i hate seeing people hate on bro…like i get why. he was awful in canon, and im sure worse in some other peoples timelines. he’s really important to me and in my timeline he wasn’t the best parental figure, but he was a good older brother. he took care of me and dave best he can. i really miss him and dave, but most of the content about bro is either about how awful he was or thirsting over him. and those things are fine, but not about *my* bro. - lil cal strider

Cal winds up being a very plot important character later on and Bro'll come back a bit later in a way :)

Ah... excellent. I will continue reading. As a Bro Strider kin, it felt like I was dying seeing him dead on the screen. Obviously somewhat traumatic, heh. But knowing that I will come back from the dead heals me slightly.

Hi, my name is Ripley/Jaws!

As it says in the bio, I'm 25, a she/it, and a researcher!

I'm relatively new to kinning, but this is my kin/research blog. Currently I'm setting out to work on an independent research project on otherkin community online, particularly focusing on fictkin, and particularly focusing on trans identity in relation to fictkin identity. This is a project using ethnographic methods, so my purpose here is to immerse myself in the practice and community surrounding kinning.

This project is entirely independent. While I did do a bachelor's in cultural anthropology at the University of Florida (you can find my previous work here) I want to continue my research outside of the bounds of the academy, as I believe strongly in the potential of grassroots academic work.

In the long term, I intend to write a paper based on my work here, see if/where I can get it published (though I'll definitely be publishing it here for all to see). I might make a video essay version of the project, but we'll see. Anyone who is interviewed or otherwise involved in the project will have their identity obscured in any published material.

I'm also a long time tumblr user, and you can find my main @jawslightning. I've had it since I was 13 so it ain't exactly pretty if you go back far enough. That being said, this blog will be dedicated to this project, as well as my own personal kin-related exploration and growth. I'll be posting updates on my work, maintaining a reading list, trying to make friends, and probably sharing art and stuff related to characters I kin.

I kin:

Characters: davepetasprite^2(hs), Roxy Lalonde(hs), Rose Lalonde(hs), Jade Harley(hs), Spinel(su), Cal Strider(gs), Double Trouble(spop)

Entities/Creatures: robotkin, insectkin, wormkin

Please reach out with any questions! Any answers! If you'd like to be interviewed for the project! Or if you just wanna be friends!

Also, I am fine with doubles, and I don't have a DNI because my goal is to interact!

likes do not equate endorsement

Homestuck No Game AU: Canon-Imitation Universe: Stridlondes

This is both a comprehensive backstory to potential fics and the barebones of two aus, Stridlonde focused because they fit the style of fan content I like

Harleyberts and all here

I got everyone from both timelines in! I think! I also made charts!

The Guardian versions of the kids are in black bubbles, and everyone else is in gray bubbles. The horizontal lines each mark a year and the higher up the person is the earlier they were born. The numbers are the age differences between characters

Alpha Dave And Alpha Rose treat each other like siblings but are not biologically related. Their childhoods are as ambiguous here as in the web novel

Alpha Dave has a fling with someone and a baby (Beta Dirk) is dropped on his doorstep 9 months later. He is not prepared for parenthood. Raises him as best he can but does not properly guide him nor create a child-friendly environment. Generally immature parenting style with a bit of too little too late on the side. Maybe some conflicting needed accommodations and a mutual lack of understanding. He and Beta Dirk have a blow-up fight when Beta Dirk is around 17-19 and cut contact.

Beta Dirk moves in with his bad-influence acquaintance, Lil Cal, who might be Caliborn. He's basically living the same lifestyle we see in canon but with additional social-influenced self-destruction behaviors

Alpha Dave has another fling, possibly with the same person because it's funny that way, and gets another baby (Alpha Dirk) dropped on his doorstep. This time he actually reads the parenting books and is fully wanting to raise the heck out of this kid, including a binder/computer drive full of notes for things to do/say at different life stages

At the same time, Alpha Rose is in a long-term lesbian relationship and they decide to have a kid (Alpha Roxy). The method is up to interpretation

About 2.25 years after the Alpha Stridlondes are born, Beta Dirk and Alpha Rose's younger sister (Beta Roxy) have the most unfortunate one-night stand between a probably gay man and his female close family friend ever known. It was so awful and morally awkward they decide to split up the resulting twins by gender and pretend the other parent doesn't exist. Canon-typical shitty parenting ensues due to their respective issues. Everyone be grateful that the kids don't have to deal with an attempt at co-parenting from these two

