reviving this. i somewhat accidentally read the epilogues in what I like to call the "rose lalonde way." I started meat, and then switched over to reading all of candy at That Point With Rose, and then went back and finished all of meat. I don't think I could really separate the two as a result, as I read candy as part of meat. I also, like lyrichartwell, think the epilogues are just fucking incredible and probably the best part of homestuck, and I've felt that way since they first dropped.

candy kind of broke my brain a bit because I went into it with some pretty heavy preconceptions that got played with fantastically. I was fully on board the june train, what she was thinking just made Sense to me, and it actually took a few years for me to fully process and accept the counterargument. really fantastic stuff, so if I had to choose one I'd probably go with candy.
