I personally cant bring myself to like or care about the candy timeline kids I just feel bad for their situations/ upbringing and don't really like the whole relationship thing going on with them I find it gross and they're boring to me. But one thing I feel everyone glosses over ab yiffy in particular is the inclusion of longstocking in her name. I say this because pippi longstocking is a real fictional character I remember watching the 97' show ab her when I was a kid so the longstocking part of yiffy is something that either adds to the absurdity of yiffys existence but also pippi is also originally a swedish BOOK series about a young girl with superhuman strength notably being able to lift up her horse friend with one hand (it all goes back to horses) her monkey, and her disdain for authority in the town she lives in and refusal to grow up (more on the wikipedia page for it) and her two friends she meets in the village. but what I find notable in just a quick wiki of her is that she doesn't grow up. the story of Homestuck is definetly all about subverting societal conventions and norms within the frame of the narrative in og homestuck but its still all about growing up. pippi and yiffy can most definitely share in the aspect of refusal to grow up after all many stories are about "growing up" but when you see what becomes of peope when they "grow up" through all the shitty adults in your life you definetly wouldn't want to and dirk needs a story to write yiffy is the antithesis of dirks goal of control and maintaining an ongoing story and what better way than constant character development via "growing up" (or a whole new session and world with new kids that will have to go through this system all over again) also as of the recent update with vriska taking the candy kids to the meat timeline it also goes back to pippi as pippi in the books had pirates for parents before having to live alone with her horse and monkey in the village with only a pouch of gold.vriska in this case could e the pirate parent bringing yiffy to the village(meat timeline) and causing the adults and authority figures there(dirk) trouble and unable to do anything about her.
