Gentlemen, it appears Jade has once again been rendered unconscious by the arachnid extraterrestrial’s foolish attempt to induce a trance upon her mind
>>150583190Cartoon Jade is cute
CHECK IT. Pretty sWWWWuWWuag huh?
>>150583190If she really knew what was in store for her, she'd just kill herself now.
>>150583365Are you referring to the [Genndy Tartakovsky‘s Fixed] plot point
>>150583426I'm actually referring to literally every single thing that happened to her post-Cascade, but that is one of them, yes.
>>150583190
so is this shit in production or what
>>150584993Nope, just a pilot, no takers announced.
>>150583740Nunca pensé que hubiese fans hispanohablantes de HS.
>when in the Intermission Spades sticks out his foot and trips a speedsterI was not expecting that reference
>>150583190>>150576591
The pilot was bad, by the way.Could have been worse, but still bad.The nuhomosuck shills have been out in full force lately.
will she be in the pilot
>>150584993Just pilot for now. Will partly depend on merch sales
>tfw just realized Dave is Marco
it sucks that without major rewrites karkat doesn't speak until act 3i really like the voice they chose for him but realistically it's gonna be a good while before he gets to really go at it
>>150583190whiteboard linkhttps://r8.whiteboardfox.com/86461887-4075-8311
>>150589586It looks like by design the story in the show would be much more condensed and streamlined compared to the comic. So I wouldn't be surprised if Karkat and the trolls appeared much sooner.The show isn't designed to be a 1 for 1 retelling. It's going to be a retelling of the originally story that leverages the strengths of an animated series, and considers it's limitations. The cost to produce a minute of animated content is significantly more expensive than hussie spamming his site with single image pages and pesterlogs. So they have to be much more deliberate with what they include to show and when, by design.
my wife
I need to see Jade wear the sexy eight ball dress in the pilot’s art style
>>150588865If you can see Aradia, you're already retconned.
>>150583190she's so cute
consider fortune cookie
>>150590015I fucking hate how they made her a uwu baby
>>150590082It's to hide the fact she's using the robot.
I might start reading the OG webcomic for herIs it inaccessible? I’ve heard people say the site is dead because it ran on flash
>>150590291Read it on the offline unofficial archive, it also features every webcomic prior to Homestuck.https://homestuck.github.io/It's considered the best way to read it by a country mile.
>>150590082Yeah they should have made her an obese brown futa furry
>>150589586They could finish act 2 in a single season (~12 episodes) pretty easily.
>>150590111blatant cope>>150590385they should have made her look like the other kids
>>150589090This is funny because I used Marco's voice for John.
I just started reading Snow Crash and I can already tell it's gonna be one of my favorite books.
>>150590522This is arasolcore
>>150590489>>150589090I use his voice for Karkat…Why the fuck is this beaner voice being used for so many characters?
>>150589090So Karkat is Star Butterfly?
all the jadeposting makes me so happy!!! :D
>They decided to play the adaptation completely straight"Yay" can't wait for 12 episodes of fucking setup, explanations and lore dumps since the story is a slave to the pacing which was meant for a webcomic. They could have done something fun with it, like frame this as the Kids and Trolls retelling their adventure thus far to someone at some point of the timeline. Jumping around the story to answer questions would also be fitting for Homestuck.It could have even been Doomed Dave and Rose retracing their steps before Dave goes back to become davesprite.
I need a gamebro explainer of the whole series
>>150590626kill yourself you're a man you're going to die a man no one will ever see you as a woman
I watched the Homestuck pilot without knowing basically anything about it beforehand, and one of my only positive takeaways was that I thought Jade in it was cuteThat said I'm kinda afraid of starting the webcomic, because apparently something not-so great happens to Jade later on in it that I'd kinda rather not think about
>>150590687If it helps, just stop reading after Act 5 endsThe game is over
>>150590679im sorry that you have to interact with me in a public space, feel free to log off at any time!! :)
>>150590687She dies twice
>>150590697I'll keep this in mind, thank you>>150590704This is somehow reassuring if true
>>150590700Why did you choose to be a tranny to begin with?
>>150590291you can use gnash to play the flash files. at least the ones I tried
>>150590670Thinking about the interview and the woman in charge says she wishes she could do 70 episodes. Man they really should have cut more. Maybe the greatest fanventure ever made will be the homestuck pilot (mspfas tend to try to use homestucks pacing without daily updates, resulting in thousands of unfinished comics)
I dunno about everyone else but seeing Jade being the most positive part of the pilot feels kind of grim for the future alreadyI hope I'm wrong and I'm not pulling Apollo's gift of prophecy and slam dunking it into a crater
>>150590687She's fine by the end.
>>150590626amazing how we got rid of one narcissistic parasite and several more show up to use this thread as a vehicle for their fetish.
>>150590687Stop pretending to be a newfag.You aren't fooling anyone.
>>150590687Well, the good news is that's in the shitty post-ending content that's widely hated. Bad news is the ending is too for different reasons.
>>150590742>>150590785why does this matter? lmao!! im literally here to talk about homestuck!! why are you so mad? :(
>>150590806I just asked a question.
>>150590522>zoroasterthe fuck
>>150590806>doesnt deny itLmao and lol too
>>150590806youre here to talk about yourself and your agp. I cant even call you a faggot because youre not. you want to feel like a cute little girl because youre an ugly fucking man. get your attention somewhere else.
>>150590818sure, i understand that but i dont think its really on topic... if you do really wanna know, i dont mind talking about it some other way i suppose? i dont know, talking about that stuff in a public place, especially here, it just feels out of place i suppose.>>150590849>>150590859if you want to paint these pictures about me, i cant change your opinion and theres no point in arguing with you!! you are literally derailing the thread because who i am bothers you soooo much lmao!!
I'm going to cosplay as jade with my human vagina now
>>150590791But I literally am a newfag lol, I tried reading a bit of the webcomic last night and it somehow confused me more than the pilot did. All I knew about Jade going into it was that 'bad thing' I alluded to earlier >>150590782>>150590793Good to know as well
I read this comic a decade ago and barely remember anything. I think I got filtered when they introduced a hundred troll characters in Act 5 with a ton of convoluted lore that you were expected to understand.But the scene of John reenacting the ending of Con Air with robots(?) in a space lab while Karkat sperges at him still lives vividly in my head.
>>150590791You can't pull out "stop being a newfag" anymore since you know, the fucking pilot just came out. Dumbass.
>>150590929How could I... GET THROUGH ONE NIGHT WITHOUT YOU?
I don't really have any feelings. I guess "don't say fuck so much", but my emotional attachment to Homestuck is pretty negligible since I didn't read it until 2022 and dropped it after Trickster Mode.
>>150590878"who you are" you arent jade you'll never be jade you'll never be a single thing like jade because your cute typing style is an obvious facade. why cant you just act and type fucking normal. you literally cant stand being yourself to the point youre roleplaying as jade on 4chan 24/7. go look in the mirror if you can even stomach your own reflection you fucking hon
>>150590894You put that bad dragon werewolf dildo in your panties this instant young lady.
>>150590936And you want me to believe he's different when he comes to this thread to claim that Jade (the most popular character on these threads) is his favorite? Stop being gullible, that guy is just baiting for (you)s
>>150590878This moment was the exact moment that Dave/Jade died. It was over forever. What was bright and happy and fun was turned into pure fucking misery and drama for the sake of making people feel bad.
>>150590626WHORE.
It's annoying that some idiot set the pilot as a tv show on TMDB so now it won't get on letterboxd.
