I just don’t want them to touch it. 

You know? 

Y’all know I’ve not really been following hiveswap super closely. This sinking feeling in my gut has almost nothing to do with that. This stupid fucking anxiety twisting up my guts is about Homestuck, it’s about sprawling weird gloriously complex hilarious and awful and great and foul and obscene and emotional and earnest and fucking gay as all goddamn get out HOMESTUCK. It’s about dave and rose and roxy and dirk and karkat and kanaya and meenah and found families and nature vs nurture and character arcs and fucking catharsis. 

It’s about how I was pretty much at peace with Homestuck being done and over and being satisfied with what I got and happy that my grievances with its ending didn’t end up ruining my perception of its overall goodness, that there was a piece of media I loved this much in my life again, it’s about how I was okay with what seemed to be happening and now who fucking knows?

It’s about Homestuck having a multi million dollar company making news posts under an inaccessible corporate name while the actual people, the interesting and imperfect but invested and very talented and overwhelmingly queer group of real actual people who have worked very hard to keep the IP alive are all slapping their resumes on twitter and moving on under an NDA that ensures we’ll probably never know what happened

It’s about how now there’s this looming worry in my soul that this company won’t just leave it the fuck alone

just leave it the fuck alone. Just don’t fucking touch it. Please just don’t fucking touch it I know how corporations treat queer stories and I would way way way way rather never know where the fucking masterpiece fits in with our current understanding of canon than have some fucking soulless company roll in and give reddit everything they fucking want
