Rereading through Homestuck and I keep questioning myself:

What the fuck does Blood, Rage and Doom do?

And why did Hussie never show any of these aspect powers?

Well from what the story presented us
Blood makes you weak and have an unsatisfying character arc
Rage makes you prone to violent lapses in mental stability for no reason
And Doom grants you the ability to be pessimistic about shit I guess

I don't know why he didn't elaborate further on these considering one major character and one somewhat less major character had them as their aspect and everyone else got better treatment
>>
Andrew never gave much of a shit about those things. The point was to create a creation myth. Andrew's great idea was to have four characters with basic characteristics and a detailed plan of the game and how the creation itself would work and then let fans / the community and their opinions dictate how the characters interacted and develop. It was always going to end the way it did. The journey to get there was the fan input.

What the fuck happened to Gamzee? Seriously. He went from being a stoner joke to an intimidating antagonist, and then for no reason Hussie decided to make him mute, and he didn't speak for a while. The time he spoke after that he just shouted random slang and swear words. Then the last thing he said in comic was "Terezi stop you're motherfuckin hurting me" in his old quirk for some reason.
Why did Hussie change Gamzee so much, how is it possible to make a plot device a background character?
>>
>>81996118

>>81995898

Pretty sure you can chalk some of Gamzee's bullshit up to Rage powers.

Also Sollux literally heard the voices of the doomed.

Blood is a total mystery though, as is the Mage class. Some other classes are also not really explained but at least have evidence in the comic to base theories on, like Heir, Witch and Maid.

So of all the characters who make it into the new universe at the end of the story (lets include Aradia/Sollux/Vriska for fun), who is the most likely one to go rogue and turn on the rest?

HARD MODE: no Vriska
NIGHTMARE MODE: no Karkat

I've got some questions too.

For example, what the fuck happened to the alpha kids after sealing Caliborn?

Also, how can DaveJade be an endgame ship when Dave was sleeping with his head on Karkat's lap on the meteor? I really like the idea of DaveJade but we never saw Dave and Jade even touch each other (while they were both alive, anyway). Is it even possible to sleep on another guy's lap in a non-gay way?

WELL GUESS WHAT?!

YOU'RE FUCKING WRONG AND EVERYONE WHO THINKS LIKE THAT IS WRONG! THE POINT OF A JOURNEY IS TO GET TO A DESTINATION YOU WANTED BECAUSE THEN YOU WOULDN'T UNDERTAKE THE JOURNEY IN THE FIRST PLACE!

IF I FOLLOWED THAT LOGIC THEN MY GRANDFATHER WOULD'VE DIED MUCH EARLIER BECAUSE I WOULD'VE GONE FOR HIS INSULIN BUT INSTEAD OF GETTING TO THE PHARMACY, I WOULD'VE MET INTERESTING PEOPLE, AND HAD TEENAGE DRAMA PROBLEMS AND MAYBE GOT INTO A FIGHT, AND NEVER MADE IT TO MY DESTINATION, AND COME BACK A WISER MAN.

BUT GUESS WHAT?!

MY FUCKING GRANDFATHER WOULD'VE BEEN STILL DEAD BECAUSE I NEVER MADE IT TO MY FUCKING DESTINATION!

SO YES, I AM COMPARING THIS SHIT TO MY GRANDFATHER DYING BECAUSE IT'S METAPHORICALLY THE SAME THING. AND YOU'RE A PIECE OF SHIT IF YOU SUPPORT THIS.

The only thing. THE ONLY FUCKING THING that makes this all better is that I only joined the bandwagon a month ago. If I had invested more time in this, I would've felt bad. Now, NOW I can just go on with my life. But I feel so bad for other people, who ARE actually invested in this.

Basically everything we've seen from the very start has pointed to it being a Telltale clone. And all those games SUCK. If that's the kind of game WP has decided they want to make, and Hussie is all-in to making WP work as a game studio, I'm out.

Kankri and Karkat both lecture others at agonizing lengths; Karkat has enough self-awareness to eventually shuts up.
Rufioh and Tavros are pushovers; Tavros can put the brakes on before he falls into bed with someone.
Mituna and Sollux are both spazzes; Sollux can keep a lid on it most of the time.

My theory is that Mime used chucklefuckvoodoos to mindrape Cronus and forcwd him to go out of control like Jake but more bardily and Mituna had to stop the hope bard from destroying everything.

