Just finished Homestuck? Here's what to do next.
A tumblr repost of something I just made for the Homestuck Reddit.
The Reddit version is going to be the one I update. It may get reposted by a HS Reddit Admin if they want to use it.
EDIT: Reddit version has been taken down and will be replaced this weekend.
Put in any further recommendations in the comments below and I may add them to the main post.
Problem Sleuth - The MS Paint Adventure that Hussie completed before Homestuck. It’s 1000 pages, and the only actually high effort adventure he made before his colossal webcomic.
Homestuck but in its original format
The Unofficial Homestuck Collection - This is the go to for all original Homestuck content. They reworked all the flashes so you can see them in their original crisp HD rather than compressed Youtube or the really awful VIZ flashes. Also has the in-comic videogames as they originally were!!!
Contains lost music and other media by the original teams that worked on Homestuck. Look at it, it’s worth your time, especially if you want to do a reread.
Homestuck.net is a fandom archive of all sorts of HS stuff, full of official resources and fan content and lost Homestuck media.
The Homestuck Epilogues - “Post-canon” splinter that takes place after the main timeline. Written by members of WhatPumpkin. Be warned - this is not a serious work and if you expect it to be an amazing sequel to Homestuck, you’ll be disappointed. It’s also, rightfully, got a million content warnings.
Homestuck^2: Beyond Canon - Comic sequel to the Homestuck Epilogues. Was put on indefinite hiatus last year.
Homestuck Patreon Content - There was some content posted on the Homestuck Patreon which is available on homestuck.net.
Supplementary official content
Paradox space - A bunch of comics made by creators like KC Green and Zack Morrison which were posted 3-5 times a week between 13th April 2014 and 13th April 2015. Comes in hardback, but is out of print and extremely pricey to get second hand.
Vrisky 8usiness - A comic about Vriska getting her robot arm by Andrew Hussie that was only posted in the hardback version of Paradox Space 2, which is now too overpriced to buy.
The VIZ Collection - VIZ Media printed books of Homestuck acts 1-5 (finishing a little before Cascade) which contains page-by-page commentary from Andrew Hussie.
The VIZ Collection Commentary - if you just want the commentary from Hussie and don’t want to shell £300 on books.
Homestuck 2.0 - Was originally going to be a Youtube video series hosted by Dante Basco. Was cancelled abruptly before it took off, but this video is still fun to watch. “Step on my neck tadpole mom!”
Hiveswap - A point-and-click visual novel which follows Joey Claire, the neglected daughter of Grandpa Harley, as she finds herself in Alternia long before the events of Sburb. A prequel to Homestuck which has 2 parts right now and is unfortunately on hold again.
Friendsim - A “friendship” simulator where you play as MSPA Reader and meet all the trolls from Hiveswap act 2, perhaps having some timeline fuckery and existential crises along the way. Can be played separately from reading epilogues/HS^2.
Pesterquest - A followup to Friendsim where you befriend the main 20 kids from Homestuck itself. WARNING: This one does contain HS Epilogue and HS^2 spoilers.
Official Bandcamp - Official way to buy high quality HS Music. Used to have the albums split up properly, was condensed some time after the VIZ Takeover for unknown reasons.
The Unofficial Homestuck Collection - Once again this contains all of the music.
The Baby is You - Toby Fox creates something utterly insane.
STRIIFE/Strife 2 - Unofficial Homestuck album by former Homestuck musician Tensei
Let me know if any more exists outside of LOFAM.
The Homestuck Fan Musicians/Land of Fans and Music
The LOFAM collection - Dozens of albums and hundreds of songs. The four LOFAM albums are of their highest quality. LOFAM was a major recruitment pool for the official Homestuck music team. You should absolutely give it a listen, especially their latest major release, LOFAM 4.
Cool and New Music Team - A collection of shitposty music made to honor the SBAHJ-style fan story Cool and New Webcomic. Some of it is actually good.
“Let’s Read Homestuck” - Voice acted video version of Homestuck
VOXUS/Let’s Read Homestuck - Currently ends at some point before the Retcon. Still ongoing. Fully voice acted with different actors for each character, as well as tons of effort to make it entertaining to watch.
Some significant fan content
[s] Rex Duodecim Angulus - An epic 8-minute collaborative fan animation of the Trolls defeating their Black King.
A Brief History of Homestuck - 2 hour long video by Sarah Z explaining the massive fan hype of Homestuck, its history over the past 12 years, and some investigative work into what happened with Hiveswap.
Homestuck Sent Me a Legal Threat, and Then it Got Worse - The followup video where Sarah does further investigation into WhatPumpkin’s downfall after they threatened to sue her for the first video.
You can’t fight the Homestuck - A Rite of Passage.
Octopimp Collection - Octopimp was a Homestuck fan who voice acted a bunch of fan comics drawn by other artists. It’s old as hell, but very fun.
Karkalicious - A short, absolutely legendary video where Karkat sings about how much people want to suck his dick. You’re welcome.
Cool and New Webcomic - A shitpost version of Homestuck, with many twists and turns. Has many flashes, a dedicated fanbase and tons of fan music.
Act Omega - A fan continuation diverging just after act 7 which uses flash animations. Notable for its high quality art.
Double Death of the Author- A fan continuation diverging just after John does the Windy Thing. A fix-it fic by someone who didn’t like the retcon. Notable for being, well, complete.
A 143 page fan comic of Hiveswap act 2 made for the Hiveswap Comics Contest.
The Homestuck Discord - a 20,000 member discord full of Homestuck fans.
MS Paint Fan Adventures - a website where you can make your own Homestuck fanventures, which has thousands and thousands of fanstories on it!
