every character is a mary sue. complex personal issues were a mistake

>>84511179
The latter, but she wasn't written particularly well for a main character, given her main personality flaw is just suddenly gone and her secondary flaw is glossed over. Despite that it's more a case of lost potential rather than mary suedom. She was still an enjoyable character who added positively to the story, she just featured heavily at a time when the previously interesting characters started to become much less interesting due to the aforementioned poor writing from Hussie.

>>84511578
Roxy is just smart about using his powers.

Dirk could rend the souls from people's bodies and Jake's Hope powers literally do anything, but they were too gay and angsty to do anything with them

Her (and rose's) alcoholism was unrealistic.
Painfully clear that Andrew wouldn't know an alcoholic if he saw one.

In terms of time actually spent on it by Hussie himself, it certainly seems like it was.

>yfw you didn't actually read all of homestuck

John is the worst character of all. The only quest that was actually personal for him, and had real emotional impact on him, was the idea that he'd face JACK.

Hussie saw this problem and tried to do some kind of beef with Caliborn and John but it was conjured out of thin air over fucking nothing and fell flat.

>>84512169
By the end of the story, there was absolutely obligation to actually care about any characters. Nobody had an actual solid personality and and trace of a personality had no affect on their actions.

John was the worst with this though

>>84512263

Problem Sleuth had more personality than John.

>>84512308
homestuck is a dialogue heavy comic specifically about fleshing out and making 'real' videogame tropes, including character archetypes.

>>84512341

No it doesn't.

reminder that he drew a majority of fast n loose within a month after not doing anything for most of the year

>>84516830
all of the best parts of homestuck were about as rushed as anything could possibly be. how the fuck could rushing be a problem in the context of homestuck. this comic is built on rush. slap it together, upload it, and don't lose momentum. acts 1-4 were rushed. act 5.2 was rushed. the ending isnt rushed it just fucking sucks.

>>84516978
those weren't rushed, they were just fast
the difference is basically everything post retcon is built to railroad towards the ending, thats where you end up with shit like squared sprites just explaining why jade got fucked over or arquius setting up the grist rigs on everyones behalf

>>84517086
or Vriska making Dad's wallet "just in case" and using it to captchalogue the Earth so that Jade can hold it just like she did before the retcon created that plothole

>>84517086
>everything post retcon is built to railroad towards the ending
>thats where you end up with shit like squared sprites
you have to be fucking joking

>>84517143
squared sprites were used to rush concluding characters yes
>>84517122
wait, wasn't jade asleep until after vriska left? when could she get earth from vriska?

>>84517143
the whole purpose of the squared sprites was to justify dropping the pre-retcon character arcs

They're not actually gaps, they're in the place of black lines where black overlaps black. Pic related, see the other trolls' clothes.

>>84511179
The latter.

She was a decent character on the top of a pile filled with shitty characters.
The Alpha kids(except Roxy) and pre-scratch trolls were shit.
The Beta kids were once good but became shit.
Cherubs were more so plot devices than they were characters.

>>84517196
vriska gave the wallet to john before she left

>>84517627
Fair enough. I still think it looks a little strange though.

>>84517737
>Implying Dirk wasn't the best Alpha kid.
The Alpha kid felts so muddled and lacking in characterization; Jane, Jake, and Roxy just kind of blur together with all of the characters (especially the original kids) in the story with their traits. Dirk was the only one who felt unique, new, and interesting.

It's OK if you like Roxy, it's bad if you think she's a good character. Pre-scratch is probably the exact opposite. Good characters and concepts but horribly wasted.

>>84518482
Post scratch trolls were the same thing as >Good characters and concepts but horribly wasted.

Jane and Jake had interesting concepts too but they were so underdeveloped.

A bit unrelated, but it seems a coup d'etat by the army. has happened in my country.

I am pretty fucking scared right now

>lol roxy single-handedly killed one of the big bads because she's that AWESOME

Is there any question?