>>150590332>Trigger warnings: Male pregnancy, Bestiality....well that's one way to get my attention
>>150591005they could have made it work it was just unfortunate timing, something that could have always been. it really sucks, and i genuinely hope davekat breakup in bc and he gets with jade since all this stuff was retconned anyway :p
>>150591019>trigger warning for clownswat
>>150590985You're life is going to be hell if you keep bothering new people who come to these threads. They'll outnumber us soon enough.
>>150590929At least the comic left you with memories of kino.www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYBzZj7Bddk
>>150591037>newfags are going to outnumber us one dayThanks for ruining my day, anon.
Ok, who turned on the bots here?https://www.instagram.com/p/DPJbeO3iaQA/
can there be one fucking thread that doesn't devolve into complaining about the obvious furry ragebait?i think the pilot was great personally, anyone going into it thinking of it as an episode one is doing themselves an injustice. the literal only complaint i have is that dave says "mid" one time. anyone bitching about "aura" or "irony poisoning" doesnt understand how rose usually talks nor the meaning of the word "aura".also, man, people in general are sleeping on how good the storyboarding is! it is genuinely phenomenal stuff becuase it is NOT easy to make something so dialog heavy visually interesting.
>fuck fuck fuck shit fuck shit fuck shit shitvivzieslop sucks all of the fun out of swearing
whats your favourite flash
>>150591123Next time answer "after [S] Cascade" because there's only one answer to that, dummy.
>>150591123Ascend, of cource.
>>150590806You are a pseudo-namefag, if not an avatarfag. Your writing style and the images you post are so recognizable that it is difficult to engage in discussion with you as any of us would any other one, and your admission to being a transsexual, perhaps done without a second thought as to what the ramifications of saying such a thing could be in future discussion, makes it difficult talk to you in a worthwhile manner because a clearer image of who is behind your words has been formed. Your Jadeposting may have been quaint, even a novelty, before your admission, but it has become difficult because you don't seem to have a way to turn it off and be anonymous again.
>>150591112>can there be one fucking thread that doesn't devolve into complaining about the obvious furry ragebait?This thread hasn't even done that. What are you on about.
>>150591123Descend, no contest, followed by the three Land introsCascade was cool but it just didn't have the same first-time magic as Descend and its music, that one freeze frame of time when it came out was perfection like I'd never know since
>>150591123Unite SynchronizeExploreJOHN. RISE UP.whichever one Rose enters in on
>>150591123[S] Jade: Enterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGQlI0XfEaY
>>150591123WV: Rise Up in combination with Descend.
>>150591151sure i get that, and i had admitted it with thought to that actually. in my experience on 4chan, youre better off saying youre transgender than pretending to be a "biofem" and getting caught in the act, so i do so entirely based off my own personal experiences and how ive seen other people be treated for doing so. im unsure how me being transgender has anything to do with having a conversation with mei have genuinely not meant to rile anyone up or any of the sort!
>>150591123https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spz7WW5dlg8
>>150591168>whichever one Rose enters in onthe comic had so much magic thenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GmyTQyLD9w
>>150591178Seconding this.
>>150591123In the middle of my re-read, and "WV: Ascend" reminded me why I fell in love with Homestuck in the first place. "Reunite with your loving wife and daughter" was my favorite originally, though that might change once I get there again.
As someone who has never watched/read/played/whatever the fuck a single second of Homestuck, and only experienced it through the pornI thought this was medicore. Just really average and kinda boring. Also I don't really understand what's going on, there was an attempt to show off character dynamics I guess, and give an idea of the world, but it really didn't land for me, I'm not at all curious about anything it set up, and that "epic forshadowing" bit at the end felt like it was jerking itself off at the idea of later storyline being adapted for long time fans.
>>150591080This was significantly more batshit than I rememberI gotta reread because this comic was a TRIP
>>150591141I know it sounds contrarian but Cascade is alright. I really dislike how heavily flashes started to rely on totally disparate art styles from contributors around that time, often it ends up looking weird and stiff. Like that two frame shot of overly rendered fanart John hitting the underling with a hammer.Unite Synchronize is probably my favorite if we count that as one. Maybe Jade Enter or Descend.
>>150591249for a while it was a direct insight into the drug-drenched brain of a very weird man who was clearly a gifted artist but sadly went insane on schedule before his magnum opus could be completed
>>150583426>Are you referring to the [Genndy Tartakovsky‘s Fixed] plot pointI hate that I probably know exactly what you're talking about
>>150583190Homestuck is a conundrum to unravel.
>>150591232watching this again reminds me of one my favorite artistic details from HS specifically the way Hussie draws clouds, they're so wispy and curly. somehow it matches perfectly with the anti aliased style of the rest of the comic
>>150590697Jade basically becomes a different character after Act 4
>>150591218if I’m gonna be real i think you should realize being a tranny on 4chan is enough to shit up any thread, even if you didn’t mention it so even if you don’t mean to, your existence just invites off-topic posting about how much anons want people like you to neck yourself
>>150591321yeah early Homestuck had an extremely distinct style that really draws the eye in with the colors and sharpness
>>150591324Hey, can you make John act like John again when you make the real show? Thanks.
>>150591123I think Jack: Ascend is the best but WV: Rise Up is my favorite
>>150591339you know thats a valid point and i didnt realize that at the time, so my bad, i messed up there
>>150591178thirded
>>150591337It's almost like she was guided by her visions which only gave her half the picture, then living through what she saw and then proceeding beyond without the benefit of preferential precognition left her defenseless, confused, and unhappy.It's called character development, anon.
>>150591123I really like [S] Make her pay.Out of every flash, it's the one I've rewatched the most. The Terezi-Vriska half is seared into my brain.
>>150591379She also wasn´t getting knocked out by Vriska every 10 minutes or so by then.
There are exactly two ways you can play a homestuck remake or remaster or revival or whateverYou either treat it like a time capsule of the era and make it incomprehensible or obtuse to the typical marketOr you completely redo the entire thing to be based around a snapshot of modern culture and try and recapture lightning in a bottle while pissing off everyone with nostalgiaNoYou know what Homestuck needsA sort of spiritual sequel with a new cast where the kids are alphazoomers and the adults are the xillenialsWhere the trolls are basically analogs for hardline political factions the zoomers have to deal withWe're not the kids anymoreWe're the adults with no eyesThe story can't be about us anymoreIt can only be a gift to the next generation
>>150591379it's called her poor little girl brain becoming DEEP FRIED by the sudden installation of a giant nuclear dog cock and two massive furry nuts, ripping her brain up with inhuman super hormones that permanently deforms her development with nightmarish animal urges she's helpless to resist
>>150590828You are in for a ride
>>150591123https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7Owq7SFehU
>>150591425Sometimes I wish this version of Bro would resurrect and gut Ultimate Dirk alive
>>150591404I wonder how many white women Becquerel impregnated to leave her with these overwhelming urges. He could teleport to any one he wanted after all.
>>150591447Ultimate Dirk is partially "Bro" (aka pre-scratch Dirk). I mean Dirk has always about very theatrical displays of dying and suicide so it'd probably be in character for him to gut himself.
>>150591447Sometimes I wish bro would hug dave and say how proud he is in him.
>>150591398Well there's 12 of the Trolls, so what factions would they represent in this hypothetical?
more like Vizie-stuck lol
>>150591265Yeah I agree, I wish the crowdsourced art contributions were limited to sprite stuff. I had mixed feelings about Descend because that was the first flash with slightly jarring obviously-not-made-by-Hussie stuff and it only got worse from there.
