one of the greatest stories of wasted potential
I liked problem slueth. i didnt get very far into homestuck cause slow updates and it being really early on in its lifetime. what made it so divided on good or bad?
Hatred has hardened and cracked away into spite. Homestuck is awful.
On another note, rewatching Game Over made me realize just how little most of the outsourced artists gave a shit about abiding by Homestuck's artstyle. Sure, even Cascade had some shots that challenged the art style (Bec Noir killing the exiles especially) but nothing was as egregious as the shit used in Game Over (or Collide after it for that matter).
I think it just speaks to the overall decline of the comic, and its inability to follow a single, meaningful vision.
WHY DID THEY NEVER REALISE THAT SBURB AND SKAIA WERE BEHIND IT ALL
For new readers, there is ONE thing keeping you reading the story: the hope that you'll see the original four kids finally united, kicking ass and being goofy friends. Every single one of those "let's read Homestuck" blogs says something like "oh boy I cant wait to see John and Dave and Rose all hang out together!"
Over the course of over 8000 pages, this does not happen. There's plenty of time for Jasperroseprite^2 and leprechaun romance, but the fucking hook of the story is never delivered on. I will die mad.
It was good in the beginning but got too bloated as time went on. It will be remembered as that internet thing that combined almost every element of the 2000's internet into it self.
The main problems were :
>Too many characters to actually be infested in
>Characters people care about not getting enough screen time
>Mountains of text on almost every page
>The creator using the comic to troll people instead telling a compelling story
>And bad epilogues that don't explain a lot of the holes in the story
But the good things to come from it were:
>Memorable main characters
>Fun visuals that sets it a part from any other comic or webcomic
>Combining different mediums to tell the story
>Good world building
>Fantastic sound track
>And a ton of porn
Homestuck is something I kept pushing through as it came out. I like the story of the first five acts a lot better than act 6 and it's many sub acts. It never gives a payoff that feels earned or gratifying. That or we get no payoff for some characters.
But the worst thing to come from Homestuck is Homestuck^2 beyond canon. That dumpster fire will probably give us memes but nothing else of value like it's predecessor.
I enjoyed Homestuck but it defiantly got old as time went on. But I can see myself rereading it to catch anything I missed.
It's fine. It really drags on towards the end and I think it goes without saying that they should have just ended it there.
I mean, I enjoy HIVESWAP and FRIENDSIM because I think Alternia is an interesting setting that you can do cool stuff with but I'm really not interested in this tacked-on story featuring the original cast of characters.
nothing would have been lost if sollux, nepeta, equius, and feferi were cut
prove me wrong
>what made it so divided on good or bad?
the second half of the story, originally intended to be a few hundred pages at most, is just an entirely different beast from the first half. the cast of characters in the first half is swept aside to focus on 18 ALL NEW dipshits and their interpersonal drama. it abandons any of the whimsicality and fun the first half had in an attempt to make DEEP META COMMENTARY
Cringe again, Anthony
You and others touring have Exposed that some people who participate in the Homestuck community are in fact cockroaches. (Like Twitter hasn't done that already today.)
Bye again, roach
So how's that "filtering me" thing going for you?
>using the same auto-pilot responses he's used every thread
Not well, huh, Anthony?
cutting equius means you would lose lot of the funniest lines in the comic
>haha I know your real name lole
I will never understand what compels people to seek the personal information of everyone who slightly annoys them online. go back to diddling kids on kiwifarms and make another chris-chan wiki.
We wouldn't get dream bubbles if we didn't have feferi. Dream bubbles are arguably the sweetest thing because it lets those who die continue their existence instead of just being sent to the void.

1st day on the internet?
nah, 6th year.
They been getting mad online for years, dese roaches. Now their brains are taking on a special quality; wonder why
Now let's go back to what really matters: when will Hussie introduce "guyisart" and what will he be like?
A real mystery....
>only 6 years
Literal child.
Because you're pathetic, Anthony.
let's get back to what REALLY matters, namely this handsome fuck right here. god, what a hunk.
>Literal child.
how predictable.
this song oddly reminds me of Homestuck. Perhaps Youtube's algorithm agreed?
youtube.com
i listened to another by this musician but; just doesn't give me the same feeling . . .
Homestuck rewarded obsession, early on, due to its updating at random times multiple times per day. Consequently it attracted its notorious fanbase of obssessives, but more than that, once it couldn't sustain that momentum it collapsed.
dream bubbles and feferi are not a package deal
you can give dream bubbles a different origin that doesn't involve feferi
Anyone else feels like Hussie simply got tired of every single character except the Striders?
Every single Strider had a full conclusion and development, everyone else got most of their shit unsolved.
Shedding your name to use my insult for you isn't a good response, Anthony.
If the Galactic Federation is really going to reveal itself.... i hate to see what the alien species think; of this big Homestuck mess...
away with you now
