yea i very much agree with ur take on sollux in his relation to older technology, u get it

please id love if youd share some more of ur analysis on his character (as well as ur art bc that shit is 👌👌👌)

either way, thanks for feeding my brain worms

im glad it resonated!! :') always happy to explore his character, he contains multitudes!!!

i think i may be out of sollux analysis for now, in the sense where i don't have anything new to add that hasn't already been covered in these posts? (please add if there's more...)

why i like sollux (lackadaisicallexicon, 2014)

comprehensive sollux status guide (syblatortue, 2016)

bioware machine (lime-bloods, 2016)

fridgestuck (LaureledEevees, 2017)

mary sue (3d-gla22e2, 2019)

favorite sollux trait (3d-gla22e2, 2020)

doom-bound static (gendertrickster, 2023)

however i will say there's another thing i really like abt him:

his Range!

he has a v flexible face.. even with his neutral expression, you cant help but read a tinge of melancholy/pensiveness to it.

he deters people from getting too comfortable with him by acting crude, but no matter how unapproachable he looks you can't help but wonder if he's ok. seems like he's never content with himself.

just like karkat, anger gives him purpose = something to care about & react to. without it he can appear aimless/uncertain.

it's especially interesting when you compare him to aradia, who despite having endured a lot of shit, ends up enjoying the freedom of expanding her worldview, riding the unpredictable tide of the narrative and observing the changes. sollux... doesn't.

he doesn't like watching major things progress in a way he can't predict. the lack of certainty actually overwhelms him.

and it's pretty clear why; imagine the only reassurance you get after unknowingly killing ur gf is that "it needed to happen". the only way to appease that sort of emotional turmoil is by intellectualizing those events as inevitable and out of your control.

(hs, A6I5)

when you’re just a tool for the author, trying to sit out is just feeble self-preservation until you’re needed again. if you’re not called on stage to help/assist in some way, it feels like your presence spells doom (either you or someone else will get hurt). so you avoid Events as best you can.

#ask #anon #homestuck #sollux captor #2023 #vioart #i love expressive characters eheh my fave emotions to draw are actually anger and incredulity. vry cathartic for me #im also super relieved the prev analysis was received well ngl it was like. splitting my chest open it was . very personal #largely bcs my appreciation of him is weirdly abstract? seems as if i had to come up w sm conceptual meaning just to say i like his vibe #but rlly i was just working backwards frm that conclusion like wow this character looks cool lemme think harder abt why i like it #i may have sounded a bit callous too.. but truly he is 1 of my top 3 faves alongside karkat & aradia. i brain them regularly in rotation

im being shaken fhdjsj

im in such a massive soft domestic venti mood like god i need to talk about it w someone or i explode. just like. what do u think his fave chores are. whats grocery shopping like with him. what does he usually have on his list and whats his fave section in there. imagine shopping for household items with him. maybe we need new silverware? new mugs? cooking utensils? maybe it's time we treat ourselves to new sheets? curtains? breakfasts in bed or making breakfast together and silly shenanigans from two people in love ensue. cleaning the house together and ending up sitting on the floor w messy boxes everywhere and theyre all opened bc ur now going thru albums instead of cleaning. anything. everything. i just need to talk about shit like this w someone but nobodys on the soft domestic mood these days please

#HFNFNSJIEJW #this world needs so much more wholesome venti ...hcjdekkeks #IM GLAD YOU LIKED THEM SO MUCH DHDJDJ I HIT TAG LIMIT BOTH TIMES #prevs:#im actually rlly sobbing at the idea that he just enables u to get shit do shit anything to live ur best life #(end) auh... i know i had to think about it and kind of sit there but he would #hes always reminding you that its your money and you can actually go get that silly mug or that new tea or that chocolate bar #especially when itd make you happy. because you deserve to be happy and have a good life!#not only bc he loves you but bc you should have it inherently abd IFHDHSJSJ #making myself cry now #pouring all my need for self love into venti amen #in conclusion. prevs:#i need a venti in my life to be stupidly domestic with #caps cw #swearing cw #longer post #posting posting 💕

Someday I need to make a link post with all my meta and AUs and fic and filk and fanart and long-running inside jokes so that new people don’t miss out on the gems of the several years of fandom activity I have squirreled away in here. (Also so I can find my damn essays when I want to pretentiously cite myself.)

