So, what the fuck happened to Homestuck?
For years, Homestuck has captivated its internet audience both with its seemingly endless creativity and a mile high pile of fandom horror stories. The comic itself may have ended in 2016 but it has been subject to many sub-par spin offs and sequels, like any decent IP. Long story short, Andrew Hussie (creator of MSPaint Adventures) forked over his dry cash cow to a bunch of crazy freaks. Some speculate that the drama surrounding the New Homestuck Team has been manufactured and is an elaborate ruse concocted by the newly married middle-aged man to sink the franchise and pawn the blame off on someone else, thus finally washing his hands of it for good. Hiveswap Act 2 is taking forever to come out, despite being 90% finished for over a year, and Acts 3 & 4 are completely kill. If that indeed was the plan, it has transformed into an out of control whirlwind of faux pas, homophobia, racism, sexism, and every other -ism under the sun. HS^2 has ushered in a new era of Homestuck, where if you scream the loudest you win, and you can only get ahead by hurting others. Enter: Kate Mitchell.
Kate Mitchell is a communist larper who claims to have "radicalized" Andrew Hussie. Mitchell has stated herself on twitter that she had hoarded the "official Homestuck url" until Andrew Hussie asked her to hand it over, which is when they got to talking. After this, Mitchell was tasked to carry on the story of the Homestuck epilogues with a more "progressive" flair that only a trans woman with a history of scamming can bring. Of course, she has since used this opportunity to turn HS^2 into her soapbox, blatantly harass people and be a giant cock in general, getting multiple smaller artists de-platformed for disagreeing with her insane opinions. Don't ask her where the Patreon or Kickstareter money are going, though! She might be blowing it on personal expenses like furry conventions and multiple other plane tickets across America for her and her friends, which is totally acceptable for someone as Brave and Stunning as herself.
So far, in Mitchells quest to end transphobia, she has:
>Scammed people out of jobs>Scammed people out of money>Sold nudes to minors>Harassed said minors for being uncomfortable around her>Self inserted as Vriska Serket>Wore Vriska Serket themed panties>Made Vriska Serket, John Egbert, and Roxy Lalonde trans>Said anti-pedophiles are TERFS>Tried to incite violence multiple times>Gotten multiple people fired from working with her for little to no reason>Posted her address online, got mad when people found it >Shoplifted from pharmacies when they delayed her HRT>Ran for local office>Lost to a corpse>Baited someone into suicide>Left twitter three times already but is gonna leave again for real this time!Now she complains about AGP rights on shrike.club, her hugbox that only her friends can respond to

God. I really loved HS, and I stand by it–it was a whole lot of fun at its peak with some really strong characters. But it makes complete fucking sense that it's been taken over by an opportunistic fetish-obsessed transbian who kins Vriska (ofc it's Vriska). I wish Hussie would just move onto a totally new project without any of these weird hangers-on that have been shitting up the comic since, like, 2012
No. 981439
>>981406In the web epilogue novel, roxy goes through a phase where she explores her gender. In homestuck2 he appears masculine, and no one comments on his transition.
i don't recall the full situation completely, but I think there was an election and jane won. dirk was influencing jake to run for president but he shat his pants??. Dirk anheros again at one point at that's where homestuck2 starts off

THANK YOU FOR THE THREAD
Fuck I hate Kate. some other writers/artists that were working on HS^2 have stepped away (my bet is to get away from Kate, because they just otherkin COMMUNIST Vriska too hard)
>>981406>>981410It was a semi-popular headcannon that Roxy was transfem in the initial Homestuck comic. In the Epilogues (specifically the Meat Route) both Roxy and Calliope come out as Non-Binary. later Roxy just transitions to transmasc leading some characters to mistake them for Dave. And nobody questions it.
As for Jade…Because Jade prototyped herself to Becsprite and then went Godtier…she has a dog dick now
In the Candy timeline of HS^2 Jade and Rose end up having a secret baby named…Yiffy.

They're a brand and brands always get a lot of shitty comments whenever they try to be woke. And they should, it looks like marketing and I don't really think a brand can have an ideology unless it's a very specific kind of business. If they tweeted more, people would have some shit to nitpick about that too. There's no winning.

He was a friend of a friend and when I met him he expected me to know him. As soon as he figured out I had no idea who the fuck he was, he tried to ice me out of conversation despite there only being like 5 of us total. He went on to later tell us about his wife(?) who he “couldn’t” divorce because her dad was Russian mafia and threatened to kill him or something. He spent that same weekend trying to fuck my 16yo acquaintance too.

He clearly doesn't care about it anymore and they're just beating money out of a dead horse.

