#does that mean homestuck pls tell me

[simmonsized]

!! pls tell me about Quarters for the WIP grab bag meme! :)

Sure, SK!

Quarters are a type of currency, but I am mostly familiar with the American or Canadian kind, representing both of us in this instance I suppose, and

I'm just kidding! Love to make a quarter joke just a little money humor for you here haha

I have technically already talked about it a little bit BUT because you do not go here (homestuck) I am never above both talking about it MORE (because I secretly love talking about this stuff) and also trying to explain it in a way that makes sense for a Non-Homestuck in this instance (keyword here: try lol).

(Future Novie here: i have decided i am putting this under a cut lmao.)

Hmm where to start hmmmhmhm. Basically, the main main character is a dude who grew up in an experimental cloning facility but was raised separate from the others with one (1) whole friend and so had kind of a weird upbringing but eventually grows up and makes a series of mistakes that culminate in him working alongside (though not technically for) a group of people that put him in contact, and doing a Huge Favor for another, larger, and admittedly Worse group of people. I'm using the term "people" to generalize. There are aliens. Multiple kinds but the general shape is humanoid.

He is given a Gift, and this gift ruins his life.

It ends (and our story begins) with him isolated from the only family he has ever known, working as a glorified work hound for a person who does not really want him as her weird purse dog at all, and both of them under the thumb of someone much larger, and much crueler. He is not entirely himself, at least fifty percent of the time, and that is sure something I decided to incorporate into this.

The other non-main but unfortunately I've roped into this is a person who fell into favor with the same dude, but instead of being given a Gift he was given a Job, except he was not necessarily given the opportunity to turn down this job, and he as Free Will but is not Free To Go Home, u feel???

anyway so it is like that, currently. I have like. all backstory but still have to sit down and write more than just character interactions bc eventually my sad plot will need like, an actual middle and end LOL

thanks, SK, for letting me ramble heh

oh and the codename for this au is Gutterball, but it doesn't have a real name yet bc i'm unsure how deep into the Joaks i wanna go!

here is a snippet (edit: i got carried away) that means nothing to u but it feels like it's been part of the wip game so i will share with u:

"Come," she says, bringing you to heel, and you are beyond eager to obey, a wire fit and ready to snap, so quick to lope after her, to fall into step just behind. If one were perceptive enough, they may even imagine you are using her as a shield. "Leaving so soon?" The tone is enough to freeze you in your tracks, and it is against your will when your heels dig in, grinding you both to a halt. Your boss (though perhaps boss is wrong, because truly what is she other than your keeper?) pivots just enough to make her glare known, and you rotate as she turns, far enough behind that her weapon of choice would not hit you, if it came to that. She never speaks English. She very rarely uses Alternian. "What the fuck else could you possibly want, you wretched creature?"

#hehehehe hi sk #sorry for ur dash btw i was in my likes for four days straight #writer ask meme #the secret is that i can talk about this all day i get very excited #also this fic is going to be So Rated M lmfao #it's a lil different from my usual. flaps hand. #anyway #jazzes my hands i'm so awkward talking about this lol

[inkaddled]

Here's a few tavros

#hs #does that mean homestuck pls tell me #also #homestuck

[callmearcturus]

the way you speak of writing and the things i hear about your work (i haven't actually read anything of yours yet, don't let me fool you), and the motherfucking amount of stuff you produce, i can't help but wonder if you're ever thinking about/planning to write something of entirely your own?

i am the first to accept fan fiction as an equal to "real" fiction but i just *need* to know if you (someone who seems so into their work and someone who does a damn good job of doing it) ever plan to want to do something bigger, something that would be fully and completely yours?

tl;dr pls write a book arc

eh

i have a lot of complicated feelings about it. and i frown at the phrasing you use of "something bigger" and completely "mine"

if you ever do read one of my stories, when you reach the final chapters, i suggest you read the comments. especially on-- ... actually, all of them. all of my major stories. i am fucking blessed enough to have people who let me know what my writing means to them, and every time I'm in a low place, every time I feel worthless, I go and i read how my work has affected people and I know literally and objectively that my work is important and meaningful. that i've touched people. that in many cases I have shared something deeply personal like hurling a bottle into the surf and a week later had rescue show up for me.

i don't know how much I give a shit about writing a book anymore. i might revise TWYCC as a novel? but i know the soul of that fic is not rooted in the names of the characters or the POV the prose is written in, the soul of that story lies in a lonely creature saying I know in my heart we were not meant to be alone and that's not something homestuck gave me, that's me.

when you get down to it, the source material is just the bait i use to get people to sit down next to me for 2 to 8 months and let me tell them a story. i know it, and i think my longtime readers know it, and its the tacit understanding we share.

what makes you think a "book" would be more meaningful?

no offense meant anon but why don't you go read something of mine? i would certainly recommend this one.

#at this point i truly and genuinely don't know what the benefit of publishing anything is #the industry is so completely fucked #and i don't know if it cares about the stories i want to tell #and i know i don't care about the stories it would want me to tell #i already put tremendous work into internally consistent worlds #that are p much entirely divorced from the source material #what benefit do i get doing a name swap and release? #maybe a secondary income stream? #i don't really know #talking about writing

dave strider dating headcanons

1k words, spoiler free

warnings: some swearing, mentions of brief fears (spiders, heights, loud noises), some swearing

pairing: dave strider x gn reader, optional brief skirt wearing

a/n: I am still in act 4 of homestuck so pls !! no spoilers !! take my interpretation of the characters with a grain of salt !! 

also  why is there no homestuck x reader fics?????? Am I looking in the wrong place????? Why are there barely 80 dave x reader fics on ao3 and almost none on tumblr??????? Did homestuck’s popularity just miss the x reader fic train???????? if so I fully intend to fix that (this is the first two or so pages of my dave dating hcs doc, I’m on page five and show no signs of stopping)

also since I’m still in act 4 right now I’m only writing for Dave, probably Jade, John, and Rose (maybe some of the trolls but it’ll be on a case by case basis until I feel like I know them well enough to write for them)

aged up to 18+ for moderate sex jokes lol

=>

Someone told me once that they think Dave is the only character they know of who can match my feral chaotic energy

And honestly I have to agree

Dave is a very strategically feral, chaotic person

You know that thing where 

Wait I’ll see if I can link it here

I can’t find the post but 

I forget what it said verbatim

But basically that if you want to take the piss out of someone who has an Intellectual Superiority Complex you just need to act brazenly confident and sure about something you know is incorrect and as long as you don’t let on that you’re joking they’ll argue with you endlessly and it’s fucking hysterical

Dave does that

All the time

He will deadass argue with the Smart Kid in his class that the moon is fake for hours

He’ll argue endlessly that Terry Crews, Kevin Hart, and Kevin James are the same person shifting forms with randos online

He does that thing where he one ups conspiracies with more outlandish conspiracies

“The moon landing is fake”

“Uh, bro, you still believe in the moon?”

You got a truly delightful video once of him arguing with a smart kid in class about one of those ridiculous topics

Like glinda being a princess

He leans forward, tilts his glasses, and says in the most confident self assured voice

“Okay- riddle me this, bro,” 

He points to the guy

“If pee isn’t stored in the balls, where do you hold it? In your hands?”

The entire class erupts into screaming laughs

The teacher enters to the guy getting up in Dave’s face screaming about sperm and piss

Both of them got a detention

If you can match his irony and sense of humor beat for beat

His brain goes into in love overdrive

You basically never “break character” and it’s fucking immaculate

He didn’t know you could vibe so well with someone

Every bad joke you make

Every meme reference

Every act of idiocy for the sake of the joke

He falls harder

It’s kind of scary for him at first

Having these raw genuine feelings so close to him

He covers with humor as usual

But part of him is freaking out a little

It’s sort of like finding a possum in your house

And then you realize there’s more possums hidden around

Then you run into the bathroom, look in your closet, check the pantry

There are possums everywhere

They don’t seem mean

They’re actually kind of cute

But what the fuck

Aren’t possums usually supposed to stay outside?????

