When did Homestuck jump the shark?

The trolls, despite their popularity, hijacked the story and completely destroyed it.

>>89792250
Did Hussie know that people shipped Meenkat and Aranea/Meenah and blew them both the fuck out?

>>89792374
Yes, he fucks with shippers all the time.

>>89792374
Did he realize that he made a 13 and an 19 year date though?

>>89792250
Page one.

>>89792289
The very crux of Homestuck was the kids and the trolls learning to work together to sort out their mutually dealt damages to each others' universes and survive the consequences together in a non-linear, confusing fashion, you horse's ass

>>89792497
The original idea was four kids exploring a strange game, the trolls had nothing to do with it.

>>89792635
the original idea was the most convoluted creation myth Hussie could pull out of his ass. He got the idea after the 'universe is made of quantum part-pickles' sequence in Problem Sleuth. He always planned on the humans interacting with some kind of aliens that had created them

>>89792635
Citation?

>>89793202
Acts 1-2, most of Act 3, and parts of Act 4. FYI Hussie only invented the trolls because he realized he had 12 DNA combos left in Pesterchum usernames after TG, TT, GG, and GT.

>>89793369
Did he fucking say or write that himself? Don't act like you can look into his mind.

>>89793423
Yes. Yes he did.

But spoonfeeding has been a standard on /co/ for years

I miss the sense of a grand destiny the narrative imparted on it's fanbase. And the really early fanfics were, mostly, creative floor shows the likes of which the recent crop of writers don't have the literary understanding, patience, attention span, mental health or hormonal balance to match again. I still say it could have been more. Who here's also posting on the C&C thread on /v/?

Probably because they think growing up on an island makes you literally Tarzan.

You're the kind of fan I just don't understand. 5.2 was the masterpiece that synthesized Homestuck with the drawn-out, overstuffed interlude of Hivebent in a thrilling and fulfilling way.

Some people preferred it when it was just a parody of the text-based adventure genre, I guess.

Andrew Hussie is a self-loathing betacuck numale whose been emotionally castrated by Halftruth and literally castrated by IPGD. All of his friends and employees are SJWs who demonize men and it comes through in his writing of all male Homestuck characters been wimpy and emotionally broken and the female characters as strong independent women who don't need no man.

We used to suggest that new readers read Problem Sleuth before they start reading Homestuck, at the risk of effectively giving them summer homework before they can take the class they want.

I propose that we change this, in the event that someone who wants to read Homestuck cannot be successfully dissuaded from doing so; instead, we recommend that they read Problem Sleuth after Homestuck, so that they can experience a consistently well-written MSPA with a satisfying ending as a pick-me-up from post-Act 7 depression.

MONEY TALKS -- Andrew will be forced to re-examine the myriad bad decisions he made from Kickstarter launch to game release concerning the project and the comic itself, if the game does not make a profit or a noticeable splash of any kind.

Does he owe you a Kickstarter backer reward he never gave you, such as the promised right to beta test the game? Do you feel cheated by his decision to hand off writing the entirety of the game to a nobody from Twitter? Are you upset with how the comic turned out as a consequence of Andrew's focus prioritizing the game's disastrous development, in spite of what he promised on Kickstarter?

Alright. I just did a humble bundle key resender, but don't even have a page for claiming Hiveswap yet unfortunately. If you have a throwaway email, I can keep track of it and send it to you when I actually get something though.

Looking at my humble stuff, I do have a Darkest Dungeon key I never claimed because I played it at a friend's house and didn't like it nearly as much as I thought I would and would be willing to give up for free if anyone here is interested.

But mainly it was the slow realization that all the hype things we were waiting for would be resolved in a whimper.

Jade jobbed in the dumbest way, Bec-noir didn't get a defeat that matched his buildup, LE gets fucked by Vriska of all things (and not even the Vriska that got some goddamn character development)

This, right here, is the reason why Act 5.2 is not a masterpiece (and it's even worse with the benefit of hindsight, knowing that's really all there is to the story). During Act 5, the story shifted gears very abruptly from gradually revealing new details about the plot and setting, to the protagonists just being told straight-up what to do and what their objectives are. Hivebent was designed to be an infodump, and Hussie never quite recovered from that mentality in 5.2.

I'd probably peg the best parts of Homestuck at Acts 2 and 3, because there was still a lot of mystique and Hussie was very good at crafting that surreal, slightly horrifying mood.

It honestly didn't "jump the shark" until sprites started getting thrown together. I was pretty okay with the entire story until Davesprite was ruined.

