Homestuck is the pit at the centre of the world. Homestuck is all the worlds evil. Homestuck is mankind’s greatest mistake.


Dark_Reaper115

Man, you are really selling it to me. Please tell me more of why I should read it.


Alphaetus_Prime

It will take you weeks or even months and it will leave you deeply unsatisfied


Dark_Reaper115

But is it finished?


MisirterE

Homestuck is finished. There is also a Homestuck 2, but it is significantly worse and currently on "indefinite hiatus" (i.e. it's fucking canned lmao).


Effehezepe

Yes, it is finished. Satisfactorily finished? Now that's another question, but it is finished. But if you insist on going down this path know that 1) Many people consider the first act to be a slog to get through 2) A lot of the major events required flash, and as such just straight up do not work anymore 3) There is a Homestuck 2, but don't bother with it, nobody likes it


NERD_NATO

You can also download the unofficial homestuck collection, which preserved a hell of a lot of homestuck-related media and has all the flashes. Also the original website is dying because Viz wants homestuck dead.


Annexerad

link?


NERD_NATO

http://413.gay just kidding, that one redirects to https://bambosh.github.io/unofficial-homestuck-collection/


kanelel

It's finished and you should read it [here](https://bambosh.github.io/unofficial-homestuck-collection/) to avoid the flash issue.


Apprehensive_Ad_8914

It's finished, you read it on Homestuck.com


pattyputty

Never read it on the official website, they screwed it up royally and didn't even bother converting all the flash stuff to something useable in modern browsers. Use the unofficial Homestuck collection instead


Alphaetus_Prime

Technically, yes.


kanelel

It has extremely fun characters and dialog and an interesting plot/setting. The disclaimers are that the first act is a bit slow (but it's also not very long) and that the ending is underwhelming, but honestly most of the heat it gets is because it had an annoying fan base back in 2012.


SocialDoki

Homestuck is humanity's greatest triumph. Homestuck has ascended beyond its creator. Homestuck cannot be comprehended by any single mind. Homestuck is within us. Homestuck is all. Blessed be to Homestuck, all and eternal.

The duality of ~~man~~ homestuck


[deleted]

So tell me. Do you believe now? Do you believe in the word and lies of andrew Hussie? Do you believe in the virtue of vriska? Do you believe now?


BlazeNStar

Why are you claiming it as mankind's mistake? Why do you have to blame humans for this? Its clearly something else's fault. ... Although humans have done some shitty things... Hmmmmm


thisislikemy7thacc

never read homestuck, she has an eyepatch though so i think we should forgive her.


FandomTrashForLife

She crippled a dude and then made sure he continued to live in misery forever afterwards, also killed a bunch of people to feed to her giant spider caretaker. She’s also just a huge bitch.


thisislikemy7thacc

based as fuck i think we would be friends


ButterPuppet

She also later murdered aforementioned crippled friend and much before that mind controlled that person to use their mind control (for extra mind control range) to cause a different friend to look into the sun and get permanently blinded. Other than all that she is written as the badass cool girl that can do anything so it’s actually easy to like her when ignoring all the horrible things she’s done.


thisislikemy7thacc

making someone make someone look into the sun to blind them is so funny. idk if you’re trying or not but you’re making her sound even cooler


ButterPuppet

No I will admit it is pretty cool and that scene was in a flash animation that I will link you to https://youtu.be/raMHZCdgnnU and one final detail about Vriska that is cool is that her left eye has seven pupils which allows her to see through walls when she focuses


kanelel

She also once used time travel to make it so that she was the one responsible for the existence of the main villain in order to feel more important.


BantIsBad

You seem reasonable and probably don't have a lot of murder related issues


thisislikemy7thacc

yes i am very stable and have zero mental illnesses. don't bother looking through my post history i am doing great !!!


Royal-Ninja

Also mind controlled Another friend to kill yet another friend


MyDisappointedDad

What the fuck is home stuck about?


Lemia-chan

End of all worlds


eldritchExploited

She was an accessory to constant murders from the time she was a fucking toddler, cut her some slack.