So yeah when he falls he falls hard

I might do Dave crushing on you hcs too

One of his favorite ways to spend time with you is just chilling together doing separate activities and periodically updating each other

He’ll be working on some sick beats 

You’ll be sitting on his bed doing something you love

Drawing, bullet journaling, blogging, editing videos

Whatever your thing is

It genuinely makes him feel so close to you to just

Be near you

He has this sort of deep quiet admiration for you

For a while he genuinely has no idea how to connect the two aspects of his feelings for you and how he’s used to expressing himself 

He feels like he can’t tell you how much he likes you cause like

That’s not swaggy bro

So a lot of his affection is in little ways

He knows all of your favorite snacks and drinks

Favorite candies and gum 

He will protect you from anything you’re afraid of

Spiders? Gets rid of them so fast you literally didn’t know it was there

Loud noises? Has you listen to his latest mixtape when you’re going through somewhere noisy

If you have any mental health problems or we you bet your ass he will do so much research on how to support a friend with [insert thing]

Picks up on a lot of your cues and mannerisms quickly

Knows exactly when to give you his jacket, when to show you the perfect meme, when to take a study break

When to just pull you into a random dance party

He really likes dancing badly with you

Just failing around and spinning you around

If you like to wear skirts he likes the way your skirt flows when he twirls you

It looks so flowy

Like water or something

His favorite part is after you’ve been dancing for a while

When the song ends or when you get tired

How you’ll both kind of slow down and laugh and catch your breath

You’re still holding his hand

And you’re standing really close to him

He thinks you’ve never looked more beautiful

He never wears his sunglasses when you dance

He claims it’s because he doesn’t want them to fly off

But it’s really bc he doesn’t want anything getting in the way of watching you laugh and smile so much

Oof he’s got it bad for you

[thepageofhopes]

As a curious onlooker who is intimidated by House of Leaves, pls tell me more about your love for it!

I can totally understand the intimidation! it's HUGE and weird and meta.

kind of like homestuck

But here's the thing- you really don't have to finish it in one go, or sit down and push yourself through it. You can read snippets and segments and honestly still enjoy it just as much!

One of the other really cool things it does as well is that it starts out incredibly tame and eventually begins to spiral into madness. You'll start with the basic story with footnotes from Johnny occasionally, and it's only later it gets into the bullshit footnotes within footnotes within footnotes, the pages that are literally a labyrinth of text, etc.

A fun thing to do is make your own notes and such in the book itself- it follows the theme of the story to over analyze and point out things in the story, my copy is covered in little notes I made about mini jokes i found, deciphered text, etc.

Also the text itself isn't super hard to get through reading comprehension wise. It's nothing like Ulysses where you'll be having to look up what words mean every other sentence, it's written in plain often very blunt and crude English.

If you've played DDLC and really enjoyed Monica's poems and the way she used space and the medium of poetry itself to convey tone, you'll love House of Leaves because the book is a master of the same thing.

homestuck recap

i hated this so fucking much bc my 2 am bitch-ass didnt want to read a recap thats probably longer than any slowburn out there

anyways here it is

also, uhhH sorry im using this as a end of session discussion bc that shit gets explained in her as well. and im not writing up more recaps of a recap so this is where im done for the day. (by done for the day i mean last nights session, im still doing a liveblog soon. i just wrote this yesterday)

also that this is long

you dont have to read it, theres nothing of importance

ive been coping with humor to get me through it

neato.

have fun with what i suffered through:

why was “beta” the only thing unhighlighted?

like did i miss a page???

OH its the beta version of HS thats why

damn its like 5 pages and thats it

mmh

well youll all be happy to know im clicking every single one of these links again bc i like looking back like ahh i remember that. good times. also in case i forgot some shit existed.

do you think andrew had fun writing this? or was he like “fuck”

thats a lot of fucking package talk. good thing im not confused as of now and remember it pretty clearly. of else, this early on in the recap, id be screwed.

god remember when i did an analysis on each item and what it did

i feel as if i have the technology engrained inside my head right now

cruxite, alchemeter, all that jazz

flashbacks are starting up already

yeah, that was the good part in homestuck where i knew 100% that i probably would continue on this liveblog in its entirety, ngl

that one explosion scene. bc it kept me going.

OH W A IT SHIT

i just realized how the intermission spades probably fucking foreshadowed the whole jack revolts thing and gains the ring, which was also technically JOHNS fault considering he slashed up the doll in the first place

my god, i guess thats the only good aspect of the recap. looking back at things and realizing the missing pieces.

oh that makes sense for the whole “this prototyping had no effect on the enemies, since he was already in the medium” i didnt actually think about that

little did rose know where that would get her right now

oh yeah

there’s still the whole entire lab terminal thing and how mom basically knows the place exists. i guess we’re still venturing onto that and itll come up later when we find out how mom knows SO MUCH about the game.

still think shes some weird spy or secret agent

i kinda love her ngl

anyways, theres literally no reason for skaia to produce a cloning machine. so technically, they only sent the meteors in, right? so who put the cloning machine in if not mom?

oh yeah that impact was nerve wrecking asf

and still at this point in the comic i called dave fuckboy red

huh, how times change

i hated reading that whole paragraph ngl, the frustration just kicked me in the boobs again

yeah nobody else got tornadoes, huh?

OH that makes also much more sense

bc she did prototyped them before she entered the medium.

i gotcha

man one of my favorite edits i made, rose hitting that meteor with a bat

are you

telling me

the exiles structures they arrived on were in the form of the items the kids used to enter the medium?

THE EGG

THAT EXPLAINS “EGG”

of course it was 413 years ago. that was never explained. simply vague “many years in the future....” but i expected no less from this

man serenity is the most wholesome character in hs no doubt

damn thought andy here was really gonna spoil us jade’s planet

okay cool, im glad i now have the layout to the whole “their stations went to the coordinates of the home button” shindig

man i honestly dont know what else to say besides “yeah cool recap” when i already pretty much know what went down? ofc im looking into each link and shit and adding in things when i see fit, but otherwise its just me going “ah good times” yknow

the whole meteor thing kinda makes sense now?

we’re still missing a few pieces of info but we’re getting there, folks

oh yeah that reveal

god jade and dave have it in the shits for parents huh

bro isnt the best and jade has a fucking dog

who lowkey

is doing better than bro

who knew a fucking dog is a better guardian than bro lmfao

dreambot = terminator. im telling you.

sorry im still on that idea and it will never leave unless i have the actual proof in front of me that its not going to become a thing. meaning, ive finished hs and theres still no terminator dreambot or either andrew himself gives me a canon letter with “the robot is not arnold, mackenzie, pls just let it be”

why is the entire game session highlighted

i swear to god if this is like to a second recap or smth of the whole game session i may fucking CRY

okay thank god its just a design of the skaia layout

which is honestly cool

idk why its blurry tho but i can at least see the layout now. which is honestly how i pictured it anyways.

yeah, john did make a huge impact in his friends’ life and i find that so fucking touching

yep. got that. everything loops around. cool.

especially when the trolls come in. god we havent even gotten to that recap portion yet, we havent even gotten to the INTERMISSION

pls can this be the halfway point to the recap

AT LEAST

so they were exiled after the whole jack: ascend thing, right? considering theyre way in the future. man no fucking wonder.

speaking of jack

man that whole dad and jack interaction was gold, ngl

OH THAT EXPLAINS THE RING THEN

and wow, andrew’s really giving us the best female content huh. andrew is the true god of equality and diversity.

also hey, i didnt realize that wow. so PM tricked the queen in showing the parking ticket to be able to take the present from jack. she’s a smart cookie, that one..

she and PM basically snitched on jack and it was the best thing that has happened to me so far

oh yeah okay

but why did AR panic over bec? bc thats something we havent learned yet, right?

anyways

exile town, the only town which should exist. facts. i dont make the rules.

noice

i love PM being queen. like.. thats canon now. shes an actual queen.

yeah that was a fun game and the consorts were cute

fuck yeah the dick head

hate them even more now that i know john was killed because of them

anyways, i wonder what dick move dave’s denizen did? maybe thats why its filled with lava bc the denizen was like “fuck it. make the land red. kill them all”

UH WHAT

WHAT

OH MY GOD HOW DID I JUST FORGET NANNAS LETTER LIKE THAT LMFAO

THEIR TITLES WERE THERE THE WHOLE TIME!

so i still dont know what they mean but i can gather it has something to do with the game giving them abilities. considering dave is the “knight of time” and he can go back in time. whack.

which means john can either control someones breathing or simply wind. and rose is... like that one girl in the winx club who does the sun shit. bc whenever i think of light powers, i think of stella.

and jade is space. witch of space.

nice

i have no idea what that means ngl

okay finally

we’re at the trolls

maybe this recap will end soon

i remember when i thought they were internet bullies

yesss

someone asked if i basically knew the trolls were on a different veil than the kids, so not presently with them, and i know lol. i was making a joke before btw. jsyk. dont think im incompetent to forget these things when sometimes i choose to forget it so i can add in a joke

it be like that, i annoy many

then again, pls dont assume im trying to say im not incompetent bc im also a fucking dumbass and DO forget shit and i have no excuse

imagine being so bored on the meteor, your last resort is speaking to aliens

ngl me if i was ever trapped on a meteor and could potentially do that

nah ik its bc its their only hope at helping with their session or whatever tf CG said to john. but there was BOUND to be a conference meeting between them like “okay guys. humans. that needs to be sorted out” and you just hear CG screaming in the background

i cant wait to meet them honestly bc im growing on all 4 of the ones we’ve seen already. and on top of that, i know what they look like and i know theyre not THAT bad, just a little on the crayy zee side sometimes

but theyre trying

OH MY GOD

I GET IT

FUCK

DOES THAT MEAN THE INTERMISSION IS *APART* OF THE MAIN FUCKING STORY??

