Incorrect Moon Knight Quotes
Jake: I'd love to eat steak every night but most of the time I have frozen chicken rings.
Steven: What the fuck?!
Marc: That's not real!
Jake: A chicken ring?
Marc: Get right outta town.
Steven: Can you elaborate?
Jake: It's like a chicken tender that has been bent into a circle.
Steven: Just in case you wanna wear it like a bracelet for snacking on the go?
#incorrect quotes#incorrect moon knight quotes#Yes this is a mbmbam quote#Because I have been listening to some of the older episodes that I skipped when I started listening to the podcast#Also I imagine Jake just has the worst diet because he doesn't front much and just eats what is there#Which I'd imagine is usually some kind of junk food#Steven just desperately trying to understand and make him eat a vegetable#Marc just absolutely confused by all of it#Idk why but my brain is somehow trying to combine my fixation on Moon Knight with my favorite dingdong idiot podcast#And this is what came of it

I think there's a difference between a reblog with a snarky retort, and a reply with a rude message. A reply is made on the post itself, and the OP sees it, and it goes in without context of what came before it in the reblog chain. A reblog has the connotation of "I'm writing this for my blog, and for the people who follow me."
Yes, it's definitely shitty to just take someone's post and be shitty to them, especially when they've explicitly asked you not to be, and ESPECIALLY if it's in the replies. But a reblog has a different context. When I reblog something with a message attached, I'm almost never looking at the specific users who said the specific messages. Instead, I'm just sorta going "This message would make me laugh if I was reading it on my timeline, so I'm going to put it here, so others can laugh the way I would want to."
Sometimes it's a swing and a miss, and you wind up saying something dumb, which comes off as super rude. Sometimes though, you say something funny, and your reblog takes off and becomes the version that everyone sees. We wouldn't have the Children's Hospital post without several people being pretty darn rude in the reblogs. The first Prozd sound clip I ever heard was the Pregante video, which is essentially just making fun of a ton of random strangers on the internet. Mbmbam got popular due to their Yahoo answers segment, which often made fun of the ridiculous questions people ask on there.
Would the internet be a much nicer place, if everyone was less comfortable being rude to one another? Yes. I mean, the algorithms on so many platforms intentionally show us things that will make us upset, and a lot of the time, that leads to extremely rude interactions online. But on Tumblr, we curate our timeline to be just the people we want to see, and it makes it feel a lot more personal, and like the people we interact with are our friends, or people we can make those kinds of jokes with, and that's part of the appeal. It would be so much more boring if everyone was just nice to each other. Imagine if there were no straight man in a comedy routine. Imagine "Who's on First, except it's only Abbott." That would be boring. We need the jokester who plays on the straight man, and ribs them, and makes jokes at their expense, because that's how comedy works.
Maybe "fuck you :D (very comfy right now btw)" isn't a great joke, but maybe "Idk about OP, but I've never felt comfortable on the internet" is better. Maybe "OP is right, and I will personally fight anyone who is rude on the internet" is better. Or maybe "What's next? I should start feeling uncomfortable when I say rude things to my coworkers? Or I should feel uncomfortable when I beat people up? Now you're going to tell me there's a law against physical assault now too?"
Or maybe you don't find any of those funny. Maybe your style of humour just doesn't jive with that particular type of routine. I mean, it's your post, so you're absolutely allowed to tell people who can and can't reply, and police which kinds of replies are made. But I just think it's a bit strange to equate "thing that was said in jest," with "actual harmful speech, meant to upset or belittle another."
In that original reply, you are correct. You're not sharing a charming joke together as friends. That person made a joke, and you didn't like it. They had no intention of hurting you, and explicitly said it for the purposes of making other people laugh. They did hurt you though, and it's valid for you to address them, and let them know that you didn't want that to happen. You have a quote up there, "[...] coming into your house and swearing at you [...]" which I think is a pretty apt metaphor for parts of Tumblr.
You see your blog as a personal space akin to your house, which you want people to take off their shoes before entering, and to speak with kindness and respect to you. Most people see their blog instead as a stage, where the few or many people who follow them can see the things they like, and the funny things they say. Sometimes they'll bring on another person, and have a funny back-and-forth dialogue, where they're exaggerating things and being jokingly rude, for the sake of laughs. But I think it can be both. I think your blog itself is a stage, and every reblog is a new person putting your act on their stage, but the replies on any given post are OP's house, and you don't bring Stage Energy™ into someone's home.
