#bc she hasnt written properly in ages

[sammygender]

things about homestuck i have discovered in my reread

terezi is my favourite character and will always be

caliborn is fucking HILARIOUS jesus christ somehow i forgot this (he hasnt got to the misogyny yet that part gets kind of less funny)

dave and karkat kind of ARE that good, regrettably. i feel like we all go through a davekat phase upon first reading and then gradually we get over dave and karkat and move onto other, better pursuits, like vrisrezi fanfiction or space player meta. rereading tho man they are excellent… not the most compelling characters of COURSE and really more like babys first analysis in terms of dissecting them, but man they are funny, man their emotional arcs are vivid and well written, man they are hilarious together also (penis ouija. yeah that was funny). coming out as a dave and karkat fan once again

homestuck in general but especially the start of act 6 is INCREDIBLY funny. for some reason i thought act 6 was less funny and more like plot-heavy which i guess it kind of us to an extent cause most of it is now Relevant all the time but oh my god the alpha kids are a trainwreck and its so funny

on the subject of the alpha kids. last time i properly read homestuck i was like 14. i had never experienced being the same age of the alpha kids and now looking back its insane. that is LITERALLY what being 15/16 is like. the romantic chaos the constant miscommunication the way this group of best friends just somehow have so many fucking problems with each other??? and the COMPLEXES. my god

appreciating roxy more this time round than i ever did before she rubbed me a little the wrong way first read i think maybe bc everyone heralded her as like The Unproblematic Alpha Kid when like oh my god she is a fucking MESS but when looking at her through that lens shes fantastic

jade harley should be mean more often. every PASSWORD FUCKASS interaction was an absolute delight. man she should get more page time

vriska is indefensible when u first meet her its so hard explaining to people that shes like The Fucking Best when she spends most of her intro mocking the guy she paralysed for being paralysed. sadly, she still IS the fucking best.

did i mention terezi pyrope is my favourite character ever in anything

i still cant pay attention to anything exile related i'm sorry. i just look at the pretty pictures and skip through it quickly as possible. if they dont have complex psychology and fun conversations idc sorry im a bad hs fan

calliope is both a delight and so wrong like all of the time. reading her i see where all the fandom misconceptions come from. ur not meant to take her word as 100% serious when she says stuff like male/female classes or whatever!! she sees everything through this incredibly binary 2 choice lens like caliborn bc thats literally the life she lives. this is also extra funny i guess considering shes literally kind of meant to represent the hs fandom

LIL HAL <33333333

sorry that so much of this is about the alpha kids im part way into act 6 now

dirkjake so far have not had a single interaction and iirc they never do??? fascinating storytelling since we still have a perfect picture of their dynamic

terezi is characteristically being stupid about vriska again, because she is complicatedly and unwittingly in love with her

DAVEREZI FOR THE FUCKING WIN MY GOD. THEYD NEVER WORK ENDGAME BUT THEY ARE SO FUNNY TOGETHER LITERALLY BFFS. no romance tho just vibes

does rose get confirmed as a lesbian later in the text or is that just a fandom interpretation cause ngl i have seen people harassed over bi rose which is kinda crazy anyway but would be even crazier if its not. an actual canon fact

LE SIGN IS UNIVERSALLY ACKNOWLEDGED TO MEAN TOO BAD HES GAY YOU OBTUSE DUNDERFUCK from roxy compared to poor dirk calling the word gay antediluvian. man just wants to like jake in peace

honestly everything alpha kid wise is insane lets just. put it there

I MISS VRISKA

terezi is my favourite also have i said that already

ok I was gonna write a fanfic of drarry but then I got sort of lazy and now I can’t get this idea out of my head and I know it might sound basic af but stick with me here

Tentative title: stupid Cupid

Aka

- an eighth year fic bc yolo

- one Draco Malfoy who doesn’t want to enter a courtship with one Astoria green grass

- therefore he helpfully pushes her in the direction of someone else

- and bam mr Draco Malfoy just accidentally started his own matchmaking business

- that summer after the final battle, Draco licks his wounds n helps connect others—not just romantically

- he reunited families???? Like a lost people service??? Idk I didn’t think this part through too well

- anywaaays back to hoggywarts he and everyone else goes and ofc the matchmaking business follows and Draco starts up a matchmaking club bc clubs are a real thing in schools and I can’t not believe that hogwarts has no such thing so here we are

- this whole time, mind u, mr Harry Potter is like stuck! in! a! rut! Getting back together with Ginny is both easy and hard and so he avoids it all together

- Harry is a lil listless thing and doesn’t really hear about Draco’s matchmaking until he’s back at hogwarts, even then, Harry doesn’t believe it

- also lets turn up the angst a bit and add Harry thinks it’s a little unfair that Draco managed to pull himself up so fast and that Harry is still stuck in darkness and gloom postwar

- but I mean post war Wizarding world hasn’t been easy on Draco either but whatever

- anyywaaaays Ginny lowkey (or highkey???) wants to get back together and Harry avoids her like the plague But come winter harry is like over! It!

- he oddly confides with Neville, who sneakily has been dating Blaise thanks to draco so Neville suggests Harry use Draco’s matchmaking services to get Ginny off his back

- WHICH finally leads us to Draco n Harry meeting like cowboys in an abandoned classroom

- Draco agrees to help Harry get Ginny a new ~partner~ (re: Luna Lovegood hehe) BUT not bc he wants to help Harry necessarily, but bc he wants to matchmake LUNA (we love a Luna and Draco friendship ok)

- obvy while getting Ginny and Luna together, Harry and Draco spend more time together ;))))))))
