So now that the dust has settled can we agree that the ending was fucking garbo?
it wasnt the ending but yeah sure
Can't we just talk about metastuck instead?
SIGN MY PETITION TO FORCE ANDREW HUSSIE TO HOLD A TOWN HALL Q&A WITH THE HOMESTUCK COMMUNITY TO CLEAR UP HIS STANCE ON THE ENDING OF HOMESTUCK AND HIS CONTEMPT FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUPPORTED HIM ALL THESE YEARS

>Tfw the wrong person ended on this hospital bed
>TFW you have to go to /rwbyg/ to get your /HST/ fix
It's been a whole 2 days and I still can't fucking believe it.
Hiveswap looks like garbage but I thought i'd still buy it and play it out of respect for Hussie
But after this I just don't know
And people are defending it all over tumblr and reddit and the video is full of likes so Hussie will never get the message that it was garbage so we can expect to never see an Act 8 or "End of Homestuck" animation in the future
I can't even listen to Homestuck music anymore
I legitimately feel like I just had a bad breakup with a girl.
>>81841232
At least you're not alone. I was just making that comparison the other day. There's not a single justification for what he did.
>>81841159
>Not making /hsg/ great again in the /trash/ where it belongs
>>81841159
What?
Which would you have prefered: Act 7, or Hussie going, "you know what? I'm really tired of all this and don't really know how to end things, so I'm not gonna"
I would have liked some dialogue at the end
>tfw Aradia did nothing in the last flash but look at the blackhole
>>81841232
> Hussie will never get the message that it was garbage
I believe this is why mspaf died before the last updates. Besides ipgd visited here on 4/13 so its unlikely he doesn't know our reaction.
>>81841444
Still probably Act 7.
>>81841455
Maybe we'll see her on the epilogue.
Alongside fucking everyone else, right?
right?
The funny thing is, the ending's biggest problems—at least, the things that are upsetting the most people about the ending—would have been very easy to fix.
>throw in a shot of the kids coming out of the juju
>shop a few more characters into the background of can town
>maybe move the can town stuff to the very end of the flash, ending he comic on a more happy, less mysterious note
And boom, decent ending.
>>81841444
Wasn't the ending vague enough?
>>81841479
>Aradia fucking everyone else
So now knowing the ending, would you recommend a person to read Homestuck?
>>81841552
No, and I say that as someone who sees a lot of good in Act 6.
A shitty ending is a shitty ending.
>>81841552
I'd probably recommend it up to act 5, and if they really are desperate to see it end, then to continue on through the bullshit that is act 6
>>81841552
Fuck no. The best parts of Homestuck are the first half and the fandom and update experience
Anyone new already misses half of that and just has to dredge through the meh second half and awful post-game over bits on archive
At the most I'd tell them to stop at Cascade or Caliborn: Enter to save themselves the suffering.
>>81841552
maybe up to cascade
>>81841552
The answer hasn't changed with the ending: I'd recommend Problem Sleuth.
>>81841552
For sure. The comic was great for the most part, and even if it didn't end on a high note, it was still quite a ride. Besides, we can always hope for an epilogue.
>>81841552
I'd recommend they read it until they hate it
>>81841552
yes very much so, sure the ending sucked but the rest of it was very good, Act 6 not as much as the rest but really its a terrific ad I personally plan to reread it now in its entirety
>MFW HUSSIE LITERALLY RUINED A LITTLE GIRL'S LIFE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYAkfYIBASE
So how long do the troll have before they die of old age?
>>81841552
No. Maybe read acts 1-5 for those who like worldbuilding but A6 is only a product of its time.
>>81841552
"It's got some good parts but the ending is a big fancy fuck you to the reader."
>>81841552
no because that means they will find out that I read this garbage
>>81841630
Karkat dies in 5 years from right now.
>>81841630

