7 Years of Homestuck in 11 Minutes

[@IllusioneTempus]

That moment when you realize that Act 6 is half the total length of Homestuck.

[@witchBoi_Connor]

IllusioneTempus act six was divided into sub acts, as Act six was the second half of homestuck. Being the Scratch, ya know? It was sort of a completely new act one through whatever.

[@IllusioneTempus]

Y'know this comment is a year old now I could care less about it Also it's mostly to poke fun on Act 6 since it's like one of the most tedious rides of Homestuck that lasted 5 years

[@tinfoilgaming6881]

IllusioneTempus also that Act 6's 6th interlude has 6 INTERLUDES.

[@noemiej.marquis732]

And that the 6th act of act 6 has, also, 6 acts. Making act 6 almost 12 acts long.

[@alteredbeast4761]

Acts 1-5 took place on April 13th, 2009, but if each year Homestuck existed the characters aged, then yeah. They would be 20 years old. In Act 5 Act 2, One of the panels says "Happy April 13th, 2009, everyone!!!!!"

[@therealquade]

Also this just made me understand the ending. John got the power to edit canon and at the end the characters left homestuck, but vriska trapped lord english in homestuck and sealed him there. Hussie is not just lord english, he is caliborn, lets face it, in universe they both suck at art think they're better than they are, flounder around aimlessly, and created a trashheap of a comic, and now that the characters(fandom) can move on from homestuck, lord english(hussie) is forever trapped with it and is unable to escape. Lord english represents hussie's fear that he will never escape from the looming shadow of homestuck that hangs over him. that he will never best it.

[@tabificrevendicate8434]

+therealquade well, they trapped him in sburb/they trapped his presence in a instance, so he cannot time travel no more

[@therealquade]

Teh Randoms no no no. They trapped him in cannon. as in within "homestuck". Go back to the early parts of homestuck, act 1, the word "HOMESTUCK" is floating in the sky as a physical object. John's session, Karkat's session, Jane's session, Kankri's session, The dream bubbles, and the horrorterrors, are all a part of the homestuck universe. You have to remember, Caliborn wrote Homosuck, which is basically a fucked up act 1, and he had the capacity to interfere with homestuck cannon, because he was outside of it. That's why the act progression was messed up because parts of the narrative are outside of cannon, just like hussie, and doc scratch, they are outside of the homestuck cannon. Then john went outside of it, which is how he was able to jump around at will. This is effectively what caliborn, hussie, and doc scratch had, except they're an idiot an author and impartial respectively, meaning none of them can use it practically to accomplish a task. John on the other hand can. This is how they "won" in the end. They stripped caliborn of this power, trapping him within the narative itself. Everybody else is free to leave. I mean, we have to remember after english is killed, the horrorterrors are just going to eat all the dreambubbles and everyone still dies just as horribly. This resolves that quite nicely too, because the horrorterrors are contained within the narrative of homestuck as well.

But acts 2, 3 and 4 were really what got me to really like it. Act 5 had to grow on me, since at the beginning I really couldn't care less about the trolls (since the human story was "cut" at a very important moment), so it took me a while. Almost the same thing happened for the humans in act 6.

And it's a pretty good series, it just loses its way story-wise several times as it goes along, really not unlike homestuck itself lol, though HS is so wildly self-aware it hardly feels like it matters.

[@BPac21]

+Mathemagics the songs in strife were very specifically meant to evoke pop culture that tensei figured their respective kids would be into. heir conditioning is in the style of a touhou song and quotes tomboyish girl in love, dance of thorns has things like castlevania and fire emblem, time on my side has metallica and is in the style of music from spy films, and atomic bonsai references two specific naruto songs at various points.

[@koopakape]

Lambda Bledsoe Oh yeah? man, I REALLY do not see any of those fitting the characters at all except maybe Rose being into Castlevania and Fire Emblem, and Dave DRESSING like Bond at times though it's very hard to see him actually being into that kinda stuff (who knows though?) but we got such good music out of it I hardly care.

10:29 hiveswap is undertale confirmed

[@RoxSerpent]

I think Hussie said he was making an epilogue. So.

[@marcom5575]

+MLPGoji2003 So far it's only speculation. I'm gonna take a wild guess and say he'll update Homestuck with an epilogue on 4/13/2017, one year after it's end. Or maybe seven years after it, who knows?

[@TeachAManToPhish]

+Jade K Hussie himself said that there will be an epilogue

[@marcom5575]

TeachAManToPhish Really? HELL YES thank you for telling me

[@JazzyWaffles]

+TeachAManToPhish He actually said he'd make something "resembling an epilogue."

