Oh, this question came up at exactly the right time :DD
If you're familiar with Homestuck, I highly highly highly recommend checking out TheWertSearch's read-through of it; even aside from the joy of seeing someone react to the story for the first time, she's analysing it heavily as she goes and really brilliantly insightful, absolutely carrying on the fandom's legacy of theorising in a way that really brings me back to the days of the MSPA forums!
And I say it was well-timed, because do you know what page she reached just the other day?
>[S] Cascade.
In preparation for this liveblog I thought, well: why not rewatch the video myself?
y'all.
it has not aged a single fucking DAY.
Reaaching the end, I had tears in my eyes. It's still just so fucking absolutely unbelievably cool, and I don't know any other word to sum it up!!! To have seen the comic and the characters grow over time, the way the plot all came together at this point to create such unbelievable moments of both awesomeness and plot-twisting horror, the sheer quality of the designs and animations and art and music...!
I don't think there's ever been a canon moment that absolutely just bowled me over, knocking me flat on my feet, like Cascade did, even all these years later. Probably there never will be!!
If you did read it back in the day, I invite you to watch it again and Remember. And if you never did...? Well, there were a lot of thing said back then about people who watched Cascade first. And, like: obviously the magnitude of the flash will be even greater if you experience it as intended (or as close as possible now that the comic's ended). But it sure says something about this flash's ability to convert new people to the canon, right? And if that's the result, I sure ain't complaining!!
