#if you saw my homestuck stuff

[gothic-mothic]

gonna be so honest... I am scrolling thru ur entire post history just to procrastinate on 1 of my schools. However, it secretly is not procrastinating because one of the other schools has an assignment where I take a random online presence and see how much info I can gather (its relevant to my class) so who knows? If I'm feeling silly I might use my procrastination to be something useful.

Terrifying ! But I won’t discourage the way of education

Also don’t procrastinate ! Whatever you gotta do I believe you can do it ! Eat some food if you need and drink some water, you got this !

#if you saw my homestuck stuff #no you didn’t #also I say don’t procrastinate like I’m not actively avoiding my assignment right now #I don’t believe in consistency xo #.exe

thoughts on dave and aradia (<>)?

day 356

BIG fan tbh. in this house we love and respect timerails

truly yall read this log and tell me theyre not cute

#day 356 #year 4 #dave strider #aradia megido #aradave #homestuck #she really saw this kid and was like OH YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH YOUR MORTALITY?? :D #boy do i have some relevant life experience and wisdom to impart on THAT ISSUE SPECIFICALLY #and then she just. very gently and kindly makes the subject more approachable for ghostdave #the pesterlog i linked is literally my FAVORITE aradia moment. to me it is THE character defining moment for god tier aradia #yes she is being kind of ominous and trickstery at first #but it VERY quickly becomes clear shes got genuine concern for this kid she's had very little to do with up until this point #she really wants to connect with him over their shared time aspect stuff #and she really DOES care about how he feels about everything. she wants to help and she wants to put him at ease #because she KNOWS from experience that being dead and having to cope with what that means for you is like VERY UPSETTING AND TRAUMATIC #shes not just like. 'hee hee i think death is great and awesome because im edgy' #shes like 'no dude being dead is scary if you dont have anybody to explain this shit to you. so im going to explain it-' #'-and hopefully by the end of this conversation you will have some new things to feel relief and maybe even joy and excitement about' #'not just in spite of the death thing but BECAUSE of it' #i know shes spooky and has weirdgirl swag and we all love that about her but like #at her core she is a very KIND person. she may occasionally struggle to connect to people through the Death Special Interest Haze #but she WANTS to and when she DOES she is like. a genuinely very warm and comforting presence for her friends #ANYWAY. if andrew hussie or i guess james roach now want to give me an honorary doctorate for my 12+ years of intensive aradia studies #i will be here waiting patiently #timerails

i need to know if the people who are following me who are currently in the process of reading homestuck for the first time are doing it through the Unofficial Homestuck Collection because if you aren't please say so because um. Veteran homestuck here who wants to give you the best possible experience . please. <- guy who's prepping for an upcoming homestuck reread and as such has a whole list of reccomendations

#reply here or send an anon ask and ill ramble and give you my mod reccomendations. and links #i know i dont talk abt homestuck much on main because i. purged . most of my homestuck follows back during the #massive fucking antiblackness transmisogyny moment of 2020. that has. like permanently set me on the fucking defensive about it #as in i love homestuck to bits. but i saw the true colours of a lot of fan creators back then and. hrrgghghh #the way people drove all of the black creators and trans women out of the fandom just. god. god god god. #even though the text itself esp later on. like. wants so badly to try and make reperations for those exact things. even if imperfectly #sighhhh. but yeah im around to chat homestuck and if you catch me post-november 1st ill be rereading again #ive been in the fanbase since 2012 so im not The Most Veteran but ive seen my fair share. i can provide historical context for some stuff #basically anything act 6 and beyond i was there for #anyway wow i talked a lot. almost like i really really like homestuck but had to GET REAL QUIET ABOUT IT for a bit while it was. #a bit of a sore spot #lucabytetalks #also i love the epilogues nuiances warts and all so. #that already makes me a black sheep in this godforsaken fanbase

[weaselishmcdiesel]

i never finished hs but tavros was always my fav troll. which hermit would u assign him to? :D

IM THINKING. IM THINKING ZEDAPH. im thinking zedaph. I'm thinking that zedaph could help inspire tavros's whimsy like you have no idea. but i also think zed is just strange enough to keep tavros perpetually confused and kinda lightly terrified of him <3 I HOPE YOU LIKE THIS PAIR :D im trying to put more thought into these pairings now- i have a list prepared if anyone asks for any more

#weasel speaks #asks! #hs #hc #blockdad au #i didnt know you hadnt finished hs! i just saw you rebloggin my homestuck stuff and i assumed you had akjshdf hehe #hope you dont mind the spoilers i sometimes reblog asdjkhf

u know what?? im gonna throw an absolute curveball here and say how about you write a lil somethin homestuck for shits and gigs :]

There were certain things one simply could not prepare oneself for, even if the one in question were as put-together and on top of things and...oh who was he kidding, the second Eridan realized he wasn't having some sort of land-based hallucination and Vriska was, in fact, headed his way, his collapsing and expanding bladder-based aquatic vascular system kicked into overdrive.

