It's the most amazing fucking thing ever for the first third, and then it's a steady decline to one of the worst endings to anything ever. It's the webcomic equivalent of the most awful case of blueballs you'll ever have, and you've missed the window to experience any of the positive parts about it.

Read to the end of Act 4 and then make up your own ending from there for the best experience.

There's flashes of good stuff now and then after that but it involves trudging through a sea of shit. I unironically enjoy Karkat in the comic and I'm still mad how Hussie used him later on

>>91322773
most people liked him in the comic

I liked her at first and I still like her character decent enough. She became too Vriska-esque in the way the entire plot started revolving around her and her terrible relationships at some point in an over-response to how she was mildly more popular/interesting than the other characters, though.

No when Terezi's obsession with Vriska literally brought her back from the dead that was a problem.

Characters with good Arcs Tier List

Good Tier
Caliborn (When you realize Hussie wasted an Act to flesh him out)

Alright Tier
Dave (Good development with Dirk, Obsession for Shippingfucks who he should bang.)
Rose (Debatable after Act 5.)
John (Was generic, but got more complex. Even has a future role in the epilogue.)
(Tavros) (Humiliated Vriska and grew as a character.)

What the fuck happend Tier
Everyone else (Yes, even Jade and Terezi.)

Low Tier
Calliope
Being a fan of a minor troll (Kanaya is not listed and Gamzee counts as one here.)
Being a fan of a Dancestor

I Seriously Hope You Never Like Any Of These Assholes Tier
Karkatfags
Vriskafags

I'd move Jade to alright tier. She had a fine arc, it just took place entirely in Act 5.
But really, so did everyone's arcs. Act 6 was just him needlessly padding it out with stupid shit.

>>91324137

You don't even know what retarded 3d waifus look like.

Karezi was cute. Did not need with them being a couple but having each other's backs as good freinds.

But not even a hug post retcon. Or a conversation. Or anything involving Game Over Karkat who should have been in the bubbles.

If we look at just act 5 alone everyone's okay except maybe John.

>>91324641
Rose could have taken charge, made herself the leader of the group, made all their plans without input from the others, and led the charge against their enemies when they finally reached the new session. Instead, she stuck with what she does best, which is using her powers and intelligence to gather and interpret information, while giving advice and encouragement to her teammates so they can all decide what they need to do.

She needed to learn that she wasn't as badass as she thought she was, and by all indications she did. You can make excuses for her actions, but the fact remains that she did what a person who had learned her lesson would have done.
>>
>>91324713
She just did it in the dullest way possible and without any catharsis for how she treated her friends while high on evil.

>Tavros brought together an army, but he was still a weak bitch
I don't get you. The hell did you want him to do? Beat her up or something?

He got away from her, did what she think he couldn't do, his way, on his terms, for his own reasons, and rubbed it in her face. As far as conclusions to the Vriska issue go, that's as healthy and pleasant as it gets.

The Meenah thing struck me as Tavros not enjoying being a leader and handing out the position to someone he didn't dislike, while at the same thing befriending Meenah. Whether she's friends with Vriska is irrelevant (so was Terezi, after all, and they got along decently).
>>
>>91325105
I'm pretty sure that he meant it in the "I hate lesbians in media because they have no other personality traits and lose all the ones they have when then enter a relationship" sense.
>>
>>91325173
The point wasn't one-upping Vriska, that's the Vriska way of doing things which he painfully spent most of 5.2 doing.

Making such a big deal of it and trying to desperately get on top of people is just what Vriska would do, which I doubt does wonders for his self esteem.

I think it's fine that he built an army, it's pretty goddamn commendable. The thing is is that he used it as a tool to rub it in her face. The fact that he still acknowledges her at all is a sign that Tavros hasn't gotten over her effect on him, making his efforts at recovering his self esteem pretty stagnant.
>>
>>91325183
That's not how I read it.

