Hey, are we the audience reading homestuck, lord English? I mean, its kind of dead, and we're looking through its corpse... did Hussie figure out a pattern from the first three adventures and set us up as the villian of homestuck?
Nah, but also partially? No, because Homestuck vilifying the readers is as far from its intent as you can get, Hussie obviously loves the comic and the Fans, he created an enormous, rich story where self inserting is just so easy and fun, encourages us to make content about it and enjoy it and share it. It wasn’t until life and Hiveswap got in the way that he stopped doing regular updates, and even then afterwards he continued putting them on a regular basis rather than all at once, because he knew people liked that update format, EVEN when Homestuck, read archived rather than serially, is much, much better. In the end, the archive readers are the ones who benefit the most from the story, but the update format in the moment was serially only because of the Fans, because he didn’t want to make us wait more and then just dump EVERYTHING at once on us.
That being said, Caliborn and Calliope are us. The Good part and the Bad part of the Fandom respectively, so in a way, Lord English is, partially, the bad side of the Fandom? It’s more tied to Caliborn though, but it shines through on English at times, the disregard for the characters just for the ships, the way he’s at odds with the author, the way his idea of a good story is something so incredibly shitty and gross. Caliborn is definitely the bad side of the Fandom, and Calliope, sweet precious cinnamon roll Calliope, is the good side, encouraging, loving her favorite characters, drawing fanart and fanfiction even if it’s embarrassing, self-inserts and Trollsonas.
Callie adores the work of Hussie and wants to do more with it and expands on it and makes theories. Caliborn thinks the story is stupid, kills the author, and plants himself in the story to wreck shit up and be an asshole, both as Caliborn with Homosuck, and as Lord English with the Alpha Timeline. But when Caliborn becomes Lord English, he’s. Well, he passes from being “Misogynistic Manchild” to “Actual tyrannical God, enslaver of people and Universes”, so the similarities with the Fandom kind of. Dim. He becomes more of a Force than a Character, in fact.
