i think what a lot of ppl miss about the nuance when it comes to the retcon is that the POINT of it is that its a bad ending. homestuck is designed to be a tragedy and it was never going to end well; its frankly ridiculous to try and shoehorn in a scenario where none of the current main characters are dead when the story is ABOUT death. its not narratively satisfying at all like this! but thats not what the kids wanted (and, more to the point, thats not what the FANS wanted. newer fans DEFINITELY miss the fact that homestuck was written as a conversation between hussie and the fans, a conversation that turned into an argument halfway through and led to a lot of things being taken in bad faith on both sides. but i digress; this is a watsonian post)

the retcon powers are very VERY explicitly described as the ability to change the alpha timeline. the 'whats supposed to happen' of it all, the premeditated narrative the story was written to fill. conversely, when aranea used the ring of life to come back and meddle, she is explicitly described as 'causing a doomed timeline.' and like, the thing about doomed timelines is that theyre meant to happen as much as theyre meant to be fixed. theyre how paradox space accounts for and incorporates time travel, and the existence of the doomed timeline is often NECESSARY for the alpha timeline to function. thats how you get davesprite, thats how the aradiabot that brought gamzee's honkHONK code back from his crazy murder timeline contributed to doc scratch's creation, thats why every dead dave helped the alpha timeline dave figure out what to do. if vriska was meant to have never died in the first place the timeline wouldve been doomed long before game over. the ring went to the wrong person, and thats the kind of simple fix sburb was expecting to solve with some time travel to get things back on track

the ring was supposed to go to someone else. probably vriska! from the alpha timelines perspective, it wasnt that long after her confrontation with john that she really changed and grew as a character. that she became someone who deserved a second chance. imagine: john uses his retcon as normal time travel, the way sburb comprehended it through the limitations of its code. he takes the ring before aranea can, goes to the dream bubbles, and has another conversation with vriska. maybe she doesnt even really want the ring anymore, and thats exactly the kind of thing that would convince john to give it to her. and she agrees, because he tells her terezi is waiting for her. they go back, they have the final fight, and people die. maybe they dont come back. but its the group of characters who earned the ending, who we watched grow up for three years

but thats not what happened, and it was never going to be what happened, because as narratively satisfying as it could have been? john and terezi wanted something different. john wanted everything to be OVER and terezi wanted the chance to make a different choice, even if it was wrong. theyre selfish; theyre kids. theyre tired of being characters in a story, of someone else pulling their strings. thats what typheus's choice was about, you know? and john made the wrong choice. some other version of john could have fixed things the "right" way, had our john decided to die instead. to accept the consequences of the doomed timeline and let pardox space fix it. hell, between roxys first instinct to just sit and let the void take her and terezis pointy horns offering a counterpoint we have some pretty blatant devil/angel on the shoulder imagery! and john making the same wrong choice he did when terezi first told him to fly to the seventh gate, except this time there was no davesprite on angel wings, no one left alive he cared about enough to listen to. because as much as john felt like he was SUPPOSED to fall for roxy, the girl version of his fathers lover, someone strongly associated with his half of karkat's shipping chart but without the complication of being a lesbian, someone HUMAN to repopulate the world with cut out of his apocalypse movie fantasies...... terezis way of thinking has always appealed to him more. because as much as he pretends its not true, john doesnt like to take things lying down, and he doesnt like when other people do either. he gets bored! hes attracted to the danger and morally grey self confidence terezi and vriska exude, so. he listened to terezi, and they brought vriska back.... without any of the character development she had gone through.

and its a bad ending, because of course it would be. and thats the point :) it was stupid to think two kids could meddle with the fate of the universe and it was stupid to think that these kids could have a happy ending so easily. but can you really blame them?

[thewertsearch]

Oh, fuck.

Jack, just - just wait there. Postpone your invasion of LOWAS for however many minutes are displayed on Jade's Cruxtruder. Please?

Jack has tracked down the one warrior who could challenge him. Does he have a new plan this time?

Huh. I didn't peg Jack as the 'honorable warrior' type - although, come to think of it, this isn't the first time he's shown respect to his enemies.

I guess he was prototyped with a sword. Maybe it symbolizes chivalry, or fair combat, compelling Jack to seek out a duel.

If there's one thing that this demonstrates, it's that Becquerel couldn't end up in the kernel by accident - his reactions are much too fast. If he gets prototyped, it's because he wants to be prototyped.

GG: hmmmm i wonder what the significance of that number is

It's 413 + 612. It probably represents the kids and trolls 'coming together', and working as a team.

