excerpting
Domestic Diplomacy II is turning out to be even more "splickedy gratuitously gets caught in the weeds of xenosociology and alien language barriers, the fic sequel" and tbh I'm not mad about it
--
“Oh, your moirail!” says Jade, and bounces upright, ignoring John’s wary little soft human cautionary hiss. To your vague surprise, she’s apparently learned enough not to do the human holding-out-a-hand gesture they usually do when they’re introduced; she clasps her hands in front of her, nonexistent claws politely folded in, and ducks her head briefly forward and to one side, careful not to jab at him with her nonexistent horns.
It's a pretty passable greeting—for a social equal, which is its own bizarre issue, considering he’s a highblood. But relatively non-offensive, for a human, and fortunately for her she’s picked a highblood who isn’t likely to give a shit. Gamzee laughs out loud and gives his own lazy-ass version of a greeting back, a vague twist of his wrists and dip of his head, condescending to use an equal’s greeting back at her. When he says “Gamzee Makara,” there’s a hint of a threatening buzz to it, a testing you should know to respect me warning—you could have told him she’d show absolutely no sign of hearing it, which is exactly what happens.
“I’m Jade Harley! I meet you,” Jade says, a carefully neutral statement-of-fact greeting—not fawning or hostile. You don’t know if humans are out here just learning neutral address no matter what, or if this human particularly just doesn’t give a shit that your moirail’s a fuck-off mutant-huge highblood with horns that scrape the ceiling of the block—by the expectant way she looks up at Gamzee afterward, she wouldn’t give much of a shit either way. Out of all of the humans, Jade Harley might actually win the prize for giving the least shits, no matter what Rose and Dave like to pretend.
“Yeah, I meet you too, motherfucker,” says Gamzee, looking incredibly amused, and glances down at you. “She’s a rude-ass little motherfuckin’ toothful, huh? I like her.”
“Of course you do,” you say, pained. “Don’t take it personally, alright? You’re not a highblood here, they don’t get highbloods.”
“Oh, best friend,” says Gamzee, and kisses your nugbone again, embarrassingly. “I’m a highblood wherever the fuck I go. It’s cool though. Squishy-ass little motherfuckers won’t get any grief from me.”
“<Motherfucker>,” Jade repeats behind you, and switches back to English, in the bright, wide verbal tone you’re starting to learn means ‘smiling and happy’, weird interstitial ‘vowel’ breath-sounds further back in the throat through pulled-back mouth-corners. “Hmm, <motherfucker>… Oh, neat! Is that dialect? It sounds like, ahh, what’s that other word. Kk—kkkht— Uh, dammit. You guys need to learn how to use vowels— It sounds like <;brother>.”
“It is like,” you say, surprised despite yourself. “<Brother> is a troll, and <motherfucker> you put it all spots you want. It’s a thing, it’s a troll, it’s a, tss, a doing-things word, it’s a name. It’s bad, it’s good. Any spot you want. And he does want, for all those, all the time.”
#splickedydrabbles#Homestuck#Domestic Diplomacy#me staring into the distance: what if 'motherfucker' and 'brother' are translated different but they're related words in alternian....#what if 'brother' and 'sister' aren't different words theyre just translated in english based on gender but there's no distinction actually#it's all the word I tend to translate as 'kin'/'family'/'fam' lol but gendered by english-speakers for comprehension#what if alternian greetings have implicit settings for 'i'm hostile to you' and 'i'm trying to be non-offensive and polite'#and the lack of either is an implicit message of 'we're equals' which comes with its own social baggage RE: castes#what if I approached Homestuck as though it was implicitly a translated text ala JRR Tolkein's meta-narrative of Lord of the Rings#''Alternian wouldn't spell his name 'karkat vantas' of course but it's been anglicized for the audience with additional vowel sounds''#'when his tone of voice is referenced in this line it of course actually refers to his engagement of his third subvocal chatterbox--''#WHAT IF--#I am frothing at the damn mouth I love fucking around in this sandbox so much I will make up ALL the societal/cultural indicators#this is the casual/semi-formal/court-formal code-switching in Save a Horse Ride a Dragon all over again lmao NO REGERTS

pre-relationship bullshit haikyuu teams probably had to put up with before various ships managed to get their shit together
daisuga probably was really annoying with like small/petty jealousy, like a girl would hit on one of them and the other would be standing behind their back making faces about it and mocking it and everyone else on the team just has to put up with it. and then theyre all overly sweet to each other to make up for the petty jealousy or some odd version of "winning them back" after the flirting event and the team is rolling their eyes *so hard*
i think asanoya is so annoying bc nobody can convince Asahi that Noya likes him. Like full stop. Eventually someone pulls him aside and is point blank like "Noya said he has a crush on you ask him out" and Asahi is just like: "Haha he was probably joking" and just leaves the scene. Like the absolute refusal to believe it from Asahi combined with Noya's classic teen boy inability to be sincere means that even after theyve both been told they somehow still havent gotten together??? how long is this going to take???
