find her yet? ✜ HOMESTUCK fanclub
 
http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj252/gardenstates/home_zps96ea052e.png

A young man stands in his bedroom. It just so happens that today, the 13th of April, is this young man's birthday. On this day, he and his three best friends will start playing the game SBURB, which will bring the apocalypse to Earth and force the kids to grow up and meet aliens, alternate selves and time traveling horrors. Also, they will all get really rad hoods and pajama. Welcome to the new extreme.

This is the fanclub for the PC members who follow the webcomic/phenomena that is Homestuck by Andrew Hussie, to talk, daydream and discuss the plot that is thickening every day. Homestuck consists of silly gifs, long dialogue, lots of time shenanigans as well as breathtaking flash animations and music. But if you are here, you probably know that already.

Gives room for a lot of fandom discussions, and theories, etc. :3

Added! Welcome!

I don't even know how many pages the comic consists of as of now. 5000+? Are you still in Act 5? I hope you're ok with us talking about dancestors and alpha kids, otherwise you'll have to let us know and we'll use spoilers for that :3

Oh, you're using this account again. Neat :3 Welcome!
I agree, it's so complex that sometimes I wonder if Hussie is high on a new kind of drug when he's writing it.

Welcome to the club!
I actually think he's planned out the ending now. And what's up with Gamzee's business?? I wonder if he really planned all his shenanigans out from the start or just came up with it recently O.o

I too love the music. I hang around the bandcamp and listen to the official music as well as fanmade music very often.


I think the Derse moon is overweight btw xD Not that it matters~

Yeah, he really made over 40 characters with their own distinct histories and personalities. That's rather remarkable, I agree.

I added you ;3 I'm contemplating a change to Prospit just to not let Drew be alone xD I just always thought it seemed more cool to be a Derse dreamer. You could run around and wreaking havoc for the agents prematurely and stuff. And stare out into the abyss, maybe communicate some with creepy horrorterrors. Instead of looking into foretelling clouds. Then again, Prospit looks so beautiful...

Okay, seriously though. For me, it's the characters and the humor that makes Homestuck such a wonderful experience and also the fact that Hussie is able to set the mood quite well depending on the situation. I just love to sit and chuckle at Dave's and Tavros' rap-battle, or Karkat just shouting at everybody about... Well, whatever. Equius proclaiming how STRONG he is, or just seeing how the Major runs his business as, a Major. It's all just so, MAGICAL. Oh, and I also love Homestuck for spawning maybe one of the best webcomics of our time besides itself: Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff.

Oh yeah, and then we have the music which is just FFFGGGGGNNNNNNHHHHGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAmazing.

moon January 6th, 2013 2:51 AM

It's totally the best anime. I added you! and switched to the Prospit camp hehe

I haven't read many fanstories. I guess I don't find them as interesting as the real thing :p I did read one where Kanaya was a high school student, but I didn't get very far.
Would you guys have any good fanstories to recommend?


How about this: we put plot-related things from Act 6 in spoilers, but characters are ok to discuss (like alpha kids and dancestors). Everything up to Cascade is pretty much common knowledge among anyone in the fanbase now, I should guess. Or we'll make it so in this club xD Have to draw the line somewhere.
Spoiler:
While theories about the ring and jujus and sprites and Lord English etc. should be in spoilers.


SO about these last updates...
Spoiler:
Omg Lil Cal is more important than I thought O.o What did Gamzee do with the doll on Derse? Was it in the future and he was about to give it to someone there or what?

Also, the rabbit balancing on an orb when Caliborn talked - does that mean that Liv Tyler/Lil Sebastian is/was Caliborn's old juju? Or Calliope's perhaps? I guess we'll see about the latter when Jane creates her item in the next update though..!

Mr. Mammoth January 6th, 2013 3:48 AM

Yeah, I've read the one with High School Kanaya as well. Though I haven't read all of it. There is actually a Ke$haStuck story of all things which seems to be... Interesting with lack of a better word.

Yes, about the last update:
Spoiler:
Well, Lil Cal was with Gamzee in the picture where Hussie said "Now back to the most important character of Homestuck" or something like that. What I think Gamzee is doing with the puppet is that he's giving him to the guys on Derse and they initiate the creation of Doc Scratch (who was made with the MEOW-text and Lil Cal, I believe) whose body Caliborn will later inhabit as Lord English. And since he is a Lord of Time, but can only get instinctive feelings of the future, I guess that is why he feels so "heartfelt" about the puppet because he can feel that the aforementioned is going to happen.

As for Liv Tyler/Lil Seb, I'm pretty sure that's Caliborn's juju if anything. Because I think he said that he couldn't find his sister's, since she'd presumably given it away to someone else already. Now if Jake could hurry up and remember the damn code for it, we can finally find out.

Ke$haStuck? xD Sounds interesting indeed. I kind of would prefer to find a fanadventure with original characters though. But all of those I've found seem to be about trolls... Why do people love trolls so much? I think the humans are much more interesting.

Update-plot-talk
Spoiler:
Aaah right! Yeah, I've figured that much out, that Doc Scratch is made from Lil Cal and the MEOW code. So that's how the doll is important :3

Oh, right. And in the last update, we got to know why she didn't have it in her possession. Because she had already given it away to Jane in the future :D And yeah, but does that mean that Jane will get both jujus? Sh*t just got bad*ss.

==> Prospit or Derse dreamer: Prospit. Hussie says Prospitians are inherently introverts (or that's how I interpreted it, haha) so I suppose I fit in that description. :p
==> How far have you read: I'm up to date! I only got into the fandom last year out of sheer curiosity, and I'm glad I did. It's got one of the best fandoms imo; fitting for a great webcomic in the first place. <3
==> Answer current topic: No, because I've never read any Homestuck fanfiction, unfortunately. u_u Ke$haStuck and High School Kanaya sound like interesting reads, haha. Might check them out soon, just so I could get a piece of that Homestuck fanfic action. Also I agree! I like the humans way more than the trolls, and it's odd that the fandom seems to cater to the trolls so much with the work that they produce. The trolls are pretty cool in their own right, but I only really like a handful of them, so. :\


Regarding the recent update:
Spoiler:
I can't wait to see the jujus. I have a feeling it's gonna be related to the pistol shifting cane that Lord English used back in that one intermission. I can't really remember which, but his cane turned into a pistol, right? It matches the dual nature of this juju. Maybe it's the combined form? Or just that it's related to the cherubs' jujus or something. :p

Also don't alchemiters just create a carbon copy of the thing captured by the code? So that doesn't really explain Calliope's lack of juju. :\ Also Jane will probably get both jujus in the end. So I'm really excited. :3

Regarding which to put in spoilers, I think that's a good plan. (b'')b But personally I think the main thing we have to put in spoilers is character deaths. Everything else wouldn't make much sense to the ignorant anyway. Or at least I think so, haha.

Also guys I saw you talking about the god tier title test in Tumblr back in the old Homestuck fanclub.
Is it this one? It's just that you never linked it there, so I was left wondering. :p

Adding you! Introverts, you say? Perhaps :3 I didn't think John seemed very introvert though. Just a bit odd xD

It's not so much fanfiction as real Homestuck-copies actually. People do their own art, sometimes Hussie-style, and post on the official forums to let the readers choose what happens next. Just like Hussie did in the beginning with Homestuck. Here are some stuff which I think would be perfectly fine to post here since it's very relevant and on-topic.

I wrote something here but now I've changed my mind and write something else xD Trolls are interesting when I really think about it, partly for having different blood colors and castes and partly for different psychic powers being pretty normal there so possibilities are many when making up characters. Plus, all the quadrants. ALL OF THEM.

JUJUtalk
Spoiler:
The pistol might be his juju! But Calliope was always so secretive about hers so it makes me think that we haven't seen Caliborn's juju together with him yet.

I think that all the things that the ectobiologybabies got sent from John's lab with are jujus. Cal, Maplehoof, the rabbit, the book... About that "there can only be one", it's fine regarding the rabbit and book (John's book, Sassacre's whatever, you know) because one would eventually become the other. John's book would become the old book that lay in Dad's safe and Rose's rabbit would become Jade's rabbit. Or if it was the other way around.

Maybe baby-Grandpa's pistols weren't jujus though. They didn't show up anywhere else, did they? Unless one of those guns somehow turned into Doc Scratch's gun 8D /theorytiem~ But the hat that baby-Nanna got is certainly one.



The test you linked to is the "advanced" one, yes. Here is the simpler one.

Cid January 6th, 2013 6:59 AM

Well I'm not really sure if introvert's the right word for it, haha. I'm sure the Dersites are pretty outspoken, though! Like Dave and Roxy are generally chatty, and Rose and Dirk are pretty smartassy. :p Sure John, Jade and Jake have their fair share of ramblings, but they're generally a lot less prone to talking than the Dersites, imo. Jane is just cute. <3 And besides, we only see them talking to their really close buddies they met in the Internet. Like look at how Jade dealt with the trolls at first, and compare that with how Dave dealt with Terezi. Oh and Kanaya being a Prospitian contrary to Rose being a Dersite is what I generally look at when seeing what defines each. :3

I'm ashamed to say that I've never made an MSPA Forums account. I just lurk that place for the Let's Read Homestuck CoLab thread from their YouTube channel, so I'm really not as involved with the fandom as I'd like to be. XD; Buuut the adventures thing sounds really interesting! I might try reading some.

Ah I get what you mean. But character-wise I just don't find myself favoring trolls over the humans, so I stick to what I said. u_u Troll culture is really interesting, weird, indulging, surprisingly consistent and most of all, fun, but as for my opinion on the specific trolls that are introduced, they're okay. A couple of them stand out, but the others are just meh. That's saying something, because I love all eight kids a lot, haha. About that, the quadrants just always remind me of the long explanation that Hussie gave us that I bothered to read out of sheer boredom (and curiosity, I suppose) so ugh. Still, I like how it explains their relationships and pairings. And I sort of like that about Nepeta, too, because she's really cute when she does the whole shipping thing. :]

More JUJUtalk
Spoiler:
Ah yeah. I'm still racking my brain really for what Calliope's juju could possibly be. @[email protected]

I agree! I think those childhood items that got sent with each baby are jujus. Although the "there can only be one thing" confuses me, to be honest. I've never quite seen how paradox space handles jujus produced from the alchemiter, or at least I can't remember a specific instance of it happening. So what would happen with Jane's actions in the recent update? ._.

Also what makes a juju a juju? I think Jake's pistols can still be considered jujus. I mean does it really have to show up elsewhere? Or maybe if that's really required, then couldn't Hussie just make it appear later on in the comic? :3 But yeah Jane's hat is probably a juju more so than Jake's pistols.

Ah I've taken that, too. I remember I got Page of Space for that simple one and then Mage of Void for the in-depth one. I think Mage of Void captures me more, though, so I consider that much more accurate. B)

moon January 6th, 2013 7:21 AM

Hmm. In that case, I should maybe be a Derse dreamer after all xD If the trolls would contact me, I'd be like Terezi on them and try to make them do things, or I'd try to talk to as many of them as possible.

I made an account but I don't really go there. Maybe have made some post somewhere but can't completely remember.

We can all have our own opinions ^^ I used to debate with myself if I liked Terezi or Vriska the most and now I think that Terezi has won me over. Mostly because she turned pretty sane later on, while Vriska just... was Vriska. I also love Meenah, for some reason I can't really explain. The quadrants make their interaction more interesting, yeah ^^

even more Jujutheory

Spoiler:
Hm, let's examine Lil Cal's history just because I feel thinky today. It originated as Bro's doll (from what we know today) and followed Dave into the B1 session. Then when Bec Noir killed Dave on LOFAF, he took Lil Cal as a trophy. Then after he arrived in session A2, he threw Lil Cal at an Aradiabot to ensnare her, but she teleported into the path of a meteor going through a skaian gate and then crashlanded on Alternia where past-Aradia found Lil Cal. Kanaya stitched him back up and gave him the green suit. On the meteor, Gamzee took possession of the doll and then brought it with him to Caliborn in the end.

