Homestuck Summarized (Acts 1, 2, and 3) 

Good that means this video is doing a good job XD

I don’t think even the Homestruck fandom are sure what Homestruck is

Then the video is doing it’s job

so does everyone

? what do you guys mean by “the video is doing its job (XD)”? Isn’t the video supposed to NOT confuse you?

I am become Breath, creator of worlds.

Honestly, Game Over is tiny compared to flashes like Caliborn: Enter, Remem8er, or Act 7. But none of those are as shocking or emotionally invested with their deaths. Homestuck's body count is functionally infinite.

Dead Meat only counts on-screen deaths, so I think it would be finite

It's a long story.

@@JazzyWaffles well yeah, but it's only been a few months since I started reading it

13 year old self-clone child plays a game that isn't a game and destroys the universe that was always destroyed that was created by the other universe that was destroyed already but at the same time because some other 13 year old self-clone children played the same game-not-game (brought about by their parents in a parallel reality failing to be able to play said game-not-game) and thanks to an evil god that doesn't exist yet they collectively end up causing him to have already have existed, so they reboot the universe and join forces with their self-clone parent children so they can find a way to win the game and maybe also stop meta-reality from collapsing because the evil god that already existed that they caused to exist from earlier (and also later/now) has decided to blow up Cthulhu's chill afterlife party in search of a parallel universe version of his 1/4th sister who flies into a giant green ball of exploding double-universe mojo and then summons the story itself so that all of reality around her and her 4x brother evil god collapses in on itself thus causing the entire story to exist while all the kids, after rebooting time again because of course they had to do that, escape reality and have their happy ending, except maybe not actually because of supplamentary post-canon material. And the best part about that entire sentence-paragraph-hybrid is that it spoils literally nothing thanks to how stupidly crazy and confusing to outsiders this comic is.

@@JazzyWaffles my mind is still trying to process what It just read after 10 minutes

summeration

good??

"summeration"

That's Homestuck!

That's how homestuck works!

that's h0mestuck babey!!!;!;!;!!

Its Homestuck

likewise....

Julia Tekle Yeah, some word are complicated, i just really undertood the basic plot of homestuck at my 2 reading, before act 6 came out. in fact, at my first time reading i even acidentelly skiped [s]cascade.

I couldn't figure out what was happening after act 4

same

Chelle Doggo This was 6 months ago, but it all comes together after. I'm not finished, but it does. Keep reading, and you can read it again but everything is explained.

Always In Progress Nice profile picture

Sensei Early pages are, since the audience fully controlled the story. But after the very early pages, the story coalesces, and starts gaining overarching themes, complex story arcs, etc. Of course, then you have shit like the Dancestors, who show up 5/8 into Homestuck and are pretty much 200% useless except maybe Kurloz, Meenah and Aranea.

MaKiNg SeNsE Is ToO mAiNsTrEaM

Early internet culture be like

Wow and it was hard for me to finnally understand the fnaf lore .. Yeah homestuck is not for me i dont think its tragic enough eny way

@@sugarrollz3524 not tragic enough? 0_0

294

*Boy were you wrong!*

Yes im from the fnaf community and wanted to try and find a new tragic backstory fan base but i dont even know if its tragic or not so im just going to pretend it dosent exists

@@sugarrollz3524 i meannnn there's a fair amount of heavy angst hiding behind all the chaos and jokes, but it's not really anything like fnaf-- still give it a shot though!! The first few hundred panels will probably be confusing as all hell, but they're still pretty entertaining, and once you get into it, it's super good :)

@@shawtywiththesolluxpfp618 oh ok :'D

I think i also like thinking about theorys to in fnaf lol

You know what, everyone is saying "just keep reading". That's not exactly enough for me. I've tried it and it was extremely boring. This summary doesn't make it sound appealing either. Is there anything of actual value in the comic?

@@AbystomaMexicanium how many acts have you read

@@imanredouane6523 Few chapters. Well, plus this video. And I have no desire to continue.

Adam Furik don’t it only gets shitter man

@@AbystomaMexicanium The first 3-4 Acts can be quite boring, yes, but after that it all spirals outta control. Consider reading further.

yes

I'm doing this

No you'll just be wasting your life away on something that won't pay off, like Sherlock.

yes

No. I read up to the beginning of chapter 6.1 before I had a mental breakdown and locked myself in a room for 3 hours. So then I watched this.

Yeah pretty much

Well partially but also the story is just random for Randoms sake

You're welcome! I planned to do Act 6, but I got too busy :( I'll probably start back up in June with A6-1 and 6-2. :)

looking forward to it 😊

Jasmine Bupito same

Yes, I know. Audio balancing has always been an issue for me, but I've been getting marginally better at it as time has progressed.

@@JazzyWaffles yay :D good for you

Correction: About 2500. Misrememebred lmao

Midnight Specter You're not the only one.

CrystalWood YT good.

Ally the Amazing You're welcome! ...and yikes, the audio quality difference between this video and the final one are jarring.

