post-canon/epilogues au, in which kankri, through paradox space shenanigans, gets revived and comes into his ultimate self, gathering knowledge from all of his past and future iterations - including the signless. now hes on a one-man mission to stop ult dirks plan to start another session of sburb in the bud

#homestuck #homestuck au #homestuck beyond canon #kankri vantas #dirk strider #ultimate dirk strider #dont ask me how did he get revived or why does he want to stop ult dirk i am as clueless as you are #but feel free to speculate!! i just liked the concept of ult kankri and how would it change him #since now he also has memories of signless #the ask about dirkkri gave me brainrot #i also did not fully read the epilogues or hs:bc im going in blind lmfao #dirkri #dirkkri

The world isn’t ready for my alpha kid readings.

#jane crocker #jake english #roxy lalonde #dirk strider #homestuck #alpha kids #Jane is the struggler don’t you EVER contest that #many might argue it’s Jake but he doesn’t struggle inherently #usually he just vibes until he’s forced into situations wherein he struggles #Jane struggles from the beginning #her entire arc is a struggle #also had to change it from “the fujoshi” mostly cause I don’t like that and also cause it’s not as versatile as the other labels #I don’t actually think Dirk is boring btw i just think that when put up against his friends he has a lot less complexity going on #like his arc is fairly simple as opposed to Jane and Jake’s #and even Roxy’s #His problems seem inherently a lot more straight forward to me simply because he’s articulate enough to realize he has problems #Jane and Jake are almost there #problems are like on the tip of their tongues #and Roxy is kinda like the John of the team where she isn’t even gonna acknowledge the possibility of problems #girl is like “problems? haha not me #I’m the put together one in this group :)” #and just ignores all her internalized misogyny and heteronormativity #she is a mirror to Vriska in that they both put a lot of emphasis on preforming romanticism as a means of affirming their gender #anyway my alpha kid readings are way too boring so I feel like nobody would really be interested in them Sighhhh

revisiting an old concept.... thinking about making the altselves look purposefully stylized in a "realistic" world to emphasize how inhuman they are. also proving that i can draw realistic faces

#just think about how odd a cartoon character would look in the real world #i just love the concept of changing the visual style of the medium in order to convey something #i also just love things that are uncanny #is this post very self-indulgent? yes. #i was originally going to draw hal like one of those 2000s deviantart core chibis but i couldn't get the style quite right #homestuck #hal #jasprose #dirk #rose #i say things #1k #doodle

Personally the amount of people who are either "Jake is a stupid himbo" or "Jake is actively malicious" blow my mind. No, Jake isn't stupid, and he's not evil. He's a sixteen year old who is implied to have a mental disability and/or brain damage (it's not exactly clear, Caliborn claims they have the same developmental disorder and Dirk iirc worries that Jake hit his head too much, I guess you can take either with a grain of salt but I digress), and has not had meaningful real life interactions with other human beings in years. He is in the wrong for his actions, but it feels. Purposefully ignorant to claim he's just stupid or just evil for them.

He's socially stunted. He wants to emulate heroes in movies but lacks self esteem and experience. If the alpha kids had enough time to be more fleshed out (and let's be real, if Hussie cared about Jake) this might have been explored more thoroughly. He'd never had the opportunity to learn how to cope with a relationship, how to communicate his needs, or understand that he can't control how other people perceive him like he can through a computer screen.

He doesn't know healthy boundaries because he's never had to use them, and this goes both ways (allowing his friends to sexualise him and treat him like an object, as well as constantly complaining about his relationship with Dirk to Jane) Like yeah he does run away instead of communicating with Dirk and yeah he does dump all his problems on Jane. I love Jane, but one of her problems is her bottling up her feelings and people pleasing until everything blows up. She should have told him off much sooner, and while he was being a dick, it was partly because she allowed him to feel like it was okay to do, since she never told him it wasn't after the first few times or when she was starting to get aggravated.

His problems with Dirk are a little more complicated because we're never actually shown their relationship or how it broke down, but from what we can gather, Jake felt overwhelmed by Dirk's intensity and decided to ignore him rather than tell him try and avoid confrontation but leading to Dirk being frustrated and breaking up with him. Dirk claims he feels like he bullied Jake into a relationship, and though I personally think that's him making it seem worse than it was, it does mean that Dirk probably was trying to go too fast. I've best heard it is Jake being an introvert pretending to be an extrovert.

This is not to say I don't think people can't dislike or even hate Jake, but it's like. Idk. Misinterpreting a character and disliking that version of them is a little redundant to me.