>>150591456That's the exact problem. Bec didn't, because he was too bound by his loyalty and nature to always be near. Even worse was three years on the ship with zero pussy to knot; what Jade was left with was two nuts filled with YEARS of pent up nuclear cum. It'll take her decades of impregnating women to finally feel anything like relief from the urge to fuck pussy.
>>150591321I totally get what you mean. Personally, I also really like how he draws magic (which is real btw) throughout the comic.
>>150591469>Ultimate Dirk is partially "Bro"no he isn'tyes I know what you mean, what the story saysbut no, he fucking isn't
>>150591475It'd basically be a far left far right split of varying extremitiesHalf of them would be rainbow turbotroonsThe other half would be incel gigachudsThey would violently detest each other, frame it as a civil warThe kids would be relatively normal individuals who don't get what the big deal is and just want to line a relatively normal lifeThis is all very vague but I'm also not a writer
>>150591123https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Mldr4sSV4s
Are we the doomed timeline if another one had Jerma as the Homestuck narrator for the animated pilot?
>>150591508Yeah, Problem Sleuth proved he'd have been an insane game SFX artist. Kind of a shame. Also a shame how that was Rose at her coolest in the whole comic.
>>150591532yes.
>>150591532Please, please don't stunt cast
>>150591512Oh ok then I guess this is just the Homestuck equivalent of Cartman who is epic should show up and beat Barney with a baseball bat cause Barney is friggin gey!!
>>150591532No, it's healthy and good Jerma wasn't the narrator. He doesn't deserve that.
>>150591554But how else are they going to waste money on big name celeb voices and then never using them again?>>150591561True. He doesn't need Homestuck to go that big.
>>150591265How is that contrarian, Cascade is fucking legendary for a reason.
>>150591532I like Jerma but he would have been fucking awful as the narrator. Just get some actual VA industry professional instead of some eceleb, Oney's narration was genuinely embarrassing, it felt like an Oneyplays bit.
>>150591560no you disingenuous fucking idiot I mean that Bro was a completely different concept and character from what Dirk was from start to now, and it was a weird dirty thing Hussie did to suddenly reveal him as some grand abusing mastermind
>>150591576Jerma did do VA work for games before
>>150591573I meant 'alright' as in 'okay', as in my opinion of it doesn't line up with that legendary reputation. I did word it a little confusingly.
>>150591554The cast of the pilot means nothing for the cast of the final show, if it ever gets made.
>>150591591Yeah, but he's not a good fit for Homestuck. Plus it'd be a long term commitment, and he doesn't have that kind of time. Just a bad idea.
>>150591599This. If you dont like the voice actors for the pilot theres a chance theyll get replaced
>>150591577>>150591577Yeah you're right, Bro (i.e. pre-scratch Dirk) would never be a belligerent controlling asshole if he thought it was in someone's best interests. Not like that's Dirk's entire character, being overbearing and controlling for what he perceives as 'the greater good'. You're right all there is to Bro is hype moments and aura.
>>150591123in no particular orderwv rise upjack ascendwv ascendjohn rise upwakemake her pay dave ascend to the highest point of the building
>>150591627But most liked the cast for the original Hazbin Hotel pilot before getting replaced big name musical actors.
>>150591591I know, I've heard it before. He's fine for bit parts like a videogame mini boss, but they should really just get an actual voice actor if they're going to be making the narrator a constant presence.
>>150591643whine all you want, Hussie inserted his weird father issues into Dirk and Dave in Act 6 and it was weird and shitty
>>150591398You can’t do modern Homestuck because the modern internet sucks. No one wants to watch kids talk on Discord and watch “Sburb lore EXPLAINED” videos on Youtube and tweet at the Skaianet developers to complain that the game is too hard.
>>150591724Okay but what if they did
>>150591694Did you see the shades and your monkey brain instantly thought he was actually like Kamina? B1 Dirk is a fucking weirdo. He obviously cares about Dave in some capacity but loving someone doesn't mean it's impossible to mistreat them.>it was weird and shittyErrrmmm, yeah, sounds like Hussie was having 'a normal one'... Not!Nothing substantive to say, it just made you feeeeel bad because it was icky and squicky :(
>>150591246Ya it was made way too much for tha fans of which there arent even many left
>>150591737>Nothing substantive to saywe know
>>150591398That would be too based. They wouldnt be able to pull it off.
>>150591779We? Who's we? It's literally just you and me having this inane argument.
>>150591774Part of it is how much else there is in the field right now. I don't doubt it'll do well at first, but I don't see it making it past Act 5 at best. A lot depends on Toby promoting it.
>>150591810Getting to act 5 itself is a big if. Toby hasnt even posted about it to his twatter or bluesky which surprises me. Pretty sure he’s posted collabs he’s done before there.One can only speculate exactly why.
>>150590291The official website is currently being rebuilt and reuploaded serially in its original form via a Flash emulator. You can read it there and follow the daily updates if you want.
>>150590687The bad Jade stuff is from the non-canon sequel that was written by different authors after the original comic finished.
>>150591123[S] Caliborn: EnterSeeing LE in all his glory, leaving even BN and PM looking on in shock and fear was amazinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TluSImcNwac
>>150590015she talked a little too much compared to her comic counterpart but yeah she was cute. her voice was the best out of them all
>>150590291>I might start reading the OG webcomic for herOh buddy... I'm so sorry...
>>150591876Act 5 is my own longshot best case assumption. Most of this will depend on merch sales, which can only go so far in an increasingly broken economy. Most realistically, they get to the end of Act 4 and it's done.
>>150591810>>150591876It's not even going to get a full series, 1 million views just isn't good enough.
>>150590626I love you, Jadeanon
>>150591951Even Space King outpaced it.
>>150591905She was very silly and talkative at this point in the comic, because she's asleep and talking via a robot as her airheaded dream self.
Jade was the only good part of this pilot. Too many bad decisions to name apart from that, the worst decision being to try and adapt homestuck into a cartoon in the first place.
>>150591929>Jade was nerfed after CascadeYeah, probably the worst of any character. But pretty much everyone else was also nerfed in favor of the alpha kids. I hate Dirk.
>>150591951if you asked me what I'd bother to split my time between, it'd be Guinevere or Digital Circus
>>150591903>non-canonIncorrect terminology. Beyond canon.
>>150591998i.e. the worst kind of the canon, the kind that's loosely outlined by the now-insane original author, and thrown at a team of sycophant idiots and told to do whatever as long as they connect the dots
>>150591576as someone who isn't an oneyplays fan it just sounded like standard cartoony narration
Do you niggas ever feel happy or satisfied with anything
>>150592059Don't change the subject
>>150592059I liked the webcomic until Hussie and his team took it down to promote this shitty pilot and threatened the people that came up with the only currently readable version of Homestuck on the internet
>>150592010This particular quality was written by the original author though so it's pretty much canon.
>>150592059No... :(
>>150592087Yes, my point exactly. All he had to do was write "Jade has dog dick and nuts, knots Rose" and throw it at them. Just awful stuff.
>>150591965the pilot was extremely chatty. she has regular amounts of talkativeness and is even quite minimal at times
>>150592059Yeah, just not Homestuck.
>>150591019Keep in mind Act 7 is the true ending. Anything after that is noncanon. And I'm not making some joke about how the epilogues are so bad people wish they didn't exist - although that is true as well.
>>150592059Sure, plenty. But Homestuck is one of those very few wounds I want to keep picking at forever, until it's finally dead and I can heal.
