For how much time, energy, effort, and enthusiasm I put into Homestuck it is phenomenal how quickly it left my brain once it ended. I guess most of that was the slow(?) decay that was Act 6 and ultimately "well, OK, guess that's it" of the ending, I was eased into the apathy over a long stretch. I can't even really bring myself to a stronger critique of what it coulda/shoulda have done differently like in the last couple of pages, even that is too much  I'll still probably always remember the work more positively than negatively because the highs of the highs are not something I feel I have ever had or will have experienced in a form of entertainment, and the music will live on forever. Besides those snapchat posts years ago and the first (and I presume only?) Hiveswap act, there hasn't been anything else going on I assume?

I was not able to make it through this.

I thought it'd be a bummer that I'd bounce off the finale to what was a very formative work for a decent chunk of my life, but the fact is this is all coming 3 years since I last seriously thought about the story and even longer when I consider how loving cold I was on most of Act 6. It just feels weird because it means there will never be what I consider at least a personal sense of closure, it just is over and that's that. Which happens all the time to works people grew up with or grew attached to, it just feels egregious for me given how much of an emotional and mental sink that story was for a time. It's a chapter I can only help but look back on with a "well, I guess that happened" and move on.
