Happy Father's Day to the fathers, to those you consider fathers, and to those who will become fathers! 🤩

Speaking of fathers... 👑/🖥️ Just another random thought about the SAGAU / Reverse Isekai idea I had...

🌶️🌶️ What if the boys found out that they can stay in your world forever if they got you pregnant? Or in the case of the female characters, if they get pregnant? Like... They found some kind of scripture / ancient text / legend / whatever that says something about being able to retain themselves once they sire / bear your children (How many are children we talking about? IDK). Just imagine how eager the boys would be to get you pregnant!! 🤤🥵

So, again with my favourites!!

Starring : Albedo, Alhaitham, Childe, Kaveh (Separate)

Tags / Warnings : 🌶️🌶️ [Chilis] Actual seggs; The boys being obsessed with you; Petnames (if it bothers you); Contains stray cuss words; Usage of potions; A little dramatic in Kaveh's part; 👑/🖥️ [SAGAU/Reverse Isekai] Based on the SAGAU / Reverse Isekai concept linked below but spicy; Concept used if original / glitch varies

Now just because Albedo was a homunculus doesn't mean he'd stop trying. In fact, he was even more inspired; even more dedicated to create new life inside your womb so he could be with you forever. As an artificial being, would he be able to get you pregnant? He wasn't sure yet but if he wasn't able to, he would find ways or die trying.

When he materialized in your room, he immediately drugged you into a deeper sleep. That way, he could experiment on you all night long without worry of waking you up and dematerializing back to Teyvat. And since he already fed you a slumber potion, why not go far as to give you something for your fertility and libido?

.

"Ahh...! My love, you're taking me so well. That's impressive," Albedo huffed as he pistoned his cock in and out of your abused pussy. "Ah...! Princess...!"

Albedo snapped his hips onto you and released another load of cum deep inside your already full womb. In turn, your slumbering body instinctively milked Albedo's manhood for more.

"Heh... Hehe... You really want it, don't you, my princess? I just love how you tighten around me and squeeze my cock," the alchemist sighed in contentment as he recovered from another orgasm.

"Ah, shit...! More... More! Fuck, you're so tight!" uncharacteristic cuss escaped from the Chalk Prince's lips. It felt so good to be buried deep inside you that the usually calm and poised Chief Alchemist couldn't help it.

White essence had long stained your sheets, an indication that Albedo had been assaulting you for a long time. But he wasn't done, no. He wanted to keep you as his beloved princess and if getting you pregnant was needed for this dream of his to come true, then he would gladly fuck you until your womb is full.

Alhaitham was probably the one who discovered the scriptures. Unfortunately, he was with a certain someone when he found out about the legend. It was a shame he couldn't stop the word from spreading. No worries. You usually keep Alhaitham active in your party so there was an insignificant chance his competitors could materialize in your world and get you pregnant.

Now that he was transported to your world, he must commence his plan. He stoically stared at your computer / Playstation (let's assume that's what you use to play) and carelessly unplugged the device, shutting it down abnormally. This made him glitch and stay in your world but only temporarily. Of course, he'd prefer to be in this state forever which was why he must proceed to the next step of his plan.

.

"Alhaitham, please stop...!!" your tongue was already lolled out while you plead for the virile scribe to be gentler with your wanton pussy.

"Oh? Don't act all shy and reserved now. You're clearly enjoying this because if you didn't-"

Alhaitham paused his movements and chuckled from seeing how your head quickly snapped in his direction. Your glossy eyes begged him to fuck you more and it proved just how much you wanted his cock.

"-well, you wouldn't be tightening around me and creaming all over me, right?"

"H - Haitham, you're being unfair...!" you cried from being on edge. "J - just make me cum already!!"

Alhaitham snickered before pressing onto your erected clit, making you squirm beneath his hard toned body. He did not move and only kept himself buried deep inside you while tinkering your sensitive little nub. The stimulation was enough to make you orgasm and convulse from the pleasure, milking Alhaitham and begging to be filled with his essence.

The Haravatat scholar knew how to push your buttons. Every time you masturbated to him, he observed you and etched in his mind how you wanted to be pleasured.

He also knew this won't stop you from playing Genshin Impact and using him as the main character. In fact, he assumed you would be more inclined to use him. You were a slut for him and giving you a taste of his sex would make you excited for more.

Now, all he had to do was to ensure you carry his child so he could make you his forever.

An interesting hearsay quickly spread across Teyvat. Word was if the active character that materialized in your world got you pregnant, they would be able to live with you in your world forever. Everyone became envious of the people who had the privilege of realizing this legend and one of these blessed people was the Eleventh Fatui Harbinger, Childe.

Childe couldn't help but feel giddily restless. Just the thought of seeing you pregnant and having a family with you made his cock stiffen in excitement. He wanted to knock you up so bad that he planned meticulously just to make sure you became his lovely wife.

.

