You are now Hussie and your goal is to write an alternate ending to Homestuck.
What would you write?
I wouldn't.
I would take the money and run.
Keep it the same, resequence the final flash so the frog and universe comes last. actually have the lord english fight.
the retcon timeline would still be pointless and aranea didn't need to exist, but keep it for posterity.

Anyone have a mega for the Collide album?
So were in this one right
so is this the continuation of the last HS thread? there are two up right now
>>81977769
Yeah, the other thread is basically dead.
>>81977769
this one has more than 0 replies so yes
>>81977750
I have the album give me one second to zip it up.
Last thread died as I was typing.
>>81977347
I'm down with this. As I was re-reading that post I noticed all four trolls are very destructive, in a differing way:
>Gamzee is careless and stoned, and gets friendly with the enemy underlings. He flies into senseless and easily exploited rages.
>Vriska is a flaming egotist who does stuff to pander to her own insecurity. She burns bridges to show off her skills with lighter fluid.
>Sollux is depressed and in denial about his brain problems. He flips his nut and holds grudges.
>Aradia is fatalistic to a suicidal (for a dead person) degree. At the end it is revealed she deliberately sabotaged her session so that team Red could fulfill a paradox and win. This serves as an example to the humans about how NOT to allow a paradox loop to kill everyone
The cool shit pulled off by the Midnight Crew could be referenced again here, only in the past as DD plays Vriska against herself or CD blows up Sollux.
The other one was first so this will *probably* get deleted even if we use it? Capricious fucking mods and all.
>>81977751
Seems like we're motherfuckin entrenched in this bitch
>>81977802
Fuck yes, thanks.
>>81977769
Yes, and that dumbass who thought nihilism was an emotion towards the end of the last thread should leave.
I posted this as evidence for people to determine Jack's motives in the last thread but it got archived pretty quickly afterwards

What will her purpose in the new universe be?
>>81977670
Continue where he fell off.
A few panels on the kids are doing in with their new lives. Create a Flash on the Lord English fight. Some more panels after the Lord English light. A Flash on the Caliborn's defeat.
And that what I got right now.

