Well, I mean, they're somehow making at least a 1000 of them just for this kickstarter, so I doubt it's still just one gal making them. Hopefully they have a system down.

I think the scalemate plushes came out especially great. They are of almost impossibly high quality for something produced in bulk.

They're mass-produced. It seems he found a new supplier with good enough quality.

the good thing is that it's taking long enough where it'll probably be able to tell the whole story by the time it's finished. and then when people ask what homestuck is we can just give them this animation :allears:

They could make smaller or different ones, and leave those as a limited edition, I guess.

I would buy the hell out of a miniature plush scalemate the size of those little voodoo keychain dolls. Can't decide though whether they should come with a keychain loop in their head, or a string noose stitched around their neck.

They'd probably be adorable either way. :3:

Gonna be honest, I didn't fund the Homestuck game. I'd rather buy it when it's done. Besides, it's funded. Hussie doesn't need my money. Plus he already got my money via all his books and all the bandcamps.

Anyway, the reason I bring this up is because I would so very instantly fund any Kickstarter that led to a Homestuck animated series because :sbahj: is that video loving amazing.

Oh man, so I guess this next walkaround flash will be with John and Jade in their Incipisphere? That's neat! Hopefully we'll learn a lot about how they've spent the last year, see what carapace and consort friends they've made, all that sort of stuff.

I wonder if they're going back and completing those personal quests of theirs? It's unclear how much those really matter, but meeting their denizens and whatnot might I guess.

Oh, since personal quests are supposed to be tailored to the personal development of the player, it'd be neat if John and Jade did Rose and Dave's personal quests to learn more about them since they miss them or something like that. Or maybe Davesprite would do Dave's since he's got just as legitimate a claim to it as Dave does?

I dunno, wild speculation I guess.

Nah, I'm pretty sure the walkaround will continue where it left off, Hussie just didn't want to make us wait around that long.

I'm guessing originally his plan was to do this stuff after the meteor/Beforus walkabout. Since he's already splitting up the walkabout it makes sense to intersperse it like this.

Aw hunny, these came out GREAT!
Back when Aranea and Meenah were first introduced, I got it into my mind that all of the Alpha Trolls would basically be 180 personality flips of their Beta Troll counterparts.

So I was really really glad that they aren't like that. Hussie is masterful at his characterization, I couldn't have called Kankri, Porrim, or Latula being the way they are at ALL, and all it does is make me super curious as to what the rest of the Alpha Trolls are like.

Also, now that we've come all this way and basically have three different sets of trolls... I'm gonna be greedy and hope Hussie gives us a glance at the Alpha Trolls' ancestors, our original trolls as adults in a nice world :3:

Even though we're already well overloaded with trolls, if we get anything like the subtle but stylish glimpses we got at reverse ancestor(I'm lazy and making up terms) Rose and Dave, that would be pretty cool.

But there's really nothing notable about the A1 troll ancestors. There isn't really any point in seeing them at all, whereas all the other sets of characters we've seen have been relevant to the plot.

But when we first saw the Beta ancestors (Mindfang and Redglare), we didn't know they were relevant to the plot. That came later.

Scratch refers to the heroes of legend switching places with their descendants after the A1 trolls reset things. I figure at the very least we're going to get a little insight into A1 Vriska during her inevitable conversation with Aranea. A1 Karkat too, if Kankri ever manages to heave his loving train of thought in a productive direction.

I really doubt that though. Specifically thinking of the log in this page, Aranea seems to suggest Beforus was mostly boring. I mean, the kids from both universes are relevant because they played the game, obviously. The A2 ancestors are relevant because they play a huge role in the A2 kids' lives, which is because there is a whole lore behind ancestors in Alternia, and their great feats, accomplishments, and struggles. They become relevant in the kids' lives because Alternia is full of conflict and there's interesting stories to say about them. If A1 Vriska lived a perfectly normal life, what would that matter for Aranea? What would A1 Vriska even be remembered for?

Man I dunno. All I can tell you is that Hussie has yet to turn down an opportunity to make this poo poo more complicated than, strictly speaking, it needs to be.

e. looking back at the comic, seems like Scratch refers to all 24 of the trolls as "heroes of legend". Which I guess is different. Still if you don't want to hear the story of A1 Eridan, aka the best fuckin' secretary of the exchequer Beforus has ever seen, I submit that you are reading the wrong comic.

I would imagine the lives of Karkat and the gang were pretty uninteresting on Beforus, aside from Feferi, and we already basically know what she did as Empress just by looking at how Beforus turned out at all.

Okay, so, i've been binging on this for, like, a few weeks, and just finished Act 5 (holy poo poo, Cascade.) and i feel like i need a Homestuck avatar now. I vaguely remember, from waaaay long ago before i even cared about this, there being some sort of thread of something which listed unused avatars? Since, like, most of the best ones are probably taken anyway, but still, it would be kinda neat to avoid accidentally stealing someone else's, since half of SA has one. Did such a thread ever exist, or am i misremembering?

It was page 2 or 3 of an older thread. The one person who kept it up to date kinda disappeared or went lurk-mode. It's easier if you just find something you want an avatar of and ask if someone (usually me at this point) will make it. If it's taken, there's usually a reply saying as much before the avatar gets done being made.

There was a point where 3 people took the "miracles" Gamzee avatar (albeit all 3 had different move speeds) and I think Popo is the only one left to keep it. It's not really a big deal if you get a duplicate.

Some might be curious. Most people might not care if Arenea was as inspired by A1 Vriska as A2 Vriska was inspired by Mindfang, but I wouldn't consider my time wasted were I to find out. Besides, the Earth John Egbert grew up is boring by Alternian standards too, but there's plenty of interesting stuff in our world's history. What's to say there isn't t something interesting to compare and contrast even as a footnote?