But somewhere in the middle, Dave woke up on Derse and dreamed that Cal was there, so Lil Cal in Derse pajama manifested as Lil Cal's dreamself there xD And this Cal fell out the window but landed on Bro's flying skateboard and ended up in the ectobiology lab where it followed Dirk to the B2 universe. But the old Lil Cal still existed so it was necessary for Derse Cal to be destroyed, or terrible things would happen to Dirk or somethingsomething.

Or maybe it still exists and just lies on the bottom of the ocean, in Dave's old city...


Regarding alchemizing, I think stuff you alchemize is as real as the real thing. So perhaps Calliope had already destroyed her juju after she sent Jane the code or something.

I'm not sure what makes a juju a juju. Maybe we'll get to know more later xD Calliope explained at some point, I think. Is the word and the thing something that Hussie invented himself?


Maybe I should do the advanced test then, since people seem to think that result fits them better ^^ I was a Mage of Light or maybe it was Hope, when I took the light test.


Taemin January 6th, 2013 10:46 AM

Omg Meenah. I went through such a phase when Meenah when she was in the series more, I really liked her, and that's toned now a bit now because she hasn't been around in a while, but yeah. She was really cool to me for a bit. I really like Vriska too, but my favorite troll is Sollux.

I'm on the MSPA forums, but I made the account when I was real new to the series, and I never use it. I prefer other forms of the fandom.

As for the title / aspect tests, there are two huge ones going around right now. They're both complex. One is the original huge one with three parts, I was Prince of Blood on that one. The other is also complex, but its newer and still being worked on.. that was Prince of Hope, for me. -w- If I can find a link to the second one, I wanna hand it to some of you, it's a neat test.

moon January 6th, 2013 11:46 AM

I'd be happy to take that new test :3 Seems you're truly a Prince, then ^^

btw, have you guys seen this? It's a highly interesting read, I think. Especially the very last chapters, about the lore. Totally not canon though, since they have invented new aspects and roles and changed the plot and mechanics around a bit in some places. http://archiveofourown.org/works/340777/chapters/551606

Lt. Col. Fantastic January 6th, 2013 12:51 PM

I took the long title test on ThePageofHope or whatever it was called. I got A tie between Bard of Heart and Mind.

I just now took the shorter one...and I got....Page of Time?

Thats quite a jump.

Spoiler:
I think the jujus are going to be something we haven't even seen yet. At least Callipoe's...

moon January 7th, 2013 2:00 AM

I took the deep quiz and I'm a Page of Doom O.o Quite ominous. Helpless in the beginning and then devastating xD Never quite liked the doom aspect, because I don't really understand it. At least I'd be hawt in le briefs.

Act 5 Act 1
Spoiler:
Maybe Sollux was doom-y because he killed his matesprit? And because he heard voices of the doomed and knew that he was going to become blind and that Alternia would die and whatnot. But that might have been because he was a Mage too.


Also, stumbled upon this. Only in spoilers because of size.

Lt. Col. Fantastic January 7th, 2013 2:15 PM

Spoiler:
I think Sollux was doom-y just because Skaia. Doesn't it preset the classes and aspects for each player even before the universe begins? I think the visions and voices were an effect of the Doom aspect, not a cause.

I also do not understand the doom aspect really. Or the mage class for that matter. I think maybe the mage is like a seer, only they hear things? Instead of seeing them? I dunno.

Doom is probably only useful in the seer classes...not really sure how doom could be a weapon or utility otherwise. Maybe by giving others visions of doom, you could lower their morale? But that seems like a pretty weak power considering the other aspect weapons. Space, Time, Light, Breath, and even Hope are awesome weapons. Assuming the science wand was actually hope as a weapon, like Eridan supposedly could use.



Oh wow, how annoying is it that my whole post is in spoilers? It's probably okay without them, mainly talk of aspecific class and aspect, but has some spoilers for the end of act five act two so I put it there anyway.

Welcome, Urugamosu! :D

Guys I think I found what Drew was talking about with the other newer aspect or title test, but I'm not sure if I should link it now because it's undergoing major changes that the creator's fixing (like bias towards a specific title / aspect due to a faulty online personality test, etc.) but yeah the original one's still available and ready to take. Do you guys want a link?

Took that test and got Prince of Blood. Which is something I did not expect at all. ._.
So what am I now, really? Page of Space? Mage of Void? Or Prince of Blood? lmao

Also get that dirty pic in spoilers away from this thread, Red. Hahaha.

Don't think we need to spoiler class/aspect stuff ;) It's so interesting that everyone should take part in it if they want! Prepare for wall of text... Uh, I think I'll spoiler it just because it's a long post otherwise.

Just long text on theories around aspects/classes
Spoiler:
I think, like Heroes of Time have an understanding of Time as Rose and Dave put it, Heroes of Doom probably have an understanding of Doom that others haven't. Perhaps it'll manifest itself as visions or voices of the "imminently deceased". Lemme formulate theories here. I love doing that since I'm currently in the process of remaking Checkmate to be interesting and more simple even for people who haven't read Homestuck.

A Seer is mainly a coordinator and thinker. A Seer of Doom could probably figure out how to best avoid doom for their teammates and how to bring it to their enemies. A Knight of Doom would use Doom as a weapon to defend his allies and fight his enemies, maybe by fighting in a style that's unusually apocalyptic or dramatic? A Thief of Doom would steal Doom from somewhere and use it for him/herself. Probably not to doom him/herself but rather to bring doom to their enemies. Aspects are not so much about literal powers as they are about what will happen when you fight or act in SBURB. While classes state when and how and on whom you should use your powers. I think many fan-explanations think like this at least.

Also, Mage is in many places online believed to be a class where the person does a lot of inexplicable or unexpected stuff or being very cryptic. Some fan-theories think the class is given to match the person, others think it's given to be the opposite of what the person is, to make them grow. So if they are usually very straightforward and don't like mysteries at all (like Sollux, lol) they can become Mages in SBURB and have to learn how to be weird, sort of. Like selfish/careless people might end up being Rogues (though Nepeta wasn't really selfish, hmm) and have to assist their teammates a lot.


Act 5 mostly
Spoiler:
Sollux did weird stuff like magic with his eyes and had an incredible number of dreamselves and I dontevenknowwhat he is now, half-dead? Sure, his eye magic was due to his psionic powers and his double dreamselves were due to his sign as gemini, but maybe they were because of his Mage class since classes are decided long before they enter the game, probably? ;)

Adding you. Welcome to the club! I know, right? I wonder how much Hussie did plan ahead and still do, and what he randomly came up with as he went along.

I came to this pic in Heinoustuck and then I thought ;; and ;_______;


Unless you mean something else xD

Do you guys want a link?

Took that test and got Prince of Blood. Which is something I did not expect at all. ._.
So what am I now, really? Page of Space? Mage of Void? Or Prince of Blood? lmao

Also get that dirty pic in spoilers away from this thread, Red. Hahaha.

I want a link for the old one, please :3 I think I'll do the other test again and see if I'm still a Page of Doom xD Though from the personality explanations of the aspect and class they give, I guess it does fit me... Not sure I like that fact xD

Maybe you'll end up in the Glitch FAQ's Replay Value-verse and can be all of them in different sessions ;)

tehe. I did spoil it, yo



Anyways. Since everybody's doing tests and stuff now, let's make the main topic relate to that:

Regardless of what you get in tests, What is your favorite Aspect and Class?

Lt. Col. Fantastic January 8th, 2013 3:11 PM

Hmmm....My favorite Aspect is probably Time. It's just awesome being able to time travel.

As for class...Maybe Heir? I like the look for god tier a lot, and they seem to have awesome powers. Using their aspect to protect themselves, and even becoming it is just awesome. Similarly, I think Knight is cool, considering they use their aspect as a weapon, but to protect instead of destroy.

Speaking of destroy, I also like Bard. Prince's are too open and in your face, while bards are sneaky and manipulative, but equally powerful, methinks. If Gamzee is any indication, you just don't mess with the bard. (Although cronus is weaky weaky weak sauce, so it might just be Gamzee you don't mess with)

moon January 9th, 2013 3:03 AM

I like Knight and Thief and Rogue. Thief and Rogue are just cool with how they use their powers, like Vriska and Meenah and Roxy. Knights are interesting since they are protecting fighters; Dave and Karkat cared a lot about their friends even though Dave did all he could to be a coolkid.

As for aspects, Void is really cool. There are also some fan aspects that I like more than the canon ones ^^

also ABOUT THE LATEST UPDATE NOW
Spoiler:
So apparently Callipe's and Caliborn's jujus were a pair of SUCKERS (interesting, since that was the last word Doc Scratch wrote in pesterchum before he died) and what the hell happened to Jane. I'm kind of freaked out.


and something I found about the origins of the cherubs. It... makes sense!

Cid January 9th, 2013 8:56 AM

Link for the most recently made, unrevised, and fairly popular aspect/title test right here. :3
If you're looking to find out your god tier title, I recommend you take that test! It's fairly accurate and gives you interesting (and sometimes surprising) insights about yourself with the results. :D Still not perfect because it tends to give out the same selection of classes and aspects (probably a fault on the accuracy of the online personality tests involved), but it's gonna be revised soon.

What is your favorite Aspect and Class?
Favorite aspect is an easy one. It would be Time all the way. :D I've always wanted powers related to timey-wimey stuff so to have an aspect like that is awesome. Plus Dave is awesome, so. B) Runner-ups would be Light, Space and Void. B) Because of Rose (plus Vriska and Aranea), Jade (plus Kanaya) and Roxy, respectively.

As for favorite class, I'm not really sure. D: Either Rogue, Page, Knight, Seer or Sylph. I can't pick. But I might as well say why, haha. Rogue is awesome because of Roxy, first and foremost, but I also really like how it steals for the benefit of others because that adds so much interesting shades to the class and its perceived powers. Page I'm also really interested in, because I've always liked the concept of having an inner, untapped potential within a pretty slapstick character that's just waiting to be released, haha. Knights are awesome because of Dave and Karkat, and the fact that they are straightforward and embody how I'd like my aspects to take form usually is just something that's admirable with this specific class. (b'')b As for the Seer, it's something that I've grown to like after observing how kickass the Seer of Light's powers are, and I think that this class just always provides a lot of unique, helpful perks to any session of Sburb, really. Lastly, Sylph I've grown to like more recently because of Aranea. In retrospect, the dancestors fall a bit flat when you compare them to all the other characters, but Aranea has been an exception just for how interesting and useful she's been to the development of other characters, imo. Also Kanaya is a Sylph! Kanaya's the best character ever, so. :D

EDIT: The latest update is just really, really offbeat and bizarre, haha.

re: latest update
Spoiler:
I sensed the final Doc Scratch message being referenced, too! That quote was from [S] Cascade, if I'm not mistaken? I really wonder what that means, because it adds a whole new meaning to that statement (and to how far into the future Doc Scratch really knew, I mean these events took place post-scratch! way past his expiration date) and not just slyly demeaning the trolls/kids with his final word. Also I just don't know what to think about Trickster Mode Jane. I've always wanted her to gain awesome powers and really make an impact but.... not like this.


origins of cherubs
Spoiler:
That is one freakin' solid theory. I mean I'm actually pretty convinced that the first part of it is actually what Hussie plans to reveal sooner or later. Only qualm is that assuming the members of The Felt are also cherubs, then how did they appear? If the cherub race was just Gamzee's creation all along, how come those billiard-themed baddies exist? I'm confused.