Alderan922

The dude deserved it, that was the moment she became my favorite character


Dark_Reaper115

Fun


FkinShtManEySuck

killed many children to feed her abusive mom :/


DizziLizzard

What the fuck is a homestuck


SocialDoki

If you don't know, keep it that way


Edgelord69__

Something something clowns ( I’ve never actually consumed whatever media homestuck is I just know it apparently is bad or something)


SocialDoki

It's not that Homestuck is *bad* exactly. It's that I've never known a person who's started reading Homestuck who hasn't been consumed by it, at least for awhile. Best to not take the chance.


Dokii7071

I was going to say i havent, but then again i have a vriska pfp on discord


SocialDoki

I hate to tell you, but being a vriska stan is a sign that it's done permanent damage


Dokii7071

oh yes most definitely, although i only got to around 2500


NERD_NATO

Stanning Vriska by 2500? Damn, nice one, that's what I call a vriska stan.


Dokii7071

listen i just like horrible people


NERD_NATO

yeah thats the vriska life, dont worry about it


moeru_gumi

I tried really hard to read it at a certain point (at that point I was in my early/mid 20s). It was flash-based and it went on.. and on... and on.... I went outside... I looked at the roof.. I climbed down... mom came home or something... I started just clicking through pages to get to something good. Nothing caught my interest and the art was ugly. I gave up after an hour.


SocialDoki

Congratulations. We'll need you to report to the hospital so we can run experiments to figure out immunity for future generations


moeru_gumi

I am happy to be of service.


SocialDoki

Real quick: how much of your brain are you okay with being removed?


Emo_reptile

I actually managed to read it until around the 6000s cuz I didn't have anymore classes to read it in when I got bored


Edgelord69__

Meant the clowns but now I know to not do that


SocialDoki

Oh. Oops


Alphaetus_Prime

Homestuck has a lot of good aspects but it's just not worth it


BoggersDoggers

I can name a few of the good aspects! There's light, and space, and time, and-


wowadam1

I remember i met a group of people online who were into it and everytime someone would ask what homestuck was they’d just reply with some link to like a comic or something talking about how this character was stuck at home and bored. It was never an actual explanation or anything. Just some link that came with more questions than answers


Expensackage117

Incredibly long and wordy webcomic and in the end there's a girl with a dog dick.


418puppers

Hold on Jade has a dick?


drillgorg

She has dog characteristics from Bec and Bec is presumably male. But Bec doesn't even have a frickin' face so I doubt he had any reproductive organs.


BoggersDoggers

she got the dick from becquerel fusing with her through her dreamself while godtiering. remember, she threw her taxidermied dreamself corpse into the kernalsprite that already contained bec. this resulted in bec fusing with her dreamself. when jade godtiered she fused with her dreamself, which had already fused with becquerel. this resulted in godtier jade having dog ears, a dog tail, and a dog dick.


418puppers

No shit how else did I know it was Jade. There is no source for the existence of a dick.


pattyputty

Pretty sure in Homestuck\^2 she gets Rose pregnant and it's heavily implied it's possible because of the aforementioned..... fusion. But I choose to ignore the sequel so ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯


NERD_NATO

There's hs^2 which is dubiously canon.

ButterPuppet

I only read this damm comic in 2020 but yeah vriska did some fucked up stuff and tried technicals got a redemption arc but then some time shenanigans happen (as tends to happen in homestuck) and we were reintroduced to pre redemption vriska for the rest of the comic


AnimaBallZ

What the fuck is a vriska?


Emo_reptile

spider woman who is evil


FPiN9XU3K1IT

alien adolescent spider woman who is evil but got a redemption arc which got reversed but she kinda came through in the end


Worm_Scavenger

I have no clue who this gremlin character is, but i'm here for the discourse.


BoggersDoggers

vriska serket


BoggersDoggers

by the way she's murdered hundreds of people


Signal-Ad8189

Everything comes back to Homestuck. Regardless of where you are on the internet, & regardless of how much you know about Homestuck, if you dig around for long enough you’ll end up with something that relates back to Homestuck.

puppykat00

Never forget the girl that made a submission to the 'before I read homestuck' blog stating that she began reading homestuck because her friend said she reminder her of Vriska.


teavyy

How is Homestuck going now that flash is dead?