>>81841599
Caliborn: Enter and the flashes preceding it were unquestionably the high point of Act 6
Where did it all go so wrong?
>>81841630
>Karkat
With his blood pressure 40 or 50 tops
>Kanaya
Like 200? Maybe?
>>81840839
so are we gonna go bandwagon Questionable Content now or what? I need a new webcomic
>>81841679
>>81841630
Can't Life players extend a trolls lifespan?
The Condesce extended the Helmsmans lifespan to her own length
>>81841705
>go bandwagon Questionable Content
I might be a HSG shitposter, but I'm not retarded.
>>81841630
Depends on their blood color.
Karkat's got the least amount of time left and Vriska's got the most.
Karkat's lifespan is probably similar to a human's, so he's got somewhere around 64 years left.
>>81841692
I stand by the fact that I really like Game Over
But Act 6 was ruined by the retcon, Jane being useless, nothing coming of the mind control subplot, and pretty much everything after Game Over
Though I also like REMEM8ER, I know it shouldn't exist because it's pointless
>>81841705
I'd rather fucking die.
>>81841745
Don't forget the tricksters, unless you just categorized that under Jane being fucking useless.
>>81841745
What's really funny is Hussie could legitimately fix it if he turned around and said that Act 7 was Caliborn's creation, that Vriska's plan to defeat lord english fails miserably, and that the Condesce didn't fucking die and steals their universe right before John grabs the knob
Hussie perfectly set Act 7 up to continue to story
>>81841705
We've all moved on to Steven Universe anon.
>>81841737
nah you'd fit right in
>>81841552
Before act 7, if I recommended Homestuck to anyone, it came with a laundry list of caveats. Like
>it's really long
>and the beginning is slow
>and act 6 is a drag
Now it's the same. There's just one more caveat in the list:
>the ending sucks
>>81840839
Tumblr's "tan" (they don't really call it that but that's what it is) doesn't look like that. She has long hair, an ahoge, and a Doctor Who scarf.
>>81841789
>the tranny has a septum piercing now
get that shit away
>>81841806
different character
IT STILL HURTS
I JUST WANT HUSSIE TO EXPLAIN WHY HE DID WHAT HE DID
>>81841705
You could bandwagon It Hurts if you're hungry for more Kids and Fun.
>>81841705
>tfw will never get homestuck level of fandom to read my comic
I want to see shitty teens cosplaying my characters and ruining anime cons
>>81841778
>>81841781
Okay straight up the Trickster Mode arc is the nadir of Homestuck's quality and we should never mention it again
>>81841721
Condesce is not a Sburb player though, probably a queen thing.
>>81841630
I think both Karkat and Kanaya are able to live until around a century or so.
>>81841690
The remaining trolls aren't players nor god-tier, so I would say otherwise.
>>81841705
How about we bandwagon on a good webcomic, like Kill Six Billion Demons.
>>81841841
Evidence shows that guardians/ancestors still have (some) access to their sburb powers.
>>81841824
Epilogue """soon™"":^)"
>>81841824
Try rereading the lilypad convo to the end, it ends up feeling a lot better. I'm happy with it, too abrupt, but it's good.
>>81841552
reading it as a finished work, and a static work without the aura of fans, would be VERY different from reading it while it was a living growing document with a huge ecosystem of enthusiasts.
I'll have to answer that question after I've read it again as a static work. If someone asks me tomorrow and needs an answer right away, I'll tell them "read Problem Sleuth, and if it is up your alley, Homestuck will give you a lot more, more than you can eat."
>>81841850
Well Kanaya could still converse with Echidna
>>81841781
>Hussie perfectly set Act 7 up to continue to story
>implying that wasn't 100% intentional on Hussie's part
He probably told the animator "Don't show Lord English dying or John actually opening the door"
>>81841630
Like any other human I know there's a comic showing this
>>81841789
QC threads are just people looking for something to shit upon en masse loooong after everyone else stopped giving a fuck just so they can feel better about themselves. The comic is just pretty much the definition of mediocrity, definitely not the worst webcomic in the world, and definitely not something that really requires that much attention as an object of ridicule. At this point QC threads are just an elaborate form of Baneposting.
>>81841552
Yes. Serial art is different entirely from traditional works.
No guys I get it, I know what's gonna happen. This is the good ending, you see how in games there's is always a good and a bad ending and then a true ending you get for doing some specific shit? Well, with retcon powers you can go back to an earlier save state and do the several conditions you needed like.
>All patron trolls alive
>Juju acquired
>Soul English loop completed
>The English Hope field skill acquired
And then you get the true ending where you get to fight the true final boss instead of the whole boss rush we saw.
Yes, I am this delusional
>>81841880
what vid is this from again
>>81841824
He planned that ending/commissioned Guzusuru over 4 years ago. He then proceeded to be a fucking pandering idiot and insert more characters for tumblr to ship and buy merch of. By the time we got to today, Hussie already knew he fucked up. Instead of going full panic, he simply pushed on because he knows that he no longer cares about the comic anymore.
>>81841863
Where?
>>81841900
Hussie storyboarded the animation so he didn't really need to tell her anything beyond what was shown in his boards.
My current conspiracy theory is that nobody is in on the ruse except him and ipgd.
>>81841455
it wasn't just a black hole, it was a black hole tearing apart space itself, leaving behind an eerie blankness.the off-white of mspaintadventures.com. she made it out, anon. go find her.
>>81841832
I'll bite the bullet and ask.
What's your comic?
>>81841552
Yeah I still would.
Even if it went downhill in act 6, acts 1-4, the intermission, and some parts of act 5 were great.
>>81841956
-Condesce extending the lifespan of the Helmsman
-The Sufferer using his Seer of Blood powers to see Beforus
-Rose's Mom turning invisible
-Is Nannasprite the only sprite we've seen with healing powers?
Probably some others I'm forgetting
>>81841552
Fuck no.
If I had the chance to go back and do it again myself, I probably would, but I wouldn't wish this shit on someone else.
>>81842001
>and some parts of act 5 were great
Fuck you, all of Act 5 and half of Act 6 is good.
https://youtu.be/Sa8NREI_IPs
>>81842045
act 5 is pretty good imo, especially 5-2
act 6 is a slog with a significantly less good moments than the rest of the comic, which is shitty because it's half the fucking comic
>>81841627
>Wow, it's giant, it's supposed to be this big?
>>81841552
No. It was best to read it in 2011-2013. Reading it without someone to discuss it with would be boring. Pesterchum, roleplaying blogs, and the dumb animations on youtube was part of the fun. Reading it on its own is kind of boring and time consuming when now no one wants to admit they read this garbage therefore no one to talk to about it. Homestuck wasn't a comic, it was an experience.
>>81842045
The only parts of act 6 that are good are the parts where Caliborn is talking, on screen, or doing something
>>81841778
>>81841835
Am I really alone in finding the Trickster Arc to be essentially the ONLY redeemable thing the alpha kids did (plus some dirk/ar stuff)? it was borderline hamfisted narcotics metaphor, which fits the completely-fucking-useless nature of the alpha kids very well.
>>81841444
I'm glad he stuck it out til the end. The flash alone was worth it. I hated pretty much every development for the last three years, but I'm still glad it got a conclusion, shitty as it was.
>>81842026
>-Rose's Mom turning invisible
She never did this. If you mean when she was at the end of the "hall" that was actually a corner, she just went down the adjacent hall.