tsukkiyama probably ruins everyone's week the week before they get together bc one of them *saw* a confession letter stuck into the other's bag and absolutely went (emotionally) off the rails for the days leading up to them discovering it was for them.
I am fully of the camp that iwaoi start dating before they label it/make it official so the whole team is screaming like "PLEASE HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT IT" meanwhile Oikawa is saying "we just went on a few dates and kissed a few times it doesnt mean anything" and Iwa is in the background shouting "yeah I dont wanna be anyone's boyfriend that's lame" and then they wander off to go eat dinner together holding hands and the team is left in frustration because ALL they talk about is how theyre *not* in a relationship.
for bokuaka its mostly just Bokuto pestering every goddamn person he knows for like 4 months asking "do you think Akaashi likes me?" or "do you think he'd say yes if I asked him out?" and then one day making Konoha *snap* when he says "I need to tell you a secret" and the secret is that he has a crush on Akaashi as if nobody had known that
with ushiten I imagine Tendou was probably really obvious with his crush/interest but in like a very casual "not taking myself too seriously" kind of way so he's comfortable openly flirting, and Ushijima, against everyone's expectations, doesnt seem to mind the attention but is still who he is, so the whole team just has to put up with the most INSANE interactions. Like Tendou walks into the locker room and cat calls him and Ushijima just replies with a formal "thank you" and Semi is contemplating slamming his head in a locker. There's like 12 months of this.
okay okay but I think arankita is *very classic* in that Aran compensates for his crush by over-supporting Kita. so like the whole team gets super annoyed bc Aran wont risk disagreeing with him, is always offering to do extra work, is generally just sucking-up really badly and the twins suffer the most for this bc Aran used to just ignore their antics but now he's super annoyingly on them all the time to try and impress Kita
kuroken is a little different. Yaku asks Kuroo every single day if he's asked Kenma out yet. Lev asks Kenma if he has a crush on Kuroo every chance he gets. Fukunaga gives them a wink when they leave practice to walk home together. This is the only pairing in which the team is the irritant pre-relationship and then post-relationship everyone loses interest and moves on.
I'd include kagehina but once again the entire goddamn show is everyone putting up with them flirting so whats the point.

Please, tell us (me) more about your pinecest x paz thoughts / timeline. Are pinecest together before they realize they’re into Pacifica? Does one of the twins date Paz and accidentally groan the other twin name instead of her’s during intimacy? Do one of the twins become selfless and try to push the other twin to date Paz — because they know deep down they’re hopelessly in love with both their twin and Paz?
