It's weird, I enjoyed the epilogue but going back to collide and act 7 leaves a sour taste in my mouth, considering how all the struggles and conclusions they portray pay off.

It's nice that at least the characters of the epilogues themselves share their audience's restlessness and weariness, as too probably does the original author. Homestuck is the story of being run collectively into the ground but not being able to walk away. I still wanna know what happened to the iterations of Jake, Dirk, Roxy and Jane that John retcon'd over to fight Caliborn with, considering they survived the battle and were with the Icon after it was loaded. The Beta kids John brought along all died pretty gruesomely battling Lord English, but there's no clear explanation for the other four.

It terrifies me to suggest the prospect, but what is the likelihood of a Homestuck 2? Hussie seemed done with the whole thingyears ago, and I personally would love to see him dedicate his time to new project less loaded with expectations, yet so much of the epilogue seems to point to a continuation of the existing story.

If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. Either way, I'm good.

Oh God drat it, I just realized something: The one chapter in meat where Caliborn shows up is chapter 8. loving 8. I have no idea if that means anything, but it feels like it should? Maybe? I hate how this stupid comic/mock fan fiction/whatever has so many things that could end up being clues, but could also just be pointless bullshit and it serves me right for trying to figure any of this stuff out.

Digamma-F-Wau posted:Maybe if we get an epilogue follow up or Homestuck 2 we'll find out, and even get that version of Dirk vs evil Dirk I think it's an interesting part of the whole "Ultimate Self" idea that it doesn't necessarily represent what most people might think of as someone's "best self", just perhaps their most aggregate "true self" - their most consistent characterization across all instances. Dirk more than anyone has been characterized by his divisions and spinoffs, and the idea that it's possible for Dirk to overcome his abusive tendencies, just unlikely, is kind of a novel way to think of a character. Hell, the theories surrounding Rose and Roxy working together to split the timeline as a long-con to defeat Dirk would be an extremely clever meta-maneuver, that takes into account Rose's own impending Ultimate-ness as something to plan around and manipulate. The story is so committed to engaging with its metanarrative elements and the characters being active players in the writing of events that they can even leverage the idea of their idealized selves.

I'm not really paying attention to things anymore, but if you liked Alternia this semi-new canmt solo album succeeds at the aesthetic quite well imo: https://coolandnewwebcomic.bandcamp.com/album/haroldbound A very "early Toby" sound to it.

You know, with the Epilogues, all the existing Roxy fanwork retroactively became Rule 63. Edit: Roxy also manages the epic combo fo being bost best girl and best boy.

Someone brought up a disturbing implication to me recently: The text says that mature cherubs (which have consumed and integrated their other selves) will, by instinct, seek out a mate that is similar in personality to their lost other-self. They will then begin a new struggle for domination. Alt-Calliope is an adult cherub who went through the natural maturation process. Dirk shares a lot in common with Caliborn. They have a fight over control of the narrative.

Alt-Calliope doesn’t have wings so I assume like Caliborn her development was an aberration. Probably in self-defense given her brother’s plans.

Bobulus posted:Someone brought up a disturbing implication to me recently: Yeah, it's pretty obvious that alt-Calliope is horny as hell for Dirk and he's too oblivious and gay to notice. Also, I think Tavros might have become an ultimate self and turned evil. The epilogue makes a lot of references to The Complacency of the Learned, the novel Rose wrote. In it there are Twelve disciples, whom Rose thinks represent the Twelve players who came through the door at the end of the game. Except, there weren't twelve players who came through there were thirteen: Gcatavrosprite managed to sneak his way into the snapchat final credits thus canonically making Tavros the group's equivalent of Calmasis, the thirteenth and most powerful of the group of young wizards. Presumably sometime during his seven years on Earth C Tavros unlocked his hidden potential, turned evil and/or crazy, and ascended back into the realm of canon and has been lurking out there waiting for the other Twelve to also turn crazy and/or evil so they can help him gently caress poo poo up. And as for why no one remembers that one time the blue ghost cat that Jake and Dirk were roommates with gained unlimited power and escaped the bonds of reality: Rose also mentioned an unraveling or forgetting that can happen over time in the realm of the noncanonical, so apparently after it happened everyone just sort of blocked it out. If the story ever continues I want this theory to be true mostly because the idea of Dirk, after all of his babbling about being the perfect puppet master and ultimate engineer, stepping out onto that class-m planet in his anime pajamas and immediately getting his rear end kicked by Grimdork Tavros who then proceeds to take over the role of primary antagonist and biggest bad is hilarious. It's also the most humiliating thing that could possibly happen to Dirk, and at this point anything that makes Dirk sad is very good thing indeed.

Man, just... gently caress Dirk. Now I remember all over again how bad he was. Everyone rightly pointed out so many bad things about him, but the saddest poo poo to me in the Meat storyline is when he narratively manipulates Kanaya into giving up on Rose.

Here's a very interesting analysis of Dirk from some one who's read more Milton than I have.quote:The parallel part for Dirk covers the sad inevitability of his conflict, which is a point Satan's going to make as well. Free Will is a central question here. For Dirk, free will is both the factor that necessitates his intervention, and the force that makes his villainy inevitable. "If reality and those within it were already so intrinsically pliable, so amenable to deviating from their own nature," Dirk expounds, "the sins of men and faults of God would have no rigidity or resilience. There’d be no challenge in forcing their correction." I mean, that's a pretty hosed up way to talk about screwing around in the brains of your friends, but Dirk's pretty far gone at this point.

While I like this at a glance, it bothers me whenever people say that Milton "was of the party of the devil". He wasn't - that is a quote from William Blake, and it reflects his own interpretation of the work. Milton was super Christian. If you actually read Paradise Lost, Satan's not a sympathetic guy. He fucks his own daughter within the first, like, fifty pages.* *Now that I think of it, it's extremely remiss of this analysis that it doesn't draw a parallel between this and Dirk's creepy treatment of Rose in Meat.

So, he wouldn't be able to turn into a person as a disguise or to spy on people, and if he can't do that then what's even the point? Also, let's be honest, being an eagle or a tiger is way more fun.
