now that i’m really opening myself up to the idea of analysing Homestuck with reference to traditional comics, I wonder if it’s worth thinking about how familiar Hussie was with the intricacies of the Hulk character when he created Lord English? like, how reasonably can we read into the fact that English is half Jigsaw (serial killer puppet who traps people in scenarios that force them to undergo brutal redemption before they escape) and half Hulk (gamma-fueled manifestation of ongoing cycles of patriarchal abuse)
