I think I figured out what I love so much about this current crop of Homestuck fan content

It is, by in large, a response to Homestuck. Not the fandom or individual parts of the work like beloved characters or unpopular plot points, but towards Homestuck itself, the hypertext webcomic that ran from 2009 to 2016 (with maybe an additional piece in 2019 depending on which way you slice it) that is for better or for worse a complete finished work. The decisions it made, the styles it took on, and the concepts behind it are well known and well-studied to such an extent that the value in pure replication for its own sake is almost zilch. And then what you're left with is a set of Homestuck shadows, these stories that in one way or another all emerge from the crop of Homestuck going "okay that was cool so what next", and the shape that "what next" takes feels much more deliberate and intentional than what came before it

Like, I adore The Locked Tomb quite a lot, but it is much more like an outcropping of where Homestuck fandom was at in 2012 and as such it's more of a snippet of Homestuck torn out and mixed together with a lot of other influences to create a work that is closer to how Homestuck felt when it was running than how it actually was. And to be clear I don't see this as a fault of TLT, quite frankly as an original work it is much stronger for its willingness to run out on a limb and be its own thing even if its influences still run clear and deep.

I really like calling Vast Error "Shin Hivebent", in the vein of Hideaki Anno's Shin Godzilla and Shin Evangelion (aka the Rebuild films), as a sort of Fresh Start on the concepts of Hivebent. Taking all the same motivations and narrative beats of the original but applying contemporary techniques and ideas (plus lessons learned from the original production) to the text, then letting new themes and reflections emerge naturally from the changes made.

You take the formula everybody knows, you apply a decade of hindsight and cultural change, then you watch and see how the work blossoms into something completely new, and study what that newness says about the original work's lasting cultural legacy.

While not every work takes the same rigorous "it's like Homestuck again guys!!!" approach of Sburb.exe and Home-skillet, I do think this entire current wave is very much in the vein of "Shin Homestuck", this fresh reimagining of Homestuck's core themes and ideas that serves both as an argument for why Homestuck is such an enduring work and an exploration of how Homestuck's ideas and themes might apply to a new generation.

Like I said, I originally thought this of Vast Error, and later on Sburb.exe became the main culprit, but I think Home-skillet stands apart in how it is clearly doing as much as it can to align itself with Homestuck's implicit structure and not just its explicit ones- Fred Ana and Neil all serve as immediate analogs of John Rose and Dave, but there's something different here- they're more childlike, a lot more straightforward and dopey than the (intentionally or unintentionally) witty internet heroes of yesteryear.

The closeness hewed to the template makes the divergences all the more interesting and while for a while I felt like this was just kind of pointless nostalgic wank I think the EOT2 flash is such a good statement for how this quieter approach can really set up these more plodding contemplative beats. Not much is happening there aren't huge shocking reveals, we know how the story goes anyways, so our eye gets drawn more to the softness, the little reunions and quiet uncertainties.

There's just something so *cool* about seeing the ways this whole fanventure scene keeps splitting and morphing, diving into a lot of the current big fanventures just keeps giving me this newfound energy to rant so many loud and public words about art and media ART IS SO COOL YOU GUYS FUCK
