Hey there! For the uninitiated, MSPA is a website run by artist/writer/animator Andrew Hussie. Homestuck is a comic framed as if it were a text adventure game, told in second person. The command beneath each panel serves a "next" button. Don't forget to read all the dialogue and watch all the musical animations!

Homestuck is also an epic story of time travel paradoxes, alien civilizations, chess monsters, teleportation, human cloning, and Nick Cage tributes.

Wait, forget about that. That sounds incredibly silly! What's the story really all about?

Why you got to be asking all these Ultimate Riddles like that???

Homestuck is a seven act story in progress, currently at Act 5. There will be a short hiatus 7/20 to 7/27, so now is a good time to get caught up, or reread the story.

The server user builds up the client's house.
An exile's station will appear at the server user's location. That exile will talk to the client.
For example, WV found the cork station at Rose's place and talked to John.
The station will resemble the cruxite item.

John had a blue Sassacre book, and found an aged brown copy in a safe. The brown book had an inscription from his Nanna, which we saw at the start of Act 3. At the end of act 3, Nannasprite inscribed the blue book and sent it to LOWAS. Grandpa Harley retrieved it and took it to the Veil. The blue book went back in time on a meteor and eventually became the brown book.

Rose and Dave dream on Derse and hear the gods. Aradia hears the voices of her dead ancestors. Terezi dreams on Prospit and hears her incubating lusus. Sollux hears screams of the imminently deceased and has psychic visions.

    I have just now figured out the ending to Homestuck

    Lord English is the reader, and the way we are beaten is that Hussie unveils his character picture and description generating program, which he will deploy to automatically update Homestuck 25 times a day with introductions to new characters and the first few pages of their stories.


    At first some of us will think it's the greatest thing ever, but then the seams will start to show, we'll have cataloged all the different combinations and be able to predict what's next. After three months Hussie will relent and end with a declaration of ad infinitum/nauseum but all but the most hardcore would have conceded defeat.

    You can't, that I can recall. I think a lot of people foresaw the closing of that thread due to being preemptive (which is apparently a big deal? I dunno, I'm kinda new in town) plus Sabre is always on top of things sooooo

    no surprises there.

    Yup, just in case the thread got locked, which did just happen. Good that Sabremau also quoted it, it was a fabulous OP, shame it could have gotten lost.

    I'd say we are rather civil here and wouldn't cause too much ruckus but I do think it is fine of the mods to say on top of what we may consider unnecessary rules, nip a possible problem i nthe bud, so to speak.

    Do I look like Karkat over here? Is that what you're saying? Are you saying I look like some 13 year old gray kid with candy cane horns and a constant grimace? Are you saying I was born as some sort of grub and that I was raised by a monstrous crab creature, and that I'm always getting angry at things. IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYIN?!

    Nobody wants to be in the last posts in a thread so when it reaches the moon they go ahead and make a new one but then people are posting in the old thread and people are getting mad at them for posting in the old thread they're all like pay attention silly goose but the new thread is titled by some clever quote and halfway down the page and the old thread is right there in the user panel and how were they supposed to know and there are two threads at the same time and people are trying to cite rules at each other and then the old one gets locked and then the new one gets locked so five people make another one so all those have to get locked

    This all happened because last night I had to go see Grown Ups for the second time at the other theater, and I didn't much like it, but then I got back and there were two threads up and it was all very chaotic, but then a few hours later I had to go screen Standing Ovation and it's worse than Last Airbender.

    So, speaking of Karkat, I wonder what color his blood is. HIS GRAY TEXT COLOR IS SO DAMN MYSTERIOUS I'M ALL CURIOUS. NOT AS CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT GA, YEAH I GOT THAT RIGHT THIS TIME, WHAT GA'S REAL NAME IS, AND WHAT THOSE FREAKY WATER PURPLE-BLOODS ARE ALL ABOUT. FOR SOMEONE WHOSE PRETTY OBSESSED WITH B1OOD COLOR STATUS EQUIUS SEEMS TO PRETTY EASILY DISCOUNT THEM FOR SOME REASON.
