still waiting for him to apologize at all lol
Didn't the creator of that LE design kind of use Hussie's designs without actors ting him though??
does that make hussie copying their design ok? I don’t know, I’m not a lawyer. I do, however, want to help facilitate open discussion of the issue, regardless of how I feel about it
So the design for Caliborn’s “self-OC” was actually taken from NakkiStiltz without permission and I’m not sure how I feel about it, considering they haven’t even been active in the MSPA fandom for years and they actually dislike that it’s associated with Caliborn (that is, they feel it’s implying the drawing is bad since Caliborn is a bad artist.)
Mostly I’m confused and not super happy about it because neither I nor my partner in crime Ruka were asked. but I can totally understand why people are congratulating me. this should be a big thing. I’m just not so happy about it because of the circumstances surrounding it.
And yes, I am mad about him using the design without contacting me.
I dunno, it’s kind of a shame since the way it was introduced in the comic was through the context of Caliborn, I.E. a character whose art skills are specifically used to mock bad art in the story. Not to mention the initial lack of consent to use the design, or even any message at all given to me or Ruka (my friend who collaborated with me on this).
this really isn’t the best way to get “internet famous,” at least in my mind.I’m hoping Hussie makes amends, but right now I’m sympathizing with NakkiStiltz.
I’m not totally sure what to say/think about this but I don’t want it sitting around unpublished in the inbox any longer so, uh

Or maybe, since Halloween is coming up, I should call it The Itinerscary. Especially because we may be in store for some spoooooky server crashes with these first few update dumps. Eep, I’m gettin the willies here!
One page today to test the waters (or uh, yesterday). When that’s done and the coast is clear (it won’t be), I’ll post a bunch of pages on the 17th and 18th (oops, now the 18th and 19th). Then there will be nothing until 10/25. And then nothing until 11/1, at which point regular updates will begin again, according to an update schedule which I will share with you on that day. Then you will know which precise pattern of dates you will need to handcuff yourself to a computer and plug in your custom keyboard that only has a single giant F5 key.
It would seem against my better judgment, or really my ability to control in any way whatsoever, a fair amount of hype has been brewing for the return of Homestuck. People are jacked up. They are doing little dances in places they cannot be seen. They are writhing in kiddie pools of pins and needles for the return of all their favorite fantasy children. “John.” “Karkat.” And more. So it’s hard to avoid finding it just a LITTLE funny that after a year-long drought, hopping back in the saddle means we will have to wade through 50 pages of completely atrocious garbage before anything happens. It’s funny how life works out sometimes. Funnier than a clown tickling a horse. Sometimes you pause your famous webcomic for a year, and then your grand reopening is a lot of bad anime. On such occasions, when life hands you those kooky lemons, there is really only one thing you can say.
Fuck lemonade. These lemons are incredible.
The update is officially back on site, with the proper Caliborn site theme now, and it appears to be completely stable.
Welcome back, everyone. (Again.)
And thank you very much to Hussie and his team for buckling down and getting those server issues solved today.
i can't seem to find the update. was the link removed or something?
yes, the update was taken down again
ACT 6 ACT 6 ACT 3
WELCOME BACK.
For all of you who are sad that the server just crashed, here is the one and only page that got posted with the update. Enjoy.
Friendly reminder that all of the sprites from the recent homestuck update have already been ripped before, here.
oh yeah, thanks for the reminder!
