hello. how would you like the danestors to be potrayed in homestuck proper.
Exactly as they are.
Maybe I'm a bit of a black sheep in this opinion, but I just don't find the idea of changing the source material... All that compelling? Nor do I find it very... Productive.
The source material is what it is. It's a product of the writer, it's a product of the time, it's exactly as it should be and exactly as it intends to be. I find often that when most people say "I'd change X, Y, and Z about Homestuck", they're just taking the Hussie out of it, and removing the context of the corners of the Internet this was made on and for... And taking the Hussie out of Homestuck makes it a fundamentally different piece of fiction, as does removing the context of the time and place it was made in. If you wanted to read a piece of media that was not made by Hussie, then just... Read something else, you know? Something that isn't Homestuck, or an MS Paint Adventure. If you don't want to read Homestuck, then don't read Homestuck.
The Alpha Trolls are a very raw, concentrated encapsulation of Hussie's opinions and frustrations at the time. This is part of why I like them- I might not agree with all of Hussie's politics, but they did have things to say, and a lot of it was very interesting in its delivery. I wouldn't go back in time and write over the messages and writing of an author just because I didn't agree with everything they said, or how they said them. It's a nonissue, it totally ignores the concept of authorial intent, and it's just kinda bad analysis to me. It's a little lame. It's like asking your Fix-It Fic to be canon. This is what Hussie wrote, this is what Hussie intended to write, that's what's on the page and this has been the case for over a decade now. End of sentence.
If I don't agree with an opinion the author holds and injects into their writing, or the specific way that something is handled, I just relegate those thoughts to my own personal reinterpretations of the work and headcanon, rather than saying I'd change the actual work itself if given the opportunity. They're not my opinions, they're not how I'd go about writing that, and that's because they're not my opinions and it isn't my writing. That's fine. That's just the reality of not being the person who wrote any given piece of fiction. It happens. That's how things are.
That said, if you're interested to see what I would do with my own alternate versions of the Alpha Trolls placed in a new setting with similar-but-different-and-much-differently-handled issues, that's part of what my fanventure, Sovereignstuck, is about. Maybe you'd like it. Who knows!
It's still in it's early phases as far as serialization goes, but I do have plenty of writing on it on my blog here, and those few pages are up on MSPFA.

Hello my friends! I’m trying to spread the word around about a zine I’m a part of called Tome of Pacts.
Tome of Pacts is a collaborative volume that showcases the work of +50 artists and writers to create new and innovative patrons and warlocks, each of them with their own story. If you like warlocks and their creepy Patrons, then please check this out. There is so much amazing talent in this group of people, and I’m honored to be a part of it!
Link to the Kickstarter here. Please spread this around if you can. We are so close to our next goal!
