I hope it's all of these combined. Remember, they have access to a device that can combine any two objects. I'm imagining something like the freezer experiment from Ed, Edd, and Eddy, with stitches everywhere and cueballs for eyes. And bits of Dreambot Jade making it a cyborg. Like if Frankencastle was a furry.

It will be beautiful.

From a certain point of view, I agree that Vriska is the "best" troll. People carry on long conversations about how great/awful she is, and only a negligible amount don't have some sort of strong reaction towards her. Whether you like her or not, she clearly had the biggest impact on the fanbase, which I believe is the best way to objectively measure the effectiveness of a character. Compare Nepeta, who gets reactions of "so cute :33 <3" to "pretty annoying." Can't really compare to "Awesome badass lol u mad" to "IRREDEEMABLE BITCH WHORE" to "Awww that's so sad :("

Actually I don't think anybody can compete with "IRREDEEMABLE BITCH WHORE" Maybe Jack around Descend.

It's not Bec. Or at least, it's not just Bec. Remember, in the Trolls' prior harassment of the Kids, they made the claim that the Kids lost and then did whatever they did to fuck everything up. Whatever this is, it's somehow a consequence of a choice the Kids made in an attempt to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Which means that if Bec is involved, it's at the Kids' urging and not out of some heartrendingly arbitrary betrayal.

One the one hand I'm sad because it means she died.
On the other hand, everyone died at one point and they're all more-or-less fine now, so I guess I'm not too bothered.
On the other other hand, It's kind of funny that Aradia ended up doing Vriska a favor, by giving her a way to get her vision eight-fold back.

And it looks like we've finally reached a point where a whole bunch of important stuff will finally come together and we'll hopefully get some queries resolved.

Something from the Homestuck wiki entry for her caught my attention: "Most likely, Aradia would have killed Vriska if Tavros hadn't stopped her before she struck the final blow."

Is it really supposed to be a significant, spiritual awakening? Jade told Rose that she needed to get to the root of her subconscious troubles and discover her purpose in order to wake up, but players keep finding ways of waking their dream selves without involving any meaningful self-confrontation.

Like yeah, Sollux had two dream selves, but neither awakening was a paradigm shift for him. His friend snapped her fingers and put him to sleep, and then he died and had his second dream self smooched awake by a princess.

Rose had a lot of trouble waking up in the Bad End timeline, but that just meant that she was able to avoid it all when the timeline was destroyed and her future dream self went back in time and merged with Rose's dream self in the main timeline. Dave was bonked on the head with a ball of yarn to snap him out of his pseudo-awakened state. John woke up when Prospit's moon crashed into the Skaian battlefield.

There don't seem to be any rigorous requirements for someone to wake up.

No.93200
I'm interested in knowing how a scratch is an ordinary and even potentially beneficial part of the game that is actually recognised inside it. Hell what it even actually IS.

See I had been working with the idea that the Rift was this interdimensional temporal clusterfuck where all bets are off and amongst the massive swaths of destruction and oblivion, the potential to redirect destiny and change a universal timeline that was otherwise unchangeable exists. A one time thing that would highlight the story's themes of fate and free will by throwing all the "inevitability" out the window and putting the future in the hands of those willing to make it. That all references to inevitable failure and destruction were simply referring to this entity that simply could not be perceived, but which all believed to be oblivion.

But now it's this ordinary built-in game mechanic that even Aradia establishes as not the "Great Undoing" itself, but simply its facilitator. We don't even know if it's breaking rules by crossing sessions, since we don't even know what it's exact nature is.

That was my current running hope for an ultimately happy ending. As of now, everything's been thrown in the air again.

No.93202
Maybe Rifts are like the console window of Sburb; they let you step outside the game, maybe change conditions around (pretty much everything Bec does), or switch to a different map (session),.

And maybe the rift that messed with the trolls isn't the Great Rift, just a rift. Maybe the Great Rift is whatever lets Lord English into the session (because there's no way this isn't going to end with them beating him).

No.93203
>>93202

Yeah I think Lord English as the ultimate antagonist of the story is likely at this point, but I think he would definitely have ties to sburb itself.

As accepting as this fictional world is with certain abstract stuff like Fetch Modi and so forth, there's too much outside evidence to suggest that the transdimensional game itself doesn't have origins and purposes in the "real" world to which Lord English is presumably connected and by extension not only Doc Scratch but ALL First Guardians.

I mean, the idea of a "First Guardian", a planet's designated "god" if you will, is something that perhaps is easily accepted in such high fantasy scenarios. Like when the Doc Scratch pages came out, everyone was like "oh so that's where Bec came from, mystery solved". But nothing is ever that simple in Homestuck. Their very existence is yet another unanswered question.