"Aw, sweetheart. Don't be like that," Childe cooed at you. His hot breath fanned your ear as he whispered words that cajoled you deeper into depravity, "I know you want me to cum inside you. You feel that, right? How my cock twitches inside you and your pussy begs me to paint it white?"

"G - geez...! Fine! Today is a safe day anyway so I guess it's alright," you concurred. You then began to bounce on his cock once more, "Hehe~ Ah~! Make sure to cum tons, okay~?"

"Of course. Anything for you, my wifey," Childe responded in a husky voice.

"Hehe~ I can't believe you're actually letting me ride you on top today!" you chortled while grinding your hips to feel the Harbinger's hard erected manhood against your snug gummy walls. "Uwaaah~ this feels soooo good!"

With your sleepmask on, you failed to see the dark glint in Childe's eyes. He wanted to focus on your pleasure but it was hard to restrain himself from pinning you down and fucking your brains out. Like a bunny, you looked so adorable hopping up and down his cock that he wanted to make a mess out of you. But if it was true that you would have a higher chance of getting pregnant this way, then he would stop himself.

Patience is key as they say. He needed to tame his dark desires for now so he can reap the rewards later - and that reward was being with you forever.

The sappy architect's eyes glistened in delight. You mean there was a way he could stay with you forever? He could do something so that he wouldn't have to endure and make do with holding you in your sleep? If he got you pregnant, you would be his lover forever? What an interesting information indeed!

Kaveh stood in front of your bed, miserably debating whether to do this or not. His conscience ate at him. He loved you - he was obsessed with you - he wanted to be with you forever, but it was wrong to take advantage of you in your sleep. He sighed in agony and flopped beside you. And as if the higher beings heard his plea, your phone suddenly lit up and displayed a low battery alert before disappearing to reveal something interesting.

---------------

Kaveh smut. Tags: impregnation, cervix kissing, hard-core sex.

He wasn't sure if he could do hard-core but that was all the sign he needed to go with his original plan.

.

"N - nnh... You're so tight...," Kaveh whispered. He slowly dragged his cock deeper and penetrated you. "Mmh... Do you like that?"

Kaveh planted a kiss on your lips. He was being as gentle as he could in fear of waking you up.

"You're so gorgeous; nothing could compare to you. You are the embodiment of all that is beautiful," Kaveh praised you in a soft voice.

He continued to massage your snug walls with his veiny cock. A satisfied sigh escaped his chest when your warmth spasmed and clenched onto his manhood.

"Hehe. It seems you like this as much as I do," Kaveh mentioned with a proud smile.

He made love to you in the most romantic way. You were treated like a queen - a goddess who deserved all the love the world had to offer. Your pleasure was his priority, and he made sure to give every inch of you love and attention.

It was his first time doing this (with) to you, and he would be glad if he could have the chance to do more. All he hoped was for you to accept him should he manage to get you pregnant and stay in your world. After all, you were deprived of the privilege to decide if you wanted him or not.

Three among those four are triple crowned. Can you guess who's not triple crowned?

To whoever read this, thank you for your time. Here, have a pet bun-bun 🐇.

Again, happy father's day!!

TRAINTOBER | DAY 19 - Revolutionary

Gordon discovers that he has a cousin who is electric.

~~~

“Don’t be preposterous!” Gordon sniffed as he gazed at the large black A4 Pacific before him. 

Said A4 Pacific just chuckled in response. 

“You have my word of being named after Sir Nigel Gresley himself,” the engine declared but Gordon just humphed in response. 

“You’re in league with my brother, playing tricks on me as usual,” Gordon scoffed. 

Sir Nigel frowned and gave Gordon a hard stare of disproval. Had he been an engine that actively worked on the mainland and knew well of the structure of their leadership system, Gordon would have faltered but Gordon was not of the UK’s mainland. 

“You can try and intimidate me all you like, but I will not fall for one of my brother’s hair-brained schemes!” Gordon scoffed at him and Sir Nigel just stared at him dumbfounded.

“You really have no idea what happened on the LNER do you?” The A4 Pacific considered, shocked.

“I was on the other side of the country on an independent Island, why would I?” Gordon blustered and Sir Nigel seemed to relax and accepted the A1 Pacific’s reasoning. 

“I suppose you have a point,” he accepted. “But you have my word that I am not engaging in the foolishness that your brother does.”

Gordon frowned but said nothing. 

Sir Nigel Gresley had designed an electric engine? How utterly ridiculous! He’d never heard of such rubbish! Still, he didn’t know this A4 all that well and the only other two he knew were complete, well, one could have less than appealing words to say about either of them. Especially Bittern.

Sir Nigel seemed pleasant and had been nothing but proper and gentlemanly, much like a true express engine should act. And so, Gordon considered his options.

“Prove it,” he dared the A4 and Sir Nigel just gave him a humble smile. 

“But of course. But for that we’d have to make our way back to the National Railway Museum,” Sir Nigel informed him. “Would you care to double-head with me, my good fellow?”

Gordon was taken aback by the courtesy. 

“Why, of course!”

