my hot take about homestuck is that describing the plot is incredibly easy (several others have done this, so i won’t on this post), it’s the STRUCTURE of homestuck that’s impossible to explain simply
and THATS why homestuck references are the most batshit confusing things ever. because they aren’t about the fairly simple plot, theyre about the weird amalgamation of computer coding, chess, billards, zodiacs, fucking LUCKY CHARMS, etc that make up the building blocks of the background elements that barely have anything to do with the core plot
it’s one thing to say homestuck is about 4 friends that play a game at the end of the world to try and design a new world, it’s another to explain why betty crocker is a pisces alien fish dictator that takes the place of the black queen in the third intergalactic chess game of the series
THAT YOU ARE
DAMN INTELLIGENT
VALUABLE AS HELL AND NOT THE LEAST BIT WORTHLESS
SUPER FUCKING LOVED
EXTREMELY GOD DAMN INTERESTING
NOT TO MENTION A HOT PIECE OF ASS
AND THAT ANYONE WHO TELLS YOU OTHERWISE IS A PIECE OF SHIT. KEEP BEING AWESOME, DON’T LET THE DOUCHE BAGS GET YOU DOWN, AND REMEMBER THAT I MOTHERFUCKING LOVE YOU.
Fellas, if your game has:
A Simple Style
An Emphasis on Building
Esoteric Crafting Recipes
A Leveling/Enchanting System
Traveling Through Different Dimensions
A Meta Narrative
And Frog Breeding
Then that's not your game, that's Homestuck
If the epilogue’s prologue somehow wasn’t enough to satisfy your ravenous Homestuck hunger, then I’m proud to announce that Minestuck has gotten an update, adding…
* Sounds for all current underlings and the four consorts.
* Aspect Effects: After reaching a certain rung (which varies between aspects) on your echeladder, you will gain a constant potion effect which will change depending on your aspect. For example, Life players will get regeneration and Blood players will get absorption.
* 3 new hammers. Two of them currently aren’t obtainable in survival mode, but will be given a recipe as soon as the planned ingredients are implemented.
* A new cake.
* The Hashmap modus now allows custom names as input.
* You can now captchalogue items from within a GUI, including your inventory.
me, two months ago: man it’s a shame I didn’t get into homestuck when it was still updating, I feel like I missed out on a true homestuck experience
me now, about two seconds from going feral while waiting for an upd8:
Google-ing something truly is a skill. Some people are much better and faster at finding more accurate results than others.
It’s here! This update contains a staggering 144 classpect abilities, one for each classpect, and more than a dozen aspect exclusive abilities. Furthermore, dungeons have been improved, and can actually contain loot in the form of aspect loot chests.
We’ve also added a ton of new cosmetics and items. Some are only accessible through alchemy, so get alchemizing!
And as of late, we’ve also been running a Twitter account! We post some extras and some of the stuff that we’re currently working on! Follow us on @tgp_team!
