Where are you getting this from, anyway? It doesn't seem to be on the main site, his tumblr or his twitter... e: "this" means "Hussie moving house". Stupid new page.

http://softowl.tumblr.com/ Girlfriendblog e: I feel kinda bad about how she seems to be some sort of PR for the comic or something, trying to ease frayed nerves and frustrations about merchandising or whatever. Like her boyfriend's job/creation has consumed her life too. Oh well.

There is no middle ground between amazing Homestuck fanart and terrible Homestuck fanart. The dichotomy between the Quest videos and Promstuck is just further proof. Also now I need Taco Bell for lunch.

Citizen Rat posted:I never really got why people would want to just go harass the dude (or whatever it is that crazed fans want to do). The guy is almost a professional troll at this point, the likelihood that you are going to come out on top of any interaction with him is slim to none. So why bother? You cannot hope to beat Andrew Hussie in a troll-off. He is simply the best there is.

The post in question was made the morning after the GPS fiasco. That'd be a pretty drat fast reaction on both Hussie's and any potential stalker's part.

Promstuck is actually pretty funny once you get past the whole 'alternate universe where everyone goes to school together!!' fanfic nonsense. It's relatively self-aware with it's shipper BS and is honestly rather decent characterization-wise (aside from the shipping stuff obviously). I enjoyed it more than the Highbloods thing anyway, but that could just be because anything with the music from Brodyquest that isn't Brodyquest feels weird to me. Anyway, it helps if you read it less in the context of 'this is a fan adventure of Homestuck' and more 'this is a fan adventure of what the fanbase thinks Homestuck canon is/should be'. Also, moving again? Sheesh, poor guy. I'm hoping it was for unrelated reasons to the fanbase, but considering the way his ladyfriend announced it...  Seems unlikely. Hell, I didn't even know finding GPS coordinates through video was possible. Make that one more educational/potentially horrifying thing I have learned via fandom!

Well, if Andrew is moving again, then it looks like another John death is drawing near! Maybe another computer breaking on him as well.

And I still feel weird and guilty and kind of dirty every time somebody mentions her in this thread, despite not personally having much to do with said stalkery poo poo. It's like, it's one thing to want to know a bit about the thought processes of the author of a work I like in order to gain more insight on the work itself, but when people start talking about inane life facts and/or other people who have little creative influence on the work (even if they contribute a lot to the work as a whole) it feels like a step too far towards creepy fan poo poo, of the type where I feel like I'm implicitly OKing it by not speaking up and telling people to cut it the gently caress out. Which might constitute backseat moderation I guess, but goddamn I am sick of this thread getting creepy and weird, even if it's only rarely. e/ vv I didn't mean to imply it was anything in this thread that caused lame username to leave, but whether it was or not, I still feel like talking/asking about details of an author's life or other people in it which are not really related to the reason we're all here is fundamentally weird. Especially if the person being talked about can show up and participate in the discussion, double especially if that person was previously referred to by some posters in a very detached way as if they were an object rather than a person.

I don't really remember this thread getting too creepy over her -- when she eventually left it was over FYAD being horrible about something, as I recall. It is of course extremely possible that I'm blocking something out.

I actually only found out about her blog very recently, from this thread, and began following it because she's actually kinda interesting? There's some stuff in there about Homestuck that's pretty neat, and it seems like a lot of things get released there earlier than Hussie's own blog. I guess I missed all the creepy stuff and just assumed this blog was part of the Homestuck gestalt and wouldn't be too weird or creepy to mention. I'm sorry though? I understand your feelings, and kinda feel that way myself (like I said it seems like her life has been engulfed by the comic and that's really unfortunate), but I guess I just figured everyone here would be pretty cool and not weird and stalkerish. I've learned about a bunch of blogs from this thread and have been following them, I guess I didn't think it was that weird hers was one of them. I only mentioned it because of the moving thing... and I was also curious if that was due to the fan stalking, too. Because that would seriously suck for them.

I was under the impression from past blog posts/news posts that Hussie moves pretty regularly, so I doubt it's related to fan stalking. Or maybe he keeps moving so they can't find him.

(Not that I take any of it back, just that I wasn't aware I felt that way until just now.) Certainly it wasn't a direct response to anything anyone said recently, more a holdover from how I felt the last time it came up when I wasn't in a position to articulate it. Starmaker stated my actual beef more succinctly anyway, which is pretty much that it sucks that Softowl's life has sort of been taken over by Homestuck, and I feel bad about the way that manifested here. Seems like I've got some stuff to think about anyway, so

Oxxidation posted:It does, however, seem to have an impeccable grasp on how the Homestuck characters work. Yeah, I think the charming thing about Promstuck is that it takes the not-at-all-realistic but highly individualized personalities of the Homestuck characters and places them in a sendup of/homage to the not-at-all-realistic conventions of emotionally overwrought teen romantic comedy movies. On actual Homestuckchat: all the Green Sun characters are in fact evil, next update will be Jade saying "Of course you can ask them... BECAUSE THEY'RE ALREADY HERE" and Dave takes off his glasses to reveal rapidly alternating billiard balls and no wait that would be stupid.

Promstuck is a spinoff or direct sequel to Marchingstuck (A link to which I can't actually find), in which everyone is shoved into a high school marching band. Kanaya becomes a rainbow drinker because she's impaled on a flag by Eridian in a tragic color guard accident, so they're both definitely parodies of overwrought teen stuff. I love that a parody generic Mary Sue fantroll becomes the prom queen.

If you want a good belly laugh at the fandom's expense go to ib.skaia.net and do a search for "sadstuck." The DeviantArt crowd has this fixation for crying Homestuck characters cradling each other while they bleed out from gut wounds. It's supposed to evoke pathos, but the sheer volume of this kind of art just makes for comedy instead.

You guys are aware that home addresses are not private information, right? I mean, sure it's creepy to extract GPS data from pictures, but it's not like this is the only place you could get this information. For example, try looking up a phone number in a phone book -- it'll probably have an address listed right next to it. Sure, there's probably more than one A. HUSSIE in his city (well, maybe not with that name. But let's pretend there is). But, if you're crazy and local enough to stalk him, then you're probably crazy and local enough to check each listing personally until you find the right one.