~~~

“The Class 76’s held a strange place on the LNER I must say,” Sir Nigel explained as they neared York. “Most of us weren’t sure what to make of them. They were Gresley’s yes, but they weren’t Steam Engines and so they wavered on the line of being ridiculed and respected.”

“I didn’t think Sir Gresley wanted to dabble with anything other than Steam!” Gordon huffed. “The man I knew wouldn’t have anyway!”

“Times change and people must adapt to them,” Sir Nigel refuted. “Sir Gresley was always experimenting, always wanting to improve upon what came before. It was inevitable really that he would turn to more officiant ways of transport.”

“But to abandon steam!” Gordon croaked out horrified. 

“Oh no!” Sir Nigel quickly assured Gordon. “He always thought of Steam as a viable competitor. But it was him who pushed for the electrification of the LNER. It was he who pushed for a national plant where engines could be proofed instead of going to France. He was a revolutionary man in more ways than one, but he never, not once forgot his roots.”

Gordon was silent for a long while. 

It made sense, all of it did. Sir Gresley was the type to look for constant improvement, constantly trying new ideas, not being afraid of suggestions and considering alternatives. Maybe Sir Nigel wasn’t trying to trick him. Maybe he spoke the truth. 

“There were 58 of the Class 76’s made,” Sir Nigel explained. “Thirteen of them were named and named for Greek Gods.”

“Well, at least it wasn’t birds,” Gordon snorted and Sir Nigel just gave a soft hum at that.

“Only one remains as an exhibit, although parts of others also remain,” Sir Nigel ignored Gordon’s comment. “Would you like to meet them?”

More and more Gordon began to believe the A4 as they drew into the museum.

“Wait, I recognise this place, isn’t this-”

“This used to be the York Locomotive Depot,” Sir Nigel explained with a smile. “A familiar home to many a LNER engine.”

“I didn’t know it got turned into the museum let along the National Museum,” Gordon breathed as he gazed around at the place. “It’s… so different.”

Sir Nigel did not say anything, simply allowing Gordon to reminisce on the past until they reached a strange very box-like engine with a black polished livery with red lining and yellow lettering, almost like an LMS engine. 

“Gordon, may I introduce Darnell, he is the Class 76 I was telling you about,” Sir Nigel introduced the engine and Gordon stared at him with a critical eye.

“Ah, you another one that doesn’t believe I’m a Gresley now do you?” Darnell gruffly accused and Gordon frowned.

“Well, you definitely sound like a North East Engine,” Gordon muttered.

“Ay ay, look down here,” Darnell invited the Blue A1 Pacific to look at something and Gordon glanced down at the placard before the electric engine. “Those are my designs yes? Look at em! Really look!”

With a frown, Gordon did as the engine asked but then gave a gasp as he saw the signature down the bottom.

Sir Nigel Gresley.

Gordon’s face turned red and he glanced at his A4 companion in embarrassment. He’d been right after all.

“I owe you an apology,” he confessed and Sir Nigel simply gave him a kind smile.

“You have no need to Gordon,” he praised his elder cousin. “Though, keep that suspicious eye on your brother. He does tend to be rather… childish at times.”

“You don’t have to tell me twice,” Gordon chuckled in turn.

As the title alludes to, I finished reading through A Light Spark in Darkness earlier today. It was, as I'd heard it would be, quite good; more than just being good, however, it surprised me in the ways it was good.

I'd heard that Goldenglow was depressed, that she really went through it in the event, but I wasn't expecting the manner in which it happened. I was expecting it to be more narrative suffering, well written but not realistically arbitrary. Seeing her instead have to deal with the indifferent cruelty of circumstance as all that she had managed to carve out was burned away entirely due to a conflict that she was not (yet) involved with at all. I also didn't expect it to happen so early in the event. I expected it to happen halfway, but instead it caps off the first vignette.

This is a good way to segue into the next thing that pleasantly surprised me: the story's structure. Telling it nonlinearly like they did, following different PoVs through fragments of the events and going further in time with each one, was a fascinating way to tell the story that worked very well. Apart from the initial vignette, every other one benefits from the dramatic irony of knowing key events that will happen because you have seen them in the other vignettes.

Back to the story, there were some things that definitely stood out to me. Goldenglow, on the edge of committing suicide, is talked back from the edge by a dying Haze. Neither knew the others' connection to the Green Spark or the fire. Haze saves Susie, and then in turn Susie desperately tries to save Haze. The whole sequence of scenes is an excellent demonstration of both of their characters. Haze knows what it's like to have her dreams destroyed; she lost everything in the witch's forest. She knew what needed to be said to keep Susie from jumping. It's her kindness and care for others that keeps Susie going, and it's her kindness that has her push so hard to try and save Haze.

It was great seeing Grani again. It was very satisfying seeing her push back against the corruption in the local guard. Quercus was likewise interesting. But the real standout I haven't mentioned already was, of course, Red. He was great every time he was on screen.

