yea i very much agree with ur take on sollux in his relation to older technology, u get it

please id love if youd share some more of ur analysis on his character (as well as ur art bc that shit is 👌👌👌)

either way, thanks for feeding my brain worms

im glad it resonated!! :') always happy to explore his character, he contains multitudes!!!

i think i may be out of sollux analysis for now, in the sense where i don't have anything new to add that hasn't already been covered in these posts? (please add if there's more...)

why i like sollux (lackadaisicallexicon, 2014)

comprehensive sollux status guide (syblatortue, 2016)

bioware machine (lime-bloods, 2016)

fridgestuck (LaureledEevees, 2017)

mary sue (3d-gla22e2, 2019)

favorite sollux trait (3d-gla22e2, 2020)

doom-bound static (gendertrickster, 2023)

however i will say there's another thing i really like abt him:

his Range!

he has a v flexible face.. even with his neutral expression, you cant help but read a tinge of melancholy/pensiveness to it.

he deters people from getting too comfortable with him by acting crude, but no matter how unapproachable he looks you can't help but wonder if he's ok. seems like he's never content with himself.

just like karkat, anger gives him purpose = something to care about & react to. without it he can appear aimless/uncertain.

it's especially interesting when you compare him to aradia, who despite having endured a lot of shit, ends up enjoying the freedom of expanding her worldview, riding the unpredictable tide of the narrative and observing the changes. sollux... doesn't.

he doesn't like watching major things progress in a way he can't predict. the lack of certainty actually overwhelms him.

and it's pretty clear why; imagine the only reassurance you get after unknowingly killing ur gf is that "it needed to happen". the only way to appease that sort of emotional turmoil is by intellectualizing those events as inevitable and out of your control.

(hs, A6I5)

when you’re just a tool for the author, trying to sit out is just feeble self-preservation until you’re needed again. if you’re not called on stage to help/assist in some way, it feels like your presence spells doom (either you or someone else will get hurt). so you avoid Events as best you can.

#ask #anon #homestuck #sollux captor #2023 #vioart #i love expressive characters eheh my fave emotions to draw are actually anger and incredulity. vry cathartic for me #im also super relieved the prev analysis was received well ngl it was like. splitting my chest open it was . very personal #largely bcs my appreciation of him is weirdly abstract? seems as if i had to come up w sm conceptual meaning just to say i like his vibe #but rlly i was just working backwards frm that conclusion like wow this character looks cool lemme think harder abt why i like it #i may have sounded a bit callous too.. but truly he is 1 of my top 3 faves alongside karkat & aradia. i brain them regularly in rotation

idk even how to articulate this but something about beau's friendship with The Boys is so. gender. when it's her & fjord or her & caleb & fjord together. its something its there. she asks to be disguised as a man she's One Of The Guys shes the first mate she should have been a son. lesbian gender moments.

#i just like her. #do u catch my vibes #critical role #beauregard lionett #cr #c2 #beau #it's alive! #something ab her like. immediately latching on to fjord who obviously has his own Masculinity Stuff #going on. who is the most like. invested in his masculinity of the guys in the group #and like. she listens to him & tries to emulate him in a way she doesnt rlly w anyone else #beau & The Boys idk its so good to me #nothing more beautiful than the friendship between a lesbian & a bisexual man. #NOT TO BE HAVING THOUGHTS BUT IM HAVING THOUGHTS

ur honor they are literally fucked up little foils of each other

thumbnails of ideas i was having for very fancy pieces under the cut! we’ll see if i get around to actually finishing any of them

#i have Hopes...we shall see about finishing them thumbnails #hollow knight #hollow knight fanart #hollow knight meme #chad vs virgin meme #catboy #im just tagging this whatever the shit now i guess #hollow knight soul master #hollow knight pale king #last one is my fave but im not sure what to have as the source of void there #like i drew ghost's mask but i also had delicate flower there at some point for whatever reason idk but ghost's mask doesn't rlly vibe #imo if u get what i mean. i do like the piece a lot tho #it's got a lot of Things going on. many layers. much like an onion. i'm happhy to explain if i don't get the finished piece out #ive decided to dislike the pure focus one bc its not obvious enough that pk is doing said pure focus w/o the words and i don't want to be #that reliant on words #<---literally enjoys drawing comics like some kind of weirdo or even a freak #one of the reasons pk is the virgin walk is bc we don't even get to fight him. hash tag lame #ok narratively i think it works out but also. i want to see what his boss fight would b like #thats what its called. the chad walk vs the virgin walk meme...no? #ugh whatever

Saw a meme post and started doodling and somehow spawned this???????

#this definitely isnt thematically consistent with ANYTHING #i really just started drawing ig #if the dress seems weird its bc that was the post i saw. dont think it fits the vibe or the character really but its rlly there as a remnant #of the original idea. which was just drawing that dress. which turned into hal bc the black said spectre to me apparently? although the cut #isnt consistent w anything theyd wear in my mind #idk who knows. its late im bored and i just started adding things too it until i was like damn. should probably post this bc ppl may get a #kick out of it. even if there are a few things im :/ abt. namely the dress bc again that was a remnant from a diff idea #and i dont think the text fits the vibe of stuff at all (although i wouldnt fully know) i was just messing around there #bc it was parallax and then in turned more spectre and just yeah. kind of eh but ill put it here in case ppl vibe w it #blah #swishy art tag #not gonna put this in any main tags bc again the style + thematic messiness

[haledraws]

attempting something a little more complex (wip)

#i rlly wanna do loose messy lineart for this but i don't like the pencil brush for it #so im gonna have to find a different one #& i get so frustrated w rhe one i normally use so we'll see #fuuuuck my wrist is already starting to hurt this is gonna be slow going #wip #lis #life is strange #sketched out the cutest max ever for this to <33 #thought abt going lineless for this vut i dont think it'd fit the vibe + that'd actually be hell on my wrist

Spreading the big naturals agenda

#answered #chattin #its funny; somethin about him makes me not instinctively make him trans #where im usually easily ready to do that for alot of characters #but as a ‘scared of surgery’ trans; i always draw some variation of this as an hc for characters i like #so i drew this; but it never rlly stuck w me 😔 #OH WELL #as long as i can spread the peppino big naturals agenda #and SOMEONE out there has their eye opened #and has genuine fun and good vibes w it; then yessssss #i have done my part