EB: hey, what do you think we should prototype this fussy little orb with? [...] GG: there are so many possibilities [...] EB: it's almost like your grandpa put all this crap here knowing we'd have to make that decision. [...] GG: yes, it sure seems that way

It sure does.

I think the dolls, at least, are a red herring. We've done that twice before, and a Mummysprite just doesn't seem that interesting, especially compared to all the other options.

I think the realistic choices here are Grandpa, Bec, Dream Jade and Typheus. I'd give a slight edge to Grandpa, because he's in the room with the Cruxtruder - but a lot can happen in ten minutes.

EB: he seems like he was an awesome guy, i would have liked to have the chance to talk to him. [...] GG: maybe you will get that chance john [...] GG: yes, as a matter of fact i am sure we will both get that chance! GG: i once dreamt that we would [...] EB: wait, are you saying we will prototype him? EB: like i did with nanna, to bring her ghost back to life? [...] GG: sure, why not!

Hmm.

See, reading between the lines here, it doesn't sound like Jade ever saw a Grandpasprite in Prospit's clouds. She saw herself and John talking to Grandpa - but if she saw him as a green ghost, she'd be a lot more conclusive about that being the correct option.

Instead, she says why not. It sounds right to her, but she's not sure. I think the fact that they're planning to prototype Grandpa is intentionally misleading.

EB: we shouldn't put your grandpa in yet, unless we want lots of imps and ogres and stuff that look like your grandpa. GG: augh, nooooooooooooooo

They could just prototype nothing at all before entering. The game is already unwinnable, so they don't have anything to lose by cutting themselves off from 'ultimate success'. Plus, it'll stop Jack from getting any stronger.

EB: we could put in something really lame, to make all the monsters weaker!

Damn it, and John has a frog in his sylladex! That would have been a fantastic prototyping, if he could get it to her.

Does Jade have enough time to fetch a frog from the lilypad ruins? Probably not - I guess this will remain a missed opportunity. The kids would never think of it, either, because the comic has so far refused to elaborate on Frog Lore.

[homestuckredo]

I ask, and Hussie provides in yet more high speed posting. I can't imagine this is sustainable tho. bro is gonna burn out. Now before we get into turntechGodhead, we got John's custom built desktop background and a BUNCH of stuff on it.

beautiful.

First we have three, what look like programing files, which tracks because he is a noob programmer. .~ATH means nothing to me but I think .^CAKE is a pun. ^ is called a Caret, so its a Caret (Carrot) Cake. Thank you Mameshiba commercials.

System is self explanatory.

Typheus tho... like a misspelled typhus?? The infectious disease?? maybe a virus program?? Idk, already John doesn't seem the type...also why is it a worm???? So many questions.... Finally we have Pesterchum, which violently reminds me of MSN Chat. BUT WE HAVE NAMES!!!!

Looks like John is ectoBiologist (Ghostbuster background makes sense lol), and then we have tentacleTherapist (o.0 oh my) and gardenGnostic who are offline. Maybe filler names, maybe setting up a four-man team dynamic. Finally we have turntechGodhead and a 'Pesterlog'.

honestly the whole Little Monster movie is TRASH GOLD. but this is the scene they are mentioning. I personally don't think monster Howie Mandel has the power to reseal a bottle.... bro can't even reseal a sandwich properly... but who am I to argue with teenagers lol. It looks like the comic is gonna center a game then? a game our Turntech doesn't even want to play??? I can't tell if he's being serious or he's just has eighth-grader syndrome and wants to be cool. Hopefully we''ll find out!!

Marching along.

1.Tickled by Calliope laughing about Typheus-as-dick-joke, wondering whether Jade’s account of this moment should be overlaid with her encounter with the Typheus minion in her home. Like, mini-Typheus is used for a dick joke later (x) but at that particular moment, his main properties are 1) greeting Jade upon the completion of her descent and 2) blocking the portal to the top floor. Then Karkat manifests, calling Jade a stupid fuckup... which I guess has a sequel in Jade’s “you suddenly understand jack shit”, narrated after she awakens following her dream-death in Descend? And like the descent from her tower, Karkat soon manifests to throw those words back at her... bluh. Even though we’ve covered Jade’s dread of not-knowing in several contexts (x)(x), I still don’t know what to make of this.

2. Slightly put off by the description of Roxy as a ‘teenage babe’. Child-self motifs and what not. And the whole transition from John silent walk across LOWAS to the manically sped-up Elevatorstuck (while Roxy imitates the Gamzee blood-salesman pose while saying nothing but ‘sup’) is viscerally jarring, giving off a sense that Roxy doesn’t belong here, like her insertion is represents (or else simply results in?) some sort of sugar high. Don’t know what to make of this either.