I mean looking back it's pretty remarkable how little we still know about the story.

Agreeing about this fanfic, it's the best thing I've seen written about Homestuck because it underlines something that *did* happen, *must have* happened in the story, but something that would be easy to overlook or not realize. So easy the characters themselves probably won't realize the magnitude of what's happened.

Were I an artist, and I am most certainly not, I would draw the scene of karkat being the last to die, cradling Terezi, screaming how it can't end like this. A sky only half-full of Aradias behind him, the only words being their consensus "Not enough".

Reposting from the romart thread :3

>>93103

This is excellent. Aradia really doesn't get much attention and even then, her characterization tends to be very shallow. I guess most people find her boring. But hey, how else could one respond to being fully aware their entire life is basically a tool in the hands of greater forces? What I think most people don't realize is that she has always had a hand in the course of events. She had to do the things she did because they had to happen. But they had to happen not only because that was what the voices dictated but because she couldn't give up on a slim chance of a semi-happy ending for her friends. A determination she's evidently kept through some truly unbelievable shit.

That really shows through here but in the same quiet and resigned manner she's shown throughout the story instead of in an overly dramatic way most fanfiction writers fall victim to. Props.

I always thought that Vriska was always mentally troubled (even more so than normal) from the fact that Aradia didn't care that she killed her early on in Hivebent.

Vriska always wanted her to take some action, but she didn't so that made her really mad as if even if she killed someone she wouldn't get the attention she wanted. She would basically be left alone.

And when Aradia got all her memories and emotions back, she made sure she confronted Vriska about her actions. Even when Vriska was getting thrown around like a rag doll, in my mind, I would think she felt a little closure when Aradia responded to her in that horribly negative way. Because it meant that she actually felt one way or another about the whole situation. Aradia wasn't 0k with it anym0re. That's what Vriska wanted to see.

Plus, isn't that like all trolls? They try to garner hate by saying or doing inflammatory things. But if you ignore them, it's likely they'll just get upset over the fact you're not getting upset.

Hahaha! Troll logic.

No.93259
>>93250

It's probably wrong to say they've buried the hatchet, but there does seem to be a certain amount of ground covered between the two of them at this point. Cooperation and perhaps even future reconciliation are not impossible.

Actually, I got the impression that in true narrative arc fashion the trolls had 'resolved' their interpersonal disputes just in time for their big action climax against the Black King where they have to work together. But then, like any good sequel, in the post game their supposed happily-ever-afters all fall apart and the issues reveal themselves unresolved.

So things between Vriska and Aradia might be stable at the point that the game ends (perhaps thinking themselves 'even'), but it won't be until this post-game world where they'll actually resolve their differences.

OK so, trying to parse this.

1) Kids create a scratch in their session which also affects the fabric of the troll session.
2) Said scratch is positioned - in the troll session - at the center of Skaia, and somehow forces Lord English to reveal himself - whether this is a premature summoning or simply "blowing his cover" is unknown.
3) Lord English proceeds to decimate the Trolls, apparently having been thrown off by this turn of events. The trolls retreat from Skaia to the Veil, and English presumably proceeds to end the timeline of their incipisphere several hours later.

So in other words, whatever the kids did, whether purposefully or not, screwed up English's plan in a bad way. And unless the semi-highlighted conversation is deliberately misleading, Doc Scratch somehow considers the situation to be "not his problem", which means either that this English is not "his" English (again, the most likely interpretation), or that he is assuming the whole escapade was intentional.

Not really any point to this post, I guess. Just getting my thoughts together and double-checking that I didn't miss something obvious.

I've been thinking about what to prototype and it is a challenge. For communication my dead uncle seems like a natural choice - he was always a reasonable man, very honest and direct. Not an ideal choice since he will likely be forced to couch everything in sprite-speak anyway, but not bad.

Similarly hard to think of a weakness to impart. I thought a simple piece of white paper might make everyone more vulnerable (particularly to fire and water). Possibly a satchel of gunpowder, even, to make them explosive (although I may come to regret that). Materials are not a guarateed solution, since any material in sufficient density becomes resistant to attack and there's no way to control the quantity available to an enemy.

I've been trying to think of finding a way to impart blindness or being crippled as well. Perhaps prototyping a mouse with his eyes plucked out and paws broken would work - consider that the harlequin took its mutilations with it in the sprite form.

