I really liked the retcon stuff, at least as a storytelling device. This is a story about telling stories and a story about time-travel. It's a story about a game where you can only win by cheating. As a narrative move, as a thematic move, yeah, your mileage may vary, but as a metanarrative move? A+. Homestuck is not Hussie telling a story about a bunch of kids. Homestuck is Hussie telling a story about Hussie telling a story about a bunch of kids, and Hussie is cheating.
the issue is solved yes sorry, im not being very clear am i whoops its kinda late here, i should go to sleep soon
@Exohedron THIS is why I have so few problems with Homestuck's narrative arc. thank you for summing it up. :D
Spoiler: pretty sure everyone else is more caught up than me, but still oh noooooo if john stopped vriska from dying, that means her ghost is gonna disappear, right after she kissed meenah hussie cant let any ships be happy and unproblematic, can he
I love Terezi so much. I was rereading the last bits where she speaks and... I love that girl so much.
I almost said "counterpoint: sollux/aradia" but then I remembered that he was mind-controlled into killing her and remembered that that's not actually happy. OOPS
*thinks again about how the dancestors watched what happened on alternia* *thinks about the awkward time of porrim watching her ex's alternate universe self abuse her alternate universe self*