>>81996222
blood is friendship and teaming up with people eg blood pacts

see: karkat first meeting jack

then in his chat with kanaya near the end he talks about his drive to support his friends and such

in actuality though classes and aspects are probably just "however they can be interpreted" going by calliope logs

>Hussie decided to make him mute

This is a combination of two things: 1) He was never actually god-tier and unless there's at least one god tier character involved in the conversation, characters can't speak out loud. For most of act 6 there weren't any god-tier characters present, so he couldn't speak, and didn't seem interested in online conversations with people. And 2) : It seems like for most of Act 6 he was being directly controlled by Aranea, who didn't care for the way he spoke, so there was that.

>Then the last thing he said in comic was "Terezi stop you're motherfuckin hurting me" in his old quirk for some reason.

He was playing her. Pretending to be his "old self" so that she'd doubt herself in treating him like the villain he was. And the moment she allowed herself that moment of doubt, he capitalized upon it by brutally assaulting her.

Let's ignore the fact that LoTR came first, and is a major inspiration of almost EVERY fantasy series after it.

Do you know the shit JR Tolkien did to make Lord of the Rings? He made THE ELVISH FUCKING LANGUAGE

A NUANCED LANGUAGE

WITH FUCKING PARTIAL IMPERFECT TENSE

A GRAMMATICALLY CORRECT, COHERENT LANGUAGE

AND ON THE BASIS OF THAT LANGUAGE, AND SEVERAL OTHER FUCKING LANGUAGES, HE MADE THE HOBBIT

YES

HE WROTE THE LANGUAGE BEFORE THE FUCKING STORY

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_constructed_by_J._R._R._Tolkien

BEFORE THE FUCKING PREQUEL STORY TO THE LORD OF THE RINGS, HE WROTE A LANGUAGE

HE WROTE A FUCKING GIGANTIC BACKSTORY, TOO

WITH GODS, AND DEMONS, AND ANGELS, AND SHIT THAT MAKES THE THEOGENY LOOK LIKE AMATEUR HOUR

AND ONLY THEN

ONLY AFTER CREATING SEVERAL FUCKING LANGUAGES

DID HE WRITE THE PREQUEL

YES

THE FUCKING PREQUEL

TO THE LORD OF THE RINGS

Blood is linked the the ties of leadership, Karkat never shows any real power because his role is to come after the end of the story
Rage is a very simple one, it is linked to either the controlling or release of rage for power
Doom is the most nebulous, from what I can tell it is about the timelines, a Doom players job is to manage the Doomed Timelines (for example Meenah being the one to kill her friends and allow a timeline with a chance at winning the game to exist)

Time and Space are the only aspects that matter, period. All of the others are even completely optional to a session. Sburb is very poorly thought out and you can tell Hussie completely lost interest in it past a bunch of programming jokes with getting a session set up once Act 4 ended.

Homestuck basically wasn't funny during Act 6 except for during Meteor/Yellow Yard intermissions and Caliborn. So, like, half of Homestuck is just unfunny and barely readable.

You can't say that the comic is entirely jokes when it takes itself as seriously as it does. Thats just plain bad writing.
Its an 8000 panel shrine of circlejerking and jewishness aimed at retards.
You aren't as creative or funny as you think you are, Hussie.

Yeah but it's not an 11 minute cartoon, it's one of the biggest works of fiction in the English language. So I'm not suffering through three minutes, I'm suffering through three years.

You are right about post-Game Over being nightmare mode, but it only went from bad to worse at that point.

Adult trolls are still grey, it's just that Hussie never let up on the silhouette stylization for them. One of the panels with the adult Handmaid shows her with grey skin in order to illustrate that she's wearing stockings. You clearly see her hand.

If the only long-winded, running joke to a 8000 panel monstrosity is "its supposed to be bad" that is fucking stupid and you're equally retarded for finding it funny in the slightest.
Homestuck is bad, whether it be intentional or not, Hussie is a shit writer.

I probably shouldn't be telling you guys, this, but...the Condesce was almost the final boss of Homestuck, until Andrew decided Lord English had a more visually impressive presence in animation. This might have something to do with the anticlimax that was his battle.

I wonder if Andrew had decided on the God Tier outfits and their colors early on. The color matching-swapping of Dave/Jade and John/Rose, together with

"A realm where four will gather, the Heir of Breath and Seer of Light, the Knight of Time and Witch of Space, and together they will Ascend. "

John and Rose grouped together. Dave and Jade grouped together.

All of that makes me think he developed the colors at first in relation to potential endships. And then didn't bother to change them when he decided to go a different way with ships.