This week's non-robo Dave dialogue was not very good, felt stilted once again so the previous upd8's robodave hope has faded a little. I feel like the writer was not the same person. I don't mind the "character growth" parts
(i.e. how he is very frank about his feelings instead of hiding behind too many layers of irony) but the speech patterns did not feel natural, this Dave reminded me of the epilogue Daves in the writing. It's hard to explain but maybe I'll make a comparison doc between all the works sometime. Karkat also seemed to speak out of character, the voice wasn't right. Whoever this upd8's writer was, I feel like they write characters in their own voice and don't pay attention to a character's unique speech patterns and vocabularies. There were some Pesterquest moments that sounded a lot like this upd8.
>>1024079Rosemary was such a nice ship until the retjohn. It has not been the same since, such a shame. Add the extremely unpleasant garbage they added in the epilogue and beyond… It's a complete trainwreck and I feel bad for Rose fans.
No. 1029897
>>1029505Well first of all back in canonland, retjohn caused Vriska to be the reason Rose's alcoholism was fixed instead of her relationship with Kanaya making a difference.
Then dog dick Jade happened as you said, which Kanaya was for some reason okay with so now we have cuck Kanaya.
And THEN, Dirk
tricks Rose who is going through a slow death because her human body is breaking down due to her slowly becoming her Ultimate Self (some metabullshit they've been pushing for a long time even in the original) into running away with him, leaving kanaya behind. Dirk and Rose end up on a spaceship and her consciousness is transferred into a robot body that can support her Ultimate Self so Rosemary is officially split up with Rose leaving Kanaya.
No. 1030075
>>1029913One of the annoying parts of Jade/Rose is that they didn't need to even fuck for Rose to be a surrogate mother to Jade's baby. Jade has space powers. She could have moved her (gag) dog sperm into Rose with her space powers instead of having sex with her. They specifically made Rose secretly cheat on Kanaya for a stupid reason.
Davekat meanwhile is extremely canon and nothing can split them up. There is a timeline where Jade and Dave get together and Dave is miserable because Jade isn't Right For Him, he just loves Karkat too much. Barf, they even gave Jade a penis and that wasn't enough for the fagworshippers, her marriage to Dave has to fail because she isn't male enough.
No. 1030477
>>1024079The comic teased stuff like that earlier in its run that plebbiters prefer to remember. The whole reason Karkat trolled John backwards in the first place was because he was embarrassed about making a blackrom advance on John and getting shot down. Also, Kanaya had a one-sided thing for Vriska and Gamzee hit on Tavros. It was established pretty early on that trolls are basically a bisexual species.
As for the main characters, there were gay jokes and Freudian slips with Dave's character from the word go. I think it actually makes sense to have him be bisexual. I say all this as someone who was honestly expecting him and Terezi to be endgame. That said, Karkat and Dave makes a little more sense than people give it credit for. In the pre-retcon timeline, Karkat and Dave had become friends by the end of the three-year journey. The only reason they ever disliked each other to begin with was because of their shared interest in Terezi. Remove her romantic interest in either of them from the equation, and they'd hit it off just fine. I'm not sure that would automatically equal romantic relationship, but I can buy that they'd be close.
The dancestors are more egregious pandering in my opinion. They're all extremely cringey two dimensional characters introduced simply because the original trolls were so popular.
I think we can all agree everything after the credits was a giant trashfire that doesn't warrant existing, though.

In the posts wearing that outfit he is playing basketball and posing cartoonishly. Not to mention the BTS faces on his clothes. No, it's 100% a joke in my view and it's his "clownsona." His new story's characters are women who have clownsonas with "clown genders" iirc, and the thing's jam-packed with mocking references to online culture like callouts, being cancelled, simps, BTS stan fanfiction, all of it. It reads like he is messing around with it all, seeing what he can make that's relevant to today's internet. When he was making jade a furry and caliborn draw fanart, he was being ironic for laughs and this is something similar. Just my two cents though. Unfortunately these days, it's hard to tell if anyone is joking when they act insane, but I bet he is banking on that.

