you guys have no idea how insanely relieving it is to post this and not be met by five hundred thousand literal children trying to debate me on why the epilogues are morally bad because jade is a sex pest in them...
but to be real i have SEEN the argument that like roses definition asks you to decide which one is canon and which one isnt. ive seen people dismiss the candy route because they took rose's argument at face value. but like..... thats not.... how the epilogues work! they wouldnt present both options to us if you could just... ignore one half of it, lol. and thats what makes it so cool!
theres SO much i can say just in general about the epilogues, theyre genuinely my favorite part of homestuck, i have so many thoughts and ideas about them
