Re: (Jade and Rose: Explain everything.) [HS^2 UP8]

the epilogues slightly foreshadowed yiffy with a conversation between jade and jake wherein she mentions asking rose about being a surrogate, but there's literally no other foreshadowing of it. that being said i absolutely loved this update and i'm not really sure why. shit's finally happening and ...

Re: Carapaces Are People Too

unrelated to the conversation at hand but i'm rereading the epilogues and i thought this would be a good excerpt to post KARKAT: I MEAN, I DON’T CLAIM TO BE AN EXPERT ON XENOPSYCHOLOGY, BUT FOR SOME REASON I STRUGGLE TO IMAGINE A FUCKING SALAMANDER GETTING THE GUMPTION TO THROW HIS CRUMPLED HAT INTO...

Re: Carapaces Are People Too

The concept of people in-story treating other people also in the story as less human and less real than THEY, PERSONALLY consider THEMSELVES to be reflects very poorly on the characters. It makes them come off as callous, egocentric, and inherently selfish beings who couldn't conceive of another pe...

It's a really inspiring little subplot, and one that I was engaging with a lot as a first time, serial reader. He's pretty cool, you know? there was definitely a lot of wasted potential for his exposition. it's reasonable to assume that he spends most of his introduction doing frivolous things in t...

Re: Unpopular Opinions Thread

OR, Even more interestingly, Beforus trolls had an ancient society that was plagued with violence in some way, until that Feferi came along and changed how it works. However, the tradition of the Quadrants was such a big part of culture that it stuck around. That's a headcanon though. it is pure co...

Either troll romance is something only trolls can feel or it's unhealthy, because the whole system is blatantly designed to deal with a highly violent and mistrustful society.
wasn't it present on beforus, a comparably peaceful civilization, before it was present on alternia?

Re: How Has Homestuck Changed How You Interact With General Media?

in my opinion one of homestuck's greatest strengths is how it bridges several different types of media (flash games, visual art, literature, animation), which completely blew my mind when i was first getting into it because i didn't exactly realize that that was a thing you could do with art, haha. ...

so you can witness damage of civilization in abstracter, less mitigable forms, such as climate change and corporate takeover :chummy: :chummy: :chummy:

Re: Homestuck^2 Chapter 8: A Daughter Astray

Rose and Kanaya were definitely the weakest primary characters in this update, or at least they had the weakest dialogue. The exposition dumps which so plagued Dirk and Meat!Rose have infiltrated their speech as well. Their scene feels more like a first draft than a finished product, and other than...

Re: Homestuck^2 Chapter 8: A Daughter Astray

i like how we're beginning to see some of john in harry. and tavros in a somewhat significant interaction (god i hope he does important things later lol).

i agree about rose's hair though, and she seemed a little bit out of character from the few pages of her that we got.

No idea about the class though.

Re: what is y'all's opinion on the first 2 acts of homestuck in comparison to the rest

it's difficult to impartially evaluate them, as i've been familiar with homestuck for so long now and i can't imagine what the experience of reading them would be like if i had no other knowledge of the story, but i feel that they're very sound as an introduction. john and rose's early interactions ...
