Homestuck.XYZ 2.0

But I have no idea if that's because of some actual ideological stance they hold with regards to the integrity of fandom, or if it's just a necessary measure to ensure that the OTW stays within legal bounds. it's the latter. i don't see the relevance because act omega isn't hosted on ao3. It doesn'...

Then why has Dirk made such a huge 180 in characterization? I'm going to guess a few things. A. Hussie and/or whomever wrote the epilogues either didn't give much of a shit about Dirk's characterization in the comic, or Hussie somehow genuinely intended to write Dirk as some sort of amoral manipula...

You know, it is genuinely pretty shit that homestuck not being popular and having a shrinking interest is a GOOD scenario. It’s shocking to me. Also, while ViZ claiming they “have the rights to a certain character behaving a certain way” is a little worrying, because ViZ is not the owner of the IP ...

Publishers like Viz would no doubt disapprove of fan involvement in official projects, as fans are a wild card under most circumstances, and a massive hassle legally, but how exactly does What Pumpkin's standing with other companies affect fan projects? Especially seeing as Paradox Space has gotten...

I'm reminded of how when a statistician once ran around surveying peoples' opinions on Pepsi and he wound up with a scatterplot rather than a normal curve, the response was to create greater varieties of Pepsi s plural, and this was successful in making everyone happy. Maybe Homestuck's franchise c...

I'm sorry, but what the hell is this supposed to mean? Do you think we're agreeing on things, that we have similar viewpoints, contrary to what I believe? Your reaction tells me otherwise. I am not having a shared understanding. I am not reading the atmosphere all that well, and I don't think you'r...

I wrote a whole rant and I kind of regret it now. Feels like harshing people's mellow, but it's what pops into my head whenever I see people seriously getting into arguments about classpects. I'll leave it below for whoever's interested in reading it, but feel free to treat it as non-canon if you d...

My first update was, hilariously, Davepeta being created. Like, a few weeks before the start of the Omegapause, summer of 2015. People were real mad about Davesprite being merged with a cat girl and I hadn't had time to grow overly attached to Davesprite as a character, so I didn't really care? I st...

Snip Haha, I've read a lot of BKEW and other classpect theories, and I also know a bit about the philosophy behind a lot of a lot of these ideas, though the aristotle reference in particular is a new one which I quite like. I do remember reading a few vague things about that but I guess when it com...

And then there's the few theorists that I disagree a lot with, but find provide an interesting perspective on Classpect and the webcomic. The most popular of these is doubtlessly optimisticDuelist with their Aspect masterpost. I find that their way of interpreting the comic is good, but that's wher...

I wanted to say that you get it, but Joyfull said the same thing. So I think there isn't as much of a shared understanding as I'd like to think. I'm sorry, but what the hell is this supposed to mean? They didn't skip it. It hasn't been written yet. You know about SU criticals? They're like "Why hav...

Sure, but the characterization and motivations of multiple characters changed between Act 7 and the Epilogues as a natural consequence of time passing and Hussie wanting to tell a new story. Continuing to live in the fanon universe of Candy was tantamount to death for Dirk, the suicide was a formal...

It has now become clear to me from reading this thread and considering the points made, that Dirk is probably the least consistent character, or, put another way, too many disparate and completely different characters arbitrarily have the same name. One thing that I couldn't stomach very well durin...

The only instance of Brain Ghost Dirk becoming Real Dirk is the instance where Jake got knocked out after being dragged away from Derse and initially created Brain Ghost Dirk in the bubbles as a dream figment. He then followed Aranea into that large dream meetup with various characters. At the same ...

Why does Trickster Jake count as real Jake? I mean, that Jake really does love Dirk in some way, but he, like the other tricksters, are completely unresponsive to Dirk's depression. I mean they are real in terms of being literally the physical people with their physical mouths talking into each oth...

I'd rather read Dirk as AMAB these days. I know you can disregard the epilogues, but if I were a trans guy (I am) I would have contemplated my gender quite a bit and still be confident enough in it. And, honestly, I really like Roxy and how they transitioned later in life. It explains why Roxy kept...

I'm going to talk about Dirk's great qualities now because I love him and it makes me so fucking sad to think that this is what he's reduced to. 1. Dirk is one of the most hardworking people in the entire cast. He says that he does "too much" and "gets carried away", but I see that he's passionate a...

I think this quote from Taz's essay on this subject is good. What we’re left with, then, is actually a philosophical debate between two perspectives. What’s truly most important to your identity — the person you’re naturally predisposed to be, or the person you choose to become? Should Dirk forever ...

GT: And years ago i used to joke around with him that we would probably be totally into each other if he was a girl. GT: But of course that was before i started to realize he was probably serious about those feelings for me regardless. I never would have guessed. Not that I’ve spent much time conte...

EXCUSE ME I'M WRITING AN ESSAY TO DISPUTE THE IDEA THAT DIRK IS LITERALLY EVER MANIPULATIVE OR ABUSIVE EVEN ONCE EXCLUDING THE EPILOGUES. Like seriously I am legit looking for instances of Dirk, in the comic, doing anything actually awful, of Dirk doing anything actually manipulative, or actually a...
