Andrew? Andrew Hussie? Is that you?

Andrew, I can't and won't make this any simpler for you.

You failed at life. You failed. When one thinks of what man is capable of, pushing himself to the limits physically, mentally and emotionally to achieve heights of success never before mentioned, your name will not be whispered in the same, reverent fashion that others have.

Nobody will remember Andrew Hussie. You aren't even a header or a footer in the career of someone else. You are nobody. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

In short, you are an enormous failure.

Andrew, being that you're about 35 years old and your brain has probably hard-wired itself to accept such failures by now and write off such criticism by being "flippant", really suggests that you've passed beyond the proverbial breaking-point. There's no turning back. This is your career, this is what defines you and this is what you'll defend to the end.

The abhorrent failure that is MS Paint Comics, Andrew Hussie, that is your legacy.

Maybe I'm over-reaching, however. Who knows? People CAN change. Maybe you'll read this, Andrew, and think long and hard about what a wasteful life you've led. Maybe you'll think, "wow. It's incredible just how abysmal and pathetic I really AM!" Maybe you'll lift some weights in the morning. Maybe you'll take a self-help class.

Maybe in a couple of years, Andrew, you'll have learned from this failure. I doubt it, though.

I genuinely doubt it.

Now excuse me, I have to work on Undertale 2. My accountant estimates over sixty million dollars in sales.

To all the morning crew who missed it last night, I updated the threesome fic in the last thread.

>>84269998

Pretty sure you're right, then again, Dave's not really thinking straight at the moment.

>>84270311

Next smut fic, after this and my non-smut Windy Boy Ave fic, is Karkat with Porrim and Kanaya. Unless by "the fun", you mean Roxy's vagina (which I sure do), in which case not until the Orgystuck fic I'll make at some point.

>>84274387
a tulpa is when a mentally ill person concentrates REALLY HARD on pretending their waifu or husbando is real
at one point they will reach a stage of delusion intense enough to hallucinate this character in the physical world
they then fool themselves into believing they're having imaginary sex with this character.

so basically, like multiple systems/fictionkin, but instead of roleplaying as if the character lives in their head, they pretend he or she is real (but only visible to them).

it's pretty sad.

That's just an imaginary friend, isn't it? That's what children do when they're still learning how to socialize and empathize with other people. It's a healthy part of child development, but even little kids know it's not real it's a game. There was a whitepaper on this recently, I got to hear some of the interviews. The kids were really charming: they'd insist their imaginary friend is real, but if the adult interviewer was playing along a little too well, sometimes the kids would stop the interview to say "you know this is a game, right?"

Tulpas sound like a way for adults to act like infants, but even little kids know the difference between an imaginary friend and a real person.
>>
>>84275149
The clear difference is mental illness in the adults which kids are highly unlikely to have, or certainly not anywhere near as strong or developed as the adults.

>but even little kids know the difference between an imaginary friend and a real person.
Even the people who actually believe in tulpas know the difference between them and a physical person.

Keep in mind that the people you're speaking to aren't trying to give you an accurate description of the subject. They're offended by it and are trying to make sure you'll be as offended as they are. It's inadvisable to base your understanding of a subject on secondhand info from people who hate it with a passion.

Is it a psychoci delusion, where their getting conflicting stimulus and perceiving the imaginary friend, or is it a neurotic delusion where they are asserting the imaginary friend's reality so strongly that they're distressed by the contrary (absence of) physical stimulus?

I keep posting Jake to be on-topic, but Jake's case isn't really the same. He might've had imaginary friends growing up alone on the island after his grandma died, like a ghostly version of someone he'd talk to in chat rooms, but his hope powers made this imaginary friend real enough to be actually seen and heard. I'd worry he was having a psychotic episode, but then other people could see Jake's imaginary friend too.

It is. Brain Ghost Dirk is pretty much exactly how a tulpa works, at least according to the people who actually talk about them. The main difference is that it comes from magic instead of mental exercises.

