Please don't tell me people cosplay their fantrolls...

They do, don't they? :negative:

I don't know if this is a fantroll or what, but I saw this one at the most recent Otakon and couldn't quite figure out who she was supposed to be.

Hivebent had a LOT of LONG logs, which was annoying as I archived binged it, since I got into the thing after the Scratch intermission started. Long logs aren't a problem when you are reading the daily updates, when you are doing that you just want as much Homestuck as you can get. But when reading the archives? :suicide:

I don't get this perspective at all. The logs are, like, the best part of the whole comic. When you're in the middle of a book you're really enjoying do you say UGH I'm only HALFWAY THROUGH what a loving SLOG through all of this ENJOYABLE AND FUN TEXT.

edit: I mean, the troll ancestor journals? All that Mindfang stuff? Holy poo poo, that was fantastic, it always shocked me when people complained about how much text there was.

Yes, but.....that would just be silly and factually incorrect, because every chatlog is one or the other. (or both!)

(Yes, I'm sure I'm probably exaggerating a bit, but really, the writing in this comic is incredible and I am pretty much never bored by it ever.)

Every pesterlog does own. I think we might be the same person after all.

I know this is a webcomic, but flashes aside, it's a webcomic primarily driven by lots and lots of words. I can't really imagine why someone who doesn't like lots and lots of words would be reading Homestuck.

Even In Death yay! I'm so glad some of my favorite tracks from Vol 8 are getting featured.

I really liked the imagery of all of the lands and planets and stuff bleeding into one another. gently caress if I know what it means, though.

I think it also shows up in the drummed up mystery of the identity of characters. Why can't we see what UU looks like? What critical revelation is a character's appearance really going to have on the story?


This is a horrible example, as UU's identity may very well be a matter of extreme eventual importance, so showing who she is right away would ruin any sort of tension or surprise about related things.

I still haven't read PS and I've been following Homestuck since Hivebent.

Is it really worth it, at this point?

In any case, I can make an avatar out of pretty much anything in this thanks to the open source html5 docs the coder put up. If you have a request, let me know! Too much content here to just shotgun like I normally do.

Porrim Porrim please Porrim anything Porrim that would be excellent thank you in advance!

I noticed you already have a rather good Porrim avatar (and I'm incredibly bad at reading this thread) so I'll assume you don't need anything from me now.

For you to not talk about it until it actually goes up as a live update, maybe?

Like, if you absolutely MUST talk about it, make an IRC channel or chat with friends you have who've played the beta. I don't think it's very fair to everyone else to be more or less excluded from the discussion.

This is the whiniest post I've ever seen.

Also, echoing all of the Cronus hate--I was laughing initially, but as things went on (and especially when he started talking to Mituna, it was just...ugh. It's a really weird feeling to go from all of the wonderfully likable characters in the first walkaround (Meenah, Porrim, Latula, even Kankri is amazing in his way) to...these guys.

Meulin's pretty cute, though, with the way she mimes GIFs.

Has there been any word about the donation bonuses from the Kickstarter? I know it mentioned wanting to make sure everything got here by Christmas, and, well, that date is sorta fast approaching.

I tried reading the wizardfic. I wanted it so badly.

I can't do it you guys :( It's just such a wall of text. It's why I stopped reading a while ago. Hussie was doing so much better with the panel/text ratios.

Maybe another time.

Yeah I too hate it when people write words that are funny and interesting.

Well, that's at least a little more comforting, but I find it odd that they've been taking so long for international items when they pushed out (I assume) almost all of the domestic rewards within a month or two.

Hahahahaha so the tumblr outrage brigade is now flipping its collective poo poo over the face that ARquiussprite said that girls have boobs. Apparently this is a sign that Hussie is and I quote "a cissexist piece of poo poo". :allears:

I am the transiest of transgirls and that is pretty much the dumbest response ever, holy poo poo. The gently caress is wrong with you, tumblr, I mean drat that is some quality overreaction.

Also Arquius owns so hard forever. I want him to keep bothering people through the rest of the comic. :allears:

I miss when the entire premise was "John is a doofy kid with a weird dad who is stuck in his home trying to retrieve his birthday present, while random shitlords on internet forums tell him to do dumb stuff and he listens."

Those days are so far behind us now :smith:

That was by far the most boring part of the comic, though. Inventory gags were never funny.

I hope this isn't the case, because the meeting between those two is of monumental importance for both their characters and we just skimmed another such character defining event, the meteor trip with added Vriska, that as understandable as it is radically changed how the characters think and act.

Are you seriously this loving stupid or is this some next-level poo poo

I just watched a neat flash where Terezi confronts Vriska. I'm not sure what's up with the disk being scratched and everything being all glitchy as a result, though; is that just a joke?

This was a really loving cool flash and probably one of my favorites overall; I thought the glitch effects were really well done and super well mirrored the relationship between Terezi and Vriska at that point and it had a really neat cliffhanger end

Plus the music is cool as poo poo

I'm obviously exaggerating a bit, but it feels as if the overall tone has shifted significantly away from what it was in the first four or five acts.

I don't know if there's a "no poo poo" big enough for this situation