>>150592120You can't say it's out of theme for Hussie to think that "Yiffany Longstocking" is the height of comedy.
does anyone have any good fanfics about rose and john sex
>>150591737Why is the samurai puppet swordfight played for drama but Rose attempting suicide and Jade being left alone with guns played for comedy?
>>150592146I think it's not out of theme for him to have been a bitter burnout cooked from too many stims and doing/thinking weird shit at the time he decided Jade should have a dick and nuts since she was 13, and make that explicit through a fucked up love child.
>>150592146Between beyond canyon and this, it's clear Hussie cannot be funny anymore.
>>150592168don't even bother
>jade continually ends up the best thing when she shows up in non-BC work>keeps ruining her in homestuck 2Is he stupid
>>150592223>Is he stupidno, he's a bitter burnout who dresses like a clown at 50
>>150592190what a fucking lunatic lmao
What happened to Hussie to have him go from "I'm not a homosexual" to making over half the cast queer?
>>150592189There is no situation where Yiffy is a "love child". Condescend as you please, but keep things accurate.
>>150592059>threads have been hilariously fun>checked out suggested fanventures in thread and really like them>moonrunes gave drew my ship for me>pilot was cute for what it was but most importantly it reignited the fandom >got a friend into homestuck just in time for all thisI have been eating really fucking good lately, actually
>>150592256Listen, I don't disagree, I just have no fucking idea what to call her.
>>150592223Where that's image where it's like a chart of HS quality versus how well Jade is treated
>>150592168>and Jade being left alone with gunsThat wasn't especially comedic. That was just another aspect of how Jade is pitiable and depressing.
>>150592266Understandable. Me too.
>>150592266these threads have been a lot of fun genuinely
>>150592059Yeah. Even after everything, JadeRose makes me happy.
>>150592190>nobody thinks vriska is "controversial" anymoreThe people that didn't like Vriska were sane and stopped reading around the time she was brought back cryonically as her act 5 self and nerfed all her act 6 development because god forbid a terrible person grow, change or become a better. She was always great, everyone in Make Her Pay were just mad for no reason
>>150592190That's kind of funny
>>150592253He realized he was gay for fucking trannies
>>150592253Like most weird and ugly men of his age, he got too deep into the internet and too high on his own supply, and then literally high on too many rich boy drugs, descending into a mad spiral of identity crisis that went with the sparkly fun wave of extreme gender identity politics. Gay = Happy, everyone is trans, nobody is actually happy and extreme drama and constant grief are normal.
>>150592266Its been pretty nice getting some insight on the rewrites/retcons save for the Bro schizo
>>150592307I love the entire idea of it, save for where it's predicated on loveless betrayal
>>150592309I was gonna say Vriska isn't controversial because she's boring, even her redemption(s) have been trite and done better in the past 10 years
>>150592190I take some solace knowing he's a seething hasbeen despite what he says.
>>150592309So... are you saying you're insane because you always liked Vriska and didn't stop reading? Also was Vriska ever that controversial? When I read it I thought she came off as kind of a likeable bad guy. Like Joffrey from Game of Thrones - he's one of the most despicable characters in fiction but it's absurd to say someone's insane for finding him entertaining.
>>150592397Vriska was fetish bait. Out of all the characters, maybe save Gamzee, she was directly the author writing his fetish into the story in order to have an eternally-13 spidergirl bully kick the door down and walk all over the scene and his face.
>>150592397You have no idea how a certain kind of GoT fans reacted to Joffrey, huh.
>>150591962i love you too, anon!!
>>150583190>Andrew Hussie! I can’t and won’t make this any simpler for you. You failed at life, you failed. When one thinks what man is capable of, pushing himself 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, zero, zilch, In short you are an ENORMOUS FAILURE! Andrew being that you’re about 46 years old and your brain has probably hardwired itself to accept such failures by now and write off such criticisms by being flippant really suggests you have passed beyond the proverbial breaking point. There’s no turning back, this is your career, this is what define you, and this is what you’ll defend to the end. The abhorrent failure that is MS paint comics. Maybe I’m overreacting however, who knows people can change. Maybe you’ll 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, I genuinely doubt it.
Why does Jade sound like that
>>150591112I liked it a lot too, it's been such a treat to see these characters fully animated. Even the best of the best animations made by the series proper had a fairly limited, constrained animation style. Everything feels so much more expressive now, and consistent
>>150592431sick
I genuinely don't know if I want to show this to my 30-something friends all like: 'Hey, they're making a homestuck show! ". I believe they'll mostly get confused and thrown off by the frantic pacing and aimless fanservice. I liked it, though.
>>150592253He unironically thought too much about the very concept of Homosexuality and started to deconstruct it in the story, because all the Trolls are Bisexual by human standards and Earth and all other humans are fucking gone so why would the kids be burdened by the baggage of their old culture.Thinking too much is a bad thing when you don't mange to communicate your thoughts to your audience, who haven't thought that long and hard about being gay, gay as a concept and cultural significance of gays in Western Culture.
I wish we had a full fledged comic about the ancestors
>>150590038consider radioactive girlcock actually
>>150592520He didn't think deeply about homosexuality, he wanted to suddenly double down on making everything gay because he wanted to follow the popular trend at the time. Steven Universe was just coming out, Korrasami was made canon etc. The main thing was Vriska/Terezi, Davekat was just pairing the spares and throwing a bone to the fujos.
>>150592573>Davekat was just pairing the spares and throwing a bone to the fujos.And it ended up ruining both characters forever.
>>150592168>Rose attempting suicide and Jade being left alone with guns played for comedy?Okay now I'm convinced some of you people don't read the fucking comic.Rose's relationship with her mother was also played straight, half of the lead up to Rose and Roxy meeting was Rose angsting over feeling like she was a failure of a daughter, as well as falling into alcoholism because of pre-scratch Roxy's neglect. Jade's entire character arc was suffering through loneliness, first on her island (because Grandpa was dead, a stand-in for abandonment), and then on the prospit battleship when John did the retcon. All of the relationships with the guardians are simultaneously played comedically AND seriously. John finds his father doting and stifling and his clowns annoying, but then it's revealed that he only bought all those clowns because of John scrawling all of those things on his wall in a fugue state. And before John can reunite with what he previously thought of as an overly coddling father to make amends, he's killed by Jack Noir. Which leads to the catharsis scene when he meets Jane's Dad (who in turn recognizes him as his own father, Poppop.)This all goes by without issue, to the point that people like you don't even pick up on it, which leads me to believe you only give a shit about how Bro and Dave are depicted is because he's this icon of Epic Anime Male to you.
>>150590459She'll look like the other kids when she's actually depicted, for now she's the only one we don't see behind the device she's using to talk.
>>150592588Dave and Bro was portrayed comedically and seriously well in Act 5 though as far as I remember. The tonal change in Act 6 was way different and Dave became Hussie's preachy mouthpiece
>>150592520Thinking back it's funny how basically all the initial troll pairings were straight>Nepeta/Karkat>Terezi/Karkat>Vriska/Tavros>Eridan/Feferi>Sollux/Feferi>Equius/Aradia>Sollux/Aradia
>>150592573There was more likely spite in it than chasing popular trends. But 'the gays' was not that different than any other deconstruction and exploration that Hussie does in his story.Start with the joke and surface level. Then slowly go deeper and find the human part of the thing.Hussie just spent too much thinking about what being gay would actually literally mean to a human when the rest of humanity is gone, Earth is destroyed and you are surrounded by Aliens who have none of the same cultural contexts about homosexuality. Dave had a whole awkwardly paced spiel about it where Hussie tried to get his ideas across but the execution sucked and felt rushed.
