I don't know... Some of these are just more baroque versions of "it's bad because it's bad". I'm not sure how I'm supposed to respond to 'x is uncompelling' or 'x is insufferable', because I think that just comes down to stylistic preference. I thought the prose was alright, pretty serviceable at most points and even kind of nice when it came to the Lord English sequences in Meat.
I think it's reductive to boil down the meta stuff to 'bad stories are unenjoyable', it's just an extension of what the comic had already been talking about re: unreliable narrators and authorial voice.
I concede some of the political themes are confused, especially because it read to me like Dave's Obama obsession was kind of farcical, but they ended up going full to-the-hilt earnest Obama glazing as the capstone for Candy which was annoying. Fuck Obama, that was the epilogues at its most lib.
I think Jane's trajectory actually ends up reading even better than when it released, because she's less of a Trump allegory and more of a Musk/Thiel billionaire influence peddling type. I actually really liked Jane's turn in the epilogues, but I'm glad they retconned Meat Jane into less of an overt villain in HSBC.
As for the 'fetish shit', it's a little dishonest to ignore how much of Homestuck is tied up in paraphilias. The character's sexual desires, in both text and subtext, have always been a factor in their stories (Equius (with both Aradia and Gamzee), Doc Scratch as an allegory for a pedophilic groomer, the Strilonde incest themes, Jake's blue lady fetish, pre-scratch Dirk's nightmarish obstacle course of gay puppets that Dave has to navigate, not to mention nearly a dozen characters who interface with the furry fandom in some way).

Because FunkMcLovin is a public figure within the Homestuck community, they think they should be pure. Some accuse him as a pedo because he's RPing as 13/16 year old fictional girls. Not sure who the other person was if they were older or younger than FunkMcLovin. Some think he is a creep because he is RPing as a fictional girl despite being a man. Either way, he is hated by the modern fans who had looked up to him for fanon lore and headcanons because most newgen can't think for themselves.

That's literally what it comes down to though. Hussie got up his ass and started to think he was the next James Joyce because PBS said his nominally impenetrable work had good payoff for doing so and thought that meant he could write the modern hypertext masterpiece, but his actual contributions and thoughts about stories are fucking juvenile, and that's being generous.

"Oh stories need a balance of elements to be good" congratulations you dumb zolpidem abusing halfwit, you learned what children learn when reading Frog & Toad in first grade. Pretty soon you'll be writing Thomas the Tank Engine fanfiction with the best of them, using such important narrative devices such as: characters. And: dialogue!

She is literally a trump allegory. They weren't subtle about this and were up front about their intentions.

Which is like, whatever, but listening to Hussie use the characters as his mouthpiece about his retarded finance theories while also underpaying and fucking over his employees? Give me a fucking break.

And no, irony isn't a defense here. Hussie buys into the shit he spouts, that much has finally been made clear.

>>150670434
>>150670327
The themes of the epilogue are an elaboration of the themes that lead Hussie to animate Caliborn breaking the website. I just don't understand your position here, his observations are so obvious as to be juvenile, but at the same time he's wrong to make these observations? If they're so obvious they shouldn't be so objectionable, right?

They're objectionable because they're obvious, dipshit.

This is the same guy that made "Hitler was right" a legitimate part of Homestuck's lore and thought it was a good idea to post it.

Hussie's reason: Trolls becomes fairies upon godtiering, it's like a twist on Navi from Zelda. But also just because it looks cool. Meanwhile godtier humans more resemble classic superheroes with the long flowing capes or other parts of the costume. Best example is Jake
In-universe reason: Trolls are like axolotls where they have the potential to grow wings but have lost that trait during evolution. The nitrams have a mutation that brings that feature back. Troll culture then views those wings as their "full" form, so godtiering makes it come true. Humans don't really have the same thing. Like, once again, superheroes. Superman is, well, a super man. He's the ideal human

this just makes you look like you're in denial. Hussie really does talk like that, and he really is that delusional.

there's a decent probability he outright psyoped himself with his Vriska pity parade, and given his interminable struggles with theory of mind, assumes all others feel the same.

>>150670555
i really don't understand how he managed to get worse. was it just that he was on a razor's edge of shit that was kept stable by a modicum of restraint, and he teetered off into an abyss the moment he got enough confidence to be the narcissist he always wanted? even if that was the case, how has he managed to consistently learn nothing from what worked and what clearly didn't?

if i'd squandered something with the cultural inertia that Homestuck had as badly as Hussie squandered it i'd quit all artistic pursuits and go live in a hole in the ground somewhere in shame.

