[zan0tix]

Do you have thoughts about Dirk and Jake's relationship in canon? I am not anti dirkjake but I do have a hard time understanding the ship and why it's so massively popular. /gen (I have not yet read the epilogues so I'm just working off of whats in the comic)

Oh boy. DO I. Im currently working on a powerpoint presentation thatll be a little guide/recap/compilation.. thing about them whilst im reading act 6 and ill post it whenever i finish rereading the comic and writing all my notes! It will go into all the little bits of dialogue about eachother or narrative ties to certain things and such and such. (Will probably post this some time in the next two months or three. no guarantees)

But! The portrayal of their relationship and who they are and their struggles felt so real to me and it constantly astounds me that theres a fictional character who accurately displayed my own struggles in such a sincere way i feel like im getting put on blast when people psychoanalyise jake english orz

Homestucks character writing and thematic paralleling are some of its best assets and dirkjake are FULL of some of homestucks greatest moments of both. I would say that this post from @/tomatograter goes more into detail about those said moments and also alot of the other reasons i like them! And what they said in this post was true!-

-Theres just so much you can explore in homestuck through their relationship and aaaguh i love it i love it and theyre so important to the overall narrative and its just so nice to see openly gay rep that is as realistic and honest as them in a story like homestuck.

Being a teenager myself coming of age stories are the stories i relate to and find captivating the most right now and i dont think ive seen another piece of media go about its teen characters the way homestuck did. Its got problems on the handling of said characters but i dont think ive read anything else as raw and honest about personal issues teens face growing up and how they affect relationships (of all kinds!) and dirkjake are a big part of that for me!

I dont really like majority of fanon interpretations of dirkjake i wont lie (alot of.. flanderisation and blatant mischaracterisation) i dont really keep track of fandom stuff or ship popularity i just like enjoying what i enjoy and drawing things and talking about it with friends haha

And i have not read the epilogues either! i know the gist of the events in each timeline and i read a couple chapters but that was like years ago at this point and i dont think i will ever attempt to read them or homestuck^2. Some of the ideas that were present couldve been interesting but i honestly have no interest in going anywhere near it from what ive read about it. It sounds like a total shitshow and its not required to enjoy homestuck proper anyway so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

But!! if youd like to hear more about dirkjake in canon id totally reccomend tomatograter's other posts on them!!! his analysis was the thing that made me Really interested homestuck and hehe im grateful because now im here. This post has alot more of his meta commentary about them and theyre all really interesting reads :D

9 people you'd like to get to know better

tagged by @healen -- omg i am SO sorry i did not see this; I just found your tag from going through my email notifs haha. thank you though this was super fun!!

Three ships:

farcille: like ok iconic as fuck and my username so obviously i have to talk about this one first. dungeon meshi is my favorite manga ever and marcille is my favorite character and i love her relationship with falin so much ;-; i think the plot point of marcille being afraid of losing people she loves due to the difference in how she ages compared to other people is super interesting and adds a really thought-provoking and tragic aspect to their relationship. i also love the difference in their personalities that shapes their dynamic; marcille is extremely neurotic and inside of her own head and "by-the-book" and falin is very in touch with her surroundings and intuitive and accepting of disorder but they're close anyway because the things that make them different are things that they admire about each other. i looove that marcille gets jealous of other people showing falin attention and that shes insane about saving her and that she would do anything to get her back. they get married in my head after the end of the manga

jaime/brienne: i've been so into rereading asoiaf lately and this has been on my mind nonstop. the dynamic of like this super big/strong very gender nonconforming ugly woman whos internally very kind and empathetic and has one of the strongest moral compasses of anyone in the series but struggles internally with her self image and her perceived inability to "fit in" anywhere due to misogyny and general cruelty and societal prejudice over her looks and like the antihero privileged evil prettyboy who seems to have everything granted by society that brienne doesn't at the beginning of the series but goes through a dramatic character shift after losing his ability to physically fight and is not actually quite as evil as you're initially led to believe but has become disillusioned and morally dark due to contempt and judgement and expectations from people in his life is kinda unmatched like no one was doing narratives about social expectations like them. the way that both of their character arcs rely on what they learn from each other about honor and judgement and what it means to be a "true knight" is also my fave. in my head where theres a universe where asoiaf is finished they finally confess their feelings 4 each other

