tO REPORT ON THE SUBJECT,
oF ME GETTING HURT,


The epilogues deliberately shading into fanfiction and including non-Hussie authors is bringing us closer to the point where Homestuck is some kind of public domain creative commons thing where anything anyone makes is about as canon as anything else. Homestuck spirals off into a loose collection of folklore, like the tales of Robin Hood or King Arthur, and when Disney adapts it into an animated movie in a century or so the "canon" they draw from will only be a tenth original Hussie material.

also the concept of canon is, of course, explicitly discussed in the text of the epilogues

'owning the rights to the property' is deliberately not discussed as a pillar of canonicity

sometimes if someone I've never seen makes a joke like that I'll check the first page of post history to see if they are funny, because that's an opportunity to riff a lil bit
that post is what I found instead
I have some shamefully awful posts, but that one had a certain fittingness to it and i had to share



anyway Homestuck: I find myself rly surprised that nobody seems to have written even a lovely, hasty alternative fanfic to meat/candy
here's one:
nothing
john never eats again and lies down on the ground, slowly dying for the whole story
the rest of it is 'just read or remember candy but skip the parts with john in it'
the end

To me, this picture is really funny and makes me giggle not so much of the content, but how people react. You can just post this anywhere on the internet, as a complete non-sequitur even, and it'll make people lose their minds. Some will just assume it's a personal attack, or get real defensive and indignant, almost as if they are overreacting to convince you that there is no way Chris Hansen would ever look at them with those steely eyes.

Clawtopsy posted:

Really? Some of my absolute favorite tracks never made it into the actual comic. Lotus Bloom, Alternia, Pumpkin Party in Sea Hitler's Water Apocalypse, Sburban Reversal, Dawn of Man, Dance of Thorns, Lies with the Sea, Green Ghost, Your Universe, and probably a BUNCH of tracks from volume 10, especially Renewed Return, and EXTRA especially Conclude.

Hell, there's even some tracks from the first unofficial fan album that make my top homestuck songs list. Heir-Seer-Knight-Witch is in my top 20 most-played tracks of my entire iTunes library.

Honestly the music is one of the biggest factors in my enjoyment of homestuck overall and I scooped up nearly every album they put out and made a point of listening to all the stuff that HADN'T made it into the comic, and I'm glad I did, there's tons of gems like these.

Yeah, Vol 5 was the first one to feature non-comic music so it swept up all the stuff that had been made or not used for pages over the first year.
Including when Hussie came to the team and said "yo can someone make me a remix of Doctor for a thing" and got like fifteen tracks.

But some of those tracks from those albums do go on to appear in [S] updates.

Also, we wouldn’t have had Hussie Hunt, the greatest thing to come out of Homestuck.

I didn't like the music after act 6 came out as much, independent of my distaste for the comic post-then, but the music up until then was and is outstanding

I came to Homestuck pretty late, and even without any nostalgia for it I still love the music. It's my go-to to put on when I need some background noise for working to. It helps that there's like 20+ hours of it, so it doesn't repeat too often.

True story, when I was a teen, I had a fantroll who was like what people thought gamzee was originally like (I. E. harmless follower of crazy-rear end music religion), except instead of ICP, he was a devotee of troll Bill and Ted, who believed that they would bring about a utopia of peace.
