>doesn't contribute to the story >gets fucked over for no reason >gets fucked over again and his waifu stolen >after retcon bullshit, reduced as joke character and trophy wife for another character to become a commercial "progressive" gay pairing and Hussie's welfare check to fund Hiveswap >there are people who actually read his self-memos and hoped he would be a good character
Should he have stayed dead? At least he could encourage Meenah and Vriska to continue with the ghost army plan.
God, I feel so sorry for his fans. They must be butthurt as fuck for eternity.
Was Karkat ever important? During Hivebent I seem to recall him doing a whole lot of nothing as his friends were murdered
Nathan Ward
apparently he managed to keep the session together long enough to win but that was never shown
Christian Smith
man these salty ops are fuckin lame. were you actually sitting at your computer thinking 'lets find out what Sup Forums thinks of karkat's arc! i wonder what their opinions will be? maybe ill drop in a bit about davekat to see what they think of that, too!'
Austin Diaz
He was killed to prove how bad-ass a villian character is. This is the girlfriend in the fridge moment.
Ian Nelson
what, gamzee? who died immediately after and never left the fridge post-retcon?
Gavin Johnson
Your garbage autism web comic is over. fuck off to /trash/
Anthony Green
bump
Grayson Brown
wow this is so dead why dont you just let it die?
Aaron Garcia
Why couldn't Hussie just let her die?
Why did he have to introduce an in-story retcon to bring her back?
Brayden Carter
Hussie purposefully created her to be a meta character the narrative revolves around, no matter the damage this would do to the story.
He's made it clear that Homestuck is "his cow"; he only writes it to entertain himself. Pointless and pretentious subversion, aka trolling the reader, is his main form of entertainment.
He does not care about creating a good story, because "good" is subjective and having expectations about what some 37 year old man writes in his free time means you're a Picky Little Bitch.
"TIA."
Elijah Nguyen
this but unironically
Jose Ramirez
hst will never stop being butthurt about karkat's arc
Eli Martinez
It's all on his formspring, you know.
Jayden Bell
Everyone should have stayed dead.
William Morgan
Then Act 7 is indeed the most brilliant part of Homestuck, because Hussie subverted expectations that it would be good
SASUGA HUSSIE!
Ryder Cook
Delet This
Cooper Butler
I don't usually browse /hsg/ but were there really expectations that Act 7 would be good?
Logan Turner
There were expectations in the sense that an old man dying of cancer expects there to be an After Life
The hope didn't make any sense, but it was there
Chase Lee
I remember skimming through MSPA forums during Omegapause. There was a discussion about the worst possible ending for Homestuck. One of these faggots literally said "if Vriska stays dead, that would be the worst possible ending".
Brayden Evans
I can't believe the fucking whore stole karkat's main character role...
Eli Anderson
she was already revived by that point
Lincoln Morales
You know, half of the reason Vriska's revival is so bad is because she really does nothing to earn it
Terezi feels bad and John gains Jesus Powers, then saves Vriska when he can also very easily save good people like Nepeta and Equius and Feferi, but doesn't.
It feels like something a sociopath would write
Josiah Anderson
Will Xefros end up being what Karkat should have been?
now that i know he's a butler i like him a lot more
Joseph Phillips
Whose Butler is he? I've always liked the idea of just some normal dude trying to survive in Batshit Crazy Troll society
Jace Lewis
Yeah, normal... about that...
Ryder Foster
>Vriska What did he mean by this
Nathaniel Gonzalez
no idea all we know is that he buts
Benjamin Nelson
See I don't get the need for Vriska to be a Meta Mary Sue
When people talk about liking Vriska they talk about liking the Giant Cunt of Act 5, not the Grunty Good Guy in Act 6 who always talks about how she used to be a Giant Cunt
They're almost two different characters
Ian Thompson
its a joke. theres no 'need' for anything. it had pretty shit execution but so did everything at that point in the comic
Camden Walker
What point did ^2 sprites even serve?
Samuel Taylor
What's the joke with Vriska?
Adrian Brown
He had to give closure to Davesprites story without just murdering the dude.
Samuel Brown
It gave us Jasprosesprite, which is perfect seizure waifu material with tentacles and purple/pink glowing cummies
Zachary Flores
lmfao at people asking what the 'point' was of things that happen in homestuck
James Edwards
terezi...
Austin Rivera
...is a whore....
Landon Howard
So we didn't forget Homestuck is a ~whimsical adventure~.
Gavin Williams
Yeah, it really is an absurd development. Vriska is a textbook narcissist and she faces no opposition and learns nothing, whereas Terezi is psychologically fragile and emotionally dependent on her. And John is the all-powerful bystander idiot, with no motives of his own, simply following what Terezi says, unable to process things like "my dad is dead" or "I could save literally everyone".
Oh, sure, you could say John didn't save everyone because "retcon changes must be subtle to not destabilize the whole timeline", but that explanation makes no sense, since Vriska's revival was anything but subtle. The whole thing is extremely disturbing - if there's any philosophy to be found in Homestuck, then it is no sane man's.
It's hard to think that Hussie once wanted Homestuck to be about growing up and friendship... and we got none of that in the end. Maybe he should have stuck to writing what he knew.
Same as Gamzee, I think. They're both treated in absurd ways by the narrative to the point of destroying suspension of disbelief. The joke is on the reader for expecting these characters to change.
Hudson King