doctor/master: haha ok time to be cringe and post doctor who on main again. but like hear me out this ship was so iconic LIKE they are the last 2 living members of their species they're childhood friends they know each other better than anyone in the universe they've known each other for 900 years but they are doomed to be mortal enemies forever because of a fundamental difference in their respective ideologies and who they are as people. like they love each other they hate each other they have to kill each other they have to save each other its so . mwah (im doing the cheff kiss gesture rn) my only criticism of it is that there's never been a f/f iteration of it that could definitely exist it's just that the dw writers hate women so it hasn't happened in the like 60 years of this show running but it exists in my mind

First ever ship: rosemary from homestuck 😭 i think they were the first pairing that i ever looked up fanfiction for when i was but a child. i still love them btw and they're still my favorite homestuck characters their dry humor and the way they bounce off of each other in their pesterlogs is still something i adore

Last song: ignorance by paramore!!!

Currently reading: ........................asoiaf...

Currently watching: game of thrones with my buddy april. we are suffering together

Currently consuming: a latte from the nearby coffee shop i like to go to on the weekends!!

Currently craving: hmm maybe sushi, I haven't had it in a long while

NEW (ISH) FANTROLL ASK BLOG

Hi everyone. i haven’t used this ask blognin like. um. 4 years.

i don’t even know if i was that well known, but i think i was at least vaguely popular. …..kind of. not really.

but i’m working on bringing this back! because i reread homestuck and i miss roleplaying.

ANYWAY, THE IMPORTANT STUFF:

my name is REX or REXISTOPHOLES, and i use HE/HIM only. i’m 18, and my blog will probably have at least one or 2 adult jokes. not enough for it to be.. weird, though. just a warning.

im currently drawing new sprites for LENFYR and i’m planning on introducing more trolls over time.

once the sprites are done, i’ll do a JUDGEMENT MEME to familiarize myself with the community and to reintroduce myself.

any character development or arcs i introduced 4 years ago are basically moot. if anyone even remembers them. the only character open for questioning right now is LENFYR. feel free to ask him things, but responses will either be spriteless or with a little doodle.

for now, any fantroll ask blogs….. feel free to promo me? or don’t? send in asks! say hi!!

teehee!

i also do discord roleplay! add me at SacredHeart

i have forgotten most of HOMESTUCK and am due for a reread...

[chrisrin]

oh hey, since you've read crow strider now (i believe??) i wanted to ask you what you thought! im currently ill with consumption (i have the flu lmao) and i think i might reread it while im down and out. you were the one who got me into reading undas works and the crow strider au is kinda like that To Me

I adore fix-it AUs and fix-it fics in general, especially when they say "what if we did (original source) but the characters were smarter/more competent?"

Both M.C. Escher and Crow Strider fall under that umbrella for me, not entirely but that is the vibe I get from both of them and I absolutely love it. I also love the concept of an "absolved" timeline, it makes so much sense within the scope of Homestuck's lore, that I could see it being canon. I also LOVED the "Finish It" animation flash (hell, it reminded me a lot of MCE's fight scene with the Condense), I think there were so many opportunities to see the godtier's powers that we didn't in Homestuck, so it's a super fun time to see it explored in fanworks (esp. in ones that are animated).

I also love Crow as a character, but also all the different iterations and sprites/people that got rescued. I love taking these side characters who didn't get much of a chance in the spotlight, and giving them more depth and time to breath as fleshed out characters. Erisolsprite, Tavrosprite, and Gcathalsprite were some of my FAVORITES!

I honestly wasn't a huge fan of Arquiusprite in Homestuck, I really liked Hal as a character and when he fused with Equius it felt like a big chunk of his personality was overpowered by Equius's in their fused form, so when he got to have his own body and sprite to himself (sharing with the lovely god cat, though) it was a very fun diversion and twist on the OG story that I liked :D

[picatinny]

WOAH ITS ASK GAME O'CLOCK hi pidge @thegrandromantic:3

these things kinda scare me but im trying to be better about the social aspect of. you know. social media.