I'll take the test! If I get page or Doom again, we'll know it sticks lol


I'm thoroughly confused about the last updates. I really have no idea what Hussie is planning.

update
Spoiler:
Yeah, she's adorable and freakily scary at the same time. And how she made her planet grow bright forest-stuff all of a sudden? And did Caliborn just fall in love with her? O.o


cherubs
Spoiler:
The... felt? I... I have never even thought about it. NEVER. I just assumed they were weirdly colored carapacians that Lord English had created or something. But maybe they are cherubs! But I still think that's not quite it.

Lt. Col. Fantastic January 12th, 2013 7:45 PM

I took the newer test and got Prince of Life. What the hell? I got three different classes and three different aspects. lol

update
Spoiler:
Oh jeez Jane, did you have to kick Jake off a cliff like that? >_<
also you're fraking me out a bit. I'm not sure if I like tricksters, though the

CAUCASIAN

canon joke was hilarious, best part was the reaction.


cherubs
Spoiler:
I think the felt are cherubs too, but that doesn't mean Gamzee didn't make them in the first place. If Gamzee made Caliope and Caliborn...that doesnt mean Caliborn (who I'm assuming is Lord English) couldn't have made the felt via ectobiology and other shenanagins.

Cid January 12th, 2013 10:29 PM

I actually wish I got an aspect or title that I already did, just for consistency. But nope. XD I'm like Lt. Col. Fantastic here, got Mage of Void, Page of Space and Prince of Blood on three different tests. Speaking of which, I actually took that last test again, twice. Got Prince of Heart both tries. Guess I'm really a Prince now for that test at least, but I'm nothing like Dirk! Also I was supposed to have the Witch class because I have analytic intelligence (creative was just second) for the second personality test, but there's the gender restriction of that class, haha. Plus the Tumblr post says I should just move to the next, which was creative, so I got Prince as a failsafe. -_- So idk. lol

Me neither. It feels like Hussie's dragging the story or something. Like I thought it was gonna be some major plot point events after/during Jane's birthday but now it's just... not as serious as I expected.

update
Spoiler:
I think Caliborn was just dazed or something with all the bright colors, haha. That or he secretly had a trickster / candy / caucasian fetish. But yes Jane still freaks me out a little, because she's not acting normal and this thing that's possessed her is using Jane's body to do creepy and awful things! D:< although it is sort of adorable plus forest stuff was obviously trickster mode powers haha

Also Lt., Jane did that as payback because she's secretly still angry at Jake for everything but is just too overwhelmed with happiness to say it. ;D Also because apparently Trickster Mode makes you wanna infect someone else with the disease? Kinda like werewolves, zombies etc. But yeah, I wonder what Trickster Jake's gonna look like.

I agree that the joke was hilarious though. Trickster Mode's really something.


cherubs
Spoiler:
I think they are cherubs because of the jujus and Lord English, but I don't know. It is possible that they're just created by Caliborn or maybe Gamzee again with ectobiology. But fifteen? Okay fourteen. That's a lot to make with ectobiology. How will their genes mix in so many combinations without making them look like each other? :O

Lt. Col. Fantastic January 12th, 2013 11:04 PM

update!!!
Spoiler:
Omg did anyone else notice Jake twerking in the mini dance?

Also....Trickster jake looks kinda stupid. Then again...trickstermode itself is really silly.

I don't really like this. Actually, this is probably my least favorite part in homestuck. Sure its funny and all, but I was looking forward to some really great plot stuff on Janes birthday. And This trickster thing is kinda infuriatingly mysterious

Cid January 13th, 2013 12:48 AM

Haha, I suppose this post will just be spoilers about the recent update and nothing else. ^^;
To anyone snooping around this thread looking to get into the franchise, I apologize.

update
Spoiler:
Glad I didn't! @[email protected]

He does look stupid, lmao. I guess Hussie got rid of his glasses so that he fits John's Trickster Mode template? Pretty lazy, haha. What happened to Jake's pair of shoes that got knocked off his feet in the previous update, though? Ah well, it's probably gonna magically reappear after Trickster Mode fades, or maybe it's already the colorful shoes that Trickster Jake's wearing.

I don't like it either. D: He's working on these interactive flashes for no good reason, because we all know that got old pretty soon. At least for me it did. u_u Plus the Jane's birthday plot points couldn't mean this! Whatever happened to those jujus ugh. The suckers suck. But yeah, it's Hussie's comic, and I trust that this isn't just a troll effort and that he'll make it interesting again.

The only thing is, right now I have no idea how he'll pull that off.

moon January 13th, 2013 2:00 PM

about that "canon" joke
Spoiler:
What does CAUCASIAN mean? I know what the word means, but what does it imply in Homestuck?


about the update
Spoiler:
OMGWHAT is Hussie doing. I wonder if readers ever felt this confused at earlier points in the story. But I still feel confident enough that he's actually planning something epic that will all make sense in the end with all this. He must. Otherwise... Otherwise I'll reread the good parts again ;; Act 4 + Act 5 Act 2 <3



Speaking of which, for anyone who doesn't want to discuss the current updates or just feel like mixing their spoiler-rich post up with something else xD

Which one is your favorite Act so far?

about that "canon" joke
Spoiler:
Everybody flipping there lid about the characters' races. Everyone seems to freak out at any mention that the characters are white, african american, jewish, whatever. So Hussie was keeping them drawn in a symbolic manner (which is actually very pasty white anyway) too keep the fangirl/boy rage down. And the caucasian joke was brilliant, because it shows how silly the situation is anyway. Buuut, he changed it, because it just made more people angry. w/e



Which one is your favorite Act so far?[/QUOTE]


I'm gonna say...either act 3 or Act Five (all of the act fives. allllllll of them.)

Act three because that was the most entertaining part before act 5, which is just awesome.

Act Six is pretty good too, though.

about the update
Spoiler:
Hahaha, Erisolsprite is my newd favorite sprite. Jesus Chris I laugh everytime he talks.

Other than that, the whole "lets have sexual relations" part was pretty funny. And I guess trickster Roxy is up next :(

im scared....

moon January 15th, 2013 4:33 AM

canon joke thing
Spoiler:
What! He seriously changed it? People are so dumb if they get upset about something like that O.o This page, right? http://www.mspaintadventures.com/trickster.php?s=6&p=007621


updatetalk/spritetalk
Spoiler:
I wonder how those sprites work, really. Arquiussprite liked the same things as Equius but talked as much as AR did. Fefetasprite doesn't talk at all O.o I think Sollidansprite and Neferisprite would have been better names for them btw ^^ I'd like to see more of Tavrissprite! Eridan and Sollux and Equius are still in the dream bubbles with Meenah and all, so Vriska and Tavros should be able to exist there even though their bodies are merged in a sprite, right? But then I don't really understand why they remembered being sprites after they exploded.

I think the babies-talk makes candyJane and candyJake even more creepy o_o And I hope Roxy and Dirk are too clever to become candypeople too. Because I'd be so scared if Dirk turned out like that! And Roxy would surely go drunk again. On sugary liquor~

I kind of wonder if Hussie has gotten the idea of this from the talk about Saccharine Dopplegangers I've heard in some fanons. If it's actually a canon term already, I've completely missed it.


I think I like Act 4 because...
Spoiler:
Rose and Dave enter the Medium as well and the trolls are starting to appear more and it really feels like they are PLAYING SBURB and didn't really realize that they were completely and utterly screwed yet. Maybe Rose knew. But.
Act 4, from what I recall, is where the story starts to grow.

I also love Act 5 Act 2, because...
Spoiler:
we return to the kids again after having gone through a weird, rather non-linear story about the trolls. Not really a fan of Doc Scratch's segment, but I love when John is on Skaia and when Dave and Jade are together and when hell breaks loose on the asteroid
and when everything just starts falling into place.

Gosh. I love Homestuck. It's so indescribable. After you've seen [S] WV Ascend at the end of... Act 2, I don't understand how you can not be fascinated. Haha :3


EDIT: The amount of spoilers in this post is just ridiculous :3

Lt. Col. Fantastic January 15th, 2013 12:58 PM

canon joke

Spoiler:

Cid January 18th, 2013 6:15 AM

Which one is your favorite Act so far?
Favorite act? Man, that is hard. I'm gonna have to go with Act 5 Act 2. [S] Cascade and the events that led up to it were just amazing. No words can describe how awesome that act was. I also liked Act 4 a fair amount. It just felt like what Homestuck and the kids were all about, right before the trolls took center stage. And lots of Sburb quirkiness were in it, too. :3

beyond act 4 major spoilers
Spoiler:
Jack Noir was a huge decoy of an archenemy though. That was my one qualm that tipped off the scale from Act 4 being my favorite to being just one of my favorites.


update
Spoiler:
Now there's three candy people. candyJane, candyJake and candyRoxy. Surprisingly, Roxy's felt most natural. I don't know, it feels just like drunk Roxy that typed in all caps with HTML that I suppose took a few cans too many of Tab, haha. Not looking forward to candyDirk, oh god.

About that Caucasian into Peachy joke, I'm really not sure why he felt the need to change it, but I guess the fans are just ridiculous sometimes. I thought it was funny. Don't really care about their race or whatever. It's a webcomic.


Also guys, have you seen this? This is just hilarious. Hussie even tweeted about the original article on Yahoo, haha. Still, I really don't know how these kinds of writers get Yahoo's Writer of the Year awards, I mean what does that say about the other Yahoo writers? Not that you should take their articles seriously, but I at least had a fair amount of respect for them before, even with taking what they say with a grain of salt into the equation. Now I just, I don't know. Still, Homestuck fans can be a diverse lot. Not fair to generalize these fans in the way that the article does it, though.

==> How far have you read: Caught up fully.
==> Answer current topic: I could go on a tangent here about why I like each act and in what aspect do I like each act more than the other ones. Why not?
Act 1:
Spoiler:
So we get introduced to John the - originally - pretty much derp. This is my least favorite part of the comic, because of how little progress the kids make. Needless to say I turned back not long after starting the first time I read Homestuck solely because of John being a derp. (And coming back to read it was one of, if not the best decision of my life.) This is probably my least favorite act because it's just so stupid. Yeah, I get it, it's supposed to give you a feel of how Homestuck works / is going to work, but... Does that EXPLICITLY REQUIRE John sticking fake arms into a cake?

Act 2:
Spoiler:
Enter Dave. You'd think this guy has the margin of badassery to make Homestuck cool in the early-game. And he delivers. So, looking at this act, it's pretty much similar to the first one. In a way. We've got John the derp getting used to the game's controls, and also the game is being explained to us, as intended by Hussie. Also John is less of a derp now and we get more of the trolls' antics.

Act 3:
Spoiler:
This act is... THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Seriously though. This act introduces the final kid Jade and also gives us a vague idea that she might unnecessarily be a pothead (although she's only really ****ing sleepy, which has to do with her being the Space player). We also see Dave and Bro duke it out on the roof. Boy is that the coolest fight ever. Okay, maybe Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann vs. the Granzeboma was a little bit cooler, but it's very close. We also see some more bumbling bull**** courtesy of John as he tries to get around his house and to the gate. And Dave then gets Sburb, yay! Rose is going to enter now. So we get an epic ****ing flash about: 1. Rose entering the game, 2. John entering the gate, 3. Jade finding Sburb. That concludes act 3.

Act 4:
Spoiler:
We get some plot advancement up in this beatch. For example, Dave and Jade figure out the ultimate alchemy stand. I want to have that at home, you just type stuff in and make it. And then. We get. Dave. Accelerate. Badass defined by an animation. And then we get Davesprite, hands down everyone's favorite sprite. We are also given (not we, Dave) the Timetables, a relic of mystical origin that allows Dave to travel through time, which becomes a central point in his journey for brodemption (bro redemption, that wasn't so hard). John also makes the paradox babies, which is kinda cool, but confusing for some people. And not long after, we cut to... Yes.
DESCEND.
Need I even say anything?