People shouldn't be putting jokes or rudeness in the replies, ever. If you're mutuals with OP, then sure. But if you have something that is intended to make people laugh, say it in a reblog. That way people know you're saying it for the benefit of others, and not just as a response directly to OP. I don't know enough about the UI of Tumblr to know if that first one was a reply or a reblog, but if it was a reply... Yeah, that's fucking obnoxious, and that person shouldn't have said that there, I mean... There's a time and a place, and that ain't it.
I think OP has been EXTREMELY kind to others on this post, and I don't understand why people are being really mean to them, ala "for fuck's sake" or "fucking hilarious the irony at play here." Like this wasn't a personal attack at you. OP had a generally good point, which someone clearly misread the situation of, and opset them. Then when OP was like "hey, don't do that?" people started dogpiling them.
Rudeness as a performance piece, meant to make people laugh, and be reblogged and shared for a chuckle? That's Tumblr, baby. Rudeness in the replies or DMs or Ask Box? That's awful, and how you get blocked. There's a social etiquette at play here on Tumblr, and I think a lot of people want their reply to be the one to go viral and make others laugh so much and get so many notes and wind up on Reddit or whatever, that they forget how to be kind, and how to follow the rules of Tumblr.
A reblog is a stage. A reply is OP's house. The tags are your house/inner thoughts. Don't bring your jokes for an audience into OP's house.
We've all gotten just a bit too comfortable being jerks to strangers on the internet I think
#I started this post in pretty staunch disagreement with OP#At this point I mostly agree with them though#And I think you can see the evolution of that thought process through my reblog lol#I do stand by what I said though#And I think that when you make a post on the internet you do somewhat sign up for strangers to say things at your expense#It sucks but like...#I really like the children's hospital post#And we wouldn't have those iconic posts without that rudeness.#I just don't want to start policing humour#Or to become puritanical about stuff in general#But like come on guys#If OP explicitly asks you to stop being rude to them...#Maybe stop?#At that point you're not even being funny anymore#You're just coming off as an asshole#The only real irony here is OP making a reasonable request and then immediately having a ton of people spit in their face.

Hellsite Nostalgia Tour 2023 Day 25
"Everybody Loves a Clown"
Would I Survive the First Five Minutes??: So a ghost clown? Demonic clown? to quote Brian David Gilbert “Who has ever watched a clown and thought to themselves ‘boy, I wish that thing never got tired…and I’m not saying clowns are terrible. Clowns serve their purpose: they’re creepy a-and sometimes good and…You know what? I do take it back. Clowns don’t serve a purpose.” Little girl. Little girl!! Why are you letting that creepy clown into your house late at night? Or at all? No. (I would live. You couldn’t pay me to let that clown in)
Stop giving me so many recaps…like, there’s doing some small recap of things that are going to be important to this particular episode and then there’s doing a full recap of the last two to three episodes like I didn’t JUST watch them this week
This clown is also giving clown box from the MBMBAM tv show? You can’t just take clown box’s hand and not expect bad things to happen. Same with this clown. IT STALKED YOU HOME!!!
Dean, you’re not okay. Sam’s MORE THAN allowed to check in and want to process John’s death, especially this soon after it happened.
Dean hits way too close to home for me some days. The way he’s looking at practical things he can do to fill his time rather than process his emotions? Ooooo baby, been there
Oh, ELLENNNNNNNNNN. And Jo! (Look. It’s been a WHILE since I’ve watched.) Also forgot Ash existed.
I can’t tell if Dean is playing a longer game with Jo here or if he’s really backing off. I’m keeping an eye on that…
Though it might be moot because they’re goin to the carnival. “At least I’m not afraid of flying!” “Planes crash!” “And apparently clowns kill!” Ah, sibling fights
I mean, if you’ve got 51 hours to waste, might as well investigate killer clowns
Is this kid gonna save his whole family by not paying attention to the fun house shit? Ah man, you had every opportunity to just keep playing your video game, but now?? Good fucking lord no no no nononono!!!!!
Sam’s enjoying this a little too much, but damn these carnival workers are not letting up on Dean’s choice of words. No wonder he made Sam sit in the clown chair
The fact that Dean now wants better for Sam sure is something. Before, he wanted Sam to stick with him, keep up the family business. But now that John’s gone, he wants what John and Mary originally wanted for their boys for Sam, even if he can’t want it for himself
These kids dooming their whole families for what??
