no, retard

how so then?
and why are you calling him a retard?

No
But the sprites^2 were

Fefetasprite's story:
>Fefetasprite exists !
>Fefetasprite explodes
>the end

No, the worst concept of the comic is the comic itself.

...

...

> are trolls the worst concept of the comic ? they are completely unnecessary?
Yes. Yes, they are.

hi kanaya

...

Sprites originally served as just kind of guides. Like they were perfect for exposition dumps and plot advancement. Making them into x character but not really was kinda weird.

not really the worst, just the most wasted

hentai-foundry.com/pictures/user/Sparrow/453790/Pocket-Socket

Is this supposed to be Kanaya?!

...

...

Sprites were fine

It's not Kanaya, it's some midget with yellow eyes. Enjoy your hepatitis, mister mutant-cock man.

am I doing this right?

Oh, ok, thanks for the clarification

Yes!

...

This person is correct. Everybody close the thread, time to go home and die with dignity.

But what if I told you that I don't want to?

Then we are in the same boat, my friend.

This

Who was the worse character?

So what went wrong with the concept, comparing it to Problem Sleuth? Was it the chatlogs? Or teen characters? Too much worldbuilding?

Everything?

Andrew Hussie

Trolls.

...

Gamzee
His entire existence is a joke

What is your classpect and what does it do?

Ex. Knight of Space, uses his space powers to create and change the density of objects to fight for his team.

...

What is /hst/'s opinion on Kanaya?
Do you like her? Why?

Page of Blood
I am completely fucking useless.

Isnt the page of blood someone that buffs all of their friends or something? Or that can make a blood bubble?

...

I do.

She served as a good counterpart to Act 5 Rose, whom I liked a lot back then. Then she just faded away into the background, but every time she got screentime I was happy because her dialogue remained more-or-less of the same "good but not nearly best" quality.

Three things killed Homestuck:
1) Hussie's tendency to allow a story to get out of hand
2) Hussie's insistence on pandering to the lowest common denominators of his fandom
3) Hussie choosing to kickstart an adventure game before finishing the comic and not even having a concrete plan for the game

Knight of Void

Void is more or less 'nothing', right? I get that this is supposed to be about using the void and 'nothing' to fight and combat, but that sounds like it takes practise and skill so I'd just take that shit literally and fight barehanded, literally with 'nothing'

Nah. Homestuck as a coming-of-age creation myth about internet friendships and growing up. It was presented as an affectionate parody of RPGs and text adventures that used the "web" part of webcomic to its fullest. And it was fucking excellent.
Hussie struck gold here, this is a story that's somehow managed to resonate with people old enough to have grown up with interactive fiction and instant messaging before social networks were a thing, but also with younger kids. It was a stroke of genius.

Unfortunately -- and maybe he's always been like this, or maybe this is recent -- it's clear Hussie these days does not care making something good and loved. He values his personal entertainment first and foremost.
Which is normally not bad: you can still blindly wander into success that way... unless your entertainment consists of hostile ironic humor genuinely meant at your fans' expense. And I think Hussie also values the false security of hiding, keeping quiet and avoiding responsibility over the bold honor of honest communication. And this played a huge part in the comic's butchered ending -- he did something truly awful in silence rather than do nothing and tell the truth.

It's a shame, but I think one of these days another artist will come along and make something that captures the same kind of magic Homestuck used to be made of. It'll happen. And it will be the beginning of something really excellent.

Because he's retarded. Sprites were the most side of sidecharacters. Why complain about them?
It was weird but it wasn't necessarily bad; that concept had a lot of potential to be really interesting but it just went kind of flacid. Erisol and ARquius were still great though.

Yeah, one character that Hussie deliberately fucked over because he thought it was hilarious to string along fans hoping to see her talk sure does invalidate all the other sprites who had important roles.

...

...

Mage of Mind. Something....?

the moment the second player conects they stop being helpfull really, the game basics are already known by the players.

considering each planet has an entire population of weird animals ready to tell you whats going on and the denizen turn out being such bros yes, they are unnecessary.

they were interesting as a way of getting people back to life, but this really meant nothing considering nana sprite is nothing but a generic granny with a jokes gimmick and thats it.
troll's lusus were other story, and they actually served in each troll development, being their guardian pet and finally talking with them for the first time in their lives.

other than that, just more characters.

boring but cute.

Maid of Mind. Rollerskating serveuse.
Ask me for a food order, I'll head to the kitchen and bring back something that isn't what you asked for, like some airheaded ditz. and yet, it you find later it was something that you didn't know you needed.

>considering each planet has an entire population of weird animals ready to tell you whats going on and the denizen turn out being such bros yes, they are unnecessary.
They can't speak though.

Dumb bitch, I didn't want cheese on my burger. How useless can you be? No, I don't need it either, I'm fucking lactose intolerant. Quit being so fucking self important.

The weeks I wasted reading this piece of shit, I will never get them back!
It's a wonder Hussie didn't drag Toby Fox down the bog of hackmanship.

cuntpi isn't even here yet, you hit your cue too early

It's not that they CAN'T speak, they're just busy doing their dumb reptile shit (Mushroom Farmer, day trading crocodile guys, etc.)

I don't know if that's a diss against me or Cuntpi.

Well, then sprites are still useful for that, right?

someone post a cute troll
no lowwbloods

...

What an idiot.

homestuck has a lot of great concepts but it's bogged down by a lot of shit

it feels like the first draft of an amazing story

I hope it gets a major rewrite/remake some day

kill yourself

why?

What?

more pictures like this please

the stones.. are in me.

