[goldentigerfestival]

i will never not find it hilarious that they completely forgot to animate patty at the very end of the final cutscene in the last three frames of the whole group

and the dub didn't even give her voiced lines when everyone was shouting they so the localization forgot about her too

Alright ask 1. What is the basic story of your homestuck rewrite

In short, it's sorta combining all of me and juice's headcanons, applying it to canon, and just, making it NOT a convoluted mess of a story that requires like 3 essays to explain why x character did y thing.

In long…?

Well, it's kinda an exploration of 'what if you suddenly gave a bunch of preteens/teens access to godly powers with no supervision? And a vast chunk of them had horrid upbringings, fatal misunderstandings on how the world works, and that several of them are coming to terms (or learning of) their own identities as an individual now that they've been given a cruel sort of 'freedom'. It's the same structure, of the kid's session of sburb, but with a heavier focus on how some of their choices and actions would ACTUALLY affect things.

(And because I just LOVE some good angst, theres still conflict regarding the differing world views, and past events, but towards the end, they're more or less resolved.)

Aka.

LET US SEE THE DAMN GAME BE PLAYED.

Of course it's still comedic, but not everything is treated as a joke, and characters will actually get an 'end' to their stories. (or stories to begin with.)

I haven't worked on it too much, so theres no defined 'this plot point gets changed, and this gets added instead), but eventually I WILL get to that point. But some of the more major changes is that im def expanding upon the word building, and actually explaining the time loop shit.

Just as an example, Trolls don't have 'ages' the same way humans do. They're measured by whatever life stage theyre in, and it's just considered normal that, so long as all parties are of the same life stage, relationships are a-okay. Because. Why the fuck would an alien species who is clearly insectoid in origin have human-comparable ages. Both the main 12 and the dancestors are all in the fourth stage, which is most comparable to a human teenager, but they've still actually EXISTED for different amounts of time.

There's probably more, but I just cant think of it rn lol. It's still sorta in it's infancy of a rewrite, nowhere near ACTUALLY writing anything for it. (though the second I can even do a SINGLE page remake, I'm goin crazy. I love writing in that format SO MUCH)
