#rose is hiding elsewhere as she and john are the only kids who experienced snow before the game#and an upper ny snow is NOT something you wander into without the proper protection

i was looking at those old style postcards (you know the ones) and i thought... what if the homestuck lands had a version of them? i was gonna do something scenic but it ended up being jade throwing a snowball at dave's head, oh well

since you are clearly a harley appreciator. jade headcanons!!

alrighty >:]

A (realistic HC): pretty basic, she has adhd (inattentive type) am I projecting? yes. are the signs there? yes

B (something I find funny): at some point off screen she absolutely rp-ed warrior cats with nepeta. alternatively if she lived in a normal environment she would totally be the the leader of the "wolf pack" on the playground in 3rd grade

C (something heart crushing): in her post-scratch form as a result of the whole space thing that never properly manifested, she generally failed to recognize how minor things effect others and herself because she fails to see the small picture and gets lost in the macro scale, which is both inwardly and outwardly destructive to herself and everyone else. this is also related in part to what she suffered through @ crocker corp.

D (screw canon this is swag): the rest of the group manages to finally get her into non-sburb video games and they all play together and it's swaggy (on her wiki, the fact that she doesn't game is a big enough thing to actually be mentioned explicitly)

thank you for the ask and yes I am absolutely a jade harley appreciator. I believe in jade supremacy

#jade is one of the saddest characters in hs for this reason#she thought she was prepared#she thought she had everything all figured out and the game might be hard but theyd all play *together*#and then it all comes crashing down that skaia and sburb have tricked her just like theyve done to countless others before her#shes figuring out that having a destiny isnt always a good thing no matter how you try to spin the story#and it sucks that for a good portion of the game she ends up being completely alone again save for the day she died and came back a god#and got to see her friends for that brief moment in time#things about the retcon that still hurt me to think about: the timeline *wants* her to be alone to serve some grander purpose#and right at the very end of that long lonely journey when shes just about to reunite with everyone again#she gets fuckin crocker cracked and doesnt even get to say hi to everyone as herself until the final battle is over#yet somehow she still came out of it all smiling#[slaps the roof of this wibbly wobbly space machine doggirl] this baby can fit soooo much repressed trauma in her (prev tags)

this fcks with me so much. i'm thinking about how after cascade jade offered to teleport john to the meteor so he could travel with the others, and he said no because he didn't want her to be lonely. and then in the retcon timeline john just dies because his planet exploded and she's alone for three years because davesprite fucks off. and then there's retcon john but he's not the same john. jade's one of the people most accepting of othertime selves, she even dates davesprite, so she might just accept this john as john, but in the end her journey had no john, no dave, no rose. and she might even not be able to befriend jasprose because of the dog/cat thing like she couldn't stop herself from barking at jaspersprite. that makes nannaquinsprite pretty much the only non-consort person she had for company for all her journey. and unlike the meteor, the ship didn't go through dreambubbles so she didn't even have random trolls for enrichment

this sequence of pages in act 5 is so striking to me.

in acts 1-4, jade is a mysterious, all-knowing figure who knows about sburb and how it needs to go, and shes very systematic about logging and remembering important things through the little bands on her fingers. even though shes just some goofy little girl, shes smart!! she knows whats going on and knows what she has to do, and shes been studying the clouds to make sure that she and her friends are ready. because honestly, what else is she going to do with her time? she's alone on the island, and this is her destiny. she's going to make sure it happens.

here, we're finally seeing a bit of her friendly and put together self image start to fall apart as she just gives up on keeping track of things. she's grieving the loss of prospit, shes just had her first ever nightmare, AND she had to deal with an obnoxious teenage boy (karkat), and she's reached her breaking point. and she just. gives up. forget the reminders, forget the systems, they aren't serving her right now, so off they go.

plus, we get this tidbit a few pages later:

jade always knew she was going to die. she had seen herself, stuffed and perfectly preserved as a thirteen-year-old. she must have known that it was coming soon, but that didn't stop her from going through the plan to play the game with her friends. personally i think she thought it was worth it if she could at least see her friends, hopefully keep them safe, and have some fun times with them right before she had to die.

i wonder if theres a part of her unsettled by the fact that she's finally faced something she didn't already know was going to happen. she no longer has the comforting clouds of skaia to tell her what's going to happen - she's as clueless as everyone else. probably MORE clueless than some characters, like the trolls, who have a window into her future that she can't see.