Male Rose would definitely hit on female Dave, but Dave would be gagging for the John D by the time they meet up given their personalities mesh really well in a positive manner. Though that being said, if fem Dave is just as insecure as regular Dave then it's hard to say if they'd work in a relationship, if nothing else they'd be best friends with possible benefits.

Female Dirk would probably go for Jane, she fits the trophy desire but in a more traditional, homely wife manner.

>>84280461
Well they can do most of that as best friends, that's the fallacy of shipping in that characters can be close without being in a romantic relationship. John and Dave are bros, bros with good chemistry and most people who like the comic likely enjoy their dynamic just as people enjoyed Rose and Dave's barbed interactions despite their obvious friendship.

But if Dave sorted his shit out and somehow sexual attraction appeared then I guess you could support it with solid reasoning. Bit of a stretch though, some characters just work better as friends in my mind.

a quick tip for whoever is interested
>>
>>84280617
Well yeah, but it's somewhat similar and has parallels with the whole, they work just fine as best bros thing. John and Dave are more positive in their interactions and for humans positivity in romantic partners is rather important for sustainable relationships. Then you add in the big fact that John's only into girls and yeah it only really works when Dave's a girl.

Dave and Karkat work perfectly fine as bros with a slight rivalry or antagonism in their interactions, but both clearly caring deeply about each other, similar to Dave and John in that latter regard. The difference being John has shown Dave already how capable he is, so he doesn't have to be as worried about the guy, Karkat on the other hand is still weenie central. The problem is they both have such massive personal issues that their verbal bouts could quickly turn sour, the same thing would likely happen if one of them was female as well just to move past that whole stigma.

I'd say Tavros is much less intelligent that Calliope, but they are strikingly similar. I heard a fitting description of Tavros's shortcomings from someone who was writing a story with him in and commenting on how to write the guy. They stated that Tavros is easy to write for as you just have him respond with the worst possible thing someone could say in a specific situation, then add some um's and uh's in that. Calliope at least attempts to be helpful, if a bit vague.

Tavros is certainly not as educated as Calliope, and he definitely says some really stupid crap every now and then. But he's got some noticeable emotional/social intelligence and a strong sense of right and wrong that he does actually act on.
To reduce him to "just write the worst possible response" doesn't do the character justice. No wonder he's always written like shit in fics.

>>
>>84281234
Oh no I didn't intend to reduce him to just that, was merely an add on that sprung to mind given the subject matter. One of the key things with Tavros throughout the story is that he tries to do things he feels is right, he just falters when people confront him and his process, similar to Jake really. I was sad we didn't get more time between the two to help round out the scraps of what Jake's arc ended up as.

Tavros has always had that ability to get people behind him, even his primary antagonist in the form of Vriska wanted to hang out and interact with the guy. Again there's similarities with John in that regard, another character who could have been interesting to see interact with him, or Dave too for that faux confidence into actual confidence story sub plot. Either way, yes he's not just a less intelligent Calliope, but damn if they aren't similar in many ways. The big thing both need is self-confidence and direction so there's easy parallels there as well.

As for being written like shit, I cant say I disagree. He's a slow burner, needs time to sort things out through his own methods. We saw glimpses of that when he first confronts Vriska on the meteor and that's really what writers should have focused on for the guy.
>>
>>84281208
Active aspects are internal, Particular, local, logical and static
Passive aspects are external, Universal, broad, intuitive and dynamic

There's already passive and active classes, why the fuck not for aspects? Extending it this way makes much more sense to appropriately understand the passive/active Class dichotomy and how they relate to their respective kernel (aspect).
>>
>>84281489
Fuck Tavros.

