I feel it started to sink after all the Alpha Kids entered the game. Like, we get it, Void session is unbeatable, they tried 4 months and got nothing. Jake even pointed out the monsters were strong as hell, but barely wielded grist, but still...
I feel they became caught up on too much drama. Like, they were there for 4 whole months. Wouldn't by that time they already have dealt with all that shit?
Also, on the Betas and Trolls side, would it kill someone to have them meet each other in the dream bubbles? Or for the dead to meet the living to reconcile or something like that?
Hell, we could have get more participation for some characters at least? Jane and Jake did barely anything from the Void session all the way to Collide. Maybe some interaction, them talking to each other sorting their shit?
It's not as if any of these things could have been hard to implement or would be difficult. If he can make 3 Earthbound-like minigames, he could have spared a few pages into that. It's not as if it was impossible.
What you guys think was the downfall?

I've always held that the dream bubbles were the beginning of the end. Homestuck was already starting to show some bloat with alternate timeline selves and whatnot, but the dream bubbles magnified the problem hugely. Not only do those alternate selves pile up, but they can't even get pruned off by dying.
Plus the whole thing about making death not have an impact, of course.
Jose Ward
Wow, what a weird thing to say

tldr; He got creative ADD, took the wrong advice from the wrong people, and straight up got greedy with the timing of his projects. He learned all the WRONG lessons from Problem Sleuth.

It's sad how we have resorted to pretending Homestuck was never good, just to the pain slightly easier to bear. Or pretending that Act 7 was perfectly OK for the same reason. The truth - that Homestuck was good and went downhill to crash down spectacularly - is a hard cross to bear.

How would we make Homestuck great again?
I saw it's done by returning to our roots. 4 kids and just 4 kids.

homestuck not being good has been a meme ever since we've had threads about homestuck it's just self-deprecating fans, nothing remarkable there

Oliver Davis
pretty much this desu, it was posted in a previous thread that hussie said pre-pauses that if he ever took a break hed lose the flow of things, and as ipgd said, the gigapause was largely due to the odd gentleman cunts, even if that fiasco didnt occur hussie would still have divulged more into tying the comic into the game, losing traction imo. isnt there some saying that you shouldnt do the things you parody or something along those lines? pretty much that with huss and vidyagames

>TT: Though in light of the recent assassinations, her slumbering attraction to the void probably works to her advantage. No one ever knows where she is. Okay so lalonde is void to roses light, neat. Jane is Life to John's Breath, Jake is a page of hope to Witch of space and that leaves Time to whatever Di-Stri is. 24

It's actually pronounced Roy, the X is silent

I remember all the theorizing behind her's and Strider's name. What were you thinking RoLal's name was gonna be?
Nicholas Perez
oh come on you're definitely rusing now
Jayden Scott
you say it like 'roy' btw
Julian Hill
I think I was shooting for Dirk to be Dick. Roxy didn't have a lot of options though so I think a lot of us just accepted that it would be Roxy before it happened.
Josiah Ross
You're making up rules that never existed
Logan Wright
roxy I don't even know if there's any other female names that start with "Ro"
Daniel King
Oh god, I remember people complaining about this. And Hussie coming back a day or so later with, "I never said only one syllable. Four letters, yeah, but not one syllable. Just most four letter names are one syllable, so the others all were.
Sebastian Moore
gaaaaaaaaaay
Jose Morales
Rose.
Samuel Flores
i found out the other day that people were predicting 'dixx' to mirror the chromosome thing at the end of roxy. but fucking dixx strider. god damn
Nathan Ramirez
Not american, how you even spell rose in a single syllable?
Jeremiah Hill
dixx strider would have been great it's a shame that dirk had to be such a wet blanket about everything, including his name
Nathaniel Hall
Dirk's the only one that got a decent amount of speculation (I was rooting for Dane). rMom's potential name list was like
Rene, Rita, Ruth, Roxy, Ruby
James Lopez
good morning
i wish they explored aradia's powers as the maid of time more
she has the ability to stop people in time and thats all we ever saw her do
i understand that she is a maid and that maids are apparently caretakers of their aspect but she plays the role a little too hard
jane wasnt obsessed with the nuances of life and making sure everybody who needed to be alive was alive taking care of the living and the dead honestly at times it felt like aradia was a much better maid of life than she was
is it possible that aradia simply is best girl and that she was just too cute and sexy for this story to handle
Thomas Rogers
No thats stupid I never thought about it, maybe Roch like hooch. There is no way the new strider isn't he isn't Dick Strider though. >John >Jade >Jane >Jake >Dave >Rose >not 1 syllables Hella dumb