Seriously, try giving Act 6 a reread, it has a lot of good
Don't read Homestuck but what was the ending and why is it so bad?
>>81842180
I don't know how someone could enjoy that.
homestuck is at least funny and the text walls are at least color coded.
What happened?
>>81842213
I've been rereading the whole comic, I got to Act 6 and am just bored out of my mind.
Too many FEELINGS and PROBLEMS.
@B2haters: stfu roxy is a boss
>>81842213
>, try giving Act 6 a reread
Anon I did a complete reread of the comic and just finished almost exactly two days ago, I'm never rereading this shit.
My opinion that Caliborn is the onnly saving grace of act 6 still stands
dunno about you guys but this was my favourite part of the reaction to act 7
>>81841705
Is this the part where I shill It Hurts!!?
>>81842255
>>81842242
I'm sorry if you have shit taste and don't like Dirk and Roxy, then.
Everything with Jane is retarded, granted.
>>81842220
It ended too soon and left half the comic added in after the retcon or whatever unfinished because there wasn't supposed to be anything after the retcon._
>>81842220
A lot of stuff unresolved
>>81842279
It hurts!! is great, but it isn't really the scope of Homestuck
>>81842320
Questionable Content is?
>>81842279
I gave it the recommended 100 pages and I regret it. Shill something that isn't awful.
>>81842352
How about get some taste that isn't shit?
>>81842242
Glad I'm not the only one. Fucking powered through Homestuck all the way to Act 6 and immediately lost all motivation. Shit, I was even screencapping every page I found interesting or funny, and I was gonna make a "Homestuck: In Retrospect" thread but once Act 6 came around I couldn't find anything worth screencapping. Like I've gotten through a few months worth of updates and I've taken like... five screencaps.
Still gonna probably make that thread come 6/12 though.
>>81842352
Not that anon but bruh, I love It Hurts so much. I dropped it a while after the 2nd apocalypse was supposed to happen because I was busy but still.

