What the fantroll creators don't understand is that the entire symbol library that young trolls picked from as wigglers carried over in our universe's collective unconscious, but in a cruel twist, similar to how we devised playing cards and have a blatant disregard for modesty concerning buckets, the symbols were reduced to being a ubiquitous computer typeface that no one really uses all that often.

The thing is, Homestuck is both a story and a puzzle, by design and by definition. If asked to define it, “a story that’s also a puzzle” is as close to true as any answer I’d give.

Should all entertainment be like that? No way. But something should be like that, because something like that should exist. That’s why puzzles exist, because puzzles are cool sometimes, and are challenging. We don’t go up to a jigsaw puzzle and go, “why the gently caress is this in so many different PIECES, what kind of IDIOT would break this nice picture into TINY LITTLE BITS?!!” Nor do we want all of our nice pictures broken into bits like that. Some we just want to hang on walls and look at.

But unlike a jigsaw puzzle, there’s much to enjoy without having to solve it. Fun characters and silly moments. But if you turn your brain on, you can engage with the complexity and depth. If you turn it ALL the way on, you can get everything, and solve the puzzle. There is a range of ways to interface with it, from the casual to the maniacal. Failing to grasp everything shouldn’t preclude basic enjoyment, nor is it a symptom of failure by either the reader or the story.

I just love the way he explained it. It is now my Go-To Post for folks who say "I didn't figure out *this* part of HomeStuck THUS IT IS WRITTEN BADLY"

sprinkletit asked you:

what’s the sweet bro and hella jeff moive plot?


I don’t know, but I think plot is probably the wrong word.

Opening the film with a ten minute montage of bro falling down some stairs would probably be the conservative approach. Just some really solid stage setting, established in classical film making tradition to butter up the critics. It also clearly sets up a strong antagonist for the moive, stairs. It is a foe which is never bested, for you see, the film is an American tragedy.

Other than that, probably lots of profane non sequitur and hug bumps issued by Wilson and Stiller, who will have been heavily coached in their acting to achieve a sort of rigid, surrealistic demeanor just off the mark of any heretofore observed human behavior. Like the uncanny valley of mannerism. Lace heavily with artifacts, visual and audible, and don’t be surprised if at some point a 20 minute clip of a completely different movie is inserted, uncut, flipped vertically, and tortured with various Photoshop filters. Finally, the climax will be the stunning resolution to a series of dilemmas not previously introduced in the film, all of which center around the inability of either character to perform simple motor functions. Then we see oversaturated low quality footage of Tony Hawk doing grinds while the credits roll, which contain not a single word which isn’t “gently caress.”

Also, I think Geromy would be this guy.

help me I cannot stop laughing just at the thought of a ten minute montage of Bro/Ben Stiller falling down stairs, and I'm afraid to read the rest of it

Wow. Just read an entire blog about somebody reading the entirety of Homestuck over the course of 2 months or so. They started out basically roasting it. And then changed their mind once the story got underway. It's a hilarious read, but it's also kind of nostalgic. I can remember going through a lot of this stuff. It's been a hell of a ride, hasn't it?

When Karkat created the trolls and their ancestors ectobiologically, and they were sent through the defense portals, they were sent both to their own universe and the pre-scratch universe. Likewise, it's implied that the same thing happened with John and co., except everyone was sent from the pre-scratch universe's incipisphere.

Why does a glitch have to make sense? I really can't get over people trying to rationalise the origin of the pre-scratch trolls when it makes much more narrative sense for them to simply not have one, the message being OH poo poo YALL CAUSALITY IS SERIOUSLY loving BROKEN KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS ITS LORD MOTHERFUCKING ENGLISH IS WHAT.

Plus as far as I remember the only thing that suggests they came from anywhere at all is "this session was not the one in which they had been spawned" which could just as easily mean they found their way into the wrong session, or were spawned in a different troll session from the same period, or didn't come from anywhere at all. But yeah, while you can [kinda sorta] explain it away with shenanigans, it has a lot more impact if you leave it completely incongruous.

I don't think it's really that complicated here? When the meteors leave the defense portals in the Incipisphere (whether they are coming from the pre-Scratch Incipisphere or post-Scratch doesn't matter), the game seemingly makes two copies of the meteor, one sent to the pre-Scratch universe and one sent to the post-Scratch universe. This seems hinted at pretty deliberately with the conspicuous presence of all the meteor baby artifacts in the start of Act 6. Up until now we weren't given any clues as to the specifics of how baby spawning happened in two universes.

Of course, this all makes me wonder if the Sufferer truly "remembered" anything from his past life. If post-Scratch John is even a character, I doubt he'd "remember" a drat thing about becoming a god. Characters seeing visions of other locations in spacetime has been a thing happening in this story since drat near its inception, though, and there's numerous ways for this to happen. So mystery solved I guess?