#homestuck #dirkjake #jake english #dirk strider #jane crocker #character meta #homestuck meta #this is kind of in response to those people in the “worst homestuck character” tourney lol #the notes on those posts are atrocious especially the ones about the alpha kids. especially roxy #god if you think roxy is a perfect sngel i assume you haven't read the comic #btw im not mad at the person running the polls or whatever for that they seem fairly chill #its just that homestuck fans are sometimes stupid #and lack reading comprehension and critical analysis #long post #ummm jake dislikers ur fine but please. be correct about him if you're going to not like him #ok bye lol

The person who made the original ask for my headcanons deactivated but i made this shitty headcanon sheet not too long ago and figured id post them anyways :P no trolls cause er idk its not really interesting to me

Dave strider is such a girl to me 💕 ive said my piece. But all of these are more nuanced in my mind palace for each of them and i have things from canon backing up my ideas👍 MAYBE ILL WRITE ABT THEM ANOTHER TIME

I think the way hussie wrote about gender and they themselves figuring out their own queerness and opening up more to being queer Whilst writing homestuck (which is basically All character dialogue and character moments) aspects of their identity bled into a lot of the characters just because yknow when youre pouring your psyche out into this huge piece of literature thats bound to happen and i think its a really interesting point of analysis with how gender was written in homestuck (insane)

turnabour earth c but its hal endlessly fucking with dirk by wearing the most ridiculous outfits he can manage to find

#at first dirk finds it hilarious in a ironic sense but then he realises ppl outside his friend group think its HIM whos wearing them #hals just delighted by that fact #homestuck #dirk strider #lil hal #hal strider #turnabout au #homestuck turnabout #i saw that goddamn shirt on pinterest once and was like “hal would wear that” and it stuck with me so i had to draw it lmfao #and ofc i forgot dirks stupid ass tattoo #also hals def wearing sandals+knee socks+shorts combo in this one i was just too tired to draw it

[bottlehawk]

i had this fun early 2000's family comedy spy movie idea in my head where dirk is a super secret international spy who had kids with roxy when they were young (accident). roxy took the twins and now dirk lives with his buddy and spy partner jake out at some super secret hideout in the middle of nowhere. they're planning one of the biggest heists of the century when someone manages to trigger one of the alarms and infiltrate their base and they catch the intruder and it's dirk's 12 year old daughter, rose, who's doing a presentation on her family for school and wants to interview dirk so she can get an A+ for it.

meanwhile at home dave is freaking out because he's been dressing up and pretending to be rose for the past few days but the babysitter their mom hired after heading out on an important business trip is starting to get suspicious about the fact that dave and rose never seem to be in the same room...

yeah. rose would be one of those advanced college reading level genius kids who uses big fancy vocab words and is extremely smart and adjusts speedily in a scary way. she'd tag around dirk and jake in the base for a while as they try to figure out what to do with her and get involved in their heist and try to help out somehow. also there'd probably be some family drama moments between dirk and rose and all that. dave would be wearing one of those gamer boy middleschool tshirts in every scene and playing fake videogames on a xbox. simon pegg would appear at some point.

#rose lalonde #dirk strider #jake english #dave strider #homestuck #bottlehawk art #bottlehawk text #spystuck au #? #it'd be one of those summer blockbuster movies that get churned out for families and kids #there'd also be at least 5 different hour long video essays in the 2020s about the homosexual subtext of 2 men raising a kid together #but in the film they'd just be bros and then maybe one of the actors would be like in a mtv interview #yeah i was playing this character as gay

@413countdown

#i still think its funny how dirk thought it was a good idea to piss off kanaya #i think its even funnier that he acknowledges that this is scary by saying oh fk shes pissed u couldnt pay me to be near her rn #i love all and any art depicting kanaya being a dirk hater its just so fucking funny to me idk why #like even in a modern au imagine rose leaving dirk and kanaya in a room together or something im crying #homestuck #413countdown #ult!dirk #dirk strider #rose lalonde #rosebot #kanaya maryam #rosemary #jade harley #hsfanart #my art #hs2

[tibli]

people treating either dirk or jake as the 'villain' of the relationship fundamentally misunderstand that they were isolated teenagers with social issues who both contributed to the relationship's problems, and neither of them are evil

#homestuck #dirkjake #dirk strider #jake english #im not a huge dirkjake person. i like it but not super actively or anything #but they BOTH did things wrong #dirk can be manipulative and overbearing #but hes not some evil mastermind hellbent on ruining jake lmao #his worst offense was like. building a fighting robot that jake explicitly asked for #and then going too far with it #on the reverse side #jake is not some unfeeling uncaring monster #hes socially anxious and has a hard time standing his ground on personal matters #his worst crime was mainly just. being kind of inattentive and unintentionally a little callous #i think postcanon (ignoring the epilogues and hs2) dirkjake could work fine if they both just like #got a little therapy and counseling #i think this is kinda why the epilogues make me bitter bc they really just like. completely bastardized the both of them #dirk is a hypercontrolling obsessive ultrabastard #and jake is a dumb thoughtless himbo who for some reason is a constant punching bag #also im p sure jake canonically has brain damage like i think thats stated in plain text in hs proper #i mean that could probably be healed but for a while he was kind of like. airheaded and unfocused #and i think its kinda insulting how hes treated in both timelines #im not a jake scholar like i am a dirk one tho so jake lovers i need someone to back me up on this pls