I mean it did happen to Rose and Kanaya, it's hard to avoid that. Rose lost a ton of her character in order to be blandly, safely happy in Kanaya's arms.

Your personal top 5 worst things that happened in Homestuck?

1. The death of Spades Slick
2. She's 8ack
3. The retcon/"Ultimate Selves"
4. Trickster arc
5. Dream bubbles
>>
>>91325353
I...didn't write that. Wow my first samefriend accusation that's nifty.

I was talking about the origional post that Rose chilled the fuck out after Act 5, which is true, though I don't think her transition from control freak psycho to actual seer of light was done well which is why it reads as Rose doing fucking nothing for the rest of the comic.
>>
>>91325378
>dream bubbles
How would a God Tier/dreamselfless player sleep without Horrorterror help?
>>
>>91325446
Pardon. Not necessarily dream bubbles as they were introduced, but as how they turned out to be an excuse for nothing in the story to matter because there's thousands of everyone. Could be absorbed into "Ultimate Selves."
>>
>>91325378
1. General focus on relationships rather than Sburb
2. Introduction of ghosts
3. Scratch's in-depth of ancestors
4. Flanderization of WV's character
5. The life ring

Retcons only make my 13th on the list.
>>
>>91325183
It doesn't really have anything to do with them being lesbians; I'd make the same argument against a straight couple. It's the principle of flanderization, in which a single trait is overblown to nigh-ridiculous proportions, drowning out any semblance of character they once had. In Rose's case, this becomes Kanaya, and vise versa.

Also, I'm not the other anon. You should be able to tell just by our writing patterns, dipshittio.

As I said before, this is a principle of flanderization. Yes, Rose does use her other traits sparsely throughout A6. However, these are just that: SPARSE. As in, rarely ever utilized, much less utilized well. Her character arc post-A5 becomes dependent on Kanaya almost in its entirety. The few times we see glimmers of something different are more like punches in the gut rather than a respite.

Hamfisting? Really? Of all the things that was "Hamfisted" on Kanaya, that was the least of them. Her whole character revolved around vampire jokes from the very beginning. Her hair even was designed to evoke a shitty vampire cape. Her coming back as a vampire was one of the most overly foreshadowed events in the fucking comic.

He was good, but his intermission was mostly bad, for a variety of reasons. It was, in my opinion, the true beginning of the comic's decline. Lots of gabbing and exposition about shit that doesn't matter and nobody cares about.

Calliope's character is subtle and passive, not non-existent. It's mostly shaped in response to both her brother and her friends.
>in the absence of human socialization she's strong enough to predominate
>combination of her non-destructive nature and the foreign concept of positive alliances leads her to compromise
>killed by Caliborn
>in afterlife she discovers she's presumed to be the only weapon against her now immortal and higher-than-god-powered brother and he's hunting her down
>she knows she has no fighting power, so she hides away in miserable solitude
>recurring themes of low self-esteem (in response to both how she feels her appearance would be shocking to her human friends and her lack of power) and how she's a strange example of a cherub
>is she actually the key to defeating him in spite of how she was killed before she had a chance to develop her powers?
The arc itself had plenty of potential. It was resolved with "her properly developed alt-self was actually the one who could fight him and because that alt-self took the suicidal reins of fighting him now Calliope can go and embrace her unnaturally developed social life." It's not a super satisfying end to it, but it was an arc.
>>
>>91325617
A principle of flanderization is that the characters retain all their other character traits? Rose changed from "Rose" to "Rose in a relationship", which is what normally happens when someone enters a relationship. Despite what some people seem to see, there wasn't an overabundance of scenes where Rose was nothing more than Kanaya's girlfriend with none of her previous personality traits being on display. Instead, we had scenes of Rose developing or acting on her existing character traits, with Kanaya being involved in some of them, which, again, is what normally happens when someone enters a romantic relationship.

Are there any scenes where Rose spends an inordiante amount of time talking about her relationship with Kanaya when she would normally be talking about something "in-character" instead?