Blake Mitchell
...tavros' virginity...
Carson Davis
...the plot...
Jacob Johnson
>if there's any philosophy to be found in Homestuck, then it is no sane man's. i feel like there originally was going to be something about breaking fate in the story, but that was thrown away after hussie's life turned to shit

Nathaniel Jackson
the actual term is "buttle"
Evan Taylor
Yeah, Karkat is a fucking loser who needs to die and 8e replaced by the gr8 Vriska.

What are you hoping for in Hiveswap?
Sebastian Parker
>expecting A7 to be good After the dumpster fire that was A6A6, anyone who thought A7 would be anything other than an abortion was deluding themselves
Josiah Ramirez
I don't know if Hussie's quite in sociopath territory, but he's definitely an S-rank autist
Eli Hill
a6a6 was great literally until vriskagram
Kayden Wilson

Cameron Gonzalez
I didn't expect the ending to fix A6A6's garbage, but I was thinking it would at least give us some closure and let us move on
AND THEN IT DIDN'T SEE YOU NEXT YEAR FOR THE EPILOGUE. MAYBE. :^)
Jose Reyes
>that one fic where Karkat strangulates Hussie and saves Homestuck
Jack Jenkins
A6 in general was never great, but it could have been redeemed at any point prior to the Vriskagram
That was when Homestuck passed the Shit Event Horizon

In retrospect it is extremely meta how the author of act 8's self-insert is Sylph of Rage
Mason Ward
Oooooooooooooh. She's trying to heal our rage.
John Reed
no, she's inviting the creation of rage.
Chase Roberts
You know shit about classpects.
Carter Bennett
Seems more like a Page of Rage, if you ask me. :^)
Cameron Perez
IF she is symbolizing anyone is the fandom's scum. Because any amateur retard is able to keep normal designs instead of blacknifying and fattening. Not to mention those retards dialogues that seem to have been made by someone writing his first fanfiction
Brayden Hall

Do you miss her?
Oliver Hughes
Yes. And I use this therm unironically.
Evan Rivera

Aaron Roberts
everything about act 8 was worth it solely for this image
Joseph Stewart
Hussie saw that all the Tumblr users were creaming themselves over Steven Universe and the fusions in that show, so he had to throw that into his comic just like he did an Undertale reference.
Blake Barnes
just like he had to make everyone gay because of korra's finale hussie doesn't write stories so much as he compiles memes
