#homestuck epilogues

[5-htreuptakeinhibitor]

i dunno man i get disliking the epilogues and their subsequent narrative threads as pleasurable reading experiences but rather than appearing Only as a horrible terrible way for our beloved characters to develop but also um the heartbreak of that particular sight speaks to me. i dont know if it just has to do with my own experiences but while ive never had a friend turn into a fascist with political power i have seen people i care about develop in maladaptive and malignant ways. and ive seen people ive known since middle school turn into toxic and hurtful people. and ive seen my friends struggle with their relationships and expectations. ive seen friends become people i used to call friends, and ive seen them develop addictions. i have known people as a child and found out they died. i havent had a friend cuck her husbabydaddy with a clown but ive seen people change into people i cant call a friend anymore, and aside from the narrative commentary on having your OCs and brain baby mutilated and twisted by those who feel entitled to it, i think the heartbreak of seeing friends change in ways that were avoidable is what makes the epilogues hit for me. its not meant to be happy and gratifying, it is straight up horror.

in the meat timeline, they lost the embodiment of breath, the aspect of freedom, thus the narrative binds them to the narrators wishes, twisting them to his desires

in the candy timeline, they lost the embodiment of heart, the aspect of the soul. they lose their sense of self, becoming more and more detached from who they are as a person

Have you ever read the epilogues or hs^2?

i have not read hs2!! i read the epilogues when they first released. they mostly didn't tickle my fancy (i like the art/visual storytelling nature of original homestuck), but i think they had some cute moments, case in point:

Dirk Striders punishment for being mildly irritating sometimes in the comic is to be subject to the distortion of his identity in the Epilogues no other can comprehend. To simply only find himself as a parody of himself… To have his greatest fears for himself be shown as his deepest motivations… or maybe to be drawn sexy-style by some twitter artist with the caption “why he tits so big”.
