#it's reaaallllly not

[smytherines]

Part of what I love so much about this monologue is how Joey Richter does a pitch-perfect campy queercoded Bond villain performance, but with the addition of all of these incredible, brutal little moments where the mask slips for a second, where the character loses control of this image they're projecting, and we get to see that there is genuine fury and anguish boiling just under the surface. We get to see these little hints that actually this isn't just another campy queercoded Bond villain, there's something else going on here

Joey Richter manages to hit all of these incredible emotional beats, and then just as quickly he swings back into the camp, into the tropes we expect of the Bond villain, getting big and theatrical again like Owen is attempting to cover up that momentary loss of control

These pictures are maybe 10 seconds of dialogue? And he does this a few times throughout the reveal monolgue, and that builds perfectly into One Step Ahead, and that builds perfectly into the staircase scene. Just a real sense of constant bubbling tension, like something is about to snap. Like this is deeply, intensely personal. It's just so interesting and dynamic and adds so much to the character of Owen Carvour

Underrated perk of being an amateur web developer: being able to go on any badly designed website and say “God, I could make something better than this”

[roogaroo]

this isn't an ageplay thing I just think it's hot my girlfriend husband has 19 years (and 11 months) on me. on my birthday he was like look at you...so much older now and I said yeah I'm gaining on you, better hurry up. we both agree that 20 is a pleasing number. also whenever he voices anything about him being so much older or says cute things about how "ill figure it out" or I need to give myself some time im still very young or anything i kinda. die

[calware]

would you ever share a list of your fave fics to reread ? Id love to hear your recommendations and faves

sure thing :) i'm only going to list works that have been going on for a while (or at least have gotten past the very beginning of the story) and that i've read all the way through. i'm also not going to list any of the super iconic fics i like because this list is already pretty long. these are all based on stuff that i personally find more interesting to read about, mostly focused on the human characters and not a lot of romance

i don't really know if these first two count but they're too good to not include:

Jade Route by spicyyeti

a post-epilogues comic centering around jade, this is my favorite homestuck fanwork. i especially love the artwork and the way it frames the story. it is reaaallllly hard to read it on a phone so make sure to read it on a computer or tablet

House of Dirk by imarriedacherub no rating - graphic depictions of violence - 13,570 words - 20 chapters (unfinished) A sitcom about completely normal and well-adjusted newlyweds Dirk and Caliborn attempting to make a good impression on their son, Dave, and his boyfriend, Karkat.

another comic, this one hosted on both ao3 and mspfa (though the ao3 version has more pages). i like how ridiculous it is. will probably never be finished, sadly

moving on to the actual fics:

Reallocated by breezefulskies mature - chose not to use archive warnings - 324,756 words - 65 chapters (unfinished) Hal finds himself stranded aboard a certain meteor, impact-bound for Houston, Texas circa 1995. And everything spirals out from there. Because sometimes, when a system seems to be just short of defunct, all that is required is to take a step back and reevaluate the materials at hand and redistribute your available resources. And so, with birth comes a countdown on a cycle that begins as it ends: In the red.

hal is mysteriously sent to earth via unknown means and finds himself raising a baby as best as he can, which, given that he's glasses, is not easy. this is my favorite homestuck fic, not just because it's about hal, but also because i love the focus on family dynamics and the plot as it unfolds. begging everyone to read this, i can't say what happens exactly without spoiling things, it's just really really good. at the moment, it updates once a month

Ersatz Abyss by katreal mature - no archive warnings apply - 120,092 words - 39 chapters (unfinished) You look into the mirror to find your own face looking back at you. You laugh. And then you cry. Last, you try and figure out how you got to this moment. The Auto-Responder had long since resigned himself to an artificial existence, his only dwindling hope for escape hinging on a promise that has yet to be fulfilled. Then one day he wakes up, Dirk nowhere to be found. What's the point in getting what you want, if you can't show off a little?

another great hal fic. i managed to get my roommate (who has not read homestuck) to read this and they really enjoyed it, so i'm sure you all won't have any problems liking this one either. there are a lot of fics out there of hal getting a body, but this one is very different in that it's not the happy ending that you might first think it is. this fic perfects the feeling of everything snowballing into a bigger and bigger problem until it all falls apart

Falling for the First Time by nobrandhero teen - no warnings apply - 63,818 words - 11/17 chapters The game is over, Alpha Earth resets to 2009, and Dirk's bro doesn't live up to expectations. The movie director who appears so chill and stoic in interviews is actually a talkative, needy dweeb like his teenage counterpart. It's not a bad thing, as far as Dirk's concerned.

for whatever reason, i'm a sucker for fics where the characters somehow end up on earth again post-game, and out of all the fics that follow that concept this one is my favorite. sadly, this one barely touches on jane and jake, but it's pretty interesting to read about what dirk and roxy are getting up to with their guardians (and the earth) restored to their previous conditions

The Haunted Harley House by hemoanarchists teen - chose not to use archive warnings - 78,462 words - 23 chapters (finished) There is an old house you built a long long time ago, alongside someone very close to you. Now as you don a new name, slipping back into society to care for a descendant, to whom tragedy has left you as her only family left, you take her to the house, the house that bears your family name. You really shouldn't have been surprised when he came to join you. It is his house too, after all.

