How do you personally feel about Yiffany being named Yiffany? Do you call them a different name? The sides of her name seem to be very split from “ don’t care, I think it’s funny “ or “ I hate the name and it’s disgusting “ and I find it interesting to know what people think! Hope this answer isn’t too bothersome 😁

The name is a big part of it. It is worth mentioning that Rose's comedic delivery of her full name's reveal in Chapter 8 was extremely funny to me, but it's more than that: it is what makes the character as extreme as it is. As the grand culmination of everything that makes the Candy timeline interesting (and everything that makes it worth trying to escape, which has been a clear goal for the characters since Chapter 16), Yiffy represents the deterioration of her parents' canonical integrity. She is the ultimate victim of what could be described as the official flanderization dimension, and she should not exist. Rose shouldn't have gone behind Kanaya's back. Rose and Jade shouldn't have named her that. Rose and Jade shouldn't have hid her from her family (like Jake) for the sake of a plot reveal. I hope this makes her angry. I hope she finds out about the nature of her reality and either has an existential crisis or finally understands things that have been upsetting and confusing her for so long, or both. I trust the current writers to deliver on at least one of these hopes.

#her deliberate controversiality also makes dirk see her as a threat which had me invested but the new team might drop that darn oh well #on a related note i'm glad the post-hiatus team dropped the chapter format because i think it was fucking up the pacing and more #homestuck beyond canon #yiffany longstocking lalonde harley #ruby harlonde #homestuck 2 #yiffy lalonde harley #homestuck #📑 #update: if that sarah zedig post from june 20 2023 i reread is true‚ then yea the chapter format was DEFINITELY downgrading the comic
