The /co/ Homestuck Read-Along Anonymous 07/12/2025 (Sat) 11:46:57 No. 53588

[Note: this is separate from the general] Ever want to read Homestuck and never got around to it? Started back in the day but never finished? Read it all but never thought about it for years? It doesn't matter, because we'll be going through the whole shitpost epic, together. Think of this as a book club, where we'll be reading a set of pages each week, and then share all the highs and lows together. To read Homestuck today you'll need to use the unofficial collection from here: https://homestuck.giovanh.com/unofficial-homestuck-collection/ In this first week we'll be reading through and talking about Acts 1 and 2. For people who know later plot developments, try and keep your mouth shut. Don't even spoiler it, because we all know that if you see spoiler'd text or images you look at them right away and they don't hide shit. Week 1 (Sat 19th July): Acts 1 and 2 [pg 1 - 758] <<-- (You) are here Week 2 (Sat 26th July): Act 3 and Intermission [pg 759 - 1357] Week 3 (Sat 2nd August): Act 4 [pg 1358 - 1988] Week 4 (Sat 9th August): Act 5-1 [pg 1989 - 2625] Week 5 (Sat 16th August): Act 5-2 and Cascade [pg 2626 to 4112] Week 6 (Sat 23rd August): Acts 6-1 and 6-2 [pg 4113 to 4816] Week 7 (Sat 30th August): Acts 6-3 and 6-4 [pg 4817 to 5511] Week 8 (Sat 6th September): Act 6-5 [pg 5512 to 6242] Week 9 (Sat 13th September): Acts 6-6-1 to 6-6-3 [pg 6243 to 6920] Week 10 (Sat 20th September): Acts 6-6-4 to the END [pg 6920 to 8130]

>>56886 >Unless Hussie has some secret extra page I missed. Nah, that's what I meant. You've essentially read the whole story, congratulations! And as you already know, everything that came out after Credits doesn't count.

>>56989 It's funny, a part of me almost wants to read the Epilogues out of morbid curiosity, but on the other hand, I'd rather not have the happy ending tarnished by hamfisted drama or out of nowhere retcons.

>>57017 27th US time, but I fully anticipate the date rolling around only for the release to be pushed back. It wouldn't be an authentic Homestuck release without missed deadlines.

>>57061 I'm thinking of streaming it on CyTube, since it such streams are fun. The only issue is that I have things on in the morning and evening on the 27th, with only a relatively small gap in-between. I don't know if I'll be at the my desk when its airs.

>>57069 A few hours won't make much difference since it's only a pilot episode, and I'm sure people would watch regardless of if it was on time or not.

Well, the pilot is in an hour. Anyone gonna watch?

Was originally planning to share the link on halfchan but there seems to be more beyond cucked apologists and unironic trannies there than usual . I guess there's not much time to think about it now, so I may share the link there.

10 minutes left, for anyone who can't make the stream, pilot will be on the official SpindleHorse channel on YT.

>>57137 All the characters felt off, and while I can get that they only had 11 minutes to work with, that doesn't excuse Dave's... everything. About the only one that seemed right was Jade, and they had to skip most of her dialogue due to the pilot length. Dave feels like they took a random character from a random popular Disney teen sitcom and threw him into the pilot. The dialogue in general felt like they punched it up too much to try and nab the typical Vivzie fans and it doesn't really work all that well. The narrator and meta jokes took up too much time- they spent too much time on the sylladex and John picking a weapon when they could've used that to set up more plot stuff. And I don't know if I like them being so aware of the meta stuff already when I could've sworn it took them a minute before they started talking to the narrator/Hussie. The animation was... fine and I did like the joke at the very end with Karkat, at least. Seeing all the trolls for that brief moment was nice, too. tldr- 4/10, not very good.

Here is a webm. Are these first two characters introduced (assuming you're fortunate enough to know nothing about this work in general) supposed to sound like they've never had a growth spurt at all?

>>57148 They’re supposed to sound like soyboys, at least that’s what the roasties writing intend. I don’t really want to watch it again. As a point of comparison, the Project [S] videos are better in many aspects. I was planning on streaming those after the pilot but I forgot. Maybe I could stream those alongside some reviews of the pilot, if I find any that are actually decent takes that is.

Anonymous 09/28/2025 (Sun) 10:48:30 No. 57174

>>57138 Dave was definitely one of the biggest disappointments of the pilot. The pacing you can blame on the time limit at least, but the character portrayals of the cast in general was pitiful. I guess I'll hatewatch it.

Anonymous 09/28/2025 (Sun) 11:49:44 No. 57176

>>57174 I'm hoping that the writing issues will be improved with a full episode, but I'm not confident on that. They really need to tone down the wacky meta vibes, even if it is Homestuck. And they need to go for a more muted, less energetic Dave.

Anonymous 09/28/2025 (Sun) 13:51:10 No. 57177

>>57176 They also need to avoid inserting awful tumblr shipping garbage that wasn't already there, especially given the trolls provided more than enough of that. They also also shouldn't retcon characters who weren't gay or bi into either. There was more than enough of that in act 6 that is to say, any amount whatsoever. That makes the little "gag" in the pilot all the worse; the original webcomic already had stuff that the tumblr audience enjoyed, hence why they invaded it in the first place. It even had stuff that would appeal only to tumblr & reddit in the form of the troll's bisexual quadrant nonsense. It even had more gay romance and shipping drama in general with the alpha kids. And it even still had old characters retconned into being gay. I could forgive the pacing, without much difficulty mind you, but then they throw reddit Dave and all this on top. Wonder if >>56866 has given thoughts yet.

>>57177 >tumblr shipping garbage That's definitely something I worry about as well. I would rather they not alter any of the characters any more than they already have. I want a straightforward adaptation without any changes other than what absolutely has to be done, as it doesn't seem like they can be trusted not to go too far. But I wouldn't be surprised if the writing staff would read 'no changes other than what is necessary' and interpret it as 'make Dave and John gay because it's 2025 and we NEED representation'. That's who you're talking to, friend. :^) >>57180 May we see it?