Thief of Breath

I bend air out of people's lungs

>10 years ago

Mage of void reporting in
I know all yo dirty secrets......all of them

If it was made today, the prisoner would use they/they're pronouns and be completely shafted near the end to focus on the new, funnier character Ingo Ubong who blows up the jail and everyone in it and fucks a lesbian prisoner for the next 30 pages.

Knight of rage.
Literally the hulk minus the transformation.
Why are there so many knights in this thread?

>inb4 edgelord for using a scythe
Yeah yeah okay I know whatever but someone used a spoon as a weapon, I'm allowed to have fun, no matter what farming tool I use. Still fun to draw.

>Cred Forumsmblr
>Why are there so many knights in this thread?

do you think the inside of aradia's throat is soft? welcoming?

kek

yes, but it has barbs running the other way so you cant pull out

Dude I would feel up Aradia's insides any day.

You also have a neckbeard and glasses.

Adding to this, Is knight the most desirable aspect? The concept of weaponizing your aspect just seems so appealing. That or mage or heir.

Also, is it actually possible to call yourself one of the master classes (muse or lord) and not be a massive faggot? I feel like if it could ever actually be a title to gain, it would have to be incredibly painstaking, more so than page. Maybe Caliborn was just riding his high horse again.

...

Knight is basically the default class. "Improving yourself with x" can apply to just about everyone.

youtu.be/6l-o4XS5424

Obligatory viewing for any nepeta themed threads

Came here to post this. My interest in the comic began to wane as soon as the focus first shifted to them. I started skipping big chunks of dialogue because I just didn't give a shit about any of these stupid gray faggots and just wanted to get back to the main four kids.

But the focus never completely shifted back, and those awful little creatures kept shoving their way back into the story, so I decided to just drop the comic entirely. I came back a couple times to see if the comic had gotten any better, and the last time I did, the kids went "trickster mode" or some shit, and that's when I knew the comic wasn't for me.

Shit, did I just call knight an aspect? shit shit shit. mother fuck. shit. goddamnit. fuck.

Knight of knight.

This is getting way too meta

A knight of knight of Void would be the Dark Knight.
>too meta
>in Homestuck
Not possible.

is knight an emotion?

Do I feel knight?

no....

Can you find any artwork that depicts the following pairings?

-Kanaya/White Queen
-PM/Rose
-Porrim/Caliborn
-Aradia/Calliope
-Mom/Condesce
-Karkat/WV

Consider it a scavenger hunt.

>that one fic where Dave is forced to breed with all the human girls

deeper

>the one where he screams and cries for karkat and the girls make fun of him for being a fag.

>It's revealed that Vriska is actually Karkat wearing her skin.
>He tries to help him escape.
>Trips on a Jadepup
>It was Aranea's skin the whole time
>Vriska: Enter

>OP not "10/25 ONE MONTH AWAY EPILOGUE NEWS MAYBE"
Opportunity squandered.

To answer your question, no. Without sprites we wouldn't have sprite^2s, the motivation of several characters (including humans) for playing the game in the first place, or the ultimate selves to round out Hussie's gnostic motif that he committed to since early on.

Also there wouldn't be best character.

>Implying those conversations with Eridan didn't contribute to character development
I swear these are the same people that are bitching about there not being more character development in Homestuck. Please admit this to me so I can jump from the fandom like a burning boat.

>>Implying those conversations with Eridan didn't contribute to character development
I agree with this but liking Davepeta makes me want to strangle you.

Hi icels

They were right about the Eridan thing though.

Not him. Is his grammar really as anal as mine? Yuck.

You both like Davepeta, that puts you on the same level.
Also I thought icels was a girl?

Icels is a girl. Also, they both seem to have that same kind of """"intellectal""" vibe to them.

They have to be a girl, why would a guy be such a fujoshit

It's called "flaming homosexuality"

I'm pretty sure I was the heir of space, which is pretty useful for getting ahead on all that breeding.

I've never seen even the biggest queens act like a condescending bitch over a gay ship.

I've always liked the thought a Thief of Doom. Martyrs are cool. More realistically though, I'm probably something incredibly lame, like the Seer of Void or something.

I have. They're even worse; even if they're more rare.

...

Prince of Space

Princes of Space annoy the shit out of every- OH! What it DOES. Well, we destroy space and destroy with space, and interestingly are the only classpect that might theoretically be able to defeat an instance of LE by destroying the part of space he resides in, although such an attack would be slow based on Dirk vs Aranea.

I assume it'd be like when LE destroys the fabric of space-time, but he could be also using the Space powers of the White Wand and Equius's Void powers to do that. Other people liken it to The Hand from Jojo where the fractured space-time is invisible and space just squishes in to fill the void.

Is Hussie really going to release the epilogue on 4/13 holy fuck just let us have some peace at least

I was using the gender neutral he because I didn't know who Icels is. She sounds great.

Find out in 30 days!

Heir of Blood, friendship makes everything better, and a bunch of other stuff! Also a bit of hemokenisis?

They're one of the worst posters in these threads and fucking nuts.

Seer of Void.

I understand nothing?

Holy shit.

What are your favorite Homestuck fan videos?

That's fitting.

You can help people by seeing things that are hidden or unknowable. That's a strong classpect in my opinion. :3

No, they understand nothing.

I remember when they tried to later claim that they were drunk and just kidding

>Void is associated with "the essence of lacking, or nothingness" and "the obfuscation of knowledge", or its "outright destruction".
If a Seer of Void can't see hidden information, they at the very least can see the act of it being hidden.

I'm not dumb!

Oh, that's much more straight forward than I was thinking.

How would a mage of void differ? When I took that really complicated classpect test it had me straddling the line between seer and mage.

>blood
>friendship

Should I finish reading it?
I got to the part where they're all on the meteor
I was enjoying it but now I barely remember the story

Void is also nothing. Knowing nothing fits Cuntpi more.
Cuntpi is dumb.

