Re: Doc Scratch was the best villain

The way Doc Scratch talks about his subservience to his Master feels like some elaborate BDSM roleplay. (I wouldn't call his devotion platonic even if it's asexual) He may find pleasure in topping from the bottom but that doesn't change that his man ain't shit. He's fun and tragic. Ain't that someth...

Re: Trans Reveals and Gender Parity

if you want symmetry for assigned sex, it doesn't matter whether prospit or derse have an equal number or not. (see calliope and caliborn. yeah i know they don't actually have sexes, but it's introduced to us as if they do so ok) characters we now know are trans that were introduced as their preferr...

Re: Should canon be dencetralized and what is canon?

The terminals seem to be able to change the canon and manipulate characters in ways similar to the narrator powers Dirk and Alt-Calliope has. To me, this means there's a connection betweem the two, whether intentional or not. To you, it's "beam messages into brain computer magic." Both are valid wa...

This isn't a government. It's intellectual property, and afaik nobody is getting sued for having patreons. How is other people owning intellectual property restricting you in any way? Give a reason that isn't about hypocrisy.

Re: Should canon be dencetralized and what is canon?

then what the hell is being suggested in the first place A rejection of canon as something defined by a singular source. I don't see what that's got to do with what gets hosted where. You need a singular source to tell you that it's not defined by a singular source? Get out. I think the general aud...

Re: Should canon be dencetralized and what is canon?

I think of it as a digital boardroom meeting, so they have to pitch ideas at each other before they can write the thing they want to write. Even if it's not overseen directly by Hussie all the time, I think it's safe enough to say that there aren't any writers going completely rogue.

I like how John said that he wasn't being abused by his father even though literally nobody asked. It's a little forced, honestly, but I'm looking forward to seeing that pay off.

Re: Should canon be dencetralized and what is canon?

Although this voting system usually works for the SCP Foundation, having Homestuck operate according to similar popularity rules would conflict with a desire to amplify minority voices. But it only has to be like that because the SCP Foundation has a centralised hosting site. No one's suggesting th...

Re: Should canon be dencetralized and what is canon?

He's scared of having a dialogue, and he's scared of dying, and yet he is suicidal. I think, contrary to what Dirk expects, the awakening of the narrative powers of others will lead to other narrators convincing him to "not commit die," as the kids say. I mean, I think it'd be super fucked up and ou...

Re: Should canon be dencetralized and what is canon?

teh fact that it isnt decentralized contradicts with the whole epilogues thematic, imo, so i think that they should decentralize it. The idea I got from the epilogues is that we shouldn't try to silence other people's perspectives but add our own. Because Dirk wanting total control over the narrati...

Re: Should canon be dencetralized and what is canon?

I think Hussie is just a liar. You do get to choose what you "believe" to be canon, but no more than with any other story. Or, to put it another way, literally any story is up to interpretation, not just the ones that point this out. I think he just wants the people who dislike the direction the dub...

Re: Why is t b h being replaced by desu

by the way, although hsg from 4chan was alright, the one on 8chan is cursed with too much drama, because that's just how 8chan is. that's my stance.

Re: Rose has the easiest to understand arc of all the Homestuck characters

I don't watch Star Wars so I'm kind of lost on what you mean by Empire. The reason Rose consorts with Doc Scratch is because she prefers devil-like figures. Me too???? That's why I'm always advocating the devil, and by advocating the devil I mean dishing out bad takes. This is called self-advocacy. ...