>>150592663>>>Nepeta/KarkatWas as real as Nepeta/Eridan
>>150592674it's also dumb because it doesn't fit for Dave and actively made him a worse character and a worse person
>>150592681Why doesn't it fit for Dave?
>>150592680One-sided for sure, but it's one of the more explicitly real ones I remember
>space king at 1.5 million>homesuck at 1.1 millionlooks like the chuds tuned into space king after church. the two were neck and neck within 150,000 views of eachother yesterday. is it stuckover?
>>150592663kanaya/rose was hinted at extremely early
>>150592253Some joke about the "gay singularity" that he committed to 1000% in typical Hussie fashion.
>>150592695Because making any character into a weird political mouthpiece is stupid. It's especially stupid because Hussie is not nearly as insightful or clever as he thinks he is.
brutal mogged by knights of guinevere
>pilot reactionsWhich one are you, anon?
>>150592719Ah, you're right, I forgot about the awkward pestering from Kanaya, although technically I was only thinking of pairings between trolls.
>>150592663Yeah but there was one-sided gay feelings, it's implied Karkat had black crushes on Gamzee, John and Sollux, Kanaya liked Vriska, Karkat told Eridan "this is why we would never work out," etc. This is why I liked Rosemary though, it seemed like a good conclusion to Kanaya finding someone to move on from Vriska, while it was clear John was moving toward Vriska. Rosemary made sense, it wasn't the same as the ships slapped together at the ending.
>>150592719Kanaya also has a crush on Vriska pre-Sgrub.
>>150592732Why do we have to pit two bad bitches against each other.
>>150592253The Gay Singularity
>>150592722You're talking in circles. You're just saying 'this is bad because it doesn't fit because it's stupid because it's bad because it doesn't fit.' You seem to read way too much into the hypothetical intentions of Hussie rather than actually looking at the text itself.
>>150592733Neither. It's kind of mid (like all modern Homestuck) and will be utterly incomprehensible to anyone who isn't already a fan.it kind of fails as a pilot and as a first episode.
>>150592681>Doesn't fit Dave
>>150592763>rather than actually looking at the text itselfBut the text is shit and is a fucking slog to read. Dave's toxic masculinity speech became a fucking meme.
it's gonna be greenlit with a very limited budget and we will get a really bad show, I had a dream about it so it must be true
>>150592781The irony is that it's meant to be Hussie reflecting on how he was like, a bad person and trying to be an edgy dudebro.And yet now he's arguably an even worse person who exploits the people under him and is constantly picking fights with random people.
>>150592769you don't tell your bros you love them?
>>150592781You're mistaking me for someone who agrees with all of your prior assumptions, and think that just vaguely pointing at something and expecting me to KNOW why you think it's bad is good enough. I don't care if it 'became a fucking meme' I want you to defend your position.
>>150592769Johndave would've been better than Davekat as long as it didn't involve anything that happened in act 6
>>150592800Yeah but that's Dave now too. Epilogue Dave is a genuinely garbage person who is constantly leading on his friends and loved ones, undermines Karkat's desires and dismisses him constantly, and is basically a horrifically lazy asshole who evidently doesn't give one shit about anyone but himself. He's become the inverse of what he was.
>>150592808Yes, to their faces. I don't secretly confess to my other friends that I love my bros.Also he forgot to say no homo.
>>150592842The Epilogue is unironically one of the greatest cases of character assassination in fiction history. I wouldn't even call it assassination, I would call it a fucking massacre because no one is spared. One of the pettiest 'fuck yous' at people who geniuenly gave a shit about your setting and characters I've ever seen.
>>150592852>can't say you love your bros to their face AND to other friends>needing to say no homo afterNGMI
>>150592869And it completely destroyed Hussie's reputation and ensured he's trapped here forever.
>"murderstuck was bad mkey!">why>"my favorite character died"heh
>>150592904based take is that it was bad because gamzee peaked there as an actual character
>>150592904Murderstuck was based, you'd have to be a super oldfag or be a delusional Nepetafag to have anything against it. Everything in Act 5 is good.
>>150592905It wasn't how he acted, it was the gratuitous swearing exclusively. In other words, we have Skye to blame, because I'm pretty sure Hussie's outline did not include "at least one fuck per minute".
>>150592905>fixed some jokesOh, so that's why it wasn't any funny.
>>150592905Why do people take word of god so seriously when it comes to Hussie? Ironic for a comic where the author killed himself in it
>>150592968Homestuck was a really good experience up to Cascade, anon.
>>150592968How is this word of god? It's Hussie talking about the process and he's being the same as he was where he's like "You just don't get it!"
>>150592996I know. I read it in 2012.
>>150592968Because they need validation from the creator that their headcanons are valid over others. That's why people are upset at Toby for saying every Undertale AU and headcanon is valid. Because that means shit like Sans/Frisk or Sanscest is valid. Nobody in the Homestuck fandom wants to be in the same space where someone prefers straight ships like DaveJade over Davekat or DirkJake.
>>150592904I was a little sad about nepeta and feferi dying but murderstuck was based as hell I love that eerie whiplash it gave me
Personally I really enjoyed it. I hope it gets picked up.
hot
>>150592946I swear witchhunting for who caused the swearening…
>>150592905John was an asshole but it was through being an obtuse dork, like with the "hey can i talk to the real dave" thing.>>150592904Real sidetroll fans never badmouth Murderstuck, it spawned so much discussion and fanwork on those characters than if they just sat on the sidelines and occasionally went "Yeah, let's get 'em!" like some kind of sidekick.
>>150592905>john was a little assholehe literally only ever wanted the best for everyone
Would you guys prefer if the comic ended on game over instead of that shitty epilogue ?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IDKxUEiuyc&t=1s
>>150593032Yes. Though act 7 was a better place to end.
Everybody had read Dave wrong. The animated version is how you should have really heard his voice.
>>150593006As a fag I'm kinda sad that Dirk and Jake ended up together, I liked how they were toxic and realistic teenagers who just needed to break up like pretty much every interesting straight ship in the story.
>>150593056Then I don’t really give a shit as to how Andrew imagined his voice Tryhard pseudo deep voice or bust
>>150592905I'm surprised it's John and not Dave that was brought up, I saw way more complaints about the latter's characterization (deservedly).I thought John was mostly fine except for the weirdly prominent swearing.
>>150593029Not according to Miles and Haven, who seem to think John is a bad person to the point Hussie allows them to speak and work on HS2/Beyond Canon.
>>150593056The Dave hate is explicitly coming from what's printed (typed) on the pages of the comic, it has nothing to do with personal readings.If that's not how people should have read Dave, then Dave should not have been written that way.
>>150593020Who the fuck are these people
>>150593056He smiled once in the entirety of the parts of the comic anyone cares about. I don't think he smiled in act 6 until post-timeskip.
Small thing I haven't seen people here bring up:Dave smiles way too much in the Pilot. He's supposed to be a tryhard 'too cool 4 u' edgelord who only gives you a little smirk at best, he's supposed to feel stoic in the early parts of the comic.
>>150592362>Bro schizowho
>>150593101Fantrolls from an mspfa called prisounebound. Its authors do a lot of draw requests here
>>150593136That's a complaint I've seen multiple times in past threads
>>150593136Okay, but it's a pilot, not an episode 1. It's meant to display how things might hash out, it's not actually supposed to be a reliable depiction of the character at this point in his story.Jade was also more talkative when she's supposed to be dreamy and ethereal, too, but they only had 11 minutes to sell four characters at once.Dave BECOMES wacky dicksguy later on. This wasn't a real act 1 adaptation.