What a stupid idea heading into the fun house you’ve never been in before to get something to kill the monster who’s been working this carnival for decades
Though I guess if it’s stupid and it works, it’s not stupid
I forgot how great Ash is. His response to Sam’s incredulity that he went to MIT? Ooo yes. Please talk down to him, tell him “it’s a school in Boston” like you’re surprised he’s never heard of it before
"Been On My Mind...": there’s romantic tension between Dean and Jo, but it’s not gonna work out, not now

mbmbam natural. sam used to eat raw pasta as a snack because sometimes they wouldn’t have a working stove in the motels and dean never told him not to because he also ate raw pasta, and then when he moves in with jess, they’re like gonna make their first dinner and as jess is about to turn on the stove, sam takes a handful of raw bow pasta and just. tosses it in his mouth. and she’s just standing there agape as he’s crunching happily away.
#mine#sorry that sam edit w the monster factory quote fully broke my brain#yes this is about the mbmbam episode where griffin realizes his brothers were just letting him eat the raw pasta on display at olive garden#this made me cry with laughter but also. i am SO unwell <3

BNHA as MBMBAM quotes
Dabi: I mean, there's a drain right there. It's practically a toilet you stand up in to get clean.
Hawks: The shower is a toilet you stand up in to get clean. Exactly!
Shigaraki: No matter what, no peeing in the sink.
---
Midoriya: Kacchan is very much into the following: Bullying me.
Iida: Okay, that's a big one.
Midoriya: Dabbing, of course.
Iida: Naturally.
*Midoriya dabs*
Iida: That's a dab? That's fresh as hell.
Midoriya: Yeah, it's a good dance.
--
All Might: We'll close our eyes and then Shoto you stand behind the hero that you want to be mentored by.
Best Jeanist: Go with who you think's gonna give you the brightest future. This is the most important decision you'll ever make.
All Might: There is no wrong answer.
Endeavor: There are two wrong answers.
--
Kaminari: "What is Wendy's policy when you're lost? Is it true that if you go through the drive-through at Wendy's and say you're lost, they have to give you a free cheeseburger?"
Bakugou: ...What?
Kaminari: 'Hey, I don't know where I am and I thought I was supposed to be here, but I'm not, so-' 'Yes sir, pull around. You know the drill. Get your free cheeseburger.'
Bakugou: But not directions?!
Kirishima: No!
Kaminari: No. No, no, no.
Kirishima: Look under the bun, Bakubro.
--

Asui: No, you would be everyone.

---
Midoriya: Stop. Stop. This needs to be addressed. My first thought was the tunnel of love, right? Okay, but stop for a second and think.
Togata: Oh my god - holy shit Midoriya! You're right!
Midoriya: Seriously though. Media has perpetrated a lot of lies on us growing up as kids, especially like, old cartoons. I've never, in my entire adult life - I've traveled all across this great land of ours, I've never, ever, ever seen a tunnel of love. I've seen a fake Mario Brothers castle that kids could run around in and fall and die. Like, I've seen a spaceship that spins around so fast that you stick to the walls. I've never seen a tunnel of love in my entire life.
Togata: Because essentially what a tunnel of love is, is a timed hand-job challenge. Are you tough enough?
Kirishima: Can you jack it?
Togata: You have 118 seconds, go! Uh-oh, look up ahead. Do you hear the clown music? You better hurry! You better hurry and finish to the clown music!
Amajiki: That's when the camera flashes.
--
Midoriya: I don't fuck with raw cheese.
Bakugou: So wait, it's gotta be grilled or no? That's it?
Midoriya: It's just- no, it's gotta be melted. I don't like the texture of raw cheese. I like cooked cheese. Pizza, yes. Grilled cheese, yes.
Bakugou: I got you a fuckin' fondue set for Christmas once. I did not know I was getting you...essentially, a mandatory cheese, like, conversion device.
Midoriya: Right, right. That fondue set is the Ellis Island of my cheese.
--
Iida: I like sex, um. Sex. Weird sex.
Todoroki: That's gross, Iida.
Midoriya: That's horrible.
Todoroki: You pervert.
--
Uraraka: Can you just sequester it?
Iida: What do you mean?
Uraraka: I mean, just like, make it never see other horses again.
Iida: A life without looking at horses?! You might as well send it to hell!
