>>81768922
>What was it that made homestuck so popular?
Early on? The humor, the writing, the novel setting, and the sweeping promise of something more. There was this sense of silly bullshit culminating in a grand adventure. The speed of updates, as someone else mentioned. Byzantine depths of lore, which let people poke and prod and analyze once they were invested. Of course, that's before it really exploded, and it led to...

>>81769131
>But what more?
Okay, you had the trolls, who (much like ponies and Sonic characters) have super simple designs that makes them easy OC bait. Most of those characters were unique, broadening the cast into a literal rainbow of personalities (be they rich joke fodder or actually sympathetic). There was also the shipping, which was really full-on convoluted and mocking-but-earnest, and dropped the "mocking" part as time went on.

So it's a mix of genuine quality and runaway fan-autism, much like any breakout fandom success.
>>
I just watch the last two video for the ending and now I'm wishing I didn't wasted the half an hour.

Anyway my take on the whole thing is that they fix shit and alluded that they are going to fix shit while living on a alt universe with all the chess people, Green skull fag didn't die, the big bad green skull fag got killed off screen, and John finally got to open that door and shit starts over again.

Am I near the point?
>>
>It ran for 7 years; long enough to inspire many artists from novice to professional levels

Holy shit.

Homestuck started at a time that my life was really going downhill and I was feeling especially bad about myself.

And I just realized it's been 7 full years and I'm still a piece of shit and hate myself and have accomplished nothing
>>
>>81768922
I liked the earlier acts because the characters were legitimately charming (now they've become stereotypes of Hussie's own stereotypes, Karkat was extremely boring lately, he had 0 charm and kinda just sat off to the side and did nothing but not even in the charming sat off to the side and did nothing he had throughout act 5.)
Some people joined for the shipping, that was cool I guess. The art was GORGEOUS in the beginning. The ghost artists couldn't even compete late-comic. Especially Rose's world and Dave's.
It was interesting, there was so much going on, so much to speculate on but after all the speculation's done and finished, we're left with nothing new to discuss later except why and what because it's a confusing mess but not an interesting one, a pretty damn annoying one that feels left without any real conclusion.
And man, wasn't it fun on dA to get your old friends together and draw your OCs and make mini fan comics of them but then they all migrated to tumblr and left each other in the dust.

Before John started to reach for the handle you could see Jade holding a sphere that turned out to be a tiny planet that was showing the effects of time shenanigans that restored the Earth to habitable state. Somehow.

Basically fuckery with time and space that restored the Earth's plant life and also, amazingly, the ruined cities. Also Can Town.

Well, if there's any consolation about all this, it'll be that all of the eight kids are still god tier, thus they'll still be immortal and eventually have to face the hardships of seeing the trolls, Dad, and everyone else age and die while they still maintain the universe they created.

Man, it's been a long fucking time.

I used to tripfag here before going over to /tv/. I left after the Gigapause.

I feel kinda sad that I never caught up with it. I had some good memories of updates, and the freakish pace at which cosplay would be made. The whole ordeal got me closer to getting laid than I'd ever gotten, and considering my current situation closer than I'll ever get. I'll never forget how many friendships I ended up forming out of this, how it actually made me do my first cosplay, turned me into a fan.

I feel sorta empty, now. It's been 4 years since I started it, and now it's just...gone.

At least I'll have a bunch to catch up on.

It's got a similar sort of style. Each character has a bunch of concepts attached to them. Like Ava is Rage. Lorey but also visual themed stuff
It's hard to put into words. Also aesthetically pleasing large cast for cosplay and shipping. Epic story with lots of backstory. Bright colors. Sort of an ancestor thing going on with the powerful older entities possessing y he kids. Animations and logos. Lots of little things.

>The Act 7 video was actually LE's retelling of what happened before he killed everyone
>The scenes where everyone was living happily in the new universe and holding hands is actually smut he wrote to prank you
>We don't see the outcome of the LE fight because LE wants to gloat and rub it in our faces that he killed everyone
>the panels show him by himself in the new universe, which is massively shitty
>It turns out that the true alpha timeline is the one in which Caliborn is victorious
>If you want your resolution to happen, check within the multitude of infinite doomed timelines before they taper off into nothingness

Homestuck has inspired me that it's not to late to get into art/writing if I really want to do it, though. I'm 20 and growing up in the age of DA/Tumblr/Conceptart is really demotivating when you see people that are your age or younger with marketable artistic ability.

But Hussie was 29 when he started Homestuck.

I have been throwing myself against the door of Denial for the past few hours.
The moment it snapped, I tumbled in, tripped over the chair of Depression and fell face first onto the ugly, but comfy carpet of Acceptance.

Homestuck was a good, flawed comic by a good, flawed man.
It did a lot of things right and a lot of things wrong.
In the end it was a pretty decent, pretty wild ride.
And sharing this ride with all of you is what made it so great.

Eventually we'll move on and we'll be able to look back on Homestuck and only see the good it brought us.
Life will go on.

It's going to be okay, guys.
Everything is going to be okay.

Undoubtedly. Even if it doesn't have a direct spiritual successor, any creative type who enjoyed it is gonna go on to show its influence in whatever they do. Especially some of the ones who got into it at 13, 14 and got most of their artistic development from fanart/fanfic/RP/what have you. Hell, you can already see it in things. Steven Universe has a TON of HS references. I'm going to art school in the fall for animation, and all of Hussie's stuff has had a profound impact on me artistically.

I'll be honest. I started HS because a friend of mine compared me to Karkat and I had no idea what he meant. So I went along with it and got involved in the fandom as I read it, even had the canon Karkat tag on Pesterchum once.

I was at a bad point, 17 and deeply depressed. I think Homestuck has actively made me into a better person by showing me just how much I hate liberals.

I started HS because a forum for a show I used to go on (dead now, ayylmao) had a group of people who were fans and they also taught me about tumblr and I got a tumblr because of them. We found each other on /co/ like last year after a 3 year break because the site went down and I went to do other stuff on the internet. Now I'm friends with them on skype but skype on Windows 8 is fucking shit and I can't log in.
My Pesterchum, I can't remember it. It was AppociacaAccacciatera or something. Apotheosis Acciaccatera? It had to do with music or something.

Do we know for sure that the others who didn't achieve God Tier status won't be immortal too? Karkat mentioned that, in his session, all 12 of the trolls were going to rule their new universe as gods, and only two of them went God Tier.

Maybe just winning a session and being on that lillypad gives you immortality.

I used to have friends I met through a homestuck RP. Things were alright, but I became further right and they became further left. Eventually it all collapsed and I was thrown out for "starting fights".

And now I'm here, 22 and posting in a comic I actively regret reading from my mother's basement.

I don't even know why I'm blogging. I've been a manchild too long and my life is falling apart. Homestuck having an anticlimactic ending just rubs salt in the wounds. A fitting end to a chapter of my life.

All in all it was a pretty lame way for English to go out, like wasn't he supposed to be only beatable using a glitch? And that's not to mention that it's weird for the Green Sun to even have a timeline that is linked to English. I'm guessing Vriska's Juju somehow linked the death of the Green Sun to Lord English at that moment and place, which is how he lost his powers there.