What's bugging me is the fact that I don't know how much Sburb accepts images to make items. I think it needs at least one item to be physical, otherwise it'll just make an image combining both (duh), but even then it might reject shitty images or make a bunch of useless stuff. I mean, if your computer is still working, what stops you from printing a shitload of stuff and combine them with things laying around your house? For example, if it wasn't for the cost to alchemize them, you could probably print the image of an exoskeleton and combine it with your getup, or print an image of any ludicrously lightweight scifi rifle and combine it with an improvised spear or something.

Also, I'm not sure what are the consequences of not prototyping the kernelsprite with the deceased or doomed. I guess it doesn't make much difference, but there's no way of telling if your sprite won't be an asshole and go through the trouble of finding a dead fly somewhere around the house and OOPS JUST TRIPPED into it.

Obviously all of the alchemizing is done for the sake of the comic, and it makes no god damn sense logically.

The best explanation is that the game is fated to be programmed with whatever the logical combination would be of whatever you alchemized.

Damn you, you got me thinking about this.

It looks like his code was to bifurcate THIS (I presume, a universe). ~ATH(!U2) looks like it was a command to "run" U2 (! can also be a negation but the syntax doesn't look it they're being compared). So if my horribly misguided speculations are correct, they'd be in the } EXECUTE (~ATH(THIS)}{EXECUTE(NULL)); line right now. This is where Earthverse executes it's function and theirs is "nulled." If that's right then the next line is Earth being rendered null and the Trollverse being "run." The last line is [THIS, THIS].DIE(); which would suggest everything ends right there if we read die in the context of death. But this being a game, I think it'd mean another roll of the d20 or with this game the way it is, d1000000000 or something.

Basically what I just theorized is that Alternia and Earth are two parts of a whole and the course of their existences is for one to run while the other is unactive (void of life, I guess) and when that cycle is complete, the "die" is rolled again to run this all again with different parameters.

But really, ~ATH and all the code Huss has written with it is more likely complete bullshit.

No.93559
>>93558
My interpretation of the code goes a little more like:
1) Bifurcate THIS (the program itself) into Red!THIS and Blue!THIS
2) In the red program:
Call this program's universe "U1"
Loop until the death of U1, then loop until the death of the blue program.
3) In the blue program:
Call this program's universe "U2"
Loop until the death of "not U2", then loop until the death of the red program.
4) Let both programs run til death.

So the red loop will wait for the death of its universe, then the death of the other loop. And the blue loop will wait for the birth(?) of its universe, then the death of the other loop. The first blue condition is inside the red loop, and the second condition is outside the red loop - almost as though the program expects U2 to be born while U1 lives, which makes sense, except for the fact that the blue universe is supposedly the one that gave birth to the red one.

So in order for the code to be valid - in order for it to execute at all - the nigh-omnipotent interpreter that runs this fucked-in-the-head language rearranged the two universes to be dependent on each other to have come into existence in the first place.

Okay, so from what I understand, the reward for winning Sburb is to become a god in a new universe. The trolls were prevented from traveling to the new universe that they earned, however, because something in the kids' session caused the "scratch" to open up and unleash Lord English. The trolls were able to get away and are just laying low in the asteroid lab until their session collapses, with them inside it, since they have no hope of beating Lord English.

A few years back, Hussie accidentally discovered the Master Key of Fandom - a subliminal override that has been programmed into the past few generations through children's TV as a means of ensuring that other subliminal messages would be received and processed.

Well, I did what I could to edit your prose and fix up the spelling and grammar mistakes from last night. Whether the story itself is salvageable is another question entirely. Your premise (Kanaya falling for Sollux after asking him to the prom so that they wouldn't have to go alone) sounds fairly reasonable if a bit cliche, but in execution you don't actually have many events to build this supposed slow realization of feelings on to. Characterization is also just about nonexistant besides a nod to Kanaya's lesbian feelings and Sollux's lisp.

My reccomendation is to start over with a clear head and use what you have so far as a template. Show Sollux helping Kanaya with her math. Have them engage more in the run up to the prom. Maybe show them interacting with other trolls to get their takes on it. Have any realization of feelings be gradual - not in the "but could they be more?" kind of way every other line, but rather neither of them even realizing how close they could be and in fact are until the story's climax.

But if you want my honest opinion, don't write it with a romantic finish. Maybe Kanaya's just a lipstick lesbian but writing fanfiction where the only gay character stops being gay doesn't sound very fulfilling except as some strange commentary on the flood of fanfiction where all the straight characters turn gay.

[spoiler]It was boring and I didn't like the ending. I kept waiting for it to end. At least Overdrawn at the Memory Bank was bad enough to make fun of, but Casablanca just sits there until you walk away.

