Drives home the point about the fadings of the old gods of the internet more than anything else I've read on this site in 2020.<br /><br />Of course, the internet is forever a beast of the present moment and no other. Self-referentiality out the wazoo. It could never exist without a pop-culture meme-culture context; Homestuck itself is nothing when detached from the stereotypes it parodies.<br /><br />I suppose this would fit better on one of your internet-decay articles themselves, but what can I say? I'm operating under the assumption of your present moment. The interrelatedness of a website. Flight Rising's direct message conversations are carried out spread across two author pages, legible only to the senders and conversationally rendered only in the moments they are transferred. Strip (or bury) the context and there's nothing left. I claim to hate this kind of society, yet here I am participating in it. How interesting. Goes to show Stallman-Twain was right about the means of [content] production. Of course, you'd understand none of that without the reading I assume you've done. A different kind of cultural assumption. By the way, I'm glad you enjoyed Detective Pony, or I would have recommended it here. Sorry to get all parasocial, I just read a twitter thread and skimmed a website. Nothing you didn't consent to the presence of by posting it. Not that it didn't snag on the corners of the ways I'm wrong in the head on the way in and out of your head and mine. You are sitting in my chair, after all.sabinehttp://safe-in-the-steep-cliffs.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56230747868041478.post-24755032351305149532013-08-09T18:13:59.005-07:002013-08-09T18:13:59.005-07:00Like Skye, I completely enjoyed this article.

The way our reality (Hussie's reality)is a critical part of the universe wherein the narratiove take place, not in the traditional way where the autor in unknown to their characters and writes the events like a normal author, but in this way where they auto insert themselvers and their powers as the authors makes them literal gods of the instory universe. And the dynamic way he chose to tell his story is what amazes me and i admire of him: that he doesn't follow the standard formats, he made his own, and it works marvelously!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56230747868041478.post-81114116984209297332013-08-03T20:54:16.644-07:002013-08-03T20:54:16.644-07:00I thoroughly enjoyed your article!