carlah, a young girl who lives on earth c, has just been taken in by her uncle "jacob harley" after her mother's death. as time goes on, she slowly learns more about the true nature of her new guardians and the house they all live in. normally i'm not that interested in OCs but i love how intriguing carlah is as an outsider of the story. it's really easy to get invested in her as she uncovers a mystery we all know from the beginning and another that we have to learn along with her. shoutout to dysfunctional family dynamics

actually, while i'm at it, i'm going to recommend a bunch of other stuff he's written:

Atlantis Bound teen - chose not to use archive warnings - 33,263 words - 8 chapters (unfinished) Dirk tracks down an old friend

prequel to the haunted harley house but can also be read after (or separately). i really like the dynamic between dirk and vriska here, and i also love the way vriska's repeated reincarnation is utilized. vriska's journey through the newest iteration of her life while dirk watches over her is soooo captivating, especially when snippets of her previous lives are sprinkled in throughout. do you guys love cycles? personally i love cycles

Cherubian mature - chose not to use archive warnings - 54,011 words - 29 chapters (unfinished) The 5000 year time skip never happened, at the dawn of time the gods desperately try to guide the planet into a better future. But with tensions rising it feels like one bad day could bring everything crumbling down.

all of dante's earth-c god fics as a whole changed my brain chemistry and this acts as the beginning (and catalyst) of that overarching story. a lot happens in a very short amount of time

Transitional teen - no warnings apply - 1,860 words - oneshot a simple question what changed when you went godtier?

super simple but also an interesting exploration of the headcanon that players' bodies change when they go godtier. the twist is that each "change" is unique to each character and relates to their Self in some way

Monster under the bed teen - chose not to use archive warnings - 2,573 words - oneshot Skeletons in the Closet mature - chose not to use archive warnings - 2,910 words - oneshot Small Talk teen - no warnings apply - 8,944 words - 6 chapters (unfinished)

putting all three of these together because i believe(?) they're all part of the same narrative

One of the best things about being a Metamophmagus is being able to hitch free rides around the castle, not to mention afternoon naps in peoples pockets!!

After a hilarious conversation with @dwightschrute11 last night, we had some fun coming up with some ideas for these two, such as Siobhan loving to hide out in Calypsos super soft hair!

I mean look at it who wouldn't wanna be wrapped up in them platinum curls?!

Now I did debate if I reaaallllly wanted to make animal versions of Siobhan green.. Ahem Beast boy.. In the end I decided yes. Yes I do. I have no regrets.

can u get bakugou for your 2.5k event? (also mega congrats that's HUGE!!)

1. if hero work wasn't a thing, what would be his job?

2. what pet do you think he'd have (even exotic)?

3. how do you think his handwriting would look like?

4. do you think he's the jealous type? 👀

1. katsuki is very smart. i do think if he were in uni he would major in some sort of engineering thing (shoutout to the ppl who helped me come to that). and ofc he’d do the one that makes the most money

2. hes a cat person. WHOOO SAID THAT?? cats take care of themselves more than dogs do, so even though he DOES pay attention to and care for his cat, he likes that he doesnt have to do much (i.e.; taking it out for walks, letting it out to go to the bathroom, etc). exotic wise he reaaallllly wants a lion and fully 100% thinks he could deal with it.

3. holy shit. its so tragically bafflingly bad. his hands are almost always sweaty, so he grips the pencil sooo tight and then hes pushing down on the paper and he tries SOOO hard to make it good but it just looks like chicken scratch really

4. 100%. i dont think i need much explanation for this; whats his is his.

It’s #slutturday and they’re supposed to be going to this pre-thanksgiving drinks party that is being hosted in their apartment building. Mickey reaaallllly doesn’t wanna go. Ian is not that enthusiastic either but he thinks they should. Mickey takes decisive action while Ian is finishing getting dressed in the bedroom. Mickey turns on their fireplace, makes sure the fluffy carpet is positioned perfectly in front of it, strips naked and lies down. He waits and grins when he hears the sharp intake of breath from Ian as he enters the living room. Oh yeah. They’re not making that party.

Some of y'all REAAALLLLLY mischaracterize Jason.

He isn't a sad little gay boy who's misunderstood and nice. He's a kid with trauma who shows out. I feel bad for him, but he isn't a little angel.

I feel like the double standard is used with him and wildernessa. People say she's "mean" and "annoying" but she's similar to Jason in certain ways. (Craig "rival", know it all, comes off kinda annoying, well written) But they're also different.

(not character hate, more so fandom hate in a way ig)

In all honestly the only mischaracterization I see for Jason is people saying he's a 'bully' or an irredeemable monster. The guy dammed up a creek and sprayed kids with a water gun not kick a puppy to the middle of the street.

I do agree, him and Vanessa do have some similarities, but they are pretty different from each other. I do feel like there's a sort of double standard of some kind with the two, I'm just confused how the crew made Craig immediately forgave Vanessa but made Craig continue hating Jason for the sake of it.

MM and Mae working together again possibly……. To be a fly on the wall 🤣😂😭

Anon, I have been laughing about this for d a y s.

It's only a short film and the cast is so (bizarrely) stacked I don't reaaallllly imagine they'll have any scenes together or even have been on set at the same time, but who knows.

The idea of actors like Anthony Carrigan, Alan Tudyk, Jay Baruchel and Wendi McLendon-Covey potentially being looped into GG set drama is also unbelievably funny to me.