Like most classpect stuff this isn't 100% confirmed canon information, but it's implied that the Mage is the active counterpart to the Seer. Mage of Voids are impacted by the knowledge themselves instead of it affecting their allies.

Knight of Light.

I am just an egoistic pile of useless shit.

Agreed the squared sprites were pretty damn pointless.

Probably not. I'd only recommend finishing homestuck to people who are already invested in act 6. If you've gotten to the meteor meet up and you feel comfortable walking away then you should. You've read the good part already.

I thought the Prince of Space's power was that weapons are useless against him.

Well more specifically any kind of bonds I guess? Kinship would probably be more appropriate, that and responsibility. I really wish we understood it better.

Page of Rage.
Bard of Breath.

Are you a tokusatsu expert or something, or is it well-known? I only know of it because it's my classpect and it's so old and poorly-received that I didn't think anyone would reference it. Ever.

it was an MST3k episode

Wanna know what Blood does?

Getting cucked.

So they have to see through what's hidden to protect themselves? Confusing.

I can't answer this question for you without knowing you. Most people here seem to have hated the end. I thought it was really good and I'm not the only one. It depends on what you want out of the story and how much specific mistakes Hussie makes are going to upset you.

If you barely remember the story then you probably won't understand everything, but then again Hussie barely remembered the story after he put down Hiveswap and resumed post-Gigapause.

knight of hope, able to overcome impossible odds by believing he can, even if he shouldn't be able to
he'll be standing there with several swords in his chest, a leg missing, and half his jaw blown off, and he'll slur "no don't worry i've still got this", and then somehow pull through and walk off his crippling injuries to be good as new the very next day
also protomen references, as is mandatory for all hope players

Think of the way Sollux knew of the impending Doom and made inner peace about it if that helps.

Seer of Void demonstrating her powers.

...

No.

>asks for no bully
>fucks up his spoiler tags

seer of void also always knows when someone in their session has a boner
always.

Oh god
They subscribe to the tentabulges and weird luminescent troll headcanon as well

Shh user don't be mean, please.

What's the luminescent troll headcanon?

I'm just making sure she knows she's stupid. She might forget- since she's so stupid.

A clever player will counter this power by not hiding his boner and using the seer of void's general obliviousness to his advantage, much to his team's dismay.

Is it as bad as the old grubscars thing?

>Somebody rubbing their boner in Cuntpi's face without her realizing it's there.

Jesus fuck why?! I never do that, the work really is working against me.

World* I swear to god I'm never phone posting again. ;-;

It's just as dumb. It's "Trolls have a bunch of really obvious stripes all over their bodies that glow the same color as their blood"

Nevermind that Kanaya's glow was unique, it'd defeat the point of Karkat, and is just fucking stupid in general

Wow, you suck, user.

It's okay user, we all make mistakes. Here's a tip: Ctrl + S.

If there was one thing you knew, it'd be mistakes.

ZA WARUDA*

I know, I was doing so well too. The first time I messed up I got flustered, then I started shitting with my hands.
Thanks ;-; life is hard.
DIOOOOO

>nice dick dave

What?

He has a nice dick.

Dave's dick is pretty nice. You gotta admit that at least

O)(! I'V-E B-E-EN A V-ERY BAD GIRL.

Dip, they're dancing.

Don't call me a dip.

Canon, Dave has a nice D. Remember that time he asked karkat to hop on his dick? Good times.

I imagine Dave's dick being average in size, but symmetrical and well-proportioned.

She's being sarcastic, it's a tiny pitiful thing.

Dip.

I read the post, it only shows up when aroused apparently. Still kind of stupid but whatever, at least it doesn't give them all the same junk.

Don't be a bully! That's not nice!D-double bully!

A feminine penis?

What are you doing?

Probably. Thin blonde boys often do.

Like you would know.

who has bigger tits, rose or jane?
im asking very seriously, so you better answer with canon sources and all that.

:,(

Jane because she's a fattie.

Being the anti-bully ranger! I'm the only one that gets bullied around here!
Remember user, she hypothetically in an alternate universe has the ability to know the unknown. Spooky.

Being nice.

Jane. Source: I have eyes.

I think it was S A6 A4

Does this make all my headcanons real? Like twinky dave with a feminine penis?

Cuntpi deserves to be bullied.

good post, best user

I can't argue with that.

The implications of making fanfiction canon is horrifying, but probably!
Haha 'kay

I'm not making canon, I'm picking up on Hussie's hidden intent. I shipped davekat back in act five. I shipped John/Roxy ever since Roxy's character was introduced. How did I never notice these powers before?

Roxy is shit. Johnroxy is shit. Davekat is trash. You secretly have the power of shit opinions.

Shit CANON opinions, thank you very much.

Liking what awful shit Hussie likes isn't something to be proud of.

...

I didn't buy beer on the way home. I should have. Why didn't I. I stood there and walked away what have I done

You're probably right, I had the image of that one busty vriska picture(mouse pad?) some guy had unca huss sign.

>text color nose
I think? Is this a kid swap? It's gross either way

I had it in my head* whelp when you start forgetting whole parts of your sentences I think it's probably close to bed time.

Show it.

>power of shit opinions
what classpect is that?

Piggy of Ice(ls).

God there's gonna be so much bitching if the Homestuck show is greenlit. They'll all whine that the girls aren't trans and the boys are all white.

...

My guess would be bard of mind?

Is she a meanie?

Ding ding ding

Or the casting would be "inclusive" and there'd also be bitching.
You can't win.

Mage of Breath, reporting in.

Also, Jade should only ever be cast by Zooey Deschanel. The seer of void has spoken.

