I feel like on some level, Homestuck is all about identity and your sense of self?

Like obviously in a literal sense, every character has more than one version of themselves - their dream self, their God tier self, their pre/post scratch self, self prototyped sprites, meeting yourself in a time loop, splinters of yourself, your Ultimate Self.

But I feel like in a more metaphorical sense, Homestuck is fundamentally about how your sense of self and the way you see yourself in the world changes as you grow up? Idk

#this probably doesnt make much sense im tired as hell #but honestly this just makes me even more pissed that davesprite and hal were sidelined to the extent they wete #hussie really created two characters PERFECT for exploring the concept of the self #the original version of someone who sacrificied their humanity and their place as the original - and maybe even their own sense of self #and someone artificially created to copy another persons self. they have all the same memories but do they really? #what happens when you lose your sense of self? when can you ever really claim to be yourself? who are you if you arent *you*? #but no we had to get funny catbird and sweaty horserobot #(im sorry davepeta i love you) #ugh #me.txt #homestuck #id be interested seeing other peoples thoughts on this #im too tired to expand on it rn