Act 5:
Spoiler:
Enter the trolls! Or rather, don't. Those ***holes confuse me even now. Their session is vaguely explained, kind of rushed and I don't get the proper time to explore their personal story arcs and personalities. The most EPIC one of these trolls is hands down Vriska, who is so well known that I don't need to mention anything else about her, other than the fact that she's OP. Anyways the first half of act 5 is a part I'm not so enthusiastic about, EXCEPT FOR TEH PARTS WHERE VRISKA IS BEING EPIC I should take my meds. Anyways, Act 5 Act 2 is easily my favorite arc of Homestuck because of... I'll just list this.
  • Vriska and John's relationship
  • Jade entering
  • Dave and Terezi's relationship
  • Terezi's artsy endeavors
  • Jack Noir getting to be even more evilly badass than already
  • Doc Scratch breaking the fourth wall and stuff
  • Hussie's erratic self-inserts
  • CASCADE
  • (Vriska)

Act 6:
Spoiler:
Longest act so far and still going. Alpha session's nice, but it's a void session, so it's KINDA dull. Emphasis on kinda. It has DIRK in it. Needless to say that mandude has more potential to be epic as hell in the future than any other character (except obviously Vriska). This act COULD have made it to my top spot, but there's one thing that Hussie should never have done EVER and he did.

TRICKSTER MODE.

Why? Just... WHY? I mean, okay, it was a nice little gimmick back when it was a nice little gimmick, but now it's a fully developed game mechanic? Also, if they DARE touch Dirk and turn HIM trickster, I'll quit. Unless his glasses become badass and orange and mildly transparent. And he gets a face robot Okay, bad joke, but wouldn't it be cool if that actually happened? Also need I not forget to mention Caliborn's INCREDIBLY COMPLEX story arc. Where did he even get the gold tooth? Did he just... Alchemize it? I mean, he couldn't have gotten to the Alchemiter that fast, he's on the other side of the planet for crying out loud!


I think that covers everything.

Nice explanations ^^ I agree with Act 4, I think I'll go reread it soon actually 8D Much stuff happens and Jack is badass. I'll add you to the member's list, welcome! Hope you'll stay and join more discussions on Homestuck here.

Update

Spoiler:
Dirk is just to effing cool for this.

Also, I think Fefeta spritesploded because Arquius and Erisol were arguing, and bringing Nepeta and Feferi apart. Something like that.

Also, what's Gamzee's deal? If he's helping LE, then why is he helping the Alpha kids as well? It seems that just killing them (one simple murder mode away) would be a lot easier. Maybe he's playing an angle on LE or something.

moon January 29th, 2013 1:55 AM

@ Ink Heart, the spritesplosion with Fefeta hasn't happened before, has it? Only Tavris. I'd wanted to see Jane's sprite reappear ;; But it seems like when they've spritesploded, they don't come back. Maybe we'll see more of Fef and Nep in the next intermission now.

Speaking of which, they should reach the alpha session just about soon, shouldn't they?

Ahahhaa I seriously didn't think Dirk would get tricksterified. But oh well.

I think the clowntroll is helping everyone just because he's the bard and bards are complete wildcards. Bringing about destruction by letting others take action. Sounds totally like helping LE at least.


And yeah, too tired to bother with a thousand spoilers. No one here said that they didn't like us revealing things anyways, so.

I hope Feferi and Nepeta do show up in the next intermission! I miss them dearly.

And yeah, they're gonna be in the alpha session very soon.

As for the Trickster stuff before it ended, candyDirk was sort of funny, but depressing at the same time when you think about it. Dirk is so sad that magic booze can't even make him forget his problems. Dang. Kinda sad that the Trickster Mode Dirk flash sunk some ships, too. And it brought the end of dear, sweet, precious Fefeta. D;

I'm still having mixed feelings with Gamzee after all this time. I don't even know what to think of him. I used to like him before he went crazy, and when he did go nuts I flipped out for a moment then sorta found it interesting, but his epic rage-filled bardassery (yes, I meant that pun) lost its charm, and then I just got tired of seeing the bard.

Anyway, I'm glad we're finally removing the spoiler tags, haha. Makes typing a lot less of a hassle.
However, I suggest we keep the spoiler tags for most recent updates, so that people who didn't know that there was a recent update wouldn't get spoiled from checking this thread out. That, or we could make a rule that you can't look at this thread without checking the site to see if there have been updates first. I don't know which would work better, but I think either would solve the problem.

update (02/02/13)
Spoiler:
That last update though. I must say, Roxy is freaking adorable. She is now my favorite HS character ever. <3 That's not saying much though, lol. Everyone else is really close to being up there too, because I've grown to like them even more now. Seriously, the alpha kids are just really getting so much character development since Act 6 Act 5 Act 1x2 Combo started. Reading these updates gets me every single time. And Hussie wrapped the Trickster mode arc up with such a heartwarming lesson, and it all made sense in the end given how this brought the four kids together by talking about their problems. I shouldn't have doubted Hussie a few posts back, haha. Oh and Jack Noir is back, guys.

Welcome! Haha, well, there are actually Homestucks who haven't read the whole thing yet. As for me, I'm in the midst of rereading it. But I kind of get stuck and bored with Act 6 xD Adding you to the first post!

@ Cid
I liked CandyDirk xD He was so cute with the red hair! Other than that, Trickster Mode only freaked me out. Ugh. But yeah, I guess Hussie did have a reason or point or something for it. As he always has.

I don't like Gamzee :( I'd like to like him but I can't :p

The most recent update is a good thing to spoil, yeah. Agreed!

update (02/02/13)
Spoiler:
What does this mean? Is Jack turning into LE?? Where does that put Caliborn? Or are we seeing two completely different moments in time here? One where Caliborn transfers his soul into Cal and one where Jack receives the doll and Caliborn enters/mixes with his soul. My theory :3 Creepy as hell (but eyecandy gifs) nevertheless.



I also think there's time for a change in topics (plus discussing the last updates, of course!), so What are your favorite FLASH animations? (apart from Cascade :p)

==> Answer current topic: My favourite flash (excluding Cascade)... Hard to say. I really like Openbound, Myststuck and some of the trickster flashes for really making homestuck such an interactive piece of work... In terms of plot and music, I really like Prince of Heart: Rise up, Descend
and Caliborn: Enter as some of the big plot-pushing flashes off of the top of my head.

Can't wait for the 4x God Tier combo :p

Lt. Col. Fantastic February 5th, 2013 1:59 PM

Hmmm.... for flash animations I'd say either the Unite Synchronization flashes or Dave: Strife. Oh, and Accelerate was pretty cool. I also like the flash where Rose enters the medium. Theres soooo many good ones, lol. I like them all. :3

Welcome! Adding you to Derse for now, then.

I know! I'm so excited, it's definitely going to be a flash animation. That's why he's taking so long time to update now... I hope they finally use the elusive song Penumbra Phantasm for this flash. It's never been fully shown, only hinted to in several other tracks. Remixed together with Doctor into Savior of the Waking World and Savior of the Dreaming Dead, it's been the theme for 2/4 human ascensions so far (John and Jade, while Dave and Rose got Green Sun, Vriska didn't really have one from what I can remember and Aradia got Megalovania).

[S] Descend was the most epic thing before Cascade, imo. But I also really like [S] Wake and [S] Jade: Enter, because they show how trollDerse and trollProspit fell and the Bec Noir thing and give real "ahaaa!" experiences, imo.


I enjoy trying to fit different music tracks to animations :3

Penumbra Phantasm? Is that on the bandcamp?
Oooh that'd be really nice though; I love when Hussie reuses music. I think Cascade was the first time I listened to a flash, so when I went back and saw [S] JOHN. RISE UP. I was ecstatic to hear it.

Oh man I love MeGaLoVania; I love songs where I can hear lots of different layers, and all the different guitar/bass layers make me drool.

Cascade was the first time you listened to a flash? O.o did you use to mute them, or what? The music is a great part of Homestuck, I think.

Speaking of which, here is an odd personal favorite of mine xD It's unofficial though and not on a "real" volume yet. http://unofficialmspafans.bandcamp.com/track/brofessor-layton-every-puzzle-has-a-brolution


Also @ update 8 feb
Spoiler:
WTF no flash? Is he getting lazy? ;; The Page clothing doesn't look like Tavros silly batmanrobinpants! Or maybe we just don't see it properly. Also, cool to finally get to see the Rogue attire!

Yeah, it's weird... I think the first time an [S] page came up, I didn't notice that it meant sound... so I read it mute the first time. Also, I remember skipping the walkarounds because I thought "hey if it's important then it wouldn't be in a game; you can skip details when playing a game". My first reading was really bad; I just wanted to get it finished. It's a shame, because now I can't enjoy reading it for the first time.
Spoiler:
I'm surprised that there's no flash, too... but I think that might either be because of the way the site is laid out (means he can't put one page/panel, perhaps?), and he can't have 2 flashes because even the .gifs link up poorly sometimes. Or he just doesn't want to give us another mini-hiatus, since twice in a row we've had to wait around a week before an update. Maybe he just wants to get back to his standard "handful of short updates in one go, or a few long ones"? Could be loads of reasons.

Though, of course, I'm really excited to see all their god tiers!

Hello Napsy! And we're glad to have you here :D

Whoa, 3 years? I only found it this summer because I heard people on some chat mention it and had to look it up to understand what they were going on about. So you are an oldschool true fan, that's cool!

I like Make Her Pay too. It explained stuff. Jade: Enter too, I love these "aha"-feelings~ Jade: Enter were in Act 5 Act 2, right? Or maybe I remember wrong. But End of Act 4 was Descend as far as I remember. Maybe I should reread it once again ^^ I'm on my second read-through now but I kind of get stuck in the relatively boring Alpha arc...

On an almost unrelated note (and partly referring to Dirk's talk in the last updates) I've really grown to like Roxy. I thought she was annoying when she was drunk all the time, but in Act 6 Act 3 (I think??) she has been rather amazing, especially with her relations with Calliope and the Batterwitch. Ahaha. Can't wait for the next update, seriously.

I like Pokemon (...) February 10th, 2013 1:13 AM

Guys.
It happened.
4x God Tier combo + Meet up combo.
Finally.


@Napsy, hey there, welcome to the club :)

I myself had caught up JUST at the beginning of the Cascade break (so ~6th september). So Act 6 was the beginning of my serial reading.
arc...

moon February 11th, 2013 1:22 AM

Yeah, I can't really believe he didn't make a flash ;; I'm... kind of disappointed. Anticlimax. Still, nice to see Jade again :3 Now, where's that meteor?

Welcome, I like Pokemon (wait actually, welcome back!), Napsy and Gunner! It's really unfortunate that you're only in Act 3, Gunner, but I'm sure you'll catch up eventually. I mean even I just started reading four months ago, but I caught up in like a month because I was just hooked and enjoyed it to bits. I guess we'll bump the spoilers back to hide yo kids hide yo wife for anything after Act 3 for Gunner here. How far are you in Act 3? Things are getting pretty interesting, yeah? ;D

As for favorite flash, I'm going to say [S] Jade: Enter because [S] Cascade was not allowed, haha. Many reasons, but I think I'll keep quiet and let the flash speak for itself so that Gunner can look forward to it. I really don't have a favorite flash, but every flash you guys mentioned are ones I really loved anyway, so I don't think I have to add anything. Wait, maybe I could add something. I loved the Earthbound-inspired interactive flashes, as I am a huge fan of the Mother series. However, the really badass cinematic flashes still take the cake, imo. They make Homestuck such an entertaining thing to indulge in, apart from the fandom.

