#literally idk why y'all like evil ppl so much i always see posts like ''i hope they stay evil'' WHATS WRONG WITH U
saw ur post about givin the black-coded highbloods (am i using that right) more depth to their intention and im sitting here w/ popcorn. please expand and if it is also about how imperialism and the empire sucks i am coming onto the stage and giving you one bajillion gazillion dollars
I legitimately have A LOT in mind on this specific topic, I think there are def specific characters, I'm like ALWAYS thinking about the purple bloods specifically with how heavy their coding is that even goes straight down to how they live.
The fuschias are (specifically Meenah/The Condense) are like literal caricatures of black woman. I feel how they are, specifically in behavior, isn't bad. But their behavior mixed with the fact their supposed to be the HIGHEST on the hemospectrum and ALSO described as FISH HITLER ???? It's like WEIRD???
Also if you look at the whole caste of Homestuck. The characters that are HEAVILY coded as black ( The Makara/and honestly purplebloods in general, Meenah/The Condense) are the most demonized and written as aggressors. YES, there are many aggressors in Homestuck that are mains but these characters actions are usually the ones that get highlighted most. (Honestly, ESPECIALLY the purples)
Like idk how to tell y'all how FUCKING WEIRD that is if y'all don't get it at this point.
My idea of writing into these characters with more depth is to not put all of them in a good light but to just give them DEPTH, more depth then just "the aggressive black" that has always been a huge stereotype in general on black ppl as a whole.
I've had the makaras on my mind since I was a baby so I ALREADY have shit in my head for them, the fuschias are another story bc even tho I can think and understand their characters I haven't thought about all the plot holes I need to fill, I also don't remember too much in their story bc I never really paid too much attention to them except Feferi (still not as much as I do with the characters I'm super invested in)
I actually have a whole post for the GHB bc I'm honestly super tired of the common "EVIL MURDERER THAT CRAVES VIOLENCE AND IS PROBABLY A R*PIST" interpretation for The Grand Highblood, not too mention it feels weird now due to the explanation i gave already. Let's also not forget the fact that the Grand Highbloods abbreviation "GHB" is also a shortened term for a commonly used date rape drug 馃え
Here's a link to that lil GHB Ted talk
Like the thing is I GET why ppl see the GHB as such once again it's still fucking weird like c'mon guys.
There's just so much but I cannot say everything rn bc I'll actually kill you with my words and my brain will actually die if I go on too long FHCFHCHFCGJCHFC but this is what I'm saying rn lolol
(also quickly includes this bc I feel like SOMEONE will pick at me for this, I didn't include Feferi in my lil parentheses due to the fact if it wasn't for the inclusion of Meenah and some more detailing of how the condencse is, no one would read her as black specifically bc of many reasons including that audience being racist whether it's intentional or not, she's still black and coded as such due to her ancestry and them being black caricatures)

sorting acotar characters into hogwarts houses
idk why i decided to make this post but it was fun sooo...
lmk if y'all agree or disagree. Also please no hate, sometimes a post is just for fun and i don't need any negativity. UNLESS its hate for elain which by all means go ahead ;) (because of ppls sensitivity, this joke isnt an invitaion to go on a full blown elain hate rant just offer a few jabs, especially if you agree on the elain section and move on, if you wanna go on a rant, message me or submit a post and i'll response, all the love <3)
Slytherin: Ambition, Cunning, Leadership, and Resourcefulness
Rhysand: of course Rhys is Slytherin, the man screams Slytherin. We all know he's cunning, often coming up with plans to get what he wants, leader well duh, he's a high lord and loves it and is great at it, he's ambitious, he's a dreamer, so of course, he wants more, and he's resourceful, always being able to think on the spot. Rhysands second house would be Ravenclaw for sure though.
Eris: uhhh do I even have to explain? wants to be Highlord, boom ambitious. seems to be the one in charge of his brothers and has many responsibilities, boom leader. being able to achieve what he wants, boom cunning. resourcefulness...yeah I don't got an example for that one, anyways 3/4.
Azriel: daddy az is a Slytherin, I mean obviously this is the best house (is it obvious yet that I'm a Slytherin ;) but fr, I debated sorting him into Ravenclaw, but even though yes he shows Ravenclaw traits it's not the ones we see the most of or the ones that really shine through Azriel's reserved personality. The main traits azzy boo here has from Slytherin are Cunning and Resourcefulness, and imo these are the ones we see from him every page.
Amren: im putting amren here too, she's literally both!
