Hey guys, new HSE! In this part 1 we look at the timeline of the mythical bunny, and consider the most beautiful human emotion…Friendship. But like, as a source of narrative power.

Does this look feel compelling? If not, what do you think the bunny represents? Let me know what you think! Hope you enjoy this video, and til next time,

Keep rising!

So it’s not directly in the text but I thought the fandom had more or less decided that ARquius shows up in the masterpiece because he was hiding inside of the bunny? The Lil Seb that Caliborn meets has one broken off ear and bright red Strider shades, visually evoking ARquius and we know from Aradiabot that sprites can possess robot bodies.

I don’t know about hiding inside the bunny, but it is quite possible Arquis is still connected to the bunny. The bunny also rusts and turns red so yeah i think the visual parallels are there, and I can imagine a mix Heir of Void/Prince of Heart being able to use the bunny as a passageway that way.

It’s kind of also entirely possible for a Void player to just Void-power their way there, though, so it’s kind of hard to say. I will say I think Lil Seb being involved in Arquis’ sudden appearance is the likeliest possibility. Potentially finding out more about that is one of many things I’m excited for about the ending.

That said, I can’t help but be a little sassy and mention I’m mostly not moved by what most of the fandom decides about Homestuck. That’s not relevant to this point and I’m glad you brought it up, I just want it on record 😛
