Homesuck: Vriska Rising - Page 797

As far as I can tell, he's grooming her to work for Lord English, or be trained by him. And she doesn't like that.

The rest of the stuff I don't really know, but that's as much as I need to know about the basic situation.

My biggest question is how she got there and then, and why she's never spoken of this, if this indeed Alpharadia.

I'm sure it'll make sense soon enough. Most things do. Give the story some time.

But Scratch is clearly trying to gear her towards some purpose of his, probably related to Lord English. She obviously does not like that.

Scratch is holding a young girl captive against her will, apparently because LE needs her for some undisclosed purpose, still playing the part of a creepyscary gentleman all the while. What more do you need to know?

My only problem with that argument is that really I've wanted this story to end or at least get close to ending far sooner than Hussie apparently planned it to
Act Five has dragged on at this rate to encompass all kinds of meandering plot points that I could not have possibly guessed would be necessary

It's like if Homestuck was LOST, this would be what LOST would have looked like if its creators did not deliberately sabotage themselves in Season Three in order to ensure that ABC would agree to an end-date
This is like LOST if it had to come up with new random plot points to justify it going into a tenth season

EDIT: At this point part of my criticism really stems from my personal suspicion that Hussie has elongated Act Five far past what he originally anticipated solely so he could continue to profit from Homestuck because Homestuck is popular and he's afraid of what he's going to do once it ends
I mean think about it before you call me crazy, he originally thought Act Five was just one Act in a seven-act structure
Even if he planned Act Five to be longer than any other Act he surely could not have expected it to be this long, or he would have divided the story into more appropriate Act breaks

Now, what could be so awful that Aradia(???) would rather commit suicide than watching/doing it...

Yeah, Acct Five is pretty damn ridiculous at this point, I will definitely give you that.

I mean, wasn't it about 3 months ago that Scratch said he was going to quickly get us to the end of act?

Oh an updaadknofsgpsdgnkfns WHAT IS HAPPENING?

Bard The 5th LW · 08-09-2011, 11:36 PM

I like to think that Hussie decided 7 acts wouldn't cut it, but he didn't want to admit it, so thats why he split it into 2 parts, sorta 3 if you count the Scratch bits.

But what you said makes plenty of sense. He's dragging it out, seems logical. From what I understand, he is making a living off Homestuck. Who is to say his next project will be nearly as successful?

Hussie is using way to many Rose references for this Aradia and Rose to not be related.

Bard The 5th LW · 08-10-2011, 12:03 AM

Its seeming that Aradia is the one to appearify Jaspers, because I vaguely remember that furniture being associated with the event.