So when this project inevitably collapses, will it be due to Vivziepop or Hussie? >replace 'sorcerer' with 'egomaniac'
>>150593056>Hussie using yet another proxy mouthpiece he can easily dispose of
>>150593177Every project collapsing is always Hussie's fault.
>>150593177So far it seems more likely to just run out of steam. Never getting picked up or not picking up a big enough audience. Hussie’s own stupid decisions in the past seem to be one of the bigger issues
>>150593165Jade was pretty talkative whenever she actually talked to someone, she was just half-asleep so often talking semi-nonsense.
>>150593191he really is slenderman
I wish we had more homestuck art with blood gore maybe some ryona
Who will voice her?
>>150593177If Hussie had managed to get away with the Hiveswap scam allegations, underpaying composers, screwing over freelance artists/writers on HS2, and ghosting Viz Media, you bet your ass he will find a way to make sure Vivziepop takes the fall. The same will happen for FRAF and HICU on Beyond Canon.
>>150592904If Gamzee and Vriska had stayed dead it would have been good
>pilot is merely kind of okay>hussie doubles down on the things people were complaining aboutLoooool

>>150593362Hussie does not really have a narrator voice, or voice acting experience, he's got a nerdy voice nothing wrong with that.They really should have gone with a more subdued, Stanley's Parable-esque narrator though. The discount Caine performance was just jarring.

>>150591123Make Her Pay
>>150592190Your daily reminder that Hussie's obsession over Vriska stems from both his narcissism and him meeting Shelby Cragg's teenaged sister (a Vriska cosplayer) while he was creating Homestuck. He then went on to date and then marry Shelby's sister, and they got divorced this year.
>>150593367he loves it
>>150593407I thought they'd do exactly that, with Doc Scratch narrating with a suitable voice.

>>150593427Doc Scratch's VA narrating might be good, as it'd add an additional reveal when you finally hear him talking to the trolls. However, you wouldn't be able to do the switch when he actually becomes the narrator during the portion when the website turns green.

>>150593630>Homestuck's entire cast shows off Hussie's parental issuesYou mean it just shows off parental issues. Because one of the themes of Homestuck is our relationships with our parents. Because it's a story about growing up. And you don't need to parasocially psychoanalyze every aspect of it to understand that.
Would you have been the better voice for Dave?
>a story about growing up ends with all of them as emotionally stunted man children who cannot ever overcome their issues
>>150593716Equius

>>150593760Yes the process of a child becoming an adult in environments that are inhospitable to them can often result in long lasting issues even when they're out of that inhospitable environment. You've just identified one of the themes of the Epilogues.
>>150593758A huge part of Homestuck fan culture was voice acting and now whatever voice actor deviates from the character's now-canon voice is gonna get shit on by fandom asskissers
>>150593760All art is autobiographical and Homestuck is no exception. It's similar to NGE in that regard where the author chooses to make the story into one big diary entry, and inserts a great deal of their ego-personality into the narrative.

>>150593760Sort of like how hussie himself turned out?
>1M views in a dayNot too shabby
>Decide to watch Homestuck>It's a Midnight Crew episode
So is Hussie still doing the gay goth juggalo shit or has he gone back to looking like this?
>>150594020>Its also better in every way.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yb6uVps3_mI
>>150593789>episodes would be like 20 minutes or somethingThen why did they make an 11 minute pilot where John doesn't even start SBURB?
I like most trolls from hiveswap friendsim but they are never going to be relevant again oh well
>>150594020>more game bro filler
>>150594039judging from his most recent instagram post..... hes still gay and retarded
Are we just gonna gloss over the fact that the vibri person in the discord is the same of cosplayer boople snoot that hussie has been dating since he divorced his last vriska cosplayer gf?
>>150594020>Decide to watch Homestuck>There's an over 50% chance it's an Act 6 episode
>>150594084She sucks his dick?!
>>150594076I'd kill to have him whisper apologies into my ear while I rail him...
>>150594084fucking bastard it's not fair
>>150594100>Its a Act 6 Episode.>But its a Caliborn focused one.
>>150594076This is a 46 year old man
>>150594120hell yeah
>>150593788I don't see it
>>150593995>he doesn't knowhalf the threads on /ic/ are made just to shittalk random artist/twitter dramapost of the day. if someone is lucky enough to get replies to a wip they post rest assured 60% of it is just hurling insults instead of actually helpful criticism
>drew some Rose/Jade lewds for the launch>got mass reported and bannedOh yeah, times have changed.
>>150593789I never knew vibri's gender but this is clearly a woman badly reiterating something a man just explained to her
>>150594166huh banned where? xitter? I follow artists posting full on hentai
>>150594120>the episode where caliborn bullies jane into eatingkino ist on the menu
>>150594166you gotta catbox it these days
>>150594188>it has a trigger warning for fatphobia
>>150594185Yeah. Post caught a whiff of a puriteen squad. Thats all it takes really.
>>150594158No I know all of that, its just the "gatekeeping brushes" thing that baffles me
>>150594207>tw: architecture
>>150594166The neo puritans came for homestuck…
>>150594166Reupload?
>>150594259Jokes on them the normal content can be more lurid and deviant than the porn
>>150594076>>150594129I wonder if he's still gonna be doing all this in 10 years.Dressing up like a mime that showed up for someone's quinceañera, dating ANOTHER vriska cosplayer, trying to force another Homestuck extension.What about 20 years? Are we gonna see a geriatric Hussie still trying to act cool with the teens? Will he ever drop out of the public eye and retire?
>>150594292>Are we gonna see a geriatric Hussie still trying to act cool with the teens?please god let this happen it would be so fucking funnyI hope his 50 year mid life crisis crashout is even bigger than his previous ones
>>150583190I checked out around 2015
>>150594209that's weird since there's lolicon artists on shitter and also I'ev seen shota!dave porn around
its hard to adapt homestuck beacause the format its very different , homestuck is 80% text funny images and puns TOLD YOU ABOUT STAIRS BRO? its an entie separate feebie from the story
>>150593056as if pilot dave isn't literally just fandom dave
>>150594311that's abhorrent! where?
>>150594209you can always post it in the /aco/ thread
>>150594311It all depends if the groups that go around mass reporting find you.That is literally it.
>>150594311Rose and Jade ARE Lolicon material though
>>150594166Ew, rosejade
>>150594166so was there knotting, or
>>150594166
>>150594311Yeah there's been a bigger influx of pedofags into the fandom. Funny, wonder what changed so much.
>>150594209Probably upset because it ruins their pseudohistorical "Rosemary yaoi" and Jadenep autism
>>150594462Nothing changed. Homestuck simply had a prebuilt platform off the back of the entire story featuring 13 and 16 year olds, and then a completely fucked up pervert of a epilogue/sequel.
>>150594472what
I support all homestuck porn be it gay, straight, loli, shota, furry or futa
>>150594496based and coomerpilled
>>150594462The MCs are 13. Its been that type of shit from the start

Why is every jaderose shipper either insane or the most insufferable faggot you'll ever meet?
