    It took me about 6.2 hours to make this. This video ended up being over two times the length of the first one, which I wasn't expecting. And Act 5 Act 2 is several times longer than this. So it'll take a few videos to do that one. I don't own Homestuck or the summary, etc etc.
    This video covers all panels of Homestuck posted from January 15th, 2010 through September 19, 2010.

      So like there’s these 12 aliens called trolls, one for each zodiac sign, and they all play a video game called “sgrub”, and they all lose since these trolls suck. So they all die.
      In homestuck, when you don’t die a “just” or “heroic” death, you go to a dream bubble, which is like heaven.
      The trolls enter the dream bubble, and the scratch happens.
      The scratch is like a reset that recreates the universe but slightly different, but the old universe still exists. For example, the first human’s scratch makes all the adults the children, and all the children adults.
      So then there’s these new trolls who are EPIC, again, one for every zodiac sign, who’s personalities are based off both the personalities of the zodiacs, and internet trolls.
      Then they all play a video game, and all win, and by the way, when a player of the game enters the medium, they go to like some fuckin planet called land of blank and blank, and they orbit a planet called skaia. Also orbiting skaia, prospit and derse. On these planets, there are dersites and prospitans. So when they enter land of blank and blank, a dersite/prospitan is banished to their planet as their exile. Most trolls and all humans have one. They’re on their end game pad, and are rewarded with the ultimate prize, a new universe. They planned to enter the new universe and rule it as tyrants, but are prevented to do so by a dersite called jack noir. In the troll’s universe, they also have jack noir, but his name is spades slick. Spades slick didn’t get the ring in this universe, so he has no powers, so he was banished to alternia (the troll’s planet). The exiles all have moniters so that they can see years in the past, and interfere with the player’s session.
      So spades becomes Karkat (the cancer sign troll who LOVES THAT 69 BABY) ‘s exile.
      But the new universe’s jack noir got the ring, and each time a sprite (which is like a guide for the players of the game) is prototyped (basically giving it weird abilities, for example, if I prototyped a sprite with a microwave, then I would microwavesprite, who can heat things up) the boss of the game gets the sprites powers. The human’s sprites are davesprite, nannasprite, becsprite, and jaspersprite, so jack has the sword skillz and sword impaling him and wings of davesprite, the harlequin hat of nannasprite, the tentacles and cat body of jasperssprite, and finally, bec gets prototyped. Bec is one of the human’s dogs, and he can morph time and space to his will, basically time travel and teleportation. So jack now has bec’s time travel and teleportation, and teleports to the trolls universe and goes back in time to when the trolls won, and kills most of their dream selves. So then he’s trapped in the troll’s session for a while, and let’s get to the part where shit started to fly off the hook and why.
      John Egbert, Rose Lalonde, Jade Harley, and Dave Strider are all humans who have on guardian, whether is be a parent, a dog, or a big brother.
      They all play a version of sgrub called sburb, and then they all blah blah enter land of blank and blank blah blah. It’s exactly the same as the troll’s universe but with humans instead of trolls. Then jack noir is fed up with wearing hats that the black queen forces him to wear (and by the way, the black king/queen are supposed to be the final boss of the game, so they have all the sprites powers) shitty harlequin hats, and kills her, and steals her ring. Jack puts it on, becoming the new final boss of the game. He flies onto the battle field, kills some dersites and prospitans, and banishes some of them to earth.
      How about alternate timeline dave? By the way, each kid has a power over a certain thing, like karkat being the knight of blood, or dave being the knight of time. So john tries getting to skaia prematurely, and dies. I’m pretty sure everyone else is killed by jack noir. Dave then prototypes his sprite with cal, a puppet his bro uses, and is forced to suffer the consequences. Calsprite doesn’t talk, and just laughs. Dave uses his time powers to go back in time, and prototype himself with past dave’s sprite, becoming davesprite. Davesprite makes sure john doesn’t enter to early and helps bro fight jack noir. Then, one of the trolls puts john to sleep before he can prototype jade’s sprite, and if her sprite isn’t prototyped, she’ll get killed by a meteor, and won’t enter the land of blank and blank. So bec prototypes himself with her sprite, and makes jack noir super strong. He kills bro, dad, and mom, and goes to the troll’s session and kills all of their dream selves. All the kids go god tier, and its revealed to them by karkat that their session is doomed to fail no matter what. So they initiate the scratch, and in the new universe, the kids are the guardians, and the guardians are the kids. We have dirk, aka tiny bro, roxy, aka tiny mom, jake English, aka tiny grandpa (jade’s old guardian before he died and was replaced with bec), and jane, aka tiny nanna. In their universe, there are no trolls, rather cherubs, who live on future earth. A cherub is an alien body shared by two different minds. The cherubs we see in homestuck are calliope, who is nice to the players and helps them, and caliborn who is more like a troll. The cherubs chain each other’s legs to the wall, and each mind only knows how to unlock one, that way, they can’t escape and have the body controlled by one.
      Oh, how about lord English. There are a bunch of lornd engli! Jake English, new universe jack noir gets possessed by lord English, doc scratch, a guardian from the troll’s universe, becomes lord English, and caliborn becomes lord English when he’s an adult. Lord English is a demon that sollux, one of the trolls, created to be summoned at the end of the universe, but due to caliborn having power over time, he can appear before his summoning.
      So the trolls, the old trolls, the kids, and the new kids, all team up to fight the lord engli, betty crocker (a troll who, in both universes, found earth and conquered it with awful food), the felt (lord english’s gang, and spades slick’s rival gang) jack noir, and a mail man who is trying to get revenge on jack noir.
      Read it. No, seriously, I think anyone can pick up homestuck, read it, and like it.

