#upd8 feels

[smolmagicalmuffin]

I got the ending that i deserved and i feel oddly at peace. Everything seems so familiar but yet different at the same time. Also if you werent shown in the credits video im sure you will be in the epilogue.

This was pretty much my exact reaction to the final update, and this song has been stuck in my head since it hit. So now I'm inflicting it on you guys. (Honestly though, this has been one of my favorite homestuck songs forever because it always seemed to capture the experience perfectly...)

[iizgonnaeeeeeeeeeatyou]

Well finishing Homestuck left an even bigger hollow feeling than finishing Sailor Moon (honestly I was kinda disappointed in the final season, but that was probably due to the fact that I had like 15 years to hype myself up for it or something), Inuyasha (I was mostly satisfied with this one but I couldn't believe I had actually finished it... I immediately started rewatching), and Madoka Magica (I wasn't as invested in this one but the ending still left me in a haze of wtf just happened) combined... This may be because I’m feeling all those things at the same time as well as the fact that Iv’e been way more actively involved in this series than the last three combined... I’ve been reading since I was like 13 or something... It’s crazy, Homestuck has pretty much been a big part of a third of my life!

And though all the “loose ends” or whatever we’re calling them (and the total lack of dialog... Oh man, I think I'm mostly upset that nothing else was said... It always felt weird and wrong to me when nobody was talking. I really enjoyed the chat logs, the lack of both that and narration just kind of made it hard to process that “yes, this is in fact, actually the way the story really goes”... especially since everything had been retconned and so half of the people on the lillypad are complete unknowns ect) leave me at even more of a loss than a definite ending would have... I think I'm happy with this... Maybe??? It's nice I guess.

Anyway, it’s been a good guys...

I feel... entirely... satisfied. I feel wrung out and refreshed and this is good, this end is good.

The only part of the ending of Homestuck that I felt underwhelmed with is Collide, rather than Act 7. I’m not sure why that’s so, but Act 7. Damn. I didn’t know what I was expecting but they’re HAPPY, they’re so fucking HAPPY, they put themselves back together and worked for this so hard and they got

And it’s so fucking gorgeous. First I cried because it’s beautiful, then I cried because I’m HAPPY for these stupid kids and I love them and just

I don’t know what my life is anymore now that it’s over. I barely did anything Homestuck but now there’s a void in my heart and what do I even do anymore?

I am four for four on watching that upd8 and winding up crying as a result

I never knew I needed this so much and yet here we are

god

I may need to write some scourge feels, idk

like it’s really desperately hard to explain how much these two mean to me? But I’m sitting here five minutes after another rewatch just. still choking up. god.

I have Destiny to go play but. I really, really just. I don’t even know what I want to write for them because right now all that’s in my head is hands on cheeks and happy tears. but I haven’t felt this emotional about someting in. well. I’m sure it’s not as long as I think it is? but still.

[faint singing and sobbing from the shower]

pretty pretty please don’t you ever ever feel like you’re less than fucking perfect

[chiramire]

I'm crying SO hard after the upd8. Like. I need to just... .. this upd8 was too much feels

[mtjester]

AHH I don’t want to be too critical or rain on anyone parade because of my personal preferences and whatnot but

Terezi and Vriska’s falling out first happened because Vriska tried to murder Tavros and did murder Aradia

And then Vriska pretty much orchestrated the creation of Bec Noir and actually did kill Tavros

And Terezi found Tavros’s dead body and saw what Vriska was going to do with Bec Noir and had to literally kill her to prevent her from seriously fucking everything up

But then John came to artificially prevent that natural progression of conflict resolution between them from happening, which was GOOD but also not really true to them, their relationship, their conflict, or to the way they would deal with it between them

And now retconned Vriska and Terezi are just chill??  Like oops I didn’t have to kill you there it is all fixed

What about everything Vriska did to make Terezi so suspicious of her in the first place?  I dunno, I would’ve been about red or black vrisrezi, but pale vrisrezi isn’t sitting well with me at all.  I feel like Terezi is coasting on the relief she feels for not killing Vriska, but I don’t think she can do anything to affect Vriska or help her grow.  I think they’re floating on emotions that aren’t sustainable, created from the three year’s peace without the people or situations that caused them so much disagreements in the first place.  And Terezi saying “Oh I should just forget all these insecurities or reservations I have about the future because you’re totally right and I’m overthinking things” just...??? Like that’s maybe not the way to deal with this stuff.

IDK IDK IDK but they were cute and Terezi’s? happy? so