>>1355637>>1355676Supposedly, he wrote the story outline. The problem is that Andrew's always been terrible at writing a cohesive plot. He's much better at character writing and comedy, so it's bizarre to me that he chose to do the thing he sucks at and outsourced the thing he excelled at.
The cluttered mess of a plot worked for Problem Sleuth because it meshed well with the humor. In a more serious story like Homestuck, it was
problematic because the pacing was inconsistent and confusing. Homestuck is like three different graphic novels worth of ideas crammed into one story, which is probably why it took Andrew so long to move on– he wasted all his best ideas on Homestuck. He should have transitioned to a new project years ago. His buddy Ryan North writes for
Marvel, and all he got famous for was Dinosaur Comics. Imagine what Andrew could have done with his career if he moved on after the credits, back when Homestuck generally still had good will.
People read Homestuck for the characters, full stop. As much of an overstuffed mess the story was, it has some really funny, memorable, well-written teenage characters (along with some shitty tertiary ones no one likes.) The second the characters started being written by people with ulterior motives (hatred of fans in V's case, narcissistic wish fulfilment in "Kate's", etc) they lost their charm. Frankly, the sequel deserves to lose its funding and get discontinued. You can't just strip away everything people liked about the original and expect people to buy into it based on the IP alone.

>>1355308I feel like whatever insanity Hussie is up to right now is a result of clown world mentality (which as you can see he's embraced). Not to excuse his faults but imagine being the guy who spawned the Homestuck fandom. You pour yourself into creating an entire super long webcomic only for it to serve as a(n internet) cultural atomic bomb. I would either lose my mind to cope, or start acting like a full blown clown since that's what they made of me anyway. Whatever he subsequently creates is going to draw those same kinds of people so he's just leaning into it. Hussie has embraced clown world, that's my thesis.
>>1355637This is the cherry on top, and its awfulness is precisely why he gave it his blessing imo. They have fucking destroyed Homestuck but it was already destroyed.

abusive relationship with her late mother.

I also remember the meltdown she had over HS fans speculating on the Homestuck staff's personal lives.
She also to this day has an old /ic/ anon, now /co/ schizo creep who is still obsessed with her known as guy a.k.a. manlyburger. I guess it’s understandable why she's dropped off the face of the Earth because of stuff like this but her cowish behavior attracted crazies.

>>1831811On the one hand, I feel kind of bad for these folks. He really did hand them a smoldering pile of garbage and say, "make this profitable, and appease all the people I pissed off without retconning any of the things that pissed them off. Also, follow my shitty outline that is somehow even worse." I'm not sure even a really talented veteran writer could make something good out of that, let alone the group of random Twitter autists Andrew dug up for the project.
Andrew totally shat up his own story with the epilogues, which he's quick to say were written by other people, but the reality is that he wrote the outline and approved everything, and I'm willing to bet some of the worst ideas were his. This is the same guy who wrote about 16-year-old Jake Harley seducing a then-in-his-thirties Laurel or Hardy (don't remember which, don't care to look it up.) After Homestuck ended, Andrew's writing abilities were totally shot for several years, basically because he disappeared up his own ass and got irony poisoning while retards like V and ipgd enabled him. I'm glad the epilogues and sequel went down in flames, it's what Andrew deserves for his hubris. Psycholonials seems to indicate that it impacted him in some way, and the writing is those games is less shit than the epilogues, so there's that.

And no it isn't cancelled.
Nevermind that second part yes it is 100% genuinely cancelled the only reason Hussie didn't officially say it's cancelled is because he doesn't like taking criticism and will never admit he made a mistake.

No. 1832946
>>1832301I think it's a little bit of both. Again, V and CephiedVariable wrote the epilogues; Hussie just gave them his outline and oversaw the work, with the exception of a few scenes he wrote himself. Hussie's writing was declining in quality even towards the end of Homestuck. While there's still some good stuff later on (Roxy's character arc and the interaction with Dirk and Dave spring to mind) it's buried in awful stuff, like the Dancestors, trickster mode, Jasprosesprite, etc.
Psycholonials is his first attempt post-Homestuck to write something in earnest, and it's still just not as good as Problem Sleuth or the first half of Homestuck. It's not as shit as the epilogues, but that's a pretty low bar to clear. The epilogues are a mix of awful on purpose (dog dick nympho Jade, Jake shitting his pants, Jane being a fascist, Roxy trooning out) and awful on accident (Dirk has no clear character motivation, the tone is all over the place, continuity errors everywhere, the change of medium being a terrible choice, irony poisoning.) I think it's terrible in part because Hussie didn't have very much feedback while he was writing it; it was just him and two of his biggest ass-kissers. Because Homestuck proper was partially written on the fly, Hussie could actually see fandom feedback and integrate fans' ideas into the story. That was a big part of Homestuck in the beginning, hence the command prompt. Fans named the original four kids and twelve trolls, lest we forget. Without outside input, Hussie disappears up his own ass in a haze of pretention. Also choosing to make the epilogues a novel instead of a comic was a terrible choice made entirely so they could shit it out faster with less effort. Homestuck was tailored to the medium of webcomics specifically. It's like if someone tried to make a sequel to Citizen Kane in some medium other than film. Medium matters, and while Homestuck is wordier than most comics by a wide margin, it still relies on its visuals and sound to communicate the story, characters, and humor effectively. The epilogues are truly just Hussie playing himself– he wanted to say "fuck you," to fans, but all he ended up doing was putting his own company in debt.