Jazzy Waffles Haha, yeah XD

yes it says its banal shit

this is literally simple compared to later

This is a recap that recaps thousands of pages of info. Reading the comic is the best way to understand what's going on.

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.

Xx_Phedora_LvUeR_xX ive been hit with so much deja vu

I just want to say that you’re not dumb for not getting this. I’ve read the whole comic and still have no idea what’s going on

@@xx_phedora_lvuer_xx2498 **Cough cough** _Can you repeat that._

Tip of the iceburg, honestly. I'd recommend reading the actual webcomic (and not skipping or skimming anything). It's well-paced enough that you can easily grasp what's going on without the confusion that comes with trying to find out about the first 3 acts in 10 minutes.

Jazzy Waffles eh it's fine I understood it after I'd watched it a phew times :T

MultiredRB The funny part is, I slightly sped up the audio for the second part (to about 110 or 120% I think). So thanks for the idea!

Rice Waffle Haha no problem :P

> That moment when a video is almost the perfect length so you slightly speed it up or slow it down by like 2% to make it perfect

Perfection

As a post-modern fan, I welcome you back to the fandom once again. You can run from the homestuck as much as you want, surely. But once it gets you, you will have no chance of fighting it

SAME

Same. It ain't good

Yup! Even funnier, this was mostly on accident. I think I added or removed around a second of video back when I made this to make the arc number, but when I originally finished the video file, it was already almost perfect, haha.

@@JazzyWaffles lol

It amuses me to see people perplexed by the early acts of Homestuck, back when things were simple.

Jazzy Waffles back when it was just a nerd going around his house in a disquse

@@thethunderdrone7256 he was just trying to get the mail

I am on act 3 I will update you on my reading Ok I am on act 5 and I love the trolls already

@@hopelessamaturerougeofhope4399 Yeah, Act 5 is where the story really starts to pick up, especially when the character introductions are out of the way, post Act 5 act 1.

Welcome to Homestuck, where the rules are made up and reality doesn't matter!

I was once tempted to do Homestuck Summarized in 10 Minutes Or Less as an April Fools video, but the concept fell through in the planning stage when I accidentally wrote an hour-long script.

This is a summary explained at an accelerated pace. This video alone covers around 1000-2000 pages.

Comment love 2 years later because I'm digging that Awful Hospital icon. Bogleech does need stuff.

Thanks, haha, I get the John comment a lot.

Homestuck is Undertale's older brother that is much less popular, and much, much longer and much, much more confusing. The guy who composed about 1/4 of the music for Homestuck was the guy who made Undertale.

Wow really? I could have never knew! How else did I hear about Homestuck!? Sarcasm is my friend.

According to RU-vid, you JUST commented this... again. WTF XD

what's undertale? a rip-off of homestuck?

why

Homestuck tends to be incredibly confusing to most "normal" people (and it's even MORE confusing for people who don't listen to me when I tell them not to use my summaries as substitutes for the actual story, lol).

@@skilerketchum6633 Too complicated. Have been reading the webcomic for like 2 months now. Still confused.

@@JazzyWaffles I honestly wouldn't consider myself "normal", but that's fair.

Hiveswap, Friendsim, and (eventually) Hauntswitch are all games set in Homestuck's universe. Homestuck ran from 2009-2017, with an epilogue hitting recently in 2019. Hiveswap, Hiveswap: Friendsim, and Hauntswitch all came from a 2012(?) Kickstarter to make a game set in the same universe.

kiwicoolgirl aj it is xD

It sort of is, albeit it hasn't been adapted into comic form for quite a while, the books are super lagging behind the comic considering the comic is basically over.

Wait for the VIZ media book adaptations, and you’ll be getting Acts 1-4

@@Stressfullyweird If there are people who read books by looking at the cliffnotes I can't stop them lol, but agreed

G+ is terrible I honestly considered doing that as an April Fool's video this year but I was too busy with life and my other videos.

Honestly same

it is?--

It was the fourth story hosted on mspaintadventures.com, so uhhhhh

bruh im joking

Yes! I have scripts for A6A1 through A7 almost ready, and am aiming for a 11/11 release date with the first A6 video.

Rice Waffle I see what you did there!

ok i'm excited. Well for A6A6A6 and A7 you could just probably link the flashes in the A6A6A5/A6A6I5 video.

Thinking of doing a breakdown for A6A6A6, actually, since there's a lot of blink-and-you-miss-it content there. Act 7, the Credits, the Snapd8s, and the Epilogue will likely get their own, 13th video.

Rice Waffle woo! cant wait!

This is a recap of hundreds of pages of material. Go read the actual comic.

@@JazzyWaffles I have read the comic (roughly 10 hours of it) but found myself very fucking confused. That's how I ended up here :) seeking answers or even a basic understanding of what I had experienced. And alas, i'm still fucking confused

Haha I get that a lot

Wait I start to understand a lil
