#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.

After their fight against the gods is done, after the Veil is once again secured, I imagine Rook wanting to do something for Lucanis - something special. Especially since they finally can. After much deliberation (approximately 15 seconds and a side glance at the wyvern-tooth dagger sitting carefully on Lucanis' night stand), Rook has a wyvern-spotting adventure planned. A bag sits ready with camping gear, food rations, a wyvern species encyclopedia, a journal and all the art supplies they could find within a few hours.

Convincing Lucanis takes less than a minute, and the next thing they know, they’re hiking across the Orlesian wilderness.

The first wyvern they spot will be permanently engraved into Rook’s memory – whether that’s from the beast’s presence or from Lucanis’ reaction is up for debate (is it really, though?). Regardless, Rook will inevitably become an expert on that particular species of wyvern.

“Rook!” “Rook.” RookRookRook, look!” “ROOK.” They swear that last one was Spite, but Lucanis calls out them every few minutes during their adventure, each time a wyvern so much as blinks funny. There, Rook is witness to one of the biggest (and longest-lasting) grins Lucanis has ever displayed. Eyes bright, body practically buzzing with excitement as they crouch behind cover. Rook doesn’t know if anything can beat the feeling pounding at their chest.

Rook reaches an important conclusion, they fucking love wyverns.

“jason is so cold and inconsiderate” his natural instinct when he found out nico was staying at camp was to hug him tightly but he restrained himself because nico mentioned to jason ONCE that he doesn't like being touched. consent KING

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

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.