I was definitely taken off guard by the main story connections and implications the event had, especially in its last vignette. Taking place prior to ep10 but after ep8, we hear about things like the dukes all moving towards Londinium. Reunion remnants have arrived in Victoria, and are making transactions with none other than the man himself, Cannot Goodenough. They score a new method of transportation, and Elba (please Hypergryph I am begging you for an official TL of the op team a1 manga, the fan TL I found only goes up to ch6) catches up with an old friend. It seems like Cannot's partnership with Reunion here is what might lead him to get the prospective investment system tech from Djikstra. Or at least, that's what I headcanon; one of Cannot's lines when the investment system crashes mentions a "Mr. D."

At first Cannot was just the funny suspicious merchant who shows up in roguelike gamemodes and takes a nonsensical currency no one else seems to use, but the more he appears in events like this and Vigilo the more I wonder if he genuinely might be critically plot important in the grand scheme of the story. He clearly has a grand agenda behind the scenes. He works with Rusthammer, Rhodes Island, and Reunion, all for the sake of finding people willing to change the existing world order. He wants the people of terra to stop their petty wars for power, territory, and control, and turn their attention towards the real threats like the seaborn writhing beneath the waves and the demons in the far north, as well as something mentioned to be deep underground. Who is he, really? Are those the blood tentacles of a vampire sarkaz, or something else entirely?

Tangents aside, this event story is very good. Arknights continues to impress me with its story at every turn. Goldenglow out of ten, I will be buying her skin.

i'm in a bit of a john mood atm, so i wanted to write a post about some of the things that i think fanon gets wrong about him. the biggest thing is that imo a lot of people flatten john a ton in considering him the poster child for Homestuck™ as a story, which sucks because i think it should go the opposite way around. he's the prototype kid, yes, but that just means his unique traits have interesting implications for the rest of the story and homestuck's core themes, not that he doesnt have any unique traits to begin with. john informs homestuck of its themes, the story doesn't inform him of his character traits; sburb gives him the kernelsprite, but he & his friends are the ones doing the prototyping.

so, then, what are those character traits? who is john as a person and how does that inform the story as a whole?

TL;DR: if jade's overarching story arc is about the struggle of loneliness & isolation, john's is about the feeling of falling behind your peers, which is why i think his ending the story depressed works so well

trapped in the s(u)burbs

okay, argument: SBURB is clearly pronounced "sss-burb," like suburb but skipping over the first u. when the kids enter the session they are basically trapped in the world of the game until they can beat it and make the new universe -> they are trapped in the s(u)burbs -> they are home, stuck.

this is a weird line of thought but it's kinda interesting to go through the ways that the (human) kids are trapped in their homes, both physically and emotionally. rose is stuck in that she lives seemingly in the middle of fuckin' nowhere surrounded by a forest, dave is stuck in his apartment due to being watched by an abusive parent, and jade, jake, roxy, & dirk are all stuck in the middle of the ocean. john (and jane) however? they're just in the suburbs.

idk how much this cultural context translates to people living in other countries, but john & jane's original neighborhood is the fucking Epitome of modern american suburbia. i cannot emphasize enough just how much i fucking despise neighborhoods like this: sprawling and empty, they are a modern labyrinth to navigate. every single house looks like it was copy and pasted one spot over, the streets are all named the same thing but with slight differences ("Bluejay Road" vs. "Bluejay Lane" vs "Bluebird Court" HELL), driving through them is agony and walking is impossible. my dad pointed out to me one time that every single house looks like it was painted with a different shade of baby shit and he was correct. and this is not even mentioning the people that live there: i don't want to overgeneralize too much, but these houses are usually pretty big and the fact that they're supposed to be a "safer" place to raise kids makes them decently expensive, so these places are generally very white, very upper-middle class, and you can just. Feel It in the air

so this is where john starts his story. the page (A1:82) was one of the first things that caught my eye when reading homestuck originally, even as a dumb little preteen the age of the characters themselves with barely any greater social consciousness. john starts the story fucking around in his room, talking to all of his friends online, and who could ever blame him when it's such an american wasteland outside. not to get too far into my opinions on american architecture, but if you live anywhere in the united states and ESPECIALLY the suburbs you are basically trapped in the house until you can get your license at 16, transportation entirely at the whims of where your parents can/want to drive you. it makes sense, then, that john's aspect is breath and so heavily tied to transportation, a desire to get out and moving and interacting with the world. the sick irony of sburb, imo, is how that desire is later twisted against him.

when john first enters the session, meteors are beginning to destroy the world and the rest of the entire human population of earth. but to a kid for whom the entire world feels so far away and empty, how much does that really matter? especially when your internet friends, the few people you actually care about, are just going to enter the same game and escape along with you. speaking of,