      it would take literal weeks straight to understand every little detail of even the first few acts, and personally I don't fully understand, and I think that's half the fun of it. as long as you understand the basic concept that this is a life or death game with a fantastical reward at the end... you'll be fine.

    I think a lot of people misunderstand what the appeal of Homestuck is, and that bars them from entry. It's *got* a complicated lore, sure. But you can also just smile and nod, follow the basic beats of the story and enjoy the various comical or heartfelt moments, and it will be perfectly enjoyable just the same.
    When you get the impression that the lore is very serious, then the moments of deliberate silliness seem... well, silly. But that's on purpose. It's supposed to be goofy sometimes.

    Let me get this straight, 4 kids play the sims but in real life and you can move stuff around in someone else home without actually being there, they accidentally cause the end of their world and then a whole bunch of really small details and puzzling plot twists happen that don't make sense unless you REEEAALLY payed attention.

    • @JazzyWaffles

    This made me realize something, in every sburb session, the session itself is on it's own timeline, and the meteors weren't signs of the session begining, rather that john accidentally sent a bunch to earth, along with the babies, and each went to a different place on the earth timeline,and in the alpha session, that's how dirk and roxy were able to communicate with jake and jane, the messages go through the medium befor coming back. though at this point none of this makes sense, and I'll just say search up the Doctor Who "wibbily wobbily" speech.

    • @JazzyWaffles

    @glassrosee Před 8 lety +68

    These are incredibly helpful, but I do have one correction.
    After Aradiabot attacks Vriska, she doesn't just 'somehow recover'. Tavros takes her to the troll's equivalent of a Quest Bed, where after a huge ordeal with her psychically manipulating Tavros from Prospit as her dream self in attempts to have home kill her, she bleeds out and becomes God Tier. Aside from that, you're spot on though!!

      After decades of research, meditation, and appeals to higher forces, the wisest wizards of our time have determined that, in fact, Spades Slick may have gone straight for the big vault because he was tiring of the fight. The full truth, however, may never come to light.

      While this is a good summary of events, you're honestly better off just reading the webcomic given how fast this summary moves and how many little details it skims past.
      However, the official site is broken and the owners show no interest in fixing it. So if you have any interest, check out The Unofficial Homestuck Collection by Bambosh.

      Their issue is that they're trying to learn Homestuck from this abbreviated version that introduces new characters and concepts constantly instead of letting them pace themselves like the actual comic does, so they get overwhelmed.

    I heard of this from toby fox, I thought it was a game, then found out it was a web comic. I tried reading it, but only got to the cutscene where he looks over neighborhood and says it will be a long day. I then looked up a lets read of it cuz I'm lazy, and even then, I didn't get far. so I said, I don't really have to play it, after all, it is 800,000 pages long. so I looked up this on youtube, and by fuqn god. I think i'll stick to undertale, thnx.

    • @JazzyWaffles
      @JazzyWaffles  Před 7 lety +1

      To each their own. Homestuck is definitely unecessarily long for the story it wants to say, and is bloated with memes, references, and entire arcs that don't really go anywhere and feel like filler. However, the general plot is pretty well done, and could honestly be salvaged into a much better product. I love Homestuck for my own reasons, but I can totally see why it would turn a lot of people away.