AND SPADES IS WV FOR THE TROLLS

GOD D A M N

wow

i didnt expect that. but maybe the signs were there and i was just willingly choosing to ignore it or smth bc “haha couldnt be, right”

flashbacks to how i thought the trolls were humans

anyways, i guess he got his revenge on the kids version of “snowman” ie the black queen. but really

he did not have to do that. he could have cut off the finger and fled. but he decided “nah, lets implode her” so the loml is dead and all i got was a catchy song

i knew they were different types of “bullies” but now i just have to replace bullies with uhh

trolling strategies

anyways, this is cute. i love how they’ve come to be friends through mutual frustration. good part in the comic.

i wonder why it explodes

more importantly

....

terminator time?

this was my favourite sequences of dialogues in the whole entirety of homestuck. that is to say the back and forth thing that the kids went through to become a sort of wingman for the other.

absolutely gold.

all except AT’s rap.

GC was the only smart one with the linear shit

anyways fuck he still has to kill the denizen now but apparently its hard to beat for a sleeping dick head so

that will be fun for the future

john will probably need to kill A LOT of imps to get there

yeah rose is a badass bc she slayed that thing with needles of all things

OH and the white queen was the cursive

damn did AR ever do the whole guide process to a kid yet? maybe he will with dave, idk

oHHH

i fucking SEE

thats why he said DNA

to use it and replace all the life forms in the ocean

fucking neat wow

man that sounded sarcastic but im genuinely impressed bc all i got was bullshit as i read jaspersprites log

so thats the secret. it was “meow” bc that somehow translates to the genetic code she needs then. and that code apparently took fucking years to write as well. sick. whack. oh man.

derse is very pretty, ngl

and wow shit

“dave had already been awake in his tower all along without realizing it” how tf does someone just

do that, awake in both places at once

i didnt even fucking realize that fact as i read that pesterlog wow

ah yes, around the time things got confusing

okay so the capsule makes sense bc at first i didnt know it was a fucking time capsule so i got confused as to how it just apparated the game lmfao

the more you know i guess *twinkle*

i find that a neat concept tho

like the whole whatever you prototype affects the imps and shit

[snailythefan]

I WENT AND FUSED MY TWO HYPERFIXATIONS BCUS NO ONE WAS THERE TO STOP ME-

Presenting, my personal take on Matsustuck: They’re all trolls but also it’s the musical matsu set

i made more things for this au but for now let’s leave this as Part 1 and if u don’t mind reading my ramblings go under the read more

[cracks my knuckles] alright let’s go:

- i know i’m not the first one to make a homestuck au but u know what, i still wanted to give my take on it. It also means i take some liberties lol

- The setting of this au is straight up the same as the friendsims except Totoko is the ruling heiress in place

- their horns are a reference to the fawn set

- despite being in different levels of the hemospectrum, they’re all still losers

Orrson:

He’s a burgundy blood, but he can’t communicate with the deceased.

instead he has Protagonist powers. no one understands what the hell that means, but he can take the helm of the narrative if he wants to, to varying results.

Weapon of choice is a trident (like a devil, get it?)

head over heels for Totoko, thinks that he’d have a chance with her if the caste system wasn’t such bullshit (yeah right)

part of the rebellion, but you’d never know cause he barely does anything to show his support. No, it’s not him being secretive. He’s just lazy.

has a red panda lusus

Kharla:

He’s a cerulean blood, but lacks any cool psychic powers or mismatched looks

he thinks the caste system is too barbaric but is too much of a wimp to say anything about it (and is lowkey glad he has it better than others)

he’s a total music snob. feels obligated to enlighten everyone with obscure musical trivia and is adamant about Vinyls being the only Acceptable way to experience the classics. He has an impressive collection of them! No, you can’t touch them.

hopeless romantic. can someone PLEASE fill his quadrants.

and the Worst Possible Thing…..! he’s a theater kid

Weapon of choice is a Sword (like a knight!)

has a tiger lusus

Charly:

He’s an oliveblood, but he seems to be far wimpier than others of the same caste.

he’s a nerd, he genuinely enjoys gaining knowledge about all possible subjects, but he has a superiority complex about it.

He wants to be known as the perfect intellectual and has a blog dedicated to Culture, Politics and (wait for it) Discourse. In reality he’s very bad at making arguments and tends to straight up lie to win online discussions. So far he hasn’t won any of them.

and boy does he love idols. his (secret) chittr is a stan account for many, many troll idols. Once he got a reply from one of his faves and He’s Still Thinking About It.

he holds a grudge against Orrson ever since The Incident. Now they’re former moirails. He won’t admit it but he misses those days. Nowadays one might think he wants to be Orrson’s kismesis but that couldn’t be more Wrong.

anxious_frog.png

his weapon of choice is a Giant Key. yeah babey, just a giant key like some kind of kh reference (but it’s just like the mage choro unit)

has a sheep lusus

Itchhy:

He’s a purple blood, but he really, really, doesn’t get anything about clown church. Why is he even here, he just wants to go pet some purrbeasts and sleep.

He’s not even that bloodthirsty (apparently).

prefers to indulge on obscure interests like Troll Witchcraft and Depressing Novels about the nature of trollkind, not to mention Horror Films and DarkWave music. Not that he’d ever tell anyone about this though (except his moirail, Juiicy).

has blocked Kharla in all of his accounts. He Knows What He Did.

weapon of choice is a Machete (like Jason!Ichi)

has a three headed cat purrbeast lusus (like hades!Ichi)

Juiicy:

He’s a gold blood, but has zero hacking abilities and only one pair of horns.

Instead he has a great passion for films, specifically sci-film films and their VFX! He makes bad homemade movies trying to hone his VFX skills.

Aliens aren’t real but He Wants To Believe.

He has too much energy, quite literally, so he tends to have random outbursts of psionic energy that leaves him drained afterwards. Some of these outbursts are painful for him, so to spend his energy he practices Lethal Clubball (baseball?) A Lot.

To his delight, he and Itchhy found that some good ol’ Shoosh Paps can stop his psionic outbursts on time before he gets drained.

Juiicy loves…. Itchhy!!! Juiicy loves…. Clubball!!! Juiicy loves….. REVOLUTION.

weapon of choice is a big spiked bat (like delinquent!Jyushi)

Has a Giant and Scary dog barkbeast lusus (like inugami!Jyushi)

Toddhu:

He’s a fuchsia blood…. except Not Really. His blood isn’t 100% Pure Fuchsia tone, and thus he lacks any privilege/powers/responsibilities that comes with the caste. He’s still a seadweller though, so he thinks he’s better than any landweller….

Except he lives on land AND on the burgundy district, because he knows he might get culled by Totoko. He lays low but fantasizes about living it up as The Real Prince He Was Meant To Be All Along (he gets infinitely teased by Orrson about it).

on that note, he’s Orrson’s neighbor.

Big on social media, but he poses as a violet blood to run his chittr account. He distributes a lot of memes about cute lusii and Hot Takes about the heiress, while at the same time posting things supporting her rule.

He’s also broke pls donate to his patreon

Wants to stick to the status quo. Can’t be a prince if they overthrow the system! He however has dreams of one day challenging Totoko for the throne. Might or might not have pitch feelings for her (oooh boy he does).

His weapon of choice is… whatever that thing angelKiller!Todo had

has a super cute and fluffy bunny lusus

I have more ideas for this au but it might take me a while to produce more of this?? in any case, as long as i’m obsessed with these two fandoms i’ll keep this au going babey!

ah i wanna do a fan friendsim for this but doing all those sprites…. OOF

anyway if you read this, thank you! and maybe come chat with me about All This Mess?

(and if you want another excellent matsustuck content, pls check @ Totalchunder on tumblr, i keep coming back to their dead blog bcus i am still in love with it)

Kinktober Day 2 - Underwear | Dave/John [Homestuck]

Dave Strider visits John Egbert. John Egbert answers the door in his underwear. Dave Strider makes a bad decision. But that bad decision may actually turn out to be the best decision of his life.

Second Kinktober fic. I... just really like DaveJohn and I guess that never stopped being a thing. It is kinda wild that I’m writing Homestuck in 2019, though.

Writing Dave was really fun. I super got into his rambling. 

Fair warning: this was based on a joke I came up with for myself. Dave time travelling to jack off and not get caught? Um, yes pls.

Not a commission, but I’m doing kinktober commissions all month! Info can be found here. Please check it out!

------

Sometimes John forgets that Dave isn't straight.

Even after that long, excruciatingly bad talk they’d had years ago, and all the excruciatingly awkward talks and reminders since, John still hasn’t quite gotten a grasp on his best friend’s sexuality. He still tends to think in terms of gay-straight-nothing-in-between, which… isn't exactly ideal most of the time.

Except sometimes it totally is.