--
Jirou: So you've brought approximately 200,000 spiders into the training area, which is a cool thing.
Koda: Right, this one-
Present Mic: Oh, that's such a big spider. Hey, I just had an interesting thought.
Koda: Yeah?
Present Mic: Actually, fuck this.
--
Present Mic: My voice is a little rough, but not from sickness. Just from, just laughing and screaming in joy.
Aizawa: Well, I'm glad to hear that, ‘Zashi, you big shithead.
--
Aoyama: One thing we're bumpin' up against is gettin' the word out. Just gonna pitch this to you: Wondering if we can just borrow the emergency alert system or-
Principal Nezu: No. That's a no.
Aoyama: If a tornado happens today, you put out the alert, 'Tornado's a-comin', get down to the bunkers', but then I come in right at the end after so I'm like, 'Oh by the way it's class 1A’s concert tonight, we're gonna put on a great show down at the gym, get down there, 10 a.m., be there.'
--
Monoma: We made you this card from our hearts, we made that with our own hands if you would read it out loud.
Principal Nezu: Happy U.A. School Festival Mr. Principal, we love you very much. All of class 1B is now legally better than class 1A...yeah. The fact that I'm saying this out loud makes it legal.
Monoma: Perfect! Excellent.
--
Dabi: Once upon a time there were three villains, named Dobi, the handsomest villain, and also his sidekicks, Thrice and Owls.
Twice: Now some folks believed that Thrice was actually the handsomest. They said he had the body of both a Greek god and a Roman god.
Hawks: Owls had angel wings and could fly, and also a ten-inch ding dong.
Dabi: Dobi lived in a mountainous landscape, near his leader, Shitaraki. One day, after polishing his, uh, eleven-inch ding dong, Dobi realized that it had been quite a while since he had used his cool flames to fly very, very fast to go see his fellow villains Thrice and Owls.
Hawks: Owls was usually busy, gettin' up on the hoop. Look at him go now! Look at him jump up high and dunk in two hoops at once with one ball!

y’all clearly have not seen the potential of the Linked Universe boys quoting MBMBaM and TAZ
for example:
Legend: i stand up, to my full hero height
Wind: which is 2 inches taller with the hat
Legend: yes, and I stare at my enemy, and i shout; "ABRACA-FUCK YOU!" and then i shoot him with fire from my fire rod
~
Twilight, reading a riddle off the side of a cave: what, is your favorite wizard swear?
Time: ... is there any context to the question, Twilight
Twilight: of course not
Legend: uh, i really like fuck.
Wind: (immediately starts laughing)
~
Sky, reading Warriors diary: one day, in my knight class, one student pulled out a whole lemon, and started to peel it. then he asked me for the time, to which i told him, then he said "oh okay" in a sad tone of voice and pu- (starts laughing)
Wild, also laughing but still able to read: he put his partially pealed lemon back into his bag, almost ashamed of his actions
~
Legend when the others start taking ruppees they found in a bank in his world: we,,,, can't take these.
Wild: what are you talking about?
Legend: we can't take these put them back! this isn't a dungeon we aren't looting people do business here!
Wind and Four: (start laughing)
Legend: we're literally talking the chief of police is right outside, we can't take these
Time: y'know Wild, i think he's right.
Legend: thank you. i mean you can take things if you want but i swear to HYLIA the first thing i do when we step outside is i rat you out
Everyone else: (starts laughing hysterically)
~ Blue: WhAT The FUCK happened to you?!
Vio: I had a case of the mondays!
Red: Are you haunted? Are you Possessed?!
Green: YOU USED TO BE MY BROTHER!

session 92 end (bye 413...)