Fair enough, but I wouldn't call the character terrible.

I came to this thread to let you know serial killer Dean Corll allegedly stole thin glass rods from his job with the electric company and would insert one into the urethra of a victim before crushing it. This is entirely new to me. I assume this is where that old shitposter got the idea.
>>
>>91326394
>Rose
>Retaining character traits

She lost the entirety of her wit and barely hidden playful nature, her issues with trust and inability to connect with others on an emotional level just kind of evaporated into mist, she didn't project or deflect, she didn't concern herself with maintaining her facade, etc. All off the things that made Rose more complex than a generic "kind of uptight brainiac" were omitted.
>>
>>91326394
No, but when you call people out for their bias against Rose here they backpedal and go "I was just joking!"

Literally nobody was handled well post act 6, but people seem to think Rose was the worst offender. Sidelining the main cast, introducing a new one, then refusing to fully flesh out the new one. It's just bad all around.
>>
>>91326526
>but people seem to think Rose was the worst offender.

One could argue that Rose, who was one of the most pivitol and plot driving characters in the first part of the comic getting sidelined for shit no ones cares about is FAR more noticeable than someone else.
And it directly coincides with her starting a relationship.
>>
>>91326055

I dunno, I think it's a bit of a stretch to consider what he did a desperate attempt to put Vriska in her place. The way I saw it, he was just letting out his feelings, his really silly sense of humor, and his tendency to mock people with a shit-eating grin and no intent to harm.

(Yes, you could argue that the way he trolled Dave in Act 4 or mocked John in the map quest arc were indicative of Vriska's influence, but I think the playful antagonistic way he interacted with doomed Dave in the proto-bubbles was true to his real personality.)

Also, requiring that someone not pay any attention to their bully/abuser in order to qualify for "total recovery" seems pretty reductive, not to mention... even if that was true, it's the second time he's ever been able to stay away from Vriska. I think him acknowledging her presence and mocking her doesn't say anything about the actual healing he went through.

>People missing the point of Tavros

Tavros was a self centered fuck up without a whole lot going for him. Vriska comes in and Tavros ends up trying to emulate her to better himself. Vriska is also a selfish fuck up who is trying to emulate her warped ideal of what a hero is, so Tavros ends up with this fourth generation mutant of an idea of how to be a hero. Tavros finally gets over Vriska's influence and manages to be a better person not by trying to be something else, but by being himself and applying the things he can do to help others.

Tavros doing something relatively minor but important using simple people skills is exactly where his arc needed to go, anything else would be missing the point.

I'm still surprised he didn't give Vriska the ending that would be perfect karma and thoroughly troll her fans more than death ever could.

Just as she realizes it's not all about being the center of attention/important, she is ignored for the rest of the story, being even more of a useless prop than Nepeta ever was.

I don't think Aranea WAS Mindfang the entire time. She seemed happy to be Meenah's friend up until Meenah and Vriska ganged up on her - Had Aranea not encountered Vriska, GAME OVER probably wouldn't have happened.

It's almost like having a completed character arc that ends in a final death is a good story beat, hence why Aranea is one of the better written characters in Homestuck.

You appear to be mistaken friend-o. No one even knew Caliborn was born on Earth, or where LE came from. It's been a while, so she might have mentioned eventually getting around to fighting LE while being invincible, but there was never any plan to paradox him out.

The funny thing is that if Homestuck went on longer I'm sure Hussie would've found a way to bring her back and ruin it like he did with Vriska. The non-permanence of death was a mistake.
>>
>>91333146

The entire point of Aranea's plan was that she would Doom the timeline, as Lord English cannot exist in a Doomed Timeline, this would remove him. She would then heal the timeline, returning it to Alpha status and excising Lord English from reality.