>>84511179
Every character is actually super broken except the first kids

john, Jane and Karkat

hussie just didn't really care that hard about any particular thing show they couldn't show off that much

she just had two impressive moments that wasn't downplayed by the cast in the last fight we see so it seems she's leagues above the rest but no

>>84511179
she would be competent in a cast of idiots if we actually saw her struggle with her flaws

but she stopped having flaws in the middle of act 6

05/13/15 p. 9430 "anyway, i'm glad we have you back on our side!"

from john's perspective, it was probably less than a few hours between those two remarks

This mindset always baffles me. I won't touch 'that's what fiction's about" or the whole sexism element, but still. Sure thing, there's nothing bad about power fantasy characters, but execution remains key.

A good power fantasy character respects suspension of disbelief. A bad power fantasy character breaks it for the sake of easy writing. That's how Mary Sues are born.

A Mary Sue character is insufferable because it isn't believable. Its flaws are either nonexistent or informed - mentioned in passing. And what reader can empathize with that?

If your character hops over every obstacles with but an afterthought, the power fantasy is worth nothing. It will help no one but the writer, because it's not even a story, it's intellectual masturbation. And no one likes to see a writer jerk off, except maybe one or two guys who are specifically into whatever is being jerked off to. But that's it. Nobody else will be here once you've reached the last page.

Mary Sues get everything on a silver platter. Why? Because the WRITER themselves wants the power fantasy story handed to them on a silver platter. They're lazy, they don't want to write. They want the power fantasy to write itself, for their personal satisfaction.

And that's how you get the Mary Sue: a half-baked character made to cater purely to the writer, who, being lazy, doesn't feel like working on a real story that respects suspension of disbelief and can be enjoyed by other reader.

tl;dr no buddy, you're not being groundbreaking, you're being lazy and you need to stop.

Is Dissension anywhere in Of Gods and Witches? I know I hear Doctor but I can't place the rest.

>>84519536
cascade (beta) is extended/edited from the original version, which lines up pretty much perfectly until the squiddles part then cuts off

Homestuck is a collection of concepts Hussie likes or found funny
even the characters are molded that way, seeing how characters are barely characters, but more like what their class and aspect tells them what they're gonna be like

i guess it's really the only way Homestuck can be like seeing how Hussie constantly updated, and usually only went on hiatuses for business stuff or to finish a long flash

Homestuck just didn't have the time to really make sure things would be consistent, he's pretty much used homestuck to give all his ideas and fantasies

whatever can be said, Hussie is at the very least creative

Hussie learned, over 7 years, what happens when you cry wolf too often!

Reminder that Hussie is a fucking idiot with no idea what he's doing, and an unprofessional nobody with an actual career would be caught dead working with.

>>84519646
>Hussie is at the very least creative
He really is. Nobody should say otherwise. All of this "hussie is shit" crap is really unfounded.

>>84519691
storywriting is 1% ideas and 99% execution
yes hussie is creative but that literally counts for nothing

>>84519712
The execution was pretty good..... for awhile.......

>>84519578
I'm using (beta) and it's still about 18 seconds shorter than the song and its still slightly shorter than the flash even if you cut out the Squiddles. Just saying.

>>84519691
hussie is like a fucking volcano of creativity. most other successful writers are like forges. hot enough to get the job done, and you can use it to make something you can actually use. volcanos are just fire. totally out of control, melting shit and killing people. despite that, i prefer hussie, because id rather someone try to do something amazing than succeed at doing something boring.

what are your favorite kids?

>>84519782
Not Roxy.

>>84519782
Roxy.

