Homesuck: Vriska Rising - Page 1331

The only thing really bothering me is why Snake keeps doing this to himself.

I know it's a joke, but talking about destroying real people to "win a game", whose crime is that they made a creative choice you didn't like, is scary close to crazy frothing trollfan/gamergate rhetoric, and really not a funny joke at all.

I think you're taking that remark a bit too seriously.

I said I got that it's a joke. I just think such jokes are in poor taste given the current state of DEATH THREATS FOR EVERYONE that are not jokes.

So like, I finally feel I have a grasp on one of the MANY, MANY, MANY things that annoy the crap out of me about modern Homestuck.

I remember a time back when Hussie was on the Tumblrs and whatnot when he kind of shrugged off the notion of shipping, like he acknowledged that it existed and didn't seem terribly bothered by it but at the same time his storytelling efforts were directed elsewhere and shipping was just like, an expected byproduct of writing great kids with chemistry.

But now?

Now it's goddamn SHIPPING: THE WEBCOMIC
(Wherein the only substance is goddamn ships, SHIPS, SHIPS)

I get it, I was 16 once too. But god fucking damn Andrew, you've now written literally every character into the story into a gushing shipper who literally can't stop shipping themselves out every three seconds. I'd expect this kind of behavior out of Nepeta, who had that very much as a character trait of hers from the beginning.

But you know how to write interesting romances? It's all in the subtext. The little unexpected moments of spontaneous human connection. Those moments when you're like "Oh yeah, s/he's really cool. We just spent a lot of time together and s/he gets my sense of humor and I want to see him/her even more."
It sure as hell doesn't look like every single character, regardless of their personalities otherwise, ruining a goddamn REUNION WITH FRIENDS YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IN YEARS with constant plans and shenanigans of pairing each other off every which direction

You know when John and Rose are just goofin' off and she's messin' with him while he's exploring the oil planet? That works SO MUCH BETTER AS A ROMANCE EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE THEM AS A COUPLE YOU GUYS, because it is natural and delightfully charming dialogue that SHOWS AND DOES NOT TELL YOU THERE IS ROMANTIC COMPATIBILITY

Solid Snake · 05-10-2015, 08:14 PM

GODDAMMIT

CAN WE HAVE SINGLE CONVERSATION

A SINGLE FUCKING CONVERSATION

WITHOUT SHIPPING

AND WITHOUT THE CHARACTERS JUST COMMENTING ON HOW HOT OTHER CHARACTERS ARE

AS IF THAT'S WHAT THEIR COLLECTIVE CHARACTERIZATIONS HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT? ACTUAL PERSONALITIES? NOPE EVERYONE JUST WANTS TO HAVE SEX WITH EVERYONE ELSE

A UNIVERSE WITH ACTUAL MYTHOLOGY AND PLACES TO EXPLORE AND A FINAL BOSS TO DEFEAT AND AN EMPRESS OUT THERE AND JACK NOIR DOIN' SHIT SOMEWHERE NO WHY THE FUCK WOULD WE CARE ABOUT THAT

AT THIS RATE ANDREW YOU MIGHT AS WELL JUST FUCKING START DRAWING RULE 34 PORNOGRAPHY OF ALL THE CHARACTERS IN AN ORGY I MEAN, WHY EVEN BOTHER STOPPING HALFWAY, THAT'S CLEARLY WHAT YOU WANT YOUR ONCE INTERESTING WEBCOMIC TO DESCEND TO

And now its time to call Snake a puritan commie papist jihadist monster because he clearly doesn't agree with free love and wild raunchy sex for everyone. I mean jeez, next thing you know, he'll be saying sleevless shirts are dirty degrading mind destroying porn that must be crushed.

KIDDING! :P