>>89804374
why didn't davepeta/karkat have happen

>>89804513
Because Karkat knows that Nepeta has a crush on him and he doesn't give a fuck about her?

Because Davepeta or Jane is the Davejade shipper answer for having Karkat fuck off forever?

>>89804534
Who gives a fuck what Karkat wants though?

>>89804534
Karkat/Jane is pretty appealing on its own though. You don't have to be a davejade shipper to see that.

>>89804513
Because davekat shippers get mad when you point out it's a more logical fit. But then again, Davekat shippers get mad at everything.

It was the only pairing I actually rooted for.

It's also the one that got shit on the least in the story. Which doesn't mean it was necessarily well written (I really believe it was leading up to something up until the retcon and then the story shat its organs out), but everything else was just so much worse in comparison.

So, you know. Wish the writing was better. But I do appreciate it was written at all.

Then the story should have been fundamentally different. Saying that because a part of the story is "integral" doesn't exempt it from criticism. If a a "fundamental" part of the story is flawed, then so too is the work as a whole.

>His favorite character is one of the shitty Trolls
So literally any of the trolls.

>>89810548

in the end they were only slightly less turdlike than the worst of the other characters, and the major driving force of the crud writing

not sure how to factor jasprose in

The best thing about Homestuck's shark jumping is that every single reader has their own idea of when it happened, ranging from as early as when furniture started being moved around John's house remotely, to the Act 7 flash. I point to the retcon, personally. But as badly as Hussie fucked up, he must have done something right for it to be so hotly debated as to when he went wrong.

2 months until Davekat!

2 months until endless bitching, homophobe namecalling and smug icels and tipsy screencaps.

2 months until Nussie gets his orgasm from the shitstorm.

>>89812386
i think that's because Homestuck is a mish-mash of different things
i joined because of the troll shenanigans, so i actually enjoyed act 5 the most
but i also appreciate what the early acts did with the game references and worldbuilding and stuff, so i can understand people who were annoyed by the appearance of the trolls
same goes for the later tumblr-ey stuff: people who joined later or stick around for that kind of content are perfectly fine with act 6 or even 7
it's just a matter or taste, i doubt it speaks for the quality of the comic itself
in fact, such differences between the groups of fans can't be good, it only showcases how fucking incosistent your work is

with that said, if by "shark jumping" we mean deviation from the original Problem Sleuth-esque concept, then yeah, act 5, trolls and shipping probably was the beginning of that

I loved Hivebent the first time I read it, but re-reading it after seeing how all of those characters were either pointless diversions, petered out into pointless diversions by the end of the story if they made it that far, or Vriska, it just became a huge drag to go through again. Most of Hivebent is Karkat going on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on, especially when he starts talking to his past and future selves, and after seeing how utterly meaningless his character turned out to be, reading all that text again is like being dragged across a field of broken glass. This applies to Terezi to a lesser extent, and just seeing Vriska's name gives me a headache.

>>89812902
true, it's just that it had some gems here and there, and i happened to like them a bit more than act1-4 stuff
doesn't mean it's objectively better though

t b h that's what Homestuck is, a collection of fun ideas and characters that more often than not get lost in pointless garbage

>>89812902
Reminder that Terezi's character died when Hussie confirmed/hinted Karezi.

>>89813099
You are quite right. I liked the troll stuff a bit more back then, too, because I loved aliens.

>>89813104
Terezi's character died when she killed Vriska because that's when Hussie ran out of actual things for her to do and just kept her around to rot afterwards.

>>89813188
That too. Karezi still doomed her, though.

>>89813439
I suppose it did, assuming she was being kept around to wind up as Karkat's trophy before Hussie was convinced by the devil to make Karkat Dave's trophy.

>>89813517
When Homestuck first ended I was clearly down about it and I had a friend who I said, "Something I like ended and it was done in a really shitty way" and that set him off talking about the Wheel of Time books.

I think everyone has their own long running fandom disappointment.

Why do you all get to still have threads when prequel is forced into /trash/? I guess HS has updated more recently but both are in general territory without question.

I read the fucking comic, by the way. Just dropped out of these threads a few days after the 4/13 bomb.

>>89813517
Because Homestuck's ending was more like a bad breakup to a seven-year relationship than merely a series getting a bad ending. Most of us ate, slept, and breathed Homestuck our every waking moment for at least a handful of years, if we weren't around for all of them. It wasn't just the comic, it was the experience of having new content almost every single day, multiple times a day, from both Hussie and fans. There was always something to talk about, always something to see. Homestuck fandom was a way of life.

