To get a discussion started: I'm kind of irritated that this is like the third time something like this has happened - I've just gotten to the page where it explains that all 12 players are in one session... and there's absolutely no buildup. First it was done with the computer "totally unexpectedly" exploding, then with Aradia, and now with this. I feel that it could really have been a good in-depth story, but instead it was just very anticlimactically revealed.
you should probably go before things get spoiled for you. I waited until I finished the comic to join the threads
Ethan Jackson
I won't bother to even pretend to understand the letdown I've heard everybody else experienced after the pauses, but this is still stupid IMO.
Tons of things have been spoiled for me outside the thread already, unfortunately, due to exposure to friends and the internet in general, so it's mostly too late for me I guess.
Sebastian Collins
DESU I'm not really offended by that. A5A1 was a sidestory, and we didn't need to waste time
Besides, if you think about it, it was obvious that the teams were bullshit - we'd already seen the trolls tell the kids that they had a twelve-player session, so for anyone who was paying attention this was a foregone conclusion.
Chase Allen
Hussie is now known as the king of anticlimax, dodging content by having it happen "off camera", and overall being a hack. You already fucked up by reading past Act 4 anyway.
Camden Adams
Act 5 is climactic as fuck, Cascade is amazing
It's reading past that that's a mistake
Brody Howard
No, trolls were a mistake.
Justin Reed
...
Eli Moore
A5A1 is slow but at least it's short
A5A2 is awesome as fuck
Ethan Fisher
Say what you will. I'm glad I finished it.
Ethan Sanders
I know this has been said a bunch of times already, but I really wish more focus was on the "game" aspect of it. It doesn't seem all that critical to the plot (yet?), so why go to the trouble of setting it up instead of just making up some shit about how the trolls something-something ancient technology? I get that that's been hinted at by Sollux somehow finding something in the ruins, but that specifically added detail where none was really needed.
Noah Walker
Last thread died almost immediately after I posted this, so reposting:
Large versions are, in order: 9x2cm, 7.5x7.5cm, 5x5cm; small versions are ???x???, 3.75x3.75cm, ???x???; will probably make half- and 3/4-scale versions if anybody wants those, but they won't be as detailed and probably won't be articulated much, if at all.
I expect to be more free next week and get some more models out. If there's anything else you guys want made request it; I'll be officially taking commissions sometime within the next two weeks or so.
Samuel Scott
It is critical to the plot. Keep reading.
Joseph Lee
act 5 act 1was rushed through the only way to enjoy the trolls is pick a favorite one and then hope they remain relevant throughout the story
Jacob Gutierrez
How did you make these?
Camden Richardson
Lookin' real good so far.
you gonna finish out the set with a punch designex?
Chase Barnes
>the only way to enjoy the trolls is pick a favorite one and then hope they remain relevant throughout the story
Parker Peterson
Am I wrong?
Brayden Williams
3D printed. Made the models myself, though, pic related.
I don't know. Popular opinion is that nobody really wants it/cares, from what I see, but it should be relatively simple to make, and some people probably want a full set and not just the main three.
Gabriel Young
Which 3D printer did you use? And what modeling software?
Joseph Myers
Let's see: Relevant trolls: -Vriska -Karkat -The other Vriska -Sometimes Terezi but she's unlikable to begin with and only gets worse
Irrelevant Trolls: -Everyone else
Kayden Russell
Yes. I enjoyed the trolls and none of my favorites were particularly main characters.
Kanaya counts
Joshua Sullivan
>Kanaya counts Maybe her feet do when you look at them go
Carson Bell
Prusa i3, Blender.
I have a tumblr if you'd like to keep an eye on progress and further models: crimsonprinting.tumblr.com
Ayden Butler
These look fantastic 3dAnon, nice work!
Eli Smith
There are no trolls you could possibly be happy with, unless you're a desperate Tavros fan willing to take what they can get or someone who gets off to Vriska domination i.e. Andrew Hussie.
Joshua Parker
Thanks. I guess I'll make the punch designix next to round it out as someone mentioned above, shouldn't take too long. I do wish that the Totem Lathe was in less parts, though; kind of a pain to finish/assemble. Thinking of combining the computer-thing to the base, and adding the L-frame onto the base as well; would ease assembly/printing time and I wouldn't have to fiddle as much with it.