See, he remembered the last thing he'd messaged her on Trollian, was the thing - there really wasn't any forgetting that - and that, in combination with the sheer determination of her stride, uh, was making him a little nervous.

"Heyyy Vris - " was about all he was able to get out before her hands were on his face, both of them, her palms pressing in on his cheeks until his mouth puckered and his voice came out pinched as he continued, " - not sure how I'm feelin'...that you came out...all this way..."

The particular curve of her grin did not, it stood to be noted, help matters, especially not when paired with the simpering tone of her drawl, "You have got to be joking...of course I came out all this way, Eridan...after such a positively mortifying confession, I thought you deserved a face-to-face response, so." She took a breath, squared her shoulders, and, leaning in just a touch closer, absolutely purred, "Gross!"

Then, with all her might, she gave him a single well-calculated shove to send him sprawling to the ground, which, all considering, wasn't even close to the worst thing he'd imagined could happen...so before she could turn on her heel to leave, he had to ask, "Should I take that as a 'maybe,' then?"

six sentence sat(or)sunday!!!

i don't usually attach extra stuff to these fills but i'd be remiss if i didn't blow a gentle kismesis smooch to tumblr user @malum--in--se, my fav vriska roleplayer of all time

i'd let you push me down the stairs any day

#mechromanced #six sentence weekend #queenie writes other stuff #ash the sound i made when i saw this curveball comin my way saldkfjklsdjf #its been roughly 87 years since ive written anything homestuck but LORD HELP ME HOW IT ALL CAME RUSHING BACK #malum--in--se and i roleplayed these two SO FUCKING MUCH back in the day AHHHHHHHHH #honestly i think when you know erivris was like. the very first building block of our friendship so much shit makes sense

[noirandchocolate]

I’m rereading Homestuck alongside listening to the Ranged Touch podcast about it (not caught up yet) and I just got to Alphakidsession Jack Noir’s first appearance. And I am fondly remembering how throughout the period when Act 6 was being posted, anytime the comic was focused on this Jack or also Slick when he reappeared, the fandom—at least that I experienced here—was like, really happy and got a kick out of their shenanigans. And these were not only just fun times in their own right, but very welcome respites from watching people get violently angry about fictional teenagers acting like teenagers and/or about what updates were problematic or disappointing etc etc etc.

Like whatever the Discourse might’ve been about Vriska, or Dirk, or Caliborn or whoever, the Homestuck fandom always felt to me like it was United in giggling over funny chess alien guys with stupid noodle legs doing dumb murder shit, and those moments were truly great to have been a part of.

#kidk says stuff #Homestuck #I wasn’t around yet when the intermission was posting but that was probably really fun #Homestuck Fandom that I Saw: oh my godddd I hate z character can you believe they said THAT? they’re so mean and— #Homestuck Fandom: wait is Jack getting beaten up by the cops? lol! lmao even!!! #Homestuck: *goes away for a full year* … *updates with panels of Slick*/Fandom: OUR BOY!!!!!!!

[fefairys]

it is so tricky recommending people read the homestuck author annotations because on the one hand there is a lot of really genuinely insightful stuff in there that helps you perhaps peer into the intent and the process behind some of the choices. but on the other hand sometimes hussie likes to get ironic and satirical with little signaling of when that is happening. sometimes it is hard to tell the difference between when they’re being serious and when they’re just being obtuse and bullshitting or just making a stupid joke.

i saw someone tag one of the quotes i shared as “wow i’ve never seen hussie criticize vriska before” no no he does it all the time! but the thing is they OFTEN do it in a backwards way where they state something bad vriska did and then commend her for it. like. as a “joke”. this is especially true when tavros is in the picture, where they will also bash tavros for being a loser and “deserving” what vriska does to him. in *my* view, this is all satire, making fun of the way some overzealous vriska stans feel on the matter. they like vriska as character, and then they fall into the trap of looking past her transgressions and putting her on a pedestal and therefore putting tavros on a like… reverse pedestal where he sucks and is the worst for no reason. and hussie likes playing into this in the annotations.

