i like both, but i like candy slightly more

i do love the metanarrative fuckery of meat, especially dirks reveal (it's so good i still get goosebumps from it), but it goes off into another adventure (almost) right after the last one ended, with no retrospection on what they lived through

meanwhile candy stops and ponders my favorite question: you won. now what? how all characters process what happened, how they try to live "normal" lives, how society treats them, how they use their abilities in day-to-day routine, and how disagreements turn into planet-scale conflicts

+ i have to agree with karkat:
