Yeah, I know you were depressed and tired, and grew to hate the story and the characters. But at that point, you just had ONE JOB, and then you'd never have had to touch it ever again.
You could just show Caliborn/Lord English getting killed or locked up somewhere forever or otherwise defeated just like the Condesce and Bec Noir. And that's it. Done. You can leave it for good, part with it forever, and move on with your life. Let it go.
You chose to antagonize the readers for no good reason and release the epilogues that don't work as a conclusion and a lacklustre attempt at the sequel that doesn't work as the continuation instead. Nice trainwreck at the end of the line and at zero speed, bro. How the hell did you even manage that.
Homestuck Vol 10 album felt like the conclusion and the farewell. Collide/Act 7/Credits, despite their undeniable epicness, didn't.
Fuck you, Andrew Hussie.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. But also fuck you.
Oh, and in before "you're just bitching about epilogues because they don't meet your expectations"
Yeah. I know. Homestuck has always been about flirting with the reader and subverting reader's expectations.
However, much like in romantic relationships, where there's difference between flirting and... uh... <a content warning tag you can guess>, there's difference between playfully subverting expectations and outright betraying them.
Both ostensibly have similar purposes. But one of them promises the receiving party a good time, and the other one leaves them with a lifelong trauma and a bad taste in their mouth. There are right and wrong ways you can go about the goals you set.
And I would say, if a big part of your fandom feels unwelcome for even having any expectations about your work, ever - you chose wrong.