If Vriska never bullied him, Karkat would have been blown the fuck out and his leadership stolen by Tavros.
>>
>>84281489
John was a dick to Tavros though.
>>
>>84281513

because classes are passive / active methods of accessing aspects, which are core elements of reality

to arbitrarily lock an aspect to being passive is retarded

Few hours late post, but

The way I see it, Mages are surrounded by their aspect without ever truly reaching their potential. Think of it as an active Page. For instance, despite dying 2.5 times or whatever, Sollux is still technically alive. Surrounded by doom, not ever reaching it. Or Meulin, as a Mage of Heart, and courtier extraordinaire, only ever getting into a dead end moralliegance.
>>
>>84281603

that doesn't really mention their expert manipulation of their aspects tho

like sollux being a master coder with a language that was pretty much the representation of doom, and meulin was a master matchmaker

i like to compare seers to oracles and mages to wizards. oracles see and guide the hero, mages study magic and manipulate it

but eridan destroyed his aspect just like dirk when he destroyed the matriorb
>>
>>84281594
This merely describes how aspects relate to that accessibility, with passive aspects accessed outside oneself a la passive classes, and active aspects utilizing those aspects towards one.

It's the difference between "Player who does X to aspect" and "Player who through aspect does this via X."

I imagine most people would be to Tavros upon first meeting him, the guy kind of asks for it even without intending to. But given the similarities to Jake, John could have been a positive role model for the guy given he's not the smartest guy but he lets his convictions lead him and it usually works out. Tavros is much the same in that regard, when he went and did what he felt was right he prospered.

true, but that was a sub-manifestation
it seems like one interpretation is dominant, and the other is metaphorical

I meant later when he left the pirate group and went to create the army, but I suppose you have a point. Following convictions and good will doesn't always end up with positive outcomes, John is a good example of that throughout the comic. But that's the way characters like him and Tavros provide value, pursuing what they believe in.

I'd agree with the more complicated stuff, such as using his retcon powers meaningfully and his planet quest. But even with him acting as the POV main character and being bossed about he still follows his whims whilst doing so and there's value in that in my mind.

Oh, I know, I'm just kind of bothered by the way the fic writer you mentioned summed him up.
Yeah, Tavrosprite and Jake had some interesting conversations, it's a shame they both went nowhere. (Unless you consider Jake kicking Caliborn's ass to be good closure, I suppose.)

The odd thing about Tavros is that he's shown to get along well with others and have a lot of supportive friends... none of which are able to stand up for him : busy, emotionless, insane, obsessed with Vriska, not enough influence on Vriska, etc.
And I think these healthy relationships already hint at the way he could blossom into the ideal friendleader, given enough time away from Vriska. But he doesn't get that for a long while.

John is very irritable and being a dick to him (also see: Prospit ship tantrums) and Tavros is in a real bad place emotionally (Stockholm syndrome out in full force). It's no surprise they got really antagonistic towards each other. But you're right, a genuine and honest interaction between the two would have been golden. A Tavros/Calliope chatlog could have been a great thing too.

And he got along well with Dave, too! I maintain Davetav should have been endgame. Maybe in an alternate story where Tavros was alive on the meteor and cheered everyone out of being passive wrecks and actually made a difference. Kid had one of the highest potentials out of the entire troll cast IMO.

>>84281558
>Implying that's a bad thing
Karkat's obsession with leadership and doing big important thing is not good for him. He needs to find value in himself without resorting to power fantasies (that's something he and Vriska have in common).

1. People are clearly still buying homestuck merch, or welovefine wouldn't regularly create new products.

>>
>>84281996
>Y-you just misread it! It's gonna come out, it's going to be GREAT! You'll s-see!
What am I misreading here exactly? He said he went over to Hussies a few weeks ago to work on Hiveswap, and the first part was writing. Nowhere in the interview does he say "Yeah I went over way back when Hiveswap was first funded 4 years ago", that'd be a rather significant detail to include if it was.

He doesn't even break up the paragraphs or change topics when he says he went over there weeks ago and planned things in the same line of subject.

Well I'd at least argue he was one of the few characters who actually had a complete character arc which stuck to the end of the comic, which is an absurd rarity in Homestuck. His biggest issue is that he was a character who needed development from outside sources when he and the rest of the non-plot relevant trolls should ideally have worked as secondary supporting characters. It's hard to support other characters when you're someone like Tavros with so many personal problems and passiveness given past traumatic events.

