How exactly is she a Mary Sue post-retcon? Sure in Hivebent she might have powerleveled and become THE B8ST at everything but by the time we get to the reunion, no one likes her, not the characters or the audience and she's pretty much useless. She hasn't played any part of the story or ending so far, other then hold onto the Juju.

She seems like a pretty thoroughly deconstructed Mary Sue to me, like Jade except rather then losing powers and relevance Vriska got brought back just so she could be shit on and have all her build up and plans amount to nothing.
>>
>>81694184
>by the time we get to the reunion, no one likes her,
No one dislikes her as much as they should, because she inexplicably "gets the job done", even though all the characters have been previously capable of all the things Vriska did in the Vriskagram. They had to suddenly become retarded for three whole years just to make her relevant.
>>

>>
>>81694230
I'm pretty sure they all know and acknowledge she's a psychopath but put up with it because they have better things to do. They only tolerate her out of apathy.

The only shitty part was Terezi because her entire arc was undone and she went back to being Vriska's Gurlcock-slave. What was the point of John writing "You don't need him" when later she'd go "Ablooabloo I NEED Vriska", it was kind of harrowing to see.
>>
>>81694230
Headcanon: trolls and humans become retarded when in proximity of eachother for long periods of time. That's why John, Jade, and Davesprite weren't ruined by the 3 years.

>>81694313
Don't think so bro, they were always that way.
Now Davesprite merging with Nepeta, THAT kinda took a huge dump on his character, and pretty much ruined his Arc completely.

Remember how Hussie ranted about Super-Mario powerup stars and how shortcuts and tricks ruin someone's personal growth? Well getting merged a frivolous Catgirl just to cheer Davesprite up was a HUGE glowing star. He didn't have to overcome or do anything, whereas you look at Dave and Dirk actually talking it out and trying to solve their emotional dilemmas. It's just a really cheap and crappy way to ruin any investment.

John could get temperamental but it wasn't his default setting, Jade didn't even have a boyfriend she just had hope for the future.

>Now Davesprite merging with Nepeta, THAT kinda took a huge dump on his character, and pretty much ruined his Arc completely.
What did you think his arc was? His arc was, "I'm less important because I'm not the alpha Dave what do I do with myself". The Nepeta thing, while cheap, doesn't actually ruin his arc, because it actually addresses it directly by making him cosmically aware of all of his selves and making him know they're all equally valid because something something something greater self something something something.

This was addressed before Remem8er. She needed DA BOYS before the retcon, she needs Vriska post-retcon. Well, she has always needed Vriska. The thing is that she always needed somebody because she was incomplete, but that somebody was herself, and she did it when she was able to REMEMBER.

I expect that this will be developed if we get more dialogs. God I hope we do.
>>
>>81694498
"Remem8er" was so incoherent I can't believe it actually addresses anything, more like it possibly maybe sets up for stuff to get addressed later if Hussie feels like it.
>>
>>81694474
I mean sure that's great that he realized that, it fulfilled his arc and gave him the Courage to face Lord English. But still cheapened the arc because he didn't really struggle or earn it, he just kinda stumbled onto the realization that he wasn't useless via the Sprite^2's powers. I know that the pacing of these last hundred pages have been rushed and we're fasttracking towards the end but it was still kind of a sloppy cleanup for that thread.

But I suppose Davepta was mainly setup for the joke that was his reunion with AR. That's why we didn't get an entire setup segment like Dave and Dirk did.
>>
>>81693435

Gamzee has always been pretty much the same

>>81693435

I wouldn't say that, though she did magically fix everything by her sheer presence and that's pretty bullshit.

But yeah. Vriska is here for Hussie to experiment and troll his fanbase.
And since this is Hussie we're talking about he can't tell when he's taking a meme too far.
Nothing too surprising.
>>
>>81694514
The problem with the themes of the last Arc is, while repeated, they aren't pushed upfront and shoved thoroughly, we get them way too dispersed.

Davepeta's Lesson, Terezi's "Remem8er" Flash, Vriska's self-tirade, they're all part of the "Everyone's super important and plays a part even dead timeline dudes and other losers we don't get to see or hear from" spiel that insists the integrity of a character's persona is in multiple, and not confined to a single instance.

It just gets lost too easily in everything else he's trying to wrap up. Maybe he intended it that way as not to be heavy-handed, I don't know.
>>
>>81694521
>he didn't really struggle or earn it, he just kinda stumbled onto the realization that he wasn't useless via the Sprite^2's powers.
Yeah but in the end Davesprite is a relatively minor character so he's not going to get the same kind of focus as Dave or Dirk.
>>
>>81694313

The only things she fixed were the plot drawls, cause the meteor crew were wieners and couldn't take out Jade and Jane as quickly as she did.

I'm sure that was also part of the intended effect.
Giving him too much attention or development would hinge away from the angst he has about being minor and underdevelopment. So he's given a rather Static Arc at best.

