Toxic Sludge Yaoi Tournament: Kawoshin (Neon Genesis Evangelion) Vs Dirkjake (Homestuck)

(Vote for whichever ship you like more.)

Propaganda under cut. Note: spoilers for these medias may be below.

Kawoshin propaganda

"One of the most iconic toxic yaois. They can't both live. Either Kaworu kills Shinji and the rest of humanity, or Shinji kills Kaworu and saves the rest of humanity. Shinji is so thoroughly affected by the loss of Kaworu. He regrets it, he wants to go back and let Kaworu kill him. It's the last straw for Shinji in all honesty."

Dirkjake propaganda

"they are the definition of autism to autism miscommunication. neither of them want to actually be in a relationship with each other yet they stay together. because they're all either of them has ever known."

"Dirk and Jake date for like five months and then they break up because Dirk was too clingly and Jake was too ignoring everyone. They break up while Jake is doing drugs and saying he's going to marry two of their other friends and have a million babies. They talk on screen one time in canon and it's them breaking up. Dirk also made a robot that beats up Jake."

Antis DNI

Remember, you are voting for the ship you prefer, not the ship you find more problematic

Propaganda for both ships under the cut.

Stridercest Propaganda (Incest - Dirk is biologically Dave's father)

None that fits the bracket initially provided - feel free to Reblog with your own propaganda for this ship's advancement in the bracket.

Itacest Propaganda (Incest - Siblings)

"Italy and Romano are eachothers perfect half. They make the country of Italy together, fought countless wars to be united, and even if with some individual and couple issues, they very much still have so,so,so much care and love for one another. Romano even gets jealous at Japan and Germany for just sleeping in the same bed as his brother when Romano's not around, gosh! And not to mention, grumpy x sunshine dynamic + brother incest, what more can you ask?"

[t-imaeus-t-estified]

Anyone read this shit? I can just talk and no one cares, right?

[freakshowstrider]

I said I was going to talk about my mems so I guess I should. Not that anyone will really care, unless I guess some freakazoid like me thinks it would be a cool fanfiction which is cool. Do that if you want.

[catgirl-catboy]

I'm still upset about what Homestuck did to Dirkjake.

How dare Hussie build up a toxic romance where they hurt all of thier friends in the process of getting together but also make it clear the two care about each other and can't show it due to trauma...

give them a big kiss that was orchestrated by an antagonist so its kind of bittersweet.

Give them a big confrontation due to outside influences...

and then have them work it out offscreen in a montage.

Interesting choice.

[strawberrynightmere]

I have to confess something.

I do not like dirkjake. And before anyone jumps me, let me explain why.

The whole premise of their relationship was "if johndave did happen, but it was angsty and sort of homophobic." Like both of them had their own problems to deal with, and it affected their relationship. Speaking of which, whenever it came to their relationship, neither of them wanted to work through it. They avoided each other when it became too much, Dirk isolated himself, and Jake bothered Jane about their relationship. I'll repeat, Jake bothered another friend of his (who also had a crush on him) about the romantic relationship that was falling apart.

Since I'm already mentioning Jane, let me tell you how badly she was treated by the fandom because of this ship. Like any female character that is close with one or both of the male characters, the fandom had named her a heinous bitch for "getting in the way of the gay couple" (in some cases Roxy was too). And don't ever look at me in the eye and say that when the said couple neglected everything around them with their relationship. Jane blowing up at Jake after listening to him whine about Dirk for the umpteenth time, was in my eyes justified. imagine, ending up playing a game tho reset the universe and your dad who has protected you from assassination attempts is missing, you died at one point (and probably saw your own corpse and the corpses of your best friends), finding out offscreen that your alien friend got killed by her twin brother for dominance over the body they both possessed and then making a birthday party to hold some sort of sanity in your life and here calls that friend you had a crush on complaining about his relationship again while forgetting that it was your birthday, again.

