jade is the best!
lmafoo yea i do love the epilogues but the characters have definitely, uh, grown up a lot. with jade maybe its particularly stark because we dont see as much of her post-3 year timeskip as we do with other characters. i definitely try to write jade more similar to her personality in homestuck proper but the narration in the homestuck epilogues describing jades thought process in a more scientific way is something that has always kind of stuck with me and i do try to emulate that idea to an extent
also your comment + jade profile pic made me imagine some dialog that will probably never make it into the fic, so im just going to leave it here
GG: ddbjfjfd did you really memorize daves chumhandle??
GG: hello??
CG: OK, WOW, FIRST OF ALL, YOU HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
CG: I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS *HIS* CHUMHANDLE WHEN I READ THE NOTE!
CG: I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS THE CHUMHANDLE OF A POTENTIALLY CHARMING STRANGER, WHO HAD NEGLECTED TO STOP USING THE USERNAME HE MADE WHEN HE WAS PROBABLY A CHILD!
CG: AND THEN, WHEN I REALIZED IT BELONGED TO THAT DUMBASS, WHO WAS PROBABLY USING IT FOR SOME DUBIOUS "IRONIC" PURPOSES OR, GOD FORBID, ACTUALLY THOUGHT IT WAS "COOL,"
CG: IT HAD ALREADY WEDGED ITSELF INTO MY BRAIN LIKE A GODDAMN TUMOR OF ASININITY, LEAVING ME WITH THE CURSE OF BEING PERIODICALLY REMINDED, EVERY TIME I OPEN PESTERCHUM, OF JUST HOW GODDAMN STUPID IT IS POSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE TO BE.
GG: hehe wow youre reminded *every* time you open pesterchum??
anyways, i think the "lady doth protest too much" thing applies here lol
Comment on man, maybe writing alternian titles actually is easier
