Help me prove my family wrong!

I don't know if this post will break containment, but will you like/reblog if you are or know a man who is asexual? All of the people in my life seem convinced that being Ace is a 'girl thing' and that Ace men don't exist!

Do u ever think abt Eddie Munson, the blacksmiths nephew, a gangly lad, all limbs and theatrics, he's good with a hammer, he can chop wood all day, run faster than most, and can probably make a sort of decent weapon, but he's no fighter, he's no strong man, and he's way better at making shields.

An do you ever think abt him trying to find decent materials out in the woods, only to stumble across an enormous downed golden dragon in a clearing made by its fall, the beast defensive but in too much pain to really fight back, the bodies of its attackers littering the area where it'd successfully fended them off but is in so much pain.

Do u ever think about Eddie spending days and nights out in that clearing tending to that big dragons wounds, keeping it warm with fires he's made, catching it fish and making sure it's eating, until it finally has enough strength to take to the skies once more and disappear into the heavens.

only for a man with beautiful golden brown eyes, sunkissed skin and soft swoopy hair and the oh so subtle spattering of golden scales across his cheekbones turns up to the Munsons blacksmith a few weeks later, wanting to thank Eddie properly for his care.

i am in love with your sollux i think

sollux love party :]

if you’re interested heres some of my personal fondness thoughts on him.. big warning for the mega long read ahead aye

as we alr know sollux's rejection of participation somewhat mirrors dave's rejection of heroism, but even without getting cooked to completion i still find sollux's character v compelling beyond the fourth wall

as someone who doesnt get a pinch of that Protagonist Sparkle to begin with, he can openly say he wants to leave anytime…. and unlike dave, he actually Can leave the scene anytime. but he can never be truly Free from the story via permanent character death like the other trolls.

his irrelevancy is indeed relevant - he’s there so u can point him out.

while his image is intended to be a relic of past internet subculture, his role is not only about hehehaha being a Chad or a 2000s cyberforum 2²chan haxxor ragequit gamebro.

his continued existence also happens to add a Bit to the overarching themes of homestuck! a Bit that gives him longer-lasting thematic relevance compared to the trolls who could’ve had more character potential but didnt get to survive beyond the main story.

the Bit in question:

his defiance contributes to the illusion of agency (treating characters = people with autonomy). he’s “aware” of it, and that recognition is worth noting enough to forcibly keep him alive as both reward and punishment.

considering how his personality & classpect is designed its definitely a very haha thing for hussie to do LOL. he’s made to be op asf so he's resigned to doing dirty work, gradually deteriorating along the way but never truly dying. as fans have mentioned before, him openly rejecting involvement after a while of grim tolerance is like if the sim u were controlling suddenly stopped, looked up and gave u the finger while u were step six into the walkthrough for Every Possible Sim Death Animation.

but since he’s just a sim… the more he hates it, the more you keep him around. if ur sim started complaining abt your whimsical household storyline you’d definitely keep that little fuck.

but yeah i like that sollux is just idling. the significance of his presence being that one dude who's always reliably Somewhere, root core Unchanged, no individual ambitions (possibly due to fear of consequence?), and design-wise: a staple representative product of his time.

compared to dirk's character, who has aged phenomenally well into the present (themes of control + AR + artificial intelligence, clearer exploration around navigating relationships/sexuality, infinite possibilities of self-splinterhood and trait inheritance), sollux's potential is really... contained. bitter. defeatist. limiting and frustrating in the way old tech is.

the world continues moving on to shinier, brighter, more advanced automated things - minimalist and metaverse or whatever but sollux is still here 🧍‍♂️ going woohoo redblue 3d. (tho personally i imagine his vibe similar to what the kids call cassette futurism on pinterest mixed w more grimy grunge insectoid influences eheh)

conceptually-speaking,

at the foundation of it all, the rapid pace of modern development was built off the understanding of ppl like sollux in the past, who were There actively at work while the dough was still beginning to rise

thats one of the cool things abt the idea of trolls preceding humans! the idea that trolls like sollux excelled back when lots of basic shit still needed to be discovered, building structures like networks and codes from scratch, and humans will eventually inherit and reinvent that knowledge in ways that become so optimized it makes the old manual effort seem archaic, slow, and labour-intensive.

but despite information/resources/shortcuts being more accessible now, much of the new highly-anticipated stuff released on trend still end up unfinished, inefficient, or expiring quickly due to cutting corners under severe capitalistic pressures

meanwhile, some of the old stuff frm past generations of thorough, exploratory and perfectionistic development still remains working, complete, and ever so sturdy.

those things continue to exist, just outside our periphery with either:

zero purpose left for modern needs (outdated/obsolete)

or

far too important to replace or destroy, bcs of its surprisingly essential and circumstantial usefulness in one niche specific area.

which are honestly? both points that sum up sollux pree well.

dramatic ending sorry. anw are u still on the fence or are u Sick abt him like me </3

i do find it kinda silly when ppl get mad at fanon jaime feminization or what not. like im sure sometimes versions of it and the way its discussed is unfounded and frustrating but the text absolutely touches on these topics with him repeatedly lol. i often find fans pulling out “female coded” shit with male characters meaningless nonsense and not at all applicable but if it isnt like that annoying shit then im sorry but the text is very deliberately playing with stuff like jaime being the maiden for brienne instead of the warrior and so on in order to continue to discuss gender constructs and roles. like cmon it is cersei’s twin brother ofc george is gonna do a lot of gender shit especially once his sword hand which is his source of physical prowess and is extremely tied to masculinity in his culture is maimed. like if we are not doing “the dudebros hate kylo ren bc hes femme coded” shit then its fine and not even discussion being pulled out of our asses
