hiiiii beloved stupidusernamepolicy!! thank you for your kind words hehe<3 im sooo glad that you are johndavekatpilled as well i feel insane about them. anyway here is a speedy doodle for you. enjoy ^^
#hamsterask#they look like a boyband here oops#my most delusional johndavekat thought is that the jade/dave/karkat situationship in the epilogues should have been johndavekat#i cant elaborate well but thats how deep i am#i am not a homestuck scholar though i am far from it#so for now i will just make vague cute art of them lmao#also i will not read the epilogues again ever so im just shrug emoji they can have casual homosexual relations OR have a committed polycule#whatever works i just rrly like their dynamics and the way they talk to each other#OK DONE SORRY

I just remembered I made a fake Homestuck page last night and can't remember exactly why I just thought it would be fun probably, h
still such a shame to me we never got too many good sburb shenanigans in act 6.
#homestuck#jane crocker#dirk strider#drew dirk's icon cus his canon one is really boring ngl#i've had random thoughts as of late about a hypothetical of if Homestuck ended at Cascade and how the rest of it could have been cool as -#- a weird epilogue in the form of multiple vignettes of the new timeline that's far more prepared for the game

Dirk is hyper self controlling because he doesn't want anyone to see the "real" him, how "bad" of a person he is, so he keeps his social interactions on lockdown. Hal is antagonistic and controlling to all his friends because he is clinging onto that last shred of what makes him a "real" Dirk.
#thought about this because of that one post saying the epilogues are dirk's friendfiction#and i was thinking thats more of a hal type of thing to do#anyways#homestuck#dirk strider#lil hal#sprink's posts

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.

some more about the 'hbo's homestuck/cw's homestuck' au bc I can't stop thinking about it:
the cast of HBO's Homestuck are actually getting along pretty well! Mostly because the director went out of his way to cast actual 13-year-olds/6-sweep-olds. Mild Controversy Ensues
it's so important to me that HBO Karkat and HBO John's actors are besties. there's a half hour of outtakes uploaded to youtube where they're trying to get through the ATTENTION WORTHLESS HUMAN speech and HBO Karkat keeps giggling too much and breaking character.
(in an interview, HBO Karkat's actor, 6 sweep year old violet blood Risnel Aquinn, reveals that he doesn't have gills or properly formed fins, making him a seadweller who can't live as a seadweller. He talks about how important playing Karkat feels to him- how much his story inspired him, and how much he just hopes he's doing his favorite God justice as a mutant himself.)
meanwhile I cannot stress enough how much the cast of CW's Homestuck hate each other. Like they are ready to go at each other's throats and not even in a pitch way
CW Rose and CW Kanaya have been sending each other passive aggressive death threats by excusing it as ''method acting'' even though CW Rose got killed off for the seventh time in the 5th episode. Their 'romance' feels utterly loveless, like those cishet women who play lesbians on tv and kiss in the most passionless way possible. CW Kanaya may be conspiring to get Rose written out of the show. The showrunner thinks it's so funny he keeps egging it on.
CW Dave's actor has a Misha Collins-esque scandal where he accidentally comes out as a transman at a con and then two days later walks it back and comes out as a cisgender man. this somehow leads to the actual god of Time Dave revealing he's trans, causing mass chaos.
Ironically, CW Karkat is played by Troll Misha Collins
Nic Cage is there

The implication that Terezi is stronger/immune/indifferent to Dirk's narrative writing/reality-warping powers is interesting. 👀
I am so excited for the new writers to explore her character more.
Hopefully this also means we'll be seeing more classpect & god tier power exploration as well!
#I say 'interesting' in a positive way btw just to clarify#I'm not sure how much is planned to be left of hs2 or how much was even originally planned to be left#but this is certainly something I'd like to see explored more or even more clearly explained in the comic itself#seems like Terezi is also being given a greater narrative purpose too#she's a really cool character so I'm glad to see her in the spotlight#not sure if the hs^2 ppl always had plans for her to play a bigger role but i'm glad we're getting a lot of this now#I wonder what's in that beaten up old wallet or if we've seen it before#maybe it was mentioned in the homestuck epilogues ? not sure#if anyone has any ideas plz let me know; would love to hear your thoughts!#mine#op#homestuck#homestuck^2#upd8#homestuck upd8#homestuck spoilers#terezi pyrope#homestuck terezi#hs terezi#homestuck beyond canon

Idk, I actually thought the epilogues were kinda cool as someone who like's Hometuck for its use of artistic medium. Thought it was cool and parts of it gave us some of Homestuck's best prose (Candy 38).
#idk#i thought it was fun how it played with perspective#and I like'd the way that developed Roxy's character#espececially when juxtaposed with meat!roxy#i thought it was a cool exploration of the character#i also like how it thematically builds on the infinite possibilities in alternate time lines#hs#hs epilogues#homestuck#homestuck epilogue

