FOR THE LONGEST TIME I REFuSED TO READ THE EPILOUGES BECAuSE EVERYONE I HEARD TALK ABOuT IT WOuLD TALK ABOuT HOW AWFuL IT IS AND HOW OuT OF CHARACTER BuT HONESTLY. I DONT THINK ANYONE IS *THAT* OuT OF CHARACTER...(BESIDES JANE)

DIRK GREW uP ALONE ON WITH THE MINDSET OF "I cant trust anyone what needs to be done so I have to do it myself." HE ALSO HAS A LACK OF EMPATHY. NOT TO SAY HE HAS NO EMPATHY AT ALL OR HE DOESNT CARE ABOuT HIS FRIENDS BuT THE WAY HE GREW uP CAuSED HIM TO BE LIKE THAT. HES A VERY 'THE ENDS JuSTIFY THE MEANS. ALWAYS.' KIND OF GuY. YOu SEE THIS ASPECT OF HIM TuRNED uP TO 11 WITH BRO STRIDER BuT ITS ALWAYS BEEN THERE. SO I DONT THINK uLT DIRK IS THAT FAR FETCHED OF AN IDEA. ESPECIALLY IF HE KNOWS EVERY VERSION OF HIMSELF, INSIDE AND OuT. I WOuLDNT EVEN CALL uLT DIRK A BAD GuY. HES A FuCKING ASSHOLE BuT uLTIMATELY HE JuST DOESNT WANT TO BE NONCANON. HE'S DOING THIS FOR ALOT OF HIS FRIENDS, EVEN IF HE'S GOING ABOuT IT THE WRONG WAY.

WITH JANE. HOLY SHIT DONT GET ME STARTED ON EPILOuGE JANE CROCKER. SHES REALLY THE ONLY CHARACTER I THINK THEY RuINED. :( THATS NOT MY JANEY... BESIDES HER, EVERYTHING ELSE IS WRITTEN MASTERFuLLY. I THINK THE CONCEPTS THEY TRY TO TACKLE LIKE NONCANON VS. CANON IS SOMETHING FOR YOuR BRAIN TO REALLY CHEW ON. I LIKE IT. I ALSO THINK THE WRITING FOR THE CHARACTERS IS AMAZING AND IS REALISTIC TO WHAT WOuLD ACTuALY HAPPEN (IN THE MEAT PATH OFC). I ESSSPPPECCCIAALLY LOVE JADE HARLEY IN THE EPILOuGES. SHES WONDERFuL. I THINK ITS EXACTLY HOW A GROWN uP JADE WOuLD ACT, VICES AND ALL.

THOuGH THE MEAT PATH IS OBVIOuSLY MY FAVORITE I THINK THERE IS BEATuTY IN BOTH PATHS. WATCHING THE CHARACTERS BECOMING uNDONE IN THE CANDY PATH, LETTING THEIR PROBLEMS CONSuME THEM WITH A LOOMING FEELING THAT EVERYTHING IS EVER SO SLIGHTLY *WRONG* IS WRITTEN JAW DROPPINGLY PERFECt in MY OPINION. I DONT THINK I CAN EXACTLY CONVEY HOW MuCH I LOVE THE EPILOuGES AND WHY. ITS ALL THE LITTLE THINGS ABOuT IT THAT ADD uP TO BE GRANDIOuS.
