Homestuck Ramblings

friendlyneighborhoodspidertits said: Bec Noir and The Felt were pretty well defeated too, if not outright murdered just yet. The only part that was left unfinished was the Dream Bubble English Battle and junk.

i guess, but it doesn’t really feel like it, you know? like, you have this character, bec noir, whose been around since act 3, being built up as this unbeatable boss, and this is how they’re “defeated”? just, like, removing the ring from the body?

wait

oh my fucking god why didn’t i think about that before

three fucking years since i first read homestuck and not once did that thought cross my mind

tomorrow i will continue reading thousands of lines of hs au fanfic just like i’ve been doing for years now.

nice try hussie, but you can’t disrupt my routine that easily.

maybe it’s not meant to be taken as it is right now. maybe it’s a prelude. always, always consider the archive reader’s perspective.

or maybe it’s just the way things are? real life doesn’t have definitive begin and end points for narratives. everything flows, and you need to understand everything that came before to fully understand the present. real life doesn’t have neat and tidy resolutions to things. time marches ever onward, unconcerned with the opinions of some apes on a small planet going around a relatively uninteresting star in the backwater of the milky way, right on the edge of the virgo supercluster.

maybe it’s meant to be unsatisfying.