rubs my hands together like a fly
SO.... honestly in my head i think for them, pacifica crushes on the twins for a loooong time. on both of them. she goes through phases thinking she's straight, then a lesbian, then realizing wow i like them both at the same time. then she hates herself for being "weird" about it. i like to think she's straight up bi but has internalized homophobia cause of her parents
i like to think the twins are weirdly codependent and in love in that way, and while they teeeechnically know its not "healthy" they could Not Care Less, because theyre happy being themselves with eachother (and have bad influences COUGH THE STANS). their relationship is ambiguously Undefined they just know they do everything together. including being romantic
pacifica over the years becomes a staple at the mystery shack. maybe she even takes wendy's place as cashier when wendy eventually goes to college. she goes from being overly formal with everyone (mr. pines, mr. pines 2, mr. ramirez, etc) to being semi casual (mr. stan, mr. ford, mr. soos,) to just being straight up casual. hell she's let a couple "grunkle stans" slip out. she's just another part of the group that hang around the shack and she gets super close to dipper and mabel which doesnt help her crushes
i like to think that at some point pacifica breaks and admits she likes them. maybe she phrases it "i like you!!! and more than just a friend!!" to both dipper and mabel who stare at her and then are like "did. did you mean that for me or for -" and pacifica is like "i meant both of you!!!" . she'd probably run off in embarrassment after that too leaving mabel and dipper to talk about what to do now and how they both feel about pacifica
i love the angst potential of one of the twins trying to be Selfless and stay away so the other can be with pacifica, but in my head theyd only get into dating around 17 and at that point the twins already know theyre weird with eachother and are totally chill with it
honestly IDK how pacifica would react to learning that dipper and mabel are romantical together and that they also both like her back. apart of me thinks she'd be grossed out but come around or she'd just be like "oh well im an only child so i dont really get it. must be different for twins i guess!" and she doubles down on that viewpoint after realizing the stans are the same LMFAOAOAOOA. the idea that the pines family tree is just a circle is really funny to me and pacifica gets roped into it (gladly) LOLOL
#pinescest + paz#HEHEHEHEHEHE thank you for giving me the excuse to ramble .... teehee.... hehehehee...

bear with me here bc this is a semi long one? a few weeks ago (i meant to send it then too but was intimidated) a friend and i were talking and had Thoughts as to how the Bad Kids would text- and so i kinda wanted to say our takes and see yours.
also i am so sorry bc this was longer than i meant it to be.
Adaine (Freshman year) uses proper grammar and punctuation. her texts would be the most like reading a formal paper. no typos (or next to none), point succinct, and one message. also no slang or contractions, at least at first. Junior year? not much has changed, but she uses some emojis and abbreviations. in her crystal, all the gang is their name and maybe an emoji to represent them. her texts are all typed out in the messages app, especially long ones. she Knows what shes saying- although there is definitely a lot of editing bc anxiety be like that
Fabian? he used all the text slang, minimal punctuation. especially in freshman year, he wanted to be seen as cool and, in some ways, tough. come junior year? he Knows he's cool- hes the maximum legend. minimal typos (intentional ones Not included), Everyone is a nickname (he'd never admit it, but Riz is *not* in as "The Ball", hes in as "The Ball (🕵️♂️🔍🏀)", or some other combination of emojis with it). Punctuation? optional. *hates* double texting, but also doesn't go back and edit his messages as he writes them so sometimes theyre a little out of order.
Fig? her messages are often chaos. a few more typos, will send different thoughts as messages. uses some slang, but not always (it depends on her mood). the rest of the gang is under some sort of nickname/initials/hyper specific reference that most wont understand. some are fully just emoji combos. Will use emojis regularly, will use slang, doesn't care if she makes typos. long messages are done in her notes app, and the app is definetly passcode protected (except its the date of her first kiss with Ayda so its easy to guess). punctuation? nah. capitalization? rarely
Gorgug? doesn't use capitalization, but does use punctuation. changes how he types when talking to TBK or his parents. a few typos, but hes probably got autocorrect on so most don't slip through. tends to get his thoughts out in minimal messages. his friemds are in as their names, nothing special. some text slang, some emojis, but not often.
Kristen? if you think Fig's style is a mess, Kristen's is worse. Her friends are all under nicknames and emojis, her messages filled with typos, autocorrect and auto capitalization are off, and she rarely uses punctuation. will double text, her sentences are run ons, she over uses emojis, and she over uses text slang.
Riz? his texting depends on what he's doing. working a case? likely to have a few more typos or words that don't have spaces between them. will shorten words so less focus is off the case. when he isn't busy, will send a whole essay if he's asking a simple question. autocorrect is off because it annoys him and kept saying his name was wrong, but his crystal does automatically capitalize words. his friends are in as nicknames plus a couple emojis to identity them quickly. doesn't use emojis often, at least when texting, but will often react with them instead of responding.
Adaine is for sure the bad kid that has the most impeccable grammar when texting. Its almost like she's writing a formal letter, though she does chill out a bit after sophomore year and starts typing more casually. At the very least she stops beginning her texts with 'To *name*' and ending them with 'Regards, Adaine Abernant'.
