Was Homestuck good or fucking awful?

Haven't seen a Homestuck thread in a while, wanted to bring it. I had good memories of reading it but I also know that a lot of people fucking hated it.

>Was Homestuck good or fucking awful
yes
*ssshitposts a lottle*

Homestuck was solid, just flawed and faltered some places, especially near the end. I think Hussie just got tired of writing it, and after all those years who could blame him. Can't wait for whatever he does next, whenever that may be, his shit is excellent.

It was good, then it was great, then it was okay, then it was bad, then I gave up on it.

After Cascade it drops off severely in quality.
After Vriskagram it's an atrocity of the highest order, only defended by retards who liked it because boys kissed (but not really).

he's given up working on Hiveswap man, it's been a complete and utter train wreak, i'm surprised that most people don't even talk about it. i consider it the worst kickstarter project ever.

An excellent webcomic that displayed increasingly progressive values as time went on and gave appropriate time and characterization to the characters most willing to effect positive change for the betterment of reality. The frequent pauses were clearly worth the end quality of the product that was a masterpiece years in the making.

Homestuck is culturally relevant, and should be historically relevant as well in time and read by future generations. It opened the floodgates as a voice of a generation.

Homestuck is my all time favorite thing of all time. Out of any medium, ever. I owe most of my current aesthetic and narrative inspirations to it and I cannot imagine being the same person I am today without reading it. I started reading through it a couple months ago and have been slowly making my way through it, soaking up page after page of memorable art, characters, writing, and sheer overwhelming quality. That sounds like sarcasm, but it's not. I love it that much. I'm up to [S] Seer: Descend and I can safely say that I have 0 probelms with the comic whatsoever. I remember disliking most of the trolls and all of act 6 later on but rereading I fell in love with all of the trolls (including Feferi who I absolutely despised my first read through all those years ago) and I except to love act 6 as well on my second read through.

Everything after Game Over was a fucking mistake. You can argue that the Trolls were the nadir of the story all you want but the retcon shit made the comic truly irredeemable and removed literally all stakes from the comic.

Rereading, retard.

maybe, I mean act 6 is the turning point where things start to drop in quality.

You should probably have typed that out then, dumbass.

Average Homestuck fan, everybody.

I've no fucking clue, but like apparently everything else these days the batshit insane fanbase had me running for the hills rather than dare try to get into it.

yeah, everything up to A6A5 (which is where the comic went all out on obnoxious teen drama iirc) is honestly really good.

ACT 5 act 2 is the pinnacle of homestuck and threads on Sup Forums

any8ody who says otherwise was not here for high quality posting or was a johnrose shipper

act 6 ruined fucking everything

only things i felt like that were okay or good that come out after act 5, was dirk, caliborn and collide, everything else was degrading to the overall quality of homestuck

that's act 6, act 5 act2 was the act leading up to cascade

Post sicknasty Homestuck images

whoops, i meant the starting of the alpha kids to the end of the webcomic

>or was a johnrose shipper

>johnrose has a large number of dedicated fics written by anons for homestuck threads
>nearly everyone was a johnrose shipper while seer:descend was relevant

Act 5.2 was the only time johnrose was a popular ship and Homestuck General sure as hell wasn't safe from it.

both
it's a long fucking series

What's wrong with JohnRose

It's homophobic and very difficult for self-made lesbians like myself to deal with.

Vriska existed and was the obvious choice for John before Hussie was brainwashed by (((them)))

Act 6 and beyond is non-canon as far as I'm concerned

>obvious choice
>can't get pregnant
lol

We can't really blame him for when half the budget was literally stolen

it was like 400k out of 2.4 milion.

We can when he then spends the next four years failing to make an adventure game in unity, missing the deadlines he himself sets, hires a godawful writer with a terrible track record, and fails to communicate despite promises to do so.
Any good faith he acquired from the TOG incident has long faded away, this train wreck was of his own conducting, and no amount of useless weekly interviews will change that.

His plan was to get the kings quest guys to make the game for him in the first place

When they stole from him was he supposed to already have a crack squad of experienced game developers?

the majority of the budget wen to merchandising homestuck, most of the kickstarted money didn't even go into the game development

Four years user. Four fucking years.
The studio he hired already had a shady reputation when they started (he'd have known that had he bothered with any sort of vetting process), and he had still a huge amount of money left over to actually have some level of reasonable development. He failed to run a studio in New York and fucked over half the people working on that, switched to 2D, and moved to Florida. If the man wants to be shit at game development he faces the consequences, especially when he fails to meet any expectation that's been set.
And even if they're amateurs, we're talking about an adventure game. On Unity. This is about the easiest fucking thing you could ask for, and he still fails at it. He kills interest in his comic over a game he's not even the writer for.

>Morrowind reference
I like you

>When they stole from him was he supposed to already have a crack squad of experienced game developers?
Considering he'd have several million left over, and he DID hire people with experience and still failed, I'd say he fucked up. Stop apologizing for Hussie's incompetence.

Here's a decent watch on the development of Hiveswap from and the state of the homestuck during it, its incredibly sad seeing a creative mind like Hussie, sink to such awful lows.

god these 3d pictures are ghastly looking, if you look up uncanny valley in the dictionary you just see a picture of this

That's nice.

Hey, it's higher rated than steelcorridor's art.

Now he just spins fidgets and wears minion clothing while praising Zoe Quinn. Guy has gone straight up off the deep end, Sinfest style.

On average, how much hate mail do you get

I think he confused being ironic for being amusing, and now he's neither.