She drew fanart of her characters (pic related, Rachel's character Kitten Legs drawn by IPGD) and constantly engaged with her on Tumblr when Rachel would typically spurn contact from other fans.

about how Dirk keeps getting decapitated, and you'd have to be profoundly autistic to read it as serious. It's kind of ironic that he's tilted about kinning when he's projecting onto a character to a similarly unhealthy degree. He's almost acting as though Dirk is a real person with feelings and not just a character from a webcomic. Who cares if someone draws him blowing up? He's not real.
OD's right that kinning is fucking retarded, but there's not much point in complaining about it because teenagers and turbo spergs are going to continue to do so. Everyone knows it's stupid, but no one cares to get into arguments with the sort of speds who are into it.

She damn well knew what the fanbase was like when she accepted the job of writing the epilogues, and went out of her way to use the project as a way to torment fans.
Once she wormed her way into Hussie's social circle, she decided she was "better" than all the other fans and started treating them like shit on Hussie's behalf. As if her own parasocial obsession with him wasn't the reason she was able to meet him in the first place. Maybe the delusion of superiority over other fans is why she thought she was qualified to work on Homestuck when her only experience with writing before that was a melodramatic Stridercest fanfic. As far as I'm concerned, being a middle-aged man's groupie because you mailed him a horse dildo is just as pathetic and cringe as bathing in sharpies. You don't get to cry about being boolied by the evil fans when A) you are one and B) you went out of your way to antagonize them. IPGD reaped what she sowed and I have zero sympathy.

>>1880264>cults fuck your brain up"well MY cult of choice could have been better and actually did shit if people weren't pussies"
Sweetheart. Honey. You're dreaming of a Bigger Better Cult. It is still a fucking cult.

>>1892533Same, I miss when the HS fandom was mostly normal fannish women.
The HS fandom now seems to be almost 100% trans aside from a weird subsection of the fandom made up of alt-right guys who make comics about John killing gay people. I guess it makes sense that not a lot of well-adjusted people would still be fixated on a webcomic this old though.

>>1893040>alt-right guys who make comics about John killing gay peopleI haven't seen any of them in like 5 years
The only Homestuck fans I see in the wild are teens on Twitter who are somehow still discovering Homestuck

>>1893040I always thought it was weird how so much of the HS fandom is trans since the original comic on its own doesn't really have any trans characters–as far as I recall, anyway. Seems like it is mostly due to the gender craze kind of catching fire
after the bulk of the comic was over. So the O.G. material doesn't really touch on that stuff (for the better, really).
If Homestuck were started today/within the past 5 years it would be verrry different

>>1894685what a weird sub.
posting edgy comics and jokes about how the characters are chads or whatever (even though its hs and theyre talking about a bunch of kids at the end of the day kek), but in a recent thread i see people calling kate a she & not even making a single tranny joke, despite their alleged hatred of 'her'

>>1946653Roxy's already nonbinary and Jade has a dog penis
I don't know why Hussie hasn't given Dave a pussy yet though, ftm Dave was a massive fakeboi headcanon at the comic's peak. I guess it's because nobody cares about female troons.

>>1946765>he's a thiefAre some of his songs plagiarized? I haven’t heard about this.
I do think his tweets are annoying and that he tries too hard to type like Dave but just isn’t that funny.
No. 1947125
>>1947093Troons are the only ones left "normal people" who liked Homestuck in it's height a decade ago all moved on with their life and zoomers nowadays don't read webcomics it's a completely dead medium and even if they did they'll get bored naturally Homestuck takes weeks to read and no one has time for that
>So, do I recommend Homestuck? Should you drop everything and start reading it?
>You can’t. Homestuck is over, and I mean over, not just that it isn’t updating. “Homestuck,” the masterpiece, was the event, the community, the shifting pace of updates, the constant chatter between fandom and author. Homestuck is done. If you missed it, you missed it. It may still be worth reading the comic, but it won’t be Homestuck. Despite the Internet’s ability to catalog forever all pre-existing forms of art, all audio and video and text, humans have a knack for making art out of whatever can’t be preserved. Hussie was a sculptor of communities, and this community has dissipated -Writer Ben TolkienThat's whole point of this June Egbert thing hussie and the new team know Homestuck will never be relevant again the only thing they can do now is rape it's corpse by doing shitty fan service to trannies to milk every cent out of them.
