#BUT THE ASK WAS SUPER APPRECIATED THANK U

[saeriji]

hello, can i get a promo?

HELLO rijians i am ALIVE AND WELL!!!!

i would like to apologize for disappearing for months and not posting anything and leaving a few asks to specific creators and dipping. my academic career was dropping so i had to throw this account to the side.

BUT i am on break now for this week and next week! so i want to make this account alive again.

i actually havent checked this blogs followers in forever

but we’ve reached over 300 followers! so i want to thank all of you for supporting me despite me disappearing from the face of the earth. no events, sorry, im too lazy for that, but i’ll likely make a template or two as a gift of appreciation.

i’m sorry for not keeping my promises in the past, i didn’t keep them because i forgot about them.

a few things i want to change about this blog:

i’m likely going to be posting more of rentry inspo and rentry resources compared to graphics and stuff. why? i don’t want to make much stuff for people now sorry im not super interested in that stuff. unless i start commissions which i need to make example rentries of.

i’m not going to be very request oriented anymore! i’ve found that my will to do anything diminishes when someone asks me to do something. so instead, i’ll likely be opening suggestions for inspo and resources. crediting to lavender/lavendergalactic for the idea of suggestions ^_^

lastly, i kindly ask that you don’t ping me for palestine posts because often not there are images that are very graphic and i’m not comfortable with them. however, i still will keep up other ways to support the crisis in gaza, notably by the daily clicks site.

i will likely revamp most of my things here.

OK @ THE ANON AGAIN:

I found the post youre talking about, and after a quick Pinterest search, it looks like they just used the same reference! I could send it to you privately if you’d like to see, but I Don’t think any theft was happening , just the same ref!!

hi, saw that ask about proshipping, could you explain what you mean by "tag inappropriately"?

yeah sure! using trigun as example, there's just one ship (k/v) that makes me uncomfortable for a lot of general + personal reasons and as far as i'm aware, pro/shippers tend to engage with that pairing the most. since i tend to look at the tags on my art, if i happen to post knives and vash in just exploring their strictly familial / platonic bond and see in the tags it's tagged inappropriately as a ship, it'd make me upset and uncomfortable.

bc ppl can see charas interact and sometimes assume its romantic even if that's not the artist's intent; that's just a natural thing that happens and it's understandable, hence my answer to that ask being to just lessen the chance of it being tagged inappropriately.

generally, i dont really care who follows me, i'm just more concerned about the tagging/replies part bc that's what i can actually see. if my wish for some chara interactions (and i tend to explicitly state in the artwork caption if it's the case) to not be tagged/interpreted as romantic can be respected, then it's fine for anyone to interact with it. hope that makes sense!

ahhhh nods nods i see !

[stuck-in-the-ghost-zone]

walks into ur inbox and sets up a big conspiracy board. hi mac :3 do u wanna hear about the hs epilogues and hs2??? well i'm gonna learn u a thing about homed stuck post canon!!!! here we fucking go

ok so idk how much of the epilogues u have read, but basically to sum it up: it was made as a way to make the fans of canon hs angry. like that's kinda the whole point. and it worked because honestly!! they are quite terrible!!! and i do like them a lot but there are a lot of things that were done in bad faith with very little care to original canon, such as: raging misogyny in the form of making jane a hashtag girlboss who sexually abused jake, jade who has no concept of sexual boundaries and was literally framed to be the girl who got in between the gay couple, and like. a lot more. so it's. very far from perfect. honestly a lot of the character writing isn't even that good

but something to keep in mind is that while yes, part of the reason a lot of it is written that way is because hussie just wanted to piss people off, there is kind of a canon reason for it??? dirk went kind of off the rails and absorbed the knowledge of all of his splinters and alternate timeline selves (which for a person who hates himself that much!!! not great!!! would drive a guy a little nuts!!!) and he got a little. bro strider-ish. very manipulative and Not Nice. and he also grabbed control over the entire narrative in the meat timeline so!!! he was just messing with people and trying to convince himself he didn't feel bad about it. sad!

and the candy timeline is controlled by alt!calliope who wanted to make the entire timeline nice and perfect and domestic, a war broke out between trolls and humans, shit hit the fan pretty bad, but the narrative only focuses on the romantic and family drama which says sooooooo much about how alt!callie views the world and these characters. she grew up obsessing over them and now can't process that these are real people who are friends with the alpha timeline version of herself and it drives me bonkers and fucking yonkers GIRL YOU ARE MESSING WITH PEOPLE YOU ARE NO DIFFERENT THAN YOUR BROTHER!!!! since ultimate!dirk absorbed the knowledge and memories of lord english through his absorption of arquiussprite he is basically lord fucking english so him and alt!calliope arguing over the timelines is literally just. two siblings who never grew up pulling their toys/friends back and forth and being upset because they can't get their own way IT'S INSANE

