>checked again when Vriska came back again and we have two versions of Vriskas. (Both are fucking terrible and post-retcon "evil" Vriska is suffering no consequences other than permadeath.) Also Karkat didn't win the Terezibowl? Wasn't his whole character arc wanting to be Terezi's boyfriend?
>Also Caliborn was hilarious.

What the flying fuck happened? Did Hussie give up around the beginning of Act 6 when he wrote Jane, the most boring as fuck character ever?
What the fuck was the point of Karkat? Yeah, classic meme question, but it seriously pisses me off.

I think we've already went over everything wrong with homestuck, so let's talk about stuff that was good. For example, the intermission.

While the comic eventually turned to shit, the thing I loved the most was the idea of playing sburb with my friends. I loved it so much, in a fit of unparalleled autistic devotion I've spent the last two years of my life single handedly making a Sburb based tabletop game that lives up to all the expectations the comic left me with. Me and my friends are one players quest away from fighting the Black King, and I will be publishing a fully playable guidebook this 4/13.

The momdad kids were a failed attempt to bring the comic back to when it was about kids discovering a mysterious and mystical land and trying to make their way through discovering it and themselves. In the end it failed because 3/4 of the characters sucked ass, but I get the attempt.

Karkat was just a fun character who didn't have much a place in the plot. And the running gag was that he thinks he's an important leader, but he's probably the single least important main character in the story.

No, what pissed me off the most was that flash where you meet all the Alpha troll kids through whatever stabby mcGee's name was. Not only did it validate the absolute worst parts of the fanbase and provide an exposition dump of horrible, horrible characters that have nothing to do with anything, but in the center of it was Alt-Vriska who would continue to do this as well as turn the plot into an atrocity that had to be erased to be "fixed."

Caliborn was a little shit. I didn't really care for Caliope, but she was miles better than her brother. That he killed her and suffered no repercussions really rubbed me the wrong way.
>>
>>90868436
>but he's probably the single least important main character in the story.
Kanaya arguably.

Karkat at least successfully (relatively) leads the trolls to victory in their session, but Kanaya is a plank the entire way through the plot.

The matriorb was a form of resolution. "Getting the Egg somewhere safe" seemed far closer to home and closer to the actions of the characters as a goal than the actual goal of SBURB. The amount of distance between the characters and the intended mechanics of the game being another recurring issue of the story, after all.

I don't know where you got the impression that Kanaya was supposed to be the mother figure of the group; that was clearly Karkat's role.

Despite every shitty thing she did and how she was literally shoehorned back into the plot multiple times for no reason, Vriska still was the best written character in the comic by the end.

That's not a positive for Vriska, but a negative for the entire fucking abomination of the comic.

I'd honestly blame Lord English more.

Notice how he was only good when he was this vague idea, this vague shape of an ultimate villain. Then when he became a manchild, he was more thematically appropriate, but whoops, Hussie couldn't think of a way for the characters to beat him in a thematic way because he was too busy going on a meta wank because now not only was Lord English an all powerful time lord who was also a manchild, he was also a meta commentary on people who dislike the comic or whatever?

Lord English was way too many ideas stuffed into one conflict that got resolved in the clumsiest possible way. It could have been about the trolls helping the kids beat Bec Noir and solving Sburb and not only would it have been simpler, it would have just made a better story. Instead Hussie insisted on introducing character conflicts without tying them to the plot or its resolutions and it just fucked everything up because he made a villain that really honestly had NOTHING to do with the main characters. Yeah sure he shaped the world around them but when at the end you have the characters themselves wondering, "Why are we fighting this guy?" then shit, that's actually a really good fucking question that the story never bothers answering because you barely ever see them fight the villain at all.

Honestly, what Homestuck became was so crushing to me. To me and a lot of people, Homestuck was one of the best internet-made works out there, certainly the only plot-based webcomic worth reading from start to finish unironically. You could tell Hussie really had a lot of fun with it, he interacted with the fans, made references to memes and theories.

Then Act 6 came and he just fucked it up. Like always, the cancer that is Tumblr swooped in and ruined everything. They were his biggest fanbase, so he (at least felt) like he had to cater to them and just filled the damn thing with worthless SJW bullshit. Then he just kept having pauses, getting bigger and bigger each time to the point it was hard to even care about Homestuck anymore because it was so long since it updated. Then he just started blatantly outsourcing to other, usually shitty, artists instead of giving us the charming visuals he'd been providing the first five Acts.

