Re: THE DIRKCOURSE THREAD
Seriously after all that stuff I did other people need to come up with instances of Dirk treating any of his friends horribly in the ways people insist that he does. The brobot is the literal only thing, a thing Jake only ever expresses irritation towards (when AR isn't fucking around with it to ma...

Re: THE DIRKCOURSE THREAD
*nods, nods* Alright, fair points, all of them. In the spirit of good natured debate and discussion (I am being sincere here) I shall offer rebuttals for points that I find less convincing, and we can continue have Dirkcourse in the Dirkcourse thread. You have opened the fludgates. YOU HAVE OPENED ...

Re: THE DIRKCOURSE THREAD
EXCUSE ME I'M WRITING AN ESSAY TO DISPUTE THE IDEA THAT DIRK IS LITERALLY EVER MANIPULATIVE OR ABUSIVE EVEN ONCE EXCLUDING THE EPILOGUES. Like seriously I am legit looking for instances of Dirk, in the comic, doing anything actually awful, of Dirk doing anything actually manipulative, or actually ab...

Re: Can I ask for positive opinions on Epilogues/HS^2?
The only nice thing I have to say about the epilogues is that dave, karkat, john, and terezi are delights almost every time they appear. (Almost every time. Almost.) Ships or no ships. Other than that I am probably one of the most intense epilogue-haters out there but I always support spreading posi...

Re: No Stupid Questions: The Help Thread
Well as far as kernelsprites go, I think the reason they are colored the way they either is either literally just for theming, or foreshadowing. As for what they're made of....well. Ideas? Everything in Homestuck is made up of ideas. Different kinds of ideas and thoughts combined to make other ideas...

Re: No Stupid Questions: The Help Thread
Oh, wow. You're right. Those are exactly the sprites I made. I had no idea they ended up there. Would probably have been nice if anybody had thought to mention that to me or? Like, I get it's a pretty big archival project, but you'd think an important part of an archive would also be to list origina...

Re: No Stupid Questions: The Help Thread
This is something that has still haunted me even with many hours of google search and asking around: does anyone out there know of a fully complete collection of the character sprites used in Homestuck? I've searched the Homestuck archives and they don't have everything and individual sprite pieces...

Re: Jane choices in the epilogue and Jane in general
I didn't want to start like a whole THING, though I guess that was a bit short-sighted of me. 1. Alt-right dogwhistles are literally always memes, and literally always hide behind being "just a joke", so your insistence on that point does not exactly fill me with confidence. 2. A 'fake' political di...

Re: Jane choices in the epilogue and Jane in general
This whole thread makes me feel icky because it seems to be entirely missing the point that Jane in the epilogues could literally not have been more clearly meant as a nearly direct analog for white supremacy, fascism, and eugenics?? And we're just sort of nonchalantly talking about the fact that Ja...

Thaaaaaaaaaaank you. I'll definitely be trying my best to update again this month, especially since the Patreon is actually doing very well. At least when compared to my extremely, extremely low expectations for it. I need monies....job hunting isn't going so well guys....OTL.

Re: I'm afraid for HS^2
The hilarious thing is I'm not all that excited for HS2 even though I'm personal friends with multiple people on the writing team. Which is mostly a byproduct of how much I **FUCKING DESPISE** the epilogues and EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM. The question of social media platforms is a rough one because. Wel...

Re: Which characters needed more attention and why?
JANE!!!! God. Jane had so much potential. I hold to this day that Jane had all of the exact same potential to be a fascinating morally grey and controversial character just like Vriska fucking Serket but she was just never given the narrative focus or opportunity to actually get to that point. Not e...

Re: Questions and theories about the Ultimate self
Okay here's another genuine question I do have on this topic and I'm curious to y'alls thoughts on it. If gaining power over the narration is part of the whole Ultimate Self ascension thing, what's the deal with Alt Callie? HAS she 'ascended'? Why does she need to possess Jade? And also, how does th...

Re: Questions and theories about the Ultimate self
I mean they were right though I was getting pretty 'my dad works at nintendo' there, pretty annoying and cringe, so I will shut up about that. Sorry ^^; Anyway. I'd certainly LIKE for all this Ultimate Self stuff to end up more consistent. I doubt I will find it personally satisfying, but that's my ...

Re: Is making Homestuck Public Domain really a good idea?
We are lucky thus far that they don't feel like it, which ironically is in no small part due to how the epilogue's polarizing effect on the fandom dropped the IP's profitability below anything that Viz would give a shit about. Hell, there may be repercussions not just against WP but against individ...

Re: Is making Homestuck Public Domain really a good idea?
I'd also like to make it known that as far as I'm aware, there is absolutely support amongst the WP staff for the IP to be brought either into public domain or put under a creative commons license. They are well aware that many people are unsatisfied with the current state of things, and so are they...