but a lot of times, when tavros isn’t on screen and it is say, vriska and terezi, or vriska and john, hussie will actually get real for a second and drop the act and actually talk about how fucked up vriska is.

hussie doesn’t like vriska because they literally excuse her actions, they like vriska because she drives the story and stirs controversy among both the characters and the fans. that’s also why they like to pretend to excuse and even support her actions: it’s controversial. they love to get a rise out of people. but they state this in the notes CONSTANTLY that vriska is their favorite because of the controversy she creates.

this is also how hussie tends to talk about themselves in the notes. they state a writing choice that was maybe awkward or not well thought out and then bend over backwards to justify it and say how great they are, actually, for making that choice. “and you’re stupid if you thought it was a bad choice btw. i am always right.” like come on. that’s funny. they don’t actually believe that, they’re being FUNNY about writing decisions that they second-guess in retrospect.

another thing that makes it hard to recommend the homestuck author notes is the incest jokes.

but looking past that, the annotations genuinely offer a lot of insight about certain narrative and character choices and are, on a whole, a very good and interesting read. you just have to be prepared for ableist “jokes” and weird comments about incest :/

#homestuck #sams reading homestuck again #i see a lot of ppl say they get ‘mixed signals’ from hussie but like #no it’s just that sometimes they’re bei bc serious and sometimes they’re being an ironic little asshole #and it can be hard to tell the difference

[davekat-sucks]

Its not often I participate in online arguments... or ever... but just this once, I'll throw my hat in the ring. You right, DaveKat is not a good ship at all. I'm a new Homestuck reader (currently at page 4488). I'll never ever get into the sequel stuff of Homestuck bc of the horror stories I've heard of it but even then, when I heard DaveKat as a ship I was like, "Huh??? That's a ship??? and its popular??????" because I don't see the vision. Dave and Karkat have no chemistry like what is their relationship like?? Karkat going on his millionth rant that day and Dave pissing on him for it like??? AND there isn't any build up to it to which I heard it was forced upon. Like for what? For what purpose?? But you know what I do like? DaveJade. I'm a big DaveJade fan. Not only do they have a lot of chemistry but like their dynamic, the contrast between the silliness of Jade and the cool guy Dave is SO fun and SO SO cute. Also Also, Dave and Jade's relationship just feels so real to me. Like I think Jade is like the only person Dave really enjoys talking with other than y'know, Rose and John. iirc (bc its been a while since I continued reading HS) the only time Dave smirked while talking to someone was with Jade on page 382 (which I only found out ta'day :0) and no doubt in my mind Dave was excited to meet Jade when she finally got into the medium and helped her out finding the frogs on her planet. I also think that Jade would be a very supportive figure for Dave givin his insecurities about himself, that at least she thinks Dave is very cool even when he thinks otherwise. Another thing, Jade did not have to go out there dressed all fancy n crap like for who you so fancy for? DAVE OBVIOUSLY!!! Also seeing art of Dave trying so hard to keep his cool around Jade is so cute and funny DaveJade is just so CUTE GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love DaveJade :)

Also I ship Karkat and Terezi bc they have a very funny dynamic lol (I think what sold me on DaveJade was this album art from Vol 8 LOOK HOW CUTE THEY ARE!!!!)

Dave and Jade could really help and support each other. Jade wants to see the outside world and gain connections with people as Dave learns to open himself more and know he can be vulnerable at times with those he care for so that he can have confidence to still be strong and cool in his own way. Both of them can be out to do whatever they want together. If not just them, then with friends too. See the world they have never saw before when they were stuck at home (get it? Cuz Homestuck lmao). I think some of the Homestuck pairings was suppose to be this. Couples that not only have great chemistry, but also ones that can help grow and mature as people for the new universe they would eventually live in. And it's that support that would soon lead to be with their friends to rise and stand up whatever is facing them. It's why DaveJade works. I don't see it working with Davekat. Most fanon I see has them kind of stationary. Never changing to be something else. Even now, they are just depicted as people that stay the same and too nervous to grow out from their comfort zone.

[snoddie]

Normally I don't discuss big drama topics like this on my quirky little Tumblr blog, but there's something about the whole HBomberGuy plagiarism video that truly fascinates me.