Sometimes, John forgetting that Dave is not-a-heterosexual is the greatest blessing a man could ever be cursed with. It means that, on occasion, John would do things without thinking, like change a shirt he spilled his drink all over right in front of Dave, or put an arm around his best friend when he’s really excited about something, or grab his hand to show him something cool, or not care about sharing a bed when they end up having an impromptu sleepover. It’s great because it means Dave can enjoy John going all stupid sexy Egbert on him and perv on his best friend and John won’t even realize. On that front, at least, life is good. Sometimes.

Other times, it’s incredibly inconvenient. Like right now, for instance.

Dave stands outside John's house, hands in his pockets as he waits for the door to swing open and John to smile at him with that adorable buck-toothed grin of his. He hears motion from inside the house, which means John is around and didn’t forget about their hangout plans, but as usual it seems like the goof spent his time dicking around with fake arms and magic chests and shit instead of getting ready.  

"Just a minute!" John calls from inside. Dave hears the pounding of feet rushing down the stairs, and then suddenly the telltale click of the doorknob turning..

The door swings open. Dave’s mouth goes dry.

"Hey! Sorry about that,” John says, the smile Dave had so looking forward to seeing going completely unseen due to his eyes being drawn… elsewhere. “I'll just be a sec. Come on in though, make yourself at home!"

Dave doesn't trust his voice not to crack, so he doesn't say anything; he just nods, cool as a cucumber, cool as a corpse six feet under arctic ice, cool as a penguin's ballsack. Wait, do penguins even have those?

Who fucking cares about penguins , Dave thinks to himself as he watches John Egbert run up the stairs completely naked but for the silky pair of hip-snuggling, ass-framing, rump-hugging pair of boxer-briefs he has on.

Fuck.

Dave looks helplessly up the stairs after John, trying in vain to get the image of his best friend's perfect ass (framed by what is quite possibly the sexiest pair of men's underwear Dave has ever seen) out of his mind. Since when does John go for the fancy stuff? Where are his stupidly dorky and distinctly unsexy goofball slime boxers? Have his hot mom's luxurious lifestyle choices finally rubbed off on him?

Oh, god. Did she pick those out for him?

Dave bites down on the inside of his cheek almost hard enough to draw blood in a desperate attempt to distract himself from the mental image of John and Jane trying on underwear together. Jane twirls her finger to tell John to turn around, and he does, and she makes a comment about how they match the bra and panties she has on and no, no, no, bad, do not think about your best friend and his foxy as hell mother half-naked together--

He can't stop it. Sure, he can shut the thought down, but the damage is already done. He's uncomfortably aroused, dick already half-hard and starting to pitch a tent in his jeans. The timing couldn’t be worse; he can still hear John upstairs, moving around, and fuck Dave no stop thinking about his ass swaying in those stupid gorgeous unreasonably sexy boxers--

He's just beginning to debate his options (get the fuck out of here or get the fuck out of here ) when a noise catches his attention. From somewhere next to him a door clicks open; Dave turns to see who else could possibly be in John's house right now, and...

"Oh hell no," he says, the moment he comes face-to-face with himself. " Fuck no. No way. Fuck this, this isn’t happening, I’m not--"

"Sorry man," Other-Dave says. "You know how it is."

No, he doesn’t. “No, I don’t,” Dave insists, but the denial only lasts about half a second. Deep down he really does know exactly how it is. “We swore off time travel for good, remember? When was the last time we even -- or I even, I guess, since obviously you just did it so you could hide in there and, what, jerk off to my -- our --  best friend’s completely delectable ass?” He cuts himself off, catches himself. “No, wait, I mean--”

“God I really did say that then, huh. Rose is right; just can’t stop with these freudian slips, can I, it’s like a freshly-waxed floor all up in here but nobody put out the sign--”

“Just forget about me saying that, okay, because neither of us needs to keep thinking about John’s sexy, I mean, uh, not sexy -- his really really un- sexy ass--”

“Agreed, or it’s gonna be bonertown all over again--”

Dave stops monologuing and stares at his future self like he’d stepped in a particularly gross-looking pile of ecto-slime. “Fuck, dude. I don’t know how either one of us ever could have thought, or will think, the term ‘bonertown’ is cool.”

Future-Dave shrugs. “Hey man, I’m just repeating what I heard myself say an hour ago, cut me some slack.”

“Okay yeah, fair, but my point still stands: after today we’re officially retiring the whole time travel thing, and for real this time, and also the word ‘bonertown’ is officially out of both our vocabulary.”

“Sweet, glad we got that one all figured out.”

“Right.” Dave offers himself a fist-bump and future-him takes him up on it. Their knuckles only just brush when they hear the door open upstairs and the quick, haphazard footsteps of John Egbert on the landing heading for the stairs. “Sorry about that Dave, I’m all good now!” “Shit.” Future-Dave grabs Present-Dave by the shoulders and attempts to shove him into the study. “Don’t let him see you! And, uh…” He glances over his shoulder at John coming down the stairs, and Present-Dave temporarily stops struggling to follow his gaze.

Damn . He swallows thickly, throat suddenly dry again at the sight of John tugging his shirt on over his head as he comes down the stairs. Is that a goddamn treasure trail ?

“Have fun,” Future-Dave says, and with one last shove, Present-Dave tumbles into the bathroom and lands flat on his ass. The door clicks shut in front of him.

Dave rubs his injured rump indignantly, and for a second considers getting up and opening the door, but he stops himself when John begins to speak. “Didn’t mean to make you wait,” he says, voice muffled through the door. “I wasn’t expecting you to get here so early. Guess I just took a little too long in the shower…”

“Ffffffuck,” Dave whispers to himself. He leans against the door and lets the back of his head thump against it, eyes slipping shut as he attempts to take stock of whatever the hell just happened. He can’t, though, because that last little TMI-tidbit forces images of John in the shower jump to his mind totally unbidden.

What could have been taking him so long in the shower? Was he just taking his time washing his hair? Was he shaving? Singing? Or was he just really careful to make sure he washed himself everywhere ?  

Dave bites his lip. He considers fighting himself for a second, fighting the thoughts of John lathering up under the water and getting himself nice and soapy just for the suds to slough off his skin and wash away down the drain, but he figures that there’s no point. He’s already here, might as well make use of the time he’s apparently bought himself.

So Dave gives in. He breathes in deeply and lets himself imagine John washing himself, lifting his stupidly toned arms to scrub under them, lowering them and crisscrossing them over his chest to lather them up. He imagines John bending over to scrub his legs, lifting one to make sure he gets the soles of his feet.

Dave imagines he’s watching John do all this from behind so that this way he can get a front-row seat to the beautiful spectacle of John’s perfect ass, but then he changes angles again when John straightens up a bit. Now he watches from the side -- no, the front -- no, three-quarter view -- as John reaches between his legs and lifts his dick to...

No, okay, that’s enough of that, the washcloth is gone and John is just straight-up touching himself. He wraps his hands around the base of his dick with both hands and slowly tugs upward, starting off nice and slow so Dave can get a good look. He bites his lip with his big dumb adorable buck teeth and moves his hands faster, unwilling to be patient with himself when nobody’s around to see him. Well, Dave is around to see him, but in this fantasy, John thinks he’s alone. It feels more natural that way.

Dave doesn’t stop to linger on the thought of how natural it would be for him to be peeping on John’s alone time, but again, it’s his fantasy, so whatever he says goes.

John leans against the shower wall and his breathing comes out heavy. He keeps jerking himself off, faster now, the water easing the slide of his hand (one hand now; the other one is at his neck, squeezing it and massaging it gently because Dave knows that the Heir of Breath has a deliciously ironic asphyxiation fetish). It moves up and down over his dick rapidly; he thumbs at the head on every upstroke, and damn if the way he sighs at that isn’t the hottest thing Dave’s ever not-heard.

John’s probably getting close now. No, Dave decides. He definitely is.

Dave shimmies out of his jeans and swallows a groan at the relief of his dick finally having room to breathe. He cups it in one hand and begins to rub it a little, massage it just like John was in his fantasy, just to get it used to -- oh, no, that feels really good actually, to hell with easing into it. He slips his hand into his boxers and goes right for the head, squeezing it and running his thumb over it, again just like John.

“Yeah,” Dave breathes, imagining it’s John whispering instead. Fantasy-John bites down even harder on his lip to try and muffle his cry when he comes -- no, fuck that, he opens his mouth wide and tosses his head back and groans the sexiest strangled groan Dave can imagine. John comes in his hand, but he keeps on stroking even after he’s done, and Dave wonders if he’s going to go for a second orgasm, but he decides that’s a bit too much for now and skips ahead to the next part.

John is in his bedroom now, clad in nothing but a towel and his glasses. He’s still damp from the shower, hair dripping a little bit as he walks over to his dresser to pick out something to wear. No, fuck the towel; John drops it and stands there completely naked, once again allowing Dave another look at his perfect ass.

“Nice,” Dave mumbles under his breath. He jerks himself a little faster.