Overall I'm pretty pleased with how everything came out though.
James Reyes
>finding any happiness from Tavros He's literally the worst troll.
Josiah Rivera
Umm Aradia?
>Having such awful taste
Anthony Gray
Why are you happy with Aradia?
Jonathan Cooper
She's cute!
Cute!
Nathan Lewis
Kanaya does like two things in Act 5 (gets killed by Eridan, kills Eridan) and does literally nothing in Act 6
Blake Bell
aradia is purdy
Kevin Robinson
>Let's see: >Relevant trolls: >-Vriska
no problem here. One waifu for laifu
Christopher Jackson
Yeah, I guess that's the kind of response I was expecting. Thanks.
Joseph Perez
I worked up a little gif-animation following a fantroll I've been working on all day. Basic idea was this Troll was an exaggerated version of Shaggy from Scooby Doo and his Lusus is a giant great dane that raises bronzebloods until they turn 6 sweeps old, then hunts them and commits to this cycle until a psychic can control or kill it. If it seems like the ward will develop the abilities and is in stages of doing either condition, it'll jump right into hunt mode.
Pic is a scene where Varroc's psychic noise triggers his lusus into going into hunt mode, around when he is 4 1/2 sweeps old. His all caps quirk comes in after a sweep or so of being hunted by his caretaker, as well as more of his neurotic personality.
Adam Gomez
She was relevant to the interpersonal developments between characters. Relevant to the story =/= relevant to achieving objectives.
Isaiah Cook
I'm assuming you're OP based on your opinion of Vriska
Joshua Rodriguez
>interpersonal developments between characters >is relegated to being furniture in the background of the conversations of other characters with the same unsure look on her face
Aaron Reyes
OP here, am not that guy
Leo Carter
Isn't she in a bunch of pesterlogs in act 6?
Brandon Brown
>elevant to the interpersonal developments between characters She and Rose spend two years banging, that's about it
Ryan Ramirez
Holy shit, she really does have that sort of vaguely confused look going on throughout most of Act 6
Landon Reed
How many of them are memorable/worth reading?
Do you even remember them?
Benjamin Stewart
Nope. I'm one of these....I guess rare....faggots who actually liked Vriskas and (Vriskas) development.
Considering their situations they felt to me like one of the most natural developing characters
Jeremiah Clark
For Classpectanon whenever they get back
I just realized Didide, Phileq, and Büjorn have an unrequited hate-triangle going on and that is giving me terrible, terrible ideas
Justin Brooks
The only reason I tolerate Vriska is because she 8ullies the character I hate the most.
Nathan Rogers
Vriska's development felt so unnatural to me post-doomed john than I still maintain she was replaced by a skinwalker while wondering through the desert.
Landon Ross
I just think it's sad that (Vriska) seemed so much better than Vriska.
Tavros did nothing wrong.
Grayson Diaz
>Lusus keeps killing trolls until someone can kill or control it Holy fuck tghats brutal... I like it
Bentley Lewis
Wow, Vriska sure is a huge bitch.
Andrew Reyes
What was the deal with that "Karkat is meditating" thing? What was he actually doing?
Jayden Gonzalez
He unironically uses the word "irregardless".
Zachary Wood
getting cucked
Andrew Rodriguez
nah shes fine he deserved it
Hunter Moore
Considering Spidermom exists I wanted to make another Lusus that wasn't considered 'good' by any Troll unlucky enough to have them as their caretaker.
Spidermom is a special kind of evil considering she requires other trolls to be brought to her for consumption or eats her ward instead. The dog at least goes through the trouble of rearing their wards until they start to head into the cusp of adulthood or rebel; that's when shit goes bananas.
Liam Lee
I've been using Blender for a year and a half now and had never knew it could import vectors. Thank you for this shocking revelation
Gabriel Sanders
Of course she did. She actually self-reflected and shit, because she got defeated and got a shit ton of time dealing with boredom, which leads someone to think more about stuff.
Vriska on the other hand just got even more confident
Jaxon Harris
This was one of my favorite tavros moments
Levi Wood
I remember this specific scene being the moment when I just exploded with rage towards Vriska, and then sat back and said "Wow, that's a great character! I'm actually, literally feeling real-life anger towards a fictional being. That's some compelling villainy there!" I can count on one hand the number of times I've felt actual anger towards fictional characters, and this was one of them.