Because he surrounded himself with sycophants who tell him otherwise. It kind of sounds like these days have been a wakeup call if nothing else, since he's trying to wash his hands of post-canon and only acknowledges the parts of Homestuck people praise.

Funnily enough, I think you're engaging with the themes of the Epilogues more than me! You're incredibly preoccupied with the character of the author/narrator and how it colors the contents of the story, in the same way Calliope describes to Aradia.

>>150671157
okay, first off, i hadn't even realized you'd confused me with the anon posting that discord screenshot - i'm not that anon.

second, let me put this as diplomatically as i can: lampshading that you are a terrible writer while not doing anything to improve does not make the resulting product any less retarded.

"my work is shit" as a theme of the work itself is ALWAYS retarded, and "hurr durr u reacted to the feces i put on your screen" is both retarded and not sustainable or productive engagement. there's very little of the fandom left because pure outrage engagement only works on a captive audience. a single work with that strategy will just drive everyone but sycophants away, and lead to things like an animated pilot for Homestuck struggling to reach 2 million views.

that pilot is the closest thing to an objective barometer of the actual general opinion of Homestuck in a while, and the verdict is exactly as grim as everyone outside that bubble had been telling those voluntarily trapped within for years.

that clear things up for ya?

>>150671318
>What makes you say that's the theme of the Epilogues?
you said i'd engaged with them while misunderstanding who you were talking to in the first place, so that's what i'm responding to. i haven't read them and i have no interest in doing so from what little i've heard about them from both positive and negative perspectives.

especially since the positive perspectives seem to reliably be from "up their own ass sniffing the back of their own tongues" pretentious types.

all i wanted to understand was how Hussie had gotten worse as an artist, because that almost never happens without something else external changing, and i literally watched it happen with him. if you don't have an answer for that, you're just talking past me and accomplishing nothing.

I was in the middle of a discussion of the Epilogues when you replied to me. It's pretty reasonable to assume you were engaging with me about the Epilogues. If you're talking about Homestuck proper, you still haven't qualified your claims that 'my work is shit' is a theme of the comic. Is there a page or a line you want to point to?
>>150671421
What else is there to talk about? If I had the same stance as this anon, >>150671382, that everything after Act 5.2 was shit or didn't matter, I would honestly just not engage with Homestuck at all and forget about it entirely. That's what I do when I don't care for a piece of fiction. I can't imagine loathing such a large volume of a story while continuing to let it occupy so much mental real estate.

Wouldn't any trailers or other meaningful announcements about any official HS games just be shunted to one of the several dozen video game showcases that covers indie/small developers that happens every single year and has an infinitely larger audience than SAHcon ever had?

Like yeah you won't get the worthless crumbs where they drag the devs out to show like one background and 2 new animation loops each year but like who the fuck cares about that shit anyway?

bending a knee to the trannies and futafags in the epilogues and hs^2 was the worst thing that's happened to the HS fandom.
given an inch and a mile was taken, the fandom was already bad with the regular tumblrinas, but now its noxious.
You can't even use a majority of quirks in the official HS discord server of all places.
>it has to be e-reader compliant!
the beyond canon channel is literally just a transgender hug-box where even suggesting a character is straight, white, or 'cis' will immediately bring you ire.

they didn't even fucking have the bravery to double down on the dogdick, they just left it vague and ambiguous on purpose because it helps the trannies project even harder.
God it pisses me off how much of a shitshow it caused and the writers haven't even confirmed or retconned it because they are cowards and can't stand by their own shitty decisions

blatantly ignoring Chekovs fucking smoking dog penis of Infinite AGP projection. the evil ass elephant of unending-flame wars standing in the center of the room.

I remember that anons rant and out of curiousity then did read it myself.

The Vriska stuff is whatever, not minding it that much but then you have such weird ass moves as literally every troll is back alive and falling for the most stupid schemes imaginable?

Its not ourageously bad, but as you say it yourself, the OC stuff is odd (One Alien is just Prince Zuko and the shapeshifter is literally Toga Himiko) and the characters act odd.

I'd mind it less if it was entirely OCs or only the kids, but what even was the point of the new aliens? mind you I only read up to 800 pages or something like that, but weren't they called the shinobis or something?