    • @achillesdykeza2063

    Homestuck is too good not to be read. Once you manage to go through the first act everything becomes so tense, in the sense that everything goes down really fast, that you just can't stop reading. You just NEED to know how's Hussie going to manage to write the characters out of every intricated problem they get themselves into. I really recomend everybody to give HS a chance. It's not that difficult to follow once you pass Act 1. Just remember, once you start, don't stop until the end or you will have to go back several thousand pages to pic everything up from where your memory left the story last time.

    @orhater2955 Před 8 lety +1

    A few questions still. ( Thanks so much by the way for bearing with me) 1. Is Prospit actually in the incisphere? 2. Can you simplify the 2 distinct chronologies? Or at least what effects they have? (3:27) And lastly can you tell me the most crucial events in homestuck to keep in mind to best understand the rest? Again, Thanks SO much for your help, i really appreciate it .

    • @JazzyWaffles
      @JazzyWaffles  Před 8 lety +1

      1. Prospit orbits Skaia, and Derse is further out. If it helps, Skaia is like the sun, Prospit is like Mercury, the four kids's planets are like Earth except there are four of them and they don't orbit (they just stay there), the Veil is like the asteroid belt, and Derse is like Jupiter or Saturn (or any other planet past the asteroid belt). The Incipisphere is basically just their game session's "solar system," except it rotates around Skaia instead of the sun.
      2. Alternia is a planet in another universe, and the twelve trolls from that planet played "SGRUB" and created the human's universe, where Earth is. Then the four kids from Earth play "SBURB." However, their actions will later cause an "Invincible Demon" to be made, and that demon finds its way to the twelve trolls. The trolls then find out who caused the demon, and use their chat client (which can access the past and future) to talk to and/or troll the four kids. Act 5 Act 2 goes more into depth on how the trolls discover the four kids, and the trolls and kids get more involved with eachother.
      3. Hm... I'll try to point out some of the important events here:
      1. John enters the game. (End of Act 1)
      2. Years in the future, but not many... WV finds the command station. (Beginning of Act 2)
      3. Nannasprite explains some basics of how the Incipisphere, Derse, and Prospit work. (Act 2)
      4. Rose has to go to the tomb of her cat, Jaspers, to use the backup generator for her laptop. (Act 2)
      5. Rose drops Dad's car through the clouds, down to John's planet. (Act 2)
      6. Years in the future, but not many... WV accidentally eats some Uranium, the power source for the command station he's in. (Act 2)
      7. Years in the future, but not many... WV's command station blasts off, flying around the world to the Frog Ruins. (End of Act 2)
      8. Jade lives on an island near the Frog Ruins with her god-like dog, Becquerel. (Beginning of Act 3)
      9. Jade's grandpa has a lot of fantastical trophies, and created a Dreambot for her, which she controls while dreaming. (Act 3)
      10. When Jade sleeps, she wakes up on Prospit's moon. John is on the moon too, but has never woken up. (Act 3)
      11. Jade sees visions of the past, present, and future when Prospit's moon briefly dips into Skaia's clouds. (Act 3)
      12. Rose flees a forest fire to a neighboring laboratory. The lab contains meteor-trackers and ectobiology gizmos. Rose steals a power source from the lab and leaves, since a meteor is due to hit the lab soon. (Act 3)
      13. John realizes he's been drawing graffiti on his walls while asleep, and that he had been repressing that until now. (Act 3)
      14. Years in the future, but not many... PM finds a command station that flies her to the Frog Ruins, where she finds WV. AR is there, and tries to shoot at them. (Act 3)
      15. Dave's bro (and Lil Cal, the demonic puppet) kick Dave's ass, but give him his game discs anyways. (Act 3)
      16. John enters his first gate, Jade enters the Frog Ruins and receives Dave's game discs from the future, and Dad is released from captivity when he destroys Jack Noir's much despised clown hat. (End of Act 3)
      17. Literally everything from Intermission 1 and Act 4.
      18. Literally everything from Acts 5+

