Homestuck.XYZ 2.0

Just to throw my two cents in here: I really, really wish so much of the Vriscourse didn't revolve around trying to figure out if she's a Good or Bad person, because that is, just. Easily the least interesting and usually least productive way to analyze her. Vriska is a fascinating character, but s...

I'm doing a bit of Pesterchum rping in a memo right now, and this just happened during a mission debriefing.

-- CURRENT Vriska [CVV] grins wickedly at him --
CVV: Sollux do you value your life?
CSC: not partiicularly.

God you're so right.

A big take that I have is that every HS character needed to implement therapy on Earth C if it didn't already exist and needed to go to therapy. Let them go for free. They're gods and gods need therapy.

John is just an extremely valid and good human being.

I could go on and on about how much I love Terezi she is just absolutely amazing and deserves to be loved and be happy and the fact that she isn't getting that STILL makes me UPSET please let her rest she needs therapy so bad

No problem!
I think it's a discussion worth having

Y'all I think this is an interesting discussion but to make it not clog up this thread how about we go here?

Made this thread so people can discuss Jane controversy and discourse that happened in the epilogues.

They don't have that on Earth C though, as far as I'm aware. Because it's Earth C. So arguably they wouldn't reproduce as much.

Unless you mean in regards to Alternia in which case yes

I think something to keep in mind about the update speed is the fact that there is way more going on behind the scenes and they are not making each update each month. Also that the money is supporting the creators and not directly going to just the updates being made. Aaand also that these people ha...

If the chapter marker at the beginning is anything to go by it could be very possible.

It's also very possible that as Homestuck^2 continues we will get larger updates. Or updates may change size depending on what batch of panels best works together as a whole update. Although I understand that it's disappointing. Personally I'm okay with it because there's so much Homestuck content r...

Jane doesn't look super different either. I think it's also in part due to the minimalist cartoony style and the fact that it's not like Dirk's grown a mustache or something. But there are definitely other arguable ways to show aging.

This is an interesting point. I wonder how much of it is tied also to his classpect and not just the retcon powers. After all, before the retcon powers John always had a knack for getting people to go along with him. He inspires change and action in others. EDIT: perhaps it's why metanarratively spe...

I may dislike and take offense to Vriska personally, but that doesn't mean she's a bad character. She's a wonderful villainous force and I rooted for her to be taken down. Alas, that wound up getting undone in the Retcon, so fuck it. I'm curious about something that I thought of because you mention...

This is definitely something I agree with. I think the nastiness that Vriska has should not be undermined. The stuff she did to Tavros for no reason other than she could was vindictive and cruel. It's definitely important to realize people can like characters without believing their actions are good...

If you follow a determinist's view of Homestuck, then you'll see a very clear distinction between your own view and the view of those who dislike the retcon: these characters have not LOST their character evolution, they have just evolved DIFFERENTLY. Because, when you change the initial conditions...

But instead of starting from that point we jump forward again and miss a lot of crucial character moments, which displaces us worst than Davesprite by a significant amount! It would be like if Davesprite hopped backwards, 'fixed' something, and then suddenly was on the 3 year ship with Jade being p...

As much as I unabashedly love Vriska despite her being horrible a lot of the time I definitely think showing how she managed to actually "fix" everything would be... Like. Nice. Instead of this assumed fix-all. I mean, I pretty much have guesses of approximately what happened that changed the timeli...