She's a moron.

That bitching won't get it boycotted though, unlike the flipside.

#rudedudewithatude
Go to bully jail! Do not pass go! Do not collect 200 dollars!

Not until she goes to stupid jail.

They'd fuck it up and have a diverse cast whose genealogy is completely impossible. I'd even rather have an all-Native-American cast than something that messes with the premises.

Can't we all just get along?

At least Homestuck is still fappable, lads.

>Native American Jade
I'm listening...

People can't help what they're born with. There are nice dumb people who are worthy of love and attention.

Do they have that now? Huh, what a weird time to be alive.
She's right, how are we going to argue while at the funeral of something that we've grown to care about so much. CANT YOU GUYS SEE YOURE TEARING THIS FAMILY APART?!
I'll fap to you and your trips bro.

She's too old to play a teenager.

...

Or a 12 year old.

>Jade and John asian
>Jane and Jake black

Why do artists not read the comic and then do this

Not until you pay your stupid fines.Not Cuntpi.
Lock her up.

ideal to rape

I'm not dumb!

Remember that nudestuck jade chick that was native american and everyone thought was underage because she was flatchested

Prove it.

I didn't say you were. I was just making an ethics point that made it irrelevant to his argument.

If we are going to bully eachother can we please do it gently? I'm willing to compromise here.

>When you want to quit and just get on with your fucking life, but you get yet another idea for a fic and have to write it

Mail me a gun, /hsg/

Is that duct tape?

How? You want my transcripts or something? An iq test?

Oh hey, it's this girl

...

user don't do it! We still have an epilogue to wait for! r-right?

all trace

of the epilogue

was erased

She is adorable

I saw this image and now I want something where Kanaya introduces Karkat to weed as a way to help him calm down

I'd write it myself but I only have experience with drinking my problems away

No, I'm hardcore.
Trick question, you can't prove you're not because it's true. Of course you'd fall for it, dummy.

Dumb people are fun to bully. Like Karkuck.

I took the 11 hour IQ test that costs a bunch of money. It was fun.

Karkat is not for bullying. He was maimed, user. It was an inside job.

He used to be the arch bully. The hardest one to befriend of four murderous alien teenagers.

I don't follow.

I gotta take one for free when I was 11 because I was being tested for a learning disability. Now I'm afraid of ever taking another because I might score worse.

FUCK DONT REMIND ME IR STILL HURTS. ;-;
There is a difference between being hard core and a big meanie weenie! BULLY. JAIL!

cuntpi i still cant believe you're still shitposting in neo-hsg. arent there better places to be? or are you the prime attentionwhore now?

you should get a hobby that you can constantly improve opn. improve your worth as a person

...

Shit, you had this too? I'm glad I'm not the only one, I was lumped into classes with some kids with actual learning disabilities for a few YEARS, all because I couldn't write neatly or quickly. I had shitty fine motor skills due to a genetic disorder.

Case closed, you're retarded.
Put her in stupid jail.

Do you remember if it was over ten hours long? How'd you do?

I had one done too. When I was a bit older though. I think back and realize that maybe they were testing me for autism or something. But nothing came of it.

Where Is Karkat

I can't believe how the perception of Karkat went from jaded asshole to insecure tsundure. He was better and more unique before; now he's just a fuckboy archetype.

he didn't commit to a gnostic motif, he referenced gnostic shit at the start and then ignored it for most of the comic before bringing it back at the end

>filename
You've been here a while, eh?

That's not true [S]: Cascade was incredibly fucking gnostic and you know it.

i wish i was karkat in that pic ; _ ;

I'm bored of anime. What else is there?

And yes, I am.

You must have difficulty playing video games, user. You have my deepest sympathies.

In my case it was ADD.

I don't remember how long it was, but i wouldn't have been 10 hours. I think I was tested over several days. I did alright. Scored highest in abstract reasoning and got a 140. I think it was a fluke. Lowest in short term memory, which was 105. All of it averaged to 124.

How'd you do?

...

Yeah.

I have.

big fan of the midnight crew goes to war

Answer The Question

Me too, diagnosed with ADHD. In the 98th percentile myself but still a bit retarded, had to quit my job tonight because of simple scheduling nonsense. Very annoying. I missed a stats assignment last night and have a paper due tomorrow.

Mine was about 4-5 hours long, but I took a condensed version.

>Posts sollox gets dubdubs
It was probably the same here I think? I was a bit awkward, and those two red flags iirc?
Thank god no, that's just during the developmental stages, now it's just more about muscle fatigue. Though my handwriting is still kinda shit.

Do you have some good stories for a newfriend you'd be willing to share?

Ugh ok
He's in Kanaya's arms right?

What if it's Kankri?

...

Page of Space
Have a lot of potential to create a new universe but it take a fucking long time to realized my own fucking potential.

Well if it is Kanakri then I wish I was him in that pic
I just want to snuggle with Kanaya

that was in 2011 user, act 6 was half the comic
also it wasn't even that gnostic, like 2 gnos' out of 5 at best

Haha, no, me, it was because I never did my homework. I had awful grades in school because of it. All my teachers thought I was bright, I just didn't apply myself. So maybe I got tested to see if my brain was shit.

But no autism. The real reason is just a lot of really bad experiences in early grade school, and even worse experiences in middle and beyond.

...

Oh hey it's the weenie version of me. Sup.

...

I'm glad it doesn't seriously impact your ability to enjoy pop culture. Thank god for keyboards.

user had a hard life. Cmere, I'll take care of you with my scrawny cancer man arms. It's all gon be K now. Shshshshshshhhhhh

It was objectively at LEAST 3 gnoes out of five and anyone who would seriously think otherwise is retarded and should die.