last song album i listened to: American Football - American Football. My sad matches their sad and I'm very deeply a fan of the tumpet. The haunting toots really carry the album

currently reading: COQUETTE DRAGOON!!!!!!! ivy mae wields the hurt-comfort cycle like a surgeon wields a scalpel and uses it to unclog the emotional drain in the reader's psyche. i seriously cried so hard my brain went through a factory reset. It's also rumored to activate "Machiavellian pervert mode" so there's that!

i'm al;so weaseling my way through a homestuck reread, and i'm keeping caught up with chainsaw man and jujutsu kaisen as they come out :3

currently watching: monser

it good 👍

currently obsessed with: Palworld oh my GOD the amount of time i've sunk into it already. i built a computer just to run a dedicated server for me and my friends... was it a dumb investment? probably! the good news is it'll also be useful for other things so i don't mind so much.

I summon to the battlefield in attack position: @mothlich @empty-probably @sloth-bones @yer-local-catgirl-gf @neutral-stupid

Tag someone you want to know better <3

three ships: what... like...just three? i think over the span of my life, in terms of how obsessed i used to be and for how long, probably enjoltaire, shizaya and sakuatsu (with an honorary wolfstar mention), but I'm going to cheat and name three that have gut-punched me these past few months: atsuhina, davekat (i shouldn't be publically admitting to rereading homestuck this summer, but ALAS) and fucking Elizabeth bennet and Mr Darcy, whatever their ship name is

first ship: i really don't know, i've been a shipper since i was like, a baby, but one of my earliest ones were... colin and mary from the secret garden... they are COUSINS... but i was 7 i didn't know any better :'')

last song: unironically, wellerman, for the purposes of one of my WIPs

last movie: BARBIE <3

currently reading: so many things! rereading 'the waves', 'hexwood', and homestuck (NO JUDGMENT PLS), reading 'memoirs of hadrian' and, very slowly, trigun, also very slowly 'the past is red'

currently watching: mb100 season 3 and jjk, although the latter's been stagnating a bit :'') also massively craving a black sails rewatch

last thing i wrote: my skts fic 'i don't want to hold your hand'

currently writing: a number of things, most notably a longish ot3 haikyuu fic full of capital P Pining and an original story i'm super excited about

tagging: @shizuumi151 and honestly anyone who wants to join in, im a bit out of touch with who's even remotely active on here on account of not having been even remotely active on here, this beloved website of mine, myself :'') also thank you for tagging me, @greatnearness <3

HOMESTUCK REREAD #17: END OF HOMESTUCK (act 6 act 6 act 6 and act 7)

this is it!!!!!! this is the end of homestuck!!!

the song setting the scene for all of these battles that are about to take place concurrently is called creata, and it has leitmotifs from MANY songs in homestuck, as do all of the songs in this 18 minute sequence! also check out this fortnite squad....

the second song is called oppa toby style... oh man this is gonna be sick.

GOD LOOK HOW STRONG SHE IS SHES BEATING UP FOUR OF THEM EFFORTLESSLY

roxy my son is fighting so hard actual goat of this section btw no cap you will see later

of course this part is.... not as important but still certainly something i suppose.. karkat and jake are giving it their all as the weakest members of the squad

here come the striders and terezi!!! they are about to mix the shit out of these jacks

side note but not really its kind of crazy how owned dirk gets in this fight he dies like three different times and is saved by dave terezi and jane a bunch . talk about an unlucky break

meanwhile jade is struggling with her dog friends/ enemies and caliborn is fighting his denizen yaldabaoth ( wrdgaf). also vriska is fighting hussie? (WRDGAFX2)

okay so caliborn beat his denizens ass. so called strongest denizen is weaker than caliborn who was beaten by john fucking egbert.

anyway the current song is eternity served cold but only the second half.. its very good. variation on johns theme for a bit, then into lord english theme.

ive always loved this shot

davepeta makes an undertale reference.... which i guess was topical at the time. my undertale phase is long gone though. so . cool reference anyway !

last song. heir of grief is starting. VERY good song. love this shit!!! pic of one of the squads... theyre getting roughed up

oh my god... the four original kids and the pictures of their houses from the beginning of the story really reminds me how far they have come... ive been reading this shit only for a few weeks but man it feels like it really has been such a long time since things were that simple.

cool ass shot of these guys

oh no!!! theyre getting fucked UP dude shes beating their ass... but who is that back there...?