2. social anxiety & internet friends

one thing i really like about the alpha kids is the fact that you can kinda reverse engineer them and their core character traits from the beta kids, which actually still works within the logic of canon if you consider their biological relationships. not only do the alphas and betas share chumhandle initials, but the person they share with is also the person they are most similar to across generational lines:

rose & dirk are both anal retentive motherfuckers + rose's interest in psychology informs dirk's interest in philosophy/old greek dudes, roxy & dave care about their friends to a fault and serve their needs constantly (emotionally vs. practically, maybe; and also maybe are in love with all their friends to some degree or another too?), jane & jade both have ties with their respective universe-iteration's first guardian and are mentally separated from everyone else at the start of their arcs (jane by not believing roxy and jade by getting prospit visions).

imo rose & dirk have the strongest connection and jade & jane the weakest, and each kid is also pretty unique on their own + informed by their more direct familial relationship too, but i think the chumhandle connection is key in understanding how the characters were initially created in terms of basic personalities, likes, dislikes, etc. since it fits with the stacking nature of how homestuck as a whole functions, both as a story and a world.

so: john & jake. i think fandom has actually done a good job with learning how to appreciate jake better in recent years by figuring out just how much of a persona he puts on to hide his intelligence, but since this is a john post, what's really interesting to me is how that might inform the way we view john.

to start, there are some really obvious connections between john & jake that are as clear as jake's first letter to john (A4:1955): both like pretty shitty movies, are allergic to peanuts, and they're practically identical in terms of appearance. what i see as the key connection however, which informs the entirety of homestuck's medium, is their shared social anxiety.

jake is a very socially anxious dude. all of the alphas are characterized by their inability to communicate and navigate interpersonal relationships, but this is especially true for jake, and i think the most obvious evidence for this is in the specific kind of character that he creates for himself. while realistically we know that jake spends most of his time (pre-brobot, at least) watching movies alone in his room, he specifically likes to take on the persona of an adventurous, extroverted action hero, charming and gentlemanly and generally a dumb jock. it's the dumb part that's important here: jake pretends to be a dumbass himbo so that when he fucks up and hurts people when he manipulates them into doing what he wants, he doesn't have to shoulder as much guilt/blame. he plays up being stupid specifically to avoid the agony of people being mad at him, caring way too much about other people's opinions (A6A2:4587). it's why the trickster arc is so painful for him, and also why he is so non-confrontational.

john is also pretty socially anxious, though i think it's a lot more subtle for him since john's upbeat personality isn't entirely a facade in the way that it is for jake. the most obvious evidence for this is again the fact that he only talks to, like, three people online and his dad. despite being 13, none of these kids ever mention jack shit about school or the other members of humanity about to be murdered by meteors from their own game, and i think that's more than just a necessity of the story considering how much homestuck seems to value realism (at least in terms of characters' emotional reactions & arc). john's dad (as pipefan413) clearly knows the neighbors since in the serious business chatting app you can see fedorafreak & the others also talking about escaping meteors, but the existence of any other kids in the neighborhood is unknown, though i would think likely considering john's early arc is set up to be as normal as possible to set up for the crazy bullshit later. (there's also the whole thing about john's peanut allergy + fear of the "peanut gallery" so)

since homestuck tells almost its entire story through the chatlogs of awkward teenagers, this is one key place where i think john's personality informs homestuck: namely, in its focus on isolation, loneliness, and growing up. SPEAKING OF,

3. childhood ignorance

jake isn't dumb, john isn't dumb, but why do so many people think that they are? for jake it's pretty clearly cause he wants it that way, but for john... i think it's cause he kind of. is? but also, he isn't. let me explain:

john often comes across to me as the most 13 year old 13 year old in the cast of homestuck. he's a sweet kid and intelligent enough for his age, but when that age is 13, there's not necessarily a lot there. john has also had the closest (closest. there's still a lot of weird shit there) thing to a Normal™ childhood out of the entire cast of homestuck (and yes that includes jane, she was the heiress to a corporate empire avoiding assassination attempts at 16, please don't call that shit normal), meaning that, in my opinion, a lot of his (lack of) maturity can be attributed to growing up pretty sheltered. where dave and rose had to contend with overt childhood abuse through toxic/neglectful parents, and even jade had to deal with a dog-parent & dead grandpa, john got a dad that actually cared about him.

this is not a bad thing in and of itself, but john being sheltered does mean that by the time they are actually entering the game and interacting with all these other worlds & alien peoples, he is imbued with a certain distinct ignorance of the greater world that becomes a very significant weakness in a story fucking dripping with semi-omniscient narrators that live to make you suffer. and, from the way he scribbles on the walls (A3:1049), this is something john is both aware of and frustrated with, calling himself a FOOL, tying to the tarot card (#1, his role as protagonist), the harlequin thing (clowns & their incredible pull on the meta of homestuck), & his anxieties (feeling ignorant & out of your depth stepping out of childhood into a world much broader and more complex and cruel than you're prepared for)

4. not a homosexual

i think i'm gonna run out of space here, so i'm just gonna copy & paste some hussie commentary here & maybe reblog this w/ some analysis of john & karkat's dynamic/parallels as "leaders" later (and maybe some june thoughts too):

