Homestuck Positivity Thread

a happy place to gush about stuff you love about homestuck, or fun ideas you have for fics, good fics you read, good art, canon updates, etc

please take criticism elsewhere thank you!

 

act 7 made me cry tbh seeing my kids finally DO THE THING felt so fuckin good i was so proud of them

collide is my favorite flash! it’s intense and funny and heartwrenching all at once and i could watch it forever. i watch a lot of flashes for funsies but i always come back to collide, it’s just. my favorite. it’s so good.

 

THE MUSIC GOES HARD AS FUCK.
I could post an itemized list of things I love about Homestuck later but rn I have like 20+ dish towels to make
but I fucking LOVE the music and it has SUCH good fic and like...even the RP blog threads are generally interesting in the HS fandom? for me it's usually hard to get into that kinda thing but MAN there's such a talented fanbase

oh and I like that we've got more content coming
super hype to play hiveswap with my partner soon :D

 

THE MUSIC SLAPS FUCKING HARD even the unreleased shit!! fuck!!!

and i CANNOT stop thinking about how viz and wp are partnering for the epilogue, i am vibrating with confusion and excitement over THE POSSIBILITIES....

 

i love the ending so much tbh
i feel like its like, a metaphor for how stuff is easier with experience and support
a lot of sessions failed because of a lack of experience or support but there were so many sessions and all of them working towards this seemingly impossible victory and they used all their experience and skills to finally win and it was so good
it made me feel like victory was inevitable, and every failure was something they learned from and improved on (even if they didnt consciously know about most of the mistakes, there was enough overlap between sessions that experience was being passed down and learned from)
and it was so satisfying to see them do the thing. love these kids im so proud of them

 

the color palettes through the entire thing make me feel really frigging happy whenever i look at them, even the sugar rush trickster bits that hurt my eyes (neon colors are suffering but i love). double bonus bc colors linked to flavors and some feelings = 8DDDDDDDDD

 

Aranea is my favorite character that isn't a Maryam on days when she isn't my favorite overall and also she has a cute dress. Lookit my adorable ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE PERSON BY ANY STANDARD. She's a bundle of nerves and self-esteem issues who ended up an absolute bitch.

Really there's a lot of lovable characters that are horrible, horrible people in some fashion.

Also yeah the ending and the retcon were amazing and fit with the overarching themes of the comic very well.

 

CHAINSAW LIPSTICK
PRETTY COLORS
WEIRD BLOOD
BISEXUALS
that is all

 

i fucking love how gamzee was written and how his character developed and i love him hes great and horrible. gamzee is a perfect example of great character, bad person writing aa

 

Don’t forget Vriska! She’s an absolute bitch but she’s so complex and tries so hard to be a good person, even if it’s by... fixing things she broke in the first place... and she’s so true to herself and stylish and fights with dice and is an egomaniac. I love her so much.

 

God yes the music! And the COLOURS, the COLOURS! I am Gamzee when it comes to shiny coloured things.

I am ridiculously beyond envious of Hussie's ability to write sharp dialogue. I can't get enough snark and Dave especially provides in spades.

 

While I love the rest of the story, I really really love the first act. I know it's slow or boring or mystifying for a lot of people but it just hit so many notes that I love, like the game mechanics and how it felt like an adventure game. Sometimes I wish I could forget all about it so I could experience the first bit for the first time again. (although that Saro would be very confused about all the gray people in her art folder.....)

 

the MUSIC......... it's so good it's SO good,
i love kanaya, i love her and her chainsaw, and i love rose lalonde, and i love that their ending was getting happily married on the world they helped bring to life. :')

 

I'm totally digging the magic system and I still want to find my Quest Bed more than I want my Hogwarts letter.

 

Dave's rambling on and on and on when a meteor is about to hit is about my favourite dialogue ever. I love Sidetracked By The Analogy.

 

ARADIA. FUCKING. MEGIDO.

Aradia is one of my favorite characters from ANYTHING, EVER. I kinda view her character arc as working very well as a depression/recovery metaphor? And she’s so funny and cute and creepy as hell, and just. Aradia, 0kay? 0u0

 

Equius and Nepeta roleplaying as each other and briefly arguing about it, reblog it you agree.

Beta kids, reblog if you agree.

 

ART! GOOD!!! COLOR PALETTES AND SWEET CRISP PIXELS AND BENDY LIMBS AAAAAAAAAAA

 

Gamzee makes for a pretty fascinating antagonist viewed through a lens of "You want me to be the bad guy? Fine, I'm the bad guy". Hemospectrum bullshit and violence hammered into him via Alternian society, influence from various sources of mind control, the theory I've been discussing about the fridge...