Even when they broke up, they needed Jane and Roxy to pick up their slack and get them to be friends. I hoped that when Jane and Dirk talked about Jake that I would have probably liked the ship or found it tolerable.

But fucking NO! The Homestuck Epilog came out and the early 2010's Homestuck bullshit. Jane became an alien-hating-fashist (I don't care what anyone says. It's was very out of character) and made Dirk and Jake some kind of "tragic, uwu couple that are still pining for each other."

There was a lot I didn't like about the writing in Homestuck, but the retconning of the characters (Vriska and Gamzee included) was too much.

[joemophobic]

okay i finished homestuck and am currently working through the meat epilogues (have not read candy yet) and does dirk get better at all? i hate this fucker right now. i never liked him much to begin with but still

dirk is p mischaracterized like most homestuck characters are. 

People dislike Dirk? You're telling the same fandom that popularised the phrase "vriska did nothing wrong" dislikes Dirk? You know sometimes Im kinda glad that I read the comic a year after it concluded and a year before I became active on Tumblr because the fandom in it's heyday seems to span the weirdest talking points

anon the first two sentances was enough to tell me that you weren't on tumblr around 2016 and sooner. 2013 had everyone characterizing him as a brony weeb boy with the usual braindead borderline homophobic ship content of the time, but when I was really into Homestuck, claiming that Dirk was abusive, manipulative, and a narcissist was the common meta and widely-accepted fanon. Additionally, Dirk and Vriska being read as fucking character parallels was a common talking point as well, made popular by an asshole named swamp-wizard who was famous for being 'anti mogai' and basically scum of the fucking earth. People writing him as he actually was in-canon was a rare occurrance. Pretty much all of their 'proof' of him being manipulative and arrogant and him 'forcing' Jake into a relationship came from Hal's logs pre-entry into the session, and pointing this out would have you told that him and Hal were the same, even though Dirk himself fucking hated Hal. Being a Dirk apologist (aka anyone who actually knew his character) was seen as a major red flag and liking/kinning him made people think that you were some sort of condescending, self-important asshole. There was a guy called optimisticDuelist who wrote big meta posts on dirk and jake and dirkjake in general who was slowly working on setting things right, but then the epilogues dropped and everything went to hell.

I seem to be cursed with falling in love with complex characters that are horrifically butchered in fanon, but in Dirk's case, it's probably the worst example because a.) Dirk is hilariously sensitive and sweet in the webcomic, if you looked past how he THOUGHT he saw himself, and b.) The asshole writers on the epilogue team basically made fanon Dirk canon, both to specifically upset people and because they too believed him and Vriska were character parallels (fucking HOW). Which was such a kick in the goddamn nuts to someone like me, who was both a character analyser and a man who shared a lot of Dirk's insecurities/paranoia, struggles with his sexuality, and particular brand of depressive disorder. I don't know how/if the fandom changed, but when the postcanon shit dropped, the monster they made Dirk into basically became the smug 'I told you so' of the fandom. I left because it was legitimately deeply harmful to my mental health. And that's not even TOUCHING how bad people butchered Jake.

(Apparently optimisticDuelist was also on the epilogue/post-canon team and was trying to fight to make Dirk and Jake better, but got literally harassed into silence and kicked off under claims that as a man, him pushing for more nuance was him 'threatning people (women) in the workplace' or some other shit like that. So that gives you an idea of the type of people working on the post-canon content.)

[laseratingfist]

reading the anti-fraud guide again, this shit is so fucking funny.

HE JUST KEEPS DOING IT!!

molly is the girl who ends up working in serval's workshop if i recall correctly.

like chavez falling for the parallel universe printer scam TWICE in a row, this is kind of self-inflicted. also i wouldn't call forging a key a scam. it did what it was supposed to do, you can't get mad because you got caught doing something illegal because that's what you bought it for!!

on the one hand, that sucks for her. on the other hand, can we really say this is a scam....? it did what it was supposed to do, right? y'know, her job? that's what she wanted! i'm not saying overtime is good, but it doesn't say if the work done was bad or not. next time specify the robot has to go home at the same time you do i guess

ah, my personal favorite, because every time i think of it i remember the detective pony thing by dirk strider in homestuck. extremely funny and i want to know how they die

also, uh, i totally forgot about this bit! gotta make all that money back somehow, huh

Toxic Sludge Yaoi Tournament: Rhack (Borderlands) Vs Dirkjake (Homestuck)

(Vote for whichever you like more.)