also the prose slaps sometimes. meat page 39 is an especially good example, like the way it capture's ult!dirk's character voice is. AAAAAAUGHJGHGH. god. the feelings of that part. the way he's clearly trying so hard not to care..... but he DOES. and you can TELL. honestly it really captures the tragedy of dirkjake so well. also candy page 14 is just. woagh. idk if you read that part but dirk dies in candy and it's just.... holyyyyy shit dude. it's a bit gorey and it is a suicide so maybe not the best part to read if you're in a bad state of mind but GOD. it just. there's something about it that somehow manages to capture dirk so well in a way. like of course his death would be self inflicted while feeling like he's doing something "right." jesus christ. i can give u links to my favourite pages if u wanna read any of em

ummm ANYWAY. hs2 is a continuation of BOTH timelines. john died in the meat timeline (sad) and got incredibly depressed in the candy timeline (also sad) but also he had a son with roxy in candy!!! his name is harry anderson and lemme tell u i love all of the kids in candy. there's harry, there's vrissy (an ecto clone of vriska adopted by rose and kanaya), tavros crocker-english (jane and jake's kid, the most tragic little guy ever tbh) and um. yiffy. yiffany longstocking lalonde-harley who was born when jade wanted a kid. i'm not gonna get into the whole ordeal of yiffy rn it was so balls to the wall insane if i explained everything i would be here all day. but also VRISKA IS THERE 🎉🎉🎉 and she is the highlight of the candy timeline lemme tell u. she's gonna end the troll/human war maybe. or maybe she'll just fuck around. who knows!!! it's vriska!!! i love her silly unpredictable swag :3

the meat timeline is where i go especially crazy because there is soooo much to analyze here in terms of prose and imagery and just. stuff in general. basically dirk and rose blasted off into space to go create a new intelligent species and introduce them to sburb and make their universe "relevant" again because something just feels Off about their current story, and they can't quite tell what it is so they're fixing it any way they can think of. also terezi tagged along because she was there when john died and she still hasn't found vriska and so she is also depressed so hey why not tag along on this death trip to the stars!!! also a bunch of others are trying to chase them down in their own spaceship, including: dave and karkat, jade, callie, and roxy (who is transmasc in the meat timeline!!!) also davekat is canon in the meat timeline and they have some lovely existential discussions about dave's immortality and karkat's mortality

anyway thats all i got for now. i feel insane about these guys and i'm hoping the new writers for hs2 can maybe improve the story a bit AND THEY ALREADY KIND OF HAVE!!! they brought sollux back, they made jake less of a punching bag and more of a character, they have vriska shenanigans, and jane is less of an Evil Girlboss and actually more of a homestuck villain if that makes sense!! AND THE ART STYLE IS BETTER TOO the hs2 style kind of devolved a bit and looked a bit terrible after a while (they might have just had new artists on at the time) but now they've got different artists!! and the guy heading it now worked on some of the original homestuck stuff!! so they're trying to slowly fix some of hussie's bad writing choices and expanding on the cool stuff that was already there!! i love hs2 it is my deeply flawed very fucked up baby :3 sorry this was so long. the demons got me u understand <3

I UNDERSTAND I UNDERSTAND. OMG THANK YOU. i actually did start reading candy/meat when they first came out (<< 17 yr old who was so so so excited for new homestuck content) and ended up. giving up on them REALLY quick. i actually got to the part where dirk died in candy and that was what made me put them down entirely bc i was SO upset . also like u said yes the way jade was characterized was so so so uncomfy for me. so those r like the two main factors that made me totally give up on meat and candy. and i kind of openly was super super mad about the epilogues for a while after that and then i realized. oh no. im a fool. im exactly the kind of person they were written to make angry HHFDBSJS. so i backed down and learned to appreciate them for what they were from a distance <3

i appreciate u SO MUCH for the deep dive bc holy shit. every once in a while i have the internal struggle of "god i miss homestuck. maybe i should go back and read the epilogues" and then i Dont hFBFSJDK . i actually do not know SHIT about hs2 in general !! i know there is. ult dirk who looks like an anime villain and i think thats great for him. aaaaand. the davekat laundry room scene which i have only seen panels for and not dialogue and i love them so much forever. and thats about the extent of my knowledge.

HI JUST wanna say that Mattie fuckin ROCKS hes so cool me and my friend love him to bits ty for submitting him to the oc polls

ASJKDJSLK omg no thank you sm i'm SO glad y'all love him!!! <3 it means a lot to me :,^D

[coffinsister]

Is your OC into the Graves, or is she into her own sibling?

She's into the Graves !!! She gets bullied and abused by them but it's all done with love <3

I had actually never thought about giving her her own sibling to be into, that would be super fun too though, she would have a sister to have strange Yuri with, but mostly, I always seen her as an only child who gets wrapped up with them by accident and ends up as a third on their weird toxic dynamic

[sourearth]