Gryffindor: Brave, Courage, Daring, Chivalrous
Cassian: this one is self-explanatory, how many times has he put others before himself, how many times has he endangered his own life to save others. that's a Gryffindor soul he has. he always tried to do the right thing, he's brave as hell and reckless at times it seems from the little snide comments we've gotten from the books, he would have been a marauder no doubt.
Tamlin: I hate to do this I do because I love my lions, but I had to put this piece of shit somewhere and since he reminds me of peter Pettigrew bc of his cowardness, I'm sorting him in here. I'm so sorry guys ;(
Morrigan: helloooo, the house colors are red and gold??? obviously mor would demand this house, yes demand. but not just that she's crazy brave, at only what 18? i think, she stood up to her family, making a decision she knew could have her ending up in a horrible situation. but she always is brave, shes gotta when her evil family is still in her life.
Hufflepuff: Loyal, Kind, Patient, Hardworking
Gwyn: i choose my girl gwyn for Hufflepuff bc let's face it, she is the embodiment of Hufflepuff. She's loyal to her new friends, emerie and Nesta, and the priestesses. She's kind as we can see when she first met Nesta and when emerie and Nesta shared their stories. She's very patient never snaps at that bitchy priestess who idk the name of as well as patient when it comes to her and Azriel's tender new friendship and hardworking, always doing her job, running around the library, for her work, always researching more ways to help the Valkyries. i debated putting her in Ravenclaw, because of her intelligence, but i think she's a Hufflepuff through and through.
Elain: IT HURTS MY HEART PUTTING PLAIN ELAIN IN THIS HOUSE. but I gotta, the only trait this plant sniffer has out of all the houses is "kind and patient" EVEN THOUGH SHE'S NOT REALLY LMFAO. I've made a post on explaining why this dirt lover isn't as kind as the books make her out to be, and I would argue she isn't actually patient at all, I mean did we miss how she was basically frustrated Nesta wasn't getting better even though it had been like what 2 weeks, LMFAO. but yeah I mean she's not loyal unless you have food and money then oh yeah she'll be loyal and she's not hardworking bc I mean she never did jack shit and still doesn't, sorry to do this to y'all.
Note: some of yall are so soft. this is not an anti elain post. sorry i insulted her but hey its my post, and i have commentary on each character to explain why i feel they belong in a certain house. sorry i happened to insult your fav. but this isnt an anti elain post, just like its not anti tamlin or anti eris. its just a post about all the characters period, which is why i inculded all of them in the tags. hey, i even insulted Nesta a little bit, but I'm not gonna tag anti-Nesta bc it's not a fucking hate post. get off this post if it comes across you and you don't like what I say, it's not hard to literally just scroll, trust me I've done it multiple times especially when it's a hate post on my beloved characters and they didn't use the anti tags. it's not fucking hard, grow up.
Ravenclaw: Wisdom, Wit, Individuality, Intelligence
Feyre: I debated putting queen feyre into Slytherin, I mean she shows the traits for sure, but it's not really if she shows the traits it's what shines the most in her. Ravenclaws are known for their creativity (bae luna Lovegood <3) and feyres an artist, even in her darkest times she remained an artist, always seeing portraits in her mind, always admiring the beautiful colors of the world. We know she's intelligent, picking up reading and writing quickly, and we also see it when she's strategizing, with the inner circle. Feyre is so wise, she had to be, she had to grow up quickly, you often see her in the books giving advice, because even though she's only 21, she's lived a lifetime. and the whole book of acomaf can show you how witty she is, I mean its what made us fall in love with feysand.
Amren: tiny snowball amren is literally a slytherclaw, she has all the traits from both. but because of how well she is with coding languages and how she always reads and does puzzles i think she'd enjoy being a Ravenclaw.
Nesta: I thought about this for a while, really looking into where she would thrive, Ravenclaw is for her no doubt. She's herself, always has been even when that wasn't such a good thing... but she's witty too if you make sure to not count the "the book is about...a book" I'm sorry that line makes me laugh every single time. we haven't really seen much of her intelligence but I'm guessing she is. but really she would love to be in a house where ppl are themselves and read, i can already imagine her creating a book club where people can be themselves and enjoy smutty books like her.
Lucien: originally I was going to sort him into Hufflepuff but then I remembered how intelligent he is, how witty, and I remembered in acowar he talked about how being the youngest of what 7 heirs? he had the chance to really educate himself which he loved to do, to really learn about his court, idk this man just screams intelligence to me.