Meanwhile, John rummages through his dresser. He’s got a concentrated look on his face, which Dave will freely admit to himself is probably pointless in this scenario, but he really likes the way John’s nose wrinkles and his eyes narrow when he’s focused on something, so it stays. John is a man on a mission, and he will not stop until he’s found what he’s looking for.

A-ha! John says as he pulls out the same pair of gorgeous silk blue boxer-briefs Dave had seen him wearing earlier.

He grins to himself and squeezes a little harder. Now they’re getting to the good stuff.

Dave sucks in a shallow breath through his nose as he watches the John in his imagination put the underwear on. Just like before, it hugs his ass, accentuates the curve of it in all the right ways. And when he turns around, oh . That is a nice little bulge John’s got going on in the front there.

Dave licks his lips. Yeah, he’s pretty sure that’s what he wants now. He pictures himself opening the door to John’s room and entering it, eyes locked on John’s behind his shades.

Dave? John asks. What are you doing here?

I think you know, Dave answers, and it’s so fucking cheesy, but nobody’s here to critique his dialogue, no matter how much he knows Rose would want to and oh god no he stops that train of thought before it can even leave the station.

You were taking too long to get ready, so I thought I’d see what was holding you up , Dave says instead, and yeah, that’s better. He walks forward to meet John and reaches out to touch his hips, sliding his hands over them. He makes no move to hide how openly he’s staring at John’s dick. In fact, he makes it even more obvious: Dave licks his lips, both in his fantasy and in real life.

Right, I forgot how impatient you could be. John’s gaze turns sly; his voice lowers an octave. Well? Are you satisfied, then?

Not even close. Dave leans in and presses his lips to John’s, and John kisses him back hungrily, wrapping his arms around Dave’s shoulders and tangling them in his hair. He pulls his friend close, so close Dave doesn’t think he’ll ever be able to escape. Which is fine; he doesn’t think he wants to.

When John pulls away, his tongue still hangs halfway out of his mouth, a thin line of saliva connecting it to Dave’s. He smirks, eyes half-lidded, and in the real world Dave almost chokes. He claps a hand over his mouth to muffle the noise and jerks himself off faster. Fuck, he could probably get off to that look alone.

But that’s not what he wants. He wants more. Wants it all.

“Fuck me, John Egbert,” Dave says, both aloud and in his dream.

And John does.

John yanks Dave to him by the collar, fisting his fingers in it and pulling hard. He crashes their lips together and pulls Dave down on top of him to straddle his lap, and Dave goes readily, grinding himself down on John’s--

He pauses. Opens his eyes. Thinks for a second and comes to a decision. This isn’t going to feel nearly as good if he doesn’t go all the way, he figures, so Dave shimmies out of his boxers and sits on the floor of the study completely naked from the waist down.

Welp.

He glances at the desk a moment, wondering if he should raid the drawers for lube, but figures there's almost a zero percent chance of there being any and he doesn't want to distract himself from his fantasy for too long anyway, so he pops two fingers into his mouth and sucks on them, imagining instead that they're John's fingers. In his imagination, John leans back on the bed as Dave sucks, pushing his fingers in deeper and deeper, but never forcing them too far. John is considerate, but even his patience has its limits.

Dave pulls his fingers out of his mouth and reaches underneath himself. He takes a deep breath and pushes one finger inside himself, then the other, surprised at how easily they go in despite the poor choice of lubricant. Dave doesn't want to think about how or why he’s so loose already or what that says about him, so he doesn't.

He returns to his fantasy. Now he's sitting on John's lap, impaled on his best friend’s thick, wet cock. John is still wearing the underwear, but he's slid it down enough he could pull his dick free over the waistband. It can't be comfortable, but it's so, so damn hot. That's John, though: always willing to go the extra mile for a friend.

Is this what you want, Dave? John asks, and Dave nods frantically, a whispered litany of "yes, yes, yes " spilling from his lips as he thrusts his fingers into himself and jacks off faster and harder than he had been before. The John in his daydream laughs.

I don't think it is! he says. I think you want more than that.

"Fuck, Egbert, you're balls deep inside my ass and plowing me like your own personal sex farm, what more could I possibly want?"

John grins and lifts Dave up, grabbing him beneath his thighs and hefting him into the air. He lifts and drops Dave on his cock a few more times for good measure, and Dave clings to him like a lifeline. John giggles -- fucking giggles -- and turns around to throw Dave on the bed. Somehow, he never fully slips out, and Dave is both impressed and on the verge of desperate horny tears at the thought.

Once they're in a more comfortable position, John leans over Dave and brackets him with an arm on each side of his head. Dave looks up at him and is met with what is perhaps the sexiest expression he's ever seen: John, looking like he's half a breath away from losing himself completely, eyes narrow and sweat dripping from his temples, a sultry grin spreading over his lips as he says, Is that better, Dave?

"Fuuuuck yes," Dave hisses. He bucks his hips forward into his hands, thrashes back against his fingers. He's so goddamn close.

Good boy , John says. A shiver and a whimper simultaneously tear through Dave as he realizes that he did not realize how badly he wanted to hear John call him a good boy. His good boy.

Dave takes in deep, ragged breaths through his nose as he imagines John leaning down to kiss him. It's messy -- John would be a sloppy as fuck kisser, Dave just knows it -- but that just makes it better, because it means that when John pulls away Dave can lick his lips and still taste him lingering there.

He can’t stop himself: he moans. “Fuck, John …”

"Huh?"

Dave’s eyes fly open. His hand moves from his dick to his mouth in record time to stop himself making any more noise, because that was John Egbert’s real, actual voice . All the white noise from the other room pauses; Dave hadn't even realized he could hear music playing from the living room until now. “What was that?”

Dave stays silent, waiting. Waiting...

He hears himself answer John through the wall. “Nothing, it's just, uh, y’know…”

He doesn’t hear the no doubt weak-ass excuse his future self gives to cover up for this atrocious blunder, because Dave’s brain is suddenly filled with the full realization that John is, in fact, only one room away from him, which means that if he isn't careful, he could get caught. John could hear him jacking off in the study and come looking for him.

The risk, the daring, the audacity of it all hits Dave like a ton of bricks and, buoyed by the thrill of trying not to get caught, he  goes back to jacking himself off. He doesn't bother with that fantasy anymorel he just thinks about John walking in on him from the other room, seeing him with a hand on his dick and two fingers up his ass, and saying You know, if that's what you wanted, you could have just asked...

Dave bites down on his tongue to stop himself crying out as he comes. He doesn't think he's ever come so hard in his life -- not alone, anyway -- and it screams through his body like a banshee, deafening him and whiting out his vision until there's no longer anything left of himself to release.

It takes a while for him to catch his breath, to come back down from his high, but when he does, Dave takes quick stock of himself: he's a mess, sweaty and sticky with cum, his hair all ruffled at the back and his shirt riding up his chest. He doesn't even care, though, because he's just had the best goddamn sex fantasy and solo orgasm of his life, and it was with the target of said fantasy sitting in the next room over, none the wiser.

Yeah. He's going to be jacking it to this memory for a long-ass time.

He tucks that thought away for later and pulls up his sylladex to fetch a clean towel. Dave tidies himself up, recaptchalogues the towel, and pulls out his trusty timetables.

"Didn't think I'd ever be using these again," he mumbles to himself. Then, with a knowing smirk, he spins them and jumps back in time, back to the moment his past self knocks on the door.

"Fuckin' worth it."

[greensconnor]

tell me about your mcs pls. whichever ones you want to talk about.

first of all anon i’d literally die for you & i’m forcing all of you to look at headcanons for leo (th:m), rhys (ame) & leon (ilb) for now

leo:

leo & rye met when they were 4 and leo got sent to timeout for pushing a kid over in the sandbox for being mean to rye. they’ve been best friends ever since

which means rye remembers bangsgate when leo tried to give herself bangs when she was 12 but he’s sworn to secrecy under pain of death

they also choreographed a whole dance routine to britney spears’ toxic

leo is butch n so i substituted all the diamond outfit options with suits for her instead which makes both sonia and eris EXTRA GAY

she likes to come up with elaborate fake names to annoy ansel while not disguised at all or disguised very poorly (wearing a copy of ansel’s glasses that she made out of matchsticks)

she’s a light sleeper and gets mad at eris for being a blanket hog

she drinks shitty beer and shitty beer ONLY. she can afford expensive champagne and high-end spirits but will she buy them? no. she can must should and will buy her shitty dark lager beer from the supermarket

she can’t stand when elevators have no music so she hums elevator music to herself

favourite texture is velvet

has a masters in english literature which she utilizes purely for evil

she has a tattoo of a lion on her left hip, the leo constellation on the inside of her right wrist and she has rye’s name tattooed on the back of her left knee because she lost a bet

both she and rye change the story of what the bet is every time they’re asked

she’s also a master free climber and has an eidetic memory

rhys:

rhys’ explanation for being good at so many things is just that he’s from new zealand

yes he has a shitty accent

he also has shitty parents who put him & his two siblings through messy divorce and he only really willingly interacts with his older sister, lea.