#about me #my tag game is ok but probably not consistent enough #also it’s hard to get tumblr to spit out all the tags even if you tag consistently #and the meta works better if read in order b/c I’m building on prev conclusions

denying a trans man gender afirming surgeries and trying to legally make him incapable of having decision over his own body, is transphobic, undoubtly, but the legislation exists to control cis women. the societal expectation of fertility and searching all the posible means to have control over the womb and vagina of another person is both fundamentally racist and ableist in nature, as ranging from liberals to full on conservatives, will see people they oppress getting forcibly castrated and relish in the thought of them having "no legacy"

' irreversible damage ' was written about trans men, but we should not forget, from cover to the author's intention, that it's expressing the fear of losing women's fertility and societal indoctrination of baby makers. this is because, to the misogynistic mind, the idea of gender non-conformity presents the idea of questioning gender roles, which between many things not only proposes a woman that does not live for men, but also a woman that can find fulfilment without birthing kids through pregnancy. for these reasons self proclaimed "radicals" venerate the divine feminity and conservative groomers defend their right to refuse to teach girls about anything other than how to carry a pregnancy. it is the fear of losing the conditioned woman who is submissive to patriarchy, and the hipocrisy of considering race, class and disabilities despite claiming to be "pro-life"

trans liberation will come with women's liberation and viceversa, as they both encourage body autonomy and the concept of the woman happy with her existence without serving men. we should not think one cannot advance without the other, as transmisogyny shows us how deeply settled the standards of cis womanhood are, even within cis women themselves, when needed to shame women into conformity and submission and the shame of failing to be molded "correctly"

#CLARIFICATION im not saying trans men aren't oppressed i'm literally starting this from the fact that they do #anyways #you may think im talking to the air. im refering to a rb in the prev post which i didnt agree with over conclusion #it leaves a sour taste in my mouth to think society ''ruins cis women's lives trying to outlaw trans men''#when these laws have already existed and harmed thousands if not millions #''just like white people vote to screw over black people even if it harms them; cis people-'' race plays a vital part in reproduction right #last part i hope it makes sense im still a bit sleepy. i wanted to include trans women in case it breached containment #there is a talk on how transmisogyny denotes the double standards about womanhood. i dont feel im the right one to talk about it #women who are of color / trans / disabled have worded this out better than me and are in fact encouraged to add here

People: omg!! I had a dream where me and my crush kissed!!

Me: dreams of fictional massacres, byler endgame (or sadly no endgame), my teacher buying uranium, me fighting voldemort with my friends in minecraft, me and my friend getting lost in city shops, me watching s5 of st

And last to last night, getting messages from my previous "crush" (i am aroace and a girl, that guy is my friend (i guess?) now) about his life story and him confessing to me that he's gay...

He has a girlfriend...

Who he has very much definitely kissed, a couple people saw them...

My mind.... what???

#byler #oneandonlydreams #i am sorry this actually happened in my dream prev night #like- how did my brain even come to that conclusion??#he's that one 'straightest guy to have ever straighted' person lol #brain wtf???

Thank you

that some people respond to any well-foreshadowed reveal with “ugh that plot twist was so predictable” proves bad faith criticism has rotted their brains to the point they think it’s bad writing if they can correctly identify information the writers were intentionally giving them

#this #a plot twist is only surprising once #but good foreshadowing and irony and the buildup of tension and a satisfying conclusion?#that's a joy that can be re-experienced over and over again #<- prev tags #how to write #raven.txt #raven.salt

when I reblog a post I don't always agree with all of it btw I just think it's interesting

#esp longer ones #there can be rly good arguments and then. well wrong conclusions. like prev post!#no wwx was actually in the right at nightless....just bc narrative justice doesn't exist in the story #that doesn't mean right and wrong suddenly don't #and wwx was right in saving innocent people and the cultivation world attacked HIM for it!#and it was 3000 to ONE! COME ON #cor.txt

first day of work and :( my feet hurt :(

#can't draw any conclusions on that yet tho #for one bc i have determined that the shoes i wore today do Not have enough traction in this environment #so i gotta pull out the shoes i got while working at prev grocery #which... i feel like are actually harder on my feet even tho i have good insoles in them #but it's. really hard shopping online for a better fit so.#i'm gonna wear those this week and then decide if i should ask dad to loan me money for a (hopefully) better pair #anyway! first day of work was. well. okay.#i am starting off training in dish pit and i don't. like. hate it. but.#if dish pit ends up being my favorite assignment then i am gonna have to fuckin quit #unless dish pit grows on me but i am. not optimistic on that point.#whatever. i'm holding out at least through training.#...getting home was less fine.#first off was waiting Half An Hour for bus at stop without a bench :/#there's another stop nearby and i might head to that one tomorrow instead to see if it does have a bench but. i doubt it.#...and then a dude followed me off the bus and halfway home.#and he was def following me bc halfway is the point where i stopped and turned around and asked him and he said yeah #and then he backed off and turned around so like. at least there's that.#but like. pls fuck i need this to not be a regular fixture of my commute #and it happening on my First Day makes it 100% occurence rate atm and that is making me real anxious #yeah sorry to spring that on you in tag ramble idk what cw would be appropriate #and also idk how to zoom it to top of taga anymore so #storm's posts #personal #you can ignore this

Hey Catie, I think I know those feelings you’re mad about so yeah, I agree, they suck! And not the good kind! Why isn’t there just some magical goat that could lick your palm and 💥 bam, no more icky sticky yucky feelings you don’t want? Because the Universe is out to get us 😫 that’s why 😒. But I guess eventually you learn to take things as they are and realise you really can only do so much and to just. Try and enjoy what you’re doing in the moment, with the people you’re with (or just yourself!). But mm… that’s only a hypothesis, unfortunately I don’t have any tried and tested methods. Still though, and I’m launching you a lotta love too 💞💨🔫

Thank you for such a kind message, I really appreciate. Sending you a lot of love too!!!!! I guess I've just been pretty lonely lately, yknow somewhat long holiday break leading into two meager weeks of class then into finals week, not really seeing anyone too much. I like being alone, but I also get way too into my head and all my negative emotions and actions are amplified to a bad degree.

