Homestuck may have the highest acknowledged bodycount of any singular work of fiction.
001927 John looks out his window, and the MSPA fandom collectively wonders if this is going to be another ‘escape the room’ style plot, with the mailbox as its final goal. This, thankfully, is a notion that will be disabused[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Why People Are Frustrated: A Critique.
THIS!! ALL OF THIS!!
I’ve written 3000 words on Homestuck so far and I’m only on page 001923. I’m gonna stop for the night and pick up tomorrow.
001916: John: Squawk like an imbecile and shit on your desk.
001914 Captchalogue cards are full. Prepare for incoming SHENANIGANS, as John tries to captchalogue nails with which to hang the poster. 001915 John takes the nails into his already full sylladex and we are shown more of how it works[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
001911 gives us a nice self referential MSPA merchandise plug. As of 4/16, the link still works. 001912, besides being an obvious example of a reused page (page 001905), also sets up one of Homestuck’s early running gags that is[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
001909 gives us a taste of more knowledge of how John Egbert’s sylladex functions, and that’s about it. John captchalogues some smoke pellets for later use, and they shunt the fake arms back a ‘slot’ in his sylladex. In 001910[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

HOOBOY. 001907 introduces us to two concepts, captchaloguing and sylladexes. Two funny words that would be the basis of a lot of the humor and antics of the early comic, and then fade out into obscurity and uselessness as the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
001906 Introduces us to what one could consider the very first ‘dropped element/dropped plot point’ of Homestuck, and that’s ‘you’ and ‘your’ interaction with the comic. The text reads “>>Remove CAKE from MAGIC CHEST.”“Out of sympathy for John’s perceived lack[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
001905 ‘Retrieve arms’ is a recurring gag from earlier MSPAs that fans liked to call back to. I can’t really emphasize this enough that at this stage of the game, Hussie was very much in a literal dialogue with his[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
001902 is the same kind of joke that MSPA initially relied on, making fun of dopey fan input. Somebody actually suggested the name Zoosmell Pooplord, and Hussie made a panel rejecting it. This is a joke that I believe gets[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
001901: The first page. It’s been altered since its original inception. First of all the date 2009 was added. Other than that I THINK it’s the same. Although who knows? Actually this isn’t technically the first page of homestuck. There[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