Source? I'm having trouble reading the handwriting.

Don't need it. Already got an ACA support group and impending insurance to cover other helpful stuff. Slow and steady improvement.

gnostic more like NOstick because there isn't any

Maybe I'm just stoned but are you implying you have cancer?

:/

>ADD
I swear they over-diagnose this shit. My parents had me tested in elementary school as well, and I disagree with their diagnoses (of course I'm safe to do so since they never attempted medication of any kind)

>or the ultimate selves to round out Hussie's gnostic motif that he committed to since early on.

Fuck you. This is LEGITIMATELY the worst concept in all of Homestuck. No exaggeration, no nothing; when you literally have two of Rose and two of Jane and two of Dave alive simultaneously at the end of the story (albeit one of each in sprite form) and they obviously have different priorities, different lived experiences and different lives to lead from that point forward, the idea that they're all just sort of different aspects of the same character doesn't work. They're going to have continuing, branching paths, becoming increasingly distinct from one another as the years go on, becoming more and more separate and unique people independent of one anothers' life experiences. The very execution betrays the premise.

...

Just teasin'. You weenies have my respect. Nice to see you use emotes, too. Maybe it's a Space thing! :3c

Thank you for your help.

I have more muscle than that bitch.

Yeah, I don't let it get the best of me! Most of the time anyway.
Keep trucking user, I believe in you!
Nah bro, I'm just a pretty textbook cancerian.

Np

For sure they over diagose it. Both of my best friends were also diagnosed ADD/ADHD when I was in high school. One might have had mild aspergers, the other was just low iq, I think. All of us were medicated at some point and hated it. They used to just sling that diagnosis around whenever they weren't sure what was going on with a kid, or when kids just weren't falling into line. I think they got the nail on the head for me, though.

The thing about ADHD meds are that they work the same for everyone. They don't treat the symptoms of the disease, but they stimulate you so that your productive anyways. It's a really weird thing to give 10 year olds.

Space is for faggots.

What about Jade then?

...

Welcome to the wonderful world of s p e e d

>the other was just low iq,
That explains it.

>disease
Wew lad.

Jade is a furry and furries are faggots

>The very execution betrays the premise.
Not to sound like I'm memeing you bro, but it sounds like you don't get the premise of ultimate selves. The ultimate self is like a Borg collective made out of all the individual, radically-different selves. No one is saying that the doomed Daves are similar beings.

Maybe he explained something poorly, but the execution does not betray what the premise is supposed to be.

Sorry if my Star Trek simile is lost on you.

Male space players are fags.
It's a highly feminine aspect, meant for breedsluts.

Girls can't be faggots.

>Male space players try to get pregnant
>They can't
>So they just turn into flaming faggots

Explains why I'm so girly and masculine at the same time

Also explains Hussie.

Oh, oh yes they can. Believe you me. Complete stupid sissy faggots.

are you a brony?

How else do you describe a girl who buys loot crate and has played over 400 hours of sims 3?

Okay, a disability isn't really a disease. I miss spoke.

Yea but I could kill you 20 different ways

>They don't treat the symptoms of the disease, but they stimulate you so that your productive anyways.
Nah Vyvanse pretty much treats the symptoms. Depends on the med.

That's the norm so the term looses all meaning.

'sitting on me' only counts as one, no matter how many ways you phrase it

Judging from this post, you're just a sissy faggot.

Some girls and into being reminded of it, verbally and viciously.

Isn't the girliest cartoon Steven Universe though? I love them both.

>has played over 400 hours of sims 3?
That's crazy, but I believe you. Not that you're crazy or anything, just the thought of playing that game so many times is just mind boggling. How do you make it fun after the like 150hr mark?

>miss spoke.
Your stupidity never ceases.

>not you're
Not trying hard enough.

How can you tell all that from just saying girly and masculine?

Does Rose play online FPS to get her rocks off then?

I don't want to drop to her level. It might be contagious.

>implications
/mlp/ is the fattest board but it's still not that fat, meanie.

Also, standing on you, rolling over you, stepping on you, eating you, etc.

Talking about your masculinity like that on the Internet just screams insecure faggot.

Not me, I'm talking about my friend. I don't own sims. Or loot crate.

Is this a good ship?

>play battlefield/cod/whatever
>pretend to be a boy
>GET GOOD YOU FUCKING FAG LOL CHECK THIS KD
>w-what did you call me?!
>muffled orgasms
I don't know how to feel

...

Not when it's in the same breath as calling yourself girly. Why would an insecure faggot do that on a board of anonymous strangers? I was trying to paint a more complete portrait of myself than if I'd only said the girly part. I couldn't care less how girly you think I am. You're a terrible read of character.

the original sims is (or was) the best-selling video game of all time at one point, several years post-release. Some people really really like their sims.

It's a bit unusual to see someone put in that many hours in any non-multiplayer game, but sims I believe (and it's not even that weird!)

Prince of Rage
Destroy rage and Destroy with rage. I'm the mommy of the group when everyone's at eachother's throats. Make sure these chumps keep their shit in check, probably by beating the piss out of them. Can probably tap into god-tier tantrums and wreck shit. Despite the rage powers would probably be a pretty chill dude.

Ah, my bad, sorry. About the other bit though, I normally get bored after the first or second generation. Then again, 3 has been out for quite a while now I guess.

DAAAAMN Karkat looks BAKED!

This girl makes a new family every time she boots it up. I will never understand.

Same reason why people say "I may be bad but at least I'm not x!!!". It's a shield for your ego half-assedly disguised as self-awareness. The fact that you bring this up at all is proof enough that you're an insecure faggot.

You're Kurloz.

Nah people can like talking about themselves and not be insecure.

