I loved Homestuck in the beginning.
Now its just disappointing.
And annoying.
New Vriska is annoying.
The whole point of her character was that she was a huge bitch that thought they had everything undercontrol but was actually only hanging on by virtue of their ego not letting them give up on something.
Now she's a huge bitch who is right about everything and everyone needs to listen to her or their fucked.
And that's dumb.

after weeks of not knowing my grade
i finally realized my mistake
our grades have been sorted by id number
and for the longest time, there's been one that's been the same as mine up to the first three numbers
but i finally read that number completely
and it was the exact same as mine
but i had a different number down on the fourth letter
so either the teacher recorded the number wrong or i recorded my number wrong
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's meanWell to be fair I do think her plan is gonna bite everyone in the ass, but yeah, character development is kinda just "a thing that happens offscreen but trust us it makes sense" these days.
Also there's something off about the way the finale is being built up, versus how the first five Acts were built up to Cascade. Feels like he kinda wasted all his clever ideas early and now he's just shoving new shit at us trying to create hype for the finale.
Honestly I think Homestuck has just gone on way too long. It should have ended with the characters all trying to beat Bec Noir.
And let's be honest, no Homestuck villian is ever gonna top Noir. Caliborn is cool and all, and I get that he's been foreshadowed since the beginning but Noir was goddamn personification of everyone's fuckups.
The characters failed so hard that they made a seemingly invincible universe killing demon, that personally stabbed most of our favorite characters to death. Seeing them overcome that would have been the best ending possible.

Actually, now that you mention it, yeah, English is kind of why I can't get excited about the ending. Yeah, English was foreshadowed since the beginning and was responsible for most of the bad shit, but there's really nothing personal tying him to the main characters. He's just been fucking stuff up in the background so they've gotta stop him before they actually reach him too. There's nothing about him that the characters are emotionally invested in (except for John because he met him for five minutes once and punched him in the face before disappearing), so despite him being the most powerful player on the board at the moment he seems almost inconsequential. English would have been a good minor villain, maybe, to counter Calliope's own personal arc. Kinda like how Jack Noir is just off to the side getting chased by the Peregrine Mendicant.
hooray

Actually, fuck, even during the carnage of [S] Game Over, English wasn't involved in that at all, except for some shit in the background for five minutes, as usual. All that devastation was caused both directly and indirectly by Her Imperial Condescension... who is allegedly under English's orders, but here she's gone rogue and is acting under her own motives, so it's still not even related to him. And even she's more directly tied to all the characters emotionally, considering she wiped out humanity and flooded the Earth and put Insane Clown Posse in the White House and killed half the main characters even before they died again in another timeline and is Meenah's parallel counterpart and Feferi's ancestor. How come she hasn't had more focus? What's she even doing at this point? Why's she still Caliborn's patsy? The same reason they're fighting in him the first place: "well i mean we'll die if we don't, so..."
oh well

Well I was gonna say "a fucking trip to read and you should definitely check it out", but... y'know.
That actually happens, though. They become the Presidents of the United States and run the country into the ground.
Also they trigger the apocalypse with this song.
ughhhh the homestucks in the comments