The lack of support between the trolls was always something I expected to be contrasted with the kids, it makes sense given the troll's purpose as a whole should have been to add to the story of the actual main characters first and foremost. Had their collective failings in those areas been examined there could have been some interesting plot points and scenes gained from it, especially in the sense of utilising secondary characters more effectively. Then concept of the lacking troll leadership as well could play into all that, given they lacked someone to keep them together outside of just bothering them to do things until they relented. Then you've got an interesting sub plot for both Tavros and Karkat for differing reasons.

Still, I can't complain too much about Tavros considering he got the good end despite just being a secondary character and continuously interacting with the narrative poison in the form of Vriska.

The funny thing is, I think people with more knowledge on art ironically tend to be MORE permissive of certain deviations in approach, like off template anatomy or perspective, if pursued with otherwise keen fundamentals and an intelligent eye toward aesthetics. It's the people with less knowledge who pick and fuss over stuff that just isn't really the "big problem" they think it is, even though they think they're packing hella standards. They don't have the knowledge to fully contextualize what they're observing, and they can't properly articulate their reservations, so they often resort to exaggeration, and QUITE often carry a pretty sour demeanor about it!

I call this Picky Little Bitch Syndrome.

It's not just art. Every field has its PLBs. Movies, books webcomics...

And calling a PLB on being a PLB only makes them grumpier, which only further cements the diagnosis. For instance, any grumpy response to what I've said here will serve as a convenient admission to PLBhood! TIA.

THE FUNNY THING IS. I THINK PEOPLE WITH MORE KNOWLEDGE OF ART IRONICALLY TEND TO BE *MORE* PERMISSIVE. OF CERTAIN DEVIATIONS IN APPROACH, LIKE OFF TEMPLATE PERSPECTIVE AND ANATOMY. IF PURSUED WITH OTHERWISE KEEN FUNDAMENTALS AND AN INTELLIGENT EYE TOWARD AESTHETICS. IT'S THE "PEOPLE" WITH LESS KNOWLEDGE WHO PICK AND FUSS OVER STUFF. THAT JUST REALLY ISN'T THE "BIG PROBLEM" THEY THINK IT IS. EVEN THOUGH THEY THINK THEY'RE PACKING HELLA STANDARDS. THEY DON'T HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE TO FULLY CONTEXTUALIZE WHAT THEY'RE OBSERVING. AND THEY CAN'T PROPERLY ARTICULATE THEIR RESERVATIONS. SO THEY OFTEN RESORT TO EXAGGERATION. AND *QUITE* OFTEN CARRY A PRETTY SOUR DEMEANOR ABOUT IT!

I CALL THIS. PICKY LITTLE BITCH SYNDROME.

IT'S NOT JUST ART. EVERY FIELD HAS ITS PLBS. MOVES. BOOKS. WEBCOMICS.

AND CALLING A PLB ON BEING A PLB ONLY MAKES THEM GRUMPIER. WHICH FURTHER CEMENTS THE DIAGNOSIS. FOR INSTANCE, ANY GRUMY RESPONSE TO WHAT I'VE SAID WILL SERVE AS A CONVENIENT ADMISSION TO PLBHOOD! TIA.

I thought that was obvious. The reason Caliborn was both successful and also ruined is that he was literally just Hussie projecting his insecurity and anger onto the comic through him as proxy. At first he was just yet another internet parody character, then he became Hussie's mouthpiece.

The thing about talking that kind of smack is that you have to back it up with skill or else you look like an asshole

Your patience is appreciated, but the benchmarks of decay were evident as early as Act 6 throughout. By the time the retcons ended and amounted to nothing the series had shot itself in the foot.

I don't blame him, but that doesn't mean I respect him.
Hussie doesn't care about the series, just the cold hard numbers and. He's a businessman, he needs to make money, and Homestuck is his cow. If he has to hole it in a cruel pen, milk her mechanically until she's sick and diseased to get every last drop and profit off her without an ounce of love, that's his model. He's still a dick, but it's just the way he's chosen to make things happen.

