thinking about it in the same light as godfeels (and postcanon's) notion of The Homestuck Mold. jade harley continued to Be Jade Harley the empty signifier for so long it almost destroyed her. that existential battle against stagnacy that they're all trapped in, that sits at the heart of so much...yeah. yeah this story is on fire right now.

godfeels upd8 

godfeels staring the sentiment "jade harley deserves better" down and beating us the reader over the head until we well and truly Get It

godfeels upd8 

btw jade harley deserves better

godfeels upd8 

girls when they're well and truly fed up of a lifetime of being fucking shafted for a "greater good" they never get to taste the fruits of

godfeels upd8 

davepeta being the difference that lets this specific jade finally escape the cycle of torment and isolation, and by extension all the thematic elements that brought davepeta to this moment. something about retcon decisions and catastrophic divergences. reality itself had to be shattered six different ways just for the miracle of jade harley having something for herself to be allowed to happen. homestuck itself had to shatter.

godfeels upd8 

reminded of the [s] saturday gag with jake and the sword a little. many such cases of objects being thrown leading to plot critical developments

godfeels upd8 

vriska showing up from the void in a moment of emotional turmoil. the parallels keep hapening

godfeels upd8 

man just the concept of a vriska who didn't get sucked down into the black hole is insane to me. again like we KNEW this already and seeing the way it's all traced back is so crazy. that canon do be divergent.

godfeels upd8 

considering now which version of vriska gets the better deal. like vriska not being sucked into the black hole is obviously better than being trapped in a dead end by design reality but that's implying there's a level of inherent betterness to a vriska that instead got kicked square out of homestuck and into something new.

godfeels upd8 

dunno i'm really out here pondering the myriad postcanon divergences of vriska. godfeels vriska meeting terezi in the void. tse!vriska and the slowburn promise that one day she will claw her way back to the one she loves. hs2!vriska wielding her relevance with a keen desperation. omelette route!vriska letting herself be used as a pawn in a cosmic scheme as the only viable route back home. i know this a jade chapter but i am now in my serket feelings once again. :vriskhomo:

godfeels upd8 

unstoppable force (person in their teens) versus unmovable object (person in their twenties)

godfeels upd8 

this is so funny. like oh yeah this is teen vriska she doesn't know shit

godfeels upd8 

so steadfast in her belief that even a version of vriska in june's own head followed through with this line of logic.

godfeels upd8 

(wait until she learns about all the vriskas in all the other junefics lmfao)

godfeels upd8 

this gets exponentially funnier when you consider godfeels!june is one of the very few junes that came out before her 23rd birthday. june eg8ert is winning the egbert gender speedrun category regrettably

godfeels upd8 

june egbert titled "most repressed mother fucker" for another year running. who can beat her? (the spectre of dave strider lingers like a faint jpeg watermark)

godfeels upd8 

ah. right. yeah. conditions of this timeline mean that vriska is not gonna get to go home and have it be "over" in the way she wants. man.

godfeels upd8 

battery-derived classpect theory...i believe

godfeels upd8 

i mean technically if you think about the metatextual nature of paradox space are god tier powers not narratological "batteries" that charge and discharge at the whims of whichever author figure is--[i am unceremoniously pulled off-stage]

godfeels upd8 

speaking of bitches that deserve better. man vriska really did get such a raw deal no matter which way you slice it. all she wants is to go home and she is never permitted that

godfeels upd8 

"hella calculus with their juicy neurons"

godfeels upd8 

aaaah this is all so good. jade's reclamation of her power and selfhood in the face of a narrative reality that until now only saw her as a convenient puppet. it's so sad and so cruel and it Literally is the fact that the act of violence that is homestuck is gone and she still remains like it Really Is All About That Actually

godfeels upd8 

god the rebirth and reclamation in the depths of nothing after the end of everything. this is tapping so hard into similar emotional channels as gf2.1 like jade and june together are making up this twfold complete examination of this really specific emotional core. overlapping stories in different directions.

godfeels upd8 

alternative what-if scenario: instead of silverbark, dirk is gatecrashed in 2.3 by 23 year old jade, davepeta, and teen!vriska. wouldn't that have been a fucking mess of an event

godfeels upd8 

my rezis are really being vrissed over here !!

godfeels upd8 

vriska saying "i *dare* you" *spongebob pointing.jpg*

godfeels upd8 

jade after cutting herself off from everything and everyone maybe forever, on a path she is not guaranteed to survive or find joy on: you know at least it beats being a teenager. she is very real for this statement

godfeels upd8 

funny how "beefing it" in this context refers to essentially disrupting the narrative enough that vriska is spared from enduring the epilogues. jade became silverbark in part to stop dirk's schemes, but jade becoming silverbark also in part stopped another dirk's schemes. it really is all about not letting orange guys get away with their bullshit huh

godfeels upd8 

vriska i regret to tell you that this is the least amount of gay crap in all of godfeels

godfeels upd8 

the notion of space being aligned so close to the core of all reality and jade brushing up against the narrative logic that partially dictates their existence. hm. many thoughts.

threads and strands...a narrative fabric. a...quilt, one might even say??

storytelling rules governing paradox space. the power of intentionality and a compelling narrative. this all feels super extra pertinent

godfeels upd8 

kind of interesting that both vriska and jade ended up returning to earth c within days of each other presumably without ever meeting or interacting again. even more interesting that vriska's return to earth c was kind of indirectly guaranteed by jade through her molding of dana into the person she is today and their collective associated choices. everything is so interconnected it's crazy.

godfeels upd8 

despite everything we know from the future, these are still a bunch of sad and alone kids staring down something massive and terrifying. it kind of works out in the end but there's still the tragedy that it had to happen like this in the first place.

godfeels upd8 

i love this. this idea that lord english's narrative prison of an existence was essentially slapping blinders over paradox space. infinite possibility of homestuck beyond homestuck everything is Themes and everything is good

godfeels upd8 

the subtitle of godfeels is "i dreamed of feeling better" and here's jade actually feeling better in reality. june's dreams. jade's physicality. yeah yeah the way these two intertwine is so fucking good

godfeels upd8 

man. MAN what a fucking chapter. my socks are blown clean off and i am left feeling so emotional and mentally brain bursting with ideas. godfeels keeps outdoing itself all the time i really and truly love this fucking story so much

godfeels upd8 

*months of each other. making this correction before it drives me insane

godfeels upd8 

@pochapal Sorry about all the stars but it's hard to hold them back while in the Realm of Good Opinions.

godfeels upd8 

@pochapal what do you mean days shit took like 8 goddamn months

(eight lol)

godfeels upd8 

@fenderjess dalkjsdlkdjslkjdlk i meant to say months. listen. months are technically a collection of days my point still stands!
