I really like how in the bad end we just did a thematic full circle (?) Like, we ended up doing the exact same thing as Vriska and Dirk. Also I like how the MSPA Reader accidentally called themselves out on their “Friendship without putting thought into it” thing
In this volume, MSPAR learns the valuable lesson that, as much as their personalities invite it, trying to improve Page players is an exercise in extreme frustration and hurt feelings. Remember: it's okay to judge your friends, but your friends shouldn't be projects. Or at least not done-in-one-day projects. Should've learned that from Eridan. As both fun and depressing as it is to see Jake's limitless blind Hope ignite the Reader's Rage aspect, it's interesting that the episode of the most famous Hope player would smash the Reader with a hard dose of reality, both in how the Reader's ability to improve things is somewhat limited, and in how they don't always clean up the mess their powers leave behind. And yet, thanks to Jake, Jade's faith (or should I say, Hope) in the Reader is restored, and they can continue to be friends with the Beta humans. Hope can blind you to your problems, but can also mend needless wounds. I also like how this volume draws parallels between Dirk and Jake, and Vriska and Tavros. Obviously it's not the same (Dirk never even figuratively broke Jake's legs and then mind-controlled him into kissing him; although AR arguably did something similar to the latter), but at the same time it's important to note that Dirk has, as he himself would be the first to admit, control issues when dealing with others. Especially when that other is so hesitant to express his true feelings. That's kind of the reason I've always had trouble shipping Dirk/Jake; we've seen how it went, and it went poorly. It's also the reason why I love the end of Jake's arc in the Candy Epilogue; he finally realizes that instead of letting others "improve" him, he needs to take the reins and improve himself. Because as it turns out, always just going with things ain't no way to live for either you or the people you think you're keeping happy. A shame that Dirk was possessed and then (in that timeline) killed by his Lord English-tainted fragments before he got to see that version of his ex...
Hell yeah! Aromantic Jake! I forgot a lot about the comic, but I didn't forget that!!! Glad to see that the writers didn't either, despite the fact that most of the fandom did...
Jake English has been theorized to be Joey and Jude's father, of course within a timeline different from Homestuck. There are plenty of uncanny coincidences and similarities. I don't really have a list though.
@PotionWitchSharoo to add to this, didn't Jade at some point in the comic say that her mail goes through an address located in Hauntswitch or something like that? I remember Hauntswitch was mentioned at least
Ok so the gist of it is that Hussie had hidden signed toblerones all over the world, and whoever found them got a wish granted by the What Pumpkin team, up to and including retconning canon. One fan found one of them and used their wish to make Vriska retroactively a trans girl. Something similar happened with John too, except that now (s)he had dysphoria and didn't realize it.
@@zeeoh5466 I knew the toblerone story was about John becoming June, never heard anything about vriska being involved with it though, was there a second toblerone?

MSPA Reader: Hey, would you like to make some changes to live a better life?
Jake: Well yes but actually no
That's it. That's the volume in a nutshell.
I really like how in the bad end we just did a thematic full circle (?) Like, we ended up doing the exact same thing as Vriska and Dirk. Also I like how the MSPA Reader accidentally called themselves out on their “Friendship without putting thought into it” thing
Jade: Isn't there anything you always wanted to do but couldn't do it with one person?
I don't like where this is going-
including what jake says after that

@PotionWitchSharoo I had watched his video, that's why I'm so convinced it is an alternative Jake. I love his videos, they're so insightful.

is Roxy for sure next? in canon we had to choose did we have some form of confirmation I missed
Probably Roxy next. Because of Dirk's current narrative control in the newest Homestuck stuff, it's assumed he'll be last.
