peppepeppep :) ITSSS YOURRR BIRTHDAYYY :)) hihi i love you with literally all of my heart and soul!!!! i know this message is a lil short and i wanna apologize for that (pls pls pls blame the spiders and centipedes i literally am fighting for my life rn and i have the new cut on my leg to prove it!! the lil guy is ME and i am SUFFERING)

but its your birthday and im so so so happy to celebrate another birthday with you!! and i also think we actually recently hit two years of being friends which is literally the coolest thing in the world bc YOURE the coolest in the world <3 but i love you so so very much and i think youre actually one of the bestest people ever (even if you support the wrong team with the blue in its colours ((barçabarçamapimapi)) i love you and your unwavering dedication to the wrong team :])

but all jokes aside i will from now until the 18th of may be supporting the blue team with you even tho i prefer red and blaugrana <33 just bc your love of this team is super inspiring and ill always appreciate how loyal you are to it!!! (played as chelsea in fifa for you and we won very hard against real madrid 🤭🤭) the blue is in fact actually also the correct blue tbh (i played on a team with that blue and my fav number to play with and it was my favourite team so itll always be the best blue <3) even if i poke fun at you 🤭

i hope to be here for many many more years to further your exposure to all the mapi content i can find in the hopes to attach you to mapi via bluetooth!! (on spotify theres this way you can attach your phone to multiple sets of headphones to listen with others and i feel you should be like the phone in that case where you can use your bluetooth to connect to two pairs of headphones)

anywho i love you with my entire heart and i hope you have the absolute bestest day and remember how much i love and appreciate you!!!! <333

hilhil please do not apologise for this being short because it is definitely not that 😭😭 THANK YOU AND I LOVE YOU AND ALL OF YOUR MESSAGES TODAY SO MUCH <3333

honestly the wildest part of my birthday every year is remembering I met most of my closest friends here (and joined the Jeff cult) when I was 19. And now I'm 22 that age feels so so long ago but I'm eternally grateful that I still have you and other friends from back then and we're still talking just the same 2/3 years later :))) and I just love you very very much <333

CHELSEA CHELSEA CHELSEA. 22 years to the day of supporting the correct team, and correct blue team and for sure that will never change 😌 thank you for joining me with your temporary support and for smashing real madrid on my behalf 💙💙

but yes yes, here's to many more years 🥳🥳 where I will definitely be inundated with mapi content even if I already like mapi (but will always support Chelsea more 🤭) and many more years of getting to talk with you and call you my friend 🥰

love you loads and loads forever hilhil <333

i dont technically hardcore ship kids buuuut i will say “fuck thats hecking cute” to any and all pairings and join in on the fun wholesome content. for example, if you give me fanart, give me fics, give me headcanons, then im already sold on how adorable that specific pairing will be bc theres now some quality content to explore. as long as its not toxic, disgusting or impractical.

god okay, get motherfucking ready guys.

now, i may rant a bit on the matter to further explain my point of view on shipping in this comic and how i will go around it lol. sorry for the long note. there’s a tldr at the end.

honestly, idc who gets together, bc i just want the kids to be happy and if the pairing is happy together, thats all that matters to me. i just dont like taking shipping to the extreme, yknow. (which means having nsfw stuff for kids and flipping out if one ship is canon when another really should be. similar to many other fandoms who have those problems and i just.. dont get why?) anyways, thats not to say i will freak out if a cute pairing of mine becomes canon and especially if the rep is nice. and honestly? ill probably freak out for any canon ship as long as its healthy and theyre both happy - as ive mentioned. keep in mind im still a fan lmao, i will prob participate in the recurring ship talk and discourse bc ugh it can be so fucking cute.

anyways, regarding what we have now, i honestly like all pairings atm (obviously between the kids only and not some cursed ones ive heard about which i refuse to get into). all their interactions are so unique and cute and quite adorable. davejade is wholesome. johnrose is valid. i also like jaderose, daverose and johndave. which technically is almost every possible pairing lmfao. sometimes my opinion can vary, sometimes things could happen to make my view on that specific pairing to change. and sometimes new people come into the picture which allows me to explore more potential candidates that i think would be better for that characters rather than just having a ship to progress the plot further. if that makes sense. it always depends, doesnt it? (so keep in mind you can ask me if i ever have changed my opinion on a specific ship, character, ect in the future)

and of course, there’s a big difference between who i think are going to get together and who i wouldnt mind getting together despite canonical evidence that it wont happen. which i wont get into unless yall want me to talk about in depth who likes who and how it will probably impact the relationships of the characters vs how it should be.. well, not “fixed”, but what could be another alternative if a specific relationship seems to have its downfalls. 

however, i doubt there’s going to be any “endgame” ships bc homestuck is more prone to story telling than romance. it’s a webcomic for plot and probable character growth rather than making people’s ships come true. meaning shipping is a concept that andrew will give you, and he will give you all types of interaction so you’re free to ship what you want. however, he’ll leave it open without giving us an ultimate pairing. which is where i think this comic will go. i may be wrong. but it seems the most likely situation.

so shipping is all fun and games but things happen, not everything becomes canon and even if i have theories on future relationships, i will only analyze what we were given and not necessarily based on non-canonical evidence. so as much as i like crackships (and boy do i have fun in crackships, lets be real), because this is a liveblog, i wont be able to get into depth with false claims on a ship if there’s literally nothing to go on. however, pls expect joke ships to happen. if i say cake #42 wants to be with john’s fake arms, so be it. that was a fun time on the discord, man. i love joking around but then again, they are just jokes. im not actually shipping them. its similar to how i view dave and AT. they got married duh. yet thats a joke. something i will bring up again, but that never means im serious about it. (besides imp soap opera. thats becoming massively real now, isnt it. a liveblog inside joke that got way out of hand and is now canon.)

anyways, romance is a nice bonus treat for everyone as they read a webcomic which is not centered around it. and of course ill analyse the possibilities of what we could get and how characters will go through it based on their personalities and past experiences, but i dont think itll become a main part of homestuck as of now. perhaps something.. could happen in the future? and ill keep my hopes of some pairings getting together. but, overall, i will be happy with whatever we get and i refuse to bitch about how some ship is better than the other and be mad at homestuck in its entirety. because andy here is not trying to portray a romcom, he’s making an actual story.

wow, i kind of went off a little on what you were trying to ask in the first place, but i feel this was a nice place to get that out there and explain how ill perceive shipping in homestuck. all so i wont have to explain this for the future when characters potentially start getting together. which is to say, ill enjoy shipping characters on my hs experience, hell, ill even participate in it, but they are 13 and i have my limits.

cool. i feel like i just wrote a philosophy book.

tldr; shipping is a nice gateway in a fandom, i like pretty much anything as long as its not toxic and theyre happy together. expect character/relationship analyses in the future.