And stupid shit like everyone's personal problems. It's incredibly annoying that she's the one who stops Rose drinking.

I think as dumb as that was, these overall weren't the "Biggest issues" in the story and reason they were Vriska'd was because we were fast tracking towards the end onto bigger and better things. So we could move towards a comic about defeating Cake Sea-Witches and saving ghosts from skull monsters, instead of more sensible arcs such as overcoming Alcoholism and whatnot.

Afterall wasn't Roxy forced to quit drinking by Circumstances too? The plot just moved them forward, often like how life does intervene.

Then Hussie shouldn't have written them in there, or had them resolved during the meteor trip.

The timeline didn't get ruined due to Rose's alcoholism or just Gamzee, it was a wide range of phenomenon that shit in the pot and those were the tip of the iceberg on the problems that doomed the session. All Vriska did was clean up some superficial clutter.

I really couldn't see her dealing with Aranea or )(ic fighting and rampaging through the session, hurling planets like in [S] Gameover. Nothing she did on the meteor could've helped that.

If the clutter is superficial, then it shouldn't have been there in the first place, presented as non-superficial. Because I have no reason to think of it as "superficial clutter". It's JUST clutter, and no amount of retconning could clean it up, because it's always there, in the story, when you reread the story, you'll have to go through it, and watch it all get resolved in the laziest possible way.

What an obtuse way of thinking. SOME problems are marginal, some are major and some obviously are essential. There are clutters relating to the plot and storytelling overall, and those that are more sub-textual and there to tell a more enriching story, but don't hinder or depend upon it.

The Seers have deep-seated insecurities. Rose because of her mom, Terezi because of herself, ect. That's why that 'clutter' exists, it informs us about the characters, exists as an obstacle to their growth and serves as a minor hiccup in progress. To say "These problems are minor so they shouldn't exist altogether" is asinine and antithetical to Homestuck operates. They were introduced, bludgeoned and then done away with, like most things in life, there's no need to dwell on them at all.

Reading back over Act 6 in the last week or so, it doesn't actually get THAT bad, the story slows but once you get past the Alpha kid Segments it's smooth sailing.

The only reason it seemed so tenuous and drawn out is because it took us 3-4 years to slog through the end. It's like, 66% of the story's running time was used to tell the last third of the story.

If it was done as hastily as the earlier segments that fatigue wouldn't feel as pronounced. But it does read better archival rather than serially.

So here's a thought; We presume that the black hole that came out of Jack Engish's head is somehow linked to Earth, as it drew in most of LoTaK (containing Yaldabaoth), the Crowbar, and Gamzee. If so, what if Spades Slick returns later? He would also have been sucked in, and having survived the destruction of a universe, I don't see any reason why decapitation as a robot should be a reason to count him out.

Hell, he could use Caliborn's exile station later if he wants to show up in the alpha kid session.

This is what I thought when I reread in February.
On my first readthrough I though all the stuff post A6A5 was where it went bad. But really the first part of Act 6 is the worst bit (when it's just alpha kid and romance drama), and it picks up after that.

A6A6I5 is still pretty dull though, but the Vriska stuff is kind of dependant on how her story ends.

The character study is worthless if you're not going to properly address the aspects of the characters that are brought up. "Oh they're insecure" well thanks for letting us know, but if you're going to just retcon those issues away, then so what? It undermines itself.

>>81694972
I feel the Alpha session redux is by far the most obnoxious and unneeded part of the story. Why couldn't he have knocked out the entire session in one long segment like Hivebent? We didn't really need to see how they entered the medium or any of the slow dull introductions like we did. He could've even told them in a series of flashes like A6A4.

For that matter, we didn't really need to see any of the Gameover timeline. Just show [S] Gameover and John zapping in, some vague allusions, then cut to the other timeline that actually matters. It'd make things so much simpler to read through.

Rose didn't "retcon" her insecurity away, the drinking was just an unfortunate side effect. She got over herself when she talked with Roxy and realized they both related to each other over drinking to their dead mums and don't need to compare and feel burdened by their parents anymore. That put a close on the sub Arc for her character and didn't need to be addressed anymore, because it served it's purpose.

>This isn't life, it's a piece of fiction.
>"We don't have character arcs Rose"
Not everything needs a hundred hours of introspection to wrap up, especially for stylized fictional characters. They're not, you know that right? Your entire notion of a symbolic character arc, coded through a cookie cutter narrative is inseparable from your notion that a naive vein of storytelling is the only way to go about things.

The characters are an end to themselves.
Not a means to something higher or another end, or an 'Arc' or whatever. Just them. This is like, Rose's entire pseudo-arc realizing this.

Basically what the hell do you want, Rose to go through a hundred pages of therapy session over her drinking and dead mother?
>>
>>81695137
>Rose didn't "retcon" her insecurity away, the drinking was just an unfortunate side effect.
It pretty much was. Rose had her insecurities, it had its effects, and then the retcon happened, so that all the effects were gone, and the insecurity can be safely wiped away by a single conversation that happens immediately after the retcon.