The retcon was fucking retarded. Like the idea of a scratch was fine, but "Let's go back in time and save Vriska" is dumb as shit.

Even more dumb is that they didn't save Nepeta and Equius even when doing so would be very easy. Literally "Vriska is the key to cohesion and order amongst the meteor crew", which is like, the exact OPPOSITE of what Act 5 told us

Is Rachel the woman in the horse dress? It's either her or ipgd, and if we can have a clear answer to her identity, I think it solidly determines which one is Hussie's girlfriend now.

It just boggles my mind. Like if we stayed with gameover, we then have a situation where people not only finally got over their shit, which we actually fucking saw, but we see most of them dead. And then you have LE who's literal only threat is 'blowing up ghost'
It was so simple to finally have John and Roxy or whoever to finally give a shit, now instead of a total reset its a race to try and revive his friends ghost before they get busted.
Fucking anything would have been better than the shit we got with the retcon

I might have liked the ending if it had the goddamn nuts to murder most of the cast and then double murder them and keep them dead, and lay out bleak and hateful consequences for them fucking around like idiots for years. Just a cold sober wake up call of "You played the game wrong, you're all going to die, there is no victory, Fuck You."

Leaving John, Roxy, maybe a Dirk who has been kicked in his nuts a few times until he stops crying, and whoever else to try to clean up and survive to an end

>>84283518
I agree, but I would say everything before Game Over was salvageable had things been delayed somehow. Minus the still mind controlled Jade and Jane, the rest of the characters were open to interact and develop and deal with other aspects of the plot before advancing things in the wake. The prime example of this being concluding the business with Bec Noir and developing Lord English as the final boss.

Look up his dad's work. Without his fathers theoretical artistic knowledge and advancing colour Homestuck would never have been. At most Hussie would've created a less over-overwhelmingly popular, less artistically pleasing production that doesn't overshot it's current incarnation.

>>84283890
I know that, I meant he has nothing himself in terms of achievement or income, he's just some loser living off of a trust fund

Sounds fun to me, I always liked the idea that not all Subjuggulators are alike, there can be more fancy variations as long as they fulfill their primary function as subjugaters who worship the mirthful messiahs. Gamzee was likely an incredibly violent purple blood as is, given his connection to Kurloz, LE and the sopor slime's mind degenerating effects.

But a deep indigo blood could work well for similar reasons, in that they have the increased aggressiveness associated with being higher in the blood castes but they have a manner of control over it, especially with the help of a moirail as was the case with Equius. My fan troll is a deep indigo blood coincidentally enough, who has sporadic aggressive periods but when calm tries to act like a stuck up but personable noble.

Kind of an underselling of his talent. He has a Master's Degree in computer science from temple university and his art skill just came about from talent and self-teaching alone. (I mean in terms of the whole. I'm sure he's taken some classes or education but he's not formally trained to the point of it being an artistic degree or anything)

And he was involved in that patent, it was an App and he was just involved in the Programming portion.

>Homestuck was a monumental failure
Artistically and as a personal achievement in storytelling? Sure.
Financially and as an internet phenomenon? C'mon, "monumental failure" is how one would describe ctrl+alt+delete or a shit webcomic like Exiern. Just because the ending was shit doesn't mean it's not an accomplishment.

There's no doubt Hussie is well off, believe me. I lived in MA, and I went to Amherst and the surrounding towns a lot on visits. It's all super rich white people hiding in old houses. His family has money, probably good chunk left from his dad, and now he's a 40 year old freeloader with nothing to show for it. I hope Byron is actually productive and successful.

I still do not get why go though the whole trouble of the Retcon if it was to only bring virska back. oh wait you told terezi "you dont need him!" and proceeds to not interact with any of the guys and only vriska. because vriska is the answer to everyones problems. Want to hate fuck a faygo addict clown but dont know how to say no?? Vriska to the rescue!

got mother issues with your dead mom and are getting stressed about meeting a ALT version of her so you result to alcoholism? never fear vriska is here!