>>84519691
execution is just as important if not more than you ideas
being creative is really impressive, since you'd think all the ideas have been done
but with the same old ideas the right execution can make it better than something "original"

>>84519776
well hussie certainly failed to do something amazing, given that the final hour is full of unbearably convenient plot devices and tropes

hussie played the end of homestuck as conventionally as possible, which means that in the end, his volcano was no hotter than a toaster oven

>>84519823
Even the shittiest, original products are usually better than average, boring ones. Usually on pure entertainment value alone.

why does aradia get to go godtier
it's not fair.

i'm not gonna get any upvotes for this but i think the concept and execution were both basically flawless and beyond reproach until act 6, and even then it was hit-and-miss
hussie never planned for homestuck to go on as long as it did, and that becomes extremely apparent at that point
>uh... and then there were, like, some more kids... and some more trolls... and they do... stuff :\

>>84519857
are you saying Mr. Pickles is better than American Dad?

>>84519646
Isn't he also way older than he looks? Like, pushing forty?

>>84519691
Nobody said he's not creative. He just let his creativity run directionlessly until he was able to choose between audiences. He naturally chose the most profitable, which was tumblr, which completely ruined the comic and turned it into a vapid high-school dating sim.

And now he uses seclusion and "irony" to live with the fact that it will always be his legacy.

>>84519879
I think that concept and execution are both essentially good until the retcon, although there is a noticeable muddying of concepts as well as some awkward pacing in act 6

>>84519883
Eeeeeh. You got me there. But that's an exception.
>>84519896
I'm just saying the guy has talent. And I wish he utilized it better.

>>84519852
>act 7 was conventional
>the final boss is defeated off screen because of meta fiction or something is conventional
>its impossible to say for absolute sure the order or meaning of anything that happened in the ending, and that is 'conventional'
part of the reason conventions exist are because they prevent people doing stuff this fucking retarded

>>84519949
ambiguous endings aren't unconventional
if English won, that would be unconventional

>>84519929
>I'm just saying the guy has talent

Talent is fucking worthless if you don't have the professional conduct to do more with it than piss into the wind about how great you are. Fuck talent. I want results, not some mollycoddled daddy money boy telling me he's hot shit on fresh toast because he's oh-so skilled. He lost. His talent is worth *nothing*.

>>84519646
Hussie didn't just come up with good concepts, he executed them well. We definitely gotta give him that. He also had a great narration style and sense of color. The guy earned its cult following, before he threw it all away.

>>84519857
I'd rather read a normal story with a satisfying conclusion than sit through another great work with a shit ending. LOST and ME3 were enough already.

>>84519965
>Hussie didn't just come up with good concepts, he executed them well.
To a point. After a while it sort of became clear that he never really had a plan for dealing with the nihilistic themes in Homestuck, which are pretty fucking significant even before Act 5.

>>84519929
He does. Team Special Olympics was fucking hilarious, because he didn't give a shit about anything or about how anyone would react.

>>84519983
I hate it. I hate all ugly tumblr trash.

>>84519992
Guess what, if you can't stick the landing and see it through, who cares? I wish that too, but his arrogance tore him a new one, and I'm glad for it. What a whiny little fuck with a paper ego.

>>84520046
>tavros
LOL

>>84520043
I know man. It kills me too. I just fight hard to keep a rational and professional attitude in my work, so seeing him go full dumb asshole makes me want to pants his stupid nerd ass until he calms the fuck down.

I mean he's nearly fucking FORTY. This is embarrassing shit.

>>84520059
I just think he doesn't really get it or care. He comes across as having a pretty malformed sense of empathy. All of his characters are just blank-faced to every atrocity in a chilling way sometimes.

>>84520074

feferi

the most telling thing about the ending is hussie stayed firmly in his ironic horse joke persona, despite what the whole resolution with dave was all about
it just makes it seem like he can't follow his own advice

>>84520059
That's not the only example. The retcon introduces a panoply of plot holes as well as some bizarre character behavior. In Act 6, a lot of game mechanics either break down or become unsatisfyingly convenient, including things like classpect powers, godtier immortality, and the limits of dream bubble influence.

>>84520122
Yeah, Feferi.

