every character is a mary sue. complex personal issues were a mistake
>>
>>84511179
The latter, but she wasn't written particularly well for a main character, given her main personality flaw is just suddenly gone and her secondary flaw is glossed over. Despite that it's more a case of lost potential rather than mary suedom. She was still an enjoyable character who added positively to the story, she just featured heavily at a time when the previously interesting characters started to become much less interesting due to the aforementioned poor writing from Hussie.

John is the worst character of all. The only quest that was actually personal for him, and had real emotional impact on him, was the idea that he'd face JACK.

Hussie saw this problem and tried to do some kind of beef with Caliborn and John but it was conjured out of thin air over fucking nothing and fell flat.
>>
>>84512169
By the end of the story, there was absolutely obligation to actually care about any characters. Nobody had an actual solid personality and and trace of a personality had no affect on their actions.

John was the worst with this though

all of the best parts of homestuck were about as rushed as anything could possibly be. how the fuck could rushing be a problem in the context of homestuck. this comic is built on rush. slap it together, upload it, and don't lose momentum. acts 1-4 were rushed. act 5.2 was rushed. the ending isnt rushed it just fucking sucks.

the whole purpose of the squared sprites was to justify dropping the pre-retcon character arcs

The latter.

She was a decent character on the top of a pile filled with shitty characters.
The Alpha kids(except Roxy) and pre-scratch trolls were shit.
The Beta kids were once good but became shit.
Cherubs were more so plot devices than they were characters.

>Implying Dirk wasn't the best Alpha kid.
The Alpha kid felts so muddled and lacking in characterization; Jane, Jake, and Roxy just kind of blur together with all of the characters (especially the original kids) in the story with their traits. Dirk was the only one who felt unique, new, and interesting.

It's OK if you like Roxy, it's bad if you think she's a good character. Pre-scratch is probably the exact opposite. Good characters and concepts but horribly wasted.

This mindset always baffles me. I won't touch 'that's what fiction's about" or the whole sexism element, but still. Sure thing, there's nothing bad about power fantasy characters, but execution remains key.

A good power fantasy character respects suspension of disbelief. A bad power fantasy character breaks it for the sake of easy writing. That's how Mary Sues are born.

A Mary Sue character is insufferable because it isn't believable. Its flaws are either nonexistent or informed - mentioned in passing. And what reader can empathize with that?

If your character hops over every obstacles with but an afterthought, the power fantasy is worth nothing. It will help no one but the writer, because it's not even a story, it's intellectual masturbation. And no one likes to see a writer jerk off, except maybe one or two guys who are specifically into whatever is being jerked off to. But that's it. Nobody else will be here once you've reached the last page.

Mary Sues get everything on a silver platter. Why? Because the WRITER themselves wants the power fantasy story handed to them on a silver platter. They're lazy, they don't want to write. They want the power fantasy to write itself, for their personal satisfaction.

And that's how you get the Mary Sue: a half-baked character made to cater purely to the writer, who, being lazy, doesn't feel like working on a real story that respects suspension of disbelief and can be enjoyed by other reader.

tl;dr no buddy, you're not being groundbreaking, you're being lazy and you need to stop.

I saw an entire alternate timeline story playing to it where shit didn't suck it was pretty cool

Hussie should just give up on his wreck of a life and start taking shitloads of drugs and start all over as an artist

Homestuck is a collection of concepts Hussie likes or found funny
even the characters are molded that way, seeing how characters are barely characters, but more like what their class and aspect tells them what they're gonna be like

i guess it's really the only way Homestuck can be like seeing how Hussie constantly updated, and usually only went on hiatuses for business stuff or to finish a long flash

Homestuck just didn't have the time to really make sure things would be consistent, he's pretty much used homestuck to give all his ideas and fantasies

whatever can be said, Hussie is at the very least creative

Hussie learned, over 7 years, what happens when you cry wolf too often!