A character trait doesn't matter when its effects no longer exists.


>"We don't have character arcs Rose"

She got over her drinking. That's it. She never stopped thinking about her mother or anything.

If Vriska hadn't been there she might have had a harder time reconciling with Roxy, assuming she's still drunk, but that's it. There wouldn't be greater story implications. And it would've been cleared out at that either way.

Maybe you were really hungering to see an angsty Drunkd Rose-Roxy convo similar to Dave and Dirks? But that's not what happened and it's not crucial to the plot.

>Anyone using this to excuse Hussie's poor character writing is just being as big a hack as he is.

I see what you mean. According to IPGD he had the End of Act 6 in the work for 3 years now, and apparently has had the ending in mind since the beginning. I think this is a drawback to planning your story non-linearly, he was trying so hard to set up for the ending he had in mind and it dragged on because he was still stumbling to set all the right pieces in place the exact way he wanted, rather then taking the time to let an idea flourish organically.

The ending planned from the beginning might just be something like 'everyone leaves through the door to the new universe', since 'it creates a universe' was basically the only thing about sburb planned from the start.

I feel incredibly guilty for asking this, but since Homestuck will end without ever acknowledging my otp's relationship ever again, would someone do me a favor, and draw Jade and Karkat in the Disciple and Signless's outfits? The dog tier ears should function as Jade's version of the Disciple's horns. I would like to ask for them holding hands and possibly blushing. A sketch is fine and much appreciated; if you decide to add color, the green on the Disciple outfit should change to match Jade's shade, and I would request delicious brown Jade. Finally, I would prefer if they were of equal height or if Jade were slightly taller.

Thank you to anyone who considers filling my last request, and I'm willing to write fic (sadly, no visual artistic talent) in exchange. Again, a sketch is fine; I'm not really expecting anything.

I'm one of those who got into Homestuck FOR the trolls and they were a pretty massive disappointment. I was hoping they were more like the Felt or Midnight crew shenanigans, basically being murderous sociopaths trying to outwit each other and causing chaos everywhere as antagonist.

Instead of turning out to be loud, romance obsessed wienies and crazies.

I got into Homestuck at the end of 2013, shortly after the start of the Gigapause. It was already past its peak in terms of popularity I guess, but I figured it a good moment to read it and finally judge it for myself after treating it with indifference and contempt simply based on hearsay, seeing HSG and reports of an obnoxious fanbase till then.

Back then I thought that the next update would also be my last, according to Hussie. But nope. I got my serial reader experience and the Omegapause.

Vrisrezi red
Jake/Dirk
Jane gets fucked over
Jasprose/Davepeta
Jade/GCTavsprite

epilogue ships:
(Dave)/(Jade)
(Jane)/(Jake)
No Karezi, (Terezi) ships (Karkat) and (Vriska) together

Also Hussie will show several dreambubble ghost couples like an alternative Knight of Blood Karkat with a Feferi, referencing his twitter shitpost for declaring Karkat/Feferi as endgame. Oh, and our boy (Tavros) gets to win the pre-retcon Kanayabowl.

"HS is supposedly a story that is also a game. In games, the characters die all the time. How many times did you let Mario fall in the pit before he saved the princess? Who weeps for these Marios. In games your characters die, but you keep trying and trying and rebooting and resetting until finally they make it. When you play a game this process is all very impersonal. Once you finally win, when all is said and done those deaths didn’t “count”, only the linear path of the final victorious version of the character is considered “real”. Mario never actually died, did he? Except the omniscient player knows better. HS seems to combine all the meaningless deaths of a trial-and-error game journey with the way death is treated dramatically in other media, where unlike our oblivious Mario, the characters are aware and afraid of the many deaths they must experience before finally winning the game."

He means he likes to kill off his characters and replace them with near-identical clones, and that we aren't actually supposed to care about them.
>>
One problem with the "villain" trolls was that I didn't really see them as these really REALLY evil people. Both Gamzee and Eridan just seemed manipulated. Even Eridan didn't really FEEL like Hitler reborn who wishes to kill all landwellers and when he was, it just felt like a joke. The tone is too silly and ligh hearted in places, we got Rose talking to Gamzee after he killed people and took their bodies and while he seemed crazy, I didn't really get the feeling that "oh damn this dude is evil, he wishes that everyone would just die and doesnt even regret killing his friends at all!". He just seemed tired and I could easily see him being sorry if confronted. Equius getting strangled just felt like he was, like, killed. Instead of this disgustisting asphyxiation fetish creep death Hussie kept talking about. The only one I really hated for doing what they did was Vriska because she acted rude, was an asshole and a bully. I didn't see Gamzee laughing about fooling everyone and shit talking karkat for trusting him and being pathetic failure so I just got the vibe he wasn't in his right mind.
