I meant to actually write something for valentine's day but. i just finished my work. so instead have some of the ideas I had that might become future one-shots

During a candy hot-take sesh, Kai confessed he likes strawberry cream chocolates the most. Hannah proceeded to try and find a box of only those, failed, and so bought the assortment boxes until she could fill only one with strawberry creams (she put the rest in a bag and offered them to people discreetly bc she knows Kai will not let her hear the end of it if he finds out. he knows anyways)

Jay and Nya tried to go on a date, but Jay's reservation at a restaurant fell through, it started raining, they got ambushed by alley robbers and had to fight them off, and then the bike broke down so they had to hoof it around tiown. Despite all of this, they found a really cute hole-in-the-wall restaurant and have a great time

Cole and Jonathan are the only two without Valentine's or Palentine's/Galentine's and so they stay in and play video games together. Jonathan isn't great at playing fair bc he normally just tries to find all the cheats and glitches, but Cole shows him the ropes (platonic besties)

roxie, jasmine, nataly, and kyle go to a club and party for palentine's

Roxie Andrews in Let It Shine (2012)

[basicallyjaywalker]

Inhales.

Old woman with insane amounts of trauma takes on a half-snake girl whose dad tries to end the world at some point. When her dad tries to end the world the old woman goes to help save people and runs into a gifted kid who hasn't burned out yet and a mom friend who is pretending everything is fine. She takes them in too.

Meanwhile a magical orphan decides to run away from her entire town to sort out her trauma but she gets bonked on the head and a demon and the devil (not from the Bible but might as well) train her. When they try to take over the world the demon is cured of demon ing and she becomes his student for a bit but then the old woman steals her away with cookies.

Meanwhile meanwhile another orphan, a musical one this time, is being made into a sick weapon for a man with a snake cult. She has a boy who is the closest thing to family she's got taking care of her and one night they both get on a truck and run away. The old woman finds her specifically in a fight club and takes her in.

That's all of Twyla's students. Bonus round, the others!

A demon and a historians daughter got kidnapped out of her bed as a child and the historian didn't tell anyone (in her defense, grief) and she gets raised by a proto-cult dude until she runs away and works in a comic shop

The daughter of Ninjago Tumblrs Favorite Wet Cat gets adopted by Ninjago Tumblrs Favorite Morally Grey DILF and gets to have multiple crises when her dad rises from the grave to take over the world

The son of a tech genius is mostly there to make cool shit and will get to do cool shit later, probably

And finally, Willow, whose backstory I haven't fully figured out yet

Manic pixie dream girl lives in forest, is true neutral, and probably causes problems

EVERYONE QUICK describe your oc story in the worst way possible

The god is here

[bladekindeyewear]

Why are all of John's friends trying to gaslight him constantly? He was proven right about Candy and yet they all still treat him like he's nuts. Especially Jade.

But John ISN'T right. The Candy timeline being a "funhouse reflection" doesn't justify his proposed assertions and actions. I went into deep detail about that in my liveblog post, person by person. Just about all of the adults are wrong in important ways (besides Karkat), and are proving themselves wrong in that very conversation-- but John is the MOST wrong, the furthest from the point of this story, the most obviously suffering from his shortcomings as a person.

You get the sense you may have missed something.

This line, as everyone is standing over him, isn't just a joke about what's going on behind them all... as I covered in my liveblog post, it's a key statement about the core mistake John is making. About how ever since he arrived on Earth C, he's been looking for "true meaning" everywhere outside himself when it has to come from within.

ROXY: john did you listen to a single fucking thing i said to you JOHN: yes! JOHN: like, okay, you were right. JOHN: this place IS real.

In their argument in this update, Roxy and John alluded to their home conversation toward the end of the Candy Epilogues, when John was trying to insist that everyone's actions made no sense and that this timeline didn't mean anything... and Roxy dismantled his assertions. That just because the Candy Timeline was so strange and intentionally read at first like poor fanfiction -- likely because it was born from CALLIOPE'S fanfiction, the Meat version of Callie wearing the Ring of Life who is constantly said both in the Epilogues and Homestuck^2 to have been drawing events on her walls that sound suspiciously like the events of Candy -- that doesn't mean the Candy story, that a noncanon fanfic, isn't real or doesn't matter. Just because some of the events seemed absurd from John's point of view, OUR point of view, didn't mean they didn't have underlying reasons... right down to Yiffy's name as we discovered in this update from Karkat's insight that Jade was naming and treating Yiffany like the child she imagined she'd have had with Dave without his involvement. Just because it's not the "original author's" method of characterization doesn't mean that fan characterizations hold no worth, that fan stories hold no value.

