Okay serious question: why does everyone keep saying that netherwart is like drugs and that Blue has a drug addiction?

Netherwart on its own is useless until it’s combined with water, and even then the resulting awkward potion is still useless unless a third ingredient of Blue’s choice is added. It’s got no effect of its own. Yes it’s not coded to be edible in-game but it doesn’t even affect Blue in any way when he eats it.

I’ll buy that he has an addiction to the stuff; drugs aren’t the only thing a person can become addicted to (caffeine addictions are often not recognized as such because the idea of needing it to get through the day has been so normalized, and because most people supplement with coffee or carbonated drinks instead of, like, caffeine pills. I’m not even gonna get into social media addiction or adrenaline junkies). But Blue isn’t eating it to get high, it doesn’t give him a high.

He just likes the taste. Honestly it’s more like he’s addicted to eating cardboard or play-dough.

i really forgot how much pushback tony got for saying that he didn't want to make weapons anymore. like not just "tony that's a bad call financially for the company" but like. ridiculing the idea, telling him he's not thinking straight. he's got three people in his life and two of them are saying this and the other one is his PA

A drabble trade with @domoz, with the prompts "marriage hunt" & "cultural differences"!

-------

This was the first time in over two hundreds years that the Senju had allowed another clan to be present for the midsummer hunt, much less partake. An act of trust, Hashirama had called it. Tobirama wasn’t entirely opposed, but he did wish Aniki had bothered to explain the details of the ceremony to the other clan.

The Senju Midsummer Marriage Hunt was a celebration of life. It was a matter of connecting to nature, reconnecting to their place in nature. The intricacies of the rituals surrounding it, as most long-ago formed religious practices, were as detailed as they were endless. Dressed only in cotton, bringing only bow and arrows as their weapons, and all of them barefoot- the Senju had taken great efforts to ensure the event remained connected in all ways back to nature. Hashirama had reassured him multiple times that it wouldn’t be trouble- that the Uchiha, as a clan well known for their hunting prowess, would not disturb things where it mattered. 

The sun high, the day hot, and the Uchiha’s arrival to the meadow was already proving his brother wrong. 

They arrived in a burst of color through the brushwork, making noise that shinobi normally are naturally devoid of. Some are playing instruments, drums and flutes, and there’s laughter and yelling and the clatter of wooden geta knocking together. Tobirama makes a mental note to direct the hunt in the opposite direction from which the Uchiha had come; there would certainly be nothing to catch along the trail after that terrible racket. 

Despite all the noise, it’s a smaller group then Tobirama would’ve expected. No children, no elderly; only a small group of presumed-shinobi.

Hashirama’s welcoming smile grows strained, but he still calls out to the procession. “Hello, hello! So glad you accepted our invitation!”

Madara Uchiha makes his way to the front and accepts Hashirama’s excited hug with good nature. As the noise finally died down, the two groups were able to observe each other- and Tobirama is surprised to find matching looks of disdain across the way. Both the Senju and the Uchiha clearly do not approve of each other’s choice in clothing. 

The Uchiha are dressed in finary. Delicate silks, layers of jewelry. Even Madara has bothered to tie his hair back in an imitation of a presentable style. They look dressed to meet the daimyo, not for a day and a half of hunting on a boiling hot summer day. 

 Izuna shoves his way forward. He’s dressed even nicer than the rest, with bright red makeup smeared at the corners of his eyes and his hair a glossy well-groomed braid along his back. He gestures at Tobirama, turns to face Madara, and says, “I told you!”

“Izuna.” Madara responds, in a reprimanding tone near-identical to Hashirama’s. It’s a little funny, but Tobirama hides his mirth for fear of making the situation worse. 

Hikaku- and ah, unusual for so many members of the Uchiha main family to have come all together- makes his way to Izuna’s side and pats him reassuringly on the shoulder. “We mustn’t judge the Senju for….aesthetic differences. If their tradition calls for more practical clothing, we should respect it.”

He says it very nicely, but it certainly sounds judgemental. Tobirama would be offended if he wasn’t practicing a very similar judgment of the Uchiha tradition. Dressing up for hunting in old growth forests seems unbearably foolish, regardless of historical precedent. 

