REVISION
Working on it!
no subject
Re: REVISION
So, first off, I would like to request making an edit to the canon point. It's been some time since I've been neck-deep in Homestuck shit, so my understanding of time shenanigans has my head in a spin. John will be from the Act 6 Intermissions: specifically after his first year traveling on the Prospitian Battleship with Jade. So Act 6: Intermission 2. This means he is 14. I should have been more specific, I'm sorry guys.
Moving on with John's flaws!
As I mentioned in my main post, John is a bit naïve. Something that is pretty obvious from the very beginning of Act 1. This creates a passive nature that is consistent through his character growth. John seems to react to his surroundings in a very, very passive manner. I.E. despite knowing that the nature of SBURB has a very real effect on his universe, he doesn't seem to react to it as if the end of existence itself is right around the corner. While this hasn't necessarily created largely negative consequences, it suggests that he has a sort of sense of denial. If you were placed in an entirely foreign world, left to your own devices to only hope you can survive and create that grand prize to save the universe, wouldn't you... Oh, I don't know, make first priority to understand the mechanics of the game?
Yes. John barely knows the mechanics of the game. That hardly changes. It's made clear when John follows instructions on how to save Grimdark!Rose after she's mercilessly slaughtered by Bec Noir. He's given instructions by Vriska to kiss her and bring her back to life via Dreamself. A task that John blindly follows, and thank god it didn't lead the same direction Terezi had given him so early on in the game to face his Denizen at (literal) noob-status. John kisses Rose, brings her back, and seems to question the logic behind that with Karkat. Who proceeds to express how it blows his mind that John didn't even know a very simple mechanic that is used quite frequently in SBURB's movement.
Mind you, this happened well after Terezi misguided him. You would think after the scratch, John might become a bit more observant.
Now, this isn't to say that John is stupid. By no means. He has some air-headed qualities, but it's completely tied in to his absolutely pure, saturated positivity. SBURB is a game, yes. But a game with great power and influence on his existence. On the entire existence of everything. But John appears to mostly see it as a game. And only that. His idea that nothing could truly go wrong, because there can't possibly not be a way to win this game may suggest that he has a pretty hefty case of denial. His passive approach to the game is dangerous, considering that one wrong move could mean an ultimate loss for everyone. A risk, but not necessarily a failure in his character.
I would say that his passive, naïve nature does not necessarily impact his relationships negatively, per se. It seems like everyone who crosses John's path finds this an endearing trait of his. No one avoids making jabs at John's mentality, because he can handle being picked on and criticized pretty well. John is pretty aware of his optimism and passiveness, but he doesn't see the need to change it. His friends don't either. Everyone is in pretty solid agreement here that John is their leader, and a good one at that. Because of his qualities that seem to shine over a lot of their own complications. He's something to strive being, even if his positivity may or may not make him a bit empty-headed in a sense.
I hope that is enough! Fingers crossed!