Propaganda under the cut. Note: spoilers for these medias may be below.

Rhack propaganda

"Rhys idolized the man that Jack once was, and when he accidentally uploaded an AI of Jack into his own brain, and that Jack AI realized that Rhys idolizes him, he used that to his advantage to manipulate and exploit Rhys and made him betray all his friends. Also Jack had a whole plan to cut Rhys open and install a metal skeleton inside him so he could literally live inside and pilot his super sexy body."

Dirkjake propaganda

"they are the definition of autism to autism miscommunication. neither of them want to actually be in a relationship with each other yet they stay together. because they're all either of them has ever known."

"Dirk and Jake date for like five months and then they break up because Dirk was too clingly and Jake was too ignoring everyone. They break up while Jake is doing drugs and saying he's going to marry two of their other friends and have a million babies. They talk on screen one time in canon and it's them breaking up. Dirk also made a robot that beats up Jake."

THIS IS WHAT JADE IN THE EPILOGUES COULD HAVE BEEN

(ramblings of a lunatic about meat timeline of the epilogues as of part 23? im very passionate ig despite being VERY LATE to the party)

heavy inspiration from Marceline in Obsidian (and her song Woke Up). the epilogues fucked her characterization SO BADLY !!! hhhhhh >:(( I WANT TO SEE WEREWOLF ROCKSTAR THAT TOURS HEAVILY AND WHO HAPPENS TO BE MAKING HUGE SCIENTIFIC ADVANCEMENTS IN HER FREE TIME AND THUS IS RARELY HOME SO IT DIDNT FEEL RIGHT TO SETTLE DOWN AND GET A PLACE SO INSTEAD SHE COUCH SURFS AND SLEEPS AROUND/ CANT HOLD A RELATIONSHIP BECAUSE SHES ALWAYS ON THE GO!!! LIKE THAT IS A BETTER EXPLANATION HHHHH!!!! maybe exploration of aromantic pansexual jade? that could be a cool arc!! IDK i just need something to work with here because jade that can calculate that 86.234% of her romantic advances on karkat and dave were outright rejected and assumes that means it’s accepted BUT CANNOT CALCULATE HOW MUCH IS BEING RECIPROCATED??? makes no sense to me. but jade being slightly more out of touch because of her fame AND THEN trying to just mend or deepen friendships could be interesting and even a middle ground. i think jade would’ve cared about seeing john more too. i think anytime jade was in his area she’d show up and crash at his house, and then kick him out of bed and into therapy!!! or make him hang out with his friends!! get this boy on some anti anxiety/ depressants because he is sounding remarkably like my older sibling with extreme social anxiety who, when finally put on meds, moved out within the year and got a girlfriend !!! john’s battle with depression and living in the past without being able to move on just makes so much sense. i wish they focused more on that. i want him to be able to explore that. GRAIN OF SALT BECAUSE IM NOT FINISHED READING YET UH WHOOPS- so maybe some of this has been dipped into, but not from what i can see. karkat and dave are honestly keeping me reading. im in love with them. (i think it was dirk but correct me if wrong) fuck dirk for calling dave the weakest of the strider/lalondes!! MY BOY IS RECOVERING FROM CONDITIONED CHILDHOOD TRAUMA FROM A VERSION OF DIRK!!! ofc mid transformation Ulta Dirk fucking thinks that, Bro was the one to instill that dave was week and he needed to train him. dave disengaging and allowing himself to be soften by karkat is g r o w t h !!!! so fuck off fr