jade's realized that she doesn't know all of the beats of this story anymore. she might just grow up now, and that means she has to go forth into the unknown.

this is what, in the old days, they called a "glomp"

#sorry i made rose french . its how she spawned in our brain#fun fact the last name 'lalonde' means 'the grove' in french#and it borrows the 'londe' section from old norse 'lundr'#kind of neat to think about since her first name is rose Which Is A Plant#a flower in the grove. rose lalonde. hunned emoji#homestuck#incorrect homestuck quotes#incorrect quotes#mod dave

ROSE: This is problematic of me (joke), but I really enjoy the splashing of French into English speech or writing. It just adds a pizzazz.

JOHN: adds a certain... je ne sais quoi.

ROSE: ...See, the problem is that, despite around eight years of French schooling, the French language has utterly escaped my brain, so even the most obvious set-up I had created for myself by accident was missed by me. Such is life.

JADE: c'est la vie!!!

ROSE: God damn it.

DAVE: sacré bleu

#4'11 JOHN IS VERY FUNNY TO ME#ty for giving him short king status homestuck people but you really said SHORT KING. THE LITERAL SHORTEST GUY.#i also like how dirk is just. Slightly levitating.#boy what are you doing boy#get down (tags by eridude)

Opinions on the requiem height charts?

gamtav hold hands??

jokes aside im fine with them i guess? def dont align with some of my headcanons (5'3 sollux What is Going On) but i understand they were probably made with like. early 2012-2013 homestuck fandom headcanons in mind hehe

[williamjakespeare]

ok i fcking love it because i had a Mari Lwyd idea for Aradia a while ago (a friend was writing a fic and we were cheering on them) but never quite got to writing it down and then the fic progressed past the point where i felt i could give the suggestion, so getting to see her engage in it is like an old dream i've already given up on coming true. amazing <3

MERRY CRISIS @victormaxx i hope u enjoy this festive arajade for @homestuckss

aradia: has done extensive historical research into Old Earth holiday customs and has chosen a beloved winter tradition to impress and delight jade. surely she will experience nostalgia and joy at this festive display from her original iteration of earth.

jade: is not welsh. does Not know what the horse skull is for.

 hal gets along with jade really great. he becomes interested in gardening because there was never anything to grow in the water apocalypse or dead session. he’s aiming to have some planters built into the robot body so he’d have a living flower crown

guys send me ur hal headcanons

#mod terezi#that was jade and she was gonna shoot you with her decongestion gun#also unrelated but who should i cosplay in my next elden ring run?

have you done a feferi cosplay run yet?

DIRK: I sneezed 5 times in a row and people stopped saying bless you by the end of sneeze 2. After sneeze 4 I heard somebody unclip their holster.

[williamjakespeare]

#mod terezi#with dave's support this could be real but he's being a little weenie about it

Jade: i’m a firm believer that leap day should be a free day no matter what. i don’t care if it’s a thursday everything is put on pause for everyone and we all get to hang out and enjoy the extra day that only comes once ever four years. peace and love on planet earth.

#mod terezi#i wonder what the symbolism of my dream of finding a dead deer under a mile long tarp means#and when i say mile long tarp i mean it was a full mile long

the mile long tarp must have been a pain to lift to get to the dead deer. now, cutting through the tarp would allow you to get to it immediately. so i'd say it symbolises the difficulty of taking the path of preserving and peace vs just slashing your way throuh

Jade: always kind of funny when you wake up from a dream and your first thought is "that symbolism was kind of heavy-handed wasn't it."

[williamjakespeare]

#mod terezi#damn she's right#amazing how that works sometimes#i still think einsteinium is a stupid name for an element though#if i ever discovered an element i'd name it like pittsburg or something#just to add some flavor

if i ever discovered an element i'd give it a name that rhymes with orange to foster science-arts cooperation

Jade: you can't spell uranium without u and i!

#into the things i find the most most most interesting about aradia and jade and the differences between them#and how they cope with an environment that attacks their agency and like. responsibility. and resisting the established narrative. and. and#and okay TBH? yeah i drew jade in the rose bride fit. but frankly i could say some shit about EITHER of them in either role.