It's the way Internet Historian fans reacted to it.

Illuminaughtii fans were pissed at what she did and viewers were calling her out for years, especially after what she did to her former colleagues. AVGN fans have been dissatisfied with the state of his content for a while now, James Somerton practically betrayed his audience and Filip Miucin is so beloathed that I deadass forgot his name while writing this and thought his name was Patrick.

Basically everyone saw what these creators did and we're collectively either unsurprised or disappointed to say the least. Internet Historian fans however, they were probably the most vitriolic community during this entire event. They were quick to either label the video a hit piece, claim Bomberman was slandering IH, discredited the video because of Bomberman's political views and friendship with HassanAbi (despite a majority of the video going after a left leaning LGBT analyst..) and in general, just kinda meat riding IH.

I don't think Bomberman went about the IH stuff perfectly, I definitely believe he had some hang ups with him due to IH's more...let's just say 'Chud' style of humor and the audience he cultivated. But to say the entire segment or even the whole video was a Historian hit piece is misguided at best and dishonest at worst. Historian might be reserved, but there's no denying that his silence regarding the plagiarism allegations kinda did lead to a snowball effect, people are too familiar with false copyright claims and some were a bit..too eager to bring the Jews into this. Yes he did resolve a lot of this, but there's a level of distrust I feel now, like how I feel with the other examples Bomberman used, if they were willing to do it once, what's stopping them from doing it again just with an even more obscure source? Historian and some of the others don't even have the algorithm breathing down their necks because they upload as frequently as Deltrarune chapters come out, so why not take time to come up with your own shit?

This is why I found the sudden nosedive into politics so...bizarre, because I didn't see this with the other supporters, not even Somerton and he's arguably the most political creator of the group.

If I were to armchair psychology my way into some kinda explanation, I'd probably have one of two reasons:

Internet Historian is a beloved creator who many people consider a trustworthy and extremely creative individual, and hearing him be accused of something scummy can have the most loyal fans feeling a bit wounded and defensive. I was definitely a huge fan of his work before the Bomberman video hit, I probably watched The Fall of 76 ...76 times? So learning it was made by someone willing to pull from someone else's work and pass it off as his own, it kinda stung.

The second (and let's be honest more likely) possibility is that there's political motivation behind it. No one can deny that Historian has appealed to more 'Anti SJW' crowds before, those people tend to be either more right leaning, center leaning or left leaning but don't like the way extremists behave. If you watched any video about Tumblr IH has made, it's quite clear whether intentionally or not what kinda audience he appeals to. Likewise, when the one person IH's audience despises the most (a leftist commentator, male feminist and someone actively criticizing IH) shows up, their instinctual reaction is to cry 'woke libtard getting mad at gigachad meme man'.

The reason all of this frustrates me, and why I even crawled out of my comfort zone of posting random crap and gay Homestuck drawings, is because it's a genuine example of political brainrot and creator dickriding muddying the waters of the discussion being had. Like Bomberman or not (I like his shit but don't always agree with his takes) you have to admit his video opened the floodgates for people actually kinda giving more of a shit about plagiarism online than before, highlighting how easy it is to get away, how there's almost nothing you can do about it law wise unless you're REALLY lucky and how much it can hurt genuinely talented or marginalized people.

And I'd hate for us to just ignore that conversation because you don't wanna admit your favorite funny internet guy might not be the best person.

Here's an unrelated picture of Wurmple eating soup.

[borzoilover69]

dear borzoi, what are some of your favorite homestuck ships other than dirkjake?

Dear jestinggenesis,

Hello! I don't often think about romantic relationships other than dirkjake, but i like a lot of other ships!

jakeuu: really funny dynamic of jake full knowing caliborn is evil and a bitch and batting his eyes at him like :"you want to bash me over the head with a metal pipe? do you reallly want to? promise?" and generally trolling caliborn at caliborns expense. parallel to

johnkat: friend leaders! really cute dynamic and one my friends are into :) i think john and karkat have a really nice dynamic before the meteor trip and its a shame we dont see more of them. i remember i saw a tweet like how karkat has the patience to explain stuff out to john, and john teaches karkat to lighten up and i was like oh word.. real!!

davejake: [ insert 3 paragraph elaboration how this is essentially canon to me that it happens post game because theyre both pricks that would hook up with each other. it wouldnt be good and its certainly not endgame but its funny as fuck for a multitude of reasons]

vrisrezi: vrisrezi and dirkjake enjoyers are same crowd and i loove them. i still need to draw them sometime.

honourable mentions that i dont have thoughts on but i really love: daverezi, davejade, rosemary, katnep, solkat, janeroxy (lesbian yaoi), callieroxy, jakeranea (REALLY complicated but real to me in the way that i think had it not been for the situation it was they wouldve dated for a short time and then ended up acting even MORE divorced about it than even john and vriska could. like they would be like divorced crazy interesting way.)

