[mirxzii]

you've recieved a letter from: roxie! 💌

open?

YES NO

2023 has been like a rollercoaster for me. i had my ups, discovering kpop and seventeen, and my downs, struggling with grades and more.

scrolling through kpop and seventeen tags when i was a little baby carat, i was so nervous. i wanted to be friends with so many people here, to talk and giggle about my faves like others did. but i wasnt a writer, i wasnt even a big account.

however, my desire for friends who loved kpop and seventeen as much as me pushed past my social anxieties, and i began to talk to people here, praying they'd see my efforts, and like me.

so, i want to thank some of those writers and people who heard me, and who i love

My Girls. - OC Story

pairing: F!OC: Kathleen "Brass" Moore x John Price extra: moot OC!Camilla Price x Rodolfo Parra words: 1.9k~ cw: baby fic, parenting, parenting insecurities (from John, about not being present enough), father's day dinner, flirting, insults, banter.

June 20th, 2021.

Father's Day.

Fatherhood might just be the most exhausting mission John Price has ever had to fight.

And if Kathleen ever heard him say that out loud, she'd take one of his pistols and empty all the magazines in his skull while he's sleeping.

But that's the only explanation he has as to why he finds himself waking up at 1100 on a Sunday.

It has to be exhaustion, right? After all, he spent all afternoon yesterday running around after Charlotte in the garden, playing all sorts of games with the rambunctious girl...

And then a full hour and a half trying to get Olivia to go down, the baby too fussy due to colic because John forgot to burp her after feeding.

In his defense, it was hard to focus on burping a baby considering Roxie had sent a vase of Kathy's flying onto the flower while jumping onto the shelf, and Charlotte was running around barefoot.

John brushed his teeth and washed his face in the mirror, running water over his hair as well and rubbing it in with his hands to make him feel a bit more fresh.

Then, still yawning, he made his way down the carpeted stairs to the living room, finding the house... suspiciously quiet, though the TV was on.

Rounding the corner, he found the reason why. Sprawled on the couch laid Kathleen, still in her pajamas and a robe, her hair just barely combed out of the way into a practical ponytail.

The flatscreen TV was playing some sort of cartoon, not very loud, mostly just to fill the silence.

Olivia laid belly down on Kathy's chest, eyes closed and napping, as she tended to do as part of her late morning routine, Kathy's hand holding and rubbing her back gently;

And Charlotte was lying against Kathleen too, her head resting on mummy's chest, sucking away at her pacifier and watching TV quietly, seeming more so like she was about to fall asleep than properly awake, while Kathy played with her short brown hair.

There was something so domestic about it... so heartwarming and safe, of seeing his girls cuddling together on the couch on a lazy Sunday morning...

"Morning, Kat..." John greeted softly, keeping his voice low as he approached, gently pressing a kiss to Charlotte's head, and then one to Kathy's lips, before rubbing Olivia's little head.

"Morning..." Kathy whispered. "There's breakfast for you in the kitchen, love." She told him.

"Thank you. I'll eat in a bit." John replied.

His wife's gaze trailed the way Charlotte reached her hands for daddy, allowing him to scoop her up and bring her to snuggle against his chest as he sat by his wife, surrounded by his girls.

"Lottie, don't you have something to say to daddy, poppet?" Kathleen encouraged in a sweet tone, causing the girl to nod and pull out her pacifier.

"'appy Daddy's Day, daddy!" Charlotte cooed sleepily, her hands grabbing John's beard face before pressing a kiss to his cheek.

"Awww... thank you, poppet..." John replied and pressed a myriad of kisses to his eldest daughter's forehead. "I'm the luckiest daddy ever."

"I have tea reservations at a café..." Kathy murmured as she leaned over to whisper in John's ear, not wanting to disturb both their sleepy daughters.

"Oh, do you?" John asked with a raised brow. "Since when do you care about father's day?" He teased Kathy a bit.

"Since I think you've been doing a... not terrible job at it." She ended up saying, cocking a brow at him playfully.

"Be careful now, Mrs. Price. Going to give me an ego." He quipped, a smirk taking over his lips as she scoffed some more and rolled her eyes at him.