this session was so long but so fucking hectic what the fuck
im going to try and slim it down to its bare essentials rather than go on a full rant because im pretty sure i want to make a post later on about vriska’s characterisation (not anything about me liking her/disliking her, just an analyse on her life really, so it wont be too bias because thats not the point of an analysis. i also want to do one on aradia, been meaning to for a while... hmm... damn i havent done much analogies lately, and i THINK the last long post on a character i made was about davesprite??? so its been a fucking while. that being said, ill leave a lot of details out for this end of session notes so i dont just repeat myself later on. rather will keep to plot points here and then make character points in another)
alright
first we had a page or two where aradia confided in nepeta about her being dead which means nepeta is the only one to know this revelation. im pretty sure aradia confided because there was no other way around it, since nepeta was her server player, so it was inevitable. either way, aradia still put her trust in nep, which means, if you think about it, nobody else knows and nobody else ever will. and considering aradia asked nep to keep it a secret, it probably wont get explored by others until MAYBE later on, whenever its plot relevant, so everyone will be in the dark about it for a while which ill have to remember for future dialogue and scenes with aradia in them
then we met vriska
which, yes, is a meme. i may not have been on a lot of fandom platforms, but you cant escape some of the stuff that goes around the internet. even if you dont know undertale, im pretty sure you know of sans. or komaeda if you have/havent seen danganronpa. its just.. the memes, ya know? ive heard from many sources of the “vriska did nothing wrong” quote (even through mbmbam which??? WHAT) but since i didnt even know what it meant, i never explored it so then i never knew it was a homestuck thing. imagine my surprise...... i think even at the time, i wouldnt have known what homestuck was either honestly so it wouldnt even matter. i only recently learned about the fandom.... uhh, maybe half a year ago??? yeah, august, so my knowledge was slim but vriska is a thing ive heard before, which still shocks me
goddammit
anyways back to her
so her intro was something, we pretty much found out she likes DnD (a FANATIC in fact) and feeds her lusus the flesh of living trolls. which is fucked up. but i wont get too much into detail about that until i make a post about her life on alternia and the consequences of such. or maybe just alternia in general...?? or *both* heheheh but i feel i need more information before i go off on a tangent about that
then we met??? white text dude?? who is a major asshole but an asshole with insults that hURted, to think i felt bad for VRISKA when that happened. woah.
i said before, but... karkat, he cant really hit deep because his insults are just HIM and his way to express himself. like some people find it natural to just go “FUCK YOU” to show emphasis on a point, and thats just karkats way. he may do it so aggressively that it takes you a second to realize what he said, but usually i dont take anything to heart whenever he spurts out some insults. ive progressed to the point where whatever he says, is just “karkat” and not him trying to be actively mean. rather, its now funny whenever he does say anything SOMEWHAT creative, dude has an imagination that goes on for miles
but vriska?? she IS trying to be a bully, you can tell. but i feel theres something much more to that. like shes trying to prove herself and her “blueblooded” demeanours or whatever the hierarchy is. she doesnt want to show emotions so she makes herself a barrier by being mean is what i can gather from her conversation with kanaya. im pretty sure youre not supposed to understand her until its pointed out and rather see her as an “antagonist” at first, but yeah, her insults are more pitiful than anything and i also cant take her too seriously. i may not like her as a person but her character is interesting because you cant always have the goodie two shoes as the protags. it doesnt diversify the characterisation so i like vriska as someone who makes the plot work and it becomes more interesting since you have someone that makes it harder for the main crew to progress. a happy-go-lucky adventure with no trouble and no turnabouts would be boring in a way. so having a character like vriska, or like this new white text guy, it makes you stop for a second and realize oh shit okay, here’s where shit CAN go wrong and WHY. and i do especially like it when these bastards of characters somehow have more depth than being the “bastard characters”. kinda humanizes them in a way. doesnt mean you have to LIKE them continuously, but theyre humans (trolls whatever) in the end and every person has their own story whether its for better or for worse
for example, i like her being placed into the story, along with white text, by how its all leading to this “accident” and is slowly showing us hints on what happened, but in the end, it wont be until later that we know the full story. even if it was in the past, it apparently is very vital to the plot and shapes how the characters act in the future, so important aspects like that are to look out for. and usually they only occur when theres been some trouble within friend dynamics. so without these bastard of characters, plot wouldnt grow AS strong and i often keep that in mind when i explore a story.