5. successfully saved the world: the hero is depressed

okay, so earlier in part 1 i ended with a question:

but to a kid for whom the entire world feels so far away and empty, how much does that really matter?

i mostly left the answer to this implied earlier since it made more sense for the transition, but i think homestuck proper does give us an answer to this: it does matter! it just isn't until the end of the story, after they've won the game and finished the session, that it really starts to set in the extent of what they've lost.

so this entire post was largely motivated by another post i read earlier, which questioned why john in the snapchat credits didn't just go to live with the crockers. i gave a long ass commentary in the notes on that post, but my conclusion was basically this: john is depressed (!!!) and depression makes you apathetic & lose all motivation to do anything.

i've focused a lot on john's early life and the beginning of the story in this post, which is maybe in part because i've been rereading from the beginning recently, but also because john kind of loses touch with everyone else in the story as soon as he enters the session.

i think this is often read as just being a product of john's classpect, heir of breath. john doesn't just inherit breath when he godtiers, he also becomes it in a very literal sense (can't fucking find the page where he transforms into wind but ugh, whatever), so he when he literally loses touch with the reality of the story after gaining his retcon powers, it follows with the thematic concept of him being breath. this isn't bad, but i think it also goes further, again connecting with that idea that john is basically the "main character" of homestuck, which is actually a very unfortunate title as it means john in particular gets very wrapped up sburb & the story as a whole in a very literal sense. again: retcon powers.

for all my frustrations with the execution of the retcon, i can't deny that it makes a shit ton of sense for john to get those kinds of powers, since his character and position as the starting kid has always been so closely entwined with the story of homestuck as a whole (see: the entire rest of this post). it also ties back to that idea of john being particularly vulnerable as a naive kid in a world of maliciously omniscient characters (e.g. doc scratch, but also vriska/terezi & all of the trolls to some degree), puppetted around by the story and slowly losing all connections with "reality" and the rest of the cast (his friends!!)

you know all those scenes where john starts interacting w/ the shittily-drawn caliborn versions of all his friends? (or this page: (A6I5:6207)) that has always come across as kind of sad to me, because it feels representative of john's (lack of) connections to his friends by that point in the story. he gets so swept up in Plot Bullshit that he basically loses most of the contact he has w/ the people that were his closest friends for years (ik people hate inversion theory but he & karkat really are complementary in some ways), and that loss of connection just exacerbates his previous anxieties about being ignorant. the conversation between him, dave, & karkat on the meteor is really revealing of this (A6A6I5:7487). where dave & karkat & everyone else got three years to sort through their shit together, john was getting dragged off to make the story make sense again, technically completely losing everyone he had known and grown up with. it's not just that dad crocker is different: everyone is different.

(this also has the kind of even more depressing alternate implication that john doesn't even really get the chance to feel that difference outside of jade, since he wasn't able to connect with "his" original dave, rose, etc. in the pre-retcon timeline regardless. great!)

john's depression has always been one of my favorite parts of his character arc tbh, which ig is a weird thing to say, but it just makes so much sense to me as the next step in his story, if not the true conclusion. it's only after winning the game that john really starts to catch up with everyone else in terms of maturity and understanding, and by that point, when everyone already feels so far ahead, how could he possibly catch up? (the answer is that he can, just not alone, but it is that exact feeling of not being able to that makes him isolate in the first place. depression is a fucking shithole)

so much of homestuck is about loneliness, but in turn so much of homestuck is also about social connections, about the people around you that you love and care about and change your life. where karkat is able to heal the connections of the people around him by helping them through their interpersonal relationship bullshit, john gets caught in the wind of the plot and loses his connections, thus losing his ability to really mature as a person at the same rate as everyone else (not to mention how he might've felt behind in the first place). but still, even w/ john's arc ending on a heavy, perhaps unsatisfying note at the end of homestuck proper, i like to think there's still a lot of hope for him: after all, his dearest friends and family are all right there. he just needs to get off his ass and start talking to them.

(sidenote: while editing this part of the post, i suddenly realized just how sad it is that karkat and john talk so goddamn little in all of the post-canon shit. which fucking sucks actually because karkat would be the perfect person to yell at someone until they finally get off their ass and start trying to be a person again, exactly what john needs after the game imho. pumpkin route you are forming in my mind)

uhh anyways, i don't know how good of a job i did at tying this post back to my original goal, but if you read this far, thank you. i have been typing nonstop for like four straight hours (ᵃⁿᵈ ᵗʰ���ʳᵗᵉᵉⁿ ᵐᶦⁿᵘᵗᵉˢˀ) and i think my right ring finger is about to fall off.

bonus: 6. john is hussie???

