Thoughts on a Homestuck reread
Nov. 15th, 2010 02:50 pmNon spoilery thoughts: it holds up really well, a lot of stuff that made no sense to me the first time is clearer now and the timey wimey stuff fits together very cleverly. Plus, the stuff I don't like is easier to skim over (bah, ableism) I think once all the timelines have finished looping around each other I'll have to read the last Act or so again to get it straight, unless we get a nice summary with timelines or something.
I realised on the reread that the reason I stopped a few months ago was I got sick of all the exposition in the part I was up to (just after the second prototyping of John's sprite). So of course when I started again I'd forgotten it all and kept thinking "Derse? Prospit? WTF are they talking about?"
And I am slowly learning all the symbols of the zodiac! (I have always had issues with them for some reason)
( Spoilers! )
