This Is Only That I Can Remember... I Think There Was More Too - Tumblr Posts
Candy epilogue is basically like trikster arc. (Basically mostly for Dirk but okay)
1) One of cherubims enjoys it: Candy timeline is obviously guarded by alt!Calliope, and Caliborn enjoyed seeing trikster arc. Also one of "authors" opposite them in that - Hussie telling Caliborn why trikster arc is NOT good and Ult!Dirk clearly opposite alt!Calliope.
2) Dirk can't find happiness in both arc: in trikster arc he is only one who still have straight mind and understand everything that happens, and in candy epilogue he only one who can't find his happiness and then having a break down around it.
3) it's only me but in 14 chapter Dirk says that characters in candy timeline lives and thinking about romantic and etc things and this is not for him. It's basically like in trikster where Jake Jake and Roxy yelled about marriage and having-childrens thing and Dirk was like "what the FUCK"
