to be fair i think the reasons why i believe quadrants r fake versus why i believe classpects r fake are pretty crucially different. like homestuck kind of goes out of its way to trick you into thinking classpects could be real whereas i genuinely dont think hussie ever expected anyone to read about moirallegience and think wow... so romantic.. i want that in my life ❤ LOL

#i saw oomf today mention the difference between 'quadrants as they serve the narrative' and 'quadrants as they serve the fans'#which i thought was interesting because obviously the way classpects captivated the audience was actually very similar...#i guess homestuck is not unique in this regard like. steven universe has its gems #rpg classes in general kind of permeate the popular culture because they serve this exact purpose #but i have to wonder how much of it is because homestuck is a story about telling stories #and therefore just has all these fucking worldbuilding tools lying around. ofc people are going to scavenge that shit #man this is probably why so many people see homestuck as a wreck that needs their 'fixing' too #like i know. again. this is not an affliction that belongs to homestuck alone #but i think it's easy for some readers to get lost in all the interesting worldbuilding without realising that the worldbuilding is there #in order to make a comment ON WORLDBUILDING ITSELF #</rant>