>>150594558SKRRT SKRRT
>>150594462When Homestuck started I was too young to be a pedo
>>150594492You haven't seen any of these zoomer's profiles. It's all about t4t, solnepjade or davenep or whatever fucking stupid cutesy ship, and obligatory shilling every canon gay ship
>>150594558>average Dave dialogue in the greenlit show
>>150594587i want a shirt with this caption
so this is just going to do the exact same story as the webcomic? seems like a waste of animator time
>>150594600This but with the Homestuck roleplay community (I should double kill myself)
>>150594341just browsing the stridercest tag you see a lot of shit. here's some bro cumming on lil dave's wounds https://x.com/turntechnuckead/status/1971634294012641360regular dave topping bro https://x.com/bbeiex/status/1936088905725379016alpha dave raping dirk https://x.com/floatyart/status/1898471713677189434bro fucking dave https://x.com/bbeiex/status/1970510971983774109blowjob https://x.com/LittleTittyJob/status/1968178390973944225sis and shota dirk https://x.com/broconwhore/status/1797793567542489128shota dirk in a bikini what https://x.com/bbeiex/status/1943335152748548316/photo/1comic part 1 https://x.com/broconwhore/status/1784030416212762704comic part 2 https://x.com/broconwhore/status/1786123207348797871 and part 3 is nsfw apparently but locked behind their other nsfw twitter iirc
>>150594539Smearing aradia
>>150594361yeah my point stands there's lolicon artists on twitter that haven't gotten into trouble>>150594347I guess, I wonder how some manage to stay hidden while others don't
questionis there a schedule for the next episodes release?
>>150594631There's clearly an audience of "I wanna see the thing I like animated" ontop of a contingent of "I've heard about homestuck and it looks interesting but all the gay ARG shit looks impenetrable" so there's a pre-existing sizable audience and an unseen but probable audience that just overlaps with all the other indie shows. You've lived long enough to see late 00s webcomics become nostalgic IP fodder repackaged for a new generation.
>>150594756Anon, it hasn't even been picked up, at this moment there is no series, there is no episode 1.
>>150594756Whenever they get picked up by a network and are able to start producing a show
>>150594774ok well they're fumbling the bag thenclearly people want more episodeslike now
>>150594719stop I only have so much cum left in my balls
>>150594496based. I just wanna see couples being cute and holding hands
>>150594797Dude there are some people but not a shit ton of people. They need to secure funding. It might get picked up by amazon or the likes. It could be continued in house. What matters is the purpose of the pilot is to get it picked up. This takes time.
>>150593348I think its interesting that AI is really good turning a drawing into a 3D model like that but the moment it has to actually create a new 2D drawing its always dogshit. Like the model has the right amounts of segments on the horns but the 2D artwork doesn't
>>150594815right you are anon, sex is fucking gay, being nice to one another is the clearly superior show off affection and intimacy
>>150594834According to Vibiri, sales seem to be doing well, supposedly. Just need someone like Amazon, Netflix, or any other corp to fully back them up.
>>150594797Even if it were to get picked up this instant, it would need: discussions for what the show is actually going to be, how long, how expensive, what changes the studio must go through to develop it, what sacrifices the producer is willing to make for it and demands they choose to make of it, audition and finalize a cast for it, recording, animating, rendering, etc. etc.Knowing Hussie's general incompetence with all of these, a theoretical Episode 1 is not going to happen for at least a year, and more likely not ever.
>>150594582Because they hardly talked in the comic and post-canon stuff is degenerate. Jaderose is fine, it's the furry gooners that ruin everything
>>150594582Because you are laden with confirmation bias, and think anything involving JadeRose is inherently insufferable.
>>150594853Its been one day. Not even a business day. Just w8
>>150591324>more slop otw It’s over…
>>150592059Only when your moms around
>>150592674It didn't work because it's effectively a fictional character talking about how, being fictional, he's not bound by the same expectations as his real-world audience. He operates on narrative logic, existing entirely by fiat within a continuum of pure convenient horseshit.Except none of that's true. It's auteur cult ass poetry, the audience is the source of all willing suspension of disbelief. They bring the story to life, so by definition your character is bound to the explicit capacity of that audience to relate to them. If you embrace weird, tone-deaf disdain for normative culture and don't have any clear foundation to replace it with, what you get is...Homestuck Act 6+
Remember that time someone leaked the ending and no one believed him?
>>150594631There's this dangling promise that they'll do Act 6 differently. But that's gonna be years and years away obviously. Might as well be talking about Mars bases.
>>150594962>knots up allk the loose endsProphetic
>>150594962>it knots uppfffffffffft
>>150594962>knots upno fucking way
>>150592681This is the only good piece of homestuck fanart I've seen after like 2015

Pilot jade was too cutesy dork, I always imagined her as a nerd not a dork
>>150595179You don't remember how she was when she was asleep
>>150595155post post post
I can't believe the pilot mentioned John's interest in programming that went nowhere.
>>150595205Most of the hobbies/interests and music instruments the kids would play were never that important in the grand scheme of Homestuck.
>>150594801happy fappings, anon
>>150595205We were robbed of John and Sollux nerding out over programming.
>>150595205The interest in programming was June foreshadowing. Everyone knows that all computer programmers are either trans, furries, or techpriests
>>150595314I can't believe one out of three programmers are based.
>John awakeyup its kino
>didn't land with people who weren't already fans>people who were already fans are split on whether it's good or total fucking garbageI don't see this show happening unless they fund it themselves, the reception isn't good.
>>150595205He used his knowledge of programming to discover alchemy
>>150595350your echo chamber isn't the reality, the pilot is well liked and they are reporting good sales numbers
>>150595350It depends on merchandise. It has good enough views to pass muster, now it's up to merch and promotion able to sustain it over time.
>>150595380>the pilot is well liked By who?
>>150595350They might attempt to. Maybe using the Spindleroo merch line to replace the Makeship ones.
>>150595350its about merch really Helluva boss works because it sells tons of merch If stolitz its a thing its because fujos buy the merch
>>150595350Unrelated but I think Caliborn sucks. He really highlights how forced Act 6 is in terms of humor and plot progression. At least for her annoying personality Calliope compensates by being unreasonably sexy, but Caliborn is just sad.
I am a lot more optimistic than I thought I would be, worse part is that I don't know why.
Don't know how they expect to do the later parts when so much of it is just people talking with little to nothing happening.
>>150595350aren't the numbers good enough to get picked up? how many views does a pilot need to be successful?
>>150595526they'll have the characters... talk?
>>150595380A lot of people are talking about it, merch is being sold, but the pilot viewership really slowed its numbers after the first 12 hours, so id say its a mixed bag in reception. Probably because not everyone talking about it actually interested in watching it
>>150595350They actually said the merch is doing really well and the pilot is outperforming expectations on available metrics.So....Fuck you I guess....
>>150595417>they get desperate and release a wave of johndave, davekat and johnkat merch to get the fujo moneyWould be based desu.I am the audience for that kind of merch.
>>150595504Caliborn is the coolest character, he beat the demiurge to death with a crowbar
>they're going to fight tooth and nail for a homestuck Fortnite collablolThis is gonna be awesome.
>>150595537It's in a weird limbo where the numbers are passable without being an obvious success. 1 million in 1 day is not anything exceptional but also not completely irrelevant.It will definitely sell more plushies, so I can see it being picked up, but I can also see the lack of any significant impact meaning it ends up going nowhere. Charmingly middle of the road, really.
>>150595636they could genuinely print money if they provided merch of every possible ship and only actually produce the amount ordered.
>>150595681Someone tell this dumb whore to shut the fuck up
>>150595681Of all things, I would unironically play Fortnite and spend the money to have a squad of the four beta kids.
>>150595574should I buy the dave shirt to help support in hopes they make a dirk shirt?
>>150591904For me its https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RIau2KHj9-IAndhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v3PIyyIr2pQThese are the reason Homestuck actually impressed me. An true circular narrative. That and it's scale.Literaly fuck shippers to death.I'll do it right now.
