Genuinely I think it's one of those things that not only enhances Homestuck proper's reading experience with how much is clearly derived from Wizardy Herbert, but I say with full clarity to anybody who hasn't checked out Wizardy Herbert and is reading this, it's probably one of Hussie's best works. The ideas and concepts it introduces, alongside the twists are actual fucking masterclasses. For any erisol fans reading this, Herbert x Russet is like the progenitor of erisol considering Herbert is for sure a primitive proto-sollux and Russet is essentially just Eridan but cooler.
