i’m not even interested in hellaverse as they like to call it but i have followed its production and criticism cycles. i am going to preemptively predict that when the pilot comes out, homestuck fans will get mad at it for adding too much too quickly (failing to remember what the idea of a pilot is. mirroring the pilot releases of vivzies shows.) casual enjoyers/new viewers will think it’s cool.

i do think while the pilot will be indicative of style and animation prowess spindleroo is willing to perform, it will not be a good tell for how the show would actually look episode by episode. i am excited to see it myself.

on the matter of vivziepop’s involvement: it’s really a toss-up how much of her will show through, how much of the criticism will be scapegoated onto her, and whether it actually matters in any negative way that shes involved. if we don’t see the mismanagement she has shown in the past i will be content to let her move on into a better future.

mostly, i just want the show to have fun and be fun to watch.
