It's fun watching sociologists try to refute the Fermi paradox because 90% of the time it's like "the idea of Fermi paradox says more about the institutional psychology of the STEM community than it does about the nature of universe because it reveals their unexamined assumptions about the nature of extraterrestrial life, and here's why", then proceeds to unwittingly put the commentor's own unexamined assumptions about the nature of extraterrestrial life on full blast.

I don't know are you sure there's just always going to be another Dave? Really? REALLY?
there will always be another dave strider but there will never be another terezi, there will never be another kanaya, there will never be another aradia, there will never be another jade harley. so many of the women in homestuck blatantly go against expectation and are so wonderfully unique for it
#dave strider#homestuck#think you're doing my boy dirty#like I understand the point you are making by when it comes to sticking close to gender expectation#but I'm not sure Dave is the paragon of rigidity#DIRK?#There's always another tiresome Dirk#and strip away the specific theatricality there's a lot of shitty Jakes too#(I've somewhat soured on the epilogues in the intervening years but Jake English consistently sucking shit still makes me very happy)#but Dave?#Dave a really distinctive guy whose struggles with masculine expectation over the course of the comic are complex and rare in stories#hells since I'm here one of the reasons June Egbert never worked for me#(besides its innate problem of coming from the Best Not Acknowledged Homestuck_2 era of Homestuck's nadir)#Is that Dave Strider is RIGHT THERE#John is one of the only character in homestuck who ever feels completely comfortable in his own skin and self as a person#He never has the doubts and questions and anxieties others have about his sense of personhood and self-worth and value etc etc#and while none of that is NECESSARY for trasitioning or anything#my boy Dave is right there the goddamn poster boy for the same gender-questioning pipeline that andrew hussie themself went through#Dave always being Andrew's blatant self-insert#And Dave going through the same journey of mid-00s homophobic-jokes edgelord to openly queer person#HE"S RIGHT THERE FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE HOMESTUCK COME THE HELL ON#but then a committee of straight white old cis men from poughkeepsie could have written a better Homestuck 2 than we got#that's how full-body-cringe the whole experience was#remember the hatsune miku binder thomas jefferson hamilton oc?#that's what Homestuck 2 felt like as a work of media#they tried so hard to shoot for the moon they landed among the stars#by which I mean they missed the target so completely they ended in a firey death inside a crushing fusion furnace and everyone went#'hitting the moon isn't all that difficult how can you fuck up that badly?'#while I am thinking aloud we all need more Pesterquest#And Paradox Space

i think dirk would give up on his evil masterplan like one week into the journey if those three ganged up on him. hed turn the ship back in tears and, once returned, begged dave on his knees to never make him sit in a room alone with those fuckers. thats the seer power for you

I’ve been sketching Sburb people a lot lately (midnight crew, the felt, the exiles) i find them really facinating and i felt like finishing this one
I feel like since the game folks never speak directly with anyone (as in, speaking in textbox with any player instead of the “you do this, you go there” dinamic) we kinda forget they’re normal people.  I love the lore around the carapace and i really want to explore more about them in the csau epiloge

something about people calling vrisrezi "toxic yuri" always puts me off. i understand the lack of words to really put their dynamic but like you know theyre in a relationship thats largely good for them right. they arent dating because "it sucks but it would be worse without each other" they genuinely really love each other a lot

Since we’re likely not getting an official answer on this, might as well have fun making up our own! 😄

Every video about alien civilizations and the Fermi Paradox sooner or later always mention that same stupid "prisoner dilemma" "logical" theory, basically "what if aliens kill other civilizations before becoming a threat!!!1!!1" which, as far as I know, came from a science fiction book (The Killing Star) which got really popular and people started treating as some real thing that makes sense when it falls apart once you think more than five minutes about it. Because civilizations, as we know, are very simple, logical things that operate in binary switches of "kill/don't kill". It's a logical thing, you know? don't you know the Prisoner's Dilemma, it's a logical game, it's just logical to kill your enemies, it's logic, and aliens should be logically trying to exterminate us!
Interesting that this became so widespread, because it seems to reveal a fear on people that advanced civilizations will just strike us from the map. Which has some political subtext too. In Soviet science fiction, alien civilizations were thought to be communist and pacifist, because what other kind of civilization would explore the stars otherwise? Which gave us this awesome meme:
Tumblr media
(Usamerican Wojak: Noooo, why are you invading, colonizing and extermining us?
Evil Aliens: Haha, we are created in your image and likeness, we are a reflection of your system, we are your fears of yourself.
Soviet Chad: Wait, so you explore space, build communism and you don't colonize or exterminate anything?
Communist Aliens: Naturally.)
It's just kinda funny that in Soviet science fiction, a major theme was that advanced civilizations will just abandon war and explore things and such, while in Usamerican science fiction it's sometimes even given as a logical development that aliens would just want to exterminate everyone, so much that you find it in otherwise coherent discussions of possible alien civilizations.
