homestuck act omega is so good, it feels like reading the original comic

Honestly I’ve considered reading it or Act 8 and other such projects a bunch of times, but I’m very stubborn.

On one side, love the idea- Continuing the story, giving your unique twist on it. I love it because I feel the more open end of Act 7 and how long it’ll take to get the Epilogue out, is basically Hussie handing us the story and letting us do what we want with it! Our headcanons and ideas, our theories. I love that kind of thing.

But given the general reaction of the Fandom to an Ending that, as I’ve mentioned before, I personally think is really good? I feel like all the Ending Projects aren’t continuing the story, but rather… Trying to ‘fix’ it. Projects started out of spite as a ‘We can do this better than you, look’ defiance of Hussie’s ending, shaping the Canon to their own Headcanons and going around what they thought was ‘dumb’ which in many cases misses the point Hussie tried to make in the first place. It may not even be like that- But that’s how it feels to me, and why I haven’t checked any of those kinds of project out. And likely, why it’ll take me a looooong time to check them out, if I ever check them out at all.
