The only semicanon ship that matters is John<3Gamzee



I haven’t seen homestuck shipping drama this bad since 2013
Oh no, nononononononono, we ARE NOT opening up that can of worms
forever and always

I retconed it for you
1) Not really in the big picture. The Echeladder was a neat thing in the beginning showing our heros progress while showing a few jokes in there, but largely became irrelevant the farther we got in the story
2) They died lmao
Well yeah, obviously, how can someone who shoots a clown with a automated rifle or whatever the fuck kinda gun not be a good person

Oh honey, I’ve my diploma for a long time. You should have been around when Johndave v. Johnkat was a thing
I don’t know if all of these are actual ships, but I’m just gonna list them anyway: DaveRose, JohnJade, DaveDirk, DaveRoxy, RoseRoxy, RoseDirk, JohnJane, JaneJade, AlphaDave/AlphaRose, any of the kids with their Guradrians, Calliope/Caliborn and debatably all of the trolls.
DirkRoxy and JaneJake are not incestuous at all.
Trick Question:

I’ve been trying pretty hard to stick close to canon and evaluate what Homestuck’s been trying to do so far instead of speculating, but let me know if there’s anything you think I missed or didn’t explain well enough or disagree with if you do end up reading this–I love feedback and my aim is honestly just to try to pin down what the comic was going for.
That’s really good! You bring up a lot of points I had never considered before, and framing everything in that view certainly is a better story for Jade than, “too op to use better make everything suck for her”
It’s mentioned here, and karkat talks to terezi about it in the 2nd openbound, and it’s brought up a couple more times here and there
