■ Super late, but thinking about it, wow HS and its extended material has a lot of corruption of the self stuff. Which only becomes weird when the gravitas of each of them is treated wildly differently, and only becomes a problem when people treat it like a good thing.

Yeah I mean it fits, identity has always been a core pillar of the themes of Homestuck. And one of the ones hussie does best. Being shaped by expectation of peers, family, the world vs what is truly you, hell how your own perceptions of how you are and how you should be shape how you behave. how much being unique matters, etc. a lot of the time it really excels at those things imo.

That's part of what I really like about the epilogues. All the wrongness is blatant and a problem, in story. I wish we'd gotten the story that was setting up, or just had it end entirely. I dunno. I like Homestuck.
