is there anyway to read a character as "coded" for something without it being a racial stereotype? i legit don't understand that conceptually. thats pretty off topic though so here's a homestuck question: do you think we'll ever get a more definitive understanding of active/passive pairs and other classpect stuff? even if it's not directly in comic or something i'd still like to know
Probably not, that’ll be left up to reader interpretation like so many other things.
Also, if Gamzee is bad (and I'm not saying he isn't; he's, after all, a religious zealot doing nasty shit with only that as the reason), then how come you label Vriska an "anti-hero"...? smh at you
Because she’s not actively working against the protagonist.
She’s a horrible person too don’t get me wrong, but she’s a horrible person that’s helping the protagonists.
What is all this "coded" stuff? And what is exactly the point of it?
“coded” is basically a character written with the traits of a certain group or illness. The point, I’m not quite sure. To say something without saying it I suppose
That last anon made me curious about captchaloging characters so.. Has a character ever been captchalogued in the past? Or has it ever been questioned?
So I am in no way a gamzee apologist, I think he's literally the worst person in the comic, next to maybe caliborn, but how would you compare him to vriska, who's also a murderer and was in an abusive relationship (cause vrisktav is not healthy.)
Pretty close on the douche-o-meter.
Gamzee being just a bit farther along because he doesn’t even kinda-not-really-but-sorta feel bad about stuff he does like Vriska and because he’s an antagonist.
How long would it take to read all of homestuck not including the final bits. someone told me it would take like a few months but i really dont think it'll be that long.
It depends my first read through took a couple weeks, some people only take a few days. It depends on how committed you are, also how good you read.
Why can't they just kill gamzee, that way they won't have to deal with Lord English or would that just not work
Because Lord English instigated many, many major events that shifted the timeline to what it is and if they stop him from being created they break a time loop and pretty much fuck everything up and doom their timeline
How deserving do you think Vriska is of a redemption arc/happy ending at this point? Since you rank her so close to Gamzee on the douche-o-meter, and you say Gamzee doesn't deserve one. Just curious.
She already got one. (Vriska) is the redemption arc. Therefore, currently alive Vriska can fuckin die for all I care, and she probably will, for the irony.
Yes, but the Gamzee that makes up LE is also evil after being corrupted by LE... it's a big dumb time loop which makes no sense because Homestuck is fucking bullshit
And the Gamzee before he got corrupted was on drugs so I guess we’ll never figure out what Gamzee’s true personality really is.
Yeah, I’m okay. I was up way past my bedtime last night fighting the good fight and then I wake up to more of the Discourse™
in the inbox, so I’m just kinda tired and peeved.
What do you think is going to happen with Gamzee if they can't kill him? Are they going to bring him into their new planet after the engame? Asking in reference to that one ask where you said they can't kill him without dooming their timeline. (Also, I would like to apologize on behalf of everyone for the Douchebag Dicourse™.)
Vriska said she’ll throw him in the ocean on earth. Where he’ll stay until it is time for him to break free and raise the cherubs
So you've probably been asked this already, if so you can ignore this since I know you're stressed :( but what casino is Jack talking about getting revenge for?
Why did Gamzee murder everyone in a doomed timeline that a certain Aradiabot is from? The one who had the codes from the doomed timeline. 8r8 h8ds, honk HONK, etc. There was no Lil Cal or "Miracles" video to instigate him so did he somehow lose his sopor slime?
We don’t know why, it wasn’t mentioned in either of the twotimes it was brought up
To the askers: you don't have to be autistic to remember all this stuff. Seriously, you just have to actually pay attention. Like, people do it all the time on stuff they actually like.
Hey brosky, don’t know if it’s intentional but your tone came of a lil rude.
also A: No one said you have to autistic to remember this shit, it’s just a part of the reason i can. and B: Not everyone can “pay attention” that well or understand or remember plot mechanics. That’s the reason this blog exists.
So Eridan talks about killing angels in his pester logs to KK. So. Can we assume that if SOMEONE didn't eviscerate him, he could kill of say... a cherub? (This is just a silly ass question to lighten your mood)
Nah, he also said the angels were super difficult to kill requiring several minutes of constant shooting from his legendary weapon. And cherubs are debabably more powerful than angels
(I'm unfollowing because I'm not caught up and am getting too many spoilers, so worry not about losing at least this follower, if that is a thing that's worried about even, some people worry or get upset)
It’s fine, I get it. But all-in-all we’ve only lost about 100 followers to the Discource. We lost way more last year when I roleplayed Caliborn for a day.