[@LovelyMoonMelon]

thank god that ending was so anticlimactic

[@BWOSandman]

I had a friend who a couple years ago went around asking some cosplayers "Can you explain Homestuck in ten words or less?". Now that I have actually read the whole thing, I now realize he was totally screwing with them.

[@what7368]

"Amazing bulls^%&"

Shenanigans

[@doribunbun]

A Boy And His Friends Play A Game Together. That's 9 words >:]

[@katrinasis]

Yeah put Cobalt Thief at the end it's not like I need my heart.

[@bryleec2w]

man i only started homestuck in october of 2020 but this is hella nostalgic. this stupid comic will always mean alot to me, ive met so many amazing people thru it!!!

[@themightymonarch2109]

So this is what they meant to have your life flash before your eyes. Well, sorta.

[@atjallen]

Really well done! The choice of music and the quality of the video is incredible.

[@godswillotonye6519]

Remeber this all started because a kid bought a game.

[@natalieh.1802]

This video kind of made the fact that Homestuck is over (besides the awaited epilogue) and I honestly don't know whether to be happy in remembering everything or cry because of how much everyone has grown. Also excellent choice in music, and thank you for doing this.

[@karlr42]

2:46 look, you can pinpoint the exact moment it was ruined.

[@ammytersau]

+karlr42 0:00

[@6Zarlem9]

+karlr42 Are you saying Homestuck was ruined when the trolls were introduced?

[@FaliusAren]

+karlr42 I suppose it makes sense to assume the trolls' introduction paved the road to the barrage of irrelevant dialogue Homestuck become later on.

[@Missingnokillred]

+karlr42 holy shit i did not expect to laugh like this

[@DantonTheWerewolf]

+karlr42 I disagree. Act 5 really expanded everything. Act 6, on the other hand... Let's all forget it happened, shall we?

[@Dapperkatt]

I always make sure that even if I don't do anything else on 4/13, I watch this to remember what an amazing time I had with this comic. I started reading it in the fall of 2015 and was caught up just in time to experience the finale as it finished four years ago. It was and still is a huge part of my life despite its ups and downs and thank you for this vid that helps me remember almost all of it in a semi overwhelming way lol.

[@Cryazon]

THESE ARENT TEARS

[@anz14]

This is so badass, great music choice too! I've been a part of this fandom and this trashy comic (in a good way) for these 7 years and I'm very happy for everything. Experiencing it again with this 11 minute video was amazing, I'm grateful!

[@itwuzavalibles256]

I wish I had 200 IQ so I could understand all of this and NEVER actually read homestuck

[@bsantini3616]

Me too

[@bsantini3616]

+Equis' Era true but it's fun to pretend

[@epik465]

200iq wouldn't even help you understand, only reading it does

[@pr0v0cative4pple]

This is actually a really convenient way to refresh my memory of the whole plotline.

[@technoeevee6969]

You have a feeling it's going to be a long webcomic.

[@magicalspacecat1758]

I'm not crying you are! I haven't even finished Homestuck yet, and I got all da feels

[@what7368]

Why would you watch this if you haven't finished Homestuck?

[@magicalspacecat1758]

I've finished Homestuck for a long time now, it's just at the time I was only on act 6 act 5 or something

[@what7368]

+Awesome Tree {gaming} ok

[@wendigo2536]

Let's see how far we've come...

[@DaveInSnitchel]

Undertale lore: you are determined soul now either kill these monsters or love them Homestuck lore:

[@angelrein8700]

I was watching it and I thought nepeta's death had just passed. nOPE. I SAW GAMZEE PUTTING THE THREE SCRATCHES ON HIS FACE. I STARTED SCREAMING.

[@nicanyounot]

This video was a trip man. It's 5 years of my life (that's when I started watching let's read). I can point out exactly when I switched from waiting for new videos to just reading. To everyone in the fandom and our lord Hussie himself, thanks and let's keep the hype going.

[@turtlelord9939]

...I need a hug.

[@nightowl34571]

We all do.

[@LeviAckerman-ir8tq]

yeah, we all do...

[@kh2war]

can I join you all in the "we need a hug crew"?

[@nightowl34571]

+KHwar Everyone is welcome.

[@pikapixie3231]

This is so wild to look back on. So much happened that it's hard to realize exactly HOW MUCH happened, and it's such a crazy adventure. So much nostalgia for this series, and excellent music choice. (I can't imagine what people who have no clue about homestuck think of this.)

[@rayboyhongo2343]

dont blink challenge

[@capriciouslytumultuous4259]

Very nice speed run of Sburb. Can't wait to see the next one.
