In topic: "Given how much Dirk and Vriska's "sins" get compared on a regular basis..."

I also think it's worth pointing out that on the other side of this whole topic on who really controls the narrative of Homestuck, Calliope is also there who has an equal amount of control over the narrative but who wants the rest of them to be able to stop Dirk so that they may go about their lives without someone else interfering. I don't exactly think its fair to say that Calliope is just as controlling as Dirk or whatever, because she's only doing this in response to him retroactively changing things about the way the story was playing out.


Calliope only took control because someone else decided they should hold the reigns over the story. I think she is of the opinion that people should just exist as they are (No one should "leave the cave" if they don't want, and forcing others to leave the cave is cruel. This was another point in plato's hypothetical as well.)N


Ultimately I think what will happen is that Dirk will lose relevancy as the plot leaves his control and he isn't able to be the focus of it anymore, even though he's got his fingers in just about ever facet of the characters lives, there are 4 wild cards that are unaccounted for that are also coming straight for him that might just ruin the plans he has set up. I know the idea of Dirk becoming a Villain is something he'd want, but I think the real karma coming for him is being irrelevant and made to be forgotten, a character that gets left by the wayside even though he has so much 'control' over the story and can literally make people think about him, sometimes Stories really do just run off on their own. And sometimes they'll leave YOU behind.


(Calling it now he will reenact the scenes where Hussie isn't even in his writers rooms and is just going crazy popping up in random spots T_T Death of the author but like part 2 I guess...)
