On one hand, they directly conflict with trans headcanons that I had that I felt really elegantly fit in with canon, as well as conflicting with my own mental model of how the Homestuck universe worked in some particular ways.

On the other hand, I liked them a lot, they addressed some gripes I had with the original webcomic and they were thoroughly enjoyable. They also directly confirmed the theories I had for the ending of Homestuck.

They lead into Homestuck 2, which really disappointed compared to the epilogues...

TLDR: Yeah, go read the epilogues

Wouldn't these not have as strong of a timestamp? My understanding is that the only benefit of notarizing """on a blockchain""" is that there are a lot of copies of the database everywhere with the same timestamp, and that there are some blockchain-based enotaries out there?

I don't mean this rhetorically, I've never actually used a notary (electronic or otherwise) so this is a gap in my knowledge (I don't know what to search for to fill that)

i would only use an NFT if i really really needed to notarize something with a difficult-to-break timestamp and if i wanted that i'd do it on ethereum and on bitcoin

the fact that nft people don't understand this and that the big NFT platforms can revoke things tell me that this won't actually work

how will i prove things to people? imagine the year 2060 "hey you can see the SHA256 digest of my patent on this block from 30 years ago if you download the entire 30 TiB blockchain" and they say "what the hell is a Block Chain. go Fuck yourself" and they sentence me to space execution
