The Homestuck Epilogues
(2019) are a work for mature readers, including sensitive subjects.
They are a work of great empathy and surprisingly essential commentary
on these tough subjects, while maintaining the sudden flippancy and
tension-resolving absurd humor familiar to readers of Homestuck.
The
content warnings presented as follows should not be taken as a reason
not to read the work or negative commentary on the work, but are instead
intended as a guide for minors and those with traumatic triggers. These
individuals should discuss the content of The Homestuck Epilogues with a trusted adult before reading.
The
entire work contains canon-typical language (including gendered slurs
such as ‘bitch’ and ‘pussy’), violence, comic mischief, and joking
innuendo.
Chapter-by-chapter warnings follow. Meat’s warnings were compiled by Kate Mitchell. Candy’s warnings were compiled by Pip D.