I was really expecting a flash, too. ;; I guess Hussie got lazy? I was hoping the returning characters would at least get a flash, if it didn't happen from the changes that the alpha kids went under when the explosions happened (man, being vague so that it's relatively spoiler-free is hard, but I must do it because I feel lazy with the spoiler tags, haha). Oh well. I'm also just really really happy to see Jade again. <3

update (02/10/13)
Spoiler:
I said from my previous post how Roxy became my favorite Homestuck character, and I'm definitely sticking to this now that I hear that Rika is warming up to her too. :D She's amazing and really cute, plus all of Dirk's compliments made me see more into how she is as a person, and how she really was while sober. She has the most kickass-looking God Tier outfit out of the Alpha kids too, imo. <3 Gamzee I haven't really had any good words to describe him since Alterniabound, so I still don't get why he gets so much attention, haha. B2 session i.e. post-Scratch kids session Jack I think isn't possessed by Caliborn but simply made as a pawn or something, since I reckon he'd be less wild and crazy if he were possessed. So Caliborn is still LE. But man, I still flipped out when the entire transformation scene played out.

But yes, this recent update was just so awesome. Jade is adorable, and it's funny how she's basically talking to younger, alternate versions of her ectobiological parents like as normal Jade, while they're just stoked to see another human (with odd dog ears and space powers to boot!), haha. I wonder if Jake has made the connection that it was this Jade he was writing to as a penpal. And where is John? Dealing with the Condesce, perhaps? So excited to see Dirk and Roxy meet Dave and Rose eventually, ahh. Oh and the beta kids finally catching up with each other after all those grueling years of being stuck with their ectosiblings, sprites and/or a couple of dead (or alive) trolls. John, Rose, Dave and Jade must have missed the other two. Excited to see their reunion!

I wonder how far Rose and Kanaya's relationship have progressed. :o

I'm not sure if lazy would be accurate. I figure it might be because we've had a very recent period of "break for a week then MASSIVE UPDATE" for a while now... I think it's quite nice to go back to normality again (I love the feeling of waking up and checking the update very first thing in the morning).

I wonder how far Rose and Kanaya's relationship have progressed. :o

Spoiler:
Roxy is definitely one of my favourite kids (hell, I really like the StriLondes in general, but the Prospit dreamers are definitely catching up.
And hell yes she has the best alpha outfit. I am not a fan of the Prince's or the Page's legs, and Life's grey is very... drab.

Gamzee is simply the embodiment of the wildcard. That's really all there is to it, I guess.

About "Lord Noir" (a nickname I've heard, haha), I think... Caliborn was controlling him through Lil Cal. Whether this counts as "possession" or not, I'm not too sure. At the very least, Noir is hyper-powered up (but still no match for Jade's first guardian powers!).
Which reminds me - I think that Lord Noir being sent to the furthest ring will be important... Perhaps Bec Noir and PM will meet him? I still think all the Noirs/Slicks (Spades Slick from A2, MAYBE also from A1 if we ever see that session, Bec Noir from B1, Lord Noir from B2, and hell maybe even Cherub Noir from the Calisession may come). 3/4/5x stab combo, anyone?

I have a feeling Jake has made the connection that Jade is who he was talking with - I think they both signed their name down? Plus, there aren't that many Jades he could be talking to :p

My first thought is that John is still on the ship, and Jade just teleported to Jake/Jane so she could deal with Noir. But you could be right in that he's dealing with the Condesce (which would be interesting, since he first talked with Meenah I think?). Makes me wonder when the meteor will come in, since I was expecting all the StriLondes to meet, and the Egbert/Harley/Crocker/English combo to meet.

We shall see!

Nice to see you, gunnerpow! I'll add you in. Oh my, if you're in Act 3 now, you have all the best parts ahead of you! I really loved Act 4, it's where everything is really beginning to get deep and big and serious and AAAAAH I want to read it for the first time again but I cannot ;; Don't read through this thread too thoroughly so that you get spoiled :D ENJOY your read-through! :) And watch the flash animations with your sound on ;) The music is such a great part of Homestuck.

I think we shall have the return of the spoiler tags, yes ^^ You're doing well in being vague though!
But yeah... I was really looking forward to see what music they'd use :3 Haha, that's my focus, the music. I'm really excited for Homestuck Vol. 10!

le reply
Spoiler:
My thoughts too, on Roxy. I kind of miss the old Act 5 Act 1 Gamzee ^^ He was kind of adorable, when I think about it. And yeah, I think your thoughts on LE/Jack are probable ^^

Jade is always Jade :D I'm amazed at how good Hussie is at keeping the characters true to their personalities. The only one who have really changed over time, imo, are Rose (even more dark and weird while she was a bit lighter and dull at the beginning), Dave (he kind of lost his kindofsilly coolkid style somewhere in Act 5 Act 2, I think, but Hussie got it back in the intermissions when Dave began rapping again ^^) and Terezi (face it, she used to be a smiling, creepy evilgirl but along her feud with Vriska and then her relationship with Dave and her dancestor, she turned a lot more mature and serious). Hmm. Now when I write it out, I realize those "character changes" make sense considering what they've gone through ^^; so nevermind xD
/unnecessary text brick

Kanaya and Rose! I somehow think they have already broken up, actually. So that John x Rose can happen lmfao

My thoughts too, on Roxy. I kind of miss the old Act 5 Act 1 Gamzee ^^ He was kind of adorable, when I think about it. And yeah, I think your thoughts on LE/Jack are probable ^^

Jade is always Jade :D I'm amazed at how good Hussie is at keeping the characters true to their personalities. The only one who have really changed over time, imo, are Rose (even more dark and weird while she was a bit lighter and dull at the beginning), Dave (he kind of lost his kindofsilly coolkid style somewhere in Act 5 Act 2, I think, but Hussie got it back in the intermissions when Dave began rapping again ^^) and Terezi (face it, she used to be a smiling, creepy evilgirl but along her feud with Vriska and then her relationship with Dave and her dancestor, she turned a lot more mature and serious). Hmm. Now when I write it out, I realize those "character changes" make sense considering what they've gone through ^^; so nevermind xD
/unnecessary text brick

Kanaya and Rose! I somehow think they have already broken up, actually. So that John x Rose can happen lmfao

Spoilered reply

Spoiler:



Speaking of Rose and Kanaya, maybe an interesting topic would be ships? Or should we not go there lol

I love Jade, she is simply the best at being Jade. What does Homestuck need? More Jades. But have you ever noticed that Rose seems a bit...Jaded? And Jade is notorious for wearing Rose colored glasses? :0

I'm thinking the meteor is gonna come out by derse's moon (or where it used to be, haha) and Dave and Rose are gonna fly out like "hey" and Dirk and Roxy are gonna be like "omg its our parent". And then Karkat is gonna come out and be like "HEY NOOKSUCKERS BLAH BLAH TAINTCHAIFING CHRIST" and Roxy is either going to think he is adorable or repulsive, lol. (sorryif that doesnt make sense, I'm really excited)

Aaaand, I think John's on his way to meet up with Jade, Jake, and Jane. (haha wow thats too many Ja_e names in a row) Jade can teleport and whatnot, and I think John has to fly, so it would take him longer to get there (but in that case, why didn't jade just warp him there too?)

As I post this, I have passed this page... Dont click it if you are new and havent gotten to the end of Act 3...

My reaction...

GAHHH, ITS COOL ;; asdfghjklgesbudfjnbthaesnhnae!

I played it twice tbh... What more could there be in store for me? :D

Oh, and time paradoxes are the coolest part of the story <3

Cid February 16th, 2013 9:03 PM

Welcome to the club, wc! :D Also Gunner, try your best to read the Intermission and not skip it, because wcdaily is right. It's gonna be relevant later on, so you have to at least try reading it even though it feels different from the rest of Homestuck. ^^; It's just as badass anyway, so why skip?

update (02/16/13)
Spoiler:
Guys! Bad news. D:

Jade went grimbark and Jane went Crockercorp bananas, Little Red Riding Hood-style— all with the Condesce's overpowered mind control shenanigans. John is nowhere to be found, Roxy and Jake are captured, Dirk was transported in the same place as Lord Noir, and the Condesce is smoking a cigar with a pile of boondollars. Just, ugh. This is unbelievable. I thought I knew Hussie, and that he loves messing with the fandom, but this. This was not okay (actually I'm okay with it now, but back when I was reading it I was just wtf). He just blindsided us with one fell swoop. To think we only wanted a happy reunion. And for Jake to put on his pants. How did it all go wrong so fast? ;;

Seriously, as hot as Jane's new outfit is, the update broke my heart. He ended Act 6 Act 5 without a flash, too. Oh well. There is a silver lining, at least. Karkat and co. are coming. With crab walkie-talkies.

Ah yeah, I agree. Still, right when you said it, he comes back to the routine of break for a week then MASSIVE UPDATE with the end of that last Act Act. :p

And hell yes she has the best alpha outfit. I am not a fan of the Prince's or the Page's legs, and Life's grey is very... drab.

Gamzee is simply the embodiment of the wildcard. That's really all there is to it, I guess.

About "Lord Noir" (a nickname I've heard, haha), I think... Caliborn was controlling him through Lil Cal. Whether this counts as "possession" or not, I'm not too sure. At the very least, Noir is hyper-powered up (but still no match for Jade's first guardian powers!).
Which reminds me - I think that Lord Noir being sent to the furthest ring will be important... Perhaps Bec Noir and PM will meet him? I still think all the Noirs/Slicks (Spades Slick from A2, MAYBE also from A1 if we ever see that session, Bec Noir from B1, Lord Noir from B2, and hell maybe even Cherub Noir from the Calisession may come). 3/4/5x stab combo, anyone?

I have a feeling Jake has made the connection that Jade is who he was talking with - I think they both signed their name down? Plus, there aren't that many Jades he could be talking to :p

My first thought is that John is still on the ship, and Jade just teleported to Jake/Jane so she could deal with Noir. But you could be right in that he's dealing with the Condesce (which would be interesting, since he first talked with Meenah I think?). Makes me wonder when the meteor will come in, since I was expecting all the StriLondes to meet, and the Egbert/Harley/Crocker/English combo to meet.

We shall see!

Spoiler:
I'm glad you like Roxy, too! :D I agree, the StriLondes are pretty awesome, but everyone else has their own brand of awesome like you say so it's all cool.
The best alpha outfit kind of became moot when she didn't void her way out of that Condesce situation though and just went on to put one of the most hilarious reaction faces Hussie has ever drawn, haha. I mean I reacted like Jake did and was just in the verge of tears, but Roxy was just like derp why did I ever quit drinking. XD; Life's grey was very drab, and I guess Hussie agreed. Now Jane is one sexy mofo. Mind-controlled, sure. But it's way better than the old colors!

I still don't like mirthful Gamzee. :( But yeah, I suppose it's Hussie's comic, and he seems pretty consistent with Gamzee. Although that's ironic to say, since when has Gamzee ever been consistent? :p

I like Lord Noir so I'm gonna use it. I agree with the theory that Caliborn was controlling him, too. I guess when characters get overpowered, they immediately become one of the bad guys? I don't know, it's a trend I've been seeing. Jade was certainly someone who could single-handedly kill off everyone (apart from Lord English, maybe? but she was still pretty dang powerful), so to have her go grimbark was an interesting ploy. That way, it becomes more climactic, like you're not sure how the heroes will win. Hopefully with Lord Noir being in the furthest ring, he'll meet Bec Noir and PM instead of the meteor where Dave and co. are in. Because Dirk should meet with Dave and co. first, conveniently so since he's also in the furthest ring now.

