I have put day to understand why doc scratch have writed that,and even now i'm not sure: it's because they created the green sun?

Phileas guerineau Doc Scratch made them believe they could stop Jack by destroying the source of his power, the green sun, with their tumor, and thus be freed of the web of devils they had gotten themselves into. Of course, the tumor wasn't meant to be the destroyer of the green sun, but its creator, and Doc Scratch was the one making sure the tumor would explode by setting into motion a series of events that would inevitably destroy two universes. He knew that if the universes would be destroyed and the tumor would explode, his master LE wouldn't just be summoned: he'd get the power from the green sun right from the moment he was summoned. They were mere puppets in the hands of an excellent host, who, after the outcome he had planned was inevitable, just wanted to show them that not only had he been playing with open cards all along, but that they had been those cards.

your converse highs holy crap a new reply was no expecting that

Well, Game Over is an alternate timeline.

I posted this before I knew that friend :)

Pretty much every single character that was alive knew that before it happened.

Nepeta - Actually, it was the alpha before John made the Lonely Jade timeline the new alpha through retcons

Nepeta - minepose98 It never was, nor will it ever be an "alternate" timeline. It is forever the Alpha timeline. Strictly speaking, there are now two Alpha timelines, rather than either of them becoming an offshoot.

It's more when you read to the point that you say "oh shit, this is actually kind of good"

That was Descend for me. I was like "WHAT! WHAT THE FUCK!"

basically the same for me

The hidden meaning of Descend is that you... uhm, descend your soul to Hussie's hell.

No, that's more like [S] Enter, [S] Jade: Enter, or [S] Jack: Ascend.

The power of the Green Sun is a Space related power up

Kiri no Kuragari It was pretty epic but Cascade definitely takes the cake. Game Over is there with Descend and Make Her Pay My favorite animations tend to kill a lot of people

gamingLegacies I was making a joke.

Dude your profile pic reminds me of that one time I was on Gmod doing a Homestuck mod and I joined a server for the mod and people were putting shreks in the sky box and normal world. It caused the game to crash and that kept happening on small worlds until the guy that was doing it was caught with 5 other guys and was banned from the server for a year. It was so funny I was laughing my ass off at the sight of the guys got kicked when they had a huge ass argument with the admins on the server. It was so damn funny.

It's amazing how much worse they became!

Comparing, say... Unite/Synchronize to Jack: Ascend shows that the flashes became a lot more complex, and far more efficient at showing details, to say nothing of how much more dynamic they became over time. Collide is a different beast than Cascade, but no less impressive imo. Looking back, Homestuck has very few on-screen "boss fights", there wasn't much in the way of precedent for Collide. I think that taking the route of conveying the battles symbolically, through the use of the "base sprites", actually allowed Hussie + co to inject the minute details we'd come to expect from the comic, into a flash. Momentary things, like Dirk using a Zilly Santa in the Jack fight. It also manages to go for the epic angle, during the opening segment, the closing segment, and the beginning of the Lord English segment. The first sets a sort of mythic tone: the culmination of this immense build, finally being allowed to come to a head. The use of Creata in particular, underlines what's at stake here: the creation myth itself. The end allows Hussie to have his horse and ride it, too. Sure, the bulk of the battles are conveyed through fast-paced, arcade-style, action, buuuut they're all concluded with dramatic, gorgeous, snapshots of the battles' later phases. Dave decapitating Dirk, PM winning the first Prospitian victory over Derse, )(IC being stabbed by Roxy, these are all gorgeous moments. Homestuck's all about this dualism between silly/fun content (the sprite fights), and emotionally-moving, impactful ones: the final sequence of images for each fight. This isn't to say Cascade is bad, I think it's quite good at setting up the midway climax of the multiclimactic narrative. This is very hard to do without the audience feeling like they've had something stolen from them (the end), so I commend Cascade for that. I just think Collide is sold short a lot of the time. (Also, GAME OVER, a pretty late flash? Goddamn incredible).

And yet my favourite of all is the weird puppet montage. How strange it is that things work out like that.

Gotta say, I kinda preferred the old style. It's not any less enjoyable with how the art changed, but there's something about the originals in like act 1-3/4 that was just very unique to me--and it kinda became less unique of a style as time progressed. It was more refined, and something akin to many other webcomics (it remains unique in many aspects still, however). I liked the silly, gritty-drawn style of the old ones better, though. :P

I'm not a big fan of Collide; I think it went way longer than it needed to for what was basically just a few fight scenes. Animations like Cascade, Jack: Rise Up, and Caliborn: Enter manage to compress events and information down into a small space. They're exciting because there's stuff in them that's surprising, that slots information you already knew together into the bigger picture. Collide already had all it's contents communicated to us beforehand, we don't learn anything new, everything went down exactly as it was expected to go. Just my opinion, of coarse.

Indeed it is

How to get anyone into homestuck. Show them this. They'll be confused as hell but they'll love it

Raveng Becker Except that other guy on that other comment. D:

I just got into Homestuck last night. I had given it a chance before and got bored at the guy basically just running around his house doing nothing. Then last night, I came across the Space Jam remix, Savior of the Slamming Jam. I found the original song, and I loved it. Then I was like, "Wait, what? That bad comic about a dude in his house has a soundtrack? I must be missing something here..." So then I found where the song came from: Cascade. I watched it. I had no idea what was going on, but I was blown away, especially by the "God Tier" girl with dog ears. Proceed to give Homestuck another try. Read it for seven hours straight. Go to work with five hours of sleep.

That's actually a good schedule for reading homestuck

+Amaroq64 I remember when I really started reading, it was right after I'd gotten back from a holiday, and I was jetlagged as hella and couldn't sleep. So I ended up reading until about 2 in the morning.
