i might reread them that way tbh
i’m only eight pages into candy but so far it kind of seems like it was meant to be read that way. i’m assuming you’ve already read them both so i’m just gonna deal out some spoilers for what i’ve read so far (35 pages into meat, 8 into candy), but
meat feels so outstandingly heavy, ESPECIALLY once dirk takes over the narrative (which was OUT OF LEFT FIELD and WEIRD but i’m wondering if it has to do with his heart powers? i’m not sure but i love it so far), and especially once dirk takes over the narrative, it feels increasingly sinister, so to have him explicitly tell you to go back and check out what’s going on in candy feels like...
idek, god, i’m not good at talking about this. it’s all just so meta and it’s amazing. homestuck has always been meta, and in its final years it got exponentially more so, and i kind of thought it had reached its meta apex? BUT APPARENTLY NOT
actually all of that was just incoherent rambles, so i’m curious: with no spoilers, just a yes or no, is there the same sort of “stop here and go read the other one” moment in candy? or is that a meat-only moment?
