    Friendship is Card Games: Mane Event

    So, as I have come to understand, the main G5 IDW line has been replaced by/subsumed into a series of mini-series and one-shots that feels like the equivalent of a network trying to kill a show by bouncing it around the schedule. Hopefully I’m being paranoid there.

    Rumor Gathering

    While diminished from its peak, the Writeoff is still very much an ongoing concern. Regrettably, while I actually had an idea for the most recent prompt, my Saturdays are packed to the gills and thus I didn't have time to compose it before the submission deadline. As such, I have employed Dueling

    Friendship is Card Games: Wondercolts Forever: The Diary of Celestia and Luna

    The next entry on the schedule was issues #21 and 22 of the G5 mainline, but those have failed to manifest, making me wonder if that line’s actually been ended in favor of the various mini-series currently in progress. And among them, I only have one released issue unaccounted for. As such, it’s time to turn to the next pony novel… which does not contain ponies.

    Incident of Examination

    There's a Crystal Prep-themed Sunset shipping contest on at the moment, and one castoff idea I had got me wondering about Sunset attending CPA... and running against a logical issue. At least I got

    Friendship is Card Games: Tell Your Tale, Season 2, Part 2

    Looks like that Leap Day hypothesis carried some weight. The long-form episodes should be interesting in their own right, but we’re not looking at one this week. Let’s see what there is to see.

Voyage's End · 11:19am Apr 13th, 2016

Seven years ago today, a young man stood in his bedroom. That day, the 13th of April, 2009, was his birthday. Though it was thirteen years prior he was given life, it was on that day that he was given the name Zoosmell Pooplord John Egbert.

On this day, his long, exceedingly strange journey came to a close. Barring an epilogue with no definitive arrival time, Homestuck has ended.
And best troll lived.
I realize this isn't especially pony-related, but it is personally significant. I read Homestuck from the beginning, back before the suggestion box got hit by a meteor. It was what you might call my primary fandom prior to my introduction to Equestria, a process that began with some Rainbow Dash image macros on the comic's forums in the spring of 2011. Heck, the second story I ever submitted to Fimfiction was a Homestuck crossover. This is a rather monumental moment for me.

I'm trying to get a story ready by this weekend. Given how many ludicrous time shenanigans it involves, it should work well as an unintentional tribute.

I could get quite get my head around homestuck. It's definitely been quite the cultural landmark, at least in Internet terms.

This leaves us with something of a worry.....what will we do when Generation FIVE goes on-line?

So I guess it's time for me to actually get around to reading ALL the comics then. Always been on my list but time is in short supply...

Shit.
No homeshit, no homeshit fandom.
But, no homeshit, no Fan?

This is an awful catch-22. I'd very much like for homeshit to just have not ever existed.

Oh damn. Gonna have to get on that.

EDIT: Just saw it, and now I'm feeling really conflicted

And why did someone downvote my comment? What's offensive about it?

Is someone going around downvoting everything again?

Anyway, I might actually give Homestuck a try if it's finished now. It's always been too big and rambly for me, and I've been unwilling to start it because if I got hooked and then Hussie suffered an author existence failure two thirds of the way in, I'd be forever pissed off.

I felt something similar when the Professor Layton series ended. RIP.

Why? Did it really effect you that it did exist? I mean, I don't really like Supernatural or The Walking Dead but I'm not bothered by the fact that they exist and are popular. Even when the MLP fandom was new and I thought it was stupid, I only cared when a friend of mine wouldn't stop complaining about how much he hated it.

3867240
Well ain't that rude.

I thought that liking someone at least implied the decency of not outright insulting something they love to their faces.

3867205
We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. With any luck, G5 will be a worthy successor.

3867227 3867315
Bear in mind that Act 1 was suggestion-driven. As such, there's a fair amount of faffing about and a surprisingly high number of data structures. Rest assured, there is a point.

Oh, and be sure to read the chatlogs. A friend of mine thought they were optional. They most definitely aren't.

3867240 3867499 3867509
I respect your respective opinions and am fully aware of Homestuck's contentiousness. (Heck, just look at the trail of downvotes someone left on the earlier comments.) I ask only that you not start an argument here. Feel free to do so elsewhere.

Watched Act VII last night. I still can hardly believe that Vriska saved existence.

I'm a little sad that it's all over now, barring the hazy possibility of some future epilogue. At least it finally got to become the anime it was always destined to be. :rainbowlaugh:

It was a huge chunk of Internet culture. I hope that we can keep its memory alive, now that it's complete.

Now we just have to wait for Hiveswap. :rainbowdetermined2:

I kinda want G5 to be Something Entirely Different, yet good, but I have no idea what would be the best way to go there. Hopefully, Hasbro knows people with better pony-development imaginations!

Quite an ending, though, wasn't it? After a year-long break, the webcomic emerges from its cocoon, spreads its new wings, and flies off into the sunset as the anime it always was.

3867522
I wasn't really looking for one, I was genuinely looking for an explanation. I don't have any opinions one way or the other on Homestuck, but if I hated it I would have just wandered past this blog post without comment.

3867499 Being that the caustic and ofttimes retarded fandom was literally everywhere I looked before I started secluding myself online, yes. It was a daily, hourly reminder. Like the 13 year old fucktards that think PewDiePie is the best thing on YouTube.

3867509 *ahem*
Fuck you.

3867560 The worst chunk.
3867522 I really don't like people that can't read the sign downvoting me.

3867805
Bear in mind that the sign is not readily visible outside of your own work, and many people may not even realize it's there.

Also, having read the sign, I'm still willing to trash further posts made in this thread solely for the purpose of insulting others.

3867826 Well I mean. You can literally hover over my name / picture for three seconds.

3867848
You'd be amazed how many people don't think to do that.

3867903 I didn't think I'd honestly have to qualitate a statement like that about the homestuck fandom.
People like Fan are alright. People who bring homestuck outside of homestuck and communicate as if they're a character from the work, not so much.

3867805

I really don't like people that can't read the sign downvoting me.

I have read the sign and decided to downvote your comments anyway.

If anything, it gave me more motivation to do so.

People who bring homestuck outside of homestuck and communicate as if they're a character from the work, not so much.

This is something that is true in all situations. Some people dislike bronies for precisely this reason.

I suspect you dislike the behaviour itself rather than the work or its enthusiasts, to which I would like to give this rebuttal:

I read Homestuck from the beginning, back before the suggestion box got hit by a meteor.

I am a bit in awe.

I only started reading it when Kanaya was dead , but it was still a huge chunk of my life as well.

Considering I don't live in the U.S., being a fan of it was a bit lonely; I literally only had another person to talk about it ending today.

It still feels like...a great moment.

"Thanks for playing!" indeed.

I have not read Homestuck, being somewhat afraid of that particular internet juggernaught :twilightsheepish:, but it's hard not to recognize the immense scope of it.

It's strange that it is over now. :derpyderp2:

3868189

I apologize.

3868173

Considering I don't live in the U.S....

This probably sounds insane, but at first I thought Hussie and/or John were British.

Anyways, now that it's over, I'll have to actually catch up on it at some point.

I haven't checked up on it since the last hiatus ended. To be honest, I'd completely lost the thread of the plot. Someday I may go back and reread it all. Maybe.

It was...well, all I can say is that it was one hell of a ride. I'm not sure if I'm ready to get off of it, yet.

There's still the "Let's Read"...
