Homestuck.XYZ 2.0

I never quite understood the liking of Tagora, where does it come from? Explain, tutor me, educate me on the knowledge of Tagora love people. :professor: I like characters who think they're better than other people, especially if they crumble in the presence of another person who's better than them...

1. Is canon necessary? If canon is just events that actually happened within a story, yeah, I'm not sure you can have a story without that. You need some sort of groundwork. But canon as a single authoritative series of events or characterizations isn't necessary and not even really a concept that m...

Nah its a gateway drug, Hiveswap. I know cause, I literally got gatewayed by it. I was so curious about what all was happening i just had to read it. To some regret admitably, it was a lot to take in. Basically hiveswap doesn't need to end with Joey shoving a flashlight up Dirk's bum, it just needs...

I don't really think trans characters need to be justified, nor do I think there needs to be one true reason for John's feelings of disconnect. It can be retcon powers and gender incongruence. Saying "this development has trans parallels" doesn't mean "this development should exclusively be interpre...

i would pay tagora to push me in front of a scuttlebuggy

My theory is that dirk or someone else with narrative type powers is behind Hiveswap and the friendsims. If they are making Hiveswap with the whole idea of those three pillars from the Epilogues in mind, which is possible considering peeps who worked on the epilogues are working on hiveswap too, th...

I caught up to Homestuck after Act 6 had ended and was around to see the illustrations leading up to Act 7 (and Act 7 itself). Rereading the comic has changed my impression a bit, but I don't think anything has influenced it as much as now that new content has been released -- now that I am followin...

I'm not a big classpector but I think Knights use their aspect as a tool, and Rage is.. Rage. I think Rage works well as a means to an end -- a reason and a way to plow forward, often but not always hand-in-hand with destruction. A Knight of Rage might use some manifestation of Rage to further their...

Probably Tagora, he's cute and just villainous enough. I'll be surprised if he has a particularly big role in Hiveswap proper, but if not he'll be a great minor character. He's got enough going for him to be consistently entertaining in different situations even without much screen time. Really love...

HS^2 carries with it the issues of the Epilogues, which I'm not particularly fond of, so right off the bat I'm a bit uneasy about it. I think I'm also a little bummed out about the sheer amount of context-dependent content we're getting. As in, Homestuck itself is already ridiculously long and can b...

my friend, during their reread, is now noticing for the first time some of Homestuck's more obvious sex jokes. I'm now noticing some of the obvious meta jokes. I missed stuff like "The Medium" the first times around.

strong agree about Equius. I'm thrilled with his route (and, not an issue of character, but I don't think his sprites could have been more perfect). Lalo did a fantastic job of adding to him without making him feel any less like Equius. more than i could have asked for for someone who was mostly a j...
