And a guide: -In no way these are my recommendations, I actually unrecommend a certain book here, my recommendations list can be found here. this one is the Wookiepedia list just less confusing (I hope) -She isn't a main character in all of these. At all. And some are just cameos, I didn't get into specifics about that. -Most of the canon books & short stories can be found in e-book/digital form, or in physical copies pretty easily, just look them up. -The same thing that goes for the canon books goes for the canon comics, although most of the issues listed are part of a series (as might be evident by their numbers). That doesn't mean you need to read the rest, because they're pretty stand-alone and usually just reference the other issues of the series/have a framing story related to that. -I'm not sure where you can find the Star Wars Insider issue or the Adventures Ashcan, sorry about that. -The Legends list is much more complicated than canon, since anything related to The Clone Wars series may contradict the prior Legends media. That's why I marked those in bold, as they are only officially part of that timeline, and don't make much sense with the rest of it (most of it, other than the actual episodes, were mostly de-canonized when Disney bought Star Wars with the rest of Legends). -There are ofc the original printings of those, but I also I believe most of the Legends books listed were reprinted as a part of the Legends brand, but if they weren't then idk what to tell you. -The Legends comics were also reprinted, mostly in big, pretty expensive collections. So it might be harder to buy those. I think there are digital copies of those collections, though, so you can buy them for cheaper that way. -The Clone Wars webcomics can be found here , through @clonewarsarchives (a great resource overall) -The short TCW stories (in bold under short comic story) can all be found here (once again through clone wars archives) -The Restraint short story can't be found anywhere I looked, only in the 2nd printing of Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter. One of 2 things on the Legends list I've yet to read. -The Dark Heart short story was originally published online, so it's here legally (link straight from Wookiepedia I sure hope it's legal). -I have no idea how to get to the Graphic Novels normally but I trust they're on eBay and co. -I've only talked about legal options but obviously, there's more. Act with discretion and I'm not posting links like that here. I might be able to help more through DMs but you know.

Heinoustuck

HAHAHA… DID YOU REALLY THINK YOU HAD SEEN THE LAST OF HEINOUSTUCK? A GOOD SONG NEVER DIES, AND THE SAME IS TRUE FOR ANY AU, ESPECIALLY IF THAT GOOD AU IS NOSTALGIC ON SOME LEVEL. Welcome to 2022!!!!!!!! Welcome to Fanadventure #200, and welcome back…to the gloriously hideous tale of Heinoustuck (note capitalization).

So I guess I should explain what official Homestuck content is doing in 2022. Suffice it to say, nothing. There is just radio silence, and in fact, this is the very first time since *2009* that we have Radio Silence from What Pumpkin or Andrew Hussie. No new releases, no new games, no new upd8s. Just. Silence.

But enough about those gloomy, dismal views on the state of the official material of the franchise! Let’s talk about a gloom, dismal webcomic instead. Yes, it’s the return of everybody’s favourite AU that simply will not die, HEINOUSTUCK. And this time, like all good horror franchises often become, it is getting a REBOOT AND REMASTERING. Which is good, because I didn’t quite like the second version of Heinoustuck, although I did like the first version quite a bit, which I guess is another parallel to Horror Movie Franchises. Anyways.

This is where my poor memory fails me yet again, because I literally cannot remember how the original Heinoustuck went besides vague memories of the broadstrokes, and I really wish to compare these two, because right now I’m sitting here thinking “was this always this bland?” Well, I mean, it’s grim and dark and stuff, and it’s doing an alright job of keeping the story on track, but…yeah. I guess I had lower standards back in those days…those halcyon days, 2 months ago. I do think the art has somewhat improved, but I think that might’ve come at the cost of animation, which I remember from the original being pretty good, all things considered. Okay yeah it definitely came at the cost of animation, because I seem to remember there being a scene where John is pressed up against the door and being impressed by how it communicated his emotional state by simply how heavy he was breathing. And this…does not do that. Instead, it just kind of wiggles John’s arms up and down? Which I guess does the job done but…idk. Maybe I’m just too blinded by nostalglia, but this, whilst better than whatever the heck the second henioustuck was, doesn’t quite live up to the glorious heights of “idk it’s pretty good I guess” of the original fancomic. I mean, a reasonable substitute for the modern era, but…yeah.

