#I’m sorry if I disappointed you though :(

[bloobydabloob]

Holy shit I love your Dirk interpretations, it's so true and I could talk about this shit forever. I feel like another part of his character that people seem to forget (along with Roxy for some reason) is that he's from the future in solitude in an apocalyptic wasteland. I just see that part of his character always removed which is disappointing because I feel like that's a pretty big part, especially regarding his themes around technology, his brother's theme of Time, his own isolation, and how he plays in the vastness of the universe and spacetime.

Art I drew related to the subject because I like to respond to asks with art.

But absolutely. I certainly understand where the lack of discussion over his isolation + upbringing comes from, considering a majority of the fanbase that I have seen builds their ideas based on their own version of postcanon. I’m not entirely sure how that would be fixed, but certainly even in the somewhat recent past I would see a lot more content regarding his upbringing both literally and symbolically. I don’t have much to add regarding the things you’ve mentioned, because they just are what they are. Dirk being confined to a singular room left to him by a father figure he never met, in a future where the only other person left on the planet is someone he cannot pursue a relationship of because of himself, with purely 3 robots to keep him companion, one being an exact replica of his own brain who is *also* trapped inside a pair of glasses, is about as literal as it gets to me.

The contrast to me involving the flooded, organic world in comparison to the little speckle of Dirk’s apartment packed with the dude and his technics is not only a representation of his isolation and entrapment within himself, but also of his lack of control. I think his obsession with & themes of control are a direct product in the case of Dirk specifically *of* this kind of upbringing. His themes of technology are also related to his themes around control. So much of his character is actually revolved around this to me like so much. Dirk is so deeply disconnected from humanity in every way and so much of his character + symbolism is based around that.

It doesn’t even have to be about the symbolism or anything though. It’s just pretty *interesting* in the literal sense that he lives in the middle of the ocean in the future. There’s not only a lot to theorise on to do with his young life there, but on how it might affect him in the way he acts for the rest of his life. The latter part is probably what I see mentioned the most by people talking about Dirk regarding this, I’m surprised I don’t see more discussion on the former too though. I really ought to actually talk more about Homestuck stuff on here. I will do it myself.

Roxy & Dirk’s relationship is largely ignored though because there is a narrative a certain demographic spreads that Dirk resented and blamed Roxy for her interest in him, and thus too many people believe that their relationship was or would continue to be an abusive one. Realistically, I believe it’s important to acknowledge that the way Roxy treated Dirk regarding his homosexuality wasn’t right while still acknowledging the obvious amount of respect and admiration Dirk had for Roxy. I mean we have a huge piece of dialogue from their post trickster mode conversations on the quest beds from Dirk purely stating how he feels about Roxy that people completely ignore somehow. I think this usually happens to characters that are women though. I know everyone says it, but it is true. Jane gets the exact same treatment of boiling her down to solely her negative aspects. The things I see completely mischaracterising both of them are horrific.

I mean how much more explicit can it get that their relationship is obviously very important to Dirk? But I digress. I think the best or I should say “most interesting” interpretations of their relationship usually come from DirkRoxy shippers actually.

I would be interested to hear about Dirk’s relation to his brother’s theme of time though. I don’t have any thoughts on this and I don’t recall ever hearing anyone talk about it before. If you or anyone else would be willing to enlighten me I’d be thrilled.

[lilacmingi]

This is an ateez x reader scenario I wanted to share with you if that’s ok. The idea came from The Real MV, and a dream I had a few nights ago.

My mom is a teacher in real life, hence the idea to make the reader’s mom a teacher.

The whole class was talking about it. They were getting a new teacher from America to teach them the English language. But what they didn’t know was that their teacher would be bringing a guest with them. 

The class goes quiet when the sound of someone walking through the door reaches their ears. An American woman in her early 50’s walks into the classroom. She introduces herself as the new ESL teacher (ESL: English as Second Language).

Jackie: I’m looking forward to teaching you. Now, before we start, I have an announcement to make.

The students listen quietly, curious as to what their teacher has to say.

Jackie: We will have a guest joining us for this year’s class. She will not be taking the class, but she will be accompanying me and assisting me throughout the period.

A young girl walks into the classroom. She is dressed nicely, wearing jeans and a dress shirt. She had h/l hair that was done in (favorite hairstyle). 

On her face was a pair of wire frame eyeglasses that gave her a sophisticated look. She wore a white digital wrist watch for timekeeping.

She looked shy, maybe even nervous to be in the students’ presence, but she wore a friendly and polite smile to mask it. Whispers go around the room as the students wonder who the girl is.

Eight particular boys were stunned by the girl who walked through the door. She looked so pretty with her pristine outfit. Even the class president himself was amazed. He couldn’t help but internally gush at her cute round cheeks.

Hongjoong:(whispers) Who’s that?

Jongho: I don’t know. I think that’s the guest Ms. l/n was talking about just a few minutes ago.

Mingi: She’s pretty.

Yeosang: I wonder how old she is. She looks young.

The girl shyly introduces herself in fluent English.

Yunho: (smiles) Aw, she’s shy. How cute.

San: Her English is really good. She sounds so fluent.

In turn, the class introduces themselves to the girl, now known as y/n, in English, with effort. Seonghwa raises his hand.

Jackie: Yes, Seonghwa?

Seonghwa: I have a question for y/n. Is it ok if I ask her?

y/n: Yes. What would you like to ask me?

Seonghwa: When you said your name, I noticed you and Ms. l/n have the same last name. Are you related?

y/n: Yes. I am her daughter.

