re: about divorcing the idea of BC/epilogues being *the* official continuation of homestuck:

i like to think about BC as just any other fanfic, a possible path taken for these characters. candy and meat were just one of a billion ways the comic could have continued, these ones just so happened to be the one a lot of people are most familiar with and talk about. so practically no different from any other ao3 fic. i read the epilogues and didnt care much for them and have a pretty vast memory so thats how i think of it.
the name also helps with this idea, seeing as "beyond canon" implies well, this is past official canon so take the events that happen during and after epilogues with a grain of salt.