[yanderes-galore]

Hi, I'm so excited to see the Homestuck and Hiveswap stuff you'll be writing! Could I request general red romance HCs for Karkat with a human darling?

I'd love to! This is my first time writing Karkat so let's see how this goes ^^

Yandere! Karkat Vantas with Human! Darling

Pairing: Matesprit ❤️

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Troll/Human pairing, Obsession, Manipulation, Clingy behavior, Internal conflict, Slight stalking, Jealousy, Possessive behavior, Dubious relationship, Protective behavior mentioned, Biting, Gamzee is helping Karkat.

Karkat is another troll that would have to take time in order to fall for a human.

It's not impossible for him to love a human but it does take a while.

Karkat comes off as he typically does with people, which can give off the impression he hates you.

He's volatile, moody, and every word from his mouth seems like some sort of slight.

It's a pain to communicate with him through the chat client and in person.

Karkat really is a troll you have to get used to before you can actually befriend him.

Even when he begins to grow fond of a human he still comes off as arrogant and rude.

Then feels bad when he hurts you emotionally.

He's not really all that violent compared to most, he's mostly bark.

He's a slow burn yandere meaning it will take awhile for obsession to kick in.

Which is fine because by that time you can hear him ramble about quadrants and understand how troll relationships work.

Before you see his obsession you'll already know how Karkat acts.

Nothing much truly happens between you until you arrive on the meteor like Rose and Dave or meet him through Dream Bubbles.

When you manage to interact in person he'll become softer with you.

He's a bit defensive and crabby as usual, including towards you.

Although as he begins to develop flushed feelings for you... you'll notice he relents on being so aggressive.

At first he finds the idea of having a human in a quadrant as weird.

Even though you've listened to him explain quadrants and shipping charts he wonders if it could even work.

Flushed is the closest to human love... but what is he thinking?

Karkat would be in denial about his red feelings for you.

He'd try to ignore them when interacting with you.

Yet you'll notice he's always deep in thought with a vacant gaze in his eyes as he stares.

If anyone tries to imply he has red feelings for you he's incredibly defensive and flips out.

The last thing he needs is you hearing such a thing.

It's not too hard to tell he has a thing for you.

Sure, his private chats with you and weakness towards you could be a sign of close friendship.

But many people interpret it for what it is.

You actually don't mind Karkat too much when you become friends.

He becomes less volatile with you and tries to tone down his screaming.

He genuinely appears softer around you, like he's more willing to be gentle if it's just you around.

It would take him time to admit he has red feelings for you.

He just hates to say it but he really does love you a lot... he's probably felt for you ever since he saw you in person for the first time.

Now with you chatting and talking all the time he's bound to release his feelings of hesitancy towards telling you.

He just waits until the time is right.

Meanwhile he'll observe you from a distance when he isn't with you.

He honestly hates the idea of asking for advice on how to tell you.

Gamzee, his Moirail, is insane by this point and Karkat feels asking how to confess would end horribly.

Dave is another answer yet Karkat dreads the teasing and forward approach Dave may advise him to take.

As a result Karkat may just bite the bullet at some point and ask you.

"HEY, UM, I KNOW YOU MAY FIND THIS WEIRD... YOU TOTALLY CAN I UNDERSTAND BUT... HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF I SAID I HAD RED FEELINGS FOR YOU? WE TALKED ABOUT THIS WITH THE WHOLE QUADRANT THING. I WANT YOU AS MY MATESPRIT, THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY."

He's worried he'll come off too harsh with his voice or if you find it odd to date a troll so he just wings it in the end.

If you reject him then Karkat tries to be rational with this decision.

He says he understands and is willing to wait but he gets impatient and worried when he sees you hang out with others.

He wants to be your Matesprit badly.

He hates feeling so desperate when it comes to you.

