this all makes it even better :))) also knowing charles anger issues, him being ready to insult even his own family, slamming desks, physically blocking his escape, and yelling at al (he was ready to do so at a ball full of people he mustve been even worse in private) if charles didnt like a concept of something alastair wouldnt have dared to do it or talk about it in anything but negative light
which makes you wonder if alastair hasnt learnt about the 'charlotte cheated with gideon' from him, or at least if hes heard him repeat it
especially since as far as i remember, alastair doesnt bully people for their families but strictly for their own vulnerabilities (james' eyes, thomas' height, mathew being mathew)
which if he did learn from charles, it would not only make very unfortunate sense, it would also close everything in a horrific circle
hi btw at the latest (1900 i.e. before 1901) alastair and charles met when al was 16 and charles was 21. as in al would be a high school junior/ in year 10/11 writing gces and charles would be in fucking college. and theres a very high chance they met even earlier. *points at alastair and shakes the entire fucking cast of tlh* that is not a bad person that is a grooming victim who was still in relationship with his abuser at the start of the series!! not even mentioning his fucking father!!! what the actual fuck!!! at the start of the series that is a 19 year old That Is Still A Child. what the actual fuck

Title: The Calm Is Terrifying When The Storm Is All You Know [Homestuck]
Prologue 2: Regarding Dave Strider
Summary: There were two kinds of trolls who went to Earth: rich shitheads with too much money and free time, and desperate assholes who couldn’t survive on Alternia, even with the best efforts of the young Condesce. Karkat hated the planet almost immediately, but with his home planet too dangerous for mutants, he really didn’t have any choice but to hide out on this weird little diurnal planet. At least he’d be safe. Or so he thought, right before blundering his way into an accidental friendship with the son of an anti-troll terrorist.

ALTERNIAN EMBASSY UNDER ATTACK
The Alternian embassy in Austin, Texas suffered a bomb strike yesterday. Several casualties have been recorded. […] Several suspects were seen on video, but as of yet none have been arrested. The primary suspect is a man named Derek Strider. Strider was honored as a hero for his actions during the wars between Alternia and Earth. Strider is currently 33 years old, 6’5”, blonde, pale-skinned, frequently seen wearing an orange baseball cap and triangular sunglasses. Police ask anyone with any information on his whereabouts to please call…

The Big Bi-Annual Serious Post(tm).  
Alright, guys. Sorry to be doing this again, but it’s the anniversary, and I’m fucking desperate. To everyone who’s new enough to this blog to have never witnessed my twice-yearly floundering tribute to futility, buckle the fuck up because we’re in for a wild ride.
Tumblr media
Yeah, I know, “you were so cute as a child,” et cetera et cetera. Do me a favor and save the patronizing comments on this particular baby photo and instead turn your attention to the little boy on the left. His name is Dave. When this photo was taken, he was six years old; he’s currently a few months shy of thirteen. Assuming he’s still alive, anyway.
I haven’t seen him in six years. Six years ago today, our father came in the dead of night and kidnapped him.
It’s pretty clear at this point that the police have given up on finding him. I haven’t. I’d have to be a pretty shitty older brother to do that, but unfortunately, there’s not much I can do on my own.
All I’m asking is that if you have any word on him, if you know him, if you’ve seen him, if you ran into him in a fucking supermarket, anything at all, please, please tell me. It’s a long shot, I know, but, shit, maybe this weird fucking blog I run can do some good, right?
Let’s skip the usual fucking around, though. Like I said, it’s been six years. I assure you, none of you are the first one to think of the hilarious joke of leading me on and relentlessly fucking with me. It’s not funny, and I’m not in the mood.
Thanks.