All leading up to a half-baked, still incomplete ending that just leaves an empty feeling inside.

Homestuck had the potential to be one the greatest web THINGS ever, but it got ruined. It's like watching a kid grow up and getting straight A's in school, but then in college becoming a drunken drug abuser that's a hollow shell of their former self. It's just depressing.

You apparently weren't around when this was possible to take note of. Huge numbers of tumblrites who "skimmed" Acts 1-4, who skipped up until the Trolls, who skipped the fucking Intermission.

And tumblr produced the most content because they were the largest site that had any sort of Homestuck presence.

It'll be hard to tell. Some people will call it a dumpster fire out of spite, and some will do it to troll. Some people will put it on a pedestal to feel better about their own (financial / emotional) investment, or to spite the first group of nay-sayers. Trolls trolling trolls.

I'm still pissed how wasted Lord English was. He was so mindblowingly powerful, yet barely felt like a threat. Most characters didn't really give a shit about it. He never even managed to kill anyone important. Just Hussie, Calliope (but she got better) and some Doomed Ghosts.

Theory: Caliborn gains the souls of people he kills and they get added into Lord English and himself retroactively. That's why he's the embodiment of old Hussie, because he actually killed old Hussie. The Hussie in the dreambubbles is a fresh self insert and the one that would turn into the numale we all know and love. (Proof: that Hussie mishandles Hiveswap's budget. Just like real life!) Homosuck is Old Hussie's soul trying in vain to complete his webcomic.

Note: Caliborn doesn't absorb the souls of the ghosts he kills, because he's actually destroying those souls and there's nothing left to absorb.

Black King: endgame raid type boss for a DikuMUD like Everquest or World of Warcraft.
(White King: also endgame raid boss?)
Black Queen: endgame "puzzle" type boss for a TinyMUD like Discworld or AmberMUSH.

Jack Noir was a named NPC that took over the Black Queen role, endgame could've been espionage, or a grand caper like a fantasy "Ocean's Eleven". But Jade & Bec glitched their game by giving one of the run-as-root game constructs as a pre-entry prototype.

On top of all this is Lord English, who is playing PvP, and not only is is playing NewGame+ after finishing his game in Nightmare difficulty, he's also hacked his copy of the game by breaking shit with the crowbar. He's the kind of shitbag that has not just level cap but also best-in-slot and realm-first gear, managed to hack his own game to give himself mod access so he can ignore safeties, and then goes to the starting area for other players just to one-shot them and laugh in the chat window.

That's what I'm saying. He added up to jack fucking shit. He was just a villain to say there was a villian. Also, why the shit did we need to introduce literally anymore Villians past the scratch. Villians have no importance if they have no buildup and no satisfying resolution.

The worst part is that even old Hussie could've made the joke with John not caring if he just did a small flash of build up to John freaking out before doing a fake out and then having John talk about not caring. Hell not even a flash, just a few panels would've done the job.

Honestly it's a bit of both.

The trolls taking over the comic swallowed the space to resolve SBURB. If they had stayed resolved at Murderstuck they'd have been fine, great even, but Hussie didn't have the discipline for that.

Lord English was ultimately a disappointment because, yeah, Hussie's too up his ass and cannot bring himself to let his protagonists be heroic because muh subversion so four great characters end up as depressed useless sociopaths while a minor early act villain saves the fucking day.

>>90867658
Act 6 began before the Kickstarter, and the comic was already spinning its wheels by that point.

Honestly I don't think that Trolls, Ancestors, and Alpha session were a wholly bad idea, but the way he presented them was. He should have cut the fat and gotten to the point of each of those ideas much faster than he did. There didn't need to be an entire year dedicated to Trolls.
>>
>>90869170
Act 5-1 contains some of the funniest moments in the entire comic, only rivaled in that regard by the Midnight Crew intermission. Hussie's brand of comedy lies in the absurd, and writting a race of aliens gave him an opportunity to really showcase that. While the act did suffer from pacing issues, having too many characters, and introduced cancerous elements both into the story and the fanbase that would eventually ruin the story, the act itself is fine.

Homestuck really started to go to shit when Hussie started telling instead of showing, when it really became apparent that he was writting himself into a corner (aka, the Scratch intermission).