HSG did it first. HSG did it best.

wouldn't they just feel the need to impregnate girls?

That's feminine of you so you're still a faggot.

Knight of Space?

This is an interesting though experiment, I like where it's going.

No. breed players need to propagate, to be a cosmic forge for the new race. Impregnating others is only a temporary fix.

Why would that guy be a Knight of Space? Did you reply to the wrong post?

Yeah my bad I was referring to the guy he was talking to.

I'm a PoS... er, Prince of Space.

ive been reading homestuck/ps forever, i played a guitar solo over heir of grief as a tribute

No it doesn't. I've put a lot of thought into my classpect. I'm curious why you say that though.

Karkat is bi tho

...

Isn't that by default? I thought that trolls didn't have a concept of bi/homo/heterosexuality.

Sounds like something out of a hentai.
>She actually pretends she doesn't like it to perpetuate it/treats liking it as a joke.
>She makes a whole Internet troll persona just to get off without anybody knowing she actually likes it.
>Uses the masturbation as "ironic joke" fuel.
>Reaching layers of passive-agressiviness and guarded personas unseen before to get her fap material just right.

The sprites (and by extension, the entire concept of SBURB) lose their entire relevance in the story in act 6. There's no point to speculate on their value or the value of any part of the plot when the author himself decides to cash in on romantic drivel at the cost of his integrity.

Nice Reddit meme.

No concept.

In the sense that heterosexuality is the default for humans. Kanaya is a gay troll.

Didn't Karkat have a thing with Terezi?

Who is the character in that image?

>In the sense that heterosexuality is the default for humans.
Not how it works.
Yes.

Seer of Doom

I presume I'd be able to see and subvert any doomed timelines or bad bullshit in general, so pretty damn useful. Problem is, I feel like I could get fucked up from seeing every potential gruesome thing happening to me and my friend happening.

>Not how it works.
You got what I meant you nitpicky fuck.

Your post was actually incredibly vague.

I like yours better user, I mean I tend to go for the cliches just because they work well oftentimes. Also I just like them.
Call me crazy, but i feel like its a bit weird to project our norms on an alien society that does not really have a parallel. Their anatomy is just somewhat similar I guess? Though the way they reproduce is wildly different.

Gumblin, from Whistles

You're missing the point of the alien thing.

>It's September 2016
>Andrew Hussie is still alive
There is no justice

I'm not projecting our norms. I'm saying he's attracted to both male and females. Whether or not that's the norm is irrelevant to the definition of "bisexual."

How do you know?

Shut up, idiot.

Hey do you happen to have a copy you could upload?

>classpects have to do with sexuality
>talking about Karkat's sexual attraction
*B8rps*

>Memeing

Only the second is noteworthy.

Karkat wasn't even relevant to the comic at all lmao

Is there a bot in here or something? More incoherent babbling than usual.

Vriskaposters, pls go.

Thanks fampai

This. Hussie wanted them to be deep and resolve dangling character arcs, but all they were good for was one funny image.

I can explain the first one. That comeback of "faggot" "no im bi XD" is so overdone that I'd only think to see it on Reddit. The other was just a shitpost

Honestly, Hivebent had some of the funniest moments in the entire comic. It marked the beginning of the downturn, though.

>Hussie wanted them to be deep and resolve dangling character arcs

Like hell he did, they were a cheap way out of things.
The stupid part is that they didn't NEED to exist. Davesprite flying away was fine. Hussie keeps bringing back or pulling up shit that didn't need pulling up. He can't leave anything alone.

>This isn't your life

jdimsa

Which one?

Murderstuck was.

>the last alchemy session was the tricksters
Feels fucking terrible man.

Dude there's tons of Jade cosplayers out there that are desperate to fuck any halfway good Dave, just take a chance

Tricksters did nothing wrong.

Depends on how you define worst.
>Most pointless
The Troll Dancestors
>Most disappointing
Feferi, Karkat
>Worst handled
Vriska post-retcon
>Most obnoxious
Calliope

She's decent, but bringing her back to life was the worst mistake Hussie ever made as it marked two things in the comic.
>The point where death was cheapened to the point of not mattering
>The point where Hussie established that only minor characters stay dead.

>Worst handled
You forgot Roxy.

>resolve dangling character arcs
Like what? Pretty sure their main purpose was an attempt to spice up the endgame, which plotwise was pretty damn mundane in a lot of ways.

I would imagine that a Knight of Void utilizes void in combat, phasing in and out of existence, attacking from multiple angles at once.

How is Calliope obnoxious? u_u

>so I'd just take that shit literally and fight barehanded, literally with 'nothing'
Like every Void player ever? You don't say.

>in a lot of ways
In all ways.

They're probably all married off.

>only 3
>one isn't even shown fighting
>another uses a gun half the time
You fail at being smug.

Murderstuck in and of itself was actually pretty good. Create some tension in a boring and static setting, trim some of the fat in the cast, and create a new antagonist. The issue was the resolution, which was anti-climatic and basically made death feel less meaningful.

dude there's no end to slutty Jade cosplayers, they're the bread and butter of homestuck cosplay

>half
You fail at counting.

Nah. Roxy is literally the only character that makes the Alpha Kids even slightly bearable.

No, Murderstuck was awful. The murders felt contrived, the deaths meaningless, it lead to LOL CLOWN, got rid of Feferi and Eridan, etc.

Useless character that everyone sucked up to. Was meant to be a self insert for the worst parts of the fandom, which made her an incredibly uninteresting character.

It's a general term. Am I really supposed to know what percentage of the time Roxy used her gun? What does this have to do with counting?

>It's a general term
Source? No it's not. People just exaggerate often.

>Am I really supposed to know what percentage of the time Roxy used her gun?
You're supposed to know that she's never seen firing a gun and is seen fighting with her hands, yes.

