i don’t know if this is known but caliborn is also one of my favorite homestuck characters. i just don’t draw him nearly enough.

i like to imagine it was like inside out in there

Holy shit I love your Dirk interpretations, it's so true and I could talk about this shit forever. I feel like another part of his character that people seem to forget (along with Roxy for some reason) is that he's from the future in solitude in an apocalyptic wasteland. I just see that part of his character always removed which is disappointing because I feel like that's a pretty big part, especially regarding his themes around technology, his brother's theme of Time, his own isolation, and how he plays in the vastness of the universe and spacetime.

Art I drew related to the subject because I like to respond to asks with art.

But absolutely. I certainly understand where the lack of discussion over his isolation + upbringing comes from, considering a majority of the fanbase that I have seen builds their ideas based on their own version of postcanon. I’m not entirely sure how that would be fixed, but certainly even in the somewhat recent past I would see a lot more content regarding his upbringing both literally and symbolically. I don’t have much to add regarding the things you’ve mentioned, because they just are what they are. Dirk being confined to a singular room left to him by a father figure he never met, in a future where the only other person left on the planet is someone he cannot pursue a relationship of because of himself, with purely 3 robots to keep him companion, one being an exact replica of his own brain who is *also* trapped inside a pair of glasses, is about as literal as it gets to me.

The contrast to me involving the flooded, organic world in comparison to the little speckle of Dirk’s apartment packed with the dude and his technics is not only a representation of his isolation and entrapment within himself, but also of his lack of control. I think his obsession with & themes of control are a direct product in the case of Dirk specifically *of* this kind of upbringing. His themes of technology are also related to his themes around control. So much of his character is actually revolved around this to me like so much. Dirk is so deeply disconnected from humanity in every way and so much of his character + symbolism is based around that.

It doesn’t even have to be about the symbolism or anything though. It’s just pretty *interesting* in the literal sense that he lives in the middle of the ocean in the future. There’s not only a lot to theorise on to do with his young life there, but on how it might affect him in the way he acts for the rest of his life. The latter part is probably what I see mentioned the most by people talking about Dirk regarding this, I’m surprised I don’t see more discussion on the former too though. I really ought to actually talk more about Homestuck stuff on here. I will do it myself.

Roxy & Dirk’s relationship is largely ignored though because there is a narrative a certain demographic spreads that Dirk resented and blamed Roxy for her interest in him, and thus too many people believe that their relationship was or would continue to be an abusive one. Realistically, I believe it’s important to acknowledge that the way Roxy treated Dirk regarding his homosexuality wasn’t right while still acknowledging the obvious amount of respect and admiration Dirk had for Roxy. I mean we have a huge piece of dialogue from their post trickster mode conversations on the quest beds from Dirk purely stating how he feels about Roxy that people completely ignore somehow. I think this usually happens to characters that are women though. I know everyone says it, but it is true. Jane gets the exact same treatment of boiling her down to solely her negative aspects. The things I see completely mischaracterising both of them are horrific.

I mean how much more explicit can it get that their relationship is obviously very important to Dirk? But I digress. I think the best or I should say “most interesting” interpretations of their relationship usually come from DirkRoxy shippers actually.

I would be interested to hear about Dirk’s relation to his brother’s theme of time though. I don’t have any thoughts on this and I don’t recall ever hearing anyone talk about it before. If you or anyone else would be willing to enlighten me I’d be thrilled.

hello peoples since im still doing last thingy i wanted to post days 1-30 of homestuck spooktober thingy!!!! enjoy looking at it?? i guess??

[mars-gallavanger]

This is an alternate design I made for Lord English, based on the idea of what he could have been, that was more based around the Felt.

The idea is that he exists in all states of time at once, and I guess the immediate area around him also follows suit. The other thing I thought was cool was that Eggs' and Biscuits' jujus had weapon object duality, and could become a cool tommy gun for English.

[superxstarzz]

lord of radiance perhaps? I think your lord redesign would look really cool in that palette and also i kind of imagine this classpect as someone very showy, to the point of using their abilities to literally outshine the sun, but i'm curious how you'd interpret it

oooooh I love that interpretation of it!!! Honestly, I think the lord of radiance could like. rewrite the universe if they really wanted to. madoka kaname type shit yk?? though, that may be more in line with gospel (hopespace)... ahsjsjsb idk I don't think about lord powers too much XP

anyone remember the part in homestuck when caliborn and gamzee and hal and equius combine into lord english and it gets really weird and like psychological

and it’s a retelling of the timeline through the combined perspectives of all LE’s components and it’s all surreal and stuff

i think that would be fun to read at least

anyway, i wanted to practice hero mode. i might draw caliborn and hal later.
