crocker (fucked up yesterday piece under the cut) (cant see shit edition)

If there's one thing i don't like about this fandom it's how much they make the kids more meaner? Villainizing? Than they actually are. Don't get me wrong, they have done a lot of bad but like these characters are FRIENDS. They do genuinely care about eachother in the end they aren't cold hearted and revel in other's suffering, they aren't Caliborn or Vriska afterall. I think they read the comic wrong, the kids were willing to sacrifice their own lives for eachother, a prime example of this was Daves conversation with doomed Rose. I blame the spaceship meteor part of the story for ruining the characters. Like everyone acted so ooc? Why were Jade and Davesprite giving John such a hard time about his dad die dying? Both of them literally had to watch their guardians die in front of them, you'd think they'd be the most sympathetic here? Or how Dave and Karkat, characters who will go through lengths to protect their friends just fucking stand there as everyone else tears themselves or eachother apart? Karkat is an ass yes but this was the same guy who was crying his heart out when he saw Solluxs dead body when in game or how he told Aradia bot that he would've tried to get her back to life if it weren't for other circumstances. Why was everyone being so uncaring at this part? It didn't feel right. The alpha kids got it the WORST, from bad writing to fandom treatment. I remember back in the day seeing stuff where Dirk was just down right mean to Jane "hahaha sucks to be you Jake is mine fat bitch". There was even a little bit of this aggressiveness in House of Dirk, now i do find that story fun but the small part where he calls Jane "xenophobic", bothered me. Like he would NOT say that to her. Have you seen how he speaks to her? "If you ever need help, Jane. If you're ever in any trouble at all. Let me know. Just say the word." Same guy who built a robot to protect her life and pretty much wrote an entire book for her, i think Dirk cares about Jane guys. This fandom and comic is so mean to Jane, as funny as i thought it was that Caliborn called her a fat fucking pig and cow, she really just became a punching box at that point. They'll shit on her because she's a woman getting in the way of the gay men. The ONLY thing people get from her as a character is that she's fat, because Caliborn said so along with a bunch of other things. Jake, poor Jake, gets sexualized by everyone he knows and had to burn his Grandmothers body right in front of him. But according to fans HE'S the asshole here because he cant communicate properly. Gee i wonder why. Roxy gets put on a fucking pedestal by the comic and fans, super extra special treatment. Ignore how she sexually harasses Dirk or almost killed Jane, no she's incapable of doing wrong, isn't that right Calliope? Yes, Roxy should be the new leader AND kill the Condescension yes. Now i never finished reading the epilogues because why would i? I'm probably missing a lot if we're taking them into consideration but not taking it into consideration because my point still stands because thats how the fandom treated them even before those came out. And even when talking about the base comic i still see those attitudes.

These characters DO have their personal problems but when people talk about they insert angst where it doesn't exist for favor of projection and i hate how common its become.

If people claim it is just cynicism that comes with growing up, there's clearly a difference between being cynicism, nihilism, and being a straight up asshole. If people say it is Dave and Karkat's depression is the reason why they stand around doing nothing as Rose becomes alcoholic and Terezi gets abused by Gamzee, it's sure strange they got over their depression right as VRISKA comes in to solve everything and those two bastards act like nothing had happened. Everything by Act 6 and Post Retcon just made all the characters worse. They have become an empty shell of who they used to be. The bleak outlook has become a theme for current Homestuck. It's been like this for Epilogues and Homestuck^2 too. I don't know if James Roach and HICU can really save the franchise and get out of all the characters having this negative light. Andrew Hussie and WhatPumpkin has shoved this jaded feeling right in the audience's faces that it's become the norm to expect the worse. Readers expect characters being assholes and more depression, they will receive it because Hussie and WhatPumpkin made it so.

me and @meowsszzzz made a silly little fanmade act with a loading screen we made yeah!!!!!! basically the act is kinda similar to ship shape but you arent timed to get each item or anything and you get a hat similar to the brewing hat but with a brewing badge and the badge lets you make the blue potions that are used in the fight with snatcher, basically this is just snatcher having hatkid help him make the potions used in his fight haha but you gotta make sure you keep mixing the cauldron so it doesnt explode oh yeah this is also the act before the fight

(MEOWSS DREW HATKID, I DREW SNATCHER)

i know this will never really be a thing unless i suddenly learn how to make ahit mods really well but yeah :333

Act 6 is so weird Sakou is credited as Chief AD but it only seems like she did one correction (unless theres some very minor edits and they can be super minor as a simple line correction), many look like Komatsu's style on her better days, not to mention Komatsu replaces her as Chief AD from Act 7 and onward...

Like none of the art featurd in Act 6 looks like any of the ways Sakou draws throughout the series as well as outside of it, besides like one shot.

Im talking the web version btw. Maybe it's a credit for when she does her blu ray edits

Homestuck Act 6

After finishing Act 5 of Homestuck, I began reading Act 6. I was introduced to the alpha kids named Jane Crocker, Jake English, Dirk Strider, and Roxy Lalonde. Nice.

Act VI

I can't watch your mind race. It makes me feel your anxiety too.

You let all the thoughts that rush in your head to takeover your mind.

Nothing ever gets done the way you say it will, So I don't listen to what you say at all, anymore.

Most of it is filled with lies and the other half is filled with those anxious thoughts that keep you from the peace of just living.

I can't let you on my ocean anymore, You are drying up the waters and bringing unnecessary waves to my shores.

I see that the finale for you has arrived.

IM FUCKING CRYING THIS IS SO FUNNY

I haven't felt anything for days im having act 6 discourse with 13 yr olds on discord just to try and muster up some rage or dissapointment or something anything at all

as much as i love sam knowing about destiel before dean does, there's something about "i mean yeah my brother and his angel best friend are really weird about each other, live together, co-parent a kid, nearly kill themselves every time the other is gone, stand too close and stare at the other's mouth while they talk, but i mean to each their own i guess??" that's so special to me

Is there an index of all appearances of the Ring/Rings in Act 6?

Doing a sort of rewrite thing, and wondering if there's some way to track the Ring(s) besides "go to when Droog puts his on and just reread Act 6 until Calliope gets hers, skipping irrelevant-seeming sections". I know this has been done with *characters* (I have a mod for the Collection equipped for that) but I'm not sure about an item.

You ever realize how abnormally Buckley-like the word count is during Act 6? The first paragraph of page 4117 of Homestuck has A) no paragraph spacings, making it more of a wall of text and B) a huge sign that Andrew lost his simple narration brevity in an MS Paint adventure.

It's the soul of wit, for god's sake!