Dont want to fight the "final boss" of your game and his younger self who can fuck up the rest of your timeline?? well vriska knows what to do cause we're dumb as shit!

its like you got the power to change everything, but the only thing you do is bring vriska back and make karkat take daves cock. i just dont get why the retcon was necessary
>>
>84283491
Same. I was fucking obsessed back the comic during the Gigapause, and I remained obsessed the whole time even after Homosuck got too long for my tastes, and even right when Game Over happened.

But after Game Over I felt this feeling of intense dread slowly creeping up inside me.
With every panel we spent on house juju shit I felt dread. With every line of (Vriska)/Meenah bullshit I felt dread. With every password screen I felt dread.

When Vriska came back to life I was ready to power through if it meant Hussie would save the story. He could! He wouldn't let Homestuck turn to shit, right?? It was good for SO LONG.

I was clinging to my last strand of hope even through the eerie, disturbingly OOC conversations between the meteor crew. It was obviously a trick. They were being mindcontrolled, it was all inside a fanfic, it's a joke from Hussie. But then it kept going and going and going.

At one point I gave up on that last strand of hope. For the first time ever, I skipped updates. I didn't dare look at my RSS feed. Collide almost brought my faith back, but then Act 7 happened.

Those who said Act 6 was unsalvageable the whole time are fucking idiots. It could have been fixed at any time before shes8ack. ANY TIME. But it wasn't because Hussie is a giant idiot and an asshole.

Fuck that guy.
>>
>>84283823
I like that way of avoiding the retcon without avoiding Game Over, particularly how it ramps up the threat of LE whilst allowing the actual main cast of characters to still interact. One big issue though is dealing with Bec Noir, if we're talking about doing things right whilst still ignoring the retcon then that's one huge thing which has to be put right.

Because she lost the kids are stuck in paradox space forever and LE remains undefeated. They lay in their happy lie of an ending where they know they're still going to have to defeat him, the planet is going to be a horrid dustball for Caliborn to be born and LE wins in the end.
It didn't go anywhere.

>Financially and as an internet phenomenon? C'mon, "monumental failure" is how one would describe ctrl+alt+delete or a shit webcomic like Exiern. Just because the ending was shit doesn't mean it's not an accomplishment

Yes it does. Nobody is going to smile and go "Wow Homestuck great" they're going to be embarrassed, or disappointed, or apathetic. The ending was not the only bad thing dude, did you miss how 5 out of 7 years the comic was garbage?

WHAT fucking financial success? He couldn't sell shirts, the books are duds, the game is way the fuck over budget and years late.

>>84283484
Hussie only cares about his own personal entertainment. He gives no shit about being a good writer or making people happy. All he wants is to mock people on the internet doing things he doesn't like. Preferably by making internet comics about them.

>>84283935
I enjoyed Evil Jane a shit ton on re-reading that stretch of the comic, it fleshed out areas of her character that would have been fantastic to see more of either still evil mode or saved from the tiara, like her forcefulness. It makes a nice contrast to John's more wistful way of going about things. Her character arc could have been easily stablished by freeing her of the mind control and having to deal with both her own emotions brought to the surface and the repercussions of her actions to those around her, same with Jade.

>>84283954
Yeah exactly, there's a lot of ways the story and characters could have been salvaged at that point, I think that's a point people can gloss over when talking about the weaknesses of Act 6. By and large, things could have been saved, the retcon was the complete final blow.

He made a lot of very pretty animations for someone who didn't care. He didn't not care, he just ended up unable to do things correctly.

I think I (and a lot of other people) tend to try and pretend Hussie never cared about making Homestuck good, because it was good and then stopped being good and it was a fucking tragedy. It hurts a lot to acknowledge that.