Nostalgia is ao weird sometimes especially when youve been using it as a coping mechanism for years. Im listening to my writing playlist from high school and felt a momentary longing for those rose-colored halcyon days when i would go to coffee shops and calmly work on my webcomic. Im currently sitting in a coffee shop calmly working on that same webcomic, theres no reason for me to immediately reach for "longing for the past" rather than "oh hey im feeling that same level of contentment *right now*, sick"

Think back, if you will, to the halcyon days of early 2020. The MCU still seemed unstoppable, and we were looking forward to the first (official for real this time) MCU tv show: Wandavision. Well maybe some of that spirit of optimism is back, because it really was Agatha All Along. Come; walk the road with us.

[S] Enter (progress version) is now up!

[ikkoarts]

Just so you guys know, I'm currently working on new pages for my webcomic, Neon Star. Please stay tuned for it! I'm trying to get at least 10-15 pages done by the end of the month so I can update on a weekly basis.

I’m really passionate about this series and my other one, Halcyon, so please, please stick around to see them!

[leam1983]

So, you wanna play the Wizard Game...

Let's start with a point of comparison.

When I was a kid, in the halcyon age of the Nineties, Earthworm Jim 1 and 2 were my jam on the SNES. I loved the associated cartoon, and basically owed my exposure to absurdist humor to concepts like the Great Cosmic Worm or the launching of cows into the stratosphere using a crude fulcrum. To me, EWJ was zany, lively, more than content to wag its Vaudevillan villains around for non-crucial bits of mundane evilness that went as far as being rude to the postman - and mostly innocent.

Then, time passed, I grew up, and came to learn of Doug TenNapel, the creator of the IP - and of his views.

Doug TenNapel is a Conservative who mealy-mouths his way around bigotry and antisemitism, more or less the type to Tommy Tallarico his way out of a situation by waving the "Lookit, I'm zany!" card as if we were still effectively in 1995. He tried for a comeback with a Webcomic entitled Ratfist, back in 2010, but his views more or less blew up in his face. Ratfist was unceremoniously concluded and TenNapel effectively faded from public consciousness.

I spent a few weeks wondering how I felt about this. I still had some fondness for EWJ and for ancillary projects that bore a bit of that TenNapel touch (like Shiny Entertainment's MDK), and it took me a while to remember that no, some literary analysis devices that I've been taught to use in the field are not, in fact, a form of tacit approval of the author's views.

Fast-forward to today, and I'm seeing a world where you cannot extricate a work from its author, where someone having a stroke of genius one particular decade ago and then turning into a raging shithole several years later apparently disqualifies everything they've put up in the past from any sort of consideration.

Now, my girlfriend had a sideline in Art History. Whenever she's confronted with Purity Culture as a concept, she remembers Caravaggio's works. The guy is a giant in the field of later Renaissance art, both for his talent and for his personality.

You see, Caravaggio fucked. He was a serial philanderer, he got into fights over women, cultivated a long list of lovers both male and female - and of open convictions. He also recruited a prostitute off the street and hired her to pose for him - as the Virgin Mary. Imagine picking a lady-of-the-road right across from the church that's just commissioned you, and recognizing that with the right light and medium, her face had those exactingly precise characteristics the elite looked for in their depictions of religious figures. For his time, he was as controversial as you could imagine. By today's standards, he'd probably have a massive following on Tumblr, if he were both alive and had a blog of his own. I don't think it'd be much of a stretch to imagine him as an ally, actually.