I would think it's only a little over the halfway point, but what makes you say that?
>>81842416
I figured that out yesterday, and I've been trying to tell people about it here today. and I've had faggots trying to shout me down. Maybe I should've gotten a tumblr instead.
>>81842273
What was his ending that was apparently so much better than Hussie's?
>>81842248
i swear that mask makes her eyes look retarded
>>81842416
isn't this what everyone understood to be the case, when talking about the house juju? it is literally the comic itself. it's why Caliborn was able to take over, it's why Vriska knew about Hussie trying to delay the reveal.
having this understanding, it doesn't change anything at all about the ending not showing if it actually worked or not.
>>81841444
The ending was so singularly anticlimactic that it wouldn't even have made a difference if he didn't finish it. Which kind of makes what we got the worse of two evils, considering that it renders all the work that was put into it all for naught.
At what point did Act 6 become irredeemable garbage?
>>81842026
Huh, I guess I was wrong. Time for a reread
>>81842573
his ending sucked they all just died
>>81842593
After the retcon, let no faggot tell you otherwise. The quality dipped and rose like a rollercoaster, but it only became "bad" after the retcon.
The worst thing really is that the fucking finale of homestuck was just outsourced fan art. It had none of the impact of Problem Sleuth's ending just because of that. Hussie might as well have had nothing to do with it. It's like those guest pages your webcomic puts up during hiatuses, that make you go "well, that's not very good, but it's a nice homage I guess" and you're always relieved when the actual artist steps in again, but it was the FUCKING FINALE.
>>81842593
People will point to trickster mode and say, "HERE, HERE IS WHERE IT WENT TO SHIT!"
Do not believe these people
Act 6 went to shit the very second that relationship drama was introduced

Basically with Jane's relationship drama at the very beginning. Myststuck is a good landmark for when things get bad.
>>81842635
Didnr trickster arc basically fix everything since after that they just sat in the slabs and most of the drama was fucking gone in a few pages?
>>81842573
they made red dead virgo, the first bloodswap AU as far as I'm aware, i forget most of the details but i think the session is scratched and the trolls become the canon versions we see in hivebent
I mean if your goal is to incorporate your fanfic into canon, that's a solid way to do it, but really I just like the fact they came back to post after such a long time
>>81842593
I maintain Vriska was a great character up until this point. Homestuck always had dips in quality, but this is one it never recovered from with nonstop bad ideas with bad execution and bad character development.
>>81842593
I personally felt the decline when the retcon happened, but a lot were unhappy from the start of the relationship drama with the b2 gang.

this. myststuck was just plain bad it was bad the day it released and is still bad. IMO probably the moment most people first say 'this is boring' about Act 6. some of the meenah walkabouts got similarly 'slogging', as well. i think these bad, boring interactive portions are what really drag down Act 6.
Oh wow, I just realized something. All of the trolls that were Prospit dreamers lived until the end and all of the trolls that were Derse dreamers either died or will likely die in the epilogue.
What is the timeline of events, I need an updated chart here.
>>81842593
Homestuck became irredeemable garbage once grist stopped being a thing. Prove me wrong.
>>81842731
No I mean in the sense they actually talked to eachother after the trickstershit and stopped being fucking pussies long enough to say "we could have just talked to eachother all along" and after that the action happened
>>81842757
They're just so far in denial that they reached the other side, anon
Do not hate them, merely pity them
>>81842593
Pretty much right at the beginning. Hussie established very early on that the beta kid's dynamic was far different from the "snarky cooperation" that we knew and love from the alphas.
For whatever reason, he seemed to think that we wanted to see drama from characters who more or less hadn't been established at all. Like, the reason people tolerated/enjoyed a lot of the drama in Act 5 was because we had grown to love these characters, while in Act 6 the drama WAS the characters, they were inseparable, every character development was just another deliberate route to more drama.
>>81842770
No, myststuck was good (minus the chewing sounds). It's basically where you realize that the story is more interesting than the current characters.
>>81842593
act 6 became bad during act 5
>>81842631
It's strange. I absolutely loathe everything that happened after the retcon, but the entire retcon quest itself was gold to me. Watching John, as a pissed off late endgame player warp into earlier points in the story and change them when he only wants to go back and spend time with Roxy was entertaining as fuck.
>>81842720
there should be a recommended pastebin of fics, but i don't have it personally
>>81842674
>>81842770
Meh, I liked Myststuck. In comparison to the rest of Act 6 (before we cut back to the meteor/ship), it was pretty enjoyable. A lot better than the relationship shit.
>>81842169
No, she magically appears behind Rose in the kitchen, and Rose comments how she "always does that"
>>81842851
>minus the chewing sounds

