from time to time and watched HardcoreCheese5 fucking dominate pretty much every possible category in that game for a while now.