Despite that, no Art History student will ever look at his works in the context of who Caravaggio was. They'll look at his works in the context of when and where they were made. There's a massive difference there. In my own studies, I've done the same for everyone between Zola to Steinbeck, and I've definitely given Joanne Katherine Rowling's flagship series more of a critical eye.

Just - not in the way I'd assume most people would appreciate, these days. The Potterverse, if you will, is one that's effectively designed to be formative for younger readers, and one that quite visibly predates the author's drift towards reactionary politics. You can spot weak shades of it in some places, like Dumbledore's tokenistic referral as a gay man, but the series actually strives for inclusiveness. As to why trans characters never came into play, I'd chalk it up to ignorance and lack of comfort. I'm only a cis and bi man, and it took me years of study and careful attention to work past my own fears and workshop a trans character that wouldn't be - hopefully - much of an offense to anyone. Rowling herself simply never had that chance, or never took it once it was offered.

Obviously, she won't take it now even if it's offered. Her later works are disturbingly facile, in the sense that most skilled authors tend to use their external voice to provide mere observations and not to unsubtly pass judgement - an aspect in which she now repeatedly fails. Her posture can still be extricated from what she's written under the name of Robert Galbraith, but it has the relative finesse of a Ben Shapiro wish-fulfillment fantasy. Considering, I find it quite easy to draw a line between the Potter Era and the Post-Potter Era. There's a bitterness at play in her later works that just isn't present in what actually serves as her juvenilia, effectively.

There's a young and hopeful JKR drawing sketches in a café, and then there's the frustrated and bitter woman pulling increasingly desperate pleas for relevance. The lines couldn't possibly be any clearer.

So - let's assume you've effectively killed Rowling in the sense used by Narratology theorists and removed her from any consideration in her works. Can you play Hogwarts Legacy knowing that a small, if not insignificant portion of its royalties are going to go to Rowling's pockets?

Yes. How, you might ask?

Pirate it. If the Wizarding World still matters to you, pirate the fuck out of this one. Rip her books and upload raw PDFs to your Kindle. Considering the game's dev history, I'm sure plenty of employees in Avalanche itself would give you their blessing.

The Death of the Author absolutely does apply - especially in a situation where means exist to obtain the media involved at no cost whatsoever beyond your own bandwidth.

HACKBENT

Now, for the big reason why I wanted to do this “going back and recollecting all the fanadventures that I hadn’t yet covered in my original journey.” The year is 2013, the big hits of the fandom are still GuideStuck and Heinoustuck, and the juggernaut that Vast Error would become is still a tiny little sapling, wandering around playing with Darts. HACKBENT is the one glaring ominious at my original journey, so glaring I made a small post about it back in the halcyon days when nobody really cared because I had only just started getting to the real heavy-hitters of MSPFA. So, let’s do it. Let’s fix this glaring hole. Let’s read HACKBENT. Which apparently was created by a person who now works at DREAMWORKS???????? Crazy.

Alright, already I’m noticing a couple of tropes that gained traction afterwards, but I guess started here (or was added to the Homestuck Formula by this comic). Mainly, mysterious narrator intro that tells us that, hey, hold on to your hats. We’re not just going to do Act 1 of Homestuck. It’s gonna be a totally different thing. Then immediately after that, the comic THROWS you into a Pesterlog without any warning. “You’re here to see Trolls, Let’s get you straight to the trolls” the comic seems to be saying. Okay so the comic’s like, paced weirdly so far, but I’m kind of getting into it? Mainly because like, wow, there’s so many favourites here and it’s so early in MSPFA’s career as a website that there must be SOMETHING here worth remembering and capturing. But the weird pacing is like, all over the place. Obviously shadowy, mysterious narrator, then immediately pesterlog with two characters that you don’t anything about, then an introduction, check the computer, and suddenly we’re the other character from the initial conversation. It’s…a bit all-over the place, in a way that even Homestuck’s early acts weren’t like (trust me, I checked) and even, like, the other contemporary (relative to this comic’s initial posting, at least) comics aren’t like. Like, Guidestuck mainly stuck to one character at a time. That’s the main formula for most MSPFAs, you stick with one character until you get far enough into their introduction that you introduce another character, and so on and so forth. I guess this is a different way of doing it, and you know what, now that I type this out, this kind of pace of like “introducing characters rapid-fire” is EXACTLY the pace of Homestuck Act 5 Act 1, without the framing around that act of course. So I mean, who am I to complain. If you want to get your audience to meet all your characters and get to the “good stuff” of your comic, this is a pretty nice way of doing things.

