HOLD ON just realised this june is no longer doing the vriska quirk. oh no :(

june :(

i think i love mag a fucking lot????

this panel is super pretty. obsessed with the colouring

this is a neat homestuck parallel but it's also very interesting that vriska dying is the doomed timeline catalyst for those events and not. you know. any of the other things.

this is actually kind of fucked up of you vv not gonna lie!

holy shit that outfit???? im in love?????

the homestuck genre in one sentence

oh????????

i suppose in the static nature of a reality governed by principles of narration organic wild changes WOULD be anathema to existence. i kind of circled something similar in my own fic (what is gender transition if not this phenomenon?) so it's neat to see it expanded upon here

there's something definitely existentially horrific about living a functionally endless existence that can also be paradoxically extinguished by you choosing to step into the spacio-temporal instant of your demise just whenever. like i do not think you could easily live with that hanging over your head. not at all.

yeah like. you're given functional infinity with the endpoint pre-defined imagine what a certain kind of person could do with that limitless power and freedom.

many times this chapter i find myself going :(

THEM!!! THIS IS WHERE THEY WENT!!!!

holy fuck roxy looks so cool here

ROXY: --____--

god this roxy dialogue is so good. roxy is like. the most underrated godfeels character

lkdsjflkdjkldjfskldj we're actually doing the room gag LMAO

lol

at the same time that roxy said that i too went "holy shit mag!!" love that for everyone involved love godfeels for cultivating these reactions <3

this is a good recurring joke actually

hmmmm

me when i log on and talk to my mutuals from shrike dot club

:O

HMMMMMMMM

godfeels is a good story

thank you roxy for being the only person in this story brave enough to ask these in retrospect really fucking obvious questions

god no that would be super mega fucked :(

holy shit this is some raw as fuck stuff

ohoho this is the good shit this is some delicious good shit right here

all along the true importance of "a martyr died and said fuck" was that someone was there to read the words "A martyr died and said fuck" and take their own conclusions from the incomplete narrative the phrase was presented within and do as they will with what they have. i may not show it but i am galaxybraining very hard over things tangential to godfeels and instead thinking very much now about this philosophy in my own rendition of epilogues!alt-calliope and why she failed in her narrative curation/by extention why dirk and anyone else's efforts to preserve an existence through narrative text was always set up to fail. two way mirrors all the way down babey!!!!

"imagine, if you will, that a guy wrote a story about a transgender woman and imagine, if you will, that said story attracted an audience of transgender women. imagine, if you will, what the end result of that would be" been there done that already vv sorry to disappoint you lmao.

divorcing this line from its context to make a self indulgent gag. the following two lines are literally omelette route distilled down to its bare essentials lmfao

dave was wrong. you are not real people and you do have arcs. nightmare scenario

going hmmmmm again

these guys are out here just. reading every single extracanonically stable homestuck narrative thread at once. godspeed to them.

i get what this means literally (probably) but i am wondering at the deeper implications of this symbolic severance. Departure From Homestuck has been a running Theme of godfeels 3 so far, so what about now that it's been made explicit? much to consider. much to consider.

this may in fact be the coolest metaphor for storytelling so far
