"But why do John and Vriska get 95% of the gender headcanons when there are all these other characters for whom one can make a much stronger textual case" look, it's very simple: John gets all the gender headcanons on account of being the closest thing the comic has to a main character, and Vriska gets all the gender headcanons on account of the fact that she designs tabletop RPGs.

DIRK: There's just something about becoming a god that's... inherently dehumanizing.

DIRK: Like, everyone's focused on the Ascension or becoming Greater, but not enough people focus on what is Lost of you.

DIRK: You're not a person anymore, just a personification. You're a concept, an abstraction. All neatly-defined boundaries and borders, none of the vagaries or blurring or blurring of lines or grey areas that come from being mortal.

DIRK: You can never change, now. Never grow or evolve. You are this, forever stagnant. And the thing you've been made to embody might not even be your best trait.

JAKE: Just like taylor swift.

DIRK: ...

DIRK: I want to be alone with this guy for a minute.

ok. i see u complaining about how long it takes to get to shb, how are you supposed to get your friends into the fucking WONDER that is shb when they have to get through all of The Other Stuff First

I used to have this problem with Homestuck, people who wanted to skip to the trolls, or pass on the intermissions. I will repeat what I said then now:

The later stuff is mind-blowingly good BECAUSE of the setup slog. which is also fun btw, you’re having trouble selling it because you keep saying it’s a slog. it’s good storytelling! yes even arr and sb (i didn’t say it was the best storytelling!! but i’ve seen way fuckin worse!!!). You need to spend 300 hours with the characters and to watch them grow gradually for a LOT of the little character moments to even register later on, and i’m not even talking about the ascian reveals. estinien is a completely different character. thancred’s deep-seated issues have been brewing subtly since 1.0. the socio-economic political climate of the universe is SO important and SO well set up by the arr random task/fetch quests (BABY INCONSEQUENTIAL QUESTS. YEAH THE STUPID ONES IN THE INTRO PRE-SASTASHA SEQUENCES WITH THE NPCS YOU DONT REMEMBER. THOSE.) and that info is integral to character decisions made in every expansion afterwords, and is built upon consistently. the consistent build-up of the lore is, in my opinion, almost entirely the reason ffxiv’s writing stands out against other games of the genre. and it’s BOLSTERED by the fact that it’s a live service game with a shit ton of expansions you HAVE to play through single file when you start fresh. narrative games are usually 15-20 hours. ffxiv is giving you 500+ in msq alone (won’t get into how much the optional and side quests support the storytelling as well).

It’s like one of those long-running book series. you can’t ask someone to read Just the last book of animorphs and expect them to understand the narrative implications of what’s happening, or to get attached to the characters enough to care. that attachment and understanding is built by spending time and reading the other 1500 books prior. shb should not be treated as a stand-alone. in fact it’d be a bad standalone. it’s good BECAUSE there’s 500+ hours of playtime required to get there.

#this is not on the post bc that person was lamenting the fact that u do in fact have to convince people to play The Whole Game in order #for a proper fandom integration #which i absolutely relate to #HOWEVER #after years of dragging my highschool friendgroup into homestuck by forcing them to read through act1 before they could decide to quit #arr and other early expansions on NON NEGOTIABLE AND EQUALLY IMPORTANT FOR LATER STORY BEATS #this is also why wow doesn’t work. they don’t let you play past expansions. drives me NUTS #meg speaks #ffxiv

I love the idea that the Homestuck Multiverse has a built in autotranslate that's just really super-lazy, making it simultaneously both Really Good and Really Shitty? Like:

ala This Comic you say a human name to a troll and its completely incomprehensible to them, because names refer to particular individuals and their meanings(or lack of) are very culturally and historically contingent and your language is utterly alien to them, but if you say "Troll![Name]", you've provided the translator with a Context, so it just searches for some person in Their culture who is contextually similar to YOUR person, and gives them that name instead XD

Random thing. I was just thinking how in CSAU Dave is tecnically dating two alien fairies, and i love tinkerbell so i came out with this.

I imagine Peter pan wasn't Dave's thing growing up, but if the oportunity presented, he would have escaped to neverland in a heartbeat

the best thing about going through old posts from 2012 is remembering how people on tumblr and the internet in general back then spoke EVERY other WORD in CAPS LOCK while reacting to things they vaguely liked as if oh my god. OH MY GOD. IT WAS THE GREATEST THING EVER!!!!! while PUNCTUATING THEIR SENTENCES with EXCLAMATIONS!!! but never splitting apart sentences word by word with them as we do more often now and instead

for emphasis so that you end up reading everything very dramatically with lots of PAUSES and changes in caaaaaaadence~ and an. ti. ci. PATION!!!

with quirky visual references to accompany this fanciful theater kid julliard applicant text. 2012 was the year of the theater kids and everyone including the theater kids knew it. and nowadays online we're all just lowercase derailing train of thought no punctuation no excitement just mumbling quietly to ourselves snarky hipsters and even when we get exCITED@!!! like this it's intentionally bungled so it's less of you being genuinely enthusiastic and more of you putting on a voice so that you can have the copout of being satirical about being enthusiastic. and this is due to the post-2015 mass surgence of dave strider influenced transmascs being released to mingle with the rest of society coinciding with the great cringe culture epidemic of the mid-2010s. in this essay i will

#homestuck #bottlehawk text #seriously the mid early 2000s was peak theater kid culture. nowadays a hated breed persecuted by many. but they were king back in the day. #people will still get excited “like this!!” but as you can see it is way more chill without caps lock and also pretty girly #or “LIKE FUCKING THIS!!! FUCK YEAHHHHHH” so that the colorful swearing makes you sound socially acceptable and like you're at a sports game #but just read a couple of 2013 posts talking about how X fandom is actually rlly cool despite what the bullies say FUK DEM I WILL HUG U >_<! #and you will see the difference

My part of an art trade with @tauriborns. I had a ton of fun, thank you for the art trade brother.

#homestuck #homestuck fanart #gamzee makara #hs fanart #I know I said it in image but I think that Gamzee would just be the cutest little kid ever. #He’s the kind of kid that you meet at the neighborhood party #and he’s sitting in the corner just staring at the toy trucks. He’s not even playing with them #and you go up to him to see if he wants to play a game… but he doesn’t. Hes just having so much fun staring at his toy trucks #(not playing). #So you join him in staring. #At one point he drops some unknown and wise knowledge on you. That kind of kid #Hyper specific but whatever #Thank you for the art trade. #Your part was absolutely great #Please go check them out if you’re reading this far #It’s worth your time.
