#and sorry for the late reply

Hello!

I wanted to spread some positivity to people I follow in the cod fandom so this is for you:

I consider you be an absolutely integral part of the fandom. Every single one of your renders is amazing and have so much detail. They also feel very natural.

If I had to compliment some (besides all of them) this one really has inspired me to jostle around some au ideas and this one just makes me blush.

I hope you realize that your renders contributed to an exact turning point that I can remember happening that awoke the horny side of the fandom. And you feed them well.

And lastly, it's very kind of you to let people use your renders even after all your hard work.

You know this is one of those messages where I just have no idea how to respond because a simple "thank you" is not enough to show how much I appreciate it. I've been thinking about it for two weeks since I read it and honestly I didn't know how to respond because I had thousands thoughts in my head but none at the same time. This year has been a wave of bad news for me that I've been trying to overcome by working harder and when I got this message I was feeling down, so you have no idea how much it helped me. One simple smile while reading this made my day better.

I'm grateful for it❤️

Howdy! For my photography class we get to talk about any photo that we like, so of course I'm choosing Mechs photos. However, we need to cite the photos and give credit to the photographer. Since I find Mechs photos on Pinterest that is quite difficult, so I'm wondering if you know the photographers of these photos https://www.pinterest.com/pin/122371314867940939/ https://www.pinterest.com/pin/602215781445551816/

Good day and thank you!

Photo one of carmilla: If i had to guess, Morgan took that one, but I don't entirely know for certain. If I recall off the top of my head, that is one of the photos Maki sent in the discord that one time, so its source is more ambiguous.

Photo two: donnington bridge! https://www.flickr.com/photos/nicole-w/albums/72157644706579722/with/14021275360

it isnt in the main flickr album, which means its in another one that i am to busy to track down the link too in this exact moment, but it was taken on this day, by the poster of the album, who has their name listed as Nicole W.

now, if you want to know which lyrics specifically i think reference the fact that he's more of a sub, here we go: //

Couple examples to add, re: themes of submission/domination in Alex's lyrics, plus a bit of a boot fetish? 🤔

From Crying Lightning "Your past times consisted of the strange / twisted and deranged / and I love [later it's hate] that little game you had called / crying lightning." Our guy likes cold, imperious ladies. Whatever her "twisted" game is, on some level he perceives it as attractive and sensual (with the connection to eating sweets).

"Your love is like a studded leather headlock" and "Jigsaw women with horror movie shoes / be cruel to me, 'cause I'm a fool for you" from Suck it and See. Do I need to explain this one lol.

More shoe stuff in She's Thunderstorms "Her motorcycle boots give me this kind of / acrobatic blood" and Arabella's "interstellar gator-skin boots" of course.

Moving onto TLSP which is a bit tricky since they were cowritten, but there are a few more that stick out.

Like Catapult, Two Hearts in Two Weeks is 100% grade A scary hot man music that kinda makes me worried for baby Alex to be honest. Just read the lyrics and you'll see what I'm talking about.

And in Black Plant "You said there was a nagging lack / of smiles when dancing on your back / tenderness aplenty but that wasn't what you craved." This lyric is basically his girl going choke me and he's like uhh actually I'd prefer it if you choked me please and thanks 😝

the shoe obsession is so real vndknckskdnjv i respect shoe fetish believers

and okay tell me how in the holy fuck did i forget two hearts in two weeks existed, the lyrics are So striking. jesus

all great and valid additions, thank you anon!

What are dead man walking tornadoes? :O

it’s a multi-vortex tornado. i dont remember the tribe it originates from (i think it was cherokee), but there’s a native american legend…? saying? that goes “if you see a man in a tornado, you are about to die.”

the most infamous shot of a dead man walking tornado hit jarrell, texas in 1997

it did so much damage to the town it caused the scale that tornados are measured by, the fijita scale, undergo revisions, and it made anchoring buildings in the tornado alley region pretty much mandatory. (it took the entire town off the map. only those who had taken shelter outside of the town or in underground bunkers survived.)

two more examples of dead man walking tornadoes looking like a person are a tornado from 2011 that hit cullman, alabama

and a tornado from 1975 that hit xenia, ohio

edit: it has been brought to my attention that the native american “legend” part of this post was a rumor spread by a documentary.

i have been asked to remove it, but i believe in letting my errors stand because i’m not perfect. i make mistakes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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