“Look, look, this is my fault. I really should’ve explained it better.” Hashirama offers, which does seem to mollify both halves of the crowd. “We Senju host a hunt every midsummer in honor of all the marriages in the past year. It’s a way to reconnect with our place in the natural order, which is why we tend to dress down and-” 

“Honor the marriages?” Madara stutters out. All of the Uchiha, in fact, seem more confused at Hashirama’s words. 

“Yes, exactly! Because of- you know, the spring babies growing up and…” His voice trails off.

“The Uchiha,” Hikaku explains, face flushed a bright red, “Have our own tradition called a marriage hunt. A tradition where a shinobi can catch a spouse. We had assumed…” 

Tobirama waits until the clamor from his own clan dies down- outrage from some, certainly, but more laughter than anything. Such an outrageous miscommunication, it’s hard for any of them to find anger and not humor. 

“I believe, with some effort, our traditions could be merged.” Tobirama offers politely, and ignores the weight of a very intense stare at his words.

Does anyone have any Homestuck OCs whose stories, SBURB related specifically, aren't taking place in the modern/current time?

Maybe someone has a bunch of fankids from the 1950s, whose version of SBURB is a board game like Jumanji.

Or maybe some fantrolls in the distant future after an apocalypse has rendered Alternia a dying planet, and all the SGRUB players are scavengers who somehow pieced together the SGRUB code and started the game

audhd is constantly worrying about being unintentionally mean in your wording but when you should be mean because some cunt is harassing you then you're too polite for some reason

i might get some hate for this depending on where this post goes but i think lesboys are so valid and the discourse about them is so ridiculous. like you guys shouldn't have to deal with all that and it frustrates me that people throw hissy fits over an identity that literally does not affect them at all.

"but men cant be lesbians-" wrong. butch lesbians and trans men have a really closely connected history with each other that practically intersects and you should really do some research on that before you make blanket statements, not to mention that gender and sexuality is weird and wobbly and fluid and a very personal experience. it means a different thing to each person. being a man can be something completely different and saying stuff like this ignores people like demiboys, demigirls, genderfluid and genderflux people etc. these people will really preach "demolish the gender binary!! love is love!!" until someone's relationship with gender and sexuality is a little too freaky for them to handle and be challenged by lmaoo

"ohhh but what about the cishet men who say they're lesbians to prey on women-" YEAH WHAT ABOUT THEM????? THIS AIN'T ABOUT THEM BRO!!!!! this argument also REEKS of terfy "trans women are just predatory men!!!111!!1" rhetoric and it grosses me out. yeah some men are gross and do try to pull this but that does not negate someone's entire identity completely just because of a few bad actors, you know that right? actual black and white behaviour.

queer discourse is silly and i don't know why it's a thing. just let people exist. it isn't that hard. we have worse things to worry about than whether someone calls themselves a lesboy or not. i think we need to unplug our ears and yank our heads out of the sand and remember that the queer community is what it is because of our unique and amazing diversity. arguing over labels like school children isn't gonna help that. damn.

I’m sorry but I cannot get the idea of hippie goth Anya out of my head. Like she goes from this cute baby with all her pastels and dolls to like wearing every shade of black possible. She always has really fun eyeliner. Listens to mostly rock and metal (she’s growing up in the late 70s early 80s like prime time). She wears long skirts with all these fun patterns. Lots of jewelry with little spikes. Her trademark doc martins and her never ending stash of boots. And she’s totally into occult shit, especially witches and voodoo and hoodoo.

But her personality hasn’t changed much shes still the eccentric playful girl she always was just with a lot of dark colours now. Kinda like Misa from death note.

And I do think this would only make Damian love her more because like come on preppy jocks always love the weird goth girl.

And the way her style would completely clash with Becky’s. Like Becky getting into her classy preppy princess Diana style while Anya is embracing her inner Courtney love and it’s such a confusing combination.

And Yor would be so afraid of Anya. She doesn’t want to say anything to cramp her style but also you’re playing with devious there doll. And everyone’s just like who are you to talk?????

Twilight won’t even care. He’s too busy crying over seeing his baby girl all grown up he hasn’t even processed the goth witch part of it.

been reading a lot of scholarship on anti-vaxx protests & their connections to fascism and something eternally frustrating with the literature is you have to guess whether the author means “extremist left wing views” as in “votes for liberal parties” or as in “is a communist” and 99% of the time it’s the former
