my favorite is act 6 act 6 intermission 4 (i think thats the one anyway) f1x th1s. retcon is my favorite arc and no one appreciates it like i do 💔. its my favorite part of the story both emotionally, narratively, thematically, and everyone writes it off as a copout or hussie writing herself into a corner. but really to me the entirety of f1x th1s is about terezi. her going back and getting june to help fix things terezi sees as mistakes shes made. making it so she doesn't get involved in any romantic relationships with boys (which reads to me as an implicit confirmation of terezi as a lesbian), preventing her from killing vriska, and preventing her from curing her blindness and removing a part of herself she considers core to who she is. its beautiful. and i think thematically, the world being doomed if vriska isn't around is interesting thematically because if we think of homestuck as a game of pool, vriska is the 8 ball. and if the 8 ball is sunk, the game is over. and that fits in with act 7, as the imagery there positions a role reversal in which vriska is the cue stick, and lord english is the 8 ball, standing in front of the pocket (the black hole), as she raises up the treasure, which initially appears as a white orb (the cue ball) before manifesting as the house.


it's all just very compelling and i really like it