Yeah I think Jake knew. Which makes it even more horrible of a sight for him to see the two girls with him going bananas, and Jane hitting him in the gut yet again (but this time with an intent to kill, presumably). He must have had no idea what the hell was happening. Poor Jake. ;;

That meeting will be stalled yet again, from how horribly Act 6 Act 5 ended. Seriously, where the hell is John? Is he still parking the ship or what? He needs to make his ectobiological sis snap out of her trance.

I think we shall have the return of the spoiler tags, yes ^^ You're doing well in being vague though!
But yeah... I was really looking forward to see what music they'd use :3 Haha, that's my focus, the music. I'm really excited for Homestuck Vol. 10!

Ohh haha, I thought the anime was a huge troll effort, too. Even though I knew the rumors were fake already because I started reading late last year. But yeah, the daily updates surprised me, too! I think I also started reading during a hiatus. :p

Thanks. XD; The music is amazing, so I'm really excited for the next flash because of that, too. <3 I think I should go get a copy of the soundtrack. I didn't even know it was already in Vol. 10. o3o

Spoiler:
I miss Act 5 Act 1 Gamzee so much. ;; He really was endearing and funny. With the Lord Noir theories, I think I like Pokemon hit the spot with the theories, haha. Speaking of theories, though! I heard of a theory that the batterwitch was actually on our side and we haven't realized it. Like she hates Lord English for one, another because she has actually had so many chances to kill off the alpha kids and she didn't, third because of her attempts to get Roxy into her plans before Roxy escaped (even giving her a ring that enhanced her powers as a hero of Void), and lastly because she's practically Meenah (whom I think has some good within her despite the, at times, obnoxious personality) in a different timeline.

Jade was adorable but Hussie ruined it with grimbark. I mean I wished people would take Jade more seriously like many other Jade fans, but not like this. ;; Still, I have to agree with Hussie's amazing ability to make the characters feel true to their personalities. The character development is absolutely welcome, though! So that was an unnecessary text brick, sorta. XD;

I think Hussie just plans to sink all ships and not have anyone ending up with another or something. :p

I love Jade and I love that you love guys love Jade. <3 But again, grimbark. ;; Although I actually noticed the two sort of being foils / counterparts of each other. I mean look at their titles. Rose sounded like a Witch of Space at first (fascination with wizards and dark arts), and Jade sounded like a Seer of Light at first, too (being able to see the future through her dreams). It's cool how Hussie implemented that sort of element into the beta kids.

That sounded awesome. </3 I wish Hussie gave us at least a few more days to be happy with the reunion feels instead of just crushing them with Condesce's antics. ;;

Who actually knows where John is right now? I certainly don't, smh.

gunnerpow7 February 17th, 2013 3:25 AM

So... I just reached the Recap log of Year 1 and had to read it coz I didnt get some of the details before due to the time travel thingies... :/

And so far, things are getting to be more awesome! <3

Cid February 17th, 2013 6:23 AM

I personally went on with reading all the recaps just because I don't really understand everything on the first read. Plus I avoided the fandom like the plague back then because I didn't want to be spoiled, haha. That meant I couldn't look anywhere to get answers if I had a question related to the plot. So in retaliation, I did read all of the recaps. Suffice to say I got a lot of info in reading them! Hussie worked hard for those anyway, so it's also out of respect for the guy.

Year 1 is just the beginning. Wait until you see more! It's gonna be even more awesome for sure. :D

Limanya February 17th, 2013 12:17 PM

Omfg "grimbark". I love that WAY too much right now.
I don't think Dirk and Lord Noir (awesome, it's caught on; thank you whoever I read it off of!) are in the same place. The question marks next to their image makes me think either "we have NO CLUE where they are" or "they're somewhere/somewhen in the furthest ring but not too sure when/where exactly". Either way, they were on opposite sides of the image, so I don't think we have to worry about them being next to each other.
I love being surprised so majorly like this. Makes me love the story even more.

I agree with you on Jane's new-found attractiveness (funny how a colour change makes a difference like that).
I was grinning madly when I saw Karkat :D

You can predict Gamzee to be unpredictable! :D

Hmm... I figure Lord Noir might meet up with Bec Noir and PM, and Dirk might meet up with the trolls and co. Can't say for certain though.

That does make some sense; though ultimately I think she's a third party. She likes her power and she wants to rule; she's working with Lord English to meet that goal, but she also has her own plan going on too (which partly include the kids). Her best case scenario is probably to defeat English, and the kids.

I honestly have no idea how ships will work, in the end.

We... might see some John in this intermission, I think?

gunnerpow7 February 18th, 2013 4:56 AM

So, I just reached the End of Act 4 and it was OMFG reaction... And just realized that that entry was published on the 413th day since the series began ~.~

413 is an important number in the series!

Limanya February 18th, 2013 5:00 AM

Yes! Just like 612 and 1025 and 111111!

Cid February 18th, 2013 8:08 AM

Gotta love them arc numbers. (b'')b Whenever I see those numbers anywhere irl I just immediately get reminded of Homestuck, so that's pretty much why they're awesome and a staple to the series, haha. As for paradoxes and loops, they are pretty interesting but also kind of too complicated at times that it makes theorizing and compiling stuff harder. But yeah, I still enjoy them. :p

That's just dedication, bro. XD; Seriously, if you saw how long my replies were with the Kingdom Hearts-related discussions back in the old Square-Enix fan club thread, what I typed in this thread just pales in comparison, haha. I enjoy this franchise a lot. It's the least I could do to contribute to the fandom.

Speaking of which, I actually wish I wasn't so lazy with joining the MSPA forums. It's been almost six months and I still don't have an account there. ;;

Spoiler:
I love grimbark as a term, sure, but I don't like how it turned Jade into an overpowered Bec Noir with Witch of Space powers. It's like getting one of the sweetest people you know and making them pure evil, all berserk and on steroids. D:

Ah yeah, I actually meant that they're both out beyond the furthest ring, but not at the same place. But yeah, I agree that it's probably foreshadowing the two groups of characters who'll possibly be arriving in that session through the furthest ring (and thus, Lord Noir and Dirk will encounter one of each). The meteor with Karkat and co., and the two wolves, PM and Bec Noir. Hope that your theory of which meets up with which comes to fruition.

I actually like the twists, too. But my first reaction to that whopper of an update was just wtf. I mean it was just borderline horrifying and not okay (again, I'm okay with it now, but I was really just utterly devastated back then, lmao).

I hope Jane keeps the colors even if she snaps out of her trance (probably not, but a guy can hope, right?). The original colors were horribly plain. But yeah, Karkat is awesome. I was happy to see his crabby text again, and again that crab walkie-talkie with the speaker crab function, haha.

I suppose you could do that, haha. Gamzee has always been unpredictable though, so it's probably more of a surprise if he suddenly isn't unpredictable for once.

Hmm, that is the likeliest case. I just wish if Hussie's gonna go with that, that she gets a chance to talk with Meenah to prove that she actually has shades within her. Or anyone else who could do that. Maybe one of the kids or trolls could, I don't know.

I think it'll be most convenient for Hussie if he just sticks with one or two relationships and make everyone else just good friends.

Hope John appears in the intermission like you say. Seriously, is he not worried about Jade?


update (02/18/13)
Spoiler:
The Karkat x Dave bromance, holy smokes, I don't know why but I just felt really happy reading that. It's probably one of the best conversations in the comic, thus far. I mean you get an intimate Karkat for one; that rarely happens. Plus, Dave actually cares to say his peace despite all that. And he sounded genuinely comforting, towards Karkat of all people. Man, I don't know. I'm just really happy for them because they got it all sorted out and that they're actually bros for life now (Dave's words). They look pretty tight and enjoy each other's company, while still being crabby as Karkat has always been, and cool kid-ish as Dave's, so they still mess with each other without making it awkward. Those kinds of conversations keep me from quitting Homestuck, especially when updates like )(IC: Spring trap x2 combo exist. Really.

Also, Rose x Kanaya is apparently going steady (heck yeah), Karkat x Terezi has been dead for a while now, and Dave x Terezi was also cut short. I don't really know what to think of this. I mean I found their conversations and sketch exchanges pretty hilarious, but I always liked Karkat x Terezi and Dave x Jade, or heck, Dave x Rose, over Dave x Terezi, so I don't know.

I seriously don't like Gamzee x Terezi. Like I said, I've never really liked this new Gamzee, and to have Terezi getting wasted with Faygo and apparently being converted into a juggalo is just bad for her. Terezi was really okay as a character already. Why put all that character development to waste, Hussie? Now it's not just the old Gamzee. I want the old Terezi back.

I like Pokemon (...) February 19th, 2013 12:12 PM

The arc numbers are my favourite, especially how he seems to throw them in as much as he can and it always works.

I don't think Grimbarkness actually gave her a power boost; she's just being controlled by HIC. Though I can see why you wouldn't like such a nice, sweet character to jump sides, I personally enjoy the shake up. It keeps the story dynamic.

Yeah, I'm actually kind of surprised that he picked such plain colours for "life".

Spoiler:
I really love the interactions between Dave and Karkat; I won't go too indepth about it (I think Cid covers a lot), but it's just so... nostalgic to get back to them. Like meeting your old friends again after a few months.

I really think he's just poking fun with this whole... "Act 6 Intermission 5 Intermission 1". Though now we see how the Felt are being created, and Caliborn's Cal helmet. Man that thing is creepy.

I wonder what number 8 will look like...


gunnerpow7 February 22nd, 2013 9:37 PM

Guys, new topic!

What's your favorite song on Homestuck?

I mean there's a plethora of songs that can be heard on Homestuck...

You could listen to them here.

Mine is Sburban Jungle. The same one used in the ending of Act 3 and is as of yet my fave.

moon February 23rd, 2013 4:02 AM

Before I say anything else - GUNNERPOW, I hope you didn't skip the intermission after Act 3! It's important (or at least interesting) later on. Maybe you'll come back and read it again when you realize that. I know I did. :3


Great topic. I just can't answer it without listing a thousand songs xD But those I like the most are the classic ones that just set the tone for Homestuck and have inspired many later songs. George Buzinkai is probably my favorite Homestuck composer.

Here follows my favorite Homestuck songs and where they were used in case they were used. Oldest to newest:


Three in the Morning - Used when we first see Sn0wman. Several remixes of this jazzlike song have been made and it just fits in with the Midnight Crew and the Felt so well.
Remixes include: 3 In The Morning (Pianokind)

Skies of Skaia - pure beauty. First used when Nanna tells the story of Skaia's battle.
Nice remixes: Song of Skaia, Skaia (Incipishpere remix)

Ballad of Awakening - this song isn't used again from what I remember, but the deep feeling it provides when it is used in the flash where we see Jade dreaming just adds so much to the epicness that you begin to understand that Homestuck is.

Sburban Jungle - yes of course. This made Rose's entrance to the Medium thrilling. It's been used again as part of many songs and drastically remixed in Another Jungle.

DOCTOR - this is my absolute favorite of all Homestuck songs. Hands down. Its remixes are more epic, sure, but this first played when John got to see what his Land was really like and this melody just IS Homestuck for me. Perhaps the most remixed song? There are a ton of less notable remixes, and then there are two special songs where Doctor has been merged with Penumbra Phantasm, a song which has never been completely revealed... Savior of the Waking World, Savior of the Dreaming Dead
Other, more pure remixes can be found on Homestuck Vol.5 but here is one jewel: Green Ghost

Descend - this is an end-of-act flash song which consists of several different tunes. First we have the obvious Upward Movement (Dave Owns), then suddenly we have the melody from Beatdown (Strider Style) and switch into the theme of Black (which in turn is a remix of Liquid Negrocity). All in all, this theme is fantastic, as is its flash clip.
Other remixes of Upward Movement: Terezi Owns, Rize of the Denizens (unofficial but great!)