Homestuck became a story about a boy and his waifu/girl and her husbando and I have zero problem with it
>>81842875
Fuck
Well I saw something named serendipity gospels here and checked it out so I knoe where to find that
Is there anything on that nepeta.mozai site?
>>81842593
When the retcon happened. Or rather: when Hussie decided to add more shit AFTER he already decided on the ending.
Vriska concludes her character arc but NO, we need her back because her annoying presence makes things better somehow because everyone else is just not enough obsessed with winning to come up with a plan to beat LE and cohorts and also the only troll who has the skill to OPEN A FUCKING CHEST.
When you could have just had (Vriska) do it in the last moment or whatever.
Can you guys smell what Hussie's cooking?
>>81842864
Same with me, the quest itself was fun it was the payoff that sucked.
>>81841552
no, even when it wasn't over

>>81842979
What even is serendipity gospels, I read something about being associated with "trinitystuck AU" but couldnt find anything about that
>>81842972
man, Equius' design is really wasted on a character that has no relevancy in the long run of the comic. I really liked his shorts and pinstriped leggings combo. Same with Horuss too; a good design on a pointless character.
>>81842912
If anyone around me chews food with their mouth open, smacks their lips, or breathes through their mouth while eating, I will physically assault them. It's the only thing I sperg out over.
>>81842220
OK so here's what happened.
Homestuck is a sprawling run-away narrative. A tangled webs of callbacks and convolutions, weird time travel shit, and bootstrap paradoxes. It was never the kind of thing that was going to have all of its threads resolved and never was going to be an ending that satisfied the explosive exposition. In number of unstructured words whose count rivals entire popular authors' collective works, someone's always going to find a new foreshadowing moment that never came to fruition or a plot whole that has to be hand waved away.
But that wasn't the problem.
The problem is that 2 years into the project, Hussie said "this is kind of blowing out of control and I really want to start moving towards an ending." But instead things got more out of control. Then 3 years in, "OK I really don't want to be doing this for much longer so I'm going to story board an ending and try to work to it." But things got more out of control. So 3.5 years into the project Hussie said "OK I'm going to stop all updates so I can plan out all the steps to the end and prepare it all so I can release it in pretty quick succession. Oh and I'm also going to start a kickstarter for a Homestuck themed base that HOLY FUCK 2.5 MILLION DOLLARS." So about six months pass, everything all hush hush. Fans are expecting Hussie to be hard at work tying up Homestuck but in reality he's getting his money stolen by the people he hired to make the game, giving the elaborate ending animation that was destined to take 3.5 years to finish the go-ahead, and other shit.
The rest kind of writes itself and I really don't remember all that happened in those 3.5 years that were mostly pauses and stuff that didn't matter because the ending was already set in stone. But in those 3.5 years, the Homestuck fandom deflated and when the ending finally came, those who stayed were disappointed in how disconnected the ending felt from everything that had happened up until it.
>>81842979
There's a lot of good ones but they're mostly just post-SBURB AUs or whatever where they're happy and cute. Not much drama or plot or anything like that.

trolls never play sburb, terezi and gamzee get stuck on the same fleet to become executioners
gamzee stops taking sopor, shenanigans ensue, they also fuck
>>81843091
Dont care, where can find
>>81843065
Horuss and Not-Terezi had godtier costumes. Too bad I can't remember neither of their names.
>>81843060
Gamrezi smutfic that takes place if the trolls never played SBURB. Artwork by the one and only 25$helby. Proceed with caution.
right now, we're all in different stages of grief. how long until we all reach acceptance?

I know his hair is supposed to be chin length (MAYBE shoulder length) like that, but before all the fanart I always imagined him with really long hair
>>81843091
any good ones where they're gods and do mythological shit?
any good davejade baby fics
>>81843065
>The tank top is meant to foreshadow the suspender straps
>>81843065
All the trolls were wasted, so goddam sad FUCK
how does /hst/ fit into metastuck compared to hsg.
>>81841455i'd let aradia look at my blackhole
>>81843145
I accepted it before I even saw the finale.
It was a dumb series for dumb people. Nothing to see here
>>81843145
Either when Hussie makes the epilogue or dies. Whichever comes first.
>>81843149
It's supposed to mimic the leather or chainmail cowls worn by archers.
>>81843181
post-scratch version
>>81843145
I'm almost there, just if Hussie can do the epilogue right.

