Oh my God, is this going to be the "befriend Earth teens" equivalent of Friendsim? Can't believe we're getting a sequel this soon. Cool!

So since it saysquote:Timelines collide in the next chapter of the Friendsim story! Pesterquest is the latest visual novel in the Homestuck universe; discover all-new stories about Homestuck’s classic cast of characters. I assume we're going to have Friendsim type stuff but with the actual Homestuck characters this time? Which is way more interesting to me than Friendsim was. I couldn't get interested enough in more random trolls to pick that up.

Lol, the MSPA reader gets fed up with the non-answers of the epilogue, stumbles into retcon powers, forgets everything, and ends up bouncing through time, befriending the kids and trolls all willy-nilly.

Wait a minute...14 releases, two paths each...that's twenty eight routes. There are 8 kids and 12 trolls, that leaves 8 open spots. If we get routes for both Cherubs that still leaves six, wonder who's going to fill them?

I might get this is it has real characters rather then some fantrolls. Boom went there. But I do kinda hope this doesn't require having played friendsim to be enjoyable? I just kinda didn't feel much appeal in a whole bunch of new troll characters. I just kinda feel burnt out on trolls and troll culture after like, 26 of them?

It feels like it doesn’t require Friendsim knowledge. I mean the trailer shows you the pertinent parts of Friendsim to understand the premise of the new game. But who knows, maybe Doc Scratch won’t let you play until you prove you know every Trolls’ classpect.

Plom Bar posted:I will make the omelette and I will choose as my movie Deep Impact starring Morgan Freeman as The Black President Excellent, you are a person of honor and distinction. Also, you technically only need to do one of those things to satisfy the terms of the bet, but if you wanna do both I fully support you. Post your omelette picture and recipe and movie review whenever, no rush. Still can't believe I won, and so quickly! Props to WhatPumpkin for getting organized and releasing things in a timely fashion. Anyway, I've heard that the first two routes are John and Rose which would make sense, but I can't find a source so I may be misinformed.

Homestuck as a webcomic that was continued by official fan-fiction that was continued by a visual novel where a reader personification unsatisfied with the fan-fiction enters the story to mess around with it is... well, it's on brand.

They ditched the bathrobe at some point for a dress that they wore to Chixie's performance, and at some point that got traded for Mallek's Hoodie

The Hussman himself dropped a little bit of commentary on the nature of the Epilogues, here is the transcription: https://old.reddit.com/r/homestuck/comments/cuywff/the_homestuck_epilogues_bridges_and_offramps_new/ I think it is pretty neat.

Some bits of it are neat and interesting. Here, though: > . Wherever the most conscientious and invested members of fandom want to drive this universe, I am unhappy that an overall statement so self-referential and ironic can coexist with an abstract determination of "conscientious". Like Act Omega is invested as hell, because of the time and media commitment, but does that mean it should be driving the universe? "Interesting" or even "deep" would be one thing, but "conscientious" and "invested" are explicitly value judgments of the quality of the fans themselves. Like, yes, shitposts and poo poo fic/art/music abound. But how, once we've thrown out 99% of the stuff, do we (or rather Hussie) determine who's conscientious enough? > And I think this can only happen if now and then fandoms are seriously challenged, by being encouraged to think about complex ideas, and made to feel difficult emotions. I believe when art creates certain kinds of negative feelings in people, it can lead to some of the most transformative experiences art has to offer. But it helps to be receptive to this idea for these experiences to have a positive net effect on your life, and your relationship with art. And this just makes me feel flat-out condescended to. I mean, dude, I read all of Thomas Hardy in a month once. (Do not recommend.) I know how to deal with challenging and painful art. The assumption that fans need to cope with difficult subject matter to experience the transformative nature of art overlooks that many fans deal with that subject matter elsewhere, in other canons and indeed in real life. It's Hussie, who knows how much of that is seriously meant. Here is the thing, though. Oscar Wilde and P.G. Wodehouse are both as exquisitely constructed and carefully thought out as Thomas Hardy and Algernon Swinburne. Joy in the midst of sorrow is just as transformative as sorrow in the midst of joy.

quote:In this sense, I think it's heavily implied to be a piece of bridge-media, which is clearly detached from the previous narrative, and conceptually "optional" by its presentation, which allows it to also function as an off-ramp for those inclined to believe the first seven acts of Homestuck were perfectly sufficient Oh boy.

Moreover, there's parts of this that are interesting, and there are parts of this that I kind of roll my eyes at. On the whole, this confirms a lot of my interpretation of Act 7/Homestuck as a self-contained narrative, and of the nature of epilogues' canonicity, but it's also a lot of stuff I feel is better left unsaid, left to interpretation. I'm validated, but I don't necessarily like it. Plom Bar fucked around with this message at 23:31 on Aug 28, 2019 |

You know, it's kind of a shame What Pumpkin became so much of a business, because I'm getting the impression that Hussie is this close to just declaring Homestuck public domain and saying anyone's fanfiction is just as real as anything he might write.