3. I’m with Vriska in wondering who on earth (or elsewhere) that memory of the dark carnival belonged to. Roxy’s frequent references to John’s visual and verbal resemblance to Jake (even straight up calling him Jake under her breath) have me on the Mom-Grandpa track again: Roxy’s offhand reference to being repeatedly ‘owned’ by John and family seems loaded in that context... that scene directly precedes the MeenVris carnival journey, and in addition to the cut and Roxy’s existing connection to Meenah, we get stuff like this to remind us the scenes are connected:

The last time we were on this topic (x) an anon proposed that Meenah is playing the role of Grandpa within Roxy’s alt-memories, with their relationship offering a look at the dynamics of grooming that were likely experienced by Mom. That sort of made sense to me. But weirdly, the above suggests that John (and therefore Jake) is actually in the role of Vriska? Likewise, the Vriska (Vriska) alt-naming convention is preceded by John (John) when he talks with alt-selves... but that makes Grandpa look like the victim, if John/Jake is superimposed over Vriska? This is either another victim/victimizer reversal (x), or something weird is afoot.

4. Terezi giving John a list of instructions (inscribed with her personal ink) for the production of a new reality (which is literally the production of a body) feels like it could feed back into some kind of genetic code metaphor... altering the timeline’s genes, maybe. But is there a literal body to which the timeline is being assigned? The Epilogues kind of gesture at being within the body of Lord English (a total of 88 chapters, like 8 ball eyes), but is the same true of the rest of Homestuck...? In which case rewriting the timeline is kind of like. Changing Caliborn’s DNA, maybe? Or something... (I’m also tempted to read ‘injecting genetic code’ as a sex joke, but for once that might not be appropriate!)

The bit from Detective Pony about Pawnee being confused by simultaneously being a place and a person feels relevant here. There were some visuals suggesting that Jade represents the earth (x), bolstering the lightning-strikes-earth / “earth is under assault by planet jupiter” imagery that haunts her elsewhere. And that sort of this is present in Armageddon, where Liv Tyler represents the earth (and Bruce Willis gives her hand and the rights to an earth-drilling oil rig at the same time). These aren’t directly relevant, but they remind me to be more attentive to world-as-body imagery.

Boots Reads Homestuck Epilogue(s) Part 2 - Pre-next-chapter-drop asks

Alright, going over some asks under the readmore before I read whatever’s about to drop Epilogue-ways.

Anonymous said: have a deliciously meta thing that like most people have already realized but that's worth pointing out to everyone anyway--it's AO3-style right now because we're, in Rose's words, outside canon, but once John heads back into canon? we'll probably get panels again

Hm? Maybe, but...  there’s something about this format that seems like it could be a whole lot more descriptive when it comes to our leftover doubts and loopholes.

That, or I already heard that “over 100k words” business from my friend and my expectations are biased.

Anonymous said: I notice you didn't comment on the John/Roxy/Calliope mess.

Yeah, things seem just as open as before.  John isn’t a part of it and doesn’t know where any of it stands, but it’s intentionally left malleable, too.  Seems like Andrew to leave things so that we can imagine a whole bunch of endgame pairings easily possible from here, however it turns out.  And complex social arrangements that make the word “pairings” seem restrictive, too!

Anonymous said: So... John is probably going to punch ARANEA, right? This would be the perfect way for Hussie to please all the people who hated the retcon: give us a candy ending where John stays and a meat ending where he goes back and stops Game Over, then goes to fight the final boss with that group.

That sounds more plausible than other suggestions I’ve heard for a girl to punch!  It’s not going to be Vriska again, from the phrasing, and Aranea’s thus a prime target.

Anonymous said: 'not gonna start theorizing' yeah right man. It's gonna be 2 epilogues, diverging from this point on, and the two choices of meal symbolise the two types of story we'll get: one will fill our hunger for plot and closing threads, but is invariably going to fuck us up emotionally (hard to chew, harder to swallow), and one will be a lighthearted character-focused romp in the style of the snapchat updates. Hussie has referred to this dichotomy in his book commentaries under '[S] Jack: Ascend'

Diverging epilogues that cover both and legitimize both are quite possible, like the “mind split” I mentioned earlier except we’d be tracking both branches.  Some of you probably already know the answer, because the new epilogue part already dropped as I was writing this paragraph, I just haven’t read it yet. :p

Anonymous said: Hello! A lot of people think the reason Rose was so cagey when John talked about coming back and talking to her think that means she is going to die. Honestly, either, or, or both present a clean narrative parallel to the Terezi list. With that situation, John not only left the doomed timeline and never returned, but the messenger died after giving him the note. Adding on with Rose being sick and the implications that her powers are causing problems for her physically...