ARANEA: I'm going to take over this session.
ARANEA: And then I am going to make sure it never 8ears fruit.
ARANEA: If I can stop this universe from 8eing cre8ted, then the young Lord of Time will never have hatched in the first place.
ARANEA: I won't merely 8e defeating an invinci8le foe. I will 8e erasing all the pain he has ever caused.

Was it really that bad?
>>
>>91333118
In fact, why did LE do any of the things that he did if his goal was to double kill Calliope? Was it just so his universe could be created?
>>
>>91333316
It did feel pretty weird how Meenahv just mentioned her just once, and having her lunch her could be nice but I prefer not having her appear again since it makes it seem like she's actually dead. But that preference is probably due to my overall dislike of the ghosts.
>>
>>91333137

Lord English was killing them in the Outer Ring for some reason.
>>
>>91333500
He is a very angry individual with a raging hate boner for his sister. It was also maybe mentioned that he knew she was necessary for his defeat, I can't remember.
>>
>>91333316
the way I interpret it is that Andrew purposely made Aranea a scapegoat for justifying a weak-ass reset.
Hence why she never shows up again after dying, but she's still sort of alluded to in some dialog (iirc John and Meenah both mention something that alludes to her)

From Andrew's perspective, she was a narrative tool and hatesink who fulfilled her purpose and had no reason to ever show up again.
>>
>>91333514

Meenah mentioning her towards the end of the comic WAS weird, because a conversation along the lines of 'What would you do if you saw Aranea again?' is normally a huge flag that, guess what, we're going to see Aranea again.

Then nothing happens. It makes me think of Condy going down like a complete punk in Collide, and the flash ending on an ominous musical note. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, and it never did.
>>
>>91333500
LE had three goals. Firstly to ensure his own existence which was done through Scratch. Second was to kill Calliope since she was supposedly key to defeating him. And third, but most important of all, he wanted to fuck shit up, which was also portrayed as him being a part of SBURB meant to clean up unnecessary sessions or something. There was also that stuff about him being a mob boss and The Felt but Hussie never expanded on that so who knows. Maybe LE likes to have a few not destroyed cities.
>>
>>91333639
>Maybe LE likes to have a few not destroyed cities.
It would be nice if the comic acknowledged that in spite of being murderous monster Cal/English was still a kid playing in a sandbox.

I mean, the comic reminds you that he's a manchild and that Caliborn loves to draw and do artsy shit and create lame puzzles, but it never really connects them to English's character in any way.

Why did she become so fucking weak all of a sudden?
>>
>>91333730
>English's character
The issue here is that LE, and Condy as well, aren't characters. LE had a single line of dialogue which also ended with him not murdering the character in front of him, but besides that everything else he's done in the comic is just shoot lasers and destroy things. You could replace him with a mindless beast or big robot and there wouldn't be any noticeable difference on the plot. Meanwhile for Condy she actually had plenty of dialogue, actual motivations (kill LE and revive her race), and actually made most of the cast prisoners rather than just killing them, but all of that just disappears.

It makes sense that you might want to tone things down a touch, lest you end up with retarded DBZ fights, but there's a middle ground that can be reached. And definitely should have been considering that fight ended up being the final fight of the comic.

>>91334377

With her Sylph powers? We never get to see it happen, but pretty much all Aranea's exposition is reliable.
>>
>>91334377
Meenah mentions it's basically a load of horseshit with zero chance of success.
>>
>>91334332

And it sucks in video games, too. I remember in Mass Effect 3 I fought some fuckass ninja guy and dunked the shit out of him, then it switched to cutscene and he basically pissed on me. It's bad writing and immersion breaking.

Meenah isn't exactly educated about this stuff.

>>91334340
Yes, it has been an entire year.
>>
Vriska would have been a perfect character if she never resurfaced after meeting up with Beta John.
>>
>>91334496
It also doesn't take a genius to figure how stupid of a plan it is.

