Here's how Homestuck is going to end. Hussie will upload one last flash game. However, this will not be as much a "game" as it will be a "creation kit". A myriad of pre-drawn backgrounds, and every sprite that has appeared in the series so far, all available to pose and use at your leisure, with easy export into image files, and even a pesterlog editor with built-in quirks. People will piece together their own panels, and write their own pesterlogs, until finally they end Homestuck with their own hands, and upload their ending to Tumblr.

Remember when Hussie declared every ship canon? This is what he meant. The ending of Homestuck will be everything at once, and at the same time it will be nothing at all. The characters will finally be free from Hussie's influence, and with it, the plot. Instead of just the death of the author, the author will be removed from the story entirely, and the readers will take on his role - and it will teach them that just like they can change Homestuck, they can also change their own lives. They will be freed along with John and his friends.

Homestuck will end the way you want it to, because as the reader, you are the one with the power now.

It would be, too.

It'll be interesting to see if the Homestuck game (remember that?) ties in with the ending or the story/characters of Homestuck at all. It involves at least one human and one troll, but it doesn't necessarily have to take place in the same universe (used here in the narrative sense, not the frogs-killed-through-Lord-English's-schemes sense).

It's actually kind of hard to say what elements you can pick and choose from Homestuck and still call the game a Homestuck game. Does it have to include Sburb to be Homestuck? Does it have to include trolls? Does it have to involve kids, guardians, chat logs, quirks, wacky inventories, adventure game trappings and narration?

So here is a question:

When Hussie posted the update, within about 5 minutes, the site went down because of everyone trying to access it, right?
As soon as he undoes the update, the site goes back to being fully accessible.

But the thing is, wouldn't there still be a lot of drag and downtime, or at least delay, because people don't automatically know the update is gone, and people are still trying to access the site. Maybe not quite as many, as they realize that it is down, but I think it would still take some time to return to full normality.

So is something else going on here?

The Itinerary.

Or maybe, since Halloween is coming up, I should call it The Itinerscary. Especially because we may be in store for some spoooooky server crashes with these first few update dumps. Eep, I'm gettin the willies here!

One page today to test the waters (or uh, yesterday). When that's done and the coast is clear (it won't be), I'll post a bunch of pages on the 17th and 18th (oops, now the 18th and 19th). Then there will be nothing until 10/25. And then nothing until 11/1, at which point regular updates will begin again, according to an update schedule which I will share with you on that day. Then you will know which precise pattern of dates you will need to handcuff yourself to a computer and plug in your custom keyboard that only has a single giant F5 key.

It would seem against my better judgment, or really my ability to control in any way whatsoever, a fair amount of hype has been brewing for the return of Homestuck. People are jacked up. They are doing little dances in places they cannot be seen. They are writhing in kiddie pools of pins and needles for the return of all their favorite fantasy children. "John." "Karkat." And more. So it's hard to avoid finding it just a LITTLE funny that after a year-long drought, hopping back in the saddle means we will have to wade through 50 pages of completely atrocious garbage before anything happens. It's funny how life works out sometimes. Funnier than a clown tickling a horse. Sometimes you pause your famous webcomic for a year, and then your grand reopening is a lot of bad anime. On such occasions, when life hands you those kooky lemons, there is really only one thing you can say.

gently caress lemonade. These lemons are incredible.

What are the chances that "lemons" is used in the fanfic sense here, and we are going to get 50 pages of bishounen John/Karkat?

...chances would be pretty high, if Caliborn wasn't a tremendous homophobe.

If it's anything like the power rangers I watched as a kid, it was sort of like the homestuck trolls - a bunch of kids with a bunch of symbols and colors to represent themselves.

They had a secret identity (troll names are different from their handles), a suit color instead of a blood color, a signature weapon each, a symbol that followed a theme (dinosaurs/zodiac symbols) - or instead the dinosaurs could be the rangers version of a lusus naturae, I think that's actually how it worked in Japan, the robot dinosaurs were actually dinosaur gods that trained the rangers or something.

Also like the trolls they collected their reproductive fluids in buckets but they gave the buckets to Alpha 5 instead of a drone.

I'm happy to start with more of Caliborn's fuckery since he's some part of the comic's main antagonist, so we should probably get to know and hate him a little more before the comic reaches the climax. It's funny that the main way he's antagonized John has nothing to do with the massive, cosmic bullshit he's been involved in but rather by being a lovely teenager with a lovely comic.

You know, when I heard Homestuck was coming off of its gigapause, I thought about Homestuck for the first time in like a year and realized... I had no idea why I liked it. Yeah, it had some neat characters, but my memories of it were of unironically enjoying it when it disappeared up its own rear end with its metaphysics and poo poo. Like the reveal that the trolls created our universe and Homestuck was a creation myth. I remember being really excited about that at the time, but now... it's just so... :geno:

I thought I might finally be free of Homestuck. I clearly had lost interest, and that was okay. I was going to go on to be a normal productive member of society.

But, you know, I had to read the first update at least. Just 'cause it was there.

And just like that, a single lovely rehashed page, it all came flooding back to me. It was perfect. That solitary page was the only update that could live up to the hype of a whole year's gigapause. No grand epic flash animation or little walkabout game could have come anywhere close. "Sometimes you pause your famous webcomic for a year, and then your grand reopening is a lot of bad anime."

He just slapped a "more" above the title. It's still "Vol. 1"

I'm never going to be free. Hussie has my heart, and I'm never getting it back.