OKAY, actual finale, this is quick and dumb but this idea comes pretty much entirely from a couple random lines of hussie commentary from a john & dave conversation on (A2:324):

John makes some pretty sassy quips here. I like the "15th day in a row" line, which makes sense since I was the one who actually said it in a real conversation about this.

most people make the connection between hussie & dave (& dirk, i suppose) since dave's sense of humor is basically just unfiltered hussie, but this comment makes me wonder what was put into john too (though i suppose you could consider all fictional characters imbued with some aspect of their author). i'm not super into psychoanalyzing hussie as a person through homestuck itself, but if you're into that, here ya go.

(Part.2 of Agent 03 Dapper-napping, Cellbit's nightmares :>>>>>>>) - :>

Does Cellbit Dream of Agent 3?

Well yes, but it's complicated. He does, though those memories are so mixed in with his other traumas that it's more of a tangled web than anything tangible. He tends to never sleep long enough to get nightmares. Never really reaching rem sleep and so never really getting time to dream. He couldn't care less to remember his dreams because they keep him up at night and being traumatized that badly just makes you want to forget more than anything else. Sometimes he can sleep but usually in the comfort of others that make his dream state far less likely to become a nightmare.

Yet, nightmares still do happen. He's gotten very good at waking himself up from bad dreams. But sometimes the dreams feel a little too real. He knows what his trauma nightmares are like. The fragmented walls of his prison cell, the cold isolation of that island. The prison-like feel of this new island. That bears fucking face. But his nightmares in the white walls of the federation, don't fit the theme. They don't seem like nightmares at all, just strange re-tellings of a regular day of an office worker. The horrible sensation of a mask being too tightly woven to your face. Clothes that fit a little too well to be comfortable. Sensations that you know dreams can't recreate this well unless it's happened to you before.

The masked faces of your fellow workers, a few of them, in dreams past, but in this dream, there's only one. He walks up to you, says some gibberish, distorted by the dream, but you know you disliked what he said. Actually you know you hate him, well, you dislike working with him at least or that he hates you for some reason. It's hard to tell exactly why, just that is inherently there. He's not in a mask like you are, just himself, painfully so.

"So are you going to tell me my mission or no?" You hear yourself say.

"Yes, dickhead be fucking patient." He's angrier than usual, which is not saying much considering that's how he always is.

"Language," You taunt. You know how much he hates that phrase. He flips you off, You smile behind your mask, careful not to laugh or make a noise.

"Language my ass again and I'm sending you to the nearest fucking ocean to drown."

"Considering you can't do this task yourself says a lot about your capabilities to perform that threat. ~~~~~~~~~~~~." He throws a book at you, you catch it flawlessly. He flips you off as he mumbles insults about you to himself as he walks away. You don't react and simply read the mission you've been given. You really have no clue why he dislikes you. Maybe he hates the other you? Well you're not meant to dabble about your other self much, risks of merging are possible should you both try and discover too much about the other. Messing with memories is finicky, and so you take precautions to keep those memories in line. Yet this coworker is so irresponsible considering your delicate situation. You plan to taunt him about it should you see him again. Carefully taking the book into your office and turning to the singular page of written text.

Please acquire The Fabergé Egg labeled '04' also known as 'Dapper' by the residents of Quesadilla Island. Please transport '04' to one of the designated locations for retransfer. Make sure to perform the prep for memory wipe Type A1.

'Dapper' Notes of Acquisition

Egg '04' is known to sleepwalk outside of protected areas. You are considered one of his Trusted Tíos.

A simple enough task. You hope this Dapper doesn't mind a few more nightmares in his life.

The Castle is quiet. How you like it. Far too grand for you, a simple fed worker. Yet it's where your other self spends his time, so you get acquainted with his home. You wait for Dapper's name to wander during the night. Keeping a careful eye on your map as you walk silently around the castle. Strange, messy and far too dark for your liking. You hear someone sleeping above, who you don't know. Vaguely you remember a 'husband', your 'husband'? ugh- No not your husband... his husband, his husband. Not yours, never yours, emotions are failure points. You were taught well.

It's not too long till Dapper's name appears, and soon after he wanders off. You track his name on the map carefully. He's obviously sleepwalking or at least still waking up from his sleep. A good time to catch him off guard, if he wasn't wandering around the farms of his caretaker's base. You do know that the cameras can't see you properly and that perception of you is distorted. But you can't help but be careful anyway. As you walk closer to your target, he doesn't notice you get closer.

It's easy and quick to stab it with a needle. To see him go completely unconscious and quickly pick up the thing as you locate the drop off point. The eggs aren't too heavy, the same as a small child. More awkward to carry than anything. Especially as you keep an eye out for any followers. The elevator flooshes and you set down the egg on the warp plate you find. Carefully following and destroying the plate as you pass. The egg slightly moves, waking up slightly sooner than you'd hope. So you hurry it along.

"Dapper, Follow me," You say grabbing the wrist of the egg, pulling it along. It listens though it's scared but it hears your voice and calms itself. It's not too far from the drop off point now. Quickly grabbing your keycard and swiping it in one clean motion.

