i think perhaps another layer of autism in jacks character is that he’s fine with being different, but is always upset to be treated or perceived differently.

i genuinely do think that looking at the characters in homestuck through the lens of them being autistic is pretty important to do even if it obviously wasn’t intentional (except for nepeta at least) bc like. every character in homestuck takes some inspiration from early internet users. and a lot of early online spaces were absolutely disproportionately autistic. obviously not all, there were mainstream spaces, but it was a much less centralised place and had tons of mini communities made up of people intensely passionate about one thing which is a community structure that’s extremely welcoming to autistic people (comparatively- there was still constant ableism but that was true Everywhere in the mid to late 00s). and like all of the characters are based more on the types of people you’d find in those micro communities than on myspace. the Actual People who those archetypes were based on were disproportionately autistic and that absolutely carries over into how they’re written in homestuck, even though it’s unintentional. it isn’t helpful in every scenario and character obviously but like, i do think the fact that they’re based on online archetypes of what we’d call now terminally online micro community users and that a lot of those irl people were autistic bc in the early days of the internet being terminally online was actually extremely difficult instead of being the default- this was changing a bit around the time homestuck began, but the archetypes the kids and trolls are based on almost all date back to before then (the main exception being Some of the beforus trolls)- is something that can be useful to think about. it’s not an intentional thing, but it’s kind of an inevitable thing when you’re basing characters on 2005 power user stereotypes on gaming forums.

just found out that my boss’s boss, who responded to a situation where i was harassed by a coworker for a month for being autistic by telling me to “do some soul searching,” is LEAVING MY PARK!!!!!!

my boss broke this news to me by saying “not to ruin your night, but…” as if it wouldn’t be the best news i had received in months.

I know there are many bad takes about Gale on this site, but the worst takes I’ve seen on another social media site in another language are much more abhorrent than anything here tbh, the recent one I’ve seen even gets some popularity among his “fans”... They were basically saying it’s Mystra who made him the humble man he is now, without her influence on him he would be as egotistical as in his god ending, and more than a hundred of reblogs are all thanking Mystra for “training her lapdog so well” for them🤢

Did we even play the same game? Isn’t his god ending a direct result of Mystra making him think he will never be enough as he is, and he can only find his self-worth through gaining more power? Didn’t Tara say he’s not himself anymore and she would no longer be his companion in his god ending, she knew him long before Mystra made him her chosen, he was powerful enough before his relationship with Mystra, if he’s anything like god!Gale at the time wouldn’t Tara just leave him? I’d imagine he would have been more confident and had a more stable self-image if Mystra had never contacted him, therefore he didn’t even need the Gale of Waterdeep persona. He would always have been Gale Dekarios in that timeline. And people glorifying Mystra’s grooming and abuse towards him and unironically calling him “her lapdog” is just... I have no words. But what do you expect from an online space that’s infested with terfs and radfems? They just won’t recognize or acknowledge any abuse from women towards men...

joining an older fandom actually is the best because you know the only people who are still sticking around have a fervour for their favourite media similar to that of a 15th century monk pacing a cloister in attempt to recreate pilgrimage. they’re more than happy to get weird about it with you.