Humphrey Bogart's role as a romantic lead was comparable to Robert Pattinson in Twilight.

>>93671
Normally I'd agree with you, on the basis that you are Kosh and are almost always right. But I feel that this update was based almost entirely on user input, that it needed to happen, and that it could hardly be called a twist.

Users have been clamoring for the troll arc to end, and now it is ending. We asked to make Vriska pay. We asked to move things along. We asked that he skip to the end already, and while he expressed his disapproval for the way people were asking (through a conversation between Aradia and Droog) he gave us what we wanted.

>NO, YOU ARE THE GAME
I think you missed the point. We have always been the game. We have always been shown we were the game, whether through the kids and their complex inventory systems, or through the Exiles and their terminals. Rose making an FAQ on GameFAQs concerning current events. The Pre-Medium use of the Prankster's Gambit. I think the real point of this update was to give us a glimpse of what Sburb really is, why Skaia is worth protecting... And we're even closer to solving THE ULTIMATE RIDDLE!

I don't mind that Kosh has a different opinion. I just think it's stupid to just dismiss it as a "stupid twist" when obviously it play an important part of the story. And to be honest I think all most of the "user input" can really distract from the story. It really wouldn't have hurt to hear more about the trolls instead of just skipping them. I mean even Andrew regrets the suggestion box from time to time. Anyway I probably could have posted something different and I didn't mean to derail, but it just really annoys me when people do that.

It's not user-input anymore, though. The suggestion boxes have been locked for a while and they probably aren't coming back.

Andrew is pretty vocal in his hatred for the suggestion box. Mostly because it shut down the site whenever it opened, but also because most of the suggestions are retarded and if he uses a lot of them then the story starts to slow down. Can you imagine if he was still using it nowadays? It would be like Problem Sleuth, which is to say a very simple story carried entirely by jokes. I guess that's okay in its own right but it's not the Homestuck we love.

>>93675
No comment on the, uh, story you were critiquing, but I really don't see a problem with shipping Kanaya with any of the guys. There's no in-story confirmation that she is exclusively into women, and I'd be totally fine with having a chaste bisexual character because you don't see many of those. I hate this gay event horizon mentality where you crush one one girl and all of a sudden you are totally gay forever and can't like any dudes.

I never had a problem with the concept of fanfiction per se, it's just that the crushing majority of people that write it come up with stuff that is dull and uninteresting (if not downright awful). I've always seen it as a waste of time because you have to brave through a lot of shit before finding something vaguely amusing, and most of the time I'm not that much of a fan to be interested in that. But if someone finds anything that is cool and inspired I have no problem reading it.

I think that the fact that Hussie pushes up the standards of his own work makes more talented people feel inclined to contribute and create a thriving community, everybody likes when someone is dedicated to give quality content for free. So you eventually see fanwork that is also better and more elaborate, especially because MSPA as a thing depends heavily on the community response and was originally based on direct user input (and stayed like that for 80% of the time until it got absurd and problematic). Everything is there to persuade people into contributing. It's not a top-down webcomic with parallel communital ideas for this and that, it's a CYOA/webcomic-like hybrid that has always been a form of crazy storytelling and eventually started to gain a webcomic-like face and less of the aspect of frenetic suggestions as a natural evolution of what he intended his work to be.

I think that the biggest thing Hussie managed to present to me was expanding what one understands as communital storytelling. I mean, I really love quests/CYOAs/MSPAs/whatever, but he really went through with the notion that you can add a fuckton of depth, character development, good art, clever humor and another plethora of things while receiving input from people and using it as the flesh of the bones of your plot. After Weaver, Hussie, Marty and even you Bea, I adopted the mindset that CYOAs can have music, flashes, long and interesting stories and some kind of serious worldbuilding with persistent evolution of everything that happens. I mean, I'm largely ignorant about this, I never really got into RPGs and never looked into this kind of thing, but the effort that was put by all these people made me really interested and a fan of the format. I'm actually compelled to design and make something in December because I think that this is a truly great thing. This needs more love, I know that Hussie is cynical about webcomic artists and the like, but I think that people could really create a lot of great things if they get more familiar with it.

Oh, and sorry for the long post.

OK.... here's what I get from this.

Karkat hates John with a passion. We already know this... but Karkat hates John more than he's hated anyone or any-THING ever before. He hates the relationship between a parent and child, he hates his stupid antics, and he hates his whole stupid SBURB session. To take a line from Harlan Ellison "HATE. HATE. HATE."