He's not walt disney but there's no way to say it wasn't successful commercially. Nor that it was unless we get any figures, which will probably never happen. Homestuck isn't even my favorite series, and there are many better I'm sure. I'm not saying Hussie didn't fuck up and made countless bad decisions, but it should atleast be differentiated between someone with skill who worked hard (16 year break) but still fucked up in the end, and someone with no creativity or talent and could never make it just because their decisions undid any potential they had in the matter.

I think he cared so much he couldn't handle it and threw it all away because it was starting to wear him down. He was probably literally all like "yeah yeah, your artist friend can definitely draw/write the next comic, I don't care, what pumpkin will pay you."

Too many people praised Hussie for the meta and subversive elements of Homestuck, and he got into his head that's the direction everything should go in. So things ended up unsatisfying and stupid because he was more concerned with subverting "traditional" stories and having a twist every single page rather than telling a good one.

>PM and Jack are busy fighting around Jade and Dave's corpse, John pops in, jack remembers john and John uses the wind to lead both dogs around until Spades Slick Shows up and punches them in the snout for dominance or something
It's not enough. The point is Jack was built up as the primary antagonist they had to face, he was still chasing them down on the meteor and they knew they'd have to fight him once they ended their journey. The four main characters had to square up to him and defeat him in some manner. Personally, I would have only shown the Condesce as being a figure in the Alpha's world pre-entery into Sburb, then not had her influence anything directly until Bec Noir was dealt with. Then you can tie her in directly with LE and develop the two of them as the overall big bad, then the trolls, betas and alphas all have antagonists to focus on that they have personal stakes with, with some development time to stamp it in of course.

Thing is, you NEED contact with your fanbase. You just have to differentiate between actual complaints and just some angry asshole spouting bullshit. Also helps to have a simple mindset: Nobody's perfect, not even you. You can always improve, and not every critic is bad. In the end, try to not worry much, and do things that you like. Works that you like doing and find yourself looking foward to doing will turn out a lot better than if you try to force yourself to pump out bullshit that will attract a wider but shitty audience.
>>
>>84284494
Hussie made the mistake of aggrandizing himself. He developed a cult of personality apart from his work. To fuck up as hard as he did you pretty much have to do it intentionally.

Don't tweet about politically charged issues, don't criticize other people in your field directly... just do common sense stuff and you'll be fine.
>>
>>84284524
That lends to some interesting theories.
What if he tried to contact an animation studio for the production of Act 7, but there was so little oversight that they basically fucked up his storyboards and the end product was something that didn't resemble what he thought? He could have planned little details and very specific, intentional parts that make the ending so much clearer, but were left out in the final product.

If that happened, there's no way he could've apologized or delayed homestuck any further for it, since even telling us would sound like WBS with him goin g"u-uumm this was better but the animation fucked up!"
Hussie is both a humble and egotistical guy to the point where he'd never place blame nor admit that he screwed up, so we'd never hear about it.

The trick is to find a good middle ground between "talk to your fans about everything all the time" and "radio silence".

You gotta SPEAK, but you don't gotta ANSWER. Keep your fans updated about your work as often as possible, but do not answer their concerns and question unless they are DEFINITELY, 100% CERTAINLY not about a charged topic.

>>84284660

>i didn't even think Vriskagram was that bad until i see the payoff was just.....pointless.
Its just
Why did it need to happen? All the shit vriska fixes? It was shit that we just got done dealing with?
Terezi spent to much time choking on clown cum? Before game over she got over it, attacked gamzee and made a plan to do something else, and had that whole talk with rose about things
Rose to busy being a drunk? kanaya finally snapped and rose got the fucking hint, again the conversation between her and terezi where they acknowledge their issues and resolve to move on from them
And then instead of giving us a single fucking conversation, becasue pesterlogs aren't important or the heart of the story, we're just given this single flash and told after the fact 'gee vriska thanks for making us all not such fuckups!'
Its fucking disgusting and I legitimately cannot understand how or why he thought this was acceptable in any form except for the 'lel subversion' meme

>>84284512
I agree with you, but if LE has to be the huge big bad 'super duper omega secret boss' they absolutely have to fight then they need Literally any reason to give a shit
And speaking of HIC its a fucking crime we didn't a single fucking conversation or threat or anything from her to the trolls Like did she even know they had survived the game to that point?

