How will you feel when Homestuck ends?

[MrHedge64]

Too busy readin' the inevitable sequel.

Too good a chance to pass up in my books.

[JegusV2]

There is... a part of your post that I don't understand at all. Yes, things change when a work finishes, or when you get to the end of it, but you say that "[Digger's] Characters no longer existed, and I would never see them again". I don't get this. No, there aren't any new canonical incidents, but everything in the past is still as valid and real as it ever was. Less immediate, perhaps, but no less worthwhile. And there's nothing stopping you from writing, or causing to be written, not-terrible fanfics. Nor, indeed, anything stopping Ursula from revisiting the characters at some point.

When I say the characters no longer existed, I don't mean in the incredibly literal sense of "they were never there! DOOOOEEEEEOOOOOEEEEoooooEEEE'. Instead I mean that we will no longer see what happens NEXT. On our monitors, their timeline will end. Their story will be done and we will have nothing more of them except the hard copy of memories.

I find that to be sad. No, sad is the wrong word. Melancholy. I find it a melancholy thought.

P.S. Also, the fanfic thing was a cheap joke - I apologize.

[DoctorCello]

Like most people, it really depends on how it ends, but I imagine I'll be a little sad at first, but glad in the end because it ended before it jumped the shark.

...unless it jumps the shark beforehand.

[AJfriss]

I'm pretty sure I'll be sad however it ends. This is probably because a good number of my friends read it (or have read problem sleuth and claim it is better than whatever else followed it) and I feel its pretty important to the group as a whole.

[tectonicRobot]

I will feel the same way I feel whenever something I enjoy ends. Empty. Soul-crushingly, terrifyingly empty. Like the void man, the void. I'll feel so empty I will start pondering what it would be like if nothing ever existed. You ever pondered that, man? It's trippy, so trippy. So yeah, feelin' empty is what I'll be doin' when homestuck ends.

[spittles mcsh8tface]

I would feel incredibly empty. Happy, but empty. It's something that I know I'll remember for years to come, and they will be very fond memories. It's fun, and almost all consuming. And I will thoroughly miss it.

[ArmsAreLoud]

At first I will be all like oh noooooooo

But then I'll be like "Oh wait it's not like Hussie is going to stop drawing or anything"

[Candice Dionysus]

To be honest, I'd feel the same way I did when Buffy/Angel ended (before it was revived from TV Show to Graphic Novel), the way I felt when Jericho was unduly canceled not once but twice. A little off-put, possibly in love with the ending, still obsessed with the story and the characters regardless of it having ended, and a little bit empty for a while as I attempt to find something to fill the void in my heart.

[Triangle Man]

Depending on the ending, I'll feel a bit of longing after the final update, yet at the same time a sense of satisfaction from having read a great story from start to finish.

And I guess that since the story still exists, I can read it again and again if I so choose.

[Achille'sHamstring]

I would feel empty, but satisfied. I would also want to go to sleep right away, no matter how many times I'm asked to cuddle.

[rj lake]

i'll feel relief from the knowledge that i won't be forced against my will to make entirely unoriginal music that is only remixes for a piece of shit homosuck about some kids or whatever made by some guy who doesn't have what it takes to talk professionalism with me

fucker doesn't even have inuyasha in it, how can it be something i care about

what bullshit is this thing anyway, a comics? what does homestuck is

whoof wants to know

he's a pretty fucked up guy

we don't hang out that much, whoof and i

how can a whoof know how to feel when a homestuck endeds

[idioticRanter]

The Green Sun.

OT: I will go...



What the fuck did I spend my last year reading?

[trlkly]

I guess I'm the only one that likes getting to the end of stories? I really don't see what's going to make me feel any different about this than any other work.

As long as Andrew does a good job, I'll be satisfied. And if he trolls us, well, then I might send a certain ATH program to his computer, but, other than that, I'll be fine.

[Gumba Masta]

I will realise that Homestuck was the best thing that happend in my life...
Then I realise that the best thing in my life was a webcomic with alien kids having sloppy makeouts...

[BRPXQZME]

I will feel asleep for the first time in years.

[Kibble Wensleydale]

I'll be setting up a stand selling cheaply-made, off-brand Homestuck merchandise right next to the stump.

[Tenebrais]

I imagine I'll stick around for the community until something else catches my interest, even if that's just the next MS Paint Adventure. As long as Andrew's making 'em, I'll keep reading 'em.

[Gonaaads]

Not a moment too soon.

That is what I would say. Obviously, Homestuck is nearing its end; yet so many things have been left unexplained. What will happen to the Horrorterrors? To Scratch? Who is Lord English? What happened to Slick? How will everybody bring down Jack and English? How will Hussie's ONE YARD of involvement in the story happen? What happened to Jaspers?

SO MANY QUESTIONS, SO LITTLE TIME, HUSSIE.

And then I would wait for the next adventure.

unless that's code for "about halfway through" what


also:

inevitable sequel

ahahhahhhahahah

ahhah hah ha ha oh my fuck you're totally serious

i am almost one hundred percent sure that would not happen, at least not in a serious fashion and definitely not from andrew hussie himself, not for perhaps fifteen to twenty years after homestuck ends, broham

[Isoraqathedh]

As a reply to the above, there will most likely be an already chopped-up and predigested Homestuck in basically any future event.

As for me, I'll have so much EOF (End-of-fic) paperwork to file that I won't have enough time to mourn anything.

that's like saying that "because firefly has spaceships and a main character who has some similarities with han solo, it's a sequel to star wars" and shut up, isoraq, nobody likes your style

[ArmsAreLoud]

XFactor, I assumed by "sequel" he meant sequel as in like how Homestuck is the successor to Problem Sleuth.

That's an incorrect definition of the word, of course, but yeah.

[Isoraqathedh]

You just made the previous statement true.

You have none to blame; it's a recursive concept.

AAL you pretty much nailed my point. Though I do admit it's no "sequel"...

[rj lake]

Occasionally, one will say a thing. But these things are none but things and they are only things. To say a thing is a thing is correct but very wrong because, to be sure;

not all things

are things

[Isoraqathedh]

Okay let me put this into letters here.

Predicate X. X = X; X E Xi. Statement: X = X -- evaluation: true (identity) but false (X !E X).

Did I get all the "is"s and "things"s correct?

It would eventually occur to me that I may not be able to mute.