And we as the reader also know that it's doomed to fail even if her idiotic plan worked, because LE can maintain Paradoxes, he would just keep trucking even if the Alpha no longer included his conception.
>>
>>91334496
It literally wouldn't matter. Their timeline would become doomed while the 'real' alpha just kept going as normal. Thats how it's always worked.
>>
>>91334571
>>91334693

I just don't think we're given a reason to believe Aranea's plan isn't sound. It's not well-explained, but none of the mechanics in Homestuck really are.

If Aranea's plan WAS doomed to fail, it would have been a much better narrative beat to have her actually best Condy THEN fail, requiring the retcon. It also establishes the Condesce as defeatable in preparation for Collide.

Yeah except no, from our perspective Davekat happened with zero buildup or anything, making it the worst of all.

Davejade in the end got more explicit teasing than Davekat did. And still came off as a more natural relationship. The fact that so much of the post-retcon was dedicated to try and justify or make Davekat "work" for him to just give up on it and leave behind tons of screaming fujos is hilarious. Or would be, if post-retcon in general wasn't shit.

Davekat is a symptom of the retcon, the most visible one and the clearest sign that Hussie irrevocably fucked up and doesn't care. On top of that it completely derails and fucks over the character arcs of the two most loved characters, both of whom afterwards are shadows of themselves who waste too many conversations trying to justify why a relationship that should have never happened in the first place should exist. On top of that, the fans are the worst kind of Homestuck fan imaginable.
>>
>>91341443
Davekat fans have this idea that Davekat is somehow a cornerstone for progressive ideals, and in general that Homestuck is some landmark work. There was this whole news article praising it, and it's as embarrassing as you might think.

my pal. you gotta realize that the romantic arc they took wasnt what derailed their character arc.

they could have still concluded their arc in the relationship, hussie just didnt care to do it like every other character.

daves arc is arguably the most complete of any of them.
karkats arc regarding leadership got shafted big time.
none of that has to do with them being in love though and when you realize that then you can find whats really pissing your biscuits dude

Why does this poster seem like a davekat shipper.
>>
>>91341492
by game over dave and karkat were already in a position to fall into a relationship.

karkats issues with self loathing and his envy of dave would have eventually pushed him to overlook the fact he hasnt reached god tier and the fact he cant fly and doesnt have the "gift of gab" and move him closer to dave by erasing the slight resentment he held for him anyway.

its not that hard to think about. just chill, complain about something worthwhile, like why jane could be put to sleep post retcon with no issue but pre-retcon she was still walking and fighting with aranea after being put to sleep

DaveJade is the only good relationship in all of Homestuck, and here's why:

Both characters built on each other in a constructive way. Dave's primary issue is that he has to be the coolkid. In most conversations, he's perpetually defensive, trying to prove that he's really that cool. It's only with Jade (and Terezi, I suppose) that he's willing to drop the facade even a little. Yet nobody except Jade (and maybe Terezi, though it's hard to say what level of irony she was operating on) actually believes for a second that he is cool. The fact that Jade accepts it is what allows him to let his guard down while talking to her. She enables him to move out of his shell and become his own person.

On the other hand, Jade has enormous potential, but no one but Dave recognizes it. Rose mostly ignores her, except for when she wants a prediction, and John regards her as his silly friend but not a whole lot beyond that. Only Dave sees that, with some help, she could become something far greater than she is, and he dedicates a lot of time to helping her achieve that. Look at the client/server relationships: Rose is pretty hands-on with John, but is more concerned with figuring out the game mechanics than helping John out. Dave pretty much leaves Rose alone after she enters, since he knows she'd find being treated like she can't handle herself patronizing. John doesn't really get a chance to do anything with Jade beyond placing the initial entry equipment. But Dave spends a lot of time trying to help Jade figure things out and get situated.

Basically, Dave and Jade compliment and complete each other. No one else in Homestuck has that kind of relationship.

I mean, it was more interesting when Karkat hated Dave because of Terezi, then once he realized Dave didn't give a shit about Terezi really they were able to relate. Instead that turned into badly written yaois.