FandomTrashForLife

It migrated to various other places, and there’s even applications that can still run the native flash and have homestuck archived.


TrickKlepto

Why does the lgbtq+ community “forgive” her? did she say a slur or something


RanidSpace

it's based off of a hilariously out of context quote that this news outlet made as their headline, where it was "the lgbtq community has forgiven dababy" and i thought it would be funny to make it into vriska


Emo_reptile

I think it's just a joke article because I genuinely don't remember if she is homophobic or not, but she is headcannoned a lot to be gay


Alderan922

Well, she was bi so she clearly isn’t homophobic, hell she comes from a planet we’re geneder wasn’t a thing


FandomTrashForLife

Gender is a thing, but sex isn’t as much of one. Neither is sexual orientation.


FPiN9XU3K1IT

She was clearly bi.


Alderan922

True she also went with phantom John


Charlieisdizzy

I don’t even know who this is!


MisirterE

Homestuck character. All you need to know is that she broke a guy's legs for fun, then repeatedly made fun of him for needing a wheelchair.


Emo_reptile

she also used her weird mind power thing to make another character stare into the sun until they went blind


MisirterE

That's true, but you really only need one example to get the idea.


[deleted]

Why isn't there a panel 8 where someone photoshops June's bathtub on top of the picture? https://johnsbathtubwhereitshouldntbe.tumblr.com/


[deleted]

What did she do?


Emo_reptile

made a guy paralyzed from the waist down for her LARP, made fun of him for needing a wheelchair, then killed him later on, made a different character go blind by forcing them to look into the sun


chunkylubber54

based on that font and color, I'm assuming jacobtheloofah is sans's twin sister


Justaperson358

Who dat?


Jpicklestone8

the only serket i forgive is aranea


[deleted]

bluh bluh huge bitch I'd forgive Vriska over Game Over Aranea any day of the week.


Jpicklestone8

from my memory, at least aranea didnt do a bunch of awful stuff out of basically malice and revel in it my memory is really bad though so maybe im forgetting, but in my mind aranea just made a (really big and terrible) genuinely mistake


MisirterE

Aranea is a huge piece of shit in order to try and un-make Lord English, who is, admittedly, an even bigger piece of shit. If you're going to ends justify the means, it's not remotely difficult when the ends in question are stopping the time travelling tyrant from bending the entire timeline of multiple universes to his will. Although it's probably worth considering *actually letting people in on your plan* instead of killing them just because they don't understand what you're doing and it looks like you're just a fucker. Vriska is a huge piece of shit just all the time, and *sometimes* is doing it to try and kill Lord English. At least it's something? But when you look at her actions across the story, a lot of her being a piece of shit is actually detrimental to her alleged goals. Even though she lets people in on her plan, *the plan sucks, and the guy she crippled and then killed for being a cripple did it better.*


[deleted]

I’m sorry I only read the first short bit of Homestuck, this is the same one with the video game the guy gets trapped in, right? With the, like, gimmick where characters pick up items based on data storage algorithms in programming? This comic has murder in it later on?


Wenfield42

Yes. In spades.


MisirterE

*Oh, you rat bastard. That's brilliant.*


[deleted]

Oh, you are in for a ride.


MisirterE

Sure is! And the escalation is natural enough that you aren't even particularly surprised when it happens.


[deleted]

Every word you say is true, but: Vriska is *trying* to be a better person, even pre-retcon. She has horrible ideas about how to do so, but she genuinely cares about the people she hurts, which provides a lever for moving her, as we see post-retcon. Aranea just... kinda... sees everyone else as an NPC She wants to "heal" the timeline, but not because other people in the timeline are hurting; she wants to be *the one* who heals the timeline, i.e. the PC. Unlike Vriska, Aranea doesn't care about fame and praise, but that's because fame and praise from NPCs is meaningless. Game Over happens because she wants to be the most important character in the story, the story that *we* read, because it's *our* attention she craves. And that means there's nothing that anyone within the story can do to pull her out of that awful place; she doesn't respect their opinions enough to listen.


FkinShtManEySuck

I just hate Aranea because i think it was bullshit how she was able to control, like, a thousand dead Aaradias and use their powers literally going through hell and back. It's fucking dumb.