JESUS CHRIST FUCK YOU FOR THAT BEING PLAUSIBLE, ROSE DYING BEFORE JOHN GETS BACK

BECAUSE IT IS

AAAAA no calm the fuck down boots JOHN is going to die in an alternate timeline or something it’s FINE.  Andrew ain’t angsty enough to just have Rose die offscreen at a young age in the alpha timeline due to weird Seer illness bullshit for no reason.  (There’s not going to be some conflict that kills her so soon or..? D: )  And there’s Heroic/Just to consider too, so.

Anonymous said: Someone pointed out that if John's showdown with Typheus is any indication, both meat and candy are the wrong answers and he should either combine both to make candied bacon, or warp somewhere else and eat some vegetables.

Eh; while a third choice is a known theme here with him, I think the split itself is more of a fit for this (or both branching paths followed) than anything, unless the “third path” he takes is somehow going off to address the giant black hole instead.  (Which reminds me, it’s possible in the Meat of this epilogue that John pulls someone out of said black hole.)

Anonymous said: have you read all the skaianet systems files? thoughts?

The who??

mudklp said: Rose mentioned “holes in canon” that need to be plugged. How many plot threads do you think will be sewn up?

Less than there are but more than we hope?  I dunno.

Okay lemme start reading this.  Posting this and moving on to the next post....

I know I stopped doing propaganda requests, but please do send in any you have, even if the track's poll has already been posted. Something as simple as "I love this song!" can count, you don't have to do a proper explanation, though I love it when people do talk about what parts of tracks they love!

There's 110 polls in Round 1; most of the more popular Homestuck tracks have been given byes onto Round 2, since it's an uneven bracket. Here's the list of the matches this round. You can search #[track name] for any track here to find it's information post, and any polls it's in.

Welcome to the Homestuck Music Tournament

Hello, I'm @airprime7, and I run the @undertale-ost-tournament, which is currently drawing to a close. The Undertale OST has 101 tracks, and the tournament was a massive undertaking. Which is why I made the incredibly clever choice of starting a tournament with over 600 tracks! And also make a post for every single track beforehand to categorise them! I'm normal.

At the time of writing, I'm in the middle of making posts for coloUrs and mayhem: Universe B, meaning I still have several hundred more posts to queue up. This post should come out right after the post for Black, marking the end of the first 4 volumes of Homestuck music (and also Midnight Crew: Drawing Dead). 4 posts are being put out every day, which means currently the queue stretches to October; when the Undertale tournament ends, this rate may increase. (October has since come and gone, and I finished the queue, which basically reaches Christmas. I'll keep the post-rate the same once the UTOSTT ends, which should be this month.)

The tournament will be a single-stage knockout bracket, with minor seeding. I'll basically split tracks into a few categories of how well-known and popular I think they might be. For example, tens of thousands of people know Sburban Jungle and Descend, but I don't think more than 100 fans can tell 04 from 05, or are diehard Blue Noir fans. Tracks that were actually in Homestuck will obviously mostly be more well known.

Currently, this account is just for posting every single Homestuck music track, complete with helpful information. That also means you can use tags to search for your favourite tracks, or similar tracks, etc. Every song is tagged. Take Aggrieve, Rose's fight music. It's tagged #Aggrieve, as well as with #Homestuck Vol. 1, the album it comes from. If you want to see more work by the same composer, it's tagged with #Mark J. Hadley (yes, it's true, people other than Toby Fox did the music for Homestuck), and tracks with the #Aggrieve leitmotif are those with the signature Rose Lalonde theme you may not have even noticed in your favourite tracks. Of course, #Rose Lalonde also gives you a collection of all Rose tracks, and since #Mom Lalonde and #Maplehoof feature in the flash Aggrieve is used in, they're also tagged.

Please submit propaganda!

Send asks with propaganda submissions for your favourite tracks, *especially* the ones you think are underappreciated. There's over 600 tracks to be featured in this tournament, and I can't sing all of their praises. That said, I also can't post every piece of propaganda given, so don't be surprised if someone else's argument for MeGaLoVania gets picked over yours.

Here is a more detailed FAQ, which may be updated over time. If you want more information on a track, just click the link on it's name, and you'll be taken to the matching hsmusic.wiki page, which may have creator commentary and more.

Enjoy the tournament!