>>150595380>t. obese vivzie shill
Holy fucking shit, we did it /hsg/!
>>150595546That would be fine if a sizable amount of the modern Homestuck fandom wasn't only interested in shipping and if a lot of the dialogue wasn't about story and worldbuilding that that group didn't give a shit about.
>>150594084Vibri isn't boople, she's a different member of Hussie's harem continuing the pattern of employing fujo fangirls and paying them with sex.
>>150595830>success
>>150595830is this an edit?
>>150595830>It's greenlit!!!!!>.. because we've received interest from sponsors.It's not greenlit until you actually get a sponsor and the contracts are signed you lying fuck.

>>150595918It's really not that big of a goldmine.
>>150595830Tell them to fix Dave and keep him straight.
>>150595830I don't see this anywhere, not even in makin's discord. Fake as fuck, nu-hussiefags are desperate.
>>150596045Instructions unclear, cut Dave's balls off and put him on the torture rack.
>>150595830Homestuck is back?!
>>150595830
>>150595830Liar
>>150596045Sorry, the message got scrambled and now Dave is trans.
>>150595918Homestuck isn't a goldmine in 2025. It was in 2014 and its popularity already ran its course. People liked it because it was good. Now they don't like it because all the post-comic material sucks. This "pilot" exists to try to garner a new younger queer demographic, but they have ADHD and are fickle. Like it or not, Homestuck is niche and has burned all its bridges and Vivziepop can't save it or bring it back to the cultural relevance it once had.
>>150595830>check if it's true>it's not>at least there's a cool event where hussie is drawing whatever suggestion gets updoots>mostly shit like this are getting supportedfug
>>150596102See? This is what the fandom is now. Just a few zoomie mouthbreathers who mumble "t4t" and draw yaoi Rosemary and butch lesbian Davekat or whatever. Meaningless, apathetic garbage using the characters as replaceable dolls for their trans headcanons.
>>150596137As opposed to meaningless, apathetic garbage using the characters as replaceable dolls for tradwife fantasies?
>>150596083NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>150596162"Tradwife" (though I haven't seen that in this fandom) and trans self-inserts are spiritually the same. It has nothing to do with the characters or even the comic.
>>150596137>yuri johndavewhut
>>150592968Because even though Hussie has churned out a lot of garbage writing, basically no one else can capture his voice for a lot of these characters.
>>150596083>bimbofied daveHng...
>>150595830Nobody in their right mind would sponsor a Homestuck project in 2025.
>>150593119Oh youre one of those "we didnt see John cry when he found his dad so he's a sociopath" guys arent you
>>150596213Reply to that post with this old Hussie tweet.
>>150596211Well I appreciate the consistency. I think the fandom has always been playing with dolls in that case, then. First it was grimdorks hetslop, then it was fujos making yaoi of John and Karkat, now it's transgender yuri of whoever.
>>150593758I wish I had the autism to take all the pilot dialogue and convert it to pesterchum dialog, just to see how it reads in that format. Not saying it would be good, but that same dialogue in text without exclamation points would feel pretty different
>>150596249But at least John and Rose and John and Karkat had a dynamic. At least there was chemistry. Now it's all about what's "cute" or a race to the bottom of what's most trans. Like wtf does "butch lesbian Spades Slick" even mean?
>>150591123Descend, Cascade, Caliborn: Enter and [S] Wake
>>150596292It means Spades Slick, instead of a gentleman in hatelove with Snowman, is a masculine gentlewoman in hatelove with Snowman. It's not fucking hard to unravel, you are mystified by the depth of a two inch puddle.Be upset that there's water, sure, but be upset correctly.
>>150596335the division of femme/butch fucking baffles me, they're reinventing the same stereotypes but for gays this time
>>150596381Always been that way
>>150596381>reinventingButches have been a thing since at least the 70s.
please let this one win please let this one win >>150596245I'm not trying to get booted kek
>>150596427I know, i shat the thought without explanation. What I meant to say was that lately (last couple years) ive seen them assign the same "expected behavior" onto butches/femmes that used to be the heteronormative stereotype. Or maybe ive just been paying more attention lately and it was always like this, which is also plausible.
>>150595250Its cool that they exist though. The point of them was basically to give readers a toolbox to apply to their commands, so some became important and others didnt. Back when it was all taking place over one day that made sense too, I dont engage in all my hobbies in one day.
>>150595876The pilot did a cool combination of the pesterlogs happening while John was getting up to bullshit. If you did that in act 6 and trimmed a ton of the fat out you might almost make it good.
DAILY REMINDER THAT VRISKA RUINED THE COMICFUCK VRISKA
>>150595681did vibri have a public presence before the site revival? I'd never heard the name before
>>150596558But you got things like Rose having Needles as weapons that ties her sewing, Dave having turntables to rewind time, John's piano/organ playing being the key to finish his quest on his planet. It shows they aren't fully wasted.
>>150596609whats ur discord
>>150596613I didn't mean to imply they were wasted at all, I think every instance of them coming up later is great. Not to give to much credit to Andrew "we'r human beings, we dont have arcs" Hussie but its kind of cool and melancholic that we see these kids grow up and lose some of their interests, like when Dave looks back at his old room. God I always forget how much I like that act right after the 3 year trip ends

>>150596803What's with your kiwi?
>>150596335I know what it literally means, I'm saying that it bears no significance and says nothing about the character autist.
>>150596822I don't have one. perhaps that is my issue
Honestly after giving it a day or so, and re-reading some of the comic proper, I think the pilot is one of the best case scenarios. Assuming this is an actual pilot, and they're not doing the thing that Glitch does where Pilot and First Episode are effectively interchangeable, it >introduces the four kids>Demonstrates how they intend to show the pesterlogs>Demonstrates the way they intend to do action>Demonstrates how the sylladex works in animated form>Gives the basic gist of what's happening but also that there's more to the story than this>Doesn't spoil too much so that new viewers can get a gist of thingsSure there's definitely faults. Dave's characterization has the right words but too much energy behind them, and I'm convinced the overusage of swears is compensation for John not being able to call his inventory system retarded, and they had to basically cut every movie reference or else risk copyright shit (probably). I think that, if they adapted it as a 1:1 recreation, people would say it's boring because the first thirty minutes would just be John fucking around in his room before anything can happen.
>>150596803People used to draw Karkat with a pet kiwi.You need to understand, a lot of people /really/ didn't want to let go of the comic after it ended, so they just came up with random shit while bored hanging out in the hst threads.
>>150596871Why did they make a pilot pitch not show off interesting stuff in the middle of the game, if it was meant to be for investors?
>>150596893Funny how without Dave Karkat ends up fucking the girl of his dreams (the empress) and gets what he wanted.
>>150596900They showed Jack and Prospit, but the bottom line is that investors dont give a shit about the cool worlds and story, they give a shit about merch. And you know whats gonna move merch? That big montage of trolls at the end. They covered what they needed to.
>>150596900Because it was also meant to be posted online for everyone else to check out, too. The beginning of the comic has the least about of required context for new viewers, so that they can get newbies interested in it, too
>>150596978>least about of required context*least AMOUNT of required context.
>>150596948In an ideal world they wouldn't end up together and would both be happier because of that.
>>150591123[s]John: Reunite with your loving wife and daughter. It's the perfect sort of goofy between John's movie fanboying, Dave's snark, and Karkat's desperate need to lobotomize himself
>>150596845Then you're simply retarded and getting outraged over nothing at all. People have been saying things like "Twink Spock" since the 60s. Get over yourself.