>>
>>150672342
The new aliens are there to add some sort of antagonists i guess, but then of course its revealed that they´re a dying species because Prince Zuko fucked up and blew up half the planet.

Also may or may not be a race that played the game before with just one god tier from that time remaining alive trying to salvage things and enabling the murderhobo shapeshifter chick that has 1:1 the background story of Toga from MHA.

Also theres a Future Dave and he´s going full idiot doing as he himself calls it a "Vriska", then you also have John/Vriska every bunch of pages as it feels talk about how things are different now.

Oddest i think is still just kinda handwaving it and having all the trolls, dancestors included alive, just feels cheap to me.

it was, of course, because of the comic itself but also because of the music, all the artists who put their effort in, who eventually did make art for the comic... and i'm just wondering like why was it good then and somehow, somewhere it *stopped* being good? when was the magic lost, exactly? was the magic even really there? was it all one huge shilling campaign? everything that happened after homestuck colors the OG in the worst way because as more and more time goes on the more the "good" parts of homestuck look like an anomaly. homestuck was really always fandom-based, so it had to be the nature of the fandom itself that changed if the fans were always the one who created that sense of goodness
>>
>>150672482
I don't think it's a work of high art or anything but Acts 1-5 are still great if you just take them for what they are: experimental sci-fi with cool concepts, evocative imagery, entertaining characters, and humor aimed primarily at Something Awful compsci geeks. It's easy to see why people fell in love with the comic.
>>

Most of the fans of the comic were joiners who really only knew it through Octopimp voice acting fancomics. They enjoyed the community and hype more than the comic itself.

did the fans start having a god complex? idk. plus canon/fanon divide doesn't exist in homestuck, except now there's no one Sacred Text you can point to. everything is canon and so nothing is. there's no reason to care anymore because everything is fanfiction. so what even gave the illusion we were reading a story? we thought, because one man is writing it. but that was proven wrong in act 6

he deleted all his videos too. it's just that homestuck, i think, HAD to be consumed in the context of the early 2010s, it was only comprehensible in that time period, and since it's an internet comic it's in the lost media territory. so much of the fandom too is/was lost media

Like what is the lead in to this does the author just decided at one point to trash his own interesting story and make into a crude glorified fanfiction of itself that feels the need to hyper sexualize everything where there wasn't anything sexual before?

I was admittedly more engrossed in watching Pewdiepie, Markipler, and Tobuscus at the time than I was about the ongoings of any forums or elsewise social media, along with the occasional foray into watching various animations or modded Minecraft playthroughs. So I know little of the early rot of those times.

(Me) another question I have anyways is that sometimes it feels like the prompts from what I assume are the reader (at the time of release) that seem to have foreknowledge of what's to come influencing the decision making, are these just made by the author himself, or was there any supplementary material that informed these voting decisions on some occasions.
>>

She mogs the shortstack
>>
>>150674603
Yeah, there were still suggestion box threads on the official forums in the early acts. I used to look up unused commands for pages sometimes, but the forums got nuked unfortunately.
>>
>>150674603
Audience prompting stops very early on IIRC as soon as John bites the apple and enters The Medium, around that point. Hussie switched it to voting, and only for very specific shit like Jade's name and shirt designs and whatever else
>>
>>150673791
He is right
>>
>>150674603
>>150674678
To answer the second part of the question, I think some were by the author but some were BS-ing something into happening. Depends on the case.
>>
>>150674682
I think that's true for John but there were different boxes for the other kids up until a point. Or maybe just Dave?

So let the gavel fall: Dave, who began as pose, is most alive where the pose fails; Dave, who time-hopped to dodge himself, wins only when he stays. And if the choir cannot agree whether that staying is grace or accident, the clock—tired of being clever—ticks anyway, and a sword, finally useful, points forward instead of inward.

The prisounebound tumblr made a post about how fraf and hussie sucks. The authors of autopraxis tried to argue against it, and when they got dogpilled in the comments by other users, they backpeddled and deleted their comment.

Homestuck independent creators union.