I left out emerie bc i honestly don't know where to sort her, i feel like i just don't know her too well or understand her enough to sort her, so feel free to lmk where she would belong :)

Chatlog between strawberry-poison-frog and brighter-than-creations-dark
strawberry-poison-frog
Listen, there's a lot of stuff in that thread that I wouldn't be comfortable reposting to my blog. 聽I just wanted to say that I don't see myself as being against you.
brighter-than-creations-dark
yeah i know you said we're oppressed as purples and some level i appreciate it. i was mostly angry at the green i reblogged it from and other ppl like her. although i do have to say that a lot of the time it seems like y'all are the ones trying to get cookies from ppl who hate US
*on some level
聽strawberry-poison-frog
I actually want you to have everything. 聽 I want your votes to be counted as much as anyone else鈥檚. 聽I think you should get the best schools and universities-I actually liked your idea about how to teach purple skills at the higher levels.
brighter-than-creations-dark
.....
i mean honestly i'm starting to think that the greens are right. if we were smart then we'd have all that already.
strawberry-poison-frog
What do you mean?
brighter-than-creations-dark
imagine how much easier it would be for us. there's 100 of us for every 1 of you.
we wouldn't even have to, like, fucking kidnap people
strawberry-poison-frog
I don't think it has anything to do with being "stupid".
I do think the system is set up to try and keep people from realizing what they could have?
brighter-than-creations-dark
we are the system though, right? if we can't imagine it much less plan and work together to get it....maybe we don't deserve it.
strawberry-poison-frog
I am trying very hard to phrase this right.
If I ever get this right it'll be a song by the next day I swear.
brighter-than-creations-dark
i get that. one of the benefits of internet communication is that you probably have no idea if i'm trolling you or if this is actually what i think. there's a 70% chance that i'm in a deep pit of self-loathing and this is all actually what i think. i'd take those odds but i understand if you don't want to.
strawberry-poison-frog
No, I genuinely want to get it right.
You are not the system.
brighter-than-creations-dark
?
strawberry-poison-frog
There was something 'red' that wasn't actually in us. 聽Because it's gone now. 聽 (Not pollution do not make a crack about pollution).
I think it makes a lot of sense to talk about castes as systems of power somewhat separate from the people who are in them.
Helps me function, anyway. :P
brighter-than-creations-dark
i guess i don't see it. (idk if i even think pollution is real anymore? i always thought that eating polluted food as a child made me have executive dysfunction disorder but now see how y'all are doing over in miolee and knowing that decontam isn't doing anything to reverse brain damage i just do not fuckin know anymore)
(so forgive me if discovering that nope!! i'm just a dumbass because i am!!!! is fucking me up)
strawberry-poison-frog
I'm not really comfortable discussing pollution with born-cleans yet.
But going without enough food does a lot of damage even not considering pollution.
brighter-than-creations-dark
:/ i'm sorry. it didn't occur to me that ex reds might be bothered by talking about pollution.
i do want to understand what you mean about the caste thing but the older i get the more it seems to define every aspect of everything
strawberry-poison-frog
It's less the pollution itself than...everything that surrounded it, especially when it turns accusatory. I am clean. 聽I don't commit pollution violations.
I'm sorry. 聽It shouldn't. 聽And honestly, I don't think it's going to last.
brighter-than-creations-dark
well, i appreciate you being kind about this even though you don't have any reason to be. [internally: although i'm literally dying over the fact that most of the reds aren't stupid OR evil and we're the evil and stupid ones and the world will be better once we're irrelevant and out of everyone else's way and AAAAAAAAAAAA]
if you have any reading material you think would help me understand your perspective, i'd like to check it out
strawberry-poison-frog
I don't want you to vanish off the face of Amenta, I just want people to stop throwing around words like 'trash'.
Reading material, reading material...hmm.
There's this really great memoir out of Anitam.
"Clean, Casteless, and Red" is awesome, but they can be a bit...you have to understand where their language comes from, let me put it that way.
brighter-than-creations-dark
what do you mean?
strawberry-poison-frog
They don't hide their anger much, though it's anger at the system and at particular perpetrators? If you're uncomfortable with people being called "cleenz", it might not be for you right now.
brighter-than-creations-dark
nah i don't care about that.
i found out recently that most reds use cleenz to refer to all clean ppl and not just purples?
idk why i thought that but yeah. maybe it's a voa thing
strawberry-poison-frog
Cleenz are *obnoxious* clean people.
Not just purples, for sure.
brighter-than-creations-dark
okay. i do wanna read it then. and i won't try to start shit on your posts again. but...can you not tell anyone we had this conversation?
strawberry-poison-frog
I contacted you privately for a reason. 聽Not everything has to be public.
That said, the way some people will call others out for even talking to someone reddish? 聽Kind of what I was talking about. 聽Just keep that in mind going forward.