John is right that all the former heroes in the Candy Timeline (besides maybe Karkat) have made a great many HORRIBLE decisions, giving in to their insecurities and neuroses and past trauma. But his solution is to ditch all the consequences of their "fanfic" story, consign it to the trash bin, and instead pursue "relevance" as if a new adventure, as if something more "Canon", would would be best for everyone... mainly himself. That allowing fanfics to be real, or making a difference in their own world despite their flaws, is "too much freedom".

JADE: john... this is what i mean. JADE: you have no idea what it is you actually want, do you? JADE: being happy to you is just chasing after whatever it is you dont already have. JADE: and we know how that always turns out. JOHN: what does THAT mean? JADE: it means, john, that you're going to drag harry along on this big awful adventure and then, itll end! JADE: and even assuming it ends well, he might get what, one good year with you? JADE: maybe two? JADE: until you get bored and angry and avoidant all over

JADE: john... JADE: you cant actually believe everything will be fine if we just leave, right? JADE: no matter where you go, john, youre still going to be... this. JADE: i wish saving you WAS as easy as snapping our fingers and going off on some other adventure, JADE: but well never be 13 again. JADE: and... looking at you in that old outfit makes me nauseous. JADE: you were right, a lot of the time i dont like it here, and i DEFINITELY dont like whats happened to us. JADE: but its our own fault, and now its all we have left to work with.

Jade proved herself one of the "craziest" ones here in this update, with us seeing the real reason she chose a name as absurd and offhand-Dave-Strider-joke-like as Yiffany Longstocking, and in particular with the way she wants to CONTROL her child to live the life she THINKS is best for her from Jade's own experience, living a "normal" life vicariously through her, rather than letting Yiffy live the life she actually WANTS to live. She deserved Yiffy's final, parting "FUCK YOU!".

But the point she's making about John here is TRUE, and is even more important.

John has been constantly defining his self-worth by adventures outside himself, listless and depressed and UNCOMFORTABLE in his own being, thinking that happiness and fulfillment and satisfaction is something he has to go out and find on some sort of story quest. His time in Sburb was the only time the world around him was doing the heavy lifting of convincing him that he had meaning. But he was never comfortable JUST BEING HIMSELF. Never confident in BELIEVING in himself, by himself. Quests and chasing goals given to him were only ever temporary patches over his own insecurity, his feelings of wrongness in the very act of existing as the person he is.

"no matter where you go, john, youre still going to be... this."

"You get the sense you may have missed something."

John is so wrong, so horribly inconsiderate to everyone in this update, so insistent on the next dose of adventure even if it means consigning the entire timeline to the trash bin, because he is MISSING the key thing that would actually make him really, truly happy. Confident, fulfilled. Satisfied enough to live for OTHERS, like his child, more than just for himself.

Which is why the update ALSO gave him a GLIMPSE of what he was missing, what he needs to find INSIDE himself -- not outside -- in order to love himself.

And what he needs to find inside himself... is HER.

June Egbert would love herself enough to start truly living for herself and others. To believe in herself enough to show herself off so confidently in the stage's spotlight, to know she's a Hero beyond her prior inner doubts. The dead version of John in the Meat timeline seems likely to become her first, but the lesson is the same. John keeps trying to look for a way to "escape" his problems, causing all sorts of issues and insensitivity because he can't escape himself, and this is the true key to the self-acceptance he's been avoiding.

That's been the slow, steady, Andrew-blessed drumbeat that's been building in the background ever since the beginning of the Epilogues. It wasn't just a Toblerone wish, that was only the final excuse. Andrew had been talking obsessively with others about this repressed-transfem interpretation of John throughout Homestuck ever since fans brought up the idea before the Epilogues, before the Toblerone, and HS^2 and Beyond Canon's writers (and the Epilogue's cowriters) have all been standing with Andrew on this idea. The fact that Candy was so "weird" and non-canon was never what was actually making John "miserable" for so long. He's still projecting blame for his unhappiness onto that idea instead of seeing the truer way to be herself. It's been hinted at and reiterated throughout the new stories, and confirmed by its authors:

That's just the biggest key to JUNE'S issues, though, not everyone else's. From now on, all the heroes who were left behind in Candy -- possibly with help from those in the Meat Timeline who believe in them -- WILL SAVE the Candy Timeline from dissolving into the ether.