Not even the Trolls as a whole. It was literally the big page that went off on a tangent about Troll romance that did it, and Nepeta's existence as an actual in-universe shipper just invited the shipping bullshit that ruined the later acts in.

>>90878021
How funny was pissing two million dollars down the drain?

Hussie did it because he knew holding out on classpects kept people hooked to the comic, and it let him change his mind on shit. You KNOW the mechanics of classes changed, because classes as a challenge for the person to grow into got tossed out when Hussie gave up on Homestuck being a coming of age story.

At which point did the original versions of everyone John knew disappear?

>>90879545
post recon i guess. the only original version that still exist is Roxy(Someone he just met) and Sorta Terezi.(Mind power shenanigans)
>>
>>90879491
I don't know why they made Dirk a hyper competent super genius who's such a great warrior they need a special boss to beat him oh right yes I do.

>>90879545
Act 4/5 for Rose, post-Grimdark she never spoke to anyone until she became Kanaya's fuckpuppet
Dave had a dark period when Terezi got in his head he never really recovered from but never totally shit the bed until the toxic masculinity rant when he became tumblrfanon Dave.
When Jade obeyed Calliope and turned back to her tower-self because being a hero was hard and scary.

In Equius's defense he was literally defending her from Vriska's murder conspiracy.

Eventually 4/13 will become a fading memory where one year it will get skipped and no newspost will occur, but it won't be this year I feel.

I have a persistent idea about Sburb: what if the White King could be the endgame boss fight? They players put their support behind the forces of Derse where frogs are forbidden. Would the players still breed Billious Slick in secret? or would there be a different mechanic in the game for conceiving and propigating a new universe?

Both, or rather I'll make one on tg and post a link here. https://skrub-ttrpg.tumblr.com this is where I keep information on it, though I've started making a habit of posting 'patch notes' of the recent work I've done on the game to here and reddit.
>>90880586
Back when Homestuck was still popular it was, but that's five years past. And it has been no easy task, though I've had the benefit of having the comic be 'completed', meaning the lack of an ending and any real closure has freed me to do what I've always needed to do, which is bullshit everything. That pissed me off as much as everyone else here, and has made me regret wasting so much time and effort on a thing that no one will give a shot about or probably ever play. But I'm going to finish it, for no other reason than simply to test my abilities, to exercise my creative power.

>>90879972
In the year 2009, four kids play SBURB, a reality-warping RPG. It's basically Jumanji: world-ending edition.
SBURB lets them escape the apocalypse by pulling them into an alternate dimension, composed of a few planets filled with quests.
In the process of playing the game and then escaping, one of the kids accidentally gives godmode powers to a dangerous NPC called Jack.

Jack the killer NPC ruins the kids' game session until they can't hope to win. Meanwhile, internet trolls contact the four kids and harass them.
The internet trolls are actually aliens playing their own, separate session of the game. They say Jack crossed into their game and ruined it.
SBURB's purpose is revealed. The game is a bargain between two cosmic forces with opposing views on whether to create new universes.
The game pops up on a sentient species' planet, causes the apocalypse, and pulls kids into it. A new universe is created if the players win.

It turns out the aliens beat the final boss, created the kids' universe (ours), and should have been let inside to become its rulers/gods.
But Jack the killer NPC popped in right when they should have gotten their reward and ruined everything, so now they're are hiding from him.
The kids use the "Scratch", a device hidden within the game, to reset the session and erase Jack while they escape somehow.
They manage to flee, but Jack finds a way to jump into the aliens' game session. The aliens can't hide much longer, so they escape too.

They meet the kids in the vast void between two game sessions. Meanwhile, Lord English, a time-traveling demon worse than Jack appears.
It turns out the Scratch resets the entire universe. In the new universe, the kids' parents (but teen-age) play the game instead.

(This is when the story becomes a mess of pointless bullshit I can't really sum up. I can write a paragraph about it if you want me to.)

Then again it always felt kinda weird how Dirk was incredibly similar to his alter-ego, while Roxy was kinda Mom Lite, and then Jake and Jane, who... [laugh track]

>>90879814
For a while I liked the trickster arc because of its message. If you give Mario the star every level the game stops being fun and you learn absolutely nothing, and when you're in the final castle and the star cheat stops you're screwed.
Then this shit came up and apparently Hussie likes his Action Replay more than he lets on.

