I loved reading what little of Cataclysmalbound there was ❤

Cataclysmalbound

Something I’m noticing as I’m checking out these adventures is that A LOT of them stop like. Precisely around 2019. Which makes sense; 2019 is like, the watershed moment of the Homestuck Fandom as we know it today, and like. THE modern fandom, for better or for worse, was made and forged in the fires of 2019 discourse and fanadventures. It would make sense, then, that a lot people who came before that point and weren’t initially drawn into a fandom that already had the epilogues might have been turned off from the whole “fanadventure creation” side of things. Anyways. That’s enough speculation for now. We aren’t even out of 2017 yet!

This one’s a Troll Sburbventure; it seems like truly, Trolls have overtaken Humans as the go-to species, or atleast are tied with humans as the go-to species for a Sburbventure. We’re not at peak “Trollventure” yet, though; that’s going to be later on.

However, I will point out that by the time we’ve reached 2017, you can certainly feel a shift in who is producing MSPFAs, as this troll’s introduction handily tells us their pronouns! Cool! We can only hope this means that the juvenile machismo that haunted early MSPFAs are defeated forever. Hopefully.

I think maybe the divide between Troll-helmed Fanadventures and their human counterparts are more than just the species that are at the center of them. I think it goes deeper than that. Troll-Helmed Fanadventures seem to be more…like…I don’t know, interested in romance, whereas Human-helmed Sburbventures are more like, into chicanery and shenanigans and bungling around a room. This kind of makes sense, if you think about it: Trolls are the species that have an entire system that revolves around romance, and the Troll Act of Homestuck is basically where more of that relationship drama is built into the work itself, so it would make sense that people who were fans of the species would also incorporate it into the fiction they create.

You might also notice that this review has not really focused on the fanadventure itself. That’s because, well, I guess, there’s not much for me to say about it. It’s a Troll Fanadventure from 2017; you already know the trappings, how it handles itself, how it handles the art, etc. So instead, I’m using this space to get some feelings out on what I’ve seen over the past 67 fanadventures I’ve read. Anyways. Onto the next one!

Attention, all Cataclysmalbound fans! Sebran is in trouble, he needs your help to defeat Vergas, and in order to do this, he's going to need his trusty nerf gun and his gang of friends. To help him, all he needs is your credit card number, the expiration, month, and year, and the three digits on the back! But you have to be fast though, before Vergas finishes his plan to kill all his friends!

#8 for the ask game!

8.) what inspired your world building, if anything?

i think ive mentioned on here before that when i first started hashing out refactoring, the whole idea for the world being made up of computer code came from an old cataclysmalbound plot point that i really loved at the time physical aspects of the world, lots of inspiration from video games and how they work (the world has glitches and stuff. speedrunning is an actual real world sport. physics are just kind of funky. deadzones are massive minecraft farlands-esque expanses of digitally corrupted land. mavis is an anomaly, which is basically just like if a guy could clip through walls because reality didnt know what to do with them). social aspects of the world mainly come from what it was like to grow up online imo (in my mind vitium is kind of just the internet). technical aspects of the world, like getting into the nitty gritty of trying to explain Why Things Work The Way They Do, i am trying and would further like to take some inspiration from the actual wires and systems and etc that make up how the internet runs :) because deep in my heart i am a compsci enjoyer even though its kind of difficult for me to wrap my head around that stuff sometimes eventually i also tapped into my love for inanimate things being alive (the code that makes up the fabric of this world is alive and she loves you) to wrap it all up with a bow ^_^
