so im relatively new to hs, just read it this year, an im wondering where june came from? I havent read the epilouges, so any furthur exploration of johns (gonna b refering 2 him as john cause thats the way i see him) identity gender wise has been lost on me. But from what i can tell junes just a really popular headcanon? basically fannon? im jus wondering where that even came from?

Late reply! But if I remember it actually came from a fan who won some toblerone contest hussie made hahah basically hussie made some contest where he hid toblerone chocolates and whoever found it can make something cannon in homestuck or have a wish granted and a fan later found one and chose to make the head cannon june cannon in the epilogues of whatever so in some universe june is cannon however in the main story it wouldn’t be

other commenter basically said all that needed to be said but i wanted to add my own two cents, a lot of people have pointed out that john's masculinity really comes from his father inadvertently implanting the idea of what a man should be in his mind rather than because he genuinely and organically feels strongly like a guy, so i think there's that. obviously there isn't really any moment in homestuck where john sits down and says "dave and/or rose and/or jade i am struggling with my gender" and i doubt we'll get that until much later in hs^2

we're expecting june to become canon sometime in hs:bc, but as of right now, it isn't narratively a thing. homestuck proper ended with june not being a thing, but it is hussie's word that june is canon to the story. they also said that everything regarding every character is canon in one world or another, so take that as you will!
i will say that the june headcanon is really really precious to transfems. they were able to find some narrative bases and justifications for why she could be canon, and so hussie declaring that she's canon really made them happy.
