Actually I've been having the same issue as Rika, it does feel like Homestuck has gotten massively disjointed and the quality of the writing has gone way down. Then again, I'm also not a fan of the periodic-updates plan, so maybe reading the whole thing over again will make it mesh nicer in my head.
This.
I think there isn't enough text anymore. Now it's dialogue-log based, and I guess that's whats bothered people. Like, back when it started, it was all about the narration. Now Homestuck has almost no narration, but that's probably because of periodic updating and trying to please the readers. Hence why Hussie would create a gigapause imo.
Ah, well. As long as he actually makes a decent number of pages in the end and doesn't hurry the last acts and subacts unnecessarily. And also I really want the last flash to be special in the likes of Cascade. And the ending must be satisfactory. I loved the ending of Problem Sleuth, it was so nicely peaceful yet exciting. Please tell me you haven't lost your touch, Hussie.
Did I just split a quote in half? Yes. Yes I did.
Anyways, if he commenced a gigapause, I expect him not to rush it. But I hope he isn't pressured by the fandom, either ;-;
For a topic, for those who feel like they have any idea about it, haha:
What music track would you want for an epic final flash? Extra: if Homestuck had rolling credits/epilogue, what music would you want there?
For me, I would love to see
Another Chance as epilogue/credits music. That and Walk-Stab-Walk are two of my favorite tracks. That's not saying much though, as I have about 100 favorite tracks on that bandcamp, haha. Or
Song of Skaia! It's a bit too beautiful and should rather be used in some kind of epilogue flash than for the actual credits roll imo.
And for the final showdown flash,
Dogfight is a big too epic to never be used. Don't you agree? :D
Dogfight is one of my favorite songs from Vol. 9, to be honest. I love it so much but I rarely see it show up. So it makes me happy you mentioned it. The only thing I have against Dogfight is that it's a little short.
As for the flash's music, I'm expecting a medley of different music, as well as it having some of it's own. Another Chance I could see for credits/epilogue, but I could just as much see Song of Skaia as it as well. In fact, I'm
really hoping Song of Skaia is being played at the end.
Personally, I'm rooting for anything that I like. Which is everything. So instead, maybe something from each act? A bit of Sburban, some Dogfight, who knows?
I'm also expecting a real song cover like How Do I Live or I Don't Want to Miss a Thing to be there too.. and A RENDITION OF DOCTOR! IT'S IMPEREATIVE THAT THERE WOULD BE A DOCTOR RENDITION :3
I'm getting a funny feeling we are getting another album :33
REALSONGCOVERSAMG. Maybe. I dunno, really; I haven't listened to many things that I see likely to fall into Homestuck lately. And I'd be surprised if there
wasn't a rendition of Doctor.
Considering that we are supposed to be getting a lot of stuff in WhatPumpkin this fall, I'm pretty sure a new album would be one of them.
On another note, I need to mess around with this talk-sprite a bit more.