"what if good guy was bad???"

You could do Prospit agents as antagonists, especially holdouts who CANNOT DEAL with the fact that the Shining Kingdom is doomed to die as part of the cycle of Sburb. But the whole nature of Derse is to aid the horroterrors (or whoever, it kept changing) in stopping the cycle of rebirth.

A good angle could be the Derse players RECLAIMING Derse from the cultists who run it, but just "no now propsit is the demons" is a bad move, I think, because the conflict isn't about good and evil, it's about buying time so the players can take over the role of stewards of life and hope.
>>
>>90885427
Yes. SOME reference to the joke he built up years ago would've been great.

Bro was never a robot builder, that was Grandpa. And yeah that is my point, Jane and Jake got fucked by Hussie trying to pull a switcheroo but somehow Dirk was immune to not really being a badass.

Yes. Karkat's arc becoming Dave's fucking housewife is the worst shit ever.
>>
>>90886561
if it was presented before the retcon and played with or even teased more then it would have been an alright canon ship. nut how it's handled now is more or less just to make the tumblr fandom feel justified in the whole "het lens" thing or something.
>>
>>90886501
They're better when they're at each other's throats. When they're fighting over Terezi is hilarious. Them being lovey-dovey is awful.

>>90886742
Nah, i mean they became close friends after the three year trip. after 2 years of fighting over Terezi then 1 year of putting that aside, there was nothing romantic about their interactions. They were just friends.
>>
>>90886561
Wait it fucking became canon?
I thought they were just kind of becoming bros and riffing on each other, since Karkat was basically the only non-insane troll, how the hell did that happen?

Exactly what I thought before the whole tumblr controversy.

No ship aside RoseXKanaya became canon. All the others are ambiguous at best. And that's the problem

It's an okay ship, just... not in canon.
Honestly if you're glad it happened in the comic, who minds?
If you argue it's well-executed and in-character we're going to have an issue. :u

>>90886798
It's canon in that various characters have made comments about it, Dave and Karkat have shown a lot of affection with each other in Vriskagram and talked about each other a bunch, Hussie made a vine about it... but they've never interacted romantically or confirmed anything.
Basically it's a way for Hussie to make M/Money without actually having to write The Gays, just like how he got people to paint Homestuck as progressive WRT race by saying you could draw/headcanon whatever races.

Reminder that Vriska didn't show up at the beginning of the story like John or Dave, or during Act 4 like Karkat. Only a while after Act 5 had started.
Yet she's got more lines than Aradia, Tavros, Sollux, Nepeta, Equius, Gamzee, Eridan and Feferi *all combined*. Waifuism hardly get more obvious than that.

LE can also maintain paradoxes, so he definitely COULD have as many instances as he wants without worrying about tying one instance off before moving to the next Universe.

Whether he actually does, or if he keeps things subjectively linear is anybody's guess.
>>
No one in Homestuck is a main character
You need to do things that matter to be a main character in Homestuck, and absolutely nothing matters in the end, since it's all "scripted" by the will of Paradox Space aka author fiat.

At this point he could put up a picture of the cast holding a "Thank you" sign and I'd forgive him.
Then if he wants a true redemption arc he could make an attempt at actually finishing the story and leaving as few plot points and arcs dangling.
>>
>>90891840
*meant to say, he could replace everything post-GO with a "thank you" goodbye panel and canonize the fact the comic abruptly ends a while before, and I'd forgive him.
He wouldn't even need to write a new ending. Just taking down this one would be enough.

He really does owe all of us an apology for virtually every decision he's made since the tail end of 2012, especially his backers, and especially for choosing to prioritize the adventure game over the comic, which is ultimately the root of every single bad thing that happened to the comic, to his life, and even and especially to the development of the game.

He's also been a huge prat about it all with the endless radio silence, but I know he doesn't suck at PR so much out of malice, he's just actually autistic and can't directly reach out to other people worth a damn.

Caliborn is the most inspiring character in the comic by far, and ends up virtually becoming a positive male role model. Lord English is a different story, but nobody cares about him anyway. All Caliborn did "wrong" was be a dick online and murder a mental parasite that would have killed him if he hadn't made the first move.

