Interested to hear everyone's opinions on Homestuck: Beyond Canon, I'm talking epilogues and Homestuck^2. Do you like it? Do you think it's good? Do you think those are separate questions?
I'd also like to ask about your favourite and least favourite character in HS:BC and if this character is different to your favourite in canon? Do you enjoy the general direction of the Homestuck character's personality changes/development? Do you enjoy the new ones?=
Many questions to be asked.

TW//: Spoilers and that stuff.
To be honest, the epilogues are fine, that's all, but Candy is torture. I can understand Jane's xenophobia in Meat, since she doesn't know how troll culture and its reproduction works and prefers to take it easy, I understand it, but man, in Candy they make her a Nazi for no reason. Maybe because Dirk committed suicide and he is the character who has the most control, which makes Jane lose the feeling of control and decides to go to extremes, but they handled it very poorly. John is clearly the protagonist and most of the characters fade into the background and become terribly boring and bland. Meat, on the other hand, is clearly constant self-fellatio on Dirk's part. I mean, it's well done, it makes you want the arrogant narrator to shut up, but it's reading page after page knowing that everything will go according to Dirk's plan.
It has some interesting details and a bit of the post-humanism theme from Rose and Dave, but otherwise it's a boring read. The concept of epilogues is very artistic and poetic, but because of that they have sinned by being boring.
At least Terezi is still a good character, so.. Dunno, but I would love to hear someone's opinion on the Homestuck epilogues too, I often hear people criticizing it very strongly for the mischaracterization of the characters, but few positive opinions.
