Is karkat going to go through a similar arc as peridot?

Karkat's arc is a bit of a mix between Amethyst and Peridot, but both sorts of flipped on their heads!

The idea with Karkat is that he's a Jasper who woke up too early. Unlike Amethyst who woke up too late, Karkat emerges from his hole some hundred years before he's supposed to. The planet is incubating and not being super closely monitored because everything's all set and they're just waiting for the gems to grow. This leaves Karkat pretty much alone on a desolate, dark, dying planet.

He wishes for nothing more than to go back to sleep, he tries to crawl back into his hole multiple times waiting for consciousness to slip, but he can't go back to "keep growing" after he's emerged.

The longer you wait, the more your mind fills. It’d be wrong to call them memories, you didn’t exist before, so they can’t be memories. 

Purpose. What your purpose should be. You’re a Jasper, you’re a Quartz, made for war. You’re a soldier, you’re a warrior for Homeworld. You’re supposed to be big and strong, ready to fight for your creators, for your Diamond.

You’re supposed to fit your hole. You can’t.

So he makes a life of wandering the planet. It's cold and boring, so fucking boring, and he thinks a lot about what he could do. He thinks about how he's a failure to the Diamonds, swapping between fear of being discovered here and wanting nothing more than to interact and talk with another sentient being.

Unbeknownst to Karkat, another group of gems nears the Kindergarten. The Alpha Kids are a small group of rebel gems who stole a ship off Homeworld. Upon needing to stock up on supplies, Roxy locates an incubating Kindergarten that is long enough in its cycle for no gems to inhabit the planet, but early enough that they can still retrieve what they need. They land on the Kindergarten and Karkat eavesdrops, stunned to be witnessing actual living real people.

But Karkat realizes what they are, when he listens in and realizes that they're traitors.

He sees this as an opportunity. If he can turn these rebels in, then the Diamonds won't shatter him! He won't be a failure!

So he boards the ship, sneaking on as a stowaway. Roxy almost immediately finds him and it turns into that little scene.

Jane and Roxy convince Dirk to let Karkat live and stay aboard, and Karkat stays locked up in one of the rooms. He's like a little hissy cat, but he's also completely overwhelmed and overstimulated just being around things that aren't the Kindergarten.

With a lot of time and a lot of slowly building trust, Karkat starts to warm up to the Alpha Kids and eventually becomes a proper part of their squad.

#homestuck #hs #gemstuck #chris talks #maybe while he's still on the ship early on #he's like “ok ill play along with their stupid friendship stuff” #“but really!! im still going to sell them out!!!” #and he clings onto that for a long time #in denial that theyre actually starting to endear him #maybe there IS an opportunity he gets to sell them out #some moment where roxy leaves the door to communications open #and karkat could sneak in. set out an SOS signal #and he just.... #decides not to. #i have so many karkat thoughts #about how he's so curious about everything #how years and years and years passed on such a desolate awful planet for him that now practically anything that just so much as moves is- #-fascinating to him #how he's the first one to get really comfortable when they all go to earth #because he's learned by that point to be curious #he's the first one that talks to a human #(blood player blood player blood pla

So you know in the episode Listen with Orson Pink stranded on a mysterious planet at the end of the universe? And there are all those spooky noises outside? Yeah according to one of the audio dramas that Jack Harkness & River Song just fucking with him.

I do not know what to do with this information. It is simultaneously the dumbest explanation ever but also makes way too much sense for the Doctor Who Universe.

#doctor who #jack harkness #river song #Orson Pink #clara oswald #oh and there's a reference to a woman waiting on the planet to play chest with the doctor #so Ashildr #which means that desolate planet is gallifrey

#i love running around and being killed in the comfort of my own desolate planet

[nyamcot]

Ohhh I had a thought.

#what if it took place in the dark future where the world paralysis occurred #it’s been saved decades ago of course and while the world is Significantly better off than when it was shrouded in darkness there is still #places of decay where things have been stopped so much they never grew back #dry grass never became lively and vibrant and there’s a desolate desert #anyway #what im saying is that the main town / guild is in a ‘horizon continent’ a part where it’s desolate & a bit odd #it’s where team spirit [ used to be named strong btw ] are in for the most part before things start to take off. #there’s some traces of the planets paralysis and everything…it’s never going to happen again but the traces are still there. #in some places. but its treated as unusual but fine since it’s not posing a threat anymore #pmd ocs

god shedding tears over the fact that . there’s something so tragic to me about obi wan ending up on the planet that anakin grew up on. it’s like of course you see his ghost there. over every dune, in every hustling market , the heat sinks into your bones and no one ever REALLY leaves that planet unscathed , no one really leaves the sand at all.