ROXY: john... i know things didnt work out the way you thought they would but we cant just up and fuck off???? ROXY: i feel it in my gut, we can save this place, we have to!

Together, they WILL prove the overarching theme that our drive to create fanon and fanfics and fan characters, that the wild and disagreeing interpretations on what could happen next (or what could have happened) that live on after the story in the reader's hearts, that the versions of these CHARACTERS that live on in our hearts, matter just as much or more as the grip of plot relevance and "canon" by a tyrannical author. That being trapped in a "story" necessarily tortures them for the sake of dramatic impact and that the characters deserve to be freed from its clutches. The overall message of the original "Homestuck" -- it's in the very NAME -- was that the heroes had to ESCAPE THE STORY to find true happiness instead of simply winning by its rules, by a tyrannical storycrafter like Lord English's rules. Homestuck's original ending was too strangely executed to spell out that lesson for most people. Homestuck's sequel is making that message EXPLICIT so none of us who stick around will miss it.

And Beyond Canon has been REALLY good at convincing me that they're going to pull that lesson off RIGHT. :D

Good timezone everyone. Have an OC thought:

Roxie gives people craft supplies for their birthdays as a way to spread please have a relaxing hobby propaganda to her workaholic teammates

Hannah gets a needle felting kit

(which is where one takes wool roving and a needle and stabs the roving into a shape, to put it very simply)

And at first Hannah is like *yeah this was super sweet. I am not telling her I'll probably never use it*

But she tries it

Approximately two weeks later, someone walks in to ask Hannah something, only to find her hunched over and intently stabbing at a pile of golden yellow wool

Said person also nearly gets a needle thrown at them for coming in w/o knocking

Cue the coming months where people wake up with a cute felted medallion (with a shocking amount of detail) on the bedside tables

Hannah never admits it's her but they all know

Roxie quietly celebrates in the corner at another job well done

YEAHHH FRIENDSHIP

Jasmine and Roxie are technically exes but also still best friends! Formerly roommates as well. they provide a good complement to each others energies and demeanors and are very right/left brain coded iykwim. jasmine is usually the more logical and coolheaded of the too, a planner and a thinker, while roxie is a spontaneous actor who works more off her emotions.

Nataly and Kyle are also best friends! they have the dynamic of the two friends of the main character in a high school movie. nataly is highly energetic and chaotic and kyle is enabling her or reining her in depending on what the situation calls for. they've gone on more than one midnight snacking excursion together before

Jasmine and Jonathan are coworkers and friends! well. complexity i don't have time to get into the dr stuff rn. whereas in her friendship w roxie jasmine is the coolheaded one with jonathan she's more rash, often leading him into shenanigans rather than the other way around. Jonathan has a lot of admiration for her and is prone to letting himself get dragged.

And ofc, the entire team is friends and friendly w each other. Jackie and Jasmine have been known to have one v one video game tournaments, jonathan and kyle often get left alone as the "two guys" to do bro things (read: watch romcoms), roxie and jackie often have sitcom style fashion shows where they just pull everything out the closet and make outfits, etc

Forget ships. Which ocs are friends

[cosmicyellow]

The official homestuck site is down, and both of the unofficial websites/archives just present this for many consecutive pages in a row. Why is reading one of the most popular online comics now impossible??? Where did that revenue money go Hussie???

Another ninjago oc question for my friends out there with ninjago ocs. Shoutout Ninjago oc makers. What is your ocs dream job, and what is the job they have now? If they aren’t the same.

Toni wants very bad to be a reporter. He’d kill to get paid doing what he already risks his life to do. But nobody will hire her. What Toni actually does is works at Chen’s noodles as a waiter. They’re not allowed in the kitchen (will set it on fire)

Charlie would have loved doing graphic design in another life. But she never got that chance. She doesn’t have a set job, she hops jobs any chance she gets, and stays until her employer is about to find out she lied about her name her address and everything about her identity.

Kit wanted so badly to be a biologist. Hence the biology degree. But they work at a plant nursery instead.