Reminder that Hussie is a fucking idiot with no idea what he's doing, and an unprofessional nobody with an actual career would be caught dead working with.
>>
>>84519646
>Hussie is at the very least creative
He really is. Nobody should say otherwise. All of this "hussie is shit" crap is really unfounded.
>>
>>84519691
storywriting is 1% ideas and 99% execution
yes hussie is creative but that literally counts for nothing
>>
>>84519712
The execution was pretty good..... for awhile.......
>>
>>84519578
I'm using (beta) and it's still about 18 seconds shorter than the song and its still slightly shorter than the flash even if you cut out the Squiddles. Just saying.
>>
>>84519691
hussie is like a fucking volcano of creativity. most other successful writers are like forges. hot enough to get the job done, and you can use it to make something you can actually use. volcanos are just fire. totally out of control, melting shit and killing people. despite that, i prefer hussie, because id rather someone try to do something amazing than succeed at doing something boring.
>>

Roxy.
>>
>>84519691
execution is just as important if not more than you ideas
being creative is really impressive, since you'd think all the ideas have been done
but with the same old ideas the right execution can make it better than something "original"
>>
>>84519776
well hussie certainly failed to do something amazing, given that the final hour is full of unbearably convenient plot devices and tropes

hussie played the end of homestuck as conventionally as possible, which means that in the end, his volcano was no hotter than a toaster oven
>>
>>84519823
Even the shittiest, original products are usually better than average, boring ones. Usually on pure entertainment value alone.
>>
why does aradia get to go godtier
it's not fair.
>>
i'm not gonna get any upvotes for this but i think the concept and execution were both basically flawless and beyond reproach until act 6, and even then it was hit-and-miss
hussie never planned for homestuck to go on as long as it did, and that becomes extremely apparent at that point
>uh... and then there were, like, some more kids... and some more trolls... and they do... stuff :\

>>84519646
Isn't he also way older than he looks? Like, pushing forty?

>>84519691
Nobody said he's not creative. He just let his creativity run directionlessly until he was able to choose between audiences. He naturally chose the most profitable, which was tumblr, which completely ruined the comic and turned it into a vapid high-school dating sim.

And now he uses seclusion and "irony" to live with the fact that it will always be his legacy.
>>
>>84519879
I think that concept and execution are both essentially good until the retcon, although there is a noticeable muddying of concepts as well as some awkward pacing in act 6

>act 7 was conventional

>its impossible to say for absolute sure the order or meaning of anything that happened in the ending, and that is 'conventional'
part of the reason conventions exist are because they prevent people doing stuff this fucking retarded
>>
>>84519949
ambiguous endings aren't unconventional
if English won, that would be unconventional
>>
>>84519929
>I'm just saying the guy has talent

Talent is fucking worthless if you don't have the professional conduct to do more with it than piss into the wind about how great you are. Fuck talent. I want results, not some mollycoddled daddy money boy telling me he's hot shit on fresh toast because he's oh-so skilled. He lost. His talent is worth *nothing*.
>>
>>84519646
Hussie didn't just come up with good concepts, he executed them well. We definitely gotta give him that. He also had a great narration style and sense of color. The guy earned its cult following, before he threw it all away.

>>84519857
I'd rather read a normal story with a satisfying conclusion than sit through another great work with a shit ending. LOST and ME3 were enough already.

To a point. After a while it sort of became clear that he never really had a plan for dealing with the nihilistic themes in Homestuck, which are pretty fucking significant even before Act 5.
>>
>>84519929
He does. Team Special Olympics was fucking hilarious, because he didn't give a shit about anything or about how anyone would react.

I mean he's nearly fucking FORTY. This is embarrassing shit.

>>84520059
I just think he doesn't really get it or care. He comes across as having a pretty malformed sense of empathy. All of his characters are just blank-faced to every atrocity in a chilling way sometimes.

the most telling thing about the ending is hussie stayed firmly in his ironic horse joke persona, despite what the whole resolution with dave was all about
it just makes it seem like he can't follow his own advice
>>
>>84520059
That's not the only example. The retcon introduces a panoply of plot holes as well as some bizarre character behavior. In Act 6, a lot of game mechanics either break down or become unsatisfyingly convenient, including things like classpect powers, godtier immortality, and the limits of dream bubble influence.

Yeah, Feferi.

Seeing hasbeen artists dickwave like that is lame as hell. I mean his own words ate him, but damn.

>>84520131
what evidence do you have that he's like this in his actual life, though, as opposed to just like, joking around with people taking pictures of him at cons and sometimes posing for ipgd shots
>>
>>84520103
i got the impression that he feels compelled to hide his empathy/true feelings in a similar way to literally every character in homestuck but particularly dave and dirk. so many characters have this exact same issue that it seems pretty improbably at this point that its not some kind of cry for help from andrew

>>84520162
Well, Hussie grew up never working with money and security in a safe little west MA area, I'm not surprised he barely has a grasp on how to express or communicate emotions.
