#ALL THE YAPPINGS

Said it on twitter but ill say it here too Homestuck instantly becomes 1 million times more engaging to talk about when you speak about it with feminists 😭

Homestuck features commentary on just about everything you could think of (again, hussie dumping her brain out into a piece of media so youre basically getting a capture of somebodys worldview, what they like, dislike, their media palette, cultural awareness, misunderstandings of the world etc)

specifically Misogyny is the biggest one in the whole comic and homestuck dives into how its shaped our storytelling conventions as a whole as long as stories have existed, with showcasing the tribulations the female characters go through and how hard it is trying to fit these roles that supposedly predestined for people like you, but really nobody can live up to that.

It points and laughs ofc but also shows how horrifying and dehumanising these narrative roles really are when applied to characters who feel and express like real people and not in a Corny Why cant the princess save herself #JustGirlbossItUp kind of way but in the “Oh these systems push people to try and conform to roles in attempt to fit in or be successful and that limits their personhood and expression of freedom and its been this way for hundreds and thousands of years and that fucking sucks” kind of way bc of homestucks on the ground level presentation style.

And it also displays how these things affect Everyone, but doesnt end up putting a special emphasis on or adding more depth to the men how so much other work does with multi gendered narratives when written with gender in mind.

Another video essay topic actually. Homestuck and misogyny perhaps.

i love how kevin day is like. a boujee bitch. like he wasn't impressed by the maserati. he isn't a morning person. he doesn't like running but knows he has to cos it's good for him. his favourite colour is red but he looks terrible in it. he drowns himself in vodka every now and again. "he should know how expensive i am by now" he says that out loud, in canon. kevin day my princess. my baby.

That can’t be all there is.

don't play around with feral dogboys. don't chain one up to the bedpost and tease it from afar, making it sit on a vibrator while you touch yourself. good lord do not make the most pretty little whimpers and noises as you do it. sooner or later that thing is going to burst out from its chains and tackle you to the ground as it sinks its teeth into your neck. snarling as it tears open your legs and rams its knot into your hole. and god forbid it's strap knot, because the only thing that's gonna stop it is exhaustion. that thing only sees you as a toy, and it's going to fuck you until you break

they should release the scene where wade undresses logan

please let’s have a full discussion on this…

where do you all think wade ripped off those clothes to get to logan’s jammies? where’d he get the gloves? does logan remember any of this? how many layers was logan wearing?

aaron saying "neil isn't family, not with the way you look at him" further cemented my STRONG belief that even tho andrew doesn't verbally express his feelings a lot and is described as being deadpan he has the BIGGEST heart eyes for neil "pretty boy pipe dream" josten.

literally cannot stop thinking about how intentional it is in pvp civilization that people refer to evbo as "kid" or tell him he is "just a kid". it isn't just a headcanon that he is probably a teenager he IS a teenager. he's impulsive like a teenager, he's naive like a teenager, he doesn't understand romance like a teenager, he's materialistic and looking for anything that will give him comfort or happiness like a teenager because he IS A TEENAGER. he's a kid. he's a kid cursed with immortality, and what do people do with that? abuse it. evbo is a kid in a horrible, violent society, and he knows nothing else, but he still believes, naively, like a kid, that there are people who are better than this society. he tells zam that he and the iron swords don't need to farm him, that it will do them no good. what about his life? what about tabi's? and he forgets where he is. what he is.

in this society, evbo is not a child. in this society, evbo is not the "chosen one". he is a tool. he is an object. what do you do with tools and objects? you use them.

and yet evbo still stands there, a kid. and the adults of this society exploit that. he is just a kid, he doesn't get it. he is just a kid, he doesn't realize how many lives he's saving. he is just a stupid, naive, vulnerable kid with too much love and too much hope in his heart. we can use that.

he is a calf standing on wobbly knees born knowing it is destined for the slaughterhouse.

I love how Twilight both severely underestimates and overestimates Bond's abilities and intelligence. Like one moment he's like

"this dog is so weird he's just a silly little dog guy he's not built for all this attacking stuff maybe it's too much for such a goofy little doggie. why is he grabbing people??? he must not understand me at all hoho. I guess he needs more training heehee"

and then he's like

"dog. I see you have come here to avenge your brothers and sisters. let us join forces and bring about peace by combining our efforts. I see you have used your acute sense of smell to detect dangers, you are truly a capable partner"
