Due to personal reasons I will be ignoring canon completely and creating my own au
sir this is my emotional support canon divergence
here’s my big take on the homestuck epilogue: it’s harsh. it’s frequently and deliberately upsetting. homestuck for a long time to me felt like an elaborate self-harm ritual, a work antagonistic to both author and audience. that’s been dialed up in the epilogues, and it shows.
you might enjoy just reading the prologue, but as someone who actually can stomach what’s in the epilogues proper, i can’t in good conscience recommend them. i definitely don’t think that i would have started reading them if i’d known how bad they’d get.
if you’re really really curious, please just ask someone for the bullet points. you’ll thank me once you hear them.
I would like to apologize for and recant any good faith I offered to the Homestuck epilogue.
If you have not read it, I am begging you. Please talk to someone who has and get a lowdown. It’s upsetting. It’s vicious. It does fun monkey’s paw bullshit like “your fave is trans! oh but your other fave is now a transphobe!” It’s more intensely reader aggressive than anything we’ve ever seen in Homestuck before.
I am left with just two questions: Who is this for? What is the point?
Because from where I am sitting, looking at my entire friendgroup who is upset and personally hurt and several who resorted to crying or to fucking drinking away this bullshit,
the only conclusion that currently makes sense to me is a purposeful attempt to nuke the fandom and make everyone turn on Homestuck.
I have a saying I repeat a lot. “All stories are for someone, but not every story is for everyone.” I don’t know who this story is for, but I know that it’s not for us. And there is a deep abiding sadness to having something that was important to you, maybe even helped shape who you are, and see that thing turn on you with claws.
But in my opinion, the epilogue is not for us. Do not hurt yourselves, do not force yourselves to read it out of some sense of obligation to an old love.
This is not that thing anymore.
Take care of yourselves.
Very Good Trope: Civillian is told “ stay in the car” while hero goes to confront villain. Hero gets in over head and all seems disaster. Civillian crashes car into villain.
Me, watching: ohhohoho! But they stayed in the car! Yesss, this is very good!
I’ve finally found some time to animate my Alphonse piece from some time ago. Hope you guys like it!