It's a pretty recognizable art style.

>>91342003
That in the final days of Homestuck Hussie merely developed an advanced neural network that makes Homestuck conversations based on previous ones.

Suffer in a sexual way or what?

>>91342043
Physically. Emotionally. Something sexual would be a fine mix of the two.

Ran into a table because rose is retarded and kittens are retarded, as are babies. So a babykitten hybrid version of Rose is really fucking stupid.

like some kind of fucked up equivalent exchange nonsense where for every prissy SJW Homestuck propped up, it also created a problematic fetishist

to expand on this, you remember that one episode of Invader Zim where Zim kept replacing important things in Dib's past with rubber piggies? It'd be that but with Rose Lalonde and my penis.

>>91342147
Wait, are you saying to want to rape toddler Rose as well? Cause that's legitimately fucked up.

>hurting small Rose
No. Small Rose is like small Vriska, for love and raising right, not sex. Never for sex.
>>
>>91342169
"tiny" vriska was MADE for sex though...

>>91341573

Why are fujos so terrible? None of the gay male relationships are well-written in Homestuck, and I'm a huge fag.

If Huss wanted to make Dave gay, he should've hit on John, gotten rejected because John is straight, and have the friendship survive. That's the ideal gay/straight fantasy. This twink shit is written for girls as schlickbait.

No

She had a good thing going and was clearly originally intended to fulfill the same role as Vriska eventually did. The first thing we see her do in the comic is murder a child for no reason other than her own amusement. She was supposed to be one of the worst ones all along (but because she was on 'our side' this was accepted, unlike Vriska), but that fell by the wayside in favor of shipping and teen drama.

>None of the gay male relationships are well-written in Homestuck
None of the gay stuff in Homestuck is well written because Hussie is a straight white guy, they're not even given focus. That's why it's so fucking weird that fujos and idiots who want to look progressive latched on to it. It really doesn't have any of the values they want, but then they make up all these justifications as to why it does.

>>91342202
taking a girl's dog dick counts as gay.

no, cause it's just a dick. If you were fucking her dog vagina while taking her dog dick that would be the case.

I mean. It's not like he ever canonically had a thing with Terezi or called John's AU Nanna hot or anything.
>>
>>91342264
He can call them what he likes, but given that he has only ever fucked Jade's dog dick, he's not straight.

Why did Homestuck end up attracting such a sadbrains fanbase? When did the 'normal' folks drift away?

Yeah but it'd be a nsfw link to the flash where Jade destroys his asshole if you spam keys (it's a callback to the pogoride flash game), hotpocket deletes those.

Love yourself more, dude. That's just sad.
>>
>>91342480

Friendo, every gay guy has the straight friend they want to go a little further with, but do the internal math of 'huh, I could ruin this forever if I try'.
>>
>>91342480
it's probably a lot healthier than fantasizing about turning someone gay
and it's not like remaining friends is a bad ending
>>
>>91342514
>>91342520
That's fucking stupid. The ultimate fantasy would be hitting on your straight friend and having it turn out that they aren't straight either and like you back.
>>
>>91342542
... But then they weren't even straight?
>>
>>91342556
It's called being in the closet, motherfucker.
>>
>>91342542
That's not a good story though, it's too contrived. If the characters are really a good match for each other, and if the gay guy felt close to his crush, then he'd be able to tell a least that much.

I mean it's fine for porn but not romance.
>>
>>91342565
Ah, right. And now we're just fetishizing sexual repression.
>>
>>91342463
Podstuck or something stupid like that.
>>
>>91342581
No you fucking dumbass. This was just about what the typical fantasy for gay dudes is, and I guarantee you that the most common thing gay dudes think about when they're whacking it is having their crush like them back, not just getting rejected but remaining as friends. Not unless they're a fucking cuck.

heavy romance focus killed off homestuck for good
