h.. haiku bot....

i had the most infuriating interaction on twitter. so i want to have more productive and interesting conversations about homestuck now. tell me things you find unique or interesting with homestuck's writing/characters/themes etc! or tell me criticisms you have about it, its character choices or writing choices, etc! (pls dont come in to just say act 6 is bad or vriska did nothing wrong etc ! you can have those opinions but i want to spark conversations and debates around new and interesting topics or topics that don't get brought up as much!!) ALSO PLS NO HS2 i just want to talk about Homestuck as it is because i think there's still so much to dissect and explore!

i didnt realize violetblood chilchuk would be so divisive 😭 i talked abt it a bit already on twitter but the basic idea is that he would be Very divorced from his cast, living like a 'commoner'. i feel if he was born into riches, he would not be interested if it meant having to kill or separate himself from the rest of society (ie he would not feel like he's superior to other trolls, especially not enough to justify killing them). i was a lot more interested in staying true to their personalities AND their dynamics/relationships to others! i feel chilchuk, as a violetblood in alternian society, would have similar struggles with connection and showing open care for his party due to feeling othered as the only highblood (who very much does Not act like a highblood). i feel it opens up some really interesting ways to explore their relationships with each other! i wanted to avoid basing their casts entirely/mostly off of their fantasy races bc im sorry but to me it's just a little boring ;_;