>The Cairo overcoat represents spacetime
>LE has a fucking BACKUP stashed away
Just another plot point to add on to the millions Hussie forgot about.
>>81977897
PATRICIAN:
Union Jack
PLEB:
Lord Jack
>>81977897
The only two I've seen often are Union Jack and Jack English, with the first being the most common one here.
>>81977897
>Update
He doesn't have an official name, so it's all down to preference. I call him Jack English.
>>81977897
No one calls him Lord Jack, what the fuck.
>>81977670
Here's a question:
Hussie claims that he had the ending and most of the story entirely plotted out from the start. Do you believe him? Do you think the retcon was part of his master plan? It seemed like a big twist.
>>81977923
Who will get Calliope hooked on crack?
>>81977897
Jack English
>>81977964
Oh course not, thats the whole reason the retcon occurred, explicitly because none of that shit mattered at all
>>81977964
I'm pretty sure the retcon wasn't planned from the start, no.
The Frog and English's vague defeat at the very end, yes.
>>81977997
>English's vague defeat at the very end, yes.
he didn't even originally plan for LE to be the main villain
>>81977670
1. Have definitive proof if Lord English is dead or not. None of this abiguous Dark Tower bullshit.
2. Have an epilogue with each of the characters getting their own individual happy ending. Kanaya working with Roxy and getting the Matriorb working, Karkat trying to lead but giving it up and letting the Mayor do it, etc.
3. HAVE DEATH PUT THE HOMESTUCK BOARD GAME BACK ON THE FUCKING SHELF AND PICK UP SOMETHING ELSE HOW DID YOU FORGET THIS HUSSIE YOU FUCKING HACK.
3 easy solutions.
>>81977670
The Lord English fight's conclusion and Sollux actually doing things in said fight.
>>81977964
Somebody call Troll Chris Hansen Meenah's going for the crabdick!
>>81977964
No, the retcon was to force the story to go in the direction of his original ending, rather than rewriting it or making even minor changes.
Truly a hack among hacks.
>Calliopes serious, serious drug addiction
The reason the retcon happened is actually because Vriska was accidentally animated with living eyes and it would have exceeding their budget for the animation to have to edit them on every frame. He was actually really strapped for cash at the time, apparently. Doing much better now.
I don't know if I was supposed to share this, but whatever.
To preface, this isnt bait.
Can someone explain why theres such a huge following for homestuck? Ive checked it out a couple times over the years out of curiosity and ......I don't get it, it looks bad, it doesnt make a hell of alot of sense...
why do you all like it so much?
>>81977483
That is NOT making her sympathic man. A smug little princess who cannot imagine defeat and loses it the moment something, no matter how irrelevant, goes wrong - that is not a heroic characterisation. Caliborn's persistence and resolve is endearing for the exact opposite reason.
If Calliope is interested in "confronting" and "one-upping" Caliborn, a) she is no better than him, b) she has countless other avenues, and c) why isn't beating him at chess the rest of the time enough? How much of a bad loser does someone have to be that after countless wins from day 1, they can't take one loss?
Caliborn literally cannot help being mean and selfish. Calliope, can. That someone who is genetically pre-disposed to good would react that way at all undermines the Calliope-superiority argument well enough.
Regarding death threats. Remember this conversation? Remember the fact that they are kids? Remember that "no-one can ever say a bad word or it's bullying"-isms are dumb?
That Calliope thought she could ever work with Caliborn is endearing, but highlights her delusion. That's an actual example of the two being balanced characters - one's nice, the other's not living a lie.
Calliope has good moments, a lot of potential and was basically necessary for Caliborn. But they are as much on differing levels of characterisation as Terezi and Nepeta.
>>81977964
Lord English was not planned at the start. He had an ending in mind before he began, but we have no clue how much was preserved.
>>81977964
We really need to ask him what he had planned what what was improvised.
>>81978063
I would read a story about Roxy and Calliope helping each other with their respective addictions.
Just finding a story that isn't either gay shit or some dumbass AU is a Herculean task.
>>81978101
Good luck with that. The man has dropped off from the face of the earth.
>>81977750
You could just rip it from youtube
so
anyone rereading aong with the new reader?I had to skip a good chunk of stuff to get to her level, will have to do an actual reread soon
>>81977814
You could have the green team's session going down in flame in another interesting manner, though not to do with Jack this time.
Considering that all four of the trolls in that green team are exceedingly gifted and capable, their demise could come through their own hands in how they interacted with their session's universe and mechanics. You could have them contribute to the downfall of their session individually, having it serve as the example of the importance of teamwork and how certain classpects interact with sburb. For example:
>Vriska is all about finding the optimal way to exploit her luck to win no matter what cost, seen or unseen.
>Sollux with his incredible intellect and extensive capability with computer systems could try to approach sburb looking for exploits to win the day, which I can't imagine the game itself would take kindly to.
>Gamzee is a bard, a mentally addled one to boot. If there's anyone whose going to bring ruin to a session its him as he's surrounded by people who don't know how to handle him.
>Aradia's fixation on death blinds her to the issues her team faces until it's too late. As such she commits to helping the other sessions win, at the cost of her compatriots.
I imagine there could be other interesting ways to handle it, but certainly I would have found that an interesting way to adhere to including all the zodiac signs without a bloated cast and actually influencing the main plot too.
What even happened to the sucker? Are we supposed to just forget about a literal cheating plot device forever along with the Tricksters?
>>81978073
As someone who started reading it yesterday, it starts off really really well.
Its got a very charming feel to it and all of the characters are extremely well written and do a fantastic job of reminding me when I was a lass erping over AIM. Its very much a product of its time frame and so I'm told just kind of swept up the internet zeitgeist.
Also apparently update culture was a thing with updates happening literally every night for years, which is far an above better than most other webcomics even dream of doing
>>81978085
Just the frog stuff, probably.
>>81978073
for a couple years it had a ludicrous update speed whilst still being high quality, it caused a lot of fan content as a result and has been coasting on that ever since
>>81977897
Jack English was the norm, but I've taken to Lord Jack as it's simpler and reminds people that LE is the main bit here.
>>81977928
Nah man, Union Jack was reserved for the treble-Jack theory, where one Jack gets all of the Cuestaff, the ring and LE eyes.Or where the two unused sprites end up absorbing all three Jacks into each other, creating an abomination more interesting than the canon squaresprites
What happened to Jake's hope potential :(
>>81978149
I was re-reading when Act 7 came out. I had just reached the intermission. I no longer have the urge to keep going.
That's right, Act 7 made me not want to read the fucking Intermission. Thanks Hussie.
>>81978194
It happen when he was fighting the Felt, I think....
I don't know.
>>81978194
It beat Caliborn.
>>81978073
Because it was fucking amazing from 2009 to 2011.
>>81978161
It dropped down into the depths of Prospits moon and probably was blown into a billion pieces with the whole place when it blew up.
>>81978073
If you think Homestuck is confusing then you should just forget about it and ignore us forever. You're too stupid to get it, and that's not an insult.
>>81978073
>it doesnt make a hell of alot of sense...
the majority of it does
it just takes some effort to get through it and figure things out
a lot of people agree the the first act is a bit slower and not what people expect when they look at the hype
all i can say is keep readingalso theres music and playable walkarounds and animations throughout. the characters are cool and the dialogue is funny. its fun
>>81978143