Do you like this human edition of Kanaya?

Why is her shirt a chainsaw

Not much, but almost all of it is bitching about JohnRose and how it's bad because all the homestuck characters are gay.

Because the symbols on the kid's shirts are two colored so her sign wouldn't work since it is monocolor so I went with her lipstick to be on her shirt

You mean a chainsaw

Okay the existing classpects have been analyzed to death. Anyone have OC class/ aspect ideas?

:D

No.

>titz
>no titz

...

that's the most pathetic thing anyone could have ever responded with
it's funny, i rag on steel so much in these threads, but if i had to replace all of the images on Sup Forums with his drawings to get rid of your shit i'd do it in a heartbeat. that shit looks like those sidebar ads on porn sites of the poorly rendered 3d models of women fucking goblins or ogres or whatever. you know the ones.

Not really, I use adblocking software.

>i rag on steel so much in these threads
It's good that you're eliminating any doubt anyone has that you're a shitter.

Why is there a skull?

is this dude writing your checks? why are you bending over to defend his honor?
seriously dude i'm just wondering do you think people derive any sexual arousal from these pics whatsoever these are the unsexiest things i've ever witnessed

JohnVriska was the 8est, can't deny it.

>there will never be a good ending to Homestuck
why live

I don't even know how Hussie could have salvaged Act 6, but I expected him to

>seriously dude i'm just wondering do you think people derive any sexual arousal from these pics whatsoever these are the unsexiest things i've ever witnessed

I get constant requests, so yes.

Jade plays hard.

Man he didn't even half to salvage it, just not end it on the non-note it actually was. He managed to butcher every single character, and worst of all failed to have a single four-way conversation between the original kids.

>seriously dude i'm just wondering do you think people derive any sexual arousal from these pics whatsoever these are the unsexiest things i've ever witnessed
friend, welcome to 3DCG porn. people will actually pay money for things like this.

The fact that he went for a happy but ambiguous ending was terrible. He was too afraid of stepping on anyone's toes and making people upset, and he ended up making everyone upset.

People paid thousands back in the days when it actually looked uncanny, and SFM authors make shitloads on patreon. To think there's no market is just ignorant.

So uh... full pic?

sfm porn isn't as horrifying ugly, though.

You do realize that a bunch of those SFM works tend to use the exact same models, right.

yes, that's why it doesn't look horrible. i'm not sure why something unrelated being well-made makes someone else's bad work somehow better?

>Was Homestuck good
yes
>or fucking awful?
yes

No, I mean that the SFM models and the models in that program, DAZ/Poser, are the same ones.

I think we should make a distinction that there are two Homestucks, just as there are two iterations of most of the characters.

You do write well.

Two thirds of the comic are good. But 66% is a failing grade in America.

...

oh god, that's fucking terrifying, more so than any of that amateur 3d porn

Vriska > your waifu >>>> Nepeta

How... how the fuck do you not know gelasticat's disgusting work? She literally established the trend for drawing all the kids as hideous... things. Also she's just a bad artist all around (she drew them normally once and they were still hideous). How new are you?

>not knowing gelasticat
I'm jealous of you, so safe in your ignorance.

Pot calling the kettle black, huh.

Don't be mad just because you don't know the worst thing to happen to Homestuck since Vriska.

sorry i've never heard of gelasticat, did she/him set this whole trend of making homestuck characters look like genetically inbred monsters that support extremist levels of political correctness?

Yep.

god...

I know this will sound insane, but I don't think Homestuck was long enough. Either that, or most of the dumb shit in the latter part of Act 6 needed to be replaced with stuff more in the style of Act 5 Act 2. It feels like there are a lot of themes and concepts completely untapped by the entire fanbase because they weren't explored enough to bring them to light, and with the way the fanbase is now they probably will never come out. Tex Talks is really the only thing that gets into the deeper part of the story.

By far Karkat got it the worst, he's this weird fat pink hobbit thing most of the time.

Homestuck dropped off for me in Act 6, I just couldn't stand what it was doing to the plot. still read to the end but if I want an MSPA fix I just check the fan comic site now for content.

PAY DAT RENT!!!1 is really good.

i just checked out her deviant art account, she still makes this garbage.

little crazy, but i can see where you're coming from, i just think he wanted to be done with it as soon as possible, due to the shit with Hiveswap and all of those hiatuses eventaully decimating homestuck overall.

>she still makes this garbage.
You kidding? It's super popular with the tweens.

...

is she making a good living out of this crap? the art is god damn ugly, and the virtue signalling beliefs makes me want to puke

>not Dave
Dave has permanent Lars hair, even Shelby drew him like that.

>I don't think Homestuck was long enough
> long enough
madman. ... unless you mean
> didn't take the time to pay-off all the elements that were set-up in earlier parts of the story
then yeah. We don't need to wallow in every feature of the worldbuilding, that's just wanking, but there so many dominos set up that were never tipped over when the story's done.

Problem Sleuth inspired a lot more than just Homestuck. Ruby Quest, Beginner's Guide To The End Of the Universe, Pay Da Rent, All Night Laundry, Waterworks, Awful Hospital, ... the list of non-shit stories keeps going.
(wish I could add Prequel Adventure but I can't in good conscience recommend something that was abandoned in the middle)

Where is Karkat...?

>Webcomic
>Copy n' paste art
>Extreme sameface
>Walls and walls of almost unreadable text
Reminds me of another webcomic
8^U

babysitting.

it could still be updated, right?...
