Not to acknowledge homestuck's existence but if there's one thing that I legitimately like abt it that no one gets like I do it's troll romance. Aka I'm apparently the only fucker on planet earth who read the romance part of that. Can anyone hear me.

#rat rambles #homestuck #<for tag blocking do not expect me to homestuck post again #anyways its a bit underutilized in the main comic but its one of few examples I've seen of an alien species actually having fundamentally #different relationships than humans do #which ofc makes it even more annoying to me that its so heavily boxed with very human relationship #screaming and kicking moirailgence isnt besties+ please it's so dark in here can anyone hear me #like as someone who used to do homestuck roleplays back in the day boy do I have some horror stories #the pains of being an acearo person who in fact doesnt think moirailgence is platonic and that kismesitude is purely sex based #like it was already hard enough to have troll ocs with specific sexualities let alone an aro troll oc #like highkey the homestuck fandom was what kickstarted my evil aro arc #it was just baffling to me how many ppl would see an aromantic character or Real Person and their first instinct was to try to push them #to being ~moirails~ with someone #like its so fucking bizarre to me how that was just. so widely accepted by the community at the time.#and if I can continue my evil aro arc for just a second. this is kind of how I feel abt alloro ppls treatment of qpr nowadays.#now unlike moirailgence it Is actually platonic and many aro ppl do in fact seek those sorts of relationships #and I think theyre a good thing and I think they deserve to be represented and appreciated #and I too very much enjoy writing qpr and have interest in maybe giving it a try myself some day #but. alloro ppl. really. Really. like treating it as an excuse to place aro characters into romances.#and they also very much do not enjoy being told that its in fact. a preference thing. and some aro ppl. wont want that for themselves.#anyways back to troll romance while I do think moirailgence is romantic I also think itd be soooo interesting to explore what #queer platonic relationships would look like for different quadrents and how that would be seen and treated from a societal level #like I think queer platonic kismesitudes sound rly interesting for example #I also think theres a lot to be explored in terms of what polyamory looks like for different quadrants #for example a few days ago me and one of my siblings were discussing what a auspisticism polycule would look like #theres a lot of interesting ways to look at and explore troll romance when you arent trying to make it fit into human relationships #anyways thats my homestuck punch card used up apologies I just needed to be pretentious abt a comic I havent read in years or Id die #this is to avenge 16 year old me fighting for its god damn life during roleplays