Fabian would be almost as bad as Adaine, have you heard the man talk? Though he does sometimes not bother with the grammar and spelling if he's tired. Frequently uses emojis. Sends pictures CONSTANTLY.
Riz is a multiple texter. He needs to get the thoughts out of his brain NOW and he'll be damned if he's going to properly format those texts. Fabian has to suffer through this the most and sometimes he'll get about 20 texts in rapid succession as Riz infodumps on him as quickly as possible. Has the small issue that if he's tired he'll forget the common words for things and Fabian gets a horrible mishmash of thoughts that are half ghukliak spelled out phonetically (because of course his crystal doesnt have a goblin keyboard setting) and completely incomprehensible. It's more likely to happen at 3am and the ONLY way you should respond to these texts is 'go to bed' or you'll get 50 more.
Gorgug is the most normal out of everyone. Just texts like a regular guy. Will sometimes multi-text but its not excessive. His messages are at least understandable.
Fig is almost as bad as Riz with the multi-texting. Could vibrate your crystal right off the table if she's in a mood. Texts flip between pictures and messages constantly. Punctuation and spelling are an afterthought.
Kristen will read a text message, make a note to reply to it later then forget about it. If you need an immediate answer from her about anything you're better off calling.
#fantasy high#riz gukgak#fabian seacaster#bad kids#fig faeth#gorgug thistlespring#adaine abernant#kristen applebees

Can I request some headcanons for Shika's s/o meeting his parents for the first time or vice versa, Shika meeting his s/o's parents? Whatever you prefer to write ����
Of course!! I love this💕💕 -🦎
===============================
Literally overthinks everything. This is terrifying. Meeting your family, thats a whole new step. And they have to love him.
He freaks out beforehand. Showers like 5 times, spends 20 minutes doing his hair, dumps his whole closet on the bed looking for an outfit.
"WHY DO I NOT OWN A SINGLE SEMI-CASUAL, FORMAL, DECENT COLORED OUTFIT, WHAT THE HELL??"
Sweats profusely as he shakes your dads hand and cringes at the sight of the casual *brushing off your hand sweat on my pants*
Sits down and is eerily quiet. One word answers only. He's so nervous his brain stops working
But then your dad brings up shogi, and theyre off on a tangent of "climbing silver" this and "the real king" that.
Its adorable, he relaxes immediately and you and your mom smile knowing over sips of wine
He wins your mom over as soon as he starts discussing kids as the king. Its so sweet, and she loves how passionate he is about children and you.
After dinner he becomes nervous again, asking you over and over if they liked you, if he did well, etc etc
You just kiss him and reassure him he did great
You melt when your mom invites him over next week to look at baby pictures. He jumped up and started laughing like crazy, finally realizing that they loved him. It was so pure, you turned into a puddle

hi everybody !! ( hi dr nick! ) im ARI, pst, she/they pronouns ( your pick go wild ), and boy do i love murder :)) i bring 2 u my mixed up ghost of a son, JOHN “JD” DOE !! i understand his bio is basically a novella, so the TL;DR is that he was raised in captivity by a serial killer, and when said serial killer was caught he just kinda,,, wandered the streets? he’s only really been participating in the world for like three years, so in a lot of ways he is like a small child. a small child who really likes playing w dead bodies. ( istg this all makes some kind of sense in long form sigh ) anyway,,,, if you did read the bio and youre like ‘that was great but how do i give even MORE of my valuable time to this stranger?’, you can find some headcanons under the cut !! ( i mean, youre also free to read them if you didnt read the bio ofc, but i cant guarantee they’ll make sense ok ) OH HEY you know what else you’ll find under the cut ?? some vague ideas for connections. yeah. sexy stuff like that. in a group this size i generally prefer to establish our charas dynamic before jumping into threads, so if you see something you like, let ya boi know !! otherwise hop in my DMs or ill hop in yours and we’ll work something out, it’ll be great. OKAY i’ll stop rambling now enjoy the stuff kids !!
headcanons —
JD always eats quickly and desperately, like it might be the last food he gets for days
also hell eat like, anything. catch him scraping mold off bread and then eating it.
he has a dog, some kind of rottweiler mutt, that he picked up on his travels. his name is dog. JD sometimes feeds him human meat.
