Forgotten/Underappreciated Characters

[bathtimebird]

Dad Egbert and Dad Crocker. Complete badasses who can kick dersite ass and love their children to death. I'm still mad John never got to reunite with his dad, all he got was Jane's dad, who didn't even know him and probably wondered why the fuck his dad was a 16 year old kid with blue pajamas. He also had his own wallet! I bet that confused the hell out of him but oh well.

If AR got the ring instead of that useless courier then Jack would be filled with holes by the end of Cascade and LE would be next on the list. Rest in peace dude. Then there's characters who just straight up disappeared like B2 Draconian Dignitary or Sawtooth and Squarewave.

The entire carapacian race, mainly

They're such an important part of SBURB and they were literally thrown aside so the alpha kids could talk about their teenage drama. The one carapacian everyone remembers, WV, is reduced to a silly comic relief that does absolutely nothing and that Dave and Karkat pretend is their small child they have to care for and protect. And when they get to Earth C, WV gets to rule a carapacian KINGDOM. D'you know how insulting that is for his character arc?! The republican revolutionary who named himself the MAYOR because he hated KINGS and MONARCHY? Jesus. He died and we don't even get closure on how and why. Probably out of spite for these squishy-skinned people who don't bother to listen to him

And the injustice doesn't even stop there, on the snapchat upd8s, Bec Noir being basically equated with Slick and given the leadership of the Felt is such a disservice to Slick's character. He didn't fight an exact replica of himself from another universe and face his internal demons just so a dumb one armed fool can wobble in and take his place of leadership as if they were the exact same person

Yeah I'm salty, a little bit.

This hits a hard bullseye on everything from Spades Slick to WV to PM to DD, it feels like DD and CD in the Alpha session were even wholesale forgotten which I thought was mega weird. F to Mayonaka's Pendant too.

I like to think the Four Kingdoms formed in the 5000 years between Can Town and the characters returning, because it hurts less to imagine the Mayor died in vain than to think he ended up betraying his democratic ideals and became a King.

The Writ Keeper is without question the most underappreciated character in HS. Dude literally dies within a minute of his introduction!

But in terms of major characters I think the most cast aside is Feferi. Every little bit of her character is recycled into someone else?

Cool Fish Pisces Troll? Meenah.
Mistress of Death and the Afterlife? Aradia.
Sollux's girlfriend? Aradia (at least Aradia was Sollux's girlfriend first.)
Heiress to the Condesce who wields a trident? Jane (and also Meenah to some extent.)

Feferi deserved better.

Oh my god, i have a lot.
okay so basically all carapaces everywhere but especially aimless renegade, who sacrificed himself for WV and seems to have just been completely forgotten by everyone! Maybe if we had gotten to inhabit the dear Mayor's perspective again we could have had him remembering AR, but that's not what happened and I'm salty
Also Feferi! Seerofheart, I don't think I could've said it better myself.
With how little people talk about Aranea, it's easy to forget how much of a presence she was in the story for a while, even though she's basically the reason game over happened.
But because I'm me, I must say that I think that the cherubs are the most underappreciated as the beating heart of homestuck's story. I'm glad that some recent stuff has reinvigorated interest in them, if nothing else, but still. I miss them

Bill was right

[Cheshire_Creeper]

Leprechauns.
Where are my Leprechauns.
These bad-at-their-jobs bois have more power than most of Paradox Space,
Are basically a traveling circus for Jujus, the most powerful things in said Universe,
And their antics are pretty darn funny,
Plus more lore!
BUT NOPE. NOBODY CARES. ONLY ME.

>Liking the leprechauns
but why

BECAUSE THEY ARE COOL AND AWESOME AND STUPID AND FUNNY AND I LOVE THEM AND THEY CAN BE USED TO TALK ABOUT THE POWERS OF OTHERS SIMILAR TO THEM
THEY ARE ALSO GANGSTERS AND HAVE PUNNY NAMES

[MorganMustDie]

Bill was right

Bill saw Hussie's unprofessionalism coming years in advance
he tried to warn us and we did not listen

The Felt were great, and had the best Intermission if not the best part of Homestuck.

(unintentionally) following suit with what a couple other people here are saying: definitely tavros. because not only does he not really get any sort of character arc that doesn't involve vriska in some way, NOTHINg GOOD REALLY EVER HAPPENS TO HIM. like aside from whatever weird crap vriska was manipulating him with, no one ever really loved or cared about him which actually sucks because he never did anything wrong :(

justice for tavros

i don't think the cherubs are really underappreciated within the fandom, but I always think it's a shame I see so many fewer fancherubs and such about. like wayyy b4 reading Homestuck I wuz familiar w/ the trolls appearance, but I think I only saw a picture of the cherubs like... once. it just strikes me as a shame because I think a lot of their world building is really fascinating and their story is one of the most interesting parts of Homestuck 2 me personally, so I wish they were a little more visible in how Homestuck is represented online. then again I got to read the cherubs part mostly unspoiled so that wuz kewl.