Yet Karkat eventually forces his way into your life even if you didn't say yes.

He's no delusional, he knows what he's doing, but he can't bear the thought of you not being his red love.

If you say yes to him, either when he first asks or after his persistence, things become much easier for him.

Karkat, despite his volatile nature, seems like he'd be okay with affection.

He's able to calm his Moirail so he may be fine with being affectionate towards his Matesprit.

You are one of the only people he can properly tone down his volatile nature for.

If he ended up forcing you into his red quadrant then he'll try his best to calm and pacify you.

Karkat also seems like a troll who'd become jealous as a yandere.

He has a temper and can get overly protective/possessive about his perceived Matesprit.

Karkat is okay with both verbal and physical affection.

Although he prefers to give you physical affection.

Karkat seems like he could be a bad yandere, as in troubling to deal with.

This can be assumed by his volatile nature.

However, I feel Karkat can be okay to deal with.

He's not violent unless he has to be.

Most of the time if he's jealous he'll be moody or yell at whoever is causing hia jealousy.

He's more Chihuahua-like than anything.

Karkat may cling to you more, sometimes even in public, to show he claims you as his red love.

This would go along with the HC I have where trolls are possessive over quadrantmates.

Karkat goes from despising the idea of having a human in his quadrant to being overly defensive of his human Matesprit.

His jealousy and envy could be a bit problematic although I don't believe he'll intentionally hurt any of his friends other than something akin to a light fistfight.

I can't see him killing for you unless it's go save you.

He prefers to use words to descalate a situation due to being a leader.

Like with most yandere trolls, Karkat probably bites.

Not because he likes your pain, but because he wants to show others he takes claim to you.

He has to be careful as human skin and bodies are less durable than his own.

Karkat often wants to be vulnerable around his darling more than others.

He's vulnerable around his Matesprit and Moirail the most, although friends may also see a softer side to him.

Speaking of which, just as a little bonus, Gamzee may try to keep you and Karkat together.

Even if you aren't his Matesprit willingly.

Karkat would try to be gentle when showing affection.

Compared to his cranky personality, he's soft with holding you or kissing you.

Unless he feels your attention is being stolen from him... then his hold tightens.

If given the chance, Karkat may kidnap with help from his Moirail.

He tries not to but is he feels he has to, he will.

Karkat becomes open to exploring his human Matesprit and looks at ways you two are compatible with each other.

He's been one to closely study relationships through media.

If he finds you two are having issues in your Matespritship, he'll find ways to mediate it.

He won't be letting you go, though.

He's grown too attached to you to do that.

Overall, Karkat would be hesitant and even find the idea of a human in his quadrants repulsive.

Although with time, as he becomes friends with his darling, the idea of it will grow on him.

Karkat would not mind his darling being human once he fully falls for them.

You actually become one of the only people he can unwind around.

Karkat will soon put aside his views on human/troll pairings and indulge in his feelings within his obsession...

By the time he makes you his Matesprit, he isn't willing to let you go.

"YOU'RE MINE! YOU'RE MY MATESPRIT, WE'VE BEEN DESTINED SINCE I'VE CREATED YOUR UNIVERSE! DON'T LEAVE ME, I PROMISE I'LL BE BETTER FOR YOU AS LONG AS I HAVE YOU!"

Hey GG! I saw on Twitter that you're giving Brandon Sanderson a try, and I'm curious if that means you'll give the locked tomb a shot next? It's definitely a series with a lot of Wild Writing Decisions, but I think the good outweighs the bad and I'd love to hear your opinion on it.

i read gideon the ninth. i admired how unapologetically modern (i.e. online) its tone was, and it even encouraged me to aim for more of that in my own writing. but unfortunately i just couldn't get invested in the story. it is heavily homestuck-flavored which does not agree with my digestive system. i didn't dislike it, but also didn't finish the first book with any strong desire to read the second. sowwy.

while i'm on the subject, people sometimes tag art of loic as palamedes and i'm going to stuff them in a locker about it. you can't just see any dude with glasses and call him your blorbo. that's my freakin blorbo you're talkin about.

