Homesquared Chapter 1

Alright so, Im back on the homesquared, whoo

also I got the patreon, but am only now realizing that since buying it literally on the last day of the month im getting charged 25 dollars now and another 25 in a couple hours at midnight when it becomes Jan 1 for the month of January. Never had Patreon before so whoops

Probably should have waited a bit on that? But on the other hand I did intend/budgeted to have gotten patreon sooner so same difference really. 

Anyone just gonna focus on Non Patreon Content in this post for obvious reason, so away we go!

Gotta love the immediate comparison to Dirk’s “Plants are a man’s best friend” speech from Jake lol

“Plants, Jake has decided, are really the best sort of chums. They are quiet, friendly, and easy to please. All they need is a little water and fresh earth, and they are perfectly happy to lie there all day in the sun. And they don’t make increasingly inhumane arms deals and appear on talk shows expounding on the dangers of interspecies marriage. They have never, as far as Jake knows, fucked a clown.”

Not as bad as Dirk’s “I like it when people are helpess against me” but still not really a good view either with Jake’s “I like it when people are low maintenance and don’t expect much effort from me”

 I like the brackets being fully established as (Not Important) with the (==>)’s when really when you use them in text to me it always felt more like sidenote: (The Stuff in the brackets isn’t the main focus but still good to know before you continue on)

Theres a lot of Focus on Plants in general and therefore space in all of this speech and text as well, maybe a subtle nod to Calliope being in the text

“ JAKE: It appears that no matter what timeline were inhabiting i can count on you to be absolutely impenetrable! “

Dirk is a top and Jake is a bottom in their relationship, not surprising

Brain Ghost Dirk is hella mean, no idea if that’s more leaning towards that Jake hates himself or Dirk is generally an asshole but considering how BGD said he is both and the alcoholism im gonna go with both

But, the core of it is that BGD is how Jake is manifesting his Hope of something better in a hopeless situation, Hope generally meaning good times and happiness, but also delusions, so is this spy thing a good idea for Jake to do? Jake and (Dirk) certainly think so, but whats the real value in that?

also

Dirk: Your emotions don’t matter

Jake: Alright

nvm this is definitely a splinter of Dirk desperately crawling his way back to relevance through the only means available to him, so starved for attention of any kind at all that he dedicates two panels of himself sparkling and laying over a desk while pouring on about how distracting he is

“DIRK: It’s not because you’re a man. You’re a god.

JAKE: Oh right. That.

DIRK: The world comes first, even at the expense of all your relationships and personal happiness. That’s what being a hero means.

JAKE: I guess...i never really thought about it like that.“

Yeah, Dirk definitely manipulating Jake for his own ends, which is a shame, because I’d always imagined BGD to be that one sliver of Dirk representing the good in him since he was specifically a splinter created from NOT Dirk but Jake’s flattering impression of him, but a dirk is a dirk is a dirk I guess

“DIRK: Think what you want about Jane, but at least she realizes that none of you can ever be normal, and she never bothered to try. Can it really be a god-complex if you’re actually a god?

DIRK: People like us don’t get happy endings.“

So Dirk thinks because they are all actually Gods, that they would all inevitably fall into God Complexes because why wouldn’t they? And in doing so all becomes Villains because having a God Complex is the same thing as saying “My needs and wants matter and other people’s dont because I’m better than the lesser folks” Superiority train of thought, which is inherently evil way of thinking, and so naturally any act against that person to kill them would be just

But the problem is that’s how Dirk sees it, not how Jake sees it or anyone else, Jake had completely forgotten about his so called god powers and was content to drink and garden and dream for the rest of his life. 

Dirk is incorrect in that having god powers turns a Human into a God, it simply turns a Human into a Human who also has God Powers. Everything inherent to Humans but not to the ideal perfectional state of being that is “Godhood”, every human emotional imperfection and bias and state of being isn’t getting wiped away upon achieving God Hood like I suppose Dirk is believing about himself and the others.

Dirk is just so gosh damned narcissistic, that he believes that because his biases and way of thinking didn’t change when he achieved actual God powers and God Hood means that he was already correct about everything he wanted to believe and the way he is was already his ideal perfection, instead of the truth of the matter which is that nothing about his personality changed upon achieving godhood because it had nothing to do with that

Dirk just already had a God Complex from the beginning so he just didn’t notice any difference.

He thinking God in terms of Gnostic Monad god all knowing perfect personality and bias-less when really god hood in Homestuck is just like, Greek God hood, youre just a human being with fancy powers and abilities and the same ability to be kind or ruthless as it pleases you
