So, years ago, when I read Homestuck at the ripe old age of 16, I read homestuck on my phone. Because I read homestuck on my phone, I couldn't play games like Openbound, so I missed a LOT of context. one of them being about Gamzee. I was in for a surprise when I saw him meeting Caliborn in a god tier outfit.


When I first read it, I was like, "was he secretly god tier the whole time? yes his wings fell off, but he survived being shot by a machine gun. is the 'clowns are indestructible' excuse true or bullshit? is he actually immortal?" and honestly, at the time, I thought that schrödinger's godtier question was really interesting and I had fun with the mystery.


And then later at some point I went on the wiki i learned he was "fake god tier" and honestly i was annoyed that my misinterpretation wasn't true cus I thought it was way better at the time. Guess I just like ambiguity lol.


Just wanted to share this and to know if anyone else made this same mistake haha.