finished homestuck!! and adding it to my ever growing list of ‘media near-universally labelled as cringe that actually kinda slaps’
#like i won’t lie parts of it? terrible. i can’t even begin to piece together half of the lord english plot#but i think a lot more of it was actually really really good. especially act 4 and act 5 they were my favourite hands down#act 6 not so much. like separately? i loved the alpha kids and the dancestors and the concept of the cherubs was really interesting#but somewhere the execution fell short. it’s gonna annoy me cause i can’t figure out why#i think it might be the retcon. which i didn’t hate as an idea!! but it occurred closer to the end than i thought it would#i feel like if they’d explored the impact of the retcon more it might have flowed better?? idk#idk. act six as a whole i’m split on. i either loved what it did or was massively confused and exasperated by what it did#it’s like half of the comic and i got through it in about a week when it took me like a month to do acts 1-5#and it doesn’t feel like that much happened it’s weird#but yknow. it is the act that sold me on vriska!! like i liked her before but i really liked her ghosting it up in this act#the bit where ghost vriska and ghost terezi found each other nearly had me in tears#vrisrezi as a whole. what a concept. easily one of the best dynamics in the entire thing#i really hope terezi finds vriska post-canon. however i’m not sure if i want to read the epilogues and homestuck 2 or not yet#ooh ooh also!! john fulfilling his quest slapped!! that’s probably one of my favourite bits in homestuck ngl#and omg. did not see davekat coming i won’t lie but i was v happy about it#k ill stop now bc i will end up listing half the characters and my favourite bits about them. and as fun as that would be#i really need to sleep haha#homestuck

This Pride I want us all to take a minute to reflect on those brave but forgotten queer souls who worked on The Epilogues and Homestuck 2 with the goal of seeing Homestuck with queer content 'done right' and fucked it up so much worse than anyone thought humanly possible.
#they fucked up so bad I challenge you to find five fans in 2023 who still consider anything they did canon#even by the incredibly loose standards of Homestuck - a webcomic about how canon as a concept is meaningless#the webcomic whose entire driving philosophy is 'anything can be canon'#'anything can be canon' except very specifically these things which are absolutely not no way in hell#let's take only the elements of The Epilogues that people despised and double-down on them that's a risk that'll pay off#Barty's Brew-Ha-Ha is more a part of Homestuck canon in fandom consciousness than Homestuck 2 and I'm the only person who's ever watched it#Homestuck 2 the DmC: Devil May Cry 2013 of webcomics#who were these souls?#literally impossible to know#for none now live who remember them#homestuck#queer#Pride#coming back to add to the notes here that their very premise was wrong#homestuck in some sense is a journey of a straight cis author into a queer nonbinary persona and I find it faintly...#repugnant that this obvious journey was considered flawed because it didn't meet the standards we thought were iron-clad in 2019#which is why H2 is less that four years old but feels sp dated compared to Homestuck classic#absolute hubris#and frankly kind of awful taht Hussie wasn't thought 'queer enough' to tell a queer story correctly

i’m finally reading the fucking homestuck epilogues and IM SO ANGRY ABOUT THEIR EXISTENCE. some parts?
also uh spoilers for homestuck epilogues MEAT? anyways-
i’m ashamed to admit but a bit funny and good! the piece as a whole as i get further into it? FUCKING SUCKS AND IN NO WAY RESEMBLES THE CHARACTERS INTRODUCED????!?!!!?!! i cannot understand why they made jane into a supervillain fascist while mentioning that she is (but definitely was, not is) extremely kind and empathetic. this. does. not. make. sense. fuck dirk i don’t remember him being this big of a tool?? poor jake he’s just a himbo quit hurting him !!! love dave and karkat. they vibe im enjoying them. john is so depressed please get this boy into therapy and on some anti anxiety/ depression meds. WHY DID THEY DO THIS TO JADE?!!?!!! yes she grew up alone on an island, with little to no reference to social interaction, but she’s not stupid. she’s incredibly smart, i think SOME PART OF HER would’ve picked up that her advances were not reciprocated ?? or understood that 85% or whatever of her advances not being outright rejected did not mean feelings were reciprocated. maybe her doggy senses helped her to smell emotion !! IDFK! maybe she could calculate how many of her advances were being reciprocated!!! so i find it unlikely and in poor taste that she has no issues with adapting socially to some things, but is completely oblivious to others. it’s one thing if she was still and kid and oblivious socially? but she’s an extremely social person that is simultaneously incredibly scientifically minded. she would pick up on things. she would notice when things were off. god i’m upset about her characterization. she’s 23, she’s learned a lot! not just how to sleep around, she’s picked up some social stuff! and i’m fine with that part- if that’s the path they think fits her, then who am i to judge! i think it’s actually interesting in set up! but not how they substituted it for awareness. i think jade could’ve been given idk some cool marceline treatment! except werewolf? cool floaty werewolf chick that plays bass! DONT TELL ME SHE WOULDNT BE MAKING INCREDIBLE ADVANCES IN SCIENCE WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY SLAYING THE STAGE !!!!!
anyways those are mainly my thoughts as of rn; i’m on part 22? i think john being wildly depressed makes sense and has so much weight. i think my boys strugglin. i think jade could be couch surfin and dating around while she tours and studies; no time to keep a fulfilling relationship in between because she’s forced to never be in the same place for too long. i love rose and kanaya, i’m just honestly not sure how to categorize my thoughts on them at this point in the story though. dave and karkat? love you guys you’re making this readable. dirk? choke on a dick. jake? get that dick. jane? stop.
#jeddie talks#homestuck#homestuck epilogues#homestuck epilogues meat#?#jade harley#jake english#john egbert#jane crocker#dave strider#karkat vantas#earth c#dirk strider#my thoughts#man idek#i cant regard these as remotely canon which. ig was design?#but fuck that fr!!!!#they’re my comfort characters and i get to decide what crushing pain is inflicted upon them! i’m going to#i think i’m going to do some designs and ramblings about my proposed earth c dynamics