he loves fire!!! so much ok hed probs marry it if he could if theres a fire anywhere in the vicinity he either lit it or is looking for it so he can feed it
aside from some unwanted touching from random sketchy hippie-types, JD is a virgin
he feels sexual attraction occasionally, but he mostly associates sex with violence, and stays away from it for that reason. he’s pretty sure that he’s never felt romantic attraction, but he kinda hopes he will someday
he feels more comfortable with women than men, but is conditioned to do just about anything a man tells him to do
that said, gender seems rather trivial to him, in the sense of both attraction and identity. if he lived in a more enlightened time, he would identify as agender.
he is somehow both the most innocent and the most disturbed boy you will ever meet. its an unsettling combo.
hes so curious about everything. seriously. hes basically only been in the world for like 3 years ok theres SO much he doesnt know and he wants to LEARN
especially curious about families and hometowns and human relationships bc that shits all like, bizarre and surreal to him lol
will hover silently around you until you directly address him or tell him to stop, and maybe even after that
catch him crossing boundaries constantly (figurative and physical, hes just as likely to ask you if your mother loved you cause it seems like probs not as to play with your hair without permission)
hell apologize like crazy if you call him on it tho, he just literally has no sense of like, how human interaction is supposed to work
like hes faked it ok-ish for the last few years but only because he mostly keeps his mouth shut and moves around a lot yknow? hes self aware enough to know he’s not human-ing right, but not self aware enough to actually learn how to human right
hes basically illiterate :( he never had any formal schooling and pretty much everything he knows about letters and numbers he learned from sesame street. if he tries really hard he can decipher basic things like street signs and menus to some degree, but most of the time he just fakes it
hes an open book in that hell answer just about any question truthfully (at least within the club) and will sometimes casually spout some very personal, truly disturbing shit like its nothing, but hes not the type to ever just bare his soul, and its doubtful anyone in the club knows his whole story
for him, killing is less about the actual act, and more about the access to a body. he loves exploring. he plays with his food, so to speak.
he has a complicated relationship with killing in general, due mostly to his mixed feelings about hank. he doesnt want to be like hank, but he also feels a bloodlust that he cant deny. he thinks about killing most people that he interacts with, but he suppresses the urges as best he can. when he does kill, its in an almost disassociative state- his usually careful demeanor becomes delirious and vicious.
connection ideas —
( note: many of these could overlap, or be filled by multiple people )
the person who introduced him to the kill club !! probably someone drifter-y or sketchy who would swim in the same semi-homeless circles he does. ie. knows him from that spot under the bridge where kids get stoned or that abandoned strip mall with all the mattresses and burned-out oil drums in it or some place like that. my son doesnt really fuck with institutions.
someone whose couch he crashes on currently/occasionally. could be anyone who doesnt mind a hover-y waif of a boy and a big growl-y dog in their space (or,,,, come to think of it, someone who DOES mind,,,)
which is a prefect segue to: someone who hates this kid. in my totally biased opinion, hes crazy lovable, but maybe your character doesnt like being asked a ton of personal questions? maybe they just find it creepy how he hovers around everyone? maybe theyre unsettled by how his eyes go all black like an excited cat when he gets to play with someones innards? maybe they knew one of them women he helped hank kidnap/murder???? idk man the skys the limit
on the other hand, how about someone who takes on a parental/big sibling type role? someone who disregards all the fucked up shit about him and just sees a lost and confused little boy who so desperately needs someone to take care of him and teach him stuff
a best friend???? hes never really had any friends at all so idk how this would go down but its worth a shot????
someone who,, kind of takes up the mantle that hank left empty? a manipulator who sees JD as the well-conditioned beta bitch that he is and uses him for their own gain
uhhhhh maybe someone he somehow knew before the kill club and is shocked to find there?? they probably wouldnt be as shocked tho he has a certain ~vibe about him lol
idk i think thats all ive got for now but im super open to other ideas hmu yo god bless

Visualisations
Kapiti
Where:
Inner city location. Surrounded by lush apartments and boutiques, Early evening/night
Its the afternoon and I'm waiting at the front of my house slept in until 11
Outside house, 11:30, devonport
Waiting on Cuba Street, Midday
On a farm – a good day
At home in wellington, early morning, busy day
Transport:
a luxury black car or a vintage car. The condition would be very good, freshly washed/waxed. Maybe it would have a decal of the Kapiti mountains.
the vehicle is one of those VW hippie vans in mint condition, white and baby-blue, picking me up from my doorstep.