In case it wasn't obvious, the trolls are all (very vaguely) based on internet subcultures/personalities. Karkat is the type that is always angry at things on the internet, and Gamzee is a Juggalo. (This was made in 2010 to be fair)

I started reading the comic once Descend dropped and honestly, act 5.1 wasn't that bad. The amount of updates that came out in a single day made it feel like we were moving along quickly. It really only got bad during the first hiatus, after the terrible quadrant explanation, and the hiatus before Make Her Pay. All in all, I had a lot of fun with Act 5.1. Especially with all the reactions from Vriska on HSG

No? There wasn't like, an arc of the comic devoted to grinding for boondollars. Nobody went out of their way to actually try to get grist. The ranks and god tiers don't matter and never did, besides whether or not you came back to life after being killed in a stupid way. But troll romance, boy howdy, we needed hundreds of pages of that apparently.

Did you just forget Dave's stock exchange shenanigans which were also used to help him develop time powers? With Terezi's help?
And they used automatic torrent services to siphon grist, along with having their sprites do the busywork while they dicked around. Once you reach a certain point in the game, you're not even expected to hardcore farm shit unless you really have to, that's part of the game and likely a duty of the time player if the session is short.

That wasn't an "arc" it was like 5 pages and explicitly a joke. Just, "hey, here's a thing that shows how good dave is at time travel now and haha see this money is worthless this was basically a waste of time except to practice"

As it should be. And as troll romance should have been. A stupid system of abstraction that nobody paid attention to except for laughs. And yet, it's taken super seriously by all the characters and hussie

It's not like he was sad all the time, dumbdumb. During the GO timeline he was actually depressed, but in the retconned one he winds up much better because TZ hangs out with Vriska rather than attempting to date from John's/Her own advice:
>Relationship with Terezi fails, she binges with the fucking Clown
>Constantly feels the need to die heroically to English, watches dreambubbles explode periodically
>Watches Rose become an alcoholic, not really intervening and instead listening to music
>Mostly keeps to himself for 3 goddamn years
>Runs into Jade, the nicest girl he knew, immediately learns that everything went to shit with her too
>Never actually got over stuff with Bro because he never talked about himself at all, or with anyone really, if anything he just bounces nothings off of WV
He comes out alright in the retconned line because he and Karkat become actual bros, and seemingly have enough in common to keep themselves occupied. Him actually opening up to Dirk was amazing for him.

Before this page, you could only split timelines through time travel, like how Davesprite came to be. In that sense, Davesprite's time travel "created" the alpha timeline. It wasn't assumed that there was a separate timeline for every possible outcome.

Because Hivebent is super short, but getting a glimpse on how another session, one that seemingly won, is important in the long haul. It's all worldbuilding that branches into the plot.
Each troll also helps in varying bits to the plot, like how Problem Sleuth had tons and tons of minor characters pitch in for various shit. A lot of them are pretty great too.

No I explained this in my other post
Absent other factors or explanations, Dave: Accelerate is implied to be "first" timeline the leads to the creation of the alpha timeline. There's a cause and effect relationship where only time travel can create split timelines. The Many Worlds interpretation suggests that every possible timeline exists already regardless of time travel and leads to things like armies of ghost trolls.

No, the joke is that it's not a surprise at all.

The other characters are surprised, but not the audience. It's ironic in the classical sense.

>>82004120
The reason she's bad as a villain is because she wasn't portrayed as a villain narratively. She does all this bullshit like pic related where she cripples Tavros and countless other things, and never has to pay for it. Not only does she get away scot free, the narrative tries to make her into the hero instead.

I don't really understand the mindset of people who want to see Vriska "get what's coming to her"

Like I don't even see any of the other villains that way, or any villain in any story I can think of. I like villains and I want to see them succeed and become credible threats and challenging obstacles for the heroes to overcome. Punishing the villain isn't what brings cartharsis to me, it's overcoming the villains as obstacles.

>>82004372
They all serve their purpose, Homestuck wouldn't be what it is without each one.
>>
>>82004320
When villains are also protagonists, they need to have character development rather than be tools for developing the main characters. In general this involves learning from mistakes, or at the very least learning.
>>
>>82004320
People have that mindset because they want to see people who do bad things have to face consequences for their actions. If somebody were to drive drunk, for example, if it became public knowledge that it happened, there'd be a public outcry for him to be punished in some way.

The problem with Vriska is that she does all these horrible things but never has to face any consequences for them. She goes on committing crimes up until the very end, without anything stopping her.

On your point, Vriska was never "overcome" as an obstacle anyway. It seems the opposite, with the main cast actually loosing to her.