EB: hey, you’re the guy who runs that weird blog, right?
TT: I run a number of weird blogs. You’ll have to be more specific.
TT: I don’t post my handle on any of them anymore, though, so I’m a bit confused as to how you got it.
EB: got it from my sister! shes been following you for a little while and said you added her recently
EB: she’s gutsygumshoe!
EB: id message you through the actual blog but i mean i dont have a tumblr haha
TT: Ah, okay.
TT: GG’s pretty cool. Knowing she gave you my handle is at least reassuring in the sense that I don’t have to worry so much about who’s getting my contact info.
TT: Why so keen to talk to me, though? It doesn’t sound like you’ve much interest in the contents of the actual blog.
EB: nah its not a sense of humor i feel like i really get
EB: but thats not the point here its actually really important!
EB: see my sis was talking about that post you made today at dinner
EB: she felt really bad for you i guess but she showed it to me and i think i might know dave!
TT: Ah. We’re doing this, okay.
EB: ???
TT: I hope you’ll excuse me not leaping for joy.
TT: There’s been a lot of false alarms over the years. It’s hard to hope.
EB: i mean that might be for the best
EB: im really not sure myself but a lot of weird stuff matches up
EB: the kid in the picture does look a lot like the dave i know and the number of siblings matches up!
TT: Never said that the little girl was my sister.
EB: oh, isn’t she?
EB: that puts a bit of a damper on things if not, because the sister was something he was a lot more sure of.
TT: Um. What?
EB: i should start from the beginning here shouldnt i haha
EB: sorry im a little nervous! and dave isnt online right now because of course he isnt so i cant double check this stuff with him yet ugh
EB: hes like one of my best friends even though weve only met online
EB: the age matches up too! hes twelve right now and turns 13 in a few months
TT: Hm. A bit coincidental, sure, but Dave isn’t exactly a rare name.
EB: he looks a lot like your dave too though!
EB: here look at this

TT: That is the shittiest photo I’ve ever seen.
EB: ugh yeah sorry
EB: he takes them bad on purpose, hes got a really weird sense of humor
EB: thats honestly the best one i have of him right now :(
TT: I can sort of see what you mean by there being a bit of a resemblance, though.
TT: If I squint and tilt my head really hard, I mean.
EB: yeah ok but i mean im still not at the really important part!
EB: see ive known for a while that he lives with his bro
EB: but like a couple weeks ago he told me something really weird!
TT: We’re pretty sure Dave was kidnapped by our father.
TT: I think I’d know if I was living with him.
EB: thats the thing though! his bro isnt actually his brother
EB: hes daves dad
EB: dave isnt sure why the guy makes him call him bro
EB: he told me though that he feels like he does actually have an older brother
EB: cant remember the older brothers name very well, he thinks it starts with a d?
EB: and he remembers having a sister too, and he was like.
EB: absolutely positive her name was rose
EB: wasn’t sure on her age though, he thought she must’ve been pretty close to his age
EB: but i mean if that girl in that photo isn’t your sister then that kinda throws all this right down the drain
TT: She is.
EB: what?
TT: She is my sister. I was…sorry, it was a reflex. I’m so used to people fucking with me over this, I said that to try and throw you off, but
TT: Fuck, my hands are shaking. I hope you’re serious here.
EB: is all that stuff right then??
TT: Her name’s Rose, and she is our sister, and my name does start with a D.
TT: Is there anything else about him that you can tell me that might help identify him?
EB: um
EB: oh! his birthday’s december 3rd!
TT: I
TT: Jesus Christ
EB: :D
EB: ah fuck there he is hold on
EB: asshole finally got online
EB: im gonna show him that post
TT: I
TT: Yeah, you should
TT: Do that.
TT: I’m
TT: Fuck.
EB: oh my god he is rambling up a storm
EB: ive never seen him this excited gosh
EB: do you wanna talk to him? i can give you his handle
TT: Jesus fucking Christ of course I want to talk to him.
TT: Please.
TT: Fuck.
EB: turntechgodhead!
EB: i gave him yours too
EB: you still there dude?
EB: oh i guess you’re probably talking to him now huh haha

TG: yyyyyeah

TG: i dunno why he hates them so much

TT: Thank you, Pesterchum, for confirming the obvious.
TT: I just wanted to make sure you had my contact information as well.
TT: Dirk said he spoke to you yesterday, and I will confess that I am almost afraid to believe him.
TT: It almost hurts to hope, as cliche as that is to say.
TT: But if it’s true, and this really is you, I look forward to at least being able to talk to you again.