Basically creators that have made fanworks of homestuck that the current HS-Team endorses.
The irony is INDEED lost on them with that name, and while we don't officially know how much influence the team has over the creators, the bias is very much obvious for who they let in.
KGTAC isn't on their and it's one of the top completed fanventures. Granted the author dropped off the earth as far as we know so maybe that's a reason

Was being kind of retarded by not being upfront with him in the first place, to a point that she indirectly pushes him to be with dirk

Was only because of his blue woman fetish and after the whole trickster arc incident, he wasn’t really in the mood for any intimacy for a hot minute
I do agree with the fact that he did get shat on hard by the narrative by having him being comically dense to a point of being an awful friend and ultimately ending up as a more pathetic john at the end of the original comic
the fact he never has a signature harleyegbert outburst just proves this even further

I was thinking of bard of void and I think bard of void would look like a mime. A mage of space would meanwhile have a big wizard hat with stars. I may draw these

>>150680624
No
They won their session, they objectively won, and there was no reason they would have anticipated god tiers or Jack. Vriska is trying to say that had she done a few more murders like a good friend maybe they could have done more. Then she reality checks herself with "oh but we won because we DIDN'T kill each other" which sounds like a serial killer making a joke
>>
>>150680647
nice. hope it comes out well. sounds like a fun project
>>
>>150680704
I also really, really doubt throwing a few more god tiers at Jack would have done it, just meant he opens with Red Miles and nukes them all via AOE right away.

New pages added!

One of the trolls remarks that this is the last part of the timeline that they're able to see because of something Jade does in a matter of hours.
Then we wade into [S] Descend, which for a lot of people was a highlight of the original run. Jack begins slaughtering the armies of Skaia, wreaking quite a lot of damage to the planet itself in the process. One of his underlings returns the white king's scepter to him, which is promptly used to end the session: a meteor shower is summoned.
Meanwhile, an agent of Jack's clones a dog using the stolen code Rose tried to destroy. It glows an eerie green...
Jack leaves Skaia to its fate and heads up to Prospit, severing its moon and letting it fall to Skaia to inflict even more damage (presumably to hasten the end of the session). John and Jade tumble to the surface of Skaia, with John still asleep. After trying to wake him up Jade manages to throw him out of the radius of the impact, but sacrifices her dream self in the process. The process of summoning the meteors triggers the planet to use gates to move some of the incoming meteors out of the session -- we find out how the kids and their guardians and the exiles all get to Earth.
Rose, in a fit of pique, blows up the gate above her house. She has decided the game is stacked against them and resolves to not play by its rules. Then she sends her collected thoughts on the game out into paradox space, perhaps providing the first and only guidebook that sburb has ever had (if such a thing can be said to make sense in a place which can interact with all times).
John takes Jade's ring and is given a vision that leads him into receiving a very important green package. It contains a letter from Jade and someone he has never met, along with several unusual items.
Jack comes to take the ring, but a well-armed stuffed bunny emerges to defend John.
Meanwhile, one of the exiles saves John's sleeping self from the ectobiology lab and sends him off.
Jack retreats...

I read homestuck for the first time years after the fact, but my gf was around when it was first coming out. She wants me to ask if anyone here can confirm that Damara makes a reference to the yaranaika meme during the part where you play as Meenah in a flash game. She's very distressed because she can't find any references to it anywhere but she swears it had happened in an earlier version of the comic

nah that was a fancomic but i remember what youre talking about, iirc octopimp dubbed it
kankri asks horuss if he has his whistle and horuss digs through a chest looking for it, then hands kankri a big blue horse dildo and asks him to hold it for a minute, he does, then realizes what hes holding and throws it with a scream, damara walks down some path and finds the horse dildo then has a mischievious face, flash to meenah running down the same path and encountering damara sitting on a bench in a speedsuit, they make eye contact and damara engages in the meme zipping the speedsuit down and exposing the horse cock, to which meenah looks disgusted and goes WTF

It comes up with the stupidest excuse to allow Davepeta to exist, and yet the author is completely unable to bring an incarnation HB back to live despite being an incredibly easy thing to do so.

in homestuck you'll notice there are few actually 'nice' characters, every character has a selfish ulterior motive, is simply a bitch or their bullied personality is seen as proof of the 'real' them