he played field hockey and was aiming to go pro until he blew out his knee in his first year of university which pretty much dashed any chances at a career but he still plays for fun

this means he can move with almost inhuman speed which the rest of the crew found out when vince finally made him snap and he just launched at him

he’s a dog person (bigger and fluffier the better)

he plays piano and can sing decently well

he ended up getting a degree in theatre & english lit and went on to be a writer for video games and the occasional tv episode

he hates minimalism and his living space is always super cluttered, even at the ame mansion

he loves the sea & is a very strong swimmer!

pixelberry won’t let me accessorize but he has his ears pierced and he loves wearing jewelry, especially rings.

hates when people call him ‘golden boy’ because of his last name since it was his father’s nickname when he went pro playing rugby

his favourite colour is yellow followed very closely by pink!

leon:

is 6′5″ which makes him the tallest out of the whole ilb gang

a stupid jock (quarterback on the football team and nationally ranked swimmer)

he’s just here to get his degree with a double major art history and regular history so he can get into character design for video games because he’s a nerd, actually

can (and frequently does) pick elliot up with one arm only

had bad nightmares as part of his ptsd, and started sleeping with his door locked when he accidentally hit elliot when he tried to wake him up once.

also refused to let tom stay the night with him for a while because of that

a good cook who particularly loves cooking for his friends! his favourite sunday morning activity is making waffle buffets for elliot

if he needs a challenge, he does pushup exercises with tom sitting on his back

tends to starfish when sleeping because he’s Just So Big and he takes up a lot of space

runs when he’s stressed or upset

he got his frat bro friends to pierce his right ear in freshmen year and then decided he didn’t like how it looked so he let the hole close up, but he is forever haunted by the scar

Does Homestuck count as an obscure interest and would you like me to dm you about the fact that I want to cosplay one of its characters? Alternatively am I allowed to cry and tell you how much I love my characters even though I don't write when I should

yes tell me all about your cosplay ideas that sounds awesome!

BUT ALSO i would love to just, uhhhhh…learn what homestuck is pls can someone explain,,,, i visited the site a few weeks ago out of curiosity and..WOAH OVERWHEMING. there are thousands of pages apparently?? and they were split up into sides and parts and acts idek what that means? do i just read straight through from the beginning? is it a bunch of different stories or is it all one big thing? how does anyone have the patience to read that many pages of a comic??? yeah so anyway i was scared off, halp 

#also what is it even abt #because the first few pages are about some cakes in a guys bedroom? #but the fanart is like demons with horns or something #so that doesnt match up

Homestuck Beach Headcanons

John: hot sand hot sand hot sand *makes it to the water* cold water cold water cold water (this goes on for like an hour before he settles finally). Brought one of those fake shark fins and straps it to the top of his head. He fools no one. Brought approximately 53 kites and loses All of them because Dave said “hey I bet your kites can’t hold up against your windy thing”. He was right. Tells Karkat that the ocean speaks to ppl through conch shells, he holds one up to his ear, nods, “sorry Karkat, the ocean says you’re an idiot”. Karkat is horrified and John is dying trying to keep a straight face.

Dave: has a SBAHJ swimsuit and a SBAHJ surfboard. Challenges Jade to a surf-off. “Are you sure, Dave? I’ve had a lot of practice and it’s not as easy as it looks! I’ve got it, Dave reassures her. How difficult can it be. She warned u, bro. She warned u about the surf. He does not get back in the water. Fills a bucket with crabs of various shapes and sizes throughout the day, at the end he calls Karkat over to where he’s standing by the waters edge. Hey. Hey Karkat. Look what I found. He pours the crabs out at Karkat’s feet. Karkat looks unsettled. Dave. Where did you even find all these crabs Dave. They’re your children Karkat. I did this for you.

Jade: spends the whole day in the water and also she is a surf goddess did I mention that? Doesn’t put any sunscreen in and everyone is concerned but she barely even tans. After getting out of the water she does the Wet Doggo Shake™ Jade can u pls just warn us before u do that pls you’re getting us all soaking wet. Smells suspiciously like wet dog but everyone is too polite to point it out. Helps Dave collect his crabs bc she has an uncanny knack for finding them (she’s sniffing them out with her doggy nose but doesn’t tell Dave bc she wants to show off).

Rose: builds sand castles with Kanaya bc Kanaya is deadass terrified of the ocean. They surpass sandcastle tbh it’s more like a sand palace. Rose found a bunch of nice purpley shells to decorate with and also some rocks that look suspiciously arcane and vaguely powerful. High tide somehow wipes out the group’s chairs but doesn’t touch the sandcastle. Hm. Chastises Dave for building dicks out of the sand. Is there something you’d like to tell us, Dave? *Dave sweating* what’s a penis I don’t even know anyone named Karkat. Rose smiles innocently. Of course not. Throughout the day, Rose brings water for Kanaya to drink and also to dump on her so she can regulate her body temperature. Since she’s a cold-blood her body temp is lower so she overheats v easily.

Kanaya: is deadass terrified of the ocean. Does the detail work on the castle she and Rose are making, carves out little stairs and turrets and makes flags out of spare ribbon she keeps in her bag. It’s beautiful. She cries at the end of the day when they have to leave it even though they’ve taken lots of pictures. . Karkat comes up to her with a conch shell and holds it out to Kanaya, “john told me the ocean said I was an idiot Kanaya what is it saying I can’t hear anything” She takes the conch shell and listens. Mmhm. Yes. Oh My. “What did it say???” It Was Really Quite Rude, I Shouldn’t Repeat It. Karkat is about to cry. Kanaya and Rose secretly fist bump.

Karkat: oh boy this has really been A Day for him. He’s nervous around the ocean already but apparently it thinks he’s an idiot??? He loves the crabs they remind him of his lusus, it was slightly horrifying that Dave put a bunch of them in a bucket for obvious reasons. Wants to be buried in the sand, Jake helps him dig a big hole and he and Dave and Dirk all work together to make it big enough and fill it in afterwards. Dave writes “im gay” underneath Karkat’s head poking out and Karkat yells at him for taking pictures. Sollux falls asleep on his towel and Karkat writes “beefucker” on his forehead.

Terezi: before they got there everyone told Terezi not to lick the sand. Guess what she did. Also, accidentally popped the beach ball with her teeth because she was licking it. There’s a theme here can u find it. Is in the water a lot because Vriska is desperately trying to regulate her body temperature and has v little energy to say mean things which everyone is grateful for. To make her feel better, Terezi engages in wildly uncreative insults that Vriska can easily latch onto without having to put much energy in. “Hey Terezi is the water cold?” I don’t know john, is your FACE cold? “Terezi that doesn’t even make any sense”, your face doesn’t make any sense! She cackles as if this is some High Brow Humor every single time.

Jake: has an irrational fear of seagulls, they keep coming for his food and that makes him nervous because the monsters on his island were one thing but this? This sly and wily creature? Dirk is like,,,buddy,,,it’s just a seagull? It’s just a bird? “They’re eating my fries, Dirk, I won’t stand for it!” Jake has a little ukulele that he knows like five songs on, he sits outside by the boardwalk and just strums it sometimes after dark. One night, two little kids come by and give him 6 dollars in crumpled singles for his playing and he started crying he was so touched.

Jane: is having the TIME of her life, and is also the Mom friend. She’s simultaneously kicking ass at beach volleyball and reminding everyone to put on their sunscreen and reapply every two hours please! She’s also having a good time experimenting with cooking seafood some nights, though once she made the mistake of bringing in crab and Karkat did Not take it well. It took an hour to calm him down. Jane felt awful and made it up to him by buying him a nice hoodie w a happy crab on it. Bought a cute little blue boogie board and hangs out with Jade and Roxy in the water, she’s not very good at it but she likes swimming around a little.

Dirk: he’s that one friend that goes way too hard in casual games tbh. Like, they’re just playing a friendly game of volleyball Dirk can you please stop spiking it every five seconds. The grind never stops, Roxy, don’t hate the player hate the grind. Jane looked at him w so much disappointment in her eyes after he said it that he felt the force of her stare physically and had to take a step back. Tries to show Jake that seagulls aren’t scary by feeding them, but they start attacking him for his fries which does not help prove his point at all.

Roxy: “the babe” Lalonde has been ready for a beach trip her entire life. She is checking out the lifeguards, she’s checking out the other gals and dudes strolling about the beach, she’s got her best friends with her, what more could she want??? She buys a cutesy pink surfboard and Dave makes fun of her for it and she smiles sweetly. Oh sorry Dave? I forgot you were so good at surfing?? No one knows how or when Roxy learned to hang ten but THERE SHE GOES. She finds a lot of pretty shells and rocks and sand dollars and is just enthusiastic about everything tbh. She brightens everyone’s mood always.