The comic ending so badly rendered every second we spent with it invalid, like a romantic partner cheating on you. That's why we behave like we've been dumped, rather than simply being let down by a series.

>>89810451
I liked the t-shirts

>>89813853
/trash/ is furry by mod standards. I'm not kidding or being cheeky, they legitimately hate cartoon animals that much.

>>89810451
What you're saying is true from several standpoints but Hussie was able to get it together in 5.2 and continue writing a fantastic comic.

>>89813873
I mean, I'm not as crazy as this guy, but the daily update schedule did solidify it as an element of everyday life.

Easily.
I'd forgive him if he just released the epilogue and told us his next project already. It's easy to hate the guy now because he's not doing shit anymore that makes him likeable.

It's like a creative 'quirky' friend in highschool who became a pathetic deadbeat and now is just a lazy pot smoking druggie. You'd like him if he just quit that shit out and got his lie together again, if only.

>>89812386
A funnier thing is the shittier comic it got, the easier it got for people to point and say 'It was shit since Act 1', it's like reverse-sour grapes. No one with common sense would say Descend or Cascade were shit at the time they come out, but after the horrifyingly terribad Ending anything was fair game.

>>89813517
>Why is it so hard for us to move on? Were Evangelion and Mass Effect fans like this, too?
I don't know about Mass Effect but /a/ still has almost daily Evangelion threads. Same with the Fate series.

It's not exactly the same though, because even though the ending of the Evangelion TV series is shit, End of Evangelion is a wild journey regardless of whether you think it's good or not and that suffices for most people. These days I think most people just talk about how shit the new movies are.

I used to, yes, they were my goddamn #1. Then Act 5 happened, then Act 6, and it was like who are these people and why are they wearing the skins of my favorite dead characters

I miss when they bitched and snarked at each other. That should have never, ever stopped.

>>89814850
This. Rosemary was great until it turned both characters into empty shells. There was no reason for that, Andrew really has no idea how to handle romance he has to write dialogue for. Mom/Dad was the best canon ship.

I wanna give her platonic hugs

I miss pre-Act 6 Homestuck

It hurts so much

>>89806604
I'm just happy that Kanaya is happy, I wanna protect her smile

>>89814850
The weird thing is they started out as snarky bantering 13 year olds and somehow, had less character as they grew into teenagers proper. Ungrew?
It hurts to think of the logic behind it.

Bleach got Homestuck'd as far as the Ending went. Absolute shit rush end where the final indestructible big bad was killed in basically the equivalent with how LE was.

"Bam, bad guy's dead, somehow. Everyone's happy. Go home, stories over."

>>89815181
I've never read Bleach, but my friend did, and he kept retelling me some recent updates as they were coming out. It was fucking hilarious and sad how both of his favourite comics crashed and burned around the same time in such similar way.

Don't fucking click the spoiler. It's wish-fulfillment and I hate myself.

>>89816428
I notice there's a lot of Knights on here. Likely partially a case of "Everybode Loves Dave/Karkat", but I wonder if there's a personality angle to it as well.

I DON'T KNOW WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE BUT I KNOW THE TYPE OF PERSON YOU ARE

YOU'RE LIKE STEPHEN KING. WHEN I READ THE ENDING TO THE DARK TOWER, IT WAS LITERALLY

>LOL HE ENTERED THE TOWER SHOUTING PEOPLE'S NAMES

AND THEN HE HAS THE AUDACITY TO BERATE YOU FOR WANTING A SATISFYING CONCLUSION AND WANTING TO KNOW WHAT WAS SO IMPORTANT AND INTERESTING INSIDE. FUCKING BELITTLING YOU FOR HAVING CURIOSITY AND SPOUTING SOME BULLSHIT ABOUT HOW
>THE JOURNEY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE DESTINATION

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.

SON OF A MOTHERFUCKING FUCK I AM STILL FURIOUS!

I could actually see that working if she had a beginning incentive to build that relationship, as long as we're talking about the original Vriska, not Nu-Vriska.

Neat.

You do raise a point. If I were to take a realistic, real-world perspective on it, (using human psychology of course) I'd have to assume Vriska was always an insecure weenie and her previous behaviours were compensating, due to a lack of acceptance of being a weenie.

I like to default it to shitty writing, though.

>>89816844
Thats the obvious assumption. Her behavior with Meenah is just a more acute version of her emulation of Mindfang.