[newttxt]

exceptiional work on that 4/13 drawing for being the exact visual experience of being attacked with a large metal baseball bat while scrolling down ones dashboard not just for the homestuck of it all but the SCATHING accuracy to characterization. i cant argue or get mad because youre absolutely 100% right. that is EXACTLY what troll straw hats would look like. that is PRECISELY what their horns and colors would be. you peered into a parallel dimension where all media is made of homestuck humans and trolls and saw this like some kind of terrible oracle. im applauding you the way a warlord does to the adversary that defeats him right before being executed . im in awe. im furious. great work all around thank you for sharing

ANKDKDKCKDK THANK YOU SO MUCH

yes. i actually put a lot of thought into that. i dont know if you actually wanted to hear it, but now i have an excuse to ramble.

the whole thing started as an excuse to make law’s death tattoo say ~ath like in homestuck (its a pun on tilde + ath. aka “til death”). but then my brain started whirring. like making mutant blood luffy (god-coded) but the universe is a beetle not a frog.

i wanted the straw hats as trolls, and the rest of the worst gen as humans. then i was coming up with horn designs (chopper keeps his. usopps are slingshot shaped. etc). that was fun. i knew i wanted zoros to be santoryuu and sanjis to be curly. oh, and fuchsia seadweller sanji who hides his blood color anyway.

idk the rest is stuff that i couldnt jam in one drawing. law dragging luffy to his quest bed after he gets a hole punched in his chest. beposprite. eustass kid setting his strife specibus to like, wingnutkind, and killer telling him “you cant change that, you know.”

normal things. im normal about one piece and homestuck.

#ask #will i draw more??? only time will tell #also thank u anon. i rly appreciate it. this ask made me smile a lot

[weirdmageddon]

ur davejade posting has me Remembering and goddddd. theyre so good. thank u

i want to make a davejade analysis masterpost but the funniest thing with these asks is that theyre the ones that really prompt me to put my thoughts together in some direction and i ALWAYS find a new implication or connection to talk about. like while i’m writing the connections will just make themselves known. if i made a masterpost i’d have to update it every time i think of something new which defeats the purpose of a masterpost because it’d never be finished. so i just like to spitball into separate posts and just shove them in my davejade tag. i was NOT expecting to get back into homestuck with davejade at the forefront but i can see things now i didnt then

im gonna go off again because it’s so obvious to me on this jumpy scrambled “reread” that dave has a fat fucking heart-on / affection erection for jade. hes tryin soo hard to be cool but hes like this with jade actually behind the screen and she knows it

words and deeds of a court jester dude who totally has a crush on his childhood internet friend and doesnt acknowledge it (btw this is woefully incomplete for the sake of brevity but i could elaborate in another post. i actually have a draft (edit: posted) with a shit ton of more analysis stuff in it on why he acts differently with her than other characters):

the next day (chronologically) when jade messages him:

hussie commentary: “Dave's one-pixel-smile there means that there are literally more than ten thousand drawings on the internet of Dave and Jade kissing. That pixel literally made that happen.”

i mean … it sure is easy to assume how he feels about jade based on the way he talks to her and when his sprite only ever smiles one other time in the entire fucking comic and the reality of that other one was arguable since it was during [S] Karkat: Mental breakdown and its likely karkat was hallucinating it based on the content and context of the flash

nah this one was real. and it was from the first conversation we saw between dave and jade in the comic and thus set the standard for their dynamic. and remember old school 2009 dave was kind of a menace so it says a lot

this girl was special enough to him to warrant that pixel

jade calling dave a “huge baby” for him getting nervous about a piss while she’s his server player. he makes such a big deal about it while shes like oh my god just go:

and the absurdity of the situation being one of his favorite memories

i know pesterquest isn’t “canon” canon but it passes my character essence check and still contributes something of substance to my argument. like i can say this is not at all out of place if these characters were plopped into these scenarios. remember this takes place on the same day as the above, 4/13/2009. theyre the same age as above and have the same relationship as they did above, just in a different scenario that wasn’t possible in canon wherein they didn’t play sburb

Jade wanders away from that window and toward another one, whose view is exclusively centered on the rolling blue. She presses a hand against the misty pane and sighs. JADE: you know, dave talks a lot about coming to visit me here. i mean, all of my friends do but dave especially JADE: in his usual davey way of course, which means making lots of jokes and not sounding very serious about it JADE: "yeah im itching to put on my safari hat and come traipsing down to doomdeath archipelago to get my ass murdered by infinidog the eldritch retriever," stuff like that JADE: i know he really means it though! he wants to see me, just like i want to see him JADE: but its just wishful thinking

anyway daves reaction to seeing his isolated online friend for the first time irl cry because she has guests. its even better with the character sprites