You know, I wouldn’t be shocked if HACKBENT was like, around when Vast Error started conceptualizing it’s characters. I’m seeing so many character concepts that would later show up in Vast Error, and reading Hackbent is like the missing piece of the puzzle. “Aha!” I’m saying to myself. “So this must be what all the fanadventures were like back then, before Vast Error rose to prominence.” I mean, I know what they were like back then, I’ve read them. But you know what I mean. Like I said, it’s the missing puzzle piece.

Or maybe it’s just a correlated variable that I’m picking up. Maybe this is just what webcomics in general were like back in 2013. Back before MSPFA really had it’s own vernacular and language, and thus whatever MSPFAs were there were either borrowing from Homestuck’s vernacular or from other works. Whatever. Maybe I’m overthinking this too hard. It doesn’t matter, what matters is that this is very evocative to me and I’m struggling to I guess get a clear picture of where this fits in on the “impacting MSPFA” timeline. Because, like, to sort of quote a cliché, “they don’t make MSPFAs like these anymore.” Because, like, I feel like recently there’s this, almost obessive fascination with OG Homestuck, as people are rediscovering that, hey, Homestuck isn’t all that bad. But back in 2013, people weren’t quite in the “Homestuck sucks” phase that the fandom would later find itself mired in, but people weren’t like, obbessed over the structure and trying to recreate it. It’s more like, “how can we make Homestuck into a model that’s more traditional, more accessible to the general public, more like the other webcomics one might read on the internet?” HACKBENT is very accessible, and wears its heart on its sleeve. You don’t have to guess what archetype each character is, because it’s easy to tell-the pompous one, the conjoined one, the one that’s a ticking time bomb, the dirty one, etc. idk. It’s interesting to see how a niche community grows, is I guess my ultimate point here in this paragraph. I feel like I’m not quite communicating that point as effectively as I might like, but…I’ll stop now.

Okay so Hackbent is fascinating to me in like, pacing and what it wants to do, because it’s so unlike what the other big fanadventures were like at the time (with the exception of Guidestuck, but even then, Guidestuck had a much slower pace to it’s sequence of events, from what I can remember at least), and yet what it’s trying to do would be emulated many more times in the coming years. In Other Words, I really recommend this fanadventure, and I enjoyed it overall! Give it a try.

What’s bte? -new

OKAY SO

BTE is a webcomic called Beyond The End, it takes place in Heaven, Purgatory, and Hell after the end of the world. We follow the story of Endymion, an angel who fell and doesn't know why, along with Halcyon(a cat-like demon who's the adopted son of death and has some secrets), Cain(a once Archangel turned Archdemon with a...not so great past), and Roman(a horse). These four, through lots of bickering, jokes, and hugs, attempt to get to Heaven, all for their own reasons. But. In Heaven, it's discovered that Gabriel only felled Endymion to Purgatory, not Hell, in an attempt to save his brother. This is discovered by Michael, who is a grumpy asshole with a fucking stick up his ass 24/7. But. It's not a fun thing that Michael knows and he and a small group of angels leave to find him and "finish the job". Meanwhile, in Hell, someone please save Jeffery. The creator actually has a Tumblr, @/ duskdragonxiii (too shy to properly tag them but if you're interested PLEASE FOLLOW, READ, AND LOOK THROUGH THE TAGS)

There's a link to the first episode!!!!!! Please give it a read it's so so good!!!!