>>84520110
do shitty baitposts count

>>84520110
Yeah. It's part of why I have a pretty strong dislike of Hussie for shit like this.

>>84519677
Seeing hasbeen artists dickwave like that is lame as hell. I mean his own words ate him, but damn.

>>84520131
what evidence do you have that he's like this in his actual life, though, as opposed to just like, joking around with people taking pictures of him at cons and sometimes posing for ipgd shots

>>84520103
i got the impression that he feels compelled to hide his empathy/true feelings in a similar way to literally every character in homestuck but particularly dave and dirk. so many characters have this exact same issue that it seems pretty improbably at this point that its not some kind of cry for help from andrew

>>84520108
doesn't matter
he's a weenie doomed to kill himself via allergies

his fate is the only one i'm satisfied with

I seriously don't get why Hussie didn't go full mad hog and let John retcon to the point the comic and reality was strained to a breaking point. You know, glitch stuff? To beat English? That never stopped being a thing.

>>84520162
Well, Hussie grew up never working with money and security in a safe little west MA area, I'm not surprised he barely has a grasp on how to express or communicate emotions.

>>84520398
Very good character. Very good tastes.
You probably want to fuck him.

>>84520398
one of the best characters in the whole thing

>>84520389
i think you're missing the point, i'm well aware that i don't know what he's actually like, but i know that he's refused to ever be candid with most people for years, and he's had a history of being overly secretive (people have asked him about hiveswap to his face and he literally says nothing)

so yeah, keeping up the epic horse shtick for years isn't healthy, or good, or any positive word i can think of

>You probably want to fuck him.

that's besides the point! dirk is just really fuckin' cool and gay and basically the only character in the story that feels realistic somehow, even though he does so many unrealistic things

it makes no sense why is dirk so irresistible

It seems like what you're really saying is "I wish I knew more about Hiveswap" and you're kind of making that out to be a personality disorder of the person who won't tell you about it.

I'm not saying he doesn't have one, I'm just saying.

>>84520506
its because dirk is literally andrew. hes good at writing him as a complex character because hes pretty much just talking about himself

>>84520189
That tiny microphone is killing me. It's roughly proportional to what a "real" mic would be if he were on TV or something.

But seirously, shit sucks. I wonder, is this caused by last night's events in Nice, or is it a pure coincidence?

>>84520567
Dirk talking about hating being around his splinters is just a meta way of Hussie ending up hating his self-inserts in the story and the various personas he puts on in real life.

>>84520551
what? i just used the hiveswap thing as an example you twat
like i give a shit about a wannabe telltale game

>>84520551
hiveswap isn't the only thing hussie won't be transparent about
he's pretty much stopped communicating with fans altogether, aside from a bunch epic memes passed along by the Inner Circle
so he very much stopped being sincere in favor of maintaining his memelord persona

why did Jane become so irrelevant

>>84520567

>>84520596
every character in the story is a 'splinter' of andrew. if anyone could be described as drowning in reflections of himself its a man who had been spending 24 hours a day for 3 years (by dirks introduction) focused on nothing but writing characters who are extensions of his persona and seeing millions of people desperately trying to imitate them and him

>>84520623
Good mix of fappable and cute, but the petplay itself was kind of weak.

>>84520783
Man, that's really dark.

>>84520747
why are you so dense, i brought it up because it was a good example of him clamming up
it wasn't a random stranger, it was a then employee that was working on the game, asking about the general situation
and when i said he literally said nothing, i mean he LITERALLY said nothing, as in he was silent

regardless i'm done replying, you're probably gonna go great lengths to miss the point again in a new and exciting way

>>84520783

>During antiquity, Chronos was occasionally interpreted as Cronus. According to Plutarch, the Greeks believed that Cronus was an allegorical name for Chronos. In addition to the name, the story of Cronus eating his children was also interpreted as an allegory to a specific aspect of time held within Cronus' sphere of influence. As the theory went, Cronus represented the destructive ravages of time which consumed all things
