I had a truly terrifying nightmare that Craig from South Park was canonically made into a Homestuck. If you think this is too outlandish to happen in CURRENT YEAR, keep in mind that Matt and Trey now have kids and, as said before, Gen Z is miraculously somehow the last bastion of Homestuck fandom. Matt and Trey clumsily trying to tackle niche subcultural topics in generation Z will probably be more and more common as they lean harder into "dad" territory and run out of things to do the semi-ironic backtracking of provocative shit for and also because politics now are simultaneously both too boring and beyond parody (at least in the classic South Park style of "HERP A DERP IM SILLY- AND EXTREMIST")
I'm all for it, honestly. Would probably feel like the Golden Age of South Park. Plot unfortunately hinges around of course, a Not!MOBA, think Battlerite, that's running for a limited amount of time because WP can't be bothered to keep the servers up (again, do not tell me the reason why we haven't gotten a mobile Homestuck cardgame or autogame gacha is because it goes against their ethics or political beliefs. What Pumpkin has zero fucking scruples. and Clyde asks everyone to do a MAP over the gameplay commentary(no, not that kind. Stan does generic shit, Kyle does amateur South Park cut-outs, Kenny does sketch-y ninja shit, and Cartman puts in zero effort and just puts live action eyes and mouths over puppets. There's a Bro remark about this and Cartman is understandably baffled.) So again, going hard into the zoomer pandering. It's not like anyone else watches South Park these days. Well, them and gay shippers (not mutually exclusive.)
Half of the episode is also dedicated to how inept What Pumpkin is (Some line where Kyle goes "Why the fuck are all the characters talking about the new projects instead of talking to each other?") as a company with superficial jokes about Homestuck (such as parody user and troll names) because I feel like if Matt and Trey read Homestuck, at this point, they would either unironically like it ("my kids like it and some of it was funny i guess i just dont get it because im not the target audience" like the Pewdiepie thing) or hate it so much that they'd dedicate an entire season to making fun of it (because serialization brainworm.)
Something something, Craig makes a reference to Make Love, Not Warcraft when asked why he didn't invite Tweek to play with him ("You guys remember how much he freaked out when we all played Warcraft together? He's not good with videogames." "No." "Come on, that was like... months ago. Or something") and Craig wins his Prospit and Derse split hoodie (the fact that shit doesn't exist proves that What Pumpkin doesn't even know how to pander right) and says "If I could die twice and it not matter, that would make me soooooo happy." Boom. There's you real Chat.GPT South Park episode. Directly from my sleeping and half-asleep brain. Sponsored by: Inderal.
I think I'm going to post this on the one board that consistently has Homestuck and South Park threads up in 2023.