Calliope: cherubs can’t float so Roxy’s overprotective ass won’t let her near the water unless someone is with her and making sure she’s safe. This is Fine with calliope bc that means that she’s never alone and therefore she’s never lonely and really that’s all she’s ever wanted so!! She’s v content to watch Jade and Roxy surf, she will sit w Jane sometimes when she isn’t in the water. She also likes digging for sand crabs with Karkat bc she likes their little legs. She wants to dig deep enough to find a lobster and no one has the heart to tell her that’s not how it works.

Sollux: this idiot. This boy. My sweet sweet son. Makes the horrible mistake of falling asleep on his towel. He was underneath the big umbrella when he started, but as the sun moves and he’s not putting on more sunscreen?? John, Dave, and Karkat take it upon themselves to not only write “beefucker” on his forehead, but also draw dicks on his whole body in sunscreen so he burns (trolls turn a darker shade of their blood color) and ends up with these pale gray dicks surrounded by a horrible dark, mustardy burn.

[oldthe-nothing-maker]

pls I'd like each of the XYZ boys to tell me what they like about the other two

Hey !! I’m sorry I waited so long before answering this ask, I just wanted to answer this well and maybe with a drawing, but I can’t seem to be able to draw them, so !! Here’s a simple text answer (under a cut because um it got REALLY FUCKEN LONG I’m so sorry) :

Kenneth -Y : they’re like, the epitome of black romance (with red vacillation but still) :p So yeah ! To Kenneth, Y is this stuck-up guy who is 1) fat 2) way too high on morals 3) just a total nuisance all the time ? But when X’s bored, or sad, or um feeling any kind of emotion at all, he knows he can go to Yogur to start a fight and he’ll be distracted for hours and Y will never never refuse that to him because he’s super bored as well. But he’salso passionate, and really determined, and when they both work together they’reamazing, and also he’s really hot and if X shows honest emotional distress Ywill do his genuine best to help him – and they always challenge each other bypointing at each other’s flaws, so even though X is emotionally stunted anddoes not understand affection, he likes the idea of having someone who’llalways kick him awake if he ever falls. So. That’s something.

Z : it’sweird for him because as I said, Kenneth does not get affection? It scares himreally bad to know people care for him because he simply does not know what itlooks/feels like – and he’s also deadly afraid to reciprocate because it feelslike an obligation. So, he likes feeling secure around Zephyr, feelingcomforted and knowing this guy here will do everything in his power to keep himsafe from harm? But he also hates it. He’s a complicated kid. Apart from that,he likes Zephyr’s smile or blush or any hint at emotion, the way he takes careof his hair and also the fact that he can stay perfectly stonefaced in front ofa teacher even though you just told him the lewdest joke. He’s a good jokepartner.

Yogur-

X: black romanceall over again! Kenneth was really cruel to Y when they were kids– but once theygrew up they realised they were both super lost and sad and really, reallyalone? So Yogur decided, fuck this, let’s try to be honest with him for onceand not play the “let’s fight so we don’t think about our feelings” game, andhe discovered Kenneth could be smarter than expected, funnier, too, and well he’ssuper handsome, and he never gives up on anything he deems worthwhile – and Yis really all about people who do not stop trying, like, that’s so admirable(and hot)? So of course he falls for him at some point. Also, they have known eachother for 10 years, so they also share some kind of intimacy that comes withtime and closeness.

Z: theywere moirails before I even knew what Homestuck was. He’s the person Y lovesthe most in the whole world. He taught him how to speak English, and overcomehis parent’s death, and just... Wasn’t mean to him when no one else was there?And the more they grew the closer they got – they have a similar sense ofhumour, work super well together, and they just feel so incredibly safe around each other. Together theydiscover that shared intimacy is actually kind of nice, and hugging andtouching and kissing is nice too (they’re pretty much joined at the hip), andlike, Y is so glad to have him in his life because otherwise he knows he’d be alot more bitter and mean and empty, even though Z can be a total mess of abeing sometimes and he doesn’t take care of himself as much as he should anddeserves, and so every time he looks at him he’s just *diamond eyes*

Zephyr-

X: soimagine you’re that kind of nerdy, very silent kid that no one ever cared foror really paid attention too, and then the popular kid says “hey, hang out withme, I like you, let’s be friends?” just so they can mock you with their friends?That’s pretty much it, except Zephyr was clever, so he didn’t fall for that,which meant Kenneth had to really involve himself, and they spent a lot of timetogether as a result? So Zephyr saw before everyone else how alone X felt, butdespite that fear he never gave up trying to live and fight, and like. Thatmade a huge impression on him. So he likes that flame in him, the really crudebeauty, the fact that he dares saying what he thinks and doing the things hewants to do. It’s kind of inspiring, and he ends up really trying to make sureX stays ok and fighting and good (and in an alternate reality where X comes toterm with the fact that caring doesn’t mean being deprived of your freedom andthat people do not always pretend to like you just so that they can tear youapart later, they kiss a lot).

Y: sobefore meeting Yogur, Zephyr had never really had anyone truly caring for him –and suddenly there was this kid who said “hey you saved my life you’re amazing”and who did all he could to make his life better? And for the first time in hislife he felt truly loved? And he taught Y how to think critically but Y taughthim how to think in terms of morals and ethics and how to care for things eventhough they’re maybe not going to care back, like animals and plants and otherpeople, and he also pushed him to think for himself and accept he deserves happinesstoo! So he’s bad at showing it but for him Yogur is an absolute miracle and headmires him a Lot.

Here so it’salmost 1000 words of rambling, I’m sorry you must have expected somethingsmaller x) In short they like kissing each other – the end.

Thanks forasking though!! Man I love talking about these idiots, I’m sorry I didn’tanswer with a drawing or anything! But yeah thanks a lot!!

#text post #x y z #uh yeah i'm super ashamed by how long this is #like almost crying ashamed buuuut alsoooo i'm happy #wow that's bad #i just can't help rambling when it comes to these idiots because i know them so well #ahahah wow what the fuck #ANYWAY thanks !! #toastyhat #enthusiastic answers

[bozeia]

I had a very nice conversation with a good friend about fan stuffs and meta stuff. I wanted to share it, tentatively. Very long though so it’s all going under the cut.