John didn't know how they did it. How they succeeded in both bathing both of the girls, dressing them, showering (and shaving) and putting on clothes (and make-up in Kathy's case) and making it out of the house and to the café in time for the reservation.

But they did.

For once John was wearing a button-up and slacks with boots, and had his beard properly styled...

And Kathy had been able to do her hair, put on make up and put on one of her pretty little blouses and skirts, the ones he hadn't been able to see her wear in ages.

It was unfortunate, how parenthood made it that most of the time, they lived in either their work uniforms or their other work uniforms, aka hoodies and workout pants.

John sort of missed those times when he could put on an outfit like this and take Kathy out to dinner without having to schedule and prepare weeks in advance to coordinate with family who is going to keep the girls and for how long and the routines and the naps and the food and the-

It was a conflicting feeling sometimes.

And it became more conflicting when he pondered his wife.

He left Kathy alone too often. His job was demanding and if before it was the loneliness that he worried would get to her, now, it was the stress.

Leaving her to manage a home, two children under 5, a cat, a career... He felt guilty now, whenever he had to leave.

He worried that every time he stepped on a helo, he would be returning in a body bag, and leaving Kathleen to fend for herself while dealing with the grief, and imagining how she'd have to plan a funeral, and explain death to Charlotte who wouldn't understand why daddy wasn't coming home...

"Daddy?" Kathy called out for him, since they were in front of their children, drawing his attention back to her across the table.

She had Olivia on her lap, the little one banging her small hands on the tabletop, while Charlotte sat to her mum's left and John's right, sipping from a sippy cup.

"Hm?" John beckoned as he raised his tea cup to take a sip, watching her over the rim.

"You're quiet. What're you thinking of?" She prompted.

John shook his head and smiled at her. "About how much I love my girls." He lied.

Kathleen's brow cocked up, knowing her husband too well by now to believe that. "Uh-huh." She nodded, feigning she believed him, her voice dripping sarcasm.

Then, she looked away again, grabbing her own tea cup to sip from, glancing at John with suspicion in her eyes, knowing better than to poke and prod him in a public place...

But her eyes, just as fiery as the day he met her, told him she was not going to let this go very easily.

Sitting in the garden of his parents' house, John watched Charlotte running around after their ratty old dog, Nibbles, while the old pup ran for dear life to get away from the child.

His mother, Virginia was inside preparing dinner for the family, his father Charles currently across the garden, on the phone with his sister Camilla, who had called to wish Happy Father's Day from Mexico.

"How's Lottie doing?" Kathleen murmured as she approached from behind, coming to stand beside the bench John sat at.

He raised his head and turned to look at his wife. The sun was shining on her from behind, hitting her like a halo, and bouncing off her earrings, and her bracelets and her wedding ring...

God, she was such a stunning woman, and he felt like such a knob, leaving her to raise their children alone...

"Love, you have that look in your eye again." Kathleen called his attention, causing him to snap out of his train of thought.

"Sorry." He murmured, watching as she rounded the bench and came to sit beside him. "Is Livvy okay?" He asked her.

"Out like a light." Kathy replied. "Are you okay, though?" She returned the question.

John sighed and nodded, looking toward Lottie again, watching her as she had stopped running and now sat on grandpa's lap, who let her see Aunt Camilla on the phone screen.

"I'm sorry." The Captain ended up saying as he glanced at his wife.

"Well, it's about time," Kathy joked a bit. "But just so we're on the same page, what are you apologising for?"

John scoffed a bit at her this time, but couldn't hide the little smile that formed on his lips.

"Leaving you alone all the time." He ended up saying, surprisingly sincerely. "Missing so much of their lives... Leaving you to take care of them alone... Running yourself ragged..."

Kathleen's eyes softened a bit and she sighed. "It's a part of life, John." She said as she gently patted him on the shoulder.

"It's not. Normal families get both parents in the home all the time, not the father always gone, leaving, and the mother raising the children alone." He replied as he sighed, looking away and resting his elbows on his knees, his hands hanging limp.

"Right. But we're not normal, John. You're a Special Forces operator, I'm an Army Nurse. We're not normal." She reiterated as she leaned forward too, to look him in the eyes. "It comes with being a military wife." She said with a shrug.

