Something depressingly comforting about Kontextmaschine's passing is that in its relatively youthful suddenness we all know about it. He literally posted after his death, having reblogs queued up, we all noticed his absence and someone online even prompted the events to confirm his death. In that sense his arc is complete here.
For most of us it won't be like that. We will make our last post long before our deaths, as life sweeps us up and interests change and entropy ticks off "the reasons you are here" one by one. If the site even survives to begin with, of course, and an empty bank account doesn't simply plunge the entirety of this into the void.
By the time we actually die we most likely will have been gone too long for such a thing to even be noticed. No one will be left who would even know to ask "what happened to [name], anyway?"

Holy crap I completely forgot I attempted to download the entire Unus Annus channel right before it got deleted. I just found an old hard drive in my desk I forgot I even had, and like - dude. I have no idea how many videos are on here but it HAS to be in the triple digits, including thumbnails. This is friggin' insane.

finding good homestuck fanart and then realizing it was posted in 2012-15 by a long since deactivated blog is like you just picked up a child’s handmade doll out of an ancient wreckage. abruptly confronted with death and beauty and innocence all at once

a quick-ish redraw of an odd childhood character of mine (the original shall never see the light of day again, i am sorry).
the first time i layed my eyes upon it in years i decided to use it as a test subject for rendering from light lineart atop a dark background :)
also. hair. gah. what is that.

So it's been established as of s2 ep 39 that Dude appears to take a different form for every person - specifically, he seems to be a humanization of the sources of anxieties integral to each person's respective experiences with teenagerhood.
What do we think about Grant seeing Dude covered in blood and shaking from killing an unseen chimera. What do we think about Nicky seeing Dude torn two ways in the throes of a never-ending identity crisis. What do we think about Sparrow seeing Dude making himself so small, trying to be everything to everyone except himself. What do we think about Lark seeing Dude with static pouring from his eyes, dripping from the knife in his hand.
What do we think Willy sees (What do we think Terry Jr. would have seen).
What do we think.