You didn't do that. You didn't do that. You remind yourself you did none of this. You remind yourself this is not you. You remind yourself you don't work for the federation. You remind yourself this is all a dream. You are not part of the federation. You left us, and all that remains is me. You are not me. You are you and I am me. Remember this is all a dream Agent 03. All a dream. Remember that he is Agent 03, and you are Cellbit. Remember to not remember. Remembering is the first sin of being Agent 03. You cannot remember.

You did none of this.

Cellbit.

Cellbit.

Cellbit.

Cellbit.

Cellbit.

Cellbit.

"Cellbit? Gatinho? Estas bien?" He feels his heart beat way too fast, the sweat that's swelling from his skin and goosebumps piling up. The feeling of that deep empty hopelessness eating at his soul. Yet he also feels the soft embrace of another, who holds him tight in a hug. Who keeps him here in reality, whose warmth keeps him from falling even deeper into despair.

"Sí, when you're here, guapito," giving a short sweet kiss to his love. "Just a another nightmare."

"Voy a matar a la próxima persona que tormenta en tus sueños. Pendejo."

"No le mates a nadie. It's fine, guapito. The nightmares just happen." Another kiss tucked between the words. The nightmare feels farther away now. Less real as you sink into reality with your guapito. Your husband keeps you grounded. And those nightmares aren't real.

Those nightmares aren't real...

YEAAAHAHAAAA YESSSS OMG NONNIE. THIS ONE IS SO GOOD OMG

[udhhyog2]

All About Flange-Udhhyog

Q1: What are the different types of flanges, and how do I choose the right one for my application?

A1: There are several types of flanges, including:

Weld Neck Flanges: Designed for high-pressure applications and welded to the pipe, providing a strong connection.

Slip-On Flanges: Slide over the pipe and are welded both inside and outside, ideal for low-pressure applications.

Blind Flanges: Used to close the end of a piping system, preventing the flow of fluids.

Socket Weld Flanges: For small-diameter pipes, where the pipe is inserted into the flange and welded.

Lap Joint Flanges: Used with a stub end, allowing for easier disassembly.

To choose the right flange, consider the application pressure, temperature, pipe size, and the type of connection required.

Q2: How do flange standards vary by country, and what should I know about them?

A2: Flange standards can vary significantly between countries. For instance:

ANSI (American National Standards Institute): Commonly used in the USA, focusing on pressure ratings and dimensions.

DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung): Widely used in Europe, specifying metric dimensions and pressure ratings.

JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards): Used in Japan, similar to ANSI but with different specifications.

When selecting flanges, be aware of the applicable standards in your region to ensure compatibility with existing piping systems.

Q3: What materials are commonly used for flanges, and what are their advantages?

A3: Common materials for flanges include:

Mild Steel (MS): Cost-effective and suitable for low-pressure applications.

Stainless Steel: Corrosion-resistant and ideal for high-pressure and high-temperature applications.

Carbon Steel: Offers strength and durability for industrial applications.

Alloy Steel: Used for specialized applications requiring high strength and resistance to wear and corrosion.

The choice of material should be based on the operating environment, pressure, temperature, and the medium being transported.

Q4: How can I prevent leakage in flange connections?

A4: To prevent leakage in flange connections:

Use Quality Gaskets: Select the right gasket material based on the application and ensure proper installation.

Ensure Proper Alignment: Misalignment can lead to leaks; ensure that flanges are correctly aligned before tightening.

Tighten Bolts Uniformly: Follow the manufacturer's specifications for bolt torque to ensure even pressure distribution.

Regular Maintenance: Inspect flanges periodically for wear or damage and replace gaskets as necessary.

Material Costs: Increases in raw material prices can lead to higher flange costs.

Supply Chain Issues: Disruptions in manufacturing or transportation can affect availability and pricing.

Market Demand: Increased demand in specific industries can drive prices up.

Regularly monitoring market trends and supplier prices can help you anticipate changes.

Q7: What are the benefits of using stainless steel flanges over mild steel flanges?

A7: Benefits of using stainless steel flanges include:

Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel can withstand harsh environments, making it suitable for chemical and coastal applications.

Strength and Durability: Offers better strength-to-weight ratios and longevity compared to mild steel.

Aesthetic Appeal: Stainless steel has a polished finish that is visually appealing in exposed applications.

However, stainless steel flanges are typically more expensive than mild steel flanges.

Q8: How do I determine the right flange size for my piping system?

A8: To determine the right flange size:

Measure the Pipe Diameter: Determine the outer diameter of the pipe.

Check Pressure Ratings: Ensure that the flange matches the pressure rating of the piping system.

Refer to Standards: Use ANSI, DIN, or other relevant standards to find the corresponding flange dimensions for your pipe size and pressure requirements.

Q9: What is the significance of flange pressure ratings?

A9: Flange pressure ratings indicate the maximum pressure a flange can withstand at a specified temperature. They are essential for:

Safety: Ensuring that the flange can handle the operational pressures without failing.

Compatibility: Matching flanges with piping and equipment rated for similar pressures prevents leaks and accidents.
