Is Roxy genuinely a good character, or is she just fortunate enough to have debuted late enough in the story so not to have her character ruined?
>Is Roxy genuinely a good character
Only by Homestuck's low, low standards
Fucking kek
>>82741510
holy shit
>>82741414
Considering the amount of terrible, Act-6-introduced characters, Roxy's just that good.
>that banner ad
>what it links to
I'm sensing mixed messages.
>>82741543
what's it link to i can't see it
>>82741510
it fucking links to a playlist of homestuck cringe
>>82741510
amazing anon! thank you
>>82741510
>>82741532
I think this is literally the only actual ad on all of 4chan
Every other banner is just the stock "read the rules" and "advertise on 4chan" shit
Just delete it for good
>>82741553
You know that awful clip of a vriska cosplayer doing a strip tease at a con...?
Yeah
>>82741618
There's an ad on /v/ and /vg/ too
>>82741414
To stay on topic roxy is on of the best characters in the comic period by virtue of actually growing and developing through more than le ebin Mario star subversion
Also holy shit I can't believe that anon actually bought banner ads too fucking kek

Genuinely good character, she has numerous positive features, good relationships and chemistry, solid development over the course of her screen time and understandable flaws that are inkeeping with her character.
You could very easily argue that she's actually the best character in the storyafter Caliborn of course.
She's the closest any homestuck has been to being waifu material, so yeah, pretty good.
Looking back on it I think this was the most cringey part of Homestuck

>implying preact 6 rose wasn't the toppest tier waifu
Get off my board

The starman mario part still tastes bitter given the events that eventually follow.
>>82741913
I wish people understood that just because you bring up issues before they actuall occur doesn't mean that the issue is fucking fixed
All it actually does is show you wrote yourself into a corner and aren't cleaver enough to get out
>>82741824
it's like a formspring rant disguised as a page of homestuck
>>82741793
all her character growth (read: stops drinking) happens off screen and her personal journey amounts to her alien spirit guide telling her what to do + giving her a temporary power up.
She's likable, but she's barely more of a robust character than john
>>82741983
although I guess that was the point
>>82741824
i wish caliborn didnt talk to andrew, or at least if he had to then i wish andrew was a bit funnier and less obvious. im totally cool with extrapolating shit like the mario star thing without his help, and when i work stuff like that out it seems really cool and subtle. being super blatant about it sucks and when it inevitably gets contradicted later it just makes the while thing seem pointless.

This thread sucks. Let it die.
>>82741824
It's like he thought he was being ironic but he forgot where he was going with it.
Just like
everything.
>>82742116
He probably forgot where he was going with every plot line each time he took a year off
>>82742069
Aradia plays no part in death, only what comes after
Also I forgot to flip it turnways
>>82742069
yeah there's another thread up
>>82741451
>>82741451
It's best to limit it to one thread as to not piss off the mods
>>82741824
>you can't just flick a switch and solve all a character's problems
>instead you should just push them offscreen and have that solve all a character's problems
The more I think about Homestuck the angrier I get.

I'd say she has more development than just that, she seemed to be the only one in her session that wanted to work together harmoniously despite the hardships. The others being too wrapped up in their issues with Jake being the primary force against this, hence her attempt to get them to sort things out at Jane's birthday party. She tried, it didn't work, but you respect her for keeping her head up in these things, much like John obviously. The difference I'd put forward between the two is that John's positive thinking and friendleading was just natural to him, he did it without actually trying to. Roxy's seem more intentional, given that before the game she was pretty reliant on Calliope to just inform her what was likely to happen.
Both John and Roxy needed a boot up the behind from Terezi to sort their shit out anyways, though you're right that once again that development gets completed off screen for whatever stupid reason. I at least appreciated that she had her mind set on helping Calliope and followed through with it by asking for help from John. But your point has a lot of truth to it, given how much time they spent together.

This page right here is the reason Act 6 was so shit.
Hussie pretty much gave an emphasis on the first 4 Acts(especially in the recaps) that he was unbiased about his characters and their aspirations.
Him delving into his Tumblr fanbase really sucked the creativity right out of him.
