One thing that I’ve never seen mentioned, even in the Homestuck lesbian circles, that bears mentioning, is the relationship between Vriska and Terezi in the pre-retcon timeline.
Here’s the issue.
In the pre-retcon timeline, Vriska is a ghost, and as such is a perpetual 13-year-old. Terezi, on dying, is a perpetual 16-year-old. THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT AGE-GAP ISSUE.
Yes, it’s still an issue if they’re “only” moirails. Moirallegiance is a romantic relationship. It’s not just “mega best friends” or even just a QPP. It is one of the four quadrants of troll romance for a reason. 
And no, it doesn’t matter that they’re ghosts, that (Vriska)’s been dead for 3 years so that “technically” makes her 16. Age gap issues are about maturity, both physical and mental. (Vriska) still has the mind of a 13-year-old. She is not fully mature. She will NEVER be fully mature.
Another thing, regarding post-retcon and/or post-canon Vriska & Terezi. Time flows weirdly in the Furthest Ring. I implore you to, if you write fanfic or have a medium in which you can easily define this, make sure they end up within a reasonable age gap when it comes to shipping them.