>>81978160
Heck, I see this notion as entirely includable to my own. Vriska is determined to show-off while lazily exploiting luck mechanics, Sollux becomes ever more withdrawn in his coding and snaps badly at interference, and Gamzee and Aradia are Gamzee and Aradia.
Meanwhile, the Blue Team are all capable of fighting, but have no organisation or impetus to commit. Equius and Nepeta are too busy influencing each other, Feferi is chasing irrelevant ideals and Eridan rotates between pining after Fef, trying to guilt-trip Nepeta as he was her entry partner, and attempting to invade the other two sessions only to spend his time chasing tail and failing.
Green Team recklessly destroy and are lead to their doom, Blue Team are a passive mess and the MC run rings around them. Vriska can still do stuff in the afterlife if Hussie REALLY wants that, and the Alphas can still be characterised by their shared-Title counterparts (eg Eridan forecasting Dirk's ruthlessness troubles).
>>81978233
What? When?
>>81978194

>tfw newreader is about to get to the best part of the comic
>>81978073
This comic is 7 years old. We grew up with it.
Also I'm sure Homestuck is an acquired taste, much can be said about Hussie's other work, too.
>>81977964
I can believe he had the very broadest strokes in place from the start. I don't think he ever really planned for LE to become such a huge deal or for the Cherub bullshit, which has felt very shoehorned-in from the start.
I think right up to Cascade Hussie thought Act 5 would be the longest by far and Act 6 would be as long as Act 4 (or shorter) and only give the highlights or the alpha kids session, than Act 7 would be an epilogue very much like what we got only with just Bec Noir.
However he didn't want to stop making Homestuck, and there was still consistent readershipand merch sales, so we got the ridiculous mess that is Act 6. Was it worth it? Hard to say. As a work, it probably suffers. However, Caliborn is the best part of the comic.
>>81978529
>Was it worth it? Hard to say
it wasn't worth it
that's pretty easy to say, actually
>>81977670
They should remove 8 of the trolls and leave just 4, keep them behind their screens. Karkat, Terezi, Kanaya, Tavros is all we need.
Should we made a fan animation on how homestuck should had ended?
>>81978526
bullshit humanimals has massive appeal
>>81977997
It was planned atleast 4 years ago, which is more then halfway through the story's running time.
At the start? Probably not.
>>81978037
How did the Dark Tower end? Didn't they kill the Crimson King?
>>81978437
The thing about Pages is that they all accomplish something once left to their own devices.
Grandpa ran off and became an incredible multi-billionaire inventor-cum-explorer.
Tavros organised a ghost army just through nice words and such where Aranea, Vriska and Meenah could merely awkwardly coerce with mind control and threats.
Just a bit of time to his own devices on LoMaX got Jake in a state to take out an armed gang of time travellers mostly alone.
If Darkleer wasn't moody about the Disciple and constantly doing Mindfang's bidding, he could've done all sorts. He might have pioneered Alternian robotics, as there were no mention or sight of them until Mindfang got her prosthetic.
Basically, just leave Pages alone. They don't need Princes and Thiefs mentoring them or trying to control them.
>>81978620
imagine how many years Homestuck would've been going on for if he had the update pace of most regular webcomic artists
>>81978437
B-but your own personal journey doesn't matter, so long as another version of yourself achieved something then that means you had character development because I say so! :33
>>81978685
>cum-explorer
That's Jake alright

Don't forget the sprawling, naive, mismanaged cancer that was the game, including the thievery and his dad dieing. Those are big factors for the senselessness and heel-dragging.

>>81978887
why do you keep saying this?
>>81978661
King (Stephen type) wrote in a new character at the 11th hour to defeat him. Some kid with BS magic powers. TDT is a really good analogy for the rise and fall of Homestuck, honestly.
>>81978389
Exactly what I was thinking as well. You could explore some really interesting dynamics this way, both character and session related. The blue team would be a great example of the whole troll romance dynamic if it still plays a part, given that Nepeta and Equius are the quintessential moiralles and the whole 'pacifying the more dangerous troll' objective would be more apparent given the make up of the team causing Equius to be conflicted at having to work with seadwellers, one of them being Feferi who he'd look up to and the other being a complete warmongering arse in Eridan.
The big question is, how would you have this segmented troll session setup presented to the reader as well as the main cast of characters without being too obtrusive?
Another question you'd have to ask is, how could members of one of the doomed teams sessions have an active influence on the other characters before the dream bubbles, given their late introduction and given how much of an authors pet Vriska is?

>>81978916
Not that anon, but some of their reactions are a little too perfect. Like "I can't wait for Dave and John to hang out!" or "I don't think a 12 candy corn vampire session sounds very interesting." To be fair, that was most people's reactions back in the day, but even by osmosis a regular /co/ or tumblr user who was ever interested in Problem Sleuth would probably know characters don't get to meet up satisfyingly or that Hivebent was a thing.

The kid didn't exactly come out of thin air. He was present at the end of Insomnia and very blatant Dark Tower reference was made. I don't think he was the best way to defeat the Crimson King by any means, but that's the only part I can say that particularly stood out to me in book 7, at least off the top of my head. The ending itself was perfect in my opinion. Just the most brutal thing that could possibly happen to a character like Roland, and something that was alluded to since the very beginning.

Here's the ideal head canon ending I had in mind for Homestuck.
>Have Alt-Calliope give a long speech to Jade about her motivations, Cosmic Progeny, how some miraculous event stooped her out of apathy into taking on LE and destroying the Green Sun
>Except these are just 'collateral' she says, the blackhole she's creating only a stepping stone towards her actual objective
>She states this will suck him beyond the void where he cannot return ever again, in any universe
>Same start as Ao7, but right before they enter the new universe we actually see them fight Caliborn
>His Masterpiece is shown and we see the kids sucked in, Caliborn defeated, sucked into Cal, ect
>Next scene is back around to LE with the ghost army struggling to hold him back
>Vriska tries to unleash the Juju, but is Fraggor'd and vaporized into nonexistence forever
>Aranea shows up out of nowhere and reveals she's been controlling LE, responsible for EVERYTHING like she always wanted
>LE vapes her anyway after the big reveal, gives no shits
>This distraction however gives Tavros enough time to unleash the Juju unsealing the kids
>They fight LE, put up a good fight but cannot seem to beat him
>Suddenly Alt-Calliope begins destroying the Green sun, possibly by obtaining and pulling Snowman's pin
>Dave stabs and tackles a depowered LE as A!C starts to suck him in
>Jade offers her hand for a rescue, but remembers A!C's mission and let's Dave make the sacrifice
>LE goes full Cosmic Snake, A!C follows, they 'mate' around the blackhole and give birth to their own parents, seed falls into blackhole and falls into next universe
>Dave is swallowed by Snake LE
>Eridan, Sollux, Mituna, Tavros and Feferi all work together with TROLLMOTIFS to help damage Snake LE, possibly with the HorrorTerrors help, they do enough damage to destroy his immortal eyeballs leaving him blind
>From the inside, Dave cuts his way out and dissects LE up mostly

