Hussie is a well-known user of the Stan Lee and Araki schools of immortality. He sucks the souls of smaller, less talented artists to stay alive forever, and he then bathes in the blood of the underlings he hires to keep his youthful figure

i kind of wish homestuck ended abruptly or hussie had died following the release or buildup to of Cascade. nearly everything past it has been the lowest and most disappointing point of the comic and i would have been more content wondering what could have been rather than having to live with what we have now.

Does anybody else here think that Act 6 wasn't *that* bad? Compared to the other 5 acts it was obviously worse but I don't think that it killed Homestuck.

>>
>>81138377
it's not like that at all
>>
>>81138377
The only reason Aranea was there was to force Game Over. Aranea herself was unceremoniously dumped on us as a plot point.

The only thing we got out of Game Over was so sprite squared that exists to get merged to build into an anti-Lord English deus ex machina. That's obscenely unsatisfying.

I'm just saying that even if Game Over "didn't happen" it mattered in the comic because they couldn't win the game without Vriska fuckery

So really whether you like Game Over or not boils down to how much of a Vriskafag you are

>>81138404
The difference in scope between this and the Terezi shit from Act 4 is so huge that to compare them would be outright retarded. A handful of pages versus a whole three years' worth of content. Don't you fucking compare that anthill to this mountain.

Competent is fine and dandy but it was established very early that there's no way they can win without excessive cheating, which Vriska excels at

And that's also a lie because Terezi was a stupid depressed fuck, Rose was a drunkard and the alpha kids had to deal with Gamzee fucking with them

>>81138562

I think everything is going to go very wrong and basically a Game Over 2.0 is going to happen. John will realize that an alive Vriska is a bad thing and will go back to FL1P and stop himself from stopping Terezi. Also he'll probably give Terezi the wallet.

If it didn't happen and that timeline didn't matter then why show it at all

You guys would have a point if John and Roxy were out of the loop but they're not, it's not the author coming in and saying "none of that mattered ignore it, it's done"

Did you guys sperg out over being shown the doomed Vriska versus Jack timeline too that didn't happen

"But this is a LITERAL IN-UNIVERSE RETCON" okay but we're the readers and it still happened and mattered and affected the plot up to this point, John and Roxy are still the original John and Roxy, and now we have Vriska back

I've been reading since 2012 and always stayed away from the HSG threads because they seemed like a cesspool of shit. I'm glad the Homestuck threads are this way now.

Is andrews treatment of Homsestucks update schedule and his decision to put it on the back burner for his KS game the biggest mishandling of a popular brand in recent memory? Homestuck used to be the literal biggest thing on the internet but with it taking longer and longer hiatuses it seems that excitement for it has floundered
>>
>>81140922
it seemed like a smart idea at the time
it WOULD have been a smart idea if everything had gone as planned

HOMESTUCK SEASON 7 CONFIRMED BY TRIGGER
>>

>There's /homosuck/ on cripplechan.
that's why i said i miss when HSG had people in it, not 3 tripfags
>>

You cheeky cunts thats true
>>
>>81140993
There's like 30ish people, and it's bad when vfan or someone starts shitposting but it's not usually that bad.
>>
>>81140922

Yes

i dont think theres been a bigger misfire yet in web creative work. it was huge and hussie let it go when all he had to do was keep doing what he was doing before with an allowance for the start of act 6.

it never built back up. cascade is the highest pinnacle from 5 years ago.
>>
It's really depressing to see that the scraps are being taken down and most of his Twitter is gone
I really hope those were saved somewhere and surface by a kind anon who makes an annotated homestuck someday in the future
Including all blog posts and other related metatexual content
>>
>>81136975
shit, did i pick the wrong time to re-read homestuck. i started 11 days ago and im half way through hivebent
>>
>>81141124
I remember when halftruth posted on reddit defending having the main climax in the center of a story
she had a graph and everything it was weird
>>
>>81141126
The archive of hussie's formspring is somewhere, so all the fat vriska jokes are preserved.
>>
>>81141134
>11 days ago
>half way through hivebent
at that rate you should catch up in six months
>>
>>81140864
>>81140923
I was thinking about it and remembered I started reading BEFORE cascade. I've actually been reading since January/February 2011. I started coming to these threads after the 2014-2015 hiatus.
>>
>>81141126
wait why the fuck is Hussie deleting like all his tweets
>>
>>81141297
having a full time job sure does suck. I'm skipping recaps and meenahquest though
>>
>>81141475
He's getting ready for the part of the update where John retcons it so Hussie never starts Homestuck.
>>
>>81141475
clean slate. his next project is gonna be higher profile, so he wants as little dirt that can be used against him laying around the internet, because the last thing he wants is to be in the middle of an interview and someone to bring up the treatment of women in Cool Dude and Stoner Lou
>>
>>81141620
i don't blame him desu, his audience is full of slimy little faggots who like to pick at every single thing he's ever done
>>
>>81141659
>At least these threads kind of discuss the comic.
You mean the comic that's effectively been on hiatus for multiple years?