When will Homestuck reach the sociopath stage?
>>
>>90890041
If there was a substantial Epilogue that was actually conclusive and satisfying, it would go a long way. Most of the reveals and answers to mysteries have been fine if somewhat bland, and there's time left in the plot betwern now and a proper ending to fix up a few character arcs. Characters like Dave and Rose are write offs, but John is primed, Karkat has been building towards the same goal from day 1, he just neefs to get there, and a little bit of finesse could see Jade and Vriska fixed.

If that all happened, Homestuck would just feel like it had some real rough bits in the middle, instead of being a downward slope, and that makes all the difference.

Of course none of that WILL happen, but it could in an ideal scenario.

>>90893854
There is. It's called Kickstarter. Every single thing that went wrong with Homestuck traces back to Hussie's well-meaning but idiotic decision to put the game before the comic, because, in his head, this was the right thing to do, due to people having paid for the game, whereas Homestuck was always free.

He got scammed hard because he was a naive autist, then his dad died, then his girlfriend couldn't take this shitshow anymore. After all that, of course his writing suffered, plus it completely lost its momentum, which was as integral to the writing process as it was to reading the comic.

I forgot about Jumanji. The cartoon series was probably a thing that prepared me to get sucked into Homestuck. If you're here, you may want to check it out. It's one of those "scary" cartoons and has Adelaide Productions' signature animation style, which people seem to either love or hate.

Hey, so...

While we are all here, can anyone tell me what the point of the Trickster Mode shit was?

...

Thinking back on it, I can't really figure out why it was included in the plot aside from being a massive waste of time...

What was set up?

Did it provide a pay-off to something that I overlooked?

Was there some kind of lesson tucked away in the eye-rapingly bright, neon fever-dream that completely flew over my head?

The tricksters were just to troll tumblr.
At some point, someone asked about the kid's races, Huss said they were no canon races.
Then tumblr discovered that John calls Dave's Bro a "shitty white rapper," and tumblr exploded.
Basically, if Bro = white, then Dave = white, and tumblr couldn't stand this, so got mad and did whatever is tumbr does when mad.
And then we come to Trickster mode, in which the kids are white.
The original page was the pic, but tumblr cannot take a joke, so Huss bent over for his masters and changed the page to the current "PEACHY".

TL;DR It was a troll on tumblr but he didn't have the spine to stick to it, so it kind of went nowhere.

So in other words neither of them really overcame their issues and are codependent
>>
>>90899218
Nobody but shippers thought the relationship was a good one.

Rose wants a mommy she can rub up against, Kanaya wants a badgirl she can care for.

Also, FIX THE FUCKING FORUMS, considering how much cool fan shit from early HS is lost from there.

>>90899182
Nah, humbled like made sweet, non-issue related love to.
>>
>>90899294
They'll never fix the forums, the people there all hated the post-Vriskagram stuff and would be his closest critics.

「that」 would just confirm her mistrust of people.
What would humble her is find someone genuinely good and sincere... aaand she probably finds out how genuine they are after she hurts that person by being suspicious.

John's not a rapist

It's not rape if it's Rose.

you don't fix people like Rose, you just break them more and more until they're unable to care

>>90899449
but i miss the memes

>>90899449
At least, just....put an archive up. There's too much there to just be gone like that.
>>
>>90899182
Source?

>>90899806
They aren't gonna put that up because even by the time it went down people were done with Hussie's shit. Best to pretend it didn't happen instead.

Wasn't the Alpha Timeline defined by summoning of English? What would be the point if he can be summoned in other timelines?

Why does Hussie hate John and Jade

Seconding, image search gives nothing.

>>90900630
You have to image search your heart.

>>90900654
I have no heart.

Followed in Hussie's footsteps and made a bogus Kickstarter for a comic she never actually made, tried to win Strip Search by wearing as little clothing as possible on the show (may have not realized the name was a pun), ended up working for Blizzard.

I open a Homestuck thread and scroll past lots and lots of shipping butthurt until I see a cool idea about a potential story direction.
I write it down in my notebook. Then I scroll down, past the shitty porn, past the /pol/tards, past the Jojocancer and the Bowmanmemers.
I've only read Homestuck to steal interesting ideas; even though it's over now, you still come up with new ones.
Thank you.

It's OK, I write down the username of every anon whose ideas I steal, and give them proper credit later.
>>90900924
Let's put this into perspective. You put up with Rose's bullshit because you love it. You know you like this cheeky lesbian. Accept it.
