Homestuck

[neoratz]

i was crazy about homestuck for basically all of my teenage years a large part of my growing distant from it was skaianet and not liking the epilogues.. i still have a soft spot for the webcomic though. the sburb mechanics were easily the coolest bits to me, i particularly loved the idea of alchemy cuz the idea of being able to combine all of my favorite things into cool new items i can play with is AWESOME!!!

when i was younger my favorite characters were john and vriska. i still like vriska the most of the trolls, but my definite favorite now would probably be john or jade. jade's dead shuffle dress is so cool and cute...


as a kid it was a big dream of mine to participate in some largescale sburb roleplay/simulation where we all progress as a group and have our own wacky adventures and stuff hahaha the idea is still really appealing to me. there was a text-adventure game called the overseer project which let me fulfill this but it was admittedly kind of shitty so it was hard to get people to play with. i don't think it was at the fault of the project though, sburb is very complex and difficult to adapt into an actual game V_V

I've talked about a similar concept with my friends, using the Genesis project. IIRC Genesis doesn't go into the lands (or at least I haven't progressed that far) but I think it would be really fun to set up a game in there and take our time to roleplay with it. There's also a great Pesterchum client...

Anyways hahaha I know this message is old, but I would really be interested if you ever wanted to try this!

big homestuck fan here! its so cool to see so many homestucks here (even the ones who aren't anymore).

I got into Homestuck about two years ago, so I didn't catch all the shit (but also didn't catch the gold era, which is kinda sad). I read it with a friend and we became OBSESSED with it. Damn what I would do just to have the chance to see

for the first time, or Descend.

It's spetecular, on levels I simply cannot describe. It's absolutely insane what Hussie was making on the early years of the comic, and I sincerely respect the guy for making shit so good.

It has some serious problems later on, though. Although I liked Act 6(part of it, at least), it definetely doesn't have THAT feel past acts had. The characters are amazing, and I can list lot of really neat stuff it has, but, for something so huge as half of the comic, I can't remember HALF OF IT. I can pretty say at least one big thing about each of the first six acts(counting with A6A1), but If you ask me what happened on Act 6 Intermission Shit I just won't be able to say. That's when you start to realize pretty much NOTHING was happening AT ALL.

Anyway, I LOVE Act 4. It introduces so many interesting concepts and characters, and for me it has the best flashes of the comic(Jack: Ascend, WV:Rise Up, Descend). But if I'm choosing a fav one the 1st place goes hand down to Act 5 Act 2. It's crazy when you think HOW MANY THINGS HAPPENED on that act. I still remember the feeling of reading all those long pesterlogs full of obscure lore (and the final payoff in Cascade is one of the greatest cinematic masterpieces of all time). Overall I just really like the arc where

My fav character is Terezi >:]]]] SHE'S THE COOLEST!!!! Dave and Roxy are also rly funny! ^^

Homestuck has forever changed my view on media, and it's a big influence on everything I do, from my artstyle to my music.

There's no way it can be recreated. But I dream to make something as cool (and long haha).

Just polling out of interest,does anyone here keep up with Beyond Canon these days? I'm a wee bit insane about it... I'd love to discuss the end of act 1 if anyone on here has read it sdfhgjjgfk :D