The boys had to do a double take. Did they hear that right? Her daughter?? They weren’t the only ones taken aback. The rest of the class shared shocked looks with each other.

Wooyoung: (whispers) She’s her daughter?! They look nothing alike!

Mingi: That’s crazy. I thought she was her niece or something.

Shortly after, class starts.

***

You wait outside as your Mom introduces herself to the class she will be teaching. Your Mom got a job as an ESL teacher at a Korean high school. You had to fly all the way out to Korea for her to take this job. It was a big change, but you know it’s for the best.

You hear your Mom make “the announcement”, which is also your cue to make yourself known. Despite your nerves, you work up the courage to walk into the classroom and introduce yourself to the students. You can feel everyone’s eyes on you as you walk to the front of the room. Whispers sound through the room.

You catch sight of some girls looking at you with what looked like disdain while whispering to each other. Of course. Every highschool has a bully. That one group of popular mean girls. Having been through highschool yourself, you should know that by now.

However, what caught your eye even more, was the group of boys at the side of the room. Unlike the girls, they were looking at you with some kind of starstruck look. you don’t think much of it.

You: (shyly; in fluent English) Uh, hello everyone. My name is y/n l/n. It is a pleasure to meet you all.

Aw, she’s shy. How cute.

The class gives individual introductions in return. During the introductions you learned the name of the class president. Kim Hongjoong. It was a shocker to learn that he was one of the handsome boys. One of the students raises their hand.

Mom: Yes Seonghwa?

Seonghwa: I have a question for y/n. Is it ok if I ask her?

You: Yes. What would you like to ask me?

The boy, Seonghwa, looks at you.

Seonghwa: When you said your name, I noticed you and Ms. l/n have the same last name. Are you related?

You inwardly laugh at the fact that no one knows their teacher is actually your Mom. Your bet is that some of the students were guessing you are her niece. Well they are in for a shock.

You: Yes. I am her daughter.

You swear you could see Seonghwa do a double take. The rest of the class exchanged shocked looks with each other upon learning your relation with the teacher. Shortly after, class starts.

Lunch time

Excuse me, is it ok if we sit with you?

You look from up from your laptop to see the same eight boys from ESL standing around you.

You: Oh, of course. Please. Have a seat.

The boys sit down around you, a few of them sit next to you on both sides. You close your laptop so you can talk.

Hongjoong: So, you’re our teacher’s daughter?

You: Yes.

Hongjoong: I’m Hongjoong. The class president.

You: So I heard. Must be a big job.

Hongjoong: (chuckles with a smile) You don’t know the half of it.

The other seven guys smile as they watch you interact with their friend.

Mingi: Hi y/n. I’m Mingi. Nice to meet you.

Mingi sticks out his hand for a handshake. You take his hand and gently shake it.

You: (smiles warmly) Nice to meet you too, Mingi.

You exchange greetings and introductions and spend the lunch period talking and getting to know each other. You learned a few things about these guys along the way. 

You already know Hongjoong is the class president, but you also learned that he likes to reform clothes. Interesting. Seonghwa is the oldest of the group and likes legos and Star Wars, he’s also a bit of a clean freak. You find that rather funny.

Yeosang is the shy guy of the group, with a hidden savage side. San is cute and sweet, but holds a 3rd degree black belt in taekwondo. Yikes. You remind yourself not to mess with him. Mingi is the new transfer student. 

He looks mean and scary, but is actually a big soft sweetheart. His friends even call him Princess Mingi, something you find adorable. Wooyoung is the resident flirt, but is also dependable when he needs to be. 

Yunho is the captain of his school basketball team. His height may be intimidating, but his smile and sweet personality make up for it. Jongho is the youngest, but he is the most mature out of the whole group.

Jongho is also the strongest. He is so strong, he can break apples with his bare hands. Something you have yet to see. In turn, you teach the boys everything they need to know about you. 

Before you know it, lunch is over and it is time for everyone to get to their next class. Hongjoong offered to walk you to the homeroom where your Mom is waiting for you.

You gladly accepted his offer since you didn’t know your way around the school yet. You say your goodbyes and go your separate ways for now.

I’m flattered that you thought to share this idea with me 🥺 It’s cute! But this isn’t something I’d personally be interested in writing. I also don’t take requests as mentioned in this ask

[un-pearable]

sorry i’ve turned into a miserly old early-canon-loyal jerk over ninjago. it’s really fun though

[sailforvalinor]

Even more respect to Luan for when he found out that Helena is Bia’s sister and has been keeping it a secret that she’s alive for ten years, his response is “GIRL WHY? THIS IS RIDICULOUS??” and he sticks to his guns on that point

[theshippirate22]

every now and then i get hit with the idea of what might happen if Joyce found out about the sins of s1&2 jonathan

[animationismycomfort]

was I the only one that thought season 2 of green eggs and ham was a total let down oooorrrr

[reformedmercymain]

Should I give Overwatch another chance?

Honestly as much as I love the game I’d hold off on playing it until PvE comes out unless you have friends who are playing it with you. Ow2 reignited my actual love for the game (outside of how it scratched my competitive itch) so it *might* be worth a try even without friends if you loved “old overwatch” (like the “classic days” of 2016-2018?) and maybe lost interest around 2019 onwards. But for 99% of the players who left I’d advise you wait for what will hopefully be decent PvE

[poebrey]

to post something positive I am really happy about what snw is doing with T’Pring and it makes so much sense and just in general I love the material they gave her in this episode

mm. i probably SHOULDN’T be thinking about stuff at night when we should be asleep to be well rested for school in the morning but uhh. the brain