>>84284660
It's the only thing you can ask of your fans in the circumstance really, that they be mindful and be respectful. You can't worry about what fans of something do, you can only influence what you can directly interact with which is your own works, your communication lines with your readers and you as an individual. Nothing else matters, except in extreme cases that warrant a response which you can take a cookie cutter response from the large number of previous examples of this happening, e.g. the whole SU bully shit that happened a while ago.

>Keep your fans updated about your work as often as possible, but do not answer their concerns and question unless they are DEFINITELY, 100% CERTAINLY not about a charged topic.
What? No man don't do that, that's awful. That's what Hussie does and it pisses everyone off, it's the reason we get absolutely no updates on Hiveswap or what the fuck happened to Homestuck at the end there.

It may be a charged topic, but I think it'll be better if you respond to their uttermost concerns and anxieties rather than let it grow into controversy. If fans are wondering "What the fuck is up with this, or where's X thing you promised", you should definitely break your silence and try to hint them that things are going smoothly or not.

Your fans are your lifeblood, especially if they're a source of income and your only audience. Don't disrespect them with silence or feigning ignorance.

Well that's my point, had HIC been delayed then she could have directly tied in with LE, acting as his agent in the session, specifically as the big bad for the secondary main characters in the remaining trolls and Alpha kids, whilst the Betas are more concerned with the overarching threat in the form of LE, where they can team up with the dream bubble characters who are still technically main cast. Then you're set for setting up for the final conclusion whilst retaining characters like Vriska in relevancy. Seriously I was blown away that even the concept of a hard retcon came up when there was a fucking perfectly fine Vriska in the dream bubbles who had an actual character and plot arc going.

As for what HIC knew, fuck knows. I don't even really know how she got to their session. I imagine she had some idea there were trolls about, but I can't say definitively.

Yo that's exactly what I'm saying. You tell your fans what's going on about your work. And only your work. They shouldn't even have to ask what's going on with X project or why you're not updating the comic. Ideally you should keep them updated on the state of your creation as regularly as possible -- there should be no silence in the first place.

When I say charged topic I'm talking about politically charged stuff. If you did e.g. something that turned out to be really racist it's good to acknowledge it and make a sincere apology. But it's extremely tricky to know when something is really offensive or just pissing off a small and very vocal group of people. Sometimes it's best to remain silent about these exact things.

Roxy's just confused, Rose is trying her best to copy her so John doesn't notice

>>84285826
AHHHHHHHH

>>84285916
I could imagine both being quick on the uptake, or planning the swap out for the day secretly as a 'whoever breaks character first loses' type scenario with some big stakes involved.

I found one of Bolin's Myspace rants and it literally ends with:
>I do hope that you've come to terms about spending the rest of your life as a miserable failure.
Bolin was a prophet.

She needs her out of the way for Dave's penis. A pillow accident is the perfect cover.

>>84286045
alright
rose and roxy notice they look alike
roxy dresses like rose for the beach trip planning to flirt with john. John knows she's doing this, probably because rose told him or something.

They arrive. roxy yoinks roses headband and musses her hair up as the two change. John sends wind over to blow roxy's skirt up marilyn monroe style- but it's rose, who says nothing, planning to use it to fuck with him later. roxy immediately sees whats going on and goes to sit by kanaya- rose decides to play along, heads back to change, but john follows her.

Kanaya knows and appreciates it, john cant tell.

http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=39579.52695
3500 pages of Homestuck discussion since 2009, and all preserved. Id recommend taking a read at the most important dates.

>I like Homestuck better than Problem Sleuth, since Homestuck is actually staying focused on its 'gameplay' mechanics, as opposed to Problem Sleuth, which quickly degenerated into batshitinsaneland and JRPG parody. For six months. That was a little tiresome.
