You say that as though the two are mutually exclusive.
I'm re-reading Act 1, and something just came to mind: The kids haven't figured out that they aren't real yet. You would think some of the odd things about their world (the captchalogues in particular) would tip them off to things being not quite right, but I don't think the wrongness of things has really hit them even in Act 6.
Eh, they're video game characters, but that doesn't mean they're not real within the context of the story. Just means their reality already followed video-game-like laws before they entered Skaia.
I'm probably attacking this from the wrong angle, then.
What I'm really wondering is...what happens when someone actually wins the game? We've never seen anyone actually do it (though Karkat and company came close), and so I'm wondering if going through that door at the end makes them all real, like it did in Problem Sleuth. Or if it leads to our world, or something.
Reading through Hivebent now. It's interesting how this provides a softer side to characters that, until now, had pretty much been nothing but antagonistic. Karkat is still loudmouthed, but obviously cares for his friends; Terezi is still weird, but also kind of naive and maybe even a bit lonely...turns out she lives in the middle of nowhere.

It just dawned on me that there's a good chance Hussie isn't really going to bother touching on any more relationship stuff and possibly leave all the relationships sort-of as is. Either ended with a chance of rekindling; not really started yet, but possible; or turbulent.
Which would still make all of the popular ships possible if never fully canonized (except for perhaps the last category).
Well, considering he's finishing all of Act 6 Act 6 and Act 7 at once, I think there'll be at least a little bit of room for character development among what is sure to be plenty of chaos.
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
Personally I think Hussie will definitely leave these things hanging in the air. Just as much to mess with the readers as it is a legitimate direction the story might take.
I just read some of Gamzee's lines from Hivebent out loud. It's amazing how silly he was then, considering the sort of madness he devolved into later on.
I mentioned this to Naney and I think in my liveblog, but part of what makes Doc Scratch such an effective villain is that he is really alien. Yes, he is a manipulative jerk by most reasonable standards, but when you really try to analyse his motives, you realise that his thought process is fundamentally not human. It is quite unsettling.
I'm reading (or, rather watching via Let's Read Homestuck) John and Karkat's conversation at the beginning of A5A2. Karkat is projecting like crazy. :lol:
Aw, man, 3x SHOWDOWN COMBO isn't going to be until Act 5 Act 2 Part 26, which isn't out yet. I really wanted to see what music they put under Kanaya Beats Up Everyone.
...except that it turns out that it is out, and they used DANCE OF THORNS.
Interesting fact: Tyrian purple, the blood colour of Feferi and Meenah's tiny sea-dwelling caste, was originally derived from the flesh and blood of sea snails. Not sure how intentional that was, but if so, very clever.
Your eyes get accustomed to their bullshit after a while, but having to actually exert the effort to move navigate your hand over the mouse, hold down the mouse and highlight that text? That's just unamerican.
I WAS TRYING TO MAKE ERIDAN TRANSPARENT AND I WAS MESSING WITH THE EFFECTS TO TRY AND REMEMBER HOW TO GET RID OF THE LITTLE BIT OF WHITE AROUND HIM AND THIS HAPPENED

Point taken.
Honestly, I never had much trouble with any of the text tomfoolery, with the exception of Mituna's hysterics.
We met here in my apartment a little while ago. At that moment, I was busy hosting you from the future, who is you right now, but I did not mention this at the time. I would have introduced your past self to your future self and vice versa, but it is a well known fact that past and future selves tend not to get along.

KARKAT: WE AREN'T GONNA HUG IT OUT *THIS* TIME BRO, I'LL TELL YOU THAT MUCH RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!
Karkat is no longer my second least favorite character.
Want to see what happens but don't want it to end, also characters I love are likely to die.

Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
Also you don't understand what the hell is going on or who all these characters are. It's all a lot of nonsense.