I'll always love Vriska for what a completely, irredeemably horrible person she is.
Jayden Bell
Cards on the table, people. Let's see your ships.
But wait! Let's not be boring and pedantic with the "pale/flushed/ahsen/etc" stuff we've seen before. Let's do something a bit different.
I propose these four designations: 1) "Like for reasons supported by canon." 2) "Like for reasons unsupported by canon." 3) "Liked it until it was ruined by the comic." 4) "Like to hate it for how repulsive it is."
Liam Taylor
Reminder vriska was a PERFECTLY justifiable character and inclusion ... until act 6
Ryan Butler
what fhe fuck is that abomination next to caliborn
Camden Morales
All of the interesting ones were from the "Game Over" timeline, where she had some personal stakes and conflict to deal with. The "real" Kanaya never got anything interesting to say or do after Act 5, just like Karkat.
Michael Baker
So far we've gotten comics for:
>John: Faggots to maggots >Jade: Impregnation or laceration >Rose "hotpocket" Lalonde
When are we getting a Dave "Cock in my ass or you get the gas" Strider comic?
I think someone was trying to be lulzy by adding Nic Cage. I have no use for that inclusion, but have at it.
Charles Davis
Hussie x Infinitely fat Vriska is the only real ship
Justin Morales
...
Dominic Gonzalez
>infinitely fat Vriska unf muh fetish
Lincoln Howard
There was no buildup because most people saw it coming a mile away, like all the 'twists' in hivebent
Charles Nguyen
Sure, have fun.
Colton Jones

Luke Clark
I thought Hussie had Hella Jeff on his arm?
Brandon Wright
Sorry that I messed up the last OP guys
Camden Watson
Probably my favorite ass in HS fanart.
Nicholas Foster
I was at Hot Topic today and they had Homestuck shirts on the wall.
Were they bootlegs? Is there some kind of deal on?
Julian Lopez
here are some fantrolls some people requested last night
Elijah Martinez
nice
Cameron Barnes
He's getting everything that makes up LE tattooed on him so he can never forget his failures as a storyteller.
Kayden Fisher
aw man those are adorable. please do mine if you find the time!
Ethan Hughes
Why is this a thing
What has happened to this man?
Gavin Gomez
>Karkat >Relevant >any other troll besides vriska being relevant
The only thing relevant about Karkat is that he becomes the bottom
Jacob Sanchez
Whatever happened to that egyptian fantroll and that cloun fantroll with the shotgun?
Brody Lee
Where did you get this image? Twitter?
How is SBAHJ part of LE? What did I miss?
Isaiah Moore
>Dave goes on an SJW rant with Karkat >Announces to him that if he doesn't fuck his ass right there and then he's a homophobe >Shot of Karkat tied up and crying while Dave rides him and ranting about the patriarchy
Aiden Brown
It's supposed to represent dirk's auto responder
Evan White
vriska was likable until hussie decided that he didn't want people to like her
Daniel Clark
Why? Because Dirk likes SBAHJ?
Charles Walker
so hey guys
cromara
Jacob Campbell
>Rose "hotpocket" Lalonde
any link to this comic?
Ian Watson
yeeesss thank you! is nok eating some poor trolls mouse lusus?
Josiah Cox
Vriska was unlikable until Hussie decided he wanted people to like her
Then she was downright hateable
Luis Gomez
It's the same shitty tattoo dirk got while he was butt buddies with Jake.
Kayden Sanders
>vriska was likable until hussie decided to bring her back to life and force her to be relevant at all times for no real reason besides getting to draw his waifu more ftfy
Michael Rivera
>go looking for art >deviantart now has a big "turn off your ad-blocker" sign on every single page
FUCKING WHY
Jaxon Miller
what cute art! do you mind sharing your blog?
steel p much quit homestuck
Benjamin Watson
he never did draw that new ara comic with his sexy drawing abilities...
Caleb Reed
This shit is why it bugs me on principle when people just dismiss fantrolls; because a lot of times the ideas people come up with them are VASTLY better than what Hussie bothered.
David Ortiz
>looking for art at deviantart I found your problem.