Big black van, fruit all over it it’s colourful, good condition, time into the vehicle, pimped, fancy
An old fashioned/vintage bus. Expensive looking with a black exterior and a colourful interior
A white van (school sports van vibes), good condition
Mini bus, branded with kapiti, doing the rounds for the factory tours, very clean, mosylt black with ice cream on the side
People:
A driver in a high end suit or outfit. My close friends are in the car too, all dressed up for an event.
A happy man who is well-versed in the ways of Kapiti ice cream but isn't asking me annoying questions about myself, is driving and giving us fun ice cream facts.
There are 3 other people. The chauffeur is wearing a hat.
Other people, driver is a steve jobs type, turtle neck and glasses, knows a lot about ice-cream, fancy
Well dressed driver, people on the bus are dressed semi casual/formal. Dresses and nice jeans. Excited to be on the bus. Murmur of excitement/anticipation
Other people are here, middle aged very attrative man. Friendly, welcoming
Journey:
the journey is smooth, cruising away from the city and I can see the Kapiti coast in the distance.
We travel for a while chatting among ourselves, we appear to be leaving the city and going into the country.
Drive to taupo, tall trees, hills, windy roads, green, nz, new place but its familiar,
We take a long relaxed trip on the busy passing through beautiful NZ landscapes and heading towards the Kapiti Coast.
Drive through the countryside, grass, cows, ducklings and then a few quaint gift stores
Through wellington, along the waterfront, nice day
Destination:
a high end winery/vineyard space with the Kapiti hill in the background. Luxury items are around and bowls/plates on display with fresh ingredients of the ice cream. Waiters are going around serving small tasters of the ice cream in tubs or on the stick.
We are arriving at a beach resort - There are tables with umbrellas, we are at a gorgeous beach with shady trees, golden sand and clear blue water. There are a few people but not too many. There is an excited expectant buzz in the air.D
We arrive at a cute restaurant-type place, it's sheltered from NZ wind but still has a view (maybe glass windows? unsure) possibly of the sea. Lots of grass, and classy Kiwiana stuff, lots of cream and berry tones. There are about 10 people per tour (max I can handle)
Middle of a forest, open area with big industrial eco house, wood panelling big glass windows and doors, corrugated panels, old container but fancier and bigger, rich wood colour, More steve job type people, try samples, stations inside to make your own packaging and your own flavours, science experiment.
Ice cream factory/showroom. A modern stylish architecturally designed building in a beautiful piece of land in the Kapiti Coast.
A factory, there are lots of people, workers, families etc. It does not feel good to be here, because there are cows being milked, don’t really know what else is going on, people making some cheese, people walking around
Big factory, huge branding, cars, welcoming and exciting
Activity:
a social activity mingling with other friends and people. Trying all the flavours and enjoying the warm spring/summer evening. A person with a big smile and an apron with the Kapiti logo approaches. We are about to have the new Kapiti flavour, in fact we are going to spend the rest of the day sampling all the Kapiti flavours. A warm happy feeling fills me. Walks on the beach and rests in the shade with as much delicious Kapiti ice cream as we can eat. Heaven
We get to see how ice cream is made, how the machinery works, what it does, why they take certain steps, the history (who created it? How has the company expanded since then? How has the recipe/procedure changed since then?), and ice cream testers.
Fancy, formal people, normal people, families and students and yo-pros, elderly people, couples, testing the ice-cream, movie playing, feel interest and interaction, formality of the people is intimidating, stand around if you don’t know people, would prefer to talk to the people that don’t work there. More casual steve jobs, a girl, three years older than me, go inside and make some new flavour combos, big station, feel excited that sounds fun.
Create your own taste experience with Kapiti. Staff guide us through the process of making the ice cream and we create our own with fresh topping and flavours. The staff are well dressed, if slightly hipster.
a woman approaches, friendly, about to show us around the farm
Theyre making the ice cream. No offices. There is a classroom for school tours. Heaps of glass and we can see them working
Someone approaches you:
It’s the tour guide, also young, attractive, welcoming, very knowledgeable
Something happens:
The tour! And we all get free ice cream!