>>81977802
Rip.
>>81978943
The method is minimalism. The entire purpose of splitting the Trolls up into three sessions is so that Karkat's team get the focus, while the others are snapshots of key moments. Act 5 Act 1 is no longer than present, ending with 8 dead trolls and 1 won session. Then Act 5 Act 2 can focus on Jack Noir becoming Lord English.
I'd introduce a mechanic that allowed players in sessions spawned from the same planet to hop across into each other's session, perhaps at a massive grist cost (which could then be played for drama - Gamzee is very profligate and wastes his team's grist, Vriska steals other team's supplies to fuel her mad exploits).
This could then serve as a way for the author to have other random characters turn up, like for fan requests or whatever or just to show that other sessions are occuring and going wrong. Perhaps the Scratch simply re-routes these portals so they lead into a different timeline of the same session, sort-of turning the portal back on itself like a mobius double-reacharound.
This also gives me the mad idea, that John and Karkat arethe designated ectobiologists for every player of Sburb/Sgrub on their PLANET, meaing that John has to jump from lab to lab ectobiologising tonnes of babies and shipping them off to their session's reckoning.Maybe I'll keep that idea on ice.

We should have Lord English win in our ending. He deserves it.

The day I believe in New "Hack" Reader is the day I believe a word Hussie says.
>>81979481
That Jack was one of the dumbest plot devices in the comic and frankly just an excuse to have more bosses because he wasn't planning to give us a real fight against anyone who matters.
>>81979538
was that yours?
the condy in the ring moment was dope

>>81977670
Go with the fan-provided metatextual explanation of Act 7 (House Juju is Homestuck itself, endgame wasn't killing LE, which is ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE, but rather trapping him inside Homestuck). Write the Epilogue in a manner which conforms to that (not actually showing much of anything we haven't already seen), using Hussie talking to the Reader directly from a vague space, in one final ridiculous text Recap of the entire comic.
Pan around to show he's explaining it all to Vriska - why he can't let her out. Because they're in Homestuck, and he has to limit the scope of Homestuck to keep LE trapped (undertone throughout of this also being Hussies victory in his creeping on Vriska - now she is trapped with him alone, forever).
"But, doesn't that mean he's here, too?"
LE tears through the panel as if from behind, and throws a huge fit smashing the page to hell (as in the crowbar-on-radiotower page) trying to laser-breath Hussie and Vriska (who have both jumped/flown out of the panel as well). Hussie makes the page reload to an actually random page in the comic, and they continue their conversation. He tries to give her one final chance to accept him as her soul mate, promising he can save her from LE if she does. She doesn't believe him, and wants to fight LE anyway. LE double-kills Hussie. LE and Vriska start fighting, black curtains drop.Or maybe this could be one final nod to community input, with a simple yes-or-no poll whether to save her.Problem Sleuth updates. The curtains blow open, revealing the PS afterlife. Hussie strolls out of panel and offscreen, alive again. He is followed by a continuous animated stream of all the double-dead ghosts, likewise restored. Several giant full-page spreads of countless trolls and kids exploring the PS afterlife, and eventually walking out the door to the PS 'THE WORLD IS REAL' world.
What name are we going to call the new reader? I've used liveblog anon but that sounds dumb and not long term at all.
>>81979464
It's only now the rabid post-Hetalia fandumb has died off that I can even bring the comic up.
There's a thread on /tg/ right now, where people were relieved to hear that the cool bits of Homestuck are free of twats.

NO.

What happened to Caliborn's Jack Noir?

it was a fucking joy to watch man
>>81979435
And here's Act 7 just for completion's sake.

