I've been relistening to the homestuck soundtrack album by album while working lately and man. it's reminding me how much I genuinely loved about homestuck, and how that made the aspects of it that sucked so much more frustrating

#I have such a love/hate relationship with this stupid comic #we're vascillati- [gets shot]#no but for real there is so much that's good #really interesting and entertaining characters #and a LOT of them. there is truly a character for everyone #genuinely funny dialogue #interesting worldbuilding #absolutely INSANE utilization of the artistic medium #like. sometimes I think about the panel expanding to fill the whole page in cascade and I go a little crazy #but then for every strength it has. it shoots itself in the foot.#it has interesting compelling characters but because there are so many of them only a few get actual narrative attention and development #and many others just get completely fucked over by the narrative #like. main characters. jade you deserve so much better baby.#and the worldbuilding is cool in THEORY but the actual execution is so messy and difficult to keep track of #even stuff like the epilogues like. had some interesting ideas about narrative and meta concepts about what it means to be a story #the meta stuff is kinda cool #but once again. the actual execution of those ideas was just miserable and left me with such a sour taste in my mouth #tbh that's all probably what made the fandom so prolific #because it was full of so many interesting ideas and characters #but the ideas were poorly executed and the characters were poorly handled #which gives the fandom a lot of room to play in the space #you can pick up the characters or worldbuilding ideas or plot points that you actually liked #and make them your own #idk. reading that comic as a baby english major did something to me #I want to analyze it like I had to analyze some of the questionable literature I read #anyway. the music is still flawless I have no notes there #does anyone wanna classpect the fma characters. i haven't classpected characters in so long im so rusty but i always found it fun
