Re: LEAST FAVORITES

I vaguely recall the player once admitting they don't like the SRS stuff so much and just like playing out Karkat's more comedic tendencies.

So taken in context, I might agree, but I still really like reading them.

yeah, i kinda completely suck at the serious stuff. it's mainly a manifestation of my opinions about the canon and how to handle certain types of canon (comedic canons vs. more serious ones, how to keep true to the spirit of it-- hint: i usually play from comedic canons), but also a complete and utter suckitude at serious in general.

though, i think playing in Sing has gotten me a bit better at it! it's just always hidden in those really fuckin' long comment logs i tend to do. gotta hunt that shit down.

Yeah. People can take Homestuck super seriously all they want, but both Homestuck and MSPA in general have their roots in humor and it's still a huge part of the series.

Plus since Sing can't agree on a plot it's 90% slice-of-space-alien-life comedy anyway, so it fits.

Hhaha, yeah. Like, even when Tavros and Kanaya died, and you had the corpsesmooch combo-- something that could easily be perceived as an incredibly depressing moment in canon, it was executed in a humorous light. Because of that, I think that when given the choice between playing something as traumatic or humorous, I think you should lean towards humor, since that's more like canon? But that's my personal preference and thought processes.

also spoiler, i played in hetalia before homestuck, which had the same canon philosophy, except with waaaaay more sensitivity (since wow history can be incredibly fucked up).






god, i could talk about this all night, ahhahahaha. but i will spare you and stop here.
