Well, as I always say, there are two sides to everything. Since I am on the subject of internet comics, I might as well take the time to kick out another one of these assignments by writing about Homestuck AGAIN! Only this time, I won't hate as much and give light to the positive aspects of this widely known internet comic.
The first I would like to touch upon is the music. The way this guy gets music is similar to crowd funding, he takes music that others submit and he uses them in the animations he makes. One of my personal favorites is the song "Cascade" which plays for the ending of the fifth act, where Homestuck took that "little break" as aforementioned in my previous blog post. Anyway, I will post some links to some good music that this guy put into this comic, I just love that kind of techno-yet-traditional feel to some of the songs. It's hard to explain but, the music is one of the few things I respect in the category of Homestuck.
The other positive aspect I would like to touch upon is the insane amount of character development. As mentioned before, the plot progresses very, very slowly which gives the author time to screw around with the characters and develop their personalities more. This also gets the reader more attached to the characters and they find the characters easier to relate to. Now, the author is a sadistic madman in doing so because he loves to kill off the characters the fans are most attached to. Now, you may think that is a bad thing, and it is but, I never really minded losing my favorite character because I pretty much stopped reading after she dies. Don't ask me how that makes any sense.
Anyways, this should help to balance out the love and the hate... well most of the hate. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Hm...that's an interesting concept, allowing others to suggest music to go along with your art.
