Masterpost of My Homestuck Essays
So I realized I needed a masterpost of everything I’ve written about Homestuck, to link people to and to make specific essays easier to find. Here’s everything I still feel relatively proud of as of April 2020:
The Self Pile Doesn’t Stop From Getting Taller, or: The Problem of Dead Marios
Hearts and Minds: Notes on How These Aspects Explore Themes of Self
All That Wacky Gnostic Stuff and the Ending Of Homestuck, Or: The Yolobro Principle
Act 6 Homestuck as Narrative Rebellion, or: Arcs Are Dead, Long Live Arcs
The Tragedy (and Secret Triumph) of Jade Harley, or: The Gnostic Gardener
Lord English as a Manifestation of Trauma: An Alternate Reading
Notes on Gamzee as a “Flat Character” (building on RevolutionaryDuelist’s ideas)
#8: The Ballad of Vriska and Terezi, or: I Brought My Girlfriend Back From the Dead and All She Did Was Blow Herself Up in the Furthest Ring
Homestuck is My Favorite Sprite Comic
The Future of This Blog: A Retrospective, or: Dubiously Useful Notes on the Epilogues
The Power of Voice in the Epilogues
The Triumph of the Marginalia (On Nepeta and Equius)
After the End (Again) - Thoughts on the Epilogues vs Act 7
Three Layers of Reality, Lord English and the Ultimate Weapon (Very outdated, from the earliest days of this blog, but still a fun read)
I have at least a few more things I want to say about Homestuck, so as soon I get around to writing more essays, I’ll add those here.