Next comes the drama. When the Alpha kids are around 5 (could be older, could be younger and the story would still work), the Alpha Dave and Rose and Rose's wife die tragically, probably in a plane crash. Dirk and Roxy are home with an older neighbor. Dirk is put in the custody of his next of kin while Roxy is adopted by said neighbor with an agreement and financial support from Beta Roxy and the wife's family

Preschool-aged Dirk sees toddler Dave and decides that's his squishy now. They bond in a very Strider fashion. Around 3-5 years later somebody calls CPS on Beta Dirk and a lack of evidence that Dave is also being mistreated ends with Dirk being removed from his custody while Dave remains. Dirk spends his childhood "raising himself" using Alpha Dave's notes and refusing/not knowing how to connect to any new family. He befriends Roxy and though her meets Rose and Beta Roxy when he's 16 and is finally convinced to visit her. He is either recognized by Beta Roxy or sees a picture of the Alpha guardians and manages to figure out Beta Roxy is Dave's biomom, and therefore a potential legal guardian for Dave. The master plan unfolds from here

Option 1:

Dirk plans to frame Beta Dirk for (hopefully attempted) murder or another crime with a suitably long punishment. All the kids are in on it and help in some sense or another, except for Dave whose role is pretty much "get out of there".

Cue a tension-filled road trip from hell which could involve Dave having to choose between allowing Beta Dirk to be caught actually committing the crime Dirk tried to frame him for and going with Kid Dirk or going back with Beta Dirk and facing whatever consequences arise

Could be angsty, could be an opportunity for Dave to take initiative regarding his feelings towards Beta Dirk and living by and developing his personal philosophies early on in life by forcing him to take active part in making his fate

Option 2:

In this one, Dave is the one who's baited. I watched a video summarizing all the crazy stories about people claiming they wrote My Immortal. One of these involved a woman claiming she wrote it to try and get famous in order to get in contact with her brother who was separated from her by foster care.

Turns out she lied about nearly everything, but imagine she only lied about half of it. Dirk sets up Roxy to fake having written an infamous fanfic. Rose is helping her sell it by coaching her on writing style and edgy fandom culture.

Once it blows up into a giant meme/event, they say they're looking for a 13-year-old boy. Dirk starts feeding out stories and personal info about Dave without mentioning his name or relation to get his attention. They announce a competition. Finish these stories or phrases correctly to prove you're the guy or just share your name if you think you might be him. Either Hal exists or Roxy writes a program to sort all the responses. They receive the longest, most unnecessarily long tirade that not only answers correctly but also goes on about his unrelated thoughts for 2 extra pages.

"It's him," says Dirk, a single manly tear running down his cheek. They all introduce themselves through pester chum and convince Dave to create trickily specific photos and video diaries around the apartment to "prove it's really him". They then send him plane tickets to John's house, where they claim to live, so as to not raise suspicion that this isn't a dumb internet gimmick Dave won.

The moment Dave lands they spring a custody battle on Alpha Dirk using all the evidence Dave collected of how unsafe the apartment and living conditions are, alongside evidence of the giant mansion and steady job Beta Roxy has. That Alpha Dirk already had one kid removed from his care helps their cause. It's over disappointingly quickly

F.A.Q.

Q: Who're you? A: I'm Cal. Autistic, transfem, Homestuck fan, other fandoms fan. I've been writing for a good eight years and have been intermittently drawing for longer. I'm a better writer, though.

Q: What can we expect from your blog? A: Fan content: fic, art, meta posting. I'll keep reblogs to a minimum/topical. Primarily HS content, though.

Q: How can I reach you? A: My main is @g0ji, Ao3 is @Synstylae. That's where I'll be following from.

Q: BYF criteria? A: HS post-canon critical, June Egbert, Vriska sucks. If you disagree with these, feel free to follow me anyway, it's just text informing you of my opinions.

Q: Can I ask you relatively minor things as we delve deeper into this rabbit hole of questioning? A: Sure, it'll go below the cut that's beneath us.

Q: Favorite HS characters? A: Rose, Dirk, Terezi, Jade, Davepetasprite^2 in no particular order.

Q: Favorite flush ships? A: Rosemary (lol), Junesprose, Jaderezi

Q: Do you kin Rose Lalonde? A: Would you like me to.

Q: How can anybody have asked you these questions if you had zero followers when you made it? A: It's a hypothetical person who makes it more fun to talk about myself than baseless talking into the void.

Q: But you are talking into the void, you've just made a dialogue partner to make it more interesting to read, didn't you? A: Yes.

Q: That seems masturbatory. A: It is.

Q: Do you kin Dirk Strider? A: Would you like me to.