But thank you again for the msg, you made me laugh with some of the things haha(not the good kind of suck, I'm crying!) I find it kinda hard to reach out to people, again insecurities, so I always feel super appreciative when I get an ask or DM or anything. Sitting here, twiddling my thumbs a lot these days ;;;; But I agree with you!!! You gotta try and keep yourself in the moment and enjoy things, and not languish. I think I just need to draw 24/7 bcs i don't really have conscious thought while doing so 😭😭

#in conclusion: please come talk to/harass me anytime you want danke danke #im lonely sob sob sob #me when i cant stop self isolating 😬#me when i remember humans do in fact need interaction and its killing me not to #also dw i do like. talk to irl people. parents and friend. occasionally #its just even more suffering when i suddenly have a lot of ideas and uh not many people to talk to #i think im seeing my friend this week so itll be good :) maybe ill feel better #it just sucks cause ive not seen her too often lately and im scared of things being stilted </3 #i think i have a cold or something rn too. i feel physically bad as well 😭#catie is not living la vida loca :(#ah well maybe ill try and draw 007 au tonight. maybe that will settle me.#ig also just UGH rn cause i feel weirdly insecure again abt rambling #it hits me every once in a while. bad emotions as prev stated #i hate feeling itchy in my own skin yknow? but it bites at me sometimes #BUT THANK YOU ANON MWAH MWAH #lets hope i recover 🙏#unfortunately i get into a bad state every month for a couple weeks or less. its annoying but it will pass!#just very. condensed. rn. its manageable most of the time #but atm its just suffocating so yeah please pass soon :) let me not second guess everything thanks #catie.rambling.txt #catie.asks.

My brain has been a little flat mood-wise recently in the way that i cant focus on things that i have been super into recently but like

My brain still goes feral when i think about the trivia section on the wiki for my favorite character tho so i think its ok

#like for the record the trivia section is wrong. and made up of stupid conclusions with no basis :)#how dare a character be a flawed human being! no there must be some sort of bad evil magic influencing their thoughts!!#but yeah i often start to worry that my interest has faded which would! really suck!#i like my brain having something that makes it go !!!#i feel like with not actually being diagnosed with adhd or whatever doesnt make me qualified to use certain terms #like hyperfocus and whatnot. i see a lot of arguing about that #but like. i feel like it probably falls into that category? but the problem is it falters once my brain gets in a shitty space #but i really truely feel like thats more of a mental health/depression thing and burnout more than my actual investment #idk why i'm questioning this when i'm building an interactive tracker from scratch with no prev code experience #i think the amount of dedication towards this stupid thing qualifies. idk #like you need to use items for certain quests so i'm making a thing with a list of all items that need to be used so people #can figure out how many more of those items they need to get/save. you click a thing as finished it subtracts items from list :)#*new creative post tag here*

ID: tags reading #i run into a lot of he would not have the emotional intelligence to even be aware of that. end ID.

not just ‘he would not fucking say that’ but ‘he would not, under torture, admit that’

#let’s be real a lot of zukka fic #<- prev tags yeah #and i'm sympathetic to it bc i know i've come to conclusions about characters they wouldn't come to themselves #and wanted to work that into writing #and it's hard. it's hard to keep in mind this important characterization fact while also making sure the character doesn't say it #like yeah it's ooc. but it's more forgivable to me bc it does come from a good understanding of the characters and i know how tough it is

“LIFE MISSION: SAVE MY BROTHERS” 💖 The Red Knight’s Mission (Episode 1: The Buried Memory Page 9-18) ( tw: bright colors, eye strain )

we finally meet the tots!! for this set, i wanted to explore their origin and the real reason why leo put himself through this ritual. he thought maybe if he could see his brothers, he'll know what to look for. i can't imagine how he felt seeing them for the first time (not as a tot).

also if drax looks ominous, that's because he's being seen by leo's perspective! he already has a bias against draxum because of the stories he'd hear from his dad so that distorted his view on drax completely. little does he know how similar they'd be 🤫

the next set will be the last set for "the buried memory"! we'll finally find out how the bros got separated in the first place... and how they came upon the conclusion that donnie didn't make it... after that, there will be a new episode and that time, we'll finally know what happened to raph thank you again for supporting this comic!! 🥰💖

BEGINNING / PREV / NEXT (coming soon) • ( 🌿 please do NOT repost, edit, trace, use, and/or sell 🌿 )
