the best thing in all of homestuck is when we saw what the kids would be like if they didn’t play sburb and grew up, jade, rose, and dave all became dedicated anti fascists who literally rebelled against a dictatorship and murdered important members of the regime, while john literally was just A Stand Up Comedian
alpha john was probably a saboteur, because that is the sweetest prank of all. he was just good enough never to get caught, in part because he doesn’t have the strilonde urge to stab one’s enemies in the eyes and ride their corpses down a waterfall
every time i see a post about homestuck i’m more and more confused and more scared to try and read it
it’s also good because it works the other way around. daves bro could have been less of an asshole, jades grandpa was a giant fucking dork rather than a super intimidating adventurer, roses mom was actually very sweet and legitimately wanted to bond with her and johns nana was a lot less fucking cryptic