>>81979651
I like your pro as heck guide series, thanks for making it
>>81979663
how about "friend"
>>81979651
its dope
>>81979663
Faggot.
>>81979620
this, plus him smashing bitches left and right in Collide was pure win
>>81979701
Caliborn said he would dispose of him after he killed the black queen of the dead session since "it's dangerous to leave Noirs lying around."
>>81979701
Caliborn offed him after he did his part in defeating the Black Queen. (who would have been unprototyped and wearing white I now realise)
Come to think of it, how would the Black Queen's ring have looked in the Dead Session? Is that how Caliborn acquired the Ring of Void?
>>81979773
I can't stop noticing the weapons mistake, fuck.
>>81979703
I'm glad, I tried watching reddit's stream of it so I could actually see live reactions for once, but i fell asleep and only caught the last hour, and no one recorded the chat (besides my own recording of that hour)
it seemed to work way better as a stream, which is something i never really anticipated people would do
>>81979825
>Come to think of it, how would the Black Queen's ring have looked in the Dead Session? Is that how Caliborn acquired the Ring of Void?
oh fuck me, probably
>>81979228
>>I'd introduce a mechanic that allowed players in sessions spawned from the same planet to hop across into each other's session, perhaps at a massive grist cost
I like that idea a lot, grist quickly dropped off the radar as a thing in the normal story, so seeing it have a meaningful method of dumping excess grist before the grist rigs become necessary would have been great. I also appreciate how you could have it lead to the dooming of the green team's session; instead of them dealing with Gamzee fucking about and wasting vast amounts of grist they instead just combine a Sollux exploit and some Vriska shenanigans to fuel his new addicting. This causes a destabilization in the sburb mechanics and they end up having no way to fuel the forge through grist, so they know their session is doomed, and desperately attempt to escape. It's be a neat way of keeping Gamzee, Vriska or Aradia as part of the overall plot if necessary as all 3 server as effective plot driving characters.
Time travel abuse to see snippets of the doomed teams characters would also be fun, especially for propping up character development of the main group and providing a happy ending for the characters in the end.
How would you structure the whole villain situation then? If your plan is to show how Jack eventually ends up as Lord English, would you still have another form of Jack acting as a lesser antagonist? I loved the idea of a game element going rogue in a manner sburb hasnt accounted for, the parallels to cancer or an auto-immune disease in the human body really stuck with me as clever. I can understanding leaving that purely to LE, but how would you make another threat relevant to the main cast?
I also liked that idea at the end of your post, gives something interesting for John to do on his own for once.
>>81979845
The double-armed Bec Noir is more annoying to me.
>>81979773
Those are the troll's Jack and the Alpha Kid's Jack.
>>81979663
Well they stopped tagging homestuck with hsg, so I assume daoots.
>>81979845
it was probably meant to be placed after the time shenanigans
Why are Derse characters so fucking great? The worst they get are Equius and Nepeta, who are both just harmless memes. Every other character from the dark kingdom is fucking fantastic. By contrast, the only characters I actually like from Prospit are Karkat and Terezi; everyone else ranges from decent to fucking terrible.
>>81979845
Union Jack shouldn't have the cue stick gun but doesn't Slick actually still have the Crowbar?
>>81979928
John is cool but the rest are bad
>>81979876
Where was that
>>81979895
Sure are? What's your point
>>81979928
Derse is for cool people
Prospit is the Hufflepuff of kingdoms
>>81979943
no, Crowbar asks him if he has it and he tells him to shut up
>>81979907
And nothing of value was lost.
Reminder that Karkat is a good Christian boy.
Imagine the cancer when the Homestuck cartoon has a crossover with Steven Universe.
>>81980040
>someone enjoying the comic and sharing their enthusiasm
>a bad thing
Are you that mad they blew your asshole out about Jack being on Alternia?
>>81979818
For reference: what Caliborn says about Jack.
You guess Jack Noir could still be up there too. You'll have to catch up with him later for a debriefing. He has been very useful. You may need his service again some time.
HE WOULD MAKE A GOOD FRIEND. IF THE CONCEPT OF FRIENDSHIP WASN'T HORRID AND MEANINGLESS TO ME.
THEREFORE. I WILL THINK OF A WAY TO DISPOSE OF HIM ONCE HIS USEFULNESS IS OVER.
IT'S BAD FORM TO LEAVE STRAY NOIRS WANDERING AROUND.