John groaned a bit and ran a hand over his lower face, rubbing his mouth and mutton chops with his hand in frustration.

"Besides, are you trying to imply I'm not strong enough to rear 2 daughters all by myself?" She added, her tone feigning offense, which caused John to groan in exasperation.

"Oh shut it." John groaned and rolled his eyes, feeling amused again. "I'm just worried that if I'm gone too much, they'll grow up to be like you, you evil woman." He teased.

"I hope they do. It's already bad enough they have your last name, I'll start a riot if they have your personality too." She added, enjoying the smirk that took over his lips, his mind seemingly less set on his worry about her, about them.

She knew she needed to distract him. He wouldn't in good conscience be able to continue working if he was worrying about his girls back home. It would put him in danger.

"You have my last name too, Mrs. Price. Or did you forget that?" John retorted as he leaned back to look at her, resting a fist on his thigh as he manspread a bit, losing the tension on his shoulders.

Taking his more open stance as an invitation, Kathleen shifted her weight and scooted over, leaning against him and wrapping her arms around him.

"Oh, no, I didn't forget. I was hoping that by taking it, people would start mixing it up and then one day I could just get rid of you and steal your identity." She joked a bit more.

John chuckled this time. "You're such a cunt..." He grunted under his breath as he pulled her in for a kiss, pressing his lips to hers.

"And you're a bastard..." She retorted as she returned the kiss gently and fondly.

She cupped his face after a moment and looked him in the eyes, her brown ones stern and determined, but full of love for him.

"Don't worry about us, okay?" She assured him. "We've got this. I've got this." She nodded at him. "And you're doing a good job as their father." She added.

John's brows furrowed at the reassurance from his wife, the sweetness of her words, so unlike her usual self... And he knew then she meant it, with all her heart.

So, he nodded. He pulled her close and let her rest her face against the breast of his coat, pressing his lips onto the crown of her head.

"I love you." He cooed at Kathy.

"I love you too." She replied.

HI ITS ME CHRONIC PAIN ANON BACK AGAIN... here's my thoughts on who of the human cast is Aware That They Have Chronic Pain Issues. srry ppl were discussing and im like, Wow, Time For Me In Hc Central

june's issues start to really develop and get bad post-game (in my headcanons), so for a long period of time she literally has no one to talk to about it bc she's self-isolating. she eventually tells nannasprite about it when nanna is guilt-tripping her into getting up (nanna voice: Whatever works, hoohoo!), and nanna is like. this is my only granddaughter. i will do whatever i can for her. (i love june & nanna's dynamic. could u tell.) jasprose also is like GIRL!!! You Are In Pain!!! nanna & jasprose team up of the century to get june egbert to Acknowledge Her Problems

dave NO clue NO idea WILL not talk about it. maybe EVENTUALLY tells karkat about it but i don't think she ever seeks out a diagnosis or tries to get one. hes got old ingrained trauma about seeing doctors, which is something he's trying to get over, but like, he already has 4 bajillion other things to unpack about his childhood and healthcare systems are not historically good about chronic pain, a dismissal of their symptoms might set them back in that regard. they're just homebrewing this shit for now.

rose: yeah, she knows. she doesn't talk about it in those terms, though. instead of saying "i have a horrible migraine and cannot get out of bed" she tells kanaya to text the gc that she's afflicted by the Broodfester Woes and cannot join them this evening. theyve sort of picked up by now what that means but she thinks it's funnier this way.

jade: HMMM. i think she put herself through her denial paces but actually i think going grimbark essentially caused her to not feel her chronic pain (a side effect of condy's semi-control over her body), and when she got shunted back into her body she had to face the reality where she DIDNT hurt all the time like wow thats how ppl normally feel? what the fuck????

jane: oh absolutely fucking not does not know. unlike jade, his pain got WORSE during crockertier. yet it still takes literally two decades for him to finally acknowledge that his stuff is NOT normal and the fact that her whole friend group has chronic pain doesn't help, which kind of sucks. jane voice: well sometimes i can get out of bed when i have a headache and rose can't, so clearly its not the same (as if jane doesn't force himself out of bed even when he really shouldnt!!!). roxy has to be the one to tell him.