TG: rose holy shit
TG: ok first off lets talk about that fucking username
TG: what the fuck rose
TG: what the actual fuck
TT: Well, there goes any doubt as to your identity I might have had.
TG: the fucks that supposed to mean
TT: I suppose it means that I’ve missed you.
TT: This feels so surreal. Six years with you gone, and here we are, talking.
TT: And you’re the same as ever, somehow.
TG: excuse me im not the one going on the internet as some octopus in a shrink suit
TG: tentacletherapist what the actual fuck
TT: What kind of name is turntechGodhead, then?
TG: a fuckin awesome one is what
TT: Truly, it demonstrates both your nobility and your humility.
TG: you bet your ass it does
TG: the humblest fuckin guy to ever shock the fuckin world with his sick beats
TG: ill rap you under the table and be super not braggy about it
TG: sounds like a fuckin paradox but im just fuckin cool enough to pull it off
TG: be makin people drop like flies with my dope rhymes
TG: everyone be trippin over this sick beat
TG: some guy at the clubs monocle just popped out and socked him in the face
TG: like hey loser why arent you that fuckin awesome and modest
TT: I’m sorry, there’s a man in a suit and a monocle at this hypothetical club?
TG: well it wasnt a club to start with
TG: just some fancy dudes all bein posh and shit
TG: but i walked in and its a fuckin party now
TG: i didnt even have to start rappin i just set foot in the place and it all lights the fuck up
TG: glowsticks are popping into existence to get the rave going and half the posh dudes immediately start fuckin grinding
TG: and im like yo i only wanted to grab one of your weird sandwiches and leave but yall gotta be like this
TG: cant a guy just go somewhere without the party starting on me
TT: How dreadful it must be, to be such a majestic being!
TG: its a curse i must bear
TG: heavy is the crown
TT: I’m sorry to change the subject to something very strange, but I have an odd favor to ask.
TG: yeah shoot
TT: Your friend, John, provided one of your “ironic selfies” to Dirk to try and confirm your identity to him.
TT: Would it be possible to get one with the irony turned down a few notches?
TT: And possibly minus the shades?
TG: woah what why
TT: It’s…
TT: Our mother misses you too, Dave. She’s been devastated ever since we lost you.
TG: oh
TT: I think it would do her some good to at least know what you look like, now.
TT: The only existing pictures of you we have are so old.
TG: yeah
TG: yeah i can do that hold up

TT: I’m still here, Dave. What is it?
TG: rose were twins
TT: We are, yes.
TG: im still fucking losing it over that okay
TG: bro never fuckin talks about you guys and he got mad at me for asking too much years back so i stopped
TG: but i swear ive always had this feeling like i definitely wasnt an only child and i remembered you strongest
TG: dont tell dirk that but i did
TG: its like
TG: i was so sure i musta dreamed you guys up but youre real and i have a twin im a fuckin twin rose
TT: While I can’t completely relate, as our mother never made any secret of your existence and Dirk remembered you quite clearly, I can at least connect to the surrealism of this experience.
TT: I’m almost afraid I’m going to wake up and be left bereft.
TG: fuck i wanna keep talking but bros gonna be home any minute
TT: Do you need to sign off for the night?
TG: yeah
TG: dont wanna get in trouble
TG: i am pretty much directly disobeying him right now

TT: Dave, he kidnapped you. You realize that, right?
TG: what
TT: He has no legal custody over you.
TG: hes my dad though

TG: im fine i just needed to talk to someone and rose is offline