>same classpect as fucking Tavros
Ain't that just the worst. At least people will like you.
>>81980372
>>81980303
What disappoints me the most is that Andrew doesn't seem to have drawn anything. I just miss him being involved on that level. He's too much of a director of things now.
>>81979928
Prospit has Jade, John, Kanaya, Calliope, Karkat, and Terezi. I personally like Tavros but understand that others might not, especially after Act 6. And you didn't mention Feferi as the real Dersite dead weight which is probably because she's exceptionally forgettable.
But yeah, Crocker-English were solid letdowns and Vriska and Gamzee are the fucking worst.
>>81980217
Ughhhh
How would you feel if the epilogue was just a [S] page of this image slowly fading in and then slowly fading out?
>>81978037
>1. Have definitive proof if Lord English is dead or not. None of this abiguous Dark Tower bullshit.
He was in the presence of horses and his eyes turned to eight-balls. He's pretty conclusively beaten.
>>81980408
Yeah, once he's dead.
>>81980439
Kanaya and Calliope are both bad characters though
>>81980338
Keep going
>>81980451
He was with horses and his eyes were 8 balls when Hussie threw his gun at him.
>>81980476
You're objectively incorrect but it's okay.
>>81980383
>>81980491
cool, feel free to filter me if you want since like 5 people have told me to off myself for 'spamming' the thread
>>81980446
At least it would be honest
What the fuck is wrong with Hussie's lips?
>>81980262
>It already did, unfortunately.
There's no cartoon adaption of this shit anywhere.
>>81979825
It's arguable whether there even were rings or scepters in that session, considering Skaia was lost before the game even started, and there was no reason (or chance) for a Forge to come into play.
There would be no need for Carapace either, since Caliborn had to conquer each planet on his own with nothing but The Felt, and there would be no exiles or warring going on aside from his own conquest.
>>81979868
>>81979825
No, because there's only one ring of void and it originates from the void session.
A dead session probably doesn't have rings at all.
>>81980591
> there is no anime of Homestuck.
nigger, you just went full retard
>>81980558
Nothing, they're beautiful.
I bet when the anime reaches the conclusion everything will be in sprite mode for the first time and the viewers will be like 100 times more let-down.
>>81980048
>Karkat's last words were about stupid shit and Dave just to fuel a bullshit ship
Did any character get as shafted as he did?
>>81977964
Points, but he is notorious for making up random shit on the spot.
Beforus Trolls, for example
>>81980558
Botched botox injection
>>81980551
Its kind of fucked up players can stick their denizens in their Syladexs
>>81979825
>he did his part in defeating the Black Queen
Pretty sure there was no Skaia, Prospit or Derse in his session once he entered. By choosing Yoghurtbroth difficulty level, the Medium was replaced by 14 worlds he had to conquer with a time limit. Instead of amphibious consorts, he got leprechauns. Instead of fraymotifs, he got minions. We never saw any sign of chess-people after he started the game, and where we would've seen Skaia we saw a big sucking hole.
>>81979845
I'm pretty sure that was a joke.
>>81979874
I really like that idea of Trolls from the Green sessions attempting to abandon ship once they realise they've allowed so much of their session to get blown up that they try to invade the Red and Blue sessions, like some cancerous remain of a dying creature grafting itself onto a healthy one. In fact that's some fucking perfect symbolism, which ties into the answer to the Jack question.
I don't know how much you read of the last thread, but this idea for the split-up Trolls stemmed from discussions about how Lord English could be played differently. Jack Noir is a more compelling villain AND anti-hero, while Lord English works better as an interesting bit of backstory (like the troll Ancestors) who serves to hype up Noir. Alternatively, English can be something bigger but more controlled.
An idea I proposed was thatLord English was a glitch in Sburb, caused by two sessions creating themselves by fucking up timeloops - so in this canon the Trolls made the human universe and the humans made the Troll universe. Lord English manifests as a virus that attempts to manipulate players and game constructs, can possess characters by giving them the Poolball eyes and use them to further his agenda. English's goal is to simply infect more sessions, using the dead remains of old ones as a springboard without regard for what universes are or aren't generated. He essentially dooms timelines, and is constantly on the run from Paradox Space to face off from doom and, in a sense, let others foot his paradox-bill.
The Lord English in Don't Get Blood on the Suits would be revealed to be Bec Noir, who English has been manipulating to become himself for some time. Slick's murderous motivations would have an anti-heroic purpose, in that he would also be seeking to relieve an alternative version of himself from the torture of hosting the terrible virus.
1/2?

Seriously thats a fucking burden to deal with

>Also this is actually pretty fucked up
Welcome to Homestuck, motherfucker.
>>81980752
Wait until you see them captchalogue entire planets.
>>81980824
More like 4 and a third.
>>81978437
Jake was misfortunate, that all of his friends saw nothing in him but a cock dispenser. They didn't gave a fuck about Jake.
Look how successful Jake is when he is on his own.
This is the actual lesson here. The best way to win a game is single-player. That's why Caliborn won his session and was able to fuck up 4 different ones. He never had to care about drunk Rose, whiny Dave, whiny Terezi, shunned Jane, Dirk and his fucking mind games, a huge murdering 8itch, or a useless asshole of a leader