Bozeia: Fandom drama. Bozeia: x_x ( + ) Lomithiel: Stupid fandom drama x_x Bozeia: Normally I am actually one of those people that has never felt like other people "ruin" a show for me. Bozeia: No one else I know relates to that! Bozeia: They always tell me, like. Bozeia: "The Homestuck fandom ruined Homestuck for me" or something like that. Bozeia: But like I just look at it as fans being dumb and having no bearing on what the material is trying to say. ( + ) Lomithiel: *nodnod* Agreed Bozeia: Right? ( + ) Lomithiel: But in this case...?  Is it the Voltron fandom, or a different fandom? Bozeia: =w=;; You pay attention yes it's the Voltron fandom. Actually, maybe I'll be able to explain this to you better than with my other friend. Bozeia: Uuummm, mmmmmmm okay so like. Bozeia: Ack, it's always been this way. I don't ever, really, have the privlege of geeking out over a fandom with other fans of the thing I'm a fan of. Bozeia: At the time the thing I'm a fan of is running/in progress/et cetera. Bozeia: At this point, my experiences have made me way too shy. ( + ) Lomithiel: *nodnod* Bozeia: I have a difficult time reaching out and trying to make new fandom friends. Bozeia: So I just lurk a lot. Bozeia: And am basically a stalker. Bozeia: So I just followed a lot of blogs that shared my interests. Bozeia: But, like. Bozeia: It's tumblr. Bozeia: So stuff that's related to what I like and who my favorite characters are just ends up on my dash even if it's from a blog I wouldn't have followed. Bozeia: And like. Bozeia: I don't know what it is but tumblr has this trend where freakin' everyone loves a specific character to death to the point of ruining it for everyone else. Bozeia: Like, Sans. Or Junkrat. Or, in this case, Lance. Bozeia: And it's like. Bozeia: I really, really like Lance. That one is my favorite character. Bozeia: And I want to write fic about him! Bozeia: I have a few ideas. Bozeia: But I wanted to try and get a better handle on his character. Bozeia: And finding, like. Bozeia: Character analysis posts that are ACCURATE is really difficult? Bozeia: Because a lot of people are biased and don't look at it for what it IS sometimes. ( + ) Lomithiel: Yeah, I have that problem with some of the Sans-analysises I've stumbled across on tumblr ( + ) Lomithiel: People get attached and want them to be what they want them to be, rather than considering the character exactly for who they are, flaws and all. Bozeia: Right! See, that was my thing. Bozeia: I haven't written in so long that I doubt my ability to portray flaws and how they cause conflict? Bozeia: Because, like. Bozeia: Like, sometimes, I only really relate to MY flaws. Bozeia: And my flaws are, specifically, "disengage super hard and hide when you upset people". Bozeia: Which is not, probably, what Lance would always do. Bozeia: Lance is loud and emotional (which I can relate to) but he's also not shy about confrontation and saying the occasional Obnoxious, Dumb Thing. Bozeia: So it's like. Bozeia: Pls help. Bozeia: But tumblr is the worst for help. Bozeia: And it's been on the back of my mind. Bozeia: And then I saw a post just now reblogged by someone else who called out everyone who puts Lance on a pedestal to the detriment of the other characters and it just sort of irked me. Bozeia: Not, like, in that way where they're wrong. Bozeia: But, like. Bozeia: In that way where it had to be said at all. -.- Bozeia: And now I'm wondering if it's even worth it to write my thingers because what if people are just tired of Lance content. Bozeia: Hnnn. Bozeia: But yeah, other than that and the car thing that's all that's up with me. Bozeia: I'm sorry, I just sort of word spewed. ( + ) Lomithiel: <3 ( + ) Lomithiel: Naw, s'good. ( + ) Lomithiel: I would say it is worth it to write your thingers if it would bring YOU enjoyment. Bozeia: I guess. It should bring me enjoyment. Bozeia: I guess the thing that's bothering me is this feeling that I am somehow...typical? Bozeia: Or like. ( + ) Lomithiel: And I would bet anything there would be people out there who would like it, too. Bozeia: A fandom sheep. Bozeia: And yeah, probably. Bozeia: At the very least I hope that if I DO write The Thing(s). Bozeia: That it would set a good example! Bozeia: Like, "Hey! This is Lance! All of Lance! Including when he does not so fun things! Remember that this is him!" ( + ) Lomithiel: *nodnod* I would not by any means call you typical. ( + ) Lomithiel: And exactly! :D Bozeia: *Nodnod.* ( + ) Lomithiel: Sometimes you gotta write a fanfic to Do It Right. Bozeia: To, uh, express this sentiment exactly. Bozeia: I do want to provide the context that, um. Bozeia: I have a Type. Bozeia: As far as favorite characters go. Bozeia: And it is always exactly the same, there are only two conditions. Bozeia: It must be an Underappreciated Character that is Underappreciated by EITHER or BOTH of the following parties: Bozeia: 1. They are Underappreciated by other characters within the universe of the show. Bozeia: Or. Bozeia: 2. They are Underappreciated by the FANDOM for some reason. ( + ) Lomithiel: *nodnod* Bozeia: I have a TON of characters that I fucking adore because they're unappreciated by fandom. Bozeia: Like, Star Fox? Bozeia: My favorite fucking character is Andrew Oikonny. Bozeia: Who is a throwaway boss that everyone makes fun of. Bozeia: But he had so much potential! Bozeia: Or Dragon Ball Z? Bozeia: My favorite is Raditz. Bozeia: Which is absolutely a character people would make fun of me for liking. Bozeia: But. Other times. Bozeia: Rarely. Bozeia: My #favorite will sometimes fall in line with whom the fandom at large most adores. Bozeia: With Avatar, my favorite from that show was Zuko. Bozeia: Because! Bozeia: Literally his entire story was "EVERY SINGLE OTHER CHARACTER SHITS ON HIM IF THEY DON'T LOVE YOU I WILL". Bozeia: And it so happened to win him the adoration of every fangirl ever, go figure. Bozeia: And now in THIS show. Bozeia: Everyone's #favorite is Lance. ( + ) Lomithiel: And Lance is the unappreciated one? Bozeia: It's, hmmm. Bozeia: I want to say. Bozeia: And I am trying to be objective. Bozeia: That he may be slighty underappreciated by his team? Or. Bozeia: At the VERY least he has some very, very faint feelings of being underappreciated whether it's true or not. Bozeia: Lance's actual problem is that he actually just has low self-esteem. Bozeia: Most of the time he covers it up SUPER WELL by acting like a hot shot. Bozeia: To the point where most of the time I think he fools himself. Bozeia: I think he intentionally fools himself like he probably appreciates "fake it til you make it" in a real way. Bozeia: But when he's alone and there's no one there he'll have some very real existential moments where he worries that he doesn't have a "thing" and that he's not really super GOOD at anything like the rest of his team. Bozeia: Like, he actually comes out and wonders if he's bringing his team down. Bozeia: And he's not sure because they wouldn't keep him around if he didn't contribute? Bozeia: Question marks. Bozeia: So. Bozeia: Within the spectrum of the show I don't at all get the impression that Lance really blames his team for not appreciating him enough. Bozeia: I think he's more worried about not being good enough for THEM. Bozeia: But that by itself has the overtone of "do they appreciate him because if he's having self-esteem issues then is his team there for him emotionally?" Bozeia: Et cetera. Bozeia: So. Bozeia: I think like, collectively, a lot of Voltron tumblr saw him have this moment in season 2 that a lot of them SUPER related to. Bozeia: Because it was the kind of emotional crisis that every depressed emo loser would have. Bozeia: Me included. Bozeia: Super me included, I am that loser. Bozeia: I have had that exact Lance moment. Bozeia: Multiple times. Bozeia: Hence why I fucking love him and why he is my son. Bozeia: <<<<< ( + ) Lomithiel: *nodnod* ( + ) Lomithiel: that is a very relatable feel, for... I imagine lots of the tumbler folks. *heh* ( + ) Lomithiel: And the fanbase in general. ( + ) Lomithiel: (I really gotta watch this show now) Bozeia: It's super good. Bozeia: But yeah, like. Bozeia: I'm trying to figure out how to write my way around Lance's EXACT emotional nuances. Bozeia: It is there and real but it is not. Bozeia: Always how a lot of writers like to portray it? Bozeia: Like, I think there is potential to writing him struggling with self-esteem, and even with depression. But. There is a key to portraying it accurately. Bozeia: And I think portraying it accurately should include the fact that he seems to almost overcompensate in trying to cover up, or keep ahead of, his own insecurities and melancholy. Bozeia: To the point where he naturally brags, and boasts, and hyper flirts, and sometimes even picks fights, to keep his head above water so to speak (yeah! water puns!). Bozeia: So, like. ( + ) Lomithiel: Reminds me of Raf (the ninja turtle) in a lot of his portrayals. ( + ) Lomithiel: A little. ( + ) Lomithiel: So, like? Bozeia: I'm trying to organize my thoughts. Uuuuh. I think. Bozeia: To the rest of his team. Bozeia: It's like this situation where Lance is really, really good at wearing this really happy jokerster mask. Bozeia: And he's really good at faking high self-esteem. Bozeia: So it's not his team's fault for not realizing Lance might be having issues. Bozeia: And, you know. Bozeia: I don't think Lance thinks it's their problem that he's having issues. Bozeia: Which is where, maybe, I'm having my issue with fandom sometimes. Bozeia: ...Not that it stops me from partaking in the occasional super angst whump fic someone wrote. Bozeia: It's a guilty pleasure even if it's not how I would've written it fml. Bozeia: But yeah. Bozeia: The short of it is I read that post and now I feel almost guilty for liking Lance. Bozeia: And also I'm a little disappointed in a number of writers who maybe exaggerate the wrong things in their portrayal of him. Bozeia: And it just makes me go "grr". Bozeia: Also wait. Bozeia: Raf as in Raphael from TMNT? Bozeia: Isn't he like. Bozeia: Temperamental and super confrontational? Bozeia: I think? ( + ) Lomithiel: He's got kind of the self esteem complex, tho, too, in some iterations. ( + ) Lomithiel: Where he's kind of the tough guy to cover it up. Bozeia: Ahhhh. Bozeia: The only iteration I'm SUPER familiar with is the newest Nick show. Bozeia: I honestly don't remember if that one has self-esteem issues. ( + ) Lomithiel: (and totally, the "it's not how I would have written it but mmmmm guilty pleasure" fics are the sauce sometimes) ( + ) Lomithiel: That's the one I'm thinking of. ( + ) Lomithiel: And, like... it's not like he SHOWS it really ( + ) Lomithiel: And maybe it's bits that I'm reading too much into, but I get the sense that sometimes he feels like all his brothers are 'better' than him in different ways, I dunno. ( + ) Lomithiel: ANYWAY ( + ) Lomithiel: Yeh, it's hard.  Like, one day I'd like to write my Undertale fic, and Sans is a similar "rabid fanbase" character, where it's like "well of course you're writing a Sans-centric story doesn't EVERYONE?" Bozeia: Right??? That's how I feel. -.-;; Bozeia: To be fair, I only really have the strong desire to write three fics. Bozeia: And once I write them, barring new content from the upcoming Season Three maybe inspiring me, I think I'd probably be done with fic for Voltron. Bozeia: Two of them are Lance-centric, the last one isn't even centered around the main characters at all. Bozeia: I want to write a fic about fan characters set in the same setting. Bozeia: Which, I'm not sure how that'd be defined, exactly. Bozeia: But it is a thing.