Because she was funny. Her alcoholism arc was poorly handled and she was generally just a shittily developed character among other things. Dirk was the best character in the Alphas, Roxy was the most entertaining.

>deaths meaningless
At the time they created tension and trimmed a cast that frankly was too big. It became meaningless later on, but that was mostly thanks to later events.

>it lead to LOL CLOWN
He was that before Murderstuck too. At least Gamzee was actually intimidating for a short period during that arc before becoming a joke once again.

>got rid of Feferi and Eridan
I see nothing wrong with that. They were easily the worst trolls.

>that one fic where Rose dresses as Roxy on April Fools
>John and Roxy have a hardcore fuck session during that day and John mistakes Rose for her
>shenanigans ensue

>that other fic where Dave gets kidnapped by Roxy and Jane
>it was supposed to be a harmless surprise party gag, but they see his swelling boner

>another fic where Jade tries out lesbianism with Rose, but it gets boring for her and she uses her space powers to spice things up

That's what I meant.

Whatever, you know what I mean.

>Not liking best human
Shit taste

>They were easily the worst trolls
Karkat and Vriska?

Yeah, I can agree with that. Roxy's alcoholism was clearly pushed to the wayside because Hussie wrote himself into a corner when he forgot to give the Alpha Kids an character that wasn't angsty about relationships.

The deaths meant nothing to the characters. All of them happening next to each other felt ridiculous.

I'd rather him have died than slowly devolve into a plot device- which Murderstuck lead to.

Those are bad tastes. Nepeta and Gamzee were clearly the worst.

We're talking about a time before Act 6.

So, Vriska and Karkat?

And the most infuriating thing is that the general concepts for the Alpha Kids could have been great (even for drama) without the romance bullshit.

I feel like his arc and his relationship with Jake could have been handled far better. As it is, we're told he was a shitty boyfriend, but then they never really resolve that organically. It probably would have helped if he wasn't out of commission for so long.

If you were to give a percentage breakdown of good vs bad, what would homestuck get?

I'll go with a solid 25% good to 75% bad, myself.

Yeah, it did get kind of tiresome.
I guess I just really loved how Feferi's and Kanaya's deaths were handled, along with Sober Gamzee's first conversation.

It's more like, 65% good and 35% bad for me.

Now that the dust has settled can we admit the Intermission is overall the best written portion of Homestuck

By per second of reading it? 85% good.

Feferi's death, no. Kanaya's death, yes (but it was undone for lol lesbians)

Sober Gamzee didn't feel right in any way; I dunno'.

The Midnight Crew one? Yeah, I can agree with that. Best humor, fun Hussie Horseshit, no filler.

Some user a few threads ago tried cosplaying as Dave at a con and when there was no Jades ended up fucking a Karkat.

Maid of Blood ... what the fuck does blood mean in this case?

And he found out it was a guy at the last second.

The homestuck board on 8-chan doesn't even discuss homestuck.

mage of rage and i have no clue what that means other than i get sweet purple mage duds

why are you saying this like it's news

Sound familiar?

Are rainbow drinkers ever explained at all? Is Kanaya hard to "kill" since she's already dead?

What do they do?

No. No?

It's explained as being a power innate to Kanaya's caste, and she's basically undead. Not much more than that, I think.

Mage of Time

I'm late for everything

>innate
Does that mean all jade bloods are rainbow drinkers?

>Rose fucks a living corpse.
She probably thinks it's goth as fuck too.2617

i miss equius, he was my favorite

I find that hard to believe there would be no Jades, when she's the easiest cosplay to pull off.

Ayyy, I see what you did there.

Every character in Homestuck deserved better. Except Nepeta and Calliope.

All Jade Bloods can potentially be Rainbow Drinkers.

>potentially
They just have to die?

It's suggested as such in one of the Meenahquests. Jadeboods were incredibly rare so it's not out of the question.

Jizzee deserved worse.

Talk about random crap,
His character would have being better if he was a girl.

It's a dedicated shitposting and blogging board for a few ex-hsg regulars. They're completely open about it.

>His character would have being better if he was a girl.
Why?

Who?

>Jade dies alone.

Is this one better?

Somebody make this into a happy bellyrub with Dave.

I tried but I have no sprites of Dave with his arm outstretched that could work.

You have to make it. Find a sprite with an arm and work from there.

I'll do god's work tomorrow, right now i'm tired

That shit wouldn't fly if you were an angel.

Good thing I'm a guy just making bellyrub sprite edits

That's what angels do, user.

Prove it

Everyone but me is wrong, I am always right

The worst concept of the comic was the ending, what a fucking cocktease, what a fucking load of garbage.

>Hey huss did I waste a chunk of my life reading your comic?
Yes user, yes you did

...

It's not an emotion, you numbnuts!

No, killing off all the trolls before character development was.

God told me.

It's the journey, not the destination.
You enjoyed it for a while, right? That's what counts. Letting the end ruin it for you is like the scenario/trope where you get in a fight with a loved one and they die and you lament the last thing you said to them being that you hate them. It's the majority of the experience and what you take away from it that is valuable, not the last part that defines everything.

Does everyone need character development?

Basically.

>musical tribute
>far away from the mic

nepeta becomes a boy

goddamn massive improvement

Submissive men are rare. He's already perfect.

VRISKA IS A FAT DUMB WHORE!

Nepeta did nothing wrong. Nobody deserved Davepeta.

She is my favourite character, I love her design, especially her hair, her dialogue is really funny and entertaining in canon and I find her to be one of the truly likeable trolls who I would actually want to hang out in real life. Oh and she is also kind of my waifu haha.