Karkat has a kneejerk reaction to this strange new hate that's lodged deep in his heart, and he's convinced that John is his kismesis at first sight... or something. What Karkat doesn't realize that humans don't have that quadrent. To compound that, it's been said that John really warms up to Karkat (as a friend) at the end of their conversations, which means Karkat's first conversation would be infuriating, being treated all friendly-like. I think this would cause Karkat to either:

A) Get turned off on the whole notion, and he kicks himself for how stupid he was being
B) Redouble his hate, thinking John is trolling him by faking being friendly, and eventually be crushed.

Either way, we know that Karkat eventually becomes John's friend, and nothing more.

I'm kinda rooting for B though, only becuase I want to see Terezi comforting a crying Karkat and saying "Karkat, it's hard. It's hard growing up, and nobody understands"

See these couples aren't trying to kill each other IN SPITE OF their romantic attraction, they're trying to kill each other BECAUSE of their romantic attraction. So there's a romance to the hate.

Aradia's feelings for him seem mostly black, while Equius' feelings for her are mostly red. They both have strong emotions about each other, but they're not exactly on the same wavelength. So he's gotten the girl, but not in the quadrant he was aiming for.

Also, that reminds me of a question I've had for a while now. What exactly is Equius' 'redeeming' quality? Andrew has said that he's tried to give all the trolls some trait that makes them likable despite their various failings, but I don't exactly see what's to like about Equius.

No.93954
>>93950
It's strange because I do like Equius despite him being a creepy bastard with few redeeming qualities. It's probably because we know he gets over his hatred of lowbloods and builds robot legs for Tavros, coupled with the fact that he's completely subservient to his feelings for a lowblood, despite being such an insufferable prick when it comes to status, which is endearing in it's own way.

Given how dangerous all of the trolls are to each other it doesn't seem so bad. He sees himself as a sort of protective figure, "Hey don't go sitting with the weird kids at lunch", etc., when in reality he's going "Don't sit with those poor kids, they're lazy and need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps--obviously they're worthless trash because they want to be".
It's pretty obvious that his class-ism is a direct result of his insecurities. Doesn't excuse it, though. By the time they get around to confronting the Black King it seems like he's gotten over it enough to both stop controlling Nepeta's social life and start being kind low-bloods.

So there are definite parallels between the kids and all the trolls. Most of them are pretty easy to see; Eridan is Dave and Rose, Kanaya is Rose and Jade, Karkat and Gamzee are inversions of John, etc. But who do Equius and Vriska represent? This is completely arbitrary and stupid and I thought this discussion of parallels was over and done with months ago but now it's not because it's going to bother me now.

Well, they are technically gods of that universe. Maybe they just find their pawns more entertaining when there's strife grief?

>This was actually my line of thinking in writing Rose's wizardfic. If you sift through that dense excerpt, you find it's about 12 evil kids who played a role in influencing every dark event in history. My intent was that this was her subconsciously echoing the creation story of her own universe.

I think the parallels are there for a lot of the same reasons the re-used art is. From the start of Hivebent, they've acted as visual and emotional cues that tied these strange new kids to _our_ kids, and act as a kind of superfast primer for getting to know them. This, along with the new layer retroactive knowledge of the creation myth, fits perfectly with the pace and purpose of Hivebent.

This also makes everything in the Homestuck universe retroactively evoke this universe's creators in little ways. Magic wands and wizards, ICP, Feferi's ambitions for a relatively peaceable race...

I keep thinking of the glint in Sollux's glasses and the glint in Dave's when we first meet both characters. It's a nod to us: this is a cool guy. Now we know a universe reflected in lenses means something new and stunning altogether, but at the start it was just a method of characterization.

Fucking FINALLY, some cliff's notes. I knew vaguely that the 12 wizard kids had SOMETHING to do with the trolls, but I couldn't penetrate that perfumey purple drivel.

For some reason Equius is inexorably linked with John in my head. I'm not sure why. Equius's super strength? His resemblance to Cameron Poe? The square glasses and the kissyface he makes when rhapsodizing about Aradiabot?

Someone asked for a vriska x tavros artdump a while ago. NSFW pictures are just mixed in there with the safe ones and there's probably a bunch that have been posted but I didn't get to because I stopped giving a fuck. In fact, I think the majority are NSFW. OH WELL~

babby john is cute.

So this was kind of a ten-ton reveal that Sburb is the means by which universes procreate. I wonder if we'll learn how that came to be and if it's tied to English, First Guardians or whatever.

iirc they didn't, but the dude who showed up to save them in the end was basically like "I hope you didn't kill anybody." and they were like "Oh yeah our bad."