/hst/ is the old and busted empty husk of hsg who basically has to walk around in disguise to avoid getting banned.
>>81843145
You JUST started grieving Homestuck's death? Man, I reached acceptance like two years ago. Hats off to you, overly loyal fans. You would make very good dogs and a very best friends.
>>81843065
>and pinstriped leggings
I thought they were just long wool socks

How much foreshadowing was there that Equius and AR were Doc Scratch?
>>81843152
Like them as babies or what?
>>81843262
haha wwhat a faggot
>>81843145
I hope Hussie gets his arse to Mars and has the epilogue done by June 12th.
>>81843181
A well-meaning prodigy who first attempts to imitate the former but later chooses to forge his own path.
HST is the Raiden to HSG's Snake.
>>81843145
I kinda accepted it once I remembered that the point of Homestuck was to get unstuck from "home" and we kind of got that. Still sucked though.
>>81841705
I mean, if you want GOOD webcomics:
Achewood (it started updating again!)
Nedroid
Wonderella
Whomp!
Gunnerkrigg
Paranatural (when Zak isn't being progressive)
>>81842851
>>81842912
>>81843067
Blame the guy who made the Rain track on the Sburb album. Also, why was that album's songs shuffled out of order?
>>81843222
so /hst/ is Dirk to /hsg/'s Dave?
>>81843275
Them as parents, taking care of cute fuzzy babies
>>81843285
who?
>>81843316
>Whomp!
>Good
Hoo boy! Can't wait for the next "Ronnie is pathetic" joke!
>>81843316
>Whomp
>Wonderella
>>81842416
>What an appropriate way to defeat an undefeatable villain in a comic where fourth wall breaking and metacanonical interactions with the main narrative are such an integral plot device.
What people dont get is there WERE better ways to beat english instead of "3meta4u". It felt like someone made a really good painting but gave up in the middle, peed on it and claimed as art. And mind you, I have a boner for meta stuff like OFF and undertale but this felt just bland.
>>81843285
He was wrong
>>81843316
don't forget unsounded
>>81843379
it was about the most meta way to kill LE without turning the comic into a videogame
>>81843316
Paranatural's gotten pretty stale, and while I recognize that some people really love Whomp! and its creator, it's gotten old, at least for me.
>>81843327
There's not really a tag you can search for
i just need to know who is dead and who is alive
>>81843145
I'M STILL IN ANGER THAT FUCKING HUSSIE MURDERED MY GRANDFATHER!
>LOL HE ENTERED THE TOWER SHOUTING PEOPLE'S NAMES
AND THEN HE HAS THE AUDACITY TO BERATE YOU FOR WANTING A SATISFYING CONCLUSION AND WANTING TO KNOW WHAT WAS SO IMPORTANT AND INTERESTING INSIDE. FUCKING BELITTLING YOU FOR HAVING CURIOSITY AND SPOUTING SOME BULLSHIT ABOUT HOW
>THE JOURNEY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE DESTINATION
WELL GUESS WHAT?!
YOU'RE FUCKING WRONG AND EVERYONE WHO THINKS LIKE THAT IS WRONG! THE POINT OF A JOURNEY IS TO GET TO A DESTINATION YOU WANTED BECAUSE THEN YOU WOULDN'T UNDERTAKE THE JOURNEY IN THE FIRST PLACE!
IF I FOLLOWED THAT LOGIC THEN MY GRANDFATHER WOULD'VE DIED MUCH EARLIER BECAUSE I WOULD'VE GONE FOR HIS INSULIN BUT INSTEAD OF GETTING TO THE PHARMACY, I WOULD'VE MET INTERESTING PEOPLE, AND HAD TEENAGE DRAMA PROBLEMS AND MAYBE GOT INTO A FIGHT, AND NEVER MADE IT TO MY DESTINATION, AND COME BACK A WISER MAN.
BUT GUESS WHAT?!
MY FUCKING GRANDFATHER WOULD'VE BEEN STILL DEAD BECAUSE I NEVER MADE IT TO MY FUCKING DESTINATION!
SO YES, I AM COMPARING THIS SHIT TO MY GRANDFATHER DYING BECAUSE IT'S METAPHORICALLY THE SAME THING. AND YOU'RE A PIECE OF SHIT IF YOU SUPPORT THIS.
The only thing. THE ONLY FUCKING THING that makes this all better is that I only joined the bandwagon a month ago. If I had invested more time in this, I would've felt bad. Now, NOW I can just go on with my life. But I feel so bad for other people, who ARE actually invested in this.
SON OF A MOTHERFUCKING FUCK I AM STILL FURIOUS!
IT'S NEVER BEEN ABOUT THE JOURNEY! IF YOU'RE DOING A FUCKING STORY IS DAMN BETTER WELL HAVE A FUCKING ENDING.
I FUCKING HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE AUTHORS THAT DO THIS.
HATE.

