Those both sound like things that have no place in Homestuck, the popular Saturday morning cartoon about love and friendship between the wacky adorkable students at Troll High School :colbert:

One of my favorite things was when John suddenly realized Con Air wasn't good. I'm disappointed hussie went back on that. I love the idea of a character directly tossing aside the cheap meme version of themselves.

Especially since I've actually seen people on the internet have tiny existential crises when they stop liking some video game or something, because they invested their identity in being a fanboy.

John's denouement will be realizing that it is generally speaking Okay to like some bad things so long as you do not do so uncritically or allow them to define you.

At this point I'm expecting Hussie to emerge from the vast wilderness of wherever-the-gently caress-he-lives on th back of a majestic muscle-beast, hooves shining and mane flying, dump around 1000 to 1500 pages on the site, and then go "Yeah, sorry, that's only part one I'll be back in another year. Talley Ho Binkey! To the East!".

You can't really make a call on how important Aranea is when she's only just started doing anything.

It felt like Aranea was going to do something by coming back to life, but then the whole "Jake unlocks his TRUE POWERS" came to nothing (like most of A6A3 and A6A4) and she spent the last part of A6A4 sitting around and making silly faces instead of executing her plan.

I think you are confused. A6A4 was all of one panel long.

So, to keep interest in Homestuck going, Hussie is getting a bunch of guys to do fanfiction of the series... something that is in no small supply already, I mean I guess it's an idea but we really are awash in Homestuck fanfiction as is, officially produced Homestuck Fanfiction isn't gonna offer much we can't already get elsewhere.

Unless he makes it all Canon, in which case :unsmigghh:

He's got some decent webcomic people on-board already, so it has potential, but I've enjoyed very few fanworks, so I am skeptical. At least it's on a different website, so I can just avoid it if it gets bad!

I look forward to seeing a Paradox Space anthology collection in my local comic book store. Also on What Pumpkin.

That being said I really can't wait to see who he gets on board for this after the initial raft of webcomic people. I wouldn't mind seeing Tom Siddell's take on Homestuck.

wheres the jester, I could do with some pointless nonsense right about now

The main problem people have with fan content, if I'm not mistaken, is that there is no quality control, so 90% of it is poo poo. With Hussie himself on quality control duty, I say this is gonna rock the boat like a whale doing a somersault.

Fix'd.

I don't know, maybe this won't be terrible, and maybe we'll see some stuff that was only talked about, like when jade talked to her denizen and it was simply described as "shenanigans". Or when Gamzee killed everyone earlier in that one off shot timeline.

Aw, who am I kidding, I'll probably read it because its more Homestuck.

Does this mean we might get to actually see the troll session's Black King fight in OFFICIAL capacity and make the whole Rex Duodecim Angelus fan animation project obsolete?

Regardless, super interested to see where this goes. I'd love to explore some of the skipped over/alluded to scenes he mentions, especially if they get heavy into exploring the kids' planets and the lore of the game.

I don't see why this would be terrible considering it's vetted by Hussie and there already seems to be some pretty talented people contributing? I'm super excited for this. Not only is it a way to touch on stuff Hussie never had (and probably never will have) time to get to, but it's a great excuse for some other awesome webcomic authors to draw HS stuff!