to be honest. i am not sure what jade was trying to accomplish in this sequence. she seems to just be teleporting her and the dogs around.... like to get them to stop fighting maybe? idrk but either way they kinda just fight anyway. or at least PM does

i think this moment of dave chopping dirks head off is not really significant for dave as much as it is for dirk. he finally relinquished control for once!

anyway, PM FINALLY gets jacks ring off, and now he is no longer a threat. its been so long. wow . goat much?

roxy being the one to finish the condesce is deserved. great job. my goat. props to all of these crazy kids they fucking did it they won!!! holy shit good fuckin job!! but we arent quite done yet.

this is beautiful art that is the rest of the comic basically until act 7. i just love these panels so much. one of them has actually been my background for about a year and a half!

its this one . i really love this one it shows so many of my children look at them all god im so proud of them they did it.... YES!!!! i knew this would happen but im still so happy for them.

look!!! the mayor and pm reunited once again. its been since before cascade since they saw each other last! and serenity too!!

this one is a real standout as well... so good i love all of them. am i repeating myself? surely not.

:))))

it is time for act 7. the finale of homestuck, essentially. it has been a long and winding road.... only a little left to go :)

LOOK AT JOGN EGBERT I WANT HIM TOBE HAPYP FOR ALL ETERNAL

a lot of this animation shows the new universe being formed, like the tadpole turning into the frog and stuff. it is very cool, and visually stunning to be honest, but i like to focus more on the characters with my limited images per post. but trust me, act 7 is very beautiful the whole way through :D

LOOK AT MY CHILDREN IN STUNNING HD QUALITY

THE LOT OF THEM. I SIRED THEM ALL? INCREDIBLE

do you see how fucking beautiful these kids are and how much they mean to me. i would do anything for them

holy shit vriska is serving like crazy here. i mean they all are but... okayyy vriska

look at these two. leaders of their sessions. coming together. finishing. it all makes me tear up a little i wont lie. also this music called overture is fucking beautiful.

oh man okay yeah. i am really misty eyed here. this never happened before?? god i fucking love this story

IM GONNA START CRYING DUDE FUCK

well here it is. first view of the idyllic earth c. they did it. they won . they created their universe and they got to live in it

heres one last squad shot of them all being goated and fucking awesome maybe? ever think of that

it started with him and ended with him. my son john egbert i love you so much

okay. its actually over. it feels weird to say but i have indeed completed homestuck yet again. this time was maybe my favorite reading of it other than probably the first time. maybe it was cause of the blogging it? i did genuinely love blogging my thoughts about it. even if no one is paying too much attention, its cool to get it out there :D

overall thoughts? the first part is a little slow to get going, but once it does get going, it's so fun and just a blast to read. things are incredible up until right after cascade where it slows down a lot. which i get. introducing a ton of new characters and essentially a new main villain into the plot can be a lot. i would say that the first half of act 6 is like... a definite decrease in quality? but it starts picking up again when they actually arrive in the new session. and me personally, ive always loved the ending. i know some people were like oh they just win and their plan goes smoothly. like, yeah i get that, but also things did NOT go smoothly when game over happened, and that was definitely the everything goes wrong moment. everything after that is cool and fun and very entertaining to read. i just love this story guys i love it so much there is a reason why it is my favorite piece of fiction and why i constantly come back to it . it is just so good i love the characters i love the concepts the plot is sprawling and self referential and just plain cool . of course it has flaws, namely its villains are a little weak. sometimes i love villains who are just plain evil but sometimes in a story like this i may have preferred a villain who has a little more motive than just being evil and wanting to destroy and kill things... but its alright. the heroes were the main focus anyway, so its not like it ruins the story or anything. i think homestuck goes from an ironic shit post story that makes you feel like an ass for reading it to a heartfelt tale of empathy and self improvement and self actualization. its characters go from asshole kids to pretty good adults. and you can see the writing grow up too. its honestly great and if you know me you probably already know lots of bits and pieces about it and/or i made you read it. but if you dont you should give it a shot. it has NOT aged well i will say but if you can manage to ignore the usage of slurs and probably other bad things i can honestly say it ends as a story about growth and acceptance of the self and others. that is all.......

thanks for reading this to all my friends i had tons of fun

p.s

im reading the epilogues. FUCK