JADE: we can play with all my toys and jam out to some music and stay up all night chatting with each other and oh my god oh my god youre here youre all here this is really happening!!!!! Jade's next laugh verges on hysterical and she's got tears streaked down her cheeks. Dave looks a little perturbed. DAVE: wow holy shit uh DAVE: its cool jade no need to get so DAVE: like this DAVE: kind of fucks me up seeing you cry DAVE: not that im trying to make this all about me DAVE: i mean uh

and so after mspa reader’s intervention, who do we see with jade the next time we see her?

dave. and hes goofing with her squiddles while grinning

DAVE: okay so lets see what we got here Jade's room is bright and cheery, fresh flowers in the hanging pots, curtains pulled open wide to let in the afternoon sunlight. Jade sits on her bed while Dave paces in front of a line of squiddle toys, carefully assembled in neat ranks. DAVE: this blue one is clearly in charge look at his dominant posture DAVE: also hes the only motherfucker not tentacle deep in his homie DAVE: hes an untangled buddy that is some shit really cuts to the core of like DAVE: DAVE: emotions JADE: its actually because the magnets in him are messed up, and always have been!! DAVE: harley you are ruining the magic come on

basically what im putting together is that dave was REALLY fixin to spend some time with jade. extending into her sphere of interests that he doesnt express much with anyone else; you can tell he really wanted to engage with her in a less irony poisoned way. he’s softer with her than his other friends and god forbid the trolls, he is much less skeptical about things when talking to her (he even questions why he just seems to go along with her eccentric precognitive statements but he doesnt change his attitude about it), he showers her with his music and raps to the point where jade is expectant of getting poetry from him. rap IS poetry. please realize that dave is sending her his poetry, regardless of how goofy it may be. this is the level on which im viewing this at and once you realize this theres no going back. there comes a time in every homestuck’s life where they have to see how dave interacted jade and conclude that he had a cute little puppy crush on her unbeknownst to either of them. and it was adorable. and now, in the year 2023, it’s your time to realize this too. no going back.

and btw it all came back around…………………nimblest son of a bitch who had the gumption to glue a nasty pair of latex cat lips to his face

for a reason that wasnt a joke anymore

don’t think ive seen anyone talk about this parallel at the end to one of their first conversations in the comic. maybe somebody did back in the day but i never saw it

AG: You see John, you and I actually have some things in common, 8ut you couldn't possi8ly understand why yet. AG: So I'm planning on helping you!

Well, she's clearly not talking about their personalities - in fact, when Vriska was first introduced, she struck me as John's natural opposite. From where I'm standing, all they share is a signature color.

EB: ok, i will be sure to let my guard down. EB: psyche!!!!!!!!!

John's never been a complete chump, but - and I mean this in the nicest way possible - his guard is permanently down. I don't think it'll be too hard for Vriska to mess with him, whatever her goals truly are.

EB: if you don't mind, i would like to try to go back to sleep. EB: i was dreaming about something important. AG: You can't sleep now, John! AG: What a8out J8de????????

And it seems she's done her homework. Vriska isn't on a random walk, like Karkat - she's taken the time to study the kids' session and familiarize herself with its events. Any actions she nudges John into taking here will be very deliberate.

AG: Where the hell do you think you're going to go? You don't even have your copy of the game yet! [...] EB: do you know where i am supposed to get it? AG: Easy! Just w8 around for a few minutes. [...] AG: Even though you were going to do this stuff anyway, it turns out I am the reason you were going to do it anyway in the first place! AG: Your timeline is my we8, and suddenly you are all tangled up in it, wriggling and helpless.

I mean, it's kind of arguable. No matter what you do with John, here, you're not really the 'reason' that he was going to do anything. John has to do these things, because the Alpha Timeline says so, and it doesn't care if you approve or not.

Vriska is only able to pretend that she's 'causing' current events because they're what she wants to happen anyway. If she saw a future event that she didn't approve of, though, she'd be powerless to prevent it. Her control isn't real.

EB: so, you seem to like 8's a whole bunch, and i guess you are like, kind of spidery themed or something? AG: Yeah! EB: haha, spiders are gross! AG: Fuck you!!!!!!!!

Heh, he's actually getting to her - but for the record, John is dead wrong. Spiders are awesome.

...could it be? After all this time?

After 2'627 pages, we've finally done it.

Homestuck's original objective has finally been completed!!