Not to mention everything was talked to death in hsg. That's /why/ there was shitposting and memes, we had discussed every possible thing to talk about.
>>
I wonder if Hussie hated his fanbase at any point. I'm pretty sure his fanbase is what marked the beginning of uptight SJW faggotry in fandom.
>>
>>81141806
Homestuck, as a fandom, drastically re-shaped how any fandom works.

Well, "internet" fandoms at least.
>>
>>81141806
i remember back in like 2011 someone asked him this question on formspring and he said there was a point where he felt like making updates was pointless because people were just gonna hate it anyway but he got over it quickly

this was way before any of the REALLY bad shit happened so who the fuck knows at this point
>>
>>81141869
It also re-shaped cons.
>>
>>81141872
I find it so strange that the faggotry that is Tumblr fandom that we all know of today really got its start with Homestuck of all things. Made me wonder how any of those people managed to read Homestuck.
>>
>>81141806
He avoids it for a reason.
>>
>>81141893
Yea, part of my point.

The impact Homestuck had on fandoms is pretty interesting in itself. Sometimes I forget just how fucking influential this shit was, it truly was a force to reckon with.
>>
>>81142012
Homestuck is like the Velvet Underground of webcomics. Not very mainstream, massive underground following, influenced pretty much every creator who touched it, and continues to influence things through the people it inspired. There are Homestuck fanartists working on things like Steven Universe, Toby Fox made Undertale, etc. It's pretty fucking wild.
>>
>>81142105
>Not very mainstream, massive underground following
I mean, in the "real world" sure but from 2010-2013 you couldn't move an inch without someone mentioning Homestuck.

>>81142106
The Dolorosa's Long Long Legs
>>
>>81142145
I mean compare it to something like Undertale, which is on every site even remotely related to video games.
>>
>>81142105
It's also interesting how the hype for it fizzled out. I remember going to a con in 2012 and there were hundreds of Homestuck cosplayers, and then I went to one recently and I barely saw a handful at this same con.
>>
>>81142184
I heard the number of cosplayers was still quite high, but the average age of them was like 12
>>
>>81142171
Yea, and Homestuck was on every site remotely related to comics (and many that weren't).

Going off of google trends undertale is more popular (which isn't surprising in the least, for a multitude of reasons) but it was still everywhere.

Not to mention that Radiation, the creator of Undertale, was best friends with Hussie, made a significant portion of the music for Homestuck, and literally lived in his basement for a time.

Plus you've got all sorts of webcomics and people who worked on Homestuck who were in the Homestuck fandom who went on to do shit.
>>
>>81142226
Probably stragglers and kids who were a bit too young during its popularity peak just now finding out about it.
>>
>>81142184
It's mostly because the comic stopped updating and when it did it was usually bad.

Like sure you see Naruto cosplayers still but not a lot.
>>
>>81142271
What I mostly saw was the volleyball anime and Steven Universe. There was some Undertale but not as much as I expected. In the past I remember how pissed other con goers would be about the "grey candycorn people infestation".
>>
>>81142184
That's how the cycle of interest goes. People like something that's on top, then move onto the new flavor of the month fandom. First it was Supernatural, then Doctor Who, then Homestuck, then Off, Dangan Rompa, that fucking Lorax movie, and now Undertale.

It's sort of like what happens to the troll ghosts in the ministrife. A few appeared at first for the fight, then more popped in to see what was going on, then more kept coming to see what people were crowding around for, and then it became a party and the fight was largely forgotten about. Fandoms are much like this in behavior.

Jegus, just reading Vriska's dialogues is already enough to put a bullet through your head, imagine having her stuck in your head 24/7

i don't think i can handle the idea of homestuck ending
it's been such a massive influence on my life for such a large part of it
>>
>>81142381
I dunno man, people are still interested in Evangelion and Lord of the Rings decades later.
>>
>>81142171
Just anecdotally, basically everyone I know has played or at least seen a Let's Play of Undertale (except for my parents. They haven't.). I know like three people who have read Homestuck.
>>

>>81142908
if that isn't one of if not THE final flash song i'm going to fucking kill myself
>>
>>81142818
Yes, and so am I. But I mean those people are largely in it because they like the actual content, not just because it's the current popular thing to be in.

Remember how some new readers would skip straight to Act 5 for the trolls? Those kind of people are the ones I'm talking about.
>>
>>81142958
the final flash song is gonna be Alternia dude http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/alternia

Ever jack off to the comic?
I'm not talking fan art or fics, but actual panels or text from the comic?

I jacked off to the Aranea healing Jake on Derse update after years of projecting in as Jake and being an Aranea fag who has a history of liking blue girls, spider girls, mind control, manipulative chicks, all kinds of that shit, update sent me off my fuckin rocker for a bit.

The fact that there will be a last page with nothing to move on to will be the first good part of Homestuck in over a year.