The very mission statement of CSAU is stupid because it's already trying to bring nearly every rando back to life, not because it didn't revive your flavor of rando. It's smoothing down all of the edges of the story. It just makes for mediocre, anodyne reading. Sweet cotton candy fluff for people who like that stuff, but nothing to write home about.
>>
Ah yes spooky month
Time to watch Killer Klowns from Outer Space
>>
>>150683179
Feferi isn't unambiguously nice, she does have a mean streak, best seen in her logs with Jade. Which is perfectly fine in my opinion, she's a great character that sadly lost the main cast lotto so we couldn't see that developed a little more.
>>150683005
'Siding with' is coming at it with the wrong approach. The chaotic characters are ones that gum up the gears of the story and cause conflict, of course he'd want to feature them more often in his comic.
>>
>>150683179
>feferi
>kanaya
>calliope
>dancestors
you have to be kidding
nepeta and roxy are pretty nice but they both have violent sides
>>
>>150683222
honk ;o
>>
>>150683240
what i mean by "siding with" is that they're usually portrayed as in the right for being bullies, see vriska being brought back just to knock the alcohol out of rose and kanaya's hand and tavros always being blamed for being "a wimp", damara being disliked by the whole dancestor cast for snapping at meenah after years of taunting
>>
>>150683180
My main point is that the faventure advertises itself as the ultimate wish-fulfillment fic that aims to please all sides (John and June coexisting for instance), but the moment you focus on the stickmen character you realize the author is incapable of accomplishing even that.

Carapacians are truly the ultimate filter for this forsaken fandom.
>>
>>150683276
and just the logic of "karkat was actually a bad leader because he was too nice and everything was too peaceful so vriska would have been better" is exactly the same logic that led meenah to bully damara and it's just seen as right by the story
>>
>>150683304
it's just hard not to come away from vriska's comeback with the notion that the comic thinks bullies are fine for being bullies as long as they're serving a personal agenda they've convinced themselves is heroic (a speedrun to death) and that being too nice is a flaw

I do have my reservations with how Vriskagram was handled because it made Vriska returning as the 'single solution' rather than something that has knock-on effects like making Terezi not lose her shit and get down with the clown. The smacking Rose's drink thing was odd because immediately after it in A6A6I5 Rose herself says that Kanaya was mainly the one who helped her through her addiction, so why show that shot with Vriska?

But in what way is Vriska's take on Karkat's leadership skills meant to be right? It's during her final conversation with John, where she's literally expounding how fucked up she and the planet she's from is. You're not supposed to read that and be like 'damn she's spitting, they should have killed each other' you should think 'wow these teenagers have been turned by psychopaths by Alternia'. Remember that after this convo, her type A, 'be the biggest lone badass' mindset gets her killed by either Bec Noir or Terezi.
>AG: He'd 8e so pissed if he heard me say this, 8ut I think he'd cut it 8etter as a human than as a troll.
>EB: you probably mean that as an insult, but i think it is a nice compliment!
Karkat's whole thing IS that being soft and nice is not a flaw. He's trying to front as a badass Alternian warrior but deep down he's too altruistic to really commit to the bit.

because at the end of the comic the retcon is supposed to fix the timeline so vriska who was killed before and taught a lesson is suddenly proven correct and whose unchanged personality is the apparent perfect fix for the meteor crew's problems
>>
>>150683454
>vriska who was killed before and taught a lesson is suddenly proven correct and whose unchanged personality
Except she is still stopped from doing what she originally wanted to do, just not killed for it. She gets knocked out by John to prevent her from going to fight Bec Noir, if she was still the same Vriska she would have tried to either do it again, or try to solo the villains in the Alpha Kids' session.

i'm not saying andrew didn't create good characters, i just think he misunderstood what made people like vriska in the first place and got mad she was even controversial, a stance he apparently continues to this day
>>150683523
being killed forced her to change, and her aggressive narcissistic personality is unchanged once she's never forced to reckon with the wrongness of her actions and outlook, she's ultimately proven a hero post-retcon but not one with any character arc anymore. she's more like a deus ex machina
>>
>>150683534
yeah it turns out the "oppressive violent society" vriska fans like to point to a sobstory was actually proven right by the same one they're claiming was a victim

>>150683534
Both bro and alternia made warriors. It worked. Blame the game not the players.
>>
>>150683678
exactly that's why dave's abuse arc is tonally dissonant
>>
>>150683700
I don't really agree.
I always felt it was more about how even someone abusing you for your own good (the way Bro did to Dave) still doesn't mean it won't affect you later on.

Like yeah, Bro made Dave a warrior because that's what Dave NEEDED to be, but that doesn't mean that Dave wasn't traumatized by his cruel upbringing, whether he technically needed it to survive or not doesn't really affect that.

It's meant to be complex and layered but people like to simplify it to just "Bro was abusive" because they're stupid and incapable of understanding nuance.