    • @JazzyWaffles
      @JazzyWaffles  Před 8 lety +5

      ON ALTERNIA:
      1. Tavros, Terezi, Vriska, and Aradia play a game of FLARP. Vriska takes it to far and cripples Tavros. In retaliation, Aradia uses her powers to make spirits haunt Vriska. Vriska retaliates by mind-controlling Aradia's BF Sollux and forcing him to kill her, making her a ghost. Terezi, disgusted with Vriska, tells an enigmatic godlike figure named Doc Scratch that Vriska has one of Scratch's stolen Cueballs, which are similar to magic eight balls or crystal balls. Infuriated, Scratch blows the cueball up in Vriska's face, making her lose an arm and an eye. In one last act of retaliation, Vriska mind-controls Tavros, making him mind-control Terezi's dragon, making it mind-control Terezi. She forces Terezi to stare into Alternia's blinding sun, blinding her. Afterward, they all call a truce.
      2. Twelve Trolls, including the five previously mentioned, start a game of SGRUB (basically Sburb), and end up beating the Black King, the final boss.
      3. Before they claim their reward (access to the new universe they created at the end of their game session), an invincible demon appears, and chases them into hiding. The trolls hide in the Veil, where they will later discover that John, Jade, Rose, and Dave's session was the source of the Invincible Demon.
      4. On future Alternia, an exiled Jack Noir (now Spades Slick) and his henchmen attack the Felt, lead by Snowman (former Black Queen), Doc Scratch, and the mysterious LORD ENGLISH. Each of the five Dersite exiles help the Trolls from the future, just like the exiles in the human kids's session do.
      IN THE KIDS' SESSION:
      1. Jade obtains a copy of the game from the future and becomes Dave's server player.
      2. John explores LOWAS, one of the four planets assigned to the four kids in the game session.
      3. Rose and Dave enter the game.
      4. Terezi tricks John into fighting his Denizen much too early, and his Denizen kills him. Months later, Future Dave goes back in time and Future Rose sends her memories back in time.
      5. Future Dave becomes Davesprite and stops John from basically committing suicide.
      6. Rose falls asleep upon getting Future Rose's memories, realizing that the MEOWEWWWEOEOW code she was scribbling subconsciously was an important genetic code (GCAT).
      7. The Gods of the Furthest Ring (basically Cthulu, the opposite of Skaia) tell Rose to destroy her copy of MEOW. However, Dave makes a copy of it and the copy is stolen by the Draconian Dignitary.
      8. John finds an ectobiology lab and creates himself, his friends, and their guardians.
      9. PM is unable to get a parcel meant for John, and has to go to Derse to retrieve it from Jack Noir. He will only give it to her if she kills her own queen and king and takes their crowns to him.
      10. Jack Noir looks inside the box and uses the weapon inside to kill the Black Queen, taking her ring of power.
      11. PM tells the White Queen of Jack's proposition, and the Queen abdicates, giving PM her ring and crown. CD steals the ring, but Jade takes it from him and keeps it.
      12. WV starts a revolution, uniting soldiers from both sides against both kings. While they are confronting the Black King, Jack Noir arrives, beheads the King, and massacres most of the rebels.
      13. The White King gives his crown and scepter to PM. Noir gets ahold of the scepter, initiating the reckoning.
      14. AR, while chasing a runaway rocketboard, finds himself witnessing the Draconian Dignitary throw Dave's SBURB copies into the lotus flower (taken earlier/later by Jade) and use MEOW and the DNA of Grandpa Harley's dog to make Becquerel.
      15. The eight clone babies, along with a number of random meteors, are sent towards Skaia. Skaia protects itself by redirecting the meteors to Earth in the past. The babies grow up to be the people they were cloned from, and the four kids. The Frog Temple and Becquerel have not yet been sent through a portal.
      16. Qt some point in the future, the White Queen, PM, AR, and WV end up on Future Earth by using the Skaian Defense Portals. WV's entry into these portals remains to be shown at the end of Act 4.
      17. Jack Noir flies up to Prospit and wrecks it, sending its moon plummeting towards the Battlefield on Skaia. Dream Jade tries to wake Dream John, and pushes him out of the way of the falling moon. However, she perishes in the impact, blowing up her Dreambot and sending her waking body (still alive) plummeting to the ground on Earth.
      18. John obtains the Ring from Jade, and gets a deadly Robot Bunny from PM. It protects him from Jack.
      19. Grandpa Jacob Harley scoops up his daughter's dead dreamself, taxidermizes it, returns to Past Earth, and puts it in the attic with his other trophy from the Game Session: Jack Noir's "Fourth Wall." This window lets us see Andrew Hussie, the author. (Yes, Hussie will interact with the story later.)