#thinking about how that planet is a literal and figurative grave. #anakin and shmi as slaves / anakin being freed and having to leave his mom behind #his mom sacrificing that relationship. she knew in her heart she’d never see her son again #and yet her love and selflessness.. #anyways anakin there was always half of him home with his mom #always #always pulled there half of him will be buried there always #i cannot quite elaborate on the facets of the home …. his childhood his mother #half of his heart always on tatooine it’s why as vader he never returns. #( shush. ) #anyways #luke growing up on tatooine with loving parents but to me it’ll always be in the belly of anakin skywalker. #the suns and dunes his blood and heart the heat and desolation #luke rising from that and carrying that light and warmth despite. #idk i’m rambling here #there’s just something that makes me ache about being in a place you’re so unfamiliar with #but a loved one long lost ….. being there #THE KENOBI NOVELS STAB U IN THE HEART MAN #obi wan visiting shmi’s grave #/n

one thing i love about star wars is the evolution of design and silhouettes. mandalorian helmets into clone helmets into stormtrooper helmets. scout walkers into AT-STs. republic attack cruisers into imperial star destroyers. even kyl0 ren’s mask attempting to mimic vader’s as proof of his perverse admiration for him. it’s neat!! it’s good storytelling and world building!!

#also the reuse of environments like desert planets #jungle planets #ice planets #each of these holding their own purpose. no planet is chosen without purpose. #jungle planets chosen for covert operations and mystery. desert planets chosen for desolation and dwindling hope. #ice planets for dramatics and isolation #SO GOOD #rogue one’s environmental choices were a perfect example of this #anyways.txt

sighs. Does anybody who knows a lot about Star Trek tech/lore wanna help me out real quick

#I'm planning a fic and I just need a bunch of minor details abt how the universal translator works #like is it audio played into ur ear. is there a delay. is it an Instantly Beamed Directly Into Ur Brain thing or is it like #alien *mouth moves* *1/4 second later a translated version starts playing in your ear* #I need answers if I'm gonna make this fic work lol #mostly bc in the Situation the translators/comm badges work only sometimes and when they do it's sometimes half-broken so I need to know How #To Break It lol #I'm aware I could just Make It Up Myself but that's not the point the point is the au im building #if anyones curious I'm turning the long dark into a planet that Tasha and troi crash on #tld is a survival game. I'm mostly working with the aurora mechanics tbh and how it affects wildlife #that region of the planet is going to be mostly abandoned and they have to. sort of do that one mission where u get the flare gun from the #top of Timberwolf mountain and fire it off the lighthouse in desolation point I can't remember what it's called #but I want it to be entirely set within tng so I'm making them all aliens and changing some of the tld lore #so I want the physics of trek u kno?

I have a few things to say about the direct but they're all overshadowed by the announcement of a sequel(?) to one of my favourite games of all time, Fantasy Life for the 3ds, that looks soul crushingly disappointing. My disappointment is immeasurable and my direct is ruined.

#why does it look like animal crossing what have you DONE!!! #look how they massacred my boy #i'm miserable desolate and inconsolable how could this happen to me #that aside really dlc heavy direct huh #like the fire emblem dlc... i haven't bought it yet it'll depend on how much extra story they add in wave 4 #splatoon dlc is... fine i guess um #i wish it wasn't split in half AND the first half is just a cosmetic swap for the square #like YEAH i like inkopolis WAY more then splatsville but not enough to pay for juuuust that y'know #Marina backstory is interesting but... hopefully theres more then just that I'm not overly invested in her past tbh #uuuhhhh what else GBA games fucking FINALLY but it's expansion pass only pain and suffering on planet earth #idk if i wanna play fe7(6? idk which one that was and i don't wanna go check) that badly to give them the extra dough.... #if they add more fe games though or god forbid pokemon ones I will succumb 100% sorry #wish they'd just sell them to me though orz #in terms of new games the only one that stuck out to me was... Fashion Dreamer i think was the title? looks fun can't wait to try it #nintendo #snow blogging