Temporal Piano - probably a remix of Temporary, or the other way around?. Too beautiful for the Felt, makes you think about what a hard life LE's servants must lead...

Gaia Queen - made for Jade, but never used in a flash. I really love it and it fits well together with the flash where Jade enters the Medium!

Crystalanthology - a feelfull remix of Crystalanthemums, a song that has been incorporated and remixed in many ways. It probably has something to do with Vriska, as she is featured in the images. Only remix used in a flash is Crystalmanthequins, which shows us a bit from the trolls' history and session.
Other notable remix: Crystalmethequins

Even in Death - mystic and strange. Maybe made for grimdark Rose but used when Roxy sleepwalks. Its remix was used to show us a bit of the alpha kids' session.
Remix: Even in Death (T'Morra's Belly Mix)

Calamity - nothing special, never used to my knowledge but still great!

Galaxy Hearts - a really nice tune. Never used, but the feeling it gives off is really nice. Kind of hopeless and mystic at the same time.

Infinity Mechanism - the artist thought about the gravity of the Scratch when they painted the image, and I'm not sure about what the composer thought. But it was used to foreshadow events in the alpha session and give us a feeling of starting off fresh, a new chance, a new Skaia! I really love the epic restart feeling that it gives off. A personal top favorite.

Moonsetter - because it's to pleasant and sad at once, especially when you look at the picture. Never used, but cute.

A Taste for Adventure - it is epic. It fits with the Cascade flash animation! I really hope Hussie makes a flash to this music one day. It would be amazing.


gunnerpow7 February 23rd, 2013 5:31 AM

Oh but I didn't! Intermissions are fun so I read it... I have reached Act 5 Act 1 and currently reading it now...

Cid February 24th, 2013 4:16 AM

Oh wow, that's really fast! Act 5 Act 1 is where all the trolls come! Fun times ahead. :D

What's your favorite song on Homestuck?
I don't know what the song names are! I'm a bad Homestuck fan. D: Still, every song is pretty much awesome so I don't think I have to pick out one, haha. Sburban Jungle I actually did just know the name of recently, though! It sounds like the overall theme for Homestuck (or at least Sburb, which is the game that the whole webcomic revolves around anyway, or at least used to), so I really like it.

Also, Rika's post does not deserve being stowed away in the previous page for the 25 posts per page view format (the one I'm using) not only because I seriously have to check out all those songs that she listed and that you guys should too, but also because it's important and too impressive to get treated like that! Therefore, I am quoting her whole post in all its wall of text glory. :p

Great topic. I just can't answer it without listing a thousand songs xD But those I like the most are the classic ones that just set the tone for Homestuck and have inspired many later songs. George Buzinkai is probably my favorite Homestuck composer.

Here follows my favorite Homestuck songs and where they were used in case they were used. Oldest to newest:


Three in the Morning - Used when we first see Sn0wman. Several remixes of this jazzlike song have been made and it just fits in with the Midnight Crew and the Felt so well.
Remixes include: 3 In The Morning (Pianokind)

Skies of Skaia - pure beauty. First used when Nanna tells the story of Skaia's battle.
Nice remixes: Song of Skaia, Skaia (Incipishpere remix)

Ballad of Awakening - this song isn't used again from what I remember, but the deep feeling it provides when it is used in the flash where we see Jade dreaming just adds so much to the epicness that you begin to understand that Homestuck is.

Sburban Jungle - yes of course. This made Rose's entrance to the Medium thrilling. It's been used again as part of many songs and drastically remixed in Another Jungle.

DOCTOR - this is my absolute favorite of all Homestuck songs. Hands down. Its remixes are more epic, sure, but this first played when John got to see what his Land was really like and this melody just IS Homestuck for me. Perhaps the most remixed song? There are a ton of less notable remixes, and then there are two special songs where Doctor has been merged with Penumbra Phantasm, a song which has never been completely revealed... Savior of the Waking World, Savior of the Dreaming Dead
Other, more pure remixes can be found on Homestuck Vol.5 but here is one jewel: Green Ghost

Descend - this is an end-of-act flash song which consists of several different tunes. First we have the obvious Upward Movement (Dave Owns), then suddenly we have the melody from Beatdown (Strider Style) and switch into the theme of Black (which in turn is a remix of Liquid Negrocity). All in all, this theme is fantastic, as is its flash clip.
Other remixes of Upward Movement: Terezi Owns, Rize of the Denizens (unofficial but great!)

Temporal Piano - probably a remix of Temporary, or the other way around?. Too beautiful for the Felt, makes you think about what a hard life LE's servants must lead...

Gaia Queen - made for Jade, but never used in a flash. I really love it and it fits well together with the flash where Jade enters the Medium!

Crystalanthology - a feelfull remix of Crystalanthemums, a song that has been incorporated and remixed in many ways. It probably has something to do with Vriska, as she is featured in the images. Only remix used in a flash is Crystalmanthequins, which shows us a bit from the trolls' history and session.
Other notable remix: Crystalmethequins

Even in Death - mystic and strange. Maybe made for grimdark Rose but used when Roxy sleepwalks. Its remix was used to show us a bit of the alpha kids' session.
Remix: Even in Death (T'Morra's Belly Mix)

Calamity - nothing special, never used to my knowledge but still great!

Galaxy Hearts - a really nice tune. Never used, but the feeling it gives off is really nice. Kind of hopeless and mystic at the same time.

Infinity Mechanism - the artist thought about the gravity of the Scratch when they painted the image, and I'm not sure about what the composer thought. But it was used to foreshadow events in the alpha session and give us a feeling of starting off fresh, a new chance, a new Skaia! I really love the epic restart feeling that it gives off. A personal top favorite.

Moonsetter - because it's to pleasant and sad at once, especially when you look at the picture. Never used, but cute.

A Taste for Adventure - it is epic. It fits with the Cascade flash animation! I really hope Hussie makes a flash to this music one day. It would be amazing.


All I can say is, this is a very helpful list for ignorant people like me who have to start getting into the music of Homestuck asap. Thanks, and kudos to you. XD;

Now THAT is what I call a music post.

moon February 24th, 2013 9:48 AM

@ Cid, tehehe thank you <3

@ I like pokemon... you mentioned some songs that I definitely love but they didn't quite make it to my list ;D

Showtime, for instance - It's really important yeah. But I just don't think it's as awesome as Skies of Skaia or Doctor etc. Showtime and Aggrieve are the original strife songs and really nice imo, especially with the original video game sounding "instruments".

Your Universe - aaah, it is amazing, that singer. That. Singer.

English - It took me a while to find this and realize that this was what Caliborn: Enter's song was based on actually! I had forgotten that we had even seen it in a flash (guess which). Really, the whole The Felt album is stunning. Beautiful background music for studying or gaming or anything lol

MeGaLoVania - this is really cool and should have made it to my list, I was just in a bit of a hurry haha. Heard in the flash where one special character ascends~

At the Price of Oblivion - it's just not one of my personal favorites but I know that a lot of people love it :D

Cascade - gawd, I actually forgot this xD But the only part I'd like to call Cascade is the beginning, which is actually a guy called Tensei's remix of the track Descend! It's really good. And the whole track on Homestuck Vol.8 is... 13:14 minutes long. Comprised of Cascade, special version of Flare, special Savior of the Dreaming Dead and special Black Rose / Green Sun.

For some reason I don't like many songs on Vol. 9 :/ They just seem boring and soulless to me, the majority of them at least. Can't wait for Vol. 10, it'll probably have Eternity's Shylock! 8D <- uh, gunner, don't click that link unless you want major spoiler.

I FORGOT THE WHOLE One Year Older ALBUM. O.o It is a really good solo album I think. Favs there are several - Firefly Cloud, FantasyP, Underfoot, and the two best songs which are two of my absolute favorite Homestuck songs (man, that list just keeps getting longer, doesn't it?) are Skaian Shrapnel and Another Chance.



... so much music draveling 8D

On an unrelated note, if you ever feel bored browsing PC, step by the little game I made in Other Trivia. It's called Choose Your Own Adventure! and will probably feature SBURB in one way or another, at least if the posters steer it in a way that makes it possible xD Like MSPA but without images.


Limanya February 26th, 2013 11:50 AM

Unlike many people, i don't like Your Universe. Not at all.

i have too much favorites tho

but can i please remind everyone that Do You Remem8er Me from Volume 8 is amazing
if you dont like it go listen Lifdoff instead its basically the same but a bit different (DYRM is a remix of Lifdoff if im right)

moon February 26th, 2013 12:01 PM

@ Limanya - yes, I do like Do you remem8er me, very much! Mostly because that part of Homestuck was one of the most touching, if not the most touching.

Lifdoff? Really? Now I have got to go listen and see :D
EDIT: it is true!

Taemin February 26th, 2013 1:48 PM

Favorite songs off the top of my head are:

Cascade (full)
Black Hole, Green Sun
Blackest Heart
Orange Hat
Emerald Terror
Clockstopper
The Carnival
Unite Synchronization
Purple Bard
Blind Justice
Alternia
Heir Conditioning
Flare
Pilot Light
Even in Death (remix)
Savior of the Waking World
Suburb Jungle
Doctor

Seems like a lot, but considering how many songs there are.. it's not. xD;

TaichiWind February 27th, 2013 9:05 AM

OMG I FORGOT ABOUT THIS I'M GOMEN

Topic:
Spoiler:
I pretty much have top three songs, I guess I can break it down to these three, I din't think there's a need for a lifelong list.

==> 3. Heir Conditioning
==> This is a song I originally didn't like because of the trumpet segment. In fact, the first few times I quit listening at the trumpet segment. But I eventually made it past and oh boy is it badass. In fact, I've come to like the trumpet segments now.

==> 2. Knife's Edge
==> This is one of the songs that should be definitely used in a flash. In fact, there have been comments on YouTube that when Hussie tried to make a flash to this, his computer exploded out of sheer badassery. And I think that isn't far from truth, especially if said flash featured Dirk.

==> 1. Noirscape
==> Despite the name and cover art (and partially opening segment), I don't think this song really has anything to do with Jack Noir, much less film noir. This is yet another song that should be used in a flash and sadly enough it isn't. This song conveys a lot of emotions, just like Cascade, but unlike Cascade, it has the niche of sounding like a coherent music track, not just five songs mashed together.


Update:
Spoiler:

Transcript: Exposition, exposition, rush it out ASAP!


[email protected]: The beginning of A Taste For Adventure is actually used in the halfway-past segment of Jane: Enter (that part where it's revealed that "timey wimey shenanigan victims roxy and dirk are from the future" (as stated by my friend I will not name)), so it WAS used in a flash, but not the complete track, which is probably what you meant, but I digress.

gunnerpow7 March 1st, 2013 9:49 PM

... So I've reached the part in Act 5 where you can look at scraps of Doc Scratch at his abode and I'm sensing the Scratch will be happening soon...

Anyways, a lot has passed for me, with Gamzee going cray-cray, Rose going grimdark, and a lot of time travelling and killing...

Oh and while I was playing Equius: Seek the highbl00d, It is creeping the hell out of me... especially when Nepeta walks into the vents... It's soo thriling and shivering... :/

oh and Seer: Descend. That one is also good...

I can't believe Vriska died of a just death... :( She was one of my fave trolls... ;;

Taemin March 2nd, 2013 12:48 AM

Good thing about deaths in Homestuck is that the characters don't really entirely leave the story when they die. xD

I remember those creepy Gamzee flashes though, with Nepeta, and the horn honking in the distance. Wow I totally creeped out, and I didn't wanna turn corners. > _>;

That list of yours made me start listening to the STRIFE! album again. It's really good, especially Heir Conditioning ^^

Yes, I remember that now. But that was really only a tiny tiny intro part of it :3 Also, don't spoil stuff for gunnerpow!

