I’m kidding they love each other

Reread Whistles. Still largely opaque to me, but 1. the description of clowns as a race in danger of eradication and 2. the fear of being replaced that haunts the stars of the circus suggest to me that racial paranoia is still a driving force of the narrative. I tried to reconcile this with the story's treatment of cannibalism (and prostitution, the other flesh trade) to little avail -- at most I vaguely suspect that Sugarshoe's retelling of the story might qualify as /narrative/ cannibalism, which if we leap forward to Homestuck would tie Caliborn's production of Homosuck to his cannibal-derived namesake Caliban and his general taste for flesh -- his Alpha Male adventuring in the Land of Someone's Handicrafts I Took (LOSHIT) also connects the act of copying to the act of consumption.

Fun Fact: Honolulu Hammer and Tiki Titan (two characters from Gentlemen of Excellence) actually appear in a specific page of Whistles: The Starlight Calliope where the titular character showcases juggling to a group of young natives.

have you ever read hussies other works ie “and it dont stop” “midnight calliope” etc? if so what did you think?

Yeah, I've checked out most of the works on the Unofficial Homestuck Collection. Really big fan of the style and techniques implemented in And It Don't Stop and Whistles: The Starlight Calliope!!

Hussie's older works are where you really get a sense of the bigotry that outlined his works, too. Plus, a lot of their past comics are referenced extremely heavily in Homestuck, since it was originally only really made for the consumption of those on that niche little forum.

I think everyone should read Hussie's older works, it helps you really get into the mind of Hussie as a writer, and makes certain decisions a lot more clear and obvious. There's no real reason not to do it. If you can handle Homestuck, you can probably handle his other works.

Also, read Problem Sleuth right now if you haven't already.
