If nothing else, John is not innocent. And frankly, John is not a character who breaks. Recall how he reacted to his own goddamn father dying. A moment of horrified shock, an impulse toward vengeance which got him horribly gored, then after that... what? Zero reaction? He basically got on with his life. There's nothing to indicate that he's a "breakable" character at all. Very few characters in Homestuck actually are! Hell, the only one among the main kids I'd consider "breakable" is Rose, who we actually did see break and go grimdark (even though nobody in fandom treats her as such).
Homestuck fandom in general really likes to underrate the characters' competence at coping and overplay their emotional reactions to shit.
OP
(Anonymous) 2011-12-19 12:21 am (UTC)(link)I'd disagree on calling him "unbreakable," though. Just because what he's been through in-canon hasn't broken him doesn't mean nothing can. If anything, the fact that nothing has managed it yet makes me more fascinated with the idea.

Although, this has all been within a very short jaunt of time. When my dad passed, I was pretty numb and normal for about a month afterwards - still in denial - and then it hit me and I broke down. It's very possible that later on he could collapse for a bit, but all the same I can't see it changing him forever as much as being a hurdle for him to climb over.
...Well dang, I just made myself sad. Now if this timeskip does happen as planned I won't be able to unsee griefstriken!john during the gap. D:
