i just realized some of us think some scenes in Homestuck are funny or weird but to the actual characters in the story some things are just god damn terrifying. Like imagine being in Jade's position when she saw a Horrorterror for the first time. Or seeing a bunch of dead yous in the corner of a room. Or even seeing your friend turn batshit crazy and start killing everyone. Or being possessed by those dark gods and going Grimdark

You do get desensitized to Dead Daves after a bit, but, let’s be real- I don’t know about you, but Rose going Grimdark, Gamzee’s Rampage and Jade’s Nightmare evoked preeeetty much the same feelings the characters had to be feeling at the time in me.
