Well obviously that isn't the case. The set up here is that the Reader, as a character, will without question return to Alternia in time. We don't know what is gonna send him after the alpha kids but Alternia is immensely important to him. For the friend he believes lost an the new ones made, he wants Alternia to be better.Dream Muttman wrote: ↑Thu Jan 16, 2020 9:25 amPart of the backlash is that these are the last of the Alternian trolls. Chances are we're not going back to Alternia after this. People might have been performing the proprietary Homestuck maneuver of pushing expectations further ahead on the serial timeline and only realizing they're not getting what they expected by the end. It's just how brains work, I think.
Expectations are good, though. Don't misinterpret what I'm saying as the equivalent of other people calling you 'entitled' or whatever. What's the point of praising things that don't live up to expectations? I haven't read anything unrealistic in this thread. It really does make sense that Eridan and Feferi should have been used to expound on seadwellers, for example.
I expect a 'but Hiveswap' response to this, to which I say 'it's not the same Alternia impacting the same characters'.
There is also the issue of him literally fucking up the entirety of reality and likely Paradox space needs to respond to this. And then the reader has to respond to the response.
though if you mean we won't explore much more of alternia, yea that's fair. But i imagine very, very little has changed on alternia.