Act 5<3 Be sure to read all the scraps! Especially the ones with Vriska and John and Davesprite and Jadesprite.
OH! And remember to look at the banner. The MSPA-site banner on top of the very homepage. It changes with every page, to show how Dave and Jade ran into Jack when they were breeding frogs. I completely missed that on my first read-through and didn't at all understand why Dave had lost one of his lives all of a sudden when Karkat mentioned it.

Yeah that's true :3 Vriska's army of dead doom lol

Gamzee only really killed two of the trolls right? And Vriska only really killed one. The real mean killer is Eridan :( never liked him a lot. His dancestor is better ^^ /creeping into spoilers nao but I'm careful! :3

gunnerpow7 March 2nd, 2013 3:14 AM

Oh god I love Vriska and John's scraps... Even though they were dead, it was still sweet <3

And I hate to play where you have to control the characters like in Seek the highbl00d and Seer: Descend since whenever I turn, something might pop out like in Nepeta's walk to the grates, it feels like Gamzee might pop out and scare the hell out of me... and the curtains in Descend where I thought Bec Noir might appear and kill Rose... looooooool

moon March 2nd, 2013 4:17 AM

I think those kind of flash games are really interesting just because the tension is so high even though not much really happens in the end :)

The part where John and Rose "fight" Jack after Seer: Descend is epic... so much feels.

gunnerpow7 March 3rd, 2013 4:27 AM

OMG! I have reached Cascade, and as I'm typing this, I'm going to click the link!

Soo excited <3

EDIT: My reaction to Cascade:

Spoiler:
OMFG IT WAS SOO AWESOME! I LOVE THE PART WHERE JADE ASCENDS TO GOD TIER AND BECOMES WHOA! SHE WAS SOO PRETTY TOO.... :3 AND IT KINDA EXPLAINS HOW JACK ENTERED THE TROLLS UNIVERSE... IT REALLY WRAPS THE UNQUESTIONED THINGS FROM ACT 1-5 AND IT WAS AMAZING ;;

moon March 3rd, 2013 7:09 AM

Ahahah! I think it's wonderful that we have a first time reader with us here :D I too want to watch Cascade for the first time! So amazing. So. Amazing.

gunnerpow7 March 4th, 2013 4:06 AM

Reached the end of Act 6 Act 1 Intermission....

Spoiler:
....and the only lol part bout there is the bucket!

And Karkat losing his sanity... That's a + for me... ;;;;)

I used to hate Eridan.
However, I like him better now days that I've had over year to NOT have read the part where he kills anyone. xD; But honestly, it's in their nature to kill, so Eridan didn't do anything much worse than any other troll. Most of them have killed one or more characters at some point.

Cid March 5th, 2013 4:42 AM

I used to find Eridan funny. I still do, actually. I know his sudden Prince of Hope thingo that massacred his friends was shocking, but I didn't really hate him for it. Probably because I was reading it at a time when there was no sustained suspense (reading the updates as archives is heck of a lot different from reading it in bundles), and I immediately found out that Kanaya was okay anyway so I was cool. Also, Drew already said the biggest thing that puts his actions to perspective, which is troll culture and its faults, so yeah. Gamzee, however, I still don't like. I usually like ascended extras (okay maybe he wasn't an extra but his old role was pretty minimal compared to, uh, say Dave) but Gamzee's an exception. Poor guy. He's actually a fun character, really. I just can't put my finger on why I dislike him.

In other news, since we're still on the topic of music, I think I found my favorite songs from what I've listened thus far. And it's all thanks to you guys. :D

http://i.imgur.com/WC0xCLF.png

I even made a bookmark folder for this playlist, that of which the screenshot above was taken from. But Cid, why not download? Because, I don't feel like shelling out money (not really, I'm just incredibly poor, haha), especially when I can just listen to Bandcamp! XD; So yeah. Oh and I noticed I liked a lot of the Doctor remixes and John-related music. I don't know why, haha. It's arranged from BEST. THING. EVER. to pretty awesome, by the way.

moon March 5th, 2013 9:12 AM

@ Cid, so you liked SOT waking world more than SOT dreaming dead, huh? Interesting, I prefer the latter over the former ^^ But it also depends on my mood, perhaps. Green Ghost is awesome whenever.

And ever since TaichiWind mentioned songs from the STRIFE! album, I've been listening to them a lot xD They really are really good.

Also, exposition indeed... Soon, Hussie will be home from his convention trip. So spill it, Aranea! :D:D


Music is all fun but perhaps we need a new main topic ;) Anyone got a good idea?

gunnerpow7 March 5th, 2013 7:23 PM

How about...

Who's your favorite Homestuck pair? ♥♦♣♠ * This includes all former pairs ;) *

With Homestuck's troll romance system, a lot of pairs could be paired up or something...

For Matespritship, I love John and Vriska and Tavros and Vriska... Well, to be honest, I love all of Vriska's matesprits... <3

For Moirallegiance, Nepeta and Equius, Gamzee and Karkat...

For Auspisticism, well, all kmown auspisticized pairs which involves Kanaya as the auspistice.

And for Kismesissitude, Karkat and himself. 'nuff said.

in other news, I still haven't been listed as one of the Prospit dreamers... ;)

moon March 6th, 2013 2:14 AM

What are your favorite Homestuck pairs of every kind? ♥♦♣♠

I need to think about this question for a while! :)
Also, I added you in now. Always let me know when I've forgotten stuff like this xD

Only for those who have read the last intermission.
Spoiler:
But I love Dave x Karkat. In whatever quadrant they are, but I actually believe they are just human-like buddies ^^

gunnerpow7 March 9th, 2013 9:48 AM

Well, reached the part on Act 6 Act 3 where
Spoiler:
Dirk and Jake were talking bout the Baroness


/offtopic Check out my new forumset <3

moon March 9th, 2013 1:05 PM

Ohoho. There will be more baroness, in more than one way so to speak. You just wait ;D

What a lovely theme! Could I somehow beg you to make a Kanaya one for me to match yours with? :3


EDIT: Ahaha. I have decided that for now, my favorite Homestuck characters are definitely Meenah and Roxy.

Roxy has grown on me over time and regarding ♥-ships, I like to see her with Dirk.
Spoiler:
Because he said "I don't see how [gay] has to be a thing" so that means he can't say he's gay and refuse her in that manner, right? ;p


Meenah is just badass and I think she'll be a heroine figure in some way before all this is over, heck, I even like her post-scratch version despite shenanigans xD And I ♦-ship Meenah with Aranea, I guess.

In the ♣-area, PastKarkat-Jade-FutureKarkat is a classic, even though it's weird and stupid. Jade♥Karkat is what I prefer after their adorable banter and caring logs in Act5. I know some don't agree with me but hey, that's what the shipping world is like ^^ No bashing in this thread please.

Cid March 12th, 2013 4:09 AM

Meenah and Roxy. <33 Actually Rika, I think I need more songs to add to that list. I mean seriously, Gunner made me like Savior of the Dreaming Dead a little more than Savior of the Waking World in a few minutes, so I think that my playlist is still subject to change. By a lot. XD; Probably not counting Unite Synchronization though! That track is still amazing as hell.

What are your favorite Homestuck pairs of every kind?
For matespritship / the flushed quadrant I'll probably go with Kanaya ♥ Rose just because I really enjoyed their moments of interaction, and Kanaya really shines as a character whenever she's involved with Rose in anything, and vice versa. :3 Dirk ♥ Roxy doesn't sound half bad, either. ;D

As for moirallegiance / the ashen quadrant, Equius ♦ Nepeta by far was the most entertaining. XD; Despite having Nepeta as a patron troll I never really liked her as much as Kanaya and co. until I realized how adorable she is, particularly when she's talking to Equius and with them keeping each other in line. It's really cute.

Third would be a hard pick, and reading Rika's mention of Jade ♣ past!Karkat / future!Karkat and their funny ashen quadrant antics made it even harder! D: I said it was a hard pick considering Kanaya's many attempts at auspisticism (Eridan and Vriska, Vriska and Tavros, Gamzee and Karkat, oh and Karkat and Dave), but I'm gonna have to go with the last one just because it made the Act 6 intermissions even more memorable. :P This page sums it up. Beware since that link leads to Act 6 Intermission 2 spoilers! Just in case you're not there yet.

Kismessisitude though would be a coin toss between Jack ♠ Queen and PM ♠ BN. And maybe Karkat with himself somewhere in there. I don't really know. The thing is, from what I've seen, the caliginous quadrant is the most messed up among the quadrants for me. So unless it leads to an epic showdown between the two people, I don't really find myself enjoying the quadrant and its weirdness in troll romance overall. :\

moon March 13th, 2013 5:04 AM

Unite Synchronisation is epic, yeah ^^ And I'm glad you realized how superepic Savior of the Dreaming Dead is ;D

I did a happy discovery the other day, that the horse song that was used for a certain [S] Ride scene lately already exists! It was better than the horse song on Vol.6 imo, so that was why I was searching for it ^^

Here's the old one: Horsechestra
And here's the awesome one: Horsechestra STRONG version

update:
Spoiler:
AHA! So it was Gamzee raising Caliborn/Calliope after all. Wanna bet he spent three years there? What I don't understand is Gamzee's chronology. He was on the meteor with the others, clearly, since he developed that creepy kismessistude with Terezi (it makes me shudder and I'm not sure if I like or hate it) but WHEN is he doing all this other stuff? Like, he is already in the B2 universe interacting with the alpha kids, so when did he go there?

Maybe he is traveling on the meteor just like Karkat and the rest, and enters the B2 session just like they do, and then somehow there he ascends to godhood (I have no idea how that could be possible though, since he shouldn't have a quest bed there...) and then he borrows Aradia's or Damara's time devices and hops through time somehow, doing all the shenanigans we have already seen.

I'm also still confused about Lil Cal's chronology. Dave always said there was something weird about him from the start so what if LE was inside him all the way from when Dave was introduced?

Oh guys, New ALBUM of Homestuck just released!

YAY! And cool title by the way! Naughty indeed xP

I like Pokemon (...) March 15th, 2013 7:37 AM

Ahhhh I completely forgot about posting in this club! It was the new album which reminded me to do so - I especially love "Carne Vale" and "Eternity Served Cold" the best!

Yes! I love that part - it's especially funny when you get to different kinds of deaths.

Who's your favorite Homestuck pair? ♥♦♣♠ * This includes all former pairs ;) *

I ship EVERYTHING
No lie :p

AHA! So it was Gamzee raising Caliborn/Calliope after all. Wanna bet he spent three years there? What I don't understand is Gamzee's chronology. He was on the meteor with the others, clearly, since he developed that creepy kismessistude with Terezi (it makes me shudder and I'm not sure if I like or hate it) but WHEN is he doing all this other stuff? Like, he is already in the B2 universe interacting with the alpha kids, so when did he go there?

Yeah, Gamzee's a bit of a funky one.
I don't remember too clearly, but I've seen a screencap of Terezi finding Aradia's music boxes in a walkaround flash - so presumably, when Gamzee and Terezi were together, he took them from her (or she gave them to him or something).
He probably got into the Alpha kids' session the same way that Karkat and co. are now, and probably zipped around that timeline to get to Jane and Dirk. How he got into the Cherub's session I'm not too sure, but we know that an Earth is going to be transported there, so I figure he might have something to do with that.
As for his godhood, I'm not even sure if he IS a godtier at all... when he was shot by Caliborn, it was revealed that his wings were fake - but this IS Gamzee, and I don't think we can say either way. (Though I think if he did Godtier, it would be when Jack Noir blew up the trolls' Prospit and Derse).