>His character would have being better if he was a girl.
There was nothing wrong with Equius's character, although I'm surprised the Mary Sue Brigade™ hasn't started campaigning against Equius yet, because he doesn't have a lot of flaws. I'm guessing he's too close to Caliborn, their husbando, for them to see it.

>When exactly did the comic go wrong?
I'll tell you when: the moment it stopped being the fun RPG/text adventure nostalgia coming-of-age Hussie had originally intended it to be. At one point, Homestuck became a testing grounds for all of Hussie's "subversive" ideas (read: anticlimaxes, shitty letdowns, and the desire to frustrate the reader on purpose with no narrative or emotional payoff).

So when was that? Personally, I'd pinpoint it to whenever Hussie came up with the concept of a manipulative asshole character that was supposed to retroactively become a main protagonist behind major plot points, get away with horrible shit, never learn and generally exist to get fans to argue with each other and frustrate the reader the whole way through.

Before that, the trolls were salvageable, all of them. They could all fit in the story because the story was about learning and growing up. When Hussie introduced Vriska, it was to shit all over this touching story he'd crafted, and that's when his personal fetishes for disappointing and "trolling" took over. That's when Homestuck stopped being a coming-of-age story and became a depressing ironic postmodern soap opera jenga tower of bullshit.

To a certain extent, I think Gamzee might qualify too, because it's nearly the exact same kind of shit but with a "lol killer clown" theme slapped on it. Not sure this concept came first, though.

...

>a chunk of my life
Even if you feel that way it's a pretty small chunk, depending on how much rereading you did. It's not like you read Malazan and decided you didn't like it at the end. If I recall the numbers correctly, Homestuck is like reading ASoIaF, watching a 40-hour anime, and then playing a short JRPG. Not exactly the investment people act like it is. It's mostly the time you spent interfacing with the fandom that you wasted. Ask not the Huss if your time was wasted, ask ourselves.

Hope that makes you feel better.

What? A site going down doesn't mean it's off the internet forever. You scared me.

...

a lot of people started reading homestuck as teens in 2009-2012. 4 to 7 years is a big chunk of your life when you're 20-ish.

he put a chip in aradia's heart to make her love him
he LITERALLY let nepeta and himself die because of his metaphorical and literal hard-on for the caste system, which was something that came up on a fairly regular basis and helped paint him as embarrassing, creepy and controlling
and he was! he never magically overcame those flaws. in fact, he generally tried to act in good faith despite them. not to mention he sincerely apologized to nepeta for his actions.

can you say anything of the sort about, say, roxy? don't get me wrong, i don't think she's a mary sue, but her controlling tendencies and alcohol problems (basically equivalent to equius's fantasy racism) were both magic'd away when it was convenient to do so. which, let's be honest, sucks.

but yeah, that's why i think people are going after roxy and not equius. that'd be like going after tavros, because he tried his best and succeeded. nevermind the list of genuine flaws and mistakes he displays through the comic, a good deal of which remain untouched. completely absurd.

...

it's funny how people say tavros got a satisfying resolution when he also got the most fucked over by becoming gcatavrosprite

>Jade: sex before marriage

That's a lie and you know it!

...

Jade eventually marries Dave, but before that she jumps him every chance she gets.

I can't believe Dave impregnated Jade, Roxy, Rose and Jane at the same time...

...

Impregnating more than one girl at a time is John's job, Dave's lucky that his pathetic weak sperm could even make it to one girl.

So this is how we die for good.

Drowning in Kanayas.

A fitting end, all in all. I accept our fate.

John is busy fucking Terezi.

Handy guide:
John: Sexes all
Jade: Rapes strider
Jane: Sexes none
Jake: Raped by strider

She can't mean...

actually thinking about it more, isn't it literally the same tavros? the tavros that was in the dreambubbles was also the alpha one that vriska killed, and the retcon doesn't cause an offshoot timeline

I think you pinpointed the point wrong. I mean, even after the beginning of the scratch the story was still fun and interesting. Sure, it lost part of its steam, but it still had something in it.

It was by the time all the Alphas entered the Void session that it truly went downhill. It all went fo 4 teenagers that couldn't get their shit together and that after 4 fucking months. Hell, in a single month being the only inhabitants of a god forsaken universe is enough for people to either go insane or get their shit straighted out, bu nooooo.

Hussie jumped 4 months as if nothing happened aside characters becoming whiny. Then the Betas and surviving trolls went too through the needless year-to-year timeskip. Hell, that WAS truly senseless because all the oportunities they had to interact via dreams was thrown out the window. and all shit they went through wasn't seen and then the small bits we saw were retconned.

So, if I were to say what part of it made all go wrong, I guess it would be the timeskips. Because Hussie is worst at time-skips than he is at romance. He can't regard events through timeskips well nor understand how it is supposed to work nor importance and utility in a story

Had he went through Cascade - Few days for the Betas - New session.
Simultaneously as Alphas - Sure, maybe a month or so in their session to show how hopeless it is - Betas arrive.

Everything could have gone much, MUCH better.

''Gee user, what about Aranea and the dead''

THE FIRST FIVE THOUSAND PAGES OF HOMESTUCK HAPPEN INA SINGLE DAY, WITHOUT TIMESKIPS IN A WEEK WE COULD GET CONTENT FOR 10 FUCKING YEARS WITHOUT NEEDING TO SCREW UP THE CHARACTERS.

Hell, even the fucking retcons wouldn't be so bad, because we could easily go through a change of a few days than fucking 3 years of story jumped over!

Fuck you Hussie and FUCK YOU TUMBLR THAT DARES DEFEND ALL OF THAT MESS!

She can't mean what?

...

...suck on his toes...

Oh, ok, that wasn't what I had in mind, but sure.