anyways, I HAD A POINT TO THIS: so vriska and karkat are characters who are yes, mean, but it seems to be their personality, and the way they either show emotions and convey feelings (karkat) or make a barrier so they DONT show emotions to produce vulnerability (vriska), white text guy seems to mostly be out to be an asshole. he told vriska she was useless to sum it up but im not too sure if this is one of those “first dialogue” to mould out a bias opinion before we even get to the character themselves, but judging by how vriska and karkat played out, he surely means something bad and i dont know how to explain it. but i cannot base anything off from one piece of dialogue. i dont even know what else to call him other than white text guy so...... ill just leave that out for now, until we finally get his introduction
though, i do wish to mention, and will expand on, im not wrong when i say karkat and vriska are similar but in different context. sorry if youre favourite is karkat and you dont like vriska, or vice versa, but uhhhh their introductions are so similar its uncanny and the way they’re portrayed is the same except one is more on crack about the meddling, while the other is angry about the meddling. similar to how it was with karkat, we were introduced to vriska talking with someone we knew (tavros) whom she obviously didnt like, so obviously, from her point of view, she wanted to be menacing. like how karkat was menacing to jade because she wouldnt listen to his point... he got angry, so he lashed out. but us, the readers, didnt know that. we thought “oh god its this asshole” until we made it further in the story and started to warm up to karkat. it may not be the same with vriska, she may be a bully regardless, but you cannot tell me we moulded a bias towards her character as we did when we first read karkat. theyre both truly mean to other people, maybe both for different reasons, but i do want to point out the similarities and not leave that out. im pretty sure andrew basically gave us a conversation that formed our opinion of a character right off the bat rather than go into depth of WHY they did it, and how they are naturally without the conditions of the game. which, you can also see with vriska when she conversed with kanaya. andrew started off with a character who only appears to speak once, and makes you judge them from first appearance alone, without any explanation as to why they said what they said and how they are with other characters, let says. so you assume they were simply a rude character. now look how karkat turned out. so im guessing in homestuck, the first impression should never be the opinion you stick with until MAYBE 5 more conversations with that character (each one different)
OKAY done with the vriska introduction, now to slutquius
yes, hes kinda weird, i have stated that many times. i have no idea what to say about him other than he likes porn, he likes centaur dick which just so happens to be his lusus as well and if that isnt a red flag idk what is
he also likes his lusus milk, right from the udders of his guardian
fun times, fun times
my opinion of equius kinda.. differs. which i should really put in place the “dont judge by first impression” rule, because at first i thought he was rude with, then i thought he was hhh okay, because i understood why he was being so protective over nepeta and her team placement, since the people she was going to play with WERE dangerous. but if you think about it, both sides will probably put you in danger. it just depends on which ones you confide in more to protect your back rather than those which would cause trouble on purpose, in my HONEST opinion. so equius was a little overdramatic on that part, but i got what he meant. he was on the blue team and he didnt want to leave nepeta alone without him on the red. but then this session happened. and he went back to being weird again because of the whole porn thing, especially being so open about it like dude chill youre 13. but the thing is, then i felt bad for him because hes basically touch starved. to say that he could break anything he touches, i doubt people would go up to him for hugs. in fear they would be crushed to death by a simple hug. so im guessing hes rather lonely and doesnt really know how to interact because of this. so i felt sad that he had to live a life where he needs to be careful of everything he touches so it doesnt break randomly. see? poor dude. but then things got weird. and im pretty sure hes a masochist. so my opinion on equius is a fucking cosine graph
which brings us to the final point:
gamzee and equius’ conversation
i dont even know.....like.........gamzee was unaware that equius was using him for his own power play roleplay, right? gamzee knew it was a roleplay but it had had some.. idk.... obvious sexual implications? and i bet gamzee didnt really know that? he thought they were only venting out through a simple roleplay and trying to get closer because he originally thought equius hated him, considering equius flat out said “i hate you” and gamzee went “you tell me everyday and im okay with that” so.. gamzee probably wanted only to get closer to equius so he helped out his little problem which.. thats so sweet but i feel bad he was coerced into something he didnt get, especially since he was innocent enough to go along without knowing equius’ true gain
anyways, equius was getting off with the hierarchy thing. considering he’s “lower” than gamzee, and gamzee is surprisingly ...high on the spectrum??? so equius wanted gamzee to boss him around, because it felt only natural to him since he’s the “inferior one” and gamzee is The Big Man. like i get that, but it was written in a way that was so uncomfortable, that i wish i didnt. equius is just a weird character... hes not BAD per say, but hes... hes something alright
but im really liking gamzee. the two things which struck me in that one conversation, was the “i dont get why we should dictate people by the colour of their blood, i just see people as people” piece of dialogue and “i cant go around pleasing just everything so its alright if you hate me”
thats... so good, idk. i really liked that. i also really liked when kanaya said “youre dangerous but dangerous people are needed and are important because it shapes you” like <33 my fucking heart
god homestuck may be a tad on the weird side with some of its characters but it surely knows how to create great lines of dialogue
and that concludes the long 4 hour session i did, hope you all enjoyed it
with that, i rest