No she just twists things to try and promote her way of thinking being correct. She just can't fathom being wrong. Such as in that example, 'oh it's actually worse for me because I technically lost more eyes'. It's half joking and half her actually saying and believing those things.

Alright well this seems as good a point as any to go take care of some things
>>82005096
A flac album
>>82005113
Its about cthulian horrors I think
>>
>>82005063
Troll culture is violent, bloody, and depraved.
On the other hand, Aradia, Sollux, Tavros, and Terezi all pretty much think Vriska is fucking scum and only begrudgingly cooperate
>>
>>82004890

It's bad storytelling when the story presents and objectively terrible person as a true hero
>>
>namefag gril btw shills music
this gets worse with every thread
>>
>>82005027
its hard to think of any other work of fiction that will intentionally misuse characters and fuck up serious moments just to mess with the readership in the way homestuck does, so maybe not?
>>
>>82005118
I was talking about people who believe she did nothing wrong
>>
>>82005067
I don't know man, I'm starting to think that Vriska Serket might be Andrew Hussie's single most genius creation

Oh yeah, I love that album. I think someone from Tally Hall did it.
>>
>>82005063
Vriska is basically the most willfully evil being who ever existed in Homestuck except for maybe Scratch and the Condesce. Everyone else who causes tons of destruction on their level is either mentally retarded or literally programatically incapable of anything else as a game construct with a fixed nature.
>>
>>82005063
The general excuse, which I think you already reached, if that troll culture is violent as fuck, and solving problems with murder is fine. The thing is, Vriska doesn't solve problems with murder, she just does it for fun.
>>
>>82005145
That's not bad storytelling, that's an alternate interpretation of the fundamental tenets of interpersonal morality
>>
>>82005132
But is it Cthulhuian vaporwave

And congratulations on experiencing Doc Scratch for the first time, he's a fantastic asshole and I love him.
>>
>>82005027
Didn't MSPA's forums have a "Vriska containment thread" because if you brought her up in any other thread it'd always get derailed?
>>
>>82005150
What about like, Cartman from South Park. Or Black Mage from 8-bit Theater.
>>
>>82005063

Vriska is a god-damn hero who never did anything wrong and the comic will never let you forget it.

You might think it will, but it won't.
>>
>>82005186
>Hussie is't a bad writer, he's just a sociopath!
Nice defense.
>>
>>82005203
yes, and it was huge
>>
>>82005186

An incorrect and unsatisfying interpretation. Just because something can be done does not mean that it is good, or entertaining. And in this case, it wasn't.
>>
>>82005233
>you have to be a sociopath to challenge societal norms
Great ad hom.
>>
>>82005203
Oh fuck I remember that. You literally couldn't mention her because no one could be civil about it.
>>
>>82005247
fitting.
>>
>>82005211
both of those works dont play the irony quite hard enough and so you dont actually take seriously anything they do. they may be horrific characters but theyre in a fantastical pretend world so its fine. homestuck forces you somehow to take it seriously even though its totally absurd. that makes vriskas actions seem way more terrible.
>>
>>82005293
Ayy!
>>
>>82005262
I'm just challenging the norms of what it means to have an argument, which automatically makes what I did both good and interesting. You just don't get it.
>>
>>82005356
>which automatically makes what I did both good and interesting
I never said this. Why is it that those with sparing intellect always assume "I disagree" means "everything you've said is wrong and I believe the polar opposite of what you do"
>>
>>82005356
reading this thread is me challenging the norms of what it is to live a happy life
>>
>>82005314
There was one part of 8-bit Theater that I remember. When Black Mage gets separated from the rest of the team and he decided to live out his life as a shoe cobbler. I remember being horrified because it looks like he's going to live a nice, normal life but then it turns out he makes the shoes out of human skin.

>Why is it that those with sparing intellect
not him but typing shit like this is a great way to make no one take you seriously ever
>>
Why didn't Hussie make Vriska based on scorpions? Too obvious?
>>
>>82005380
Oh okay, I assumed when you defended it as good writing you meant the writing was good. My mistake, I apologize for misinterpreting.
>>
>>82005423
it's a Homestuck reference you fruitbat

People would have shipped her with Karkat.

>>82005461
to connect her with 8-balls (and by proxy Lord English)
scorpions don't have 8 legs? I think?

Scorpions are arachnids

>>82005472
Barely, though. You reversed the order of the sentence.

>>82005508
Yeah, scorpions and spiders are both arachnids so it's not like there isn't a connection I guess
