Maybe you're getting Qrow and Raven's ideas mixed up? Like I said, at this point I'm starting to get canon and fanon mixed up a bit (probably moreso for Raven who has so many redemption fics it's not even funny) so I'm not entirely sure what she said about it tho I am certain that Raven as a whole is a fucking mess (even if I do have a soft spot for what she could have been).
I never ended up finishing Homestuck (lost the time during the gigapause and Flash being discontinued made returning to it a problem) but from what I remember Act 4 is where Hussie stopped taking reader input and started putting the story more on rails, but I'd say it stays irreverent with the quirky humor everywhere. After all, one character had to be taught to use the caps lock key tumut
I honestly don't know either of their opinions on the shapeshifting thing, so it's possible.
Re: Homestuck, the unofficial collection is a really good way to read it with all the original games and cutscenes preserved. It also has Hussie's prior works, including Problem Sleuth, which is very underrated. Good way to finish it, if you've any interest, though the official Homestuck website also has all the flash content through a flash emulator. There was a lot of drama surrounding the website throughout the years but it seems it's settled on returning to it's original form more or less, plus flash emulator. Homestuck is definitely one of my all time favorite series, despite its problems.
Actually that's good to hear; I remember hearing that the website became damn-near unusable after the Viz acquisition (it was Viz, wasn't it?). My litmus test would probably have to be seeing if [S]Cascade still looks as intended -- one of the things I loved about Homestuck was how it pushed artistic boundaries of the medium and I remember [S]Cascade in particular growing in such a way that couldn't be replicated in a simple video format.
Actually, on that note, one day I've got to return to Unsounded. It was a much simpler webcomic (being more traditionally-laid-out comic pages with a less insane story/setting) but also broke out of its pages in such a way that only webcomics can do.
If you ever decide to pick Homestuck back up, please let me know! I may have been understating how much I love Homestuck!
Unsounded looks pretty decent from the few pages I saw of it.
Let me tell you about Homestuck...
Prepare for a new wave of "Vriska did nothing wong" discourse.
Joking aside, I actually never ended up seeing much of the fandom because in talking to the friend who introduced me to it, he specifically said "it would be like walking into a room where everyone is talking about their favorite flavor of Kool-aid while you've yet to discover water". I am kind of hopeful for the upcoming animated series, tho.
Tbf I never really got involved in the fandom either. I did try, just never stuck it out. I'm not usually one for fandoms in general, I consume the media and talk about it with my friends if they've also seen it and that's about it.