That doesn't make the retcon any better or justified.

>>81843372
>>81843430
Okay, yeah, to be fair, Whomp! is getting to be a bit of a one-trick pony. But I still check it in case he does something fantastic like his last Halloween arc.
In completely unrelated news, I want to read/see Terezi and Equius fucking. How do I do this?
>>81843467
(You)
>>81843206
yellow trolls were the best
>>81843316
>>81841705
There are a few decent ones on Tapastic too:
Countdown to Countdown
Rest In Flames
SIGNS
Treehouse
although some of these update really slowly.
I think Devil's Candy is good Hiveworks one also.
>>81843495
I'm not spongefan, whoever the fuck that is, I'm the guy that was reading the comic solely for Caliborn and LE.
>>81842416
>Here’s my hypothesis. The weapon/treasure juju does not have three different abilities, it has one. We’ve been seeing it as 1. being able to trap four souls, 2. being able to impart retcon abilities, and 3. having an offensive ability to be used against Lord English. In reality, these are all one ability! The ability to act as a gateway to the Homestuck canon!
>Caliborn did not seal the four kids within the juju! He sealed them within Homestuck. This is why the comic is called “Homestuck”! The kids are literally trapped within the narrative by the power of the juju. But, this power is also how Lord English is eventually defeated! Here is what happens in the [S] Act 7 flash.
Sounds like an explanation for something made up way after the fact.
>The Juju: it does whatever it needs to do!
>>81843511
man that pairing wasn't even popular in hivebent
>>81843518
I related the most to Sollux because I'd be just as apathetic in his situation. Also fuck Eridan.
>>81843456
There's gotta be stuff with Dave struggling to be a good parent.
I read alcoholic dave stuff with babies years ago, but i need fresh stuff.
>This is what Homestuck means. The clue was hidden in the name all along. This was a story about four kids who had literally been trapped inside their own story, and escaped it, trapping their unkillable villain inside it as it ended, meaning that he could spread his destruction no further.
Really?
>>81843407
I read homestuck for the god-tier early dialogue and SBURB, a videogame ending would be satisfying
Guess i wasted my time then.
>>81843543
I don't care. I like them because they're both LN, and pretty awesome. While it would be dating down the spectrum for Equius, he'd probably appreciate Terezi's trollboner for enforcing the law.
i cant believe i got Page of Space on the 3 question quiz
when do i kill myself
Ok, so Act 6 sucked ass.
What was the best part of it?
>>81843598
i paired them in my bloodswap but besides that you're shit outta luck
>>81843610
The parts with Caliborn.
>>81840955
It is. The fact that there's an epilogue coming doesn't mean it isn't the ending.
>>81843610
Act 6 made every character so bad that I was rooting for Caliborn to win ever since.
>>81843610
Caliborn, Roxy, Dirk and [s] Collide
>Act 8
>Oh it's cool Lord English is dead now
>The crew from Remem8er show up (the first/retcon murderstuck ghosts whichever makes most sense)
>They all fudge their way back to life and join up with everybody in the new universe somehow
>MY GOD, THE SHIPPING
>>81843610
I literally don't remember any of it except the page I joined the comic during.
>>81843121

This one's an AU where all the kids end up on the meteor rather than just Rose and Dave. Terezi and Dave periodically vandalize Rose's novel, then shit gets sexy at the end and cuts off.
There was another one where Dave and Terezi take Jade, Roxy, Kanaya, and Sollux on a road trip, but I lost it.
Everything else I got is pretty solidly Daverezi fluff.
