Day 51: review

[webcontractor]

I want people quoting "Look at the SKY Numbnuts!" the same way they quote "Flint & Steel"

Where doing it man.

Where making this hapen.

With the pilot coming out the amount of people leaving comments like "its so sad homestuck is bassicly lost media" is starting to really tick me off WHEN THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE IS CURRENTLY SERIALISING ITS RE-RELEASE.

Also the unofficial collection is still up if you wanna read it all in one go on top of so many different sites that are also hosting it!

Anyway go read the comic if you want, it is certainly very good.

God I hate how the drama cycle has made everyone convinced its inaccessible. Homestuck can't catch a 8r8k!!!!!!!!

I open tumblr. I see people bitching about how mischaracterized all the kids (especially dave) are in the pilot. I see people having full on arguments in the notes with equally biased and headcanon-heavy rebuttals. I close tumblr.

Im actually so tired of this being a pissing contest can we all just have our opinions and move on even if we dont agree with others’. Can we please not destroy the revival fandom enjoyment before it even starts

Oh. Realization im kinda scared for the hypothetical of

If the pilot gets greenlit for a series are they gonna actually pull through with june egbert being ‘canon’…

I dont hate the headcanon to be clear. But i hate how it came to be ‘forced canon’ via a shitty ARG bit and now fans will tear you apart and call you transphobic to not conforming to some impromptu retcon that the creator themself didnt even act upon.

Cause like if the series does that i feel like its gonna cause even more infighting than there already is in this fandom AND just simply over the pilot itself

I could have more thoughts on this but im not about to type an essay at 4 am. Or ever probably bc it shouldnt be that serious idk

Wait yeah why is it that whenever someone (me) complains about john swearing so damn much in the pilot everyone immediately jumps to ‘you wouldnt survive karkat/sollux/gamzee’ bitch what? Yes i would??? Theyre MEANT TO SWEAR its NORMAL for them.

Ive since equated it to rushed timing + verbal not being as ignorable as text that makes it feel like john sweared way too excessively in the pilot, even though i do still feel it was laid on kinda thick either way. I also have no real hatred over it cause yeah it sure is homestuck and they sure are 13 year olds but john is like the nice kid who probably grew up a bit sheltered and therefore somewhat prudish and therefore wouldnt tack on fuck as a filler word to everything. But thats just my take for him in early acts. Cause this definitely does change. Anyways.

The fact that theres swearing at all isnt the issue i couldnt give two shits about that. The issue is that its JOHN doing it the MOST in ACT ONE. And yet people are out here seeing that and absolutely screaming ‘would you prefer slurs?’ ‘Clearly you havent read homestuck’ ‘you wont survive the trolls’ like WHAT DO YOU MEAN. THATS NOT WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT AT ALL. HOW DID YOU GET THERE?

Ive seen it worse on tiktok mainly cause i dont comment on things here like i do over there. I literally got called illiterate and a newgen for bringing it up lmao. But like. I still see the community messages and posts from others about it on here and roll my eyes every time someone thinks ‘its better than slurs’ is the gotcha they think it is. Come on guys