roxy: yeah she knows it's chronic pain. she's been worried about getting cirrhosis for years, and so has been keeping up to date on her physical health as a result. she figured it out pretty quickly after a couple flareups. trickster mode made it worse for her.

dirk: hal has been telling him for YEARRRRRRRRS that his carpal tunnel is just that, carpal tunnel. and yet. AR: Dirk, if you do not take better care of yourself, you are never going to be capable of building me a body of my own. TT: 1. I'm fine. 2. I'm not building you a body anyways, so the point is moot. anyways he accepts it during the game bc he's like you know what. might as well admit it to myself. good thing, too, because it only gets worse after a couple decapitations.

jake: has pretty much always known, deep down, but like. she lives on an ISLAND. the hell is he going to do about it? no, better not to think about it. someday they'll be able to deal with it, but that day isn't today, and theres so much to do. so he represses it DEEPLY. normal action hero jake english doesn't have chronic pain, of course. she's a heroic manly lead, after all... (the deconstruction of that mindset sort of makes them acknowledge it, though.)

ANYWAYS I JUST RAMBLED AT YOU FOR A COUPLE HUNDRED WORDS HOPE U HAVE, A GOOD DAY/NIGHT/WHAT EVER

YYAYYY no you're so good nonnie thank u forever and ever

Jane Crocker: she is literally the best character best-written character just listen to me

Jane Crocker is more than just a happy-go-lucky 'mom-friend'. In an internet telephone game, we've distorted her character into something that vaguely resembles her actual self. But I, the well-endowed (in more ways than one) am fully prepared to deconstruct her. i am so smat

CW: I talk about sexual assault and misogyny

summers back, ill likely be posting more too :D

Let's start out with the basics, the universal constants of Jane in every interpretation of her, the shit spoon-feed to us: in other words, the first dimension of a character. I'm talking about her appearance and traits.

She's cheery but has a short temper, loves pranks and baking, and was raised in arguably the most constructive setting. Her feet are stuck in the hardened concrete of her morals, beliefs, and view of the world.

She meets every claim with distrust until hard evidence is apparent unless the claim was something she was raised in. Ideas of time travel, the world ending and conspiracies are shot down while she embraces her role as the future Betty-Crocker heiress. Even her hobbies, baking and sleuthing, come from her dad.

She plays the support role, listening to her friends' problems and trying her best to empathize even when it hurts her.

Now that we have that base, we can build on it. Hussie chose to expand on her character in two ways: Trickster Mode and Crockertier.

Trickster Mode is ultimately self-serving; the objective is to have fun and let go. The Alpha Kids (sans Dirk) bounced off the walls in euphoria, minds reduced to love, sex, and fun. Jane tries to resist the lollipop at first but gives in. Previously, she tried to shove down her feelings for Jake but gave in once she reached Trickster Mode. Even though she's ecstatic, this is her breaking point. It's also where everything she wants comes to light. Her empathy and desire to please others are moot.

She ignores Jake's fear, uneasiness, and desire to not fuck nasty and make babies and tricksters him. All after she kicks him in the balls so hard his eyes fall off and he falls off a cliff. Her empathy, one of her most defining characteristics is gone. Don't get me wrong, tricksterization isn't an empathy-remover. It's a dopamine rush that removes any obstacles one might have in front of short-term happiness.

Jane's empathy was holding her back. One of her most positive traits is also her greatest foil. We also see some of her other character traits. Trickster mode doesn't implant desires. Trickster mode doesn't make people want things they wouldn't normally want. Roxy puts it better than I do.

"TG: sure you were trippin balls on a cherub pop TG: but that really just enabled you to do what you really wanted to do deep down "

She pushed her friends to do something they didn't want in a self-centered fuckfest. Specifically, sexual things.

One could make the argument that it was only her lack of empathy during trickster mode that caused her to do be so pushy, that it was nothing but a self-centered blunder in the same way that Jane's infamous comment on Roxy's alcoholism. One could not make this argument with Crockertier in mind.

If you need a refresher, while mind controlled by The Condesce (AKA Crockertier'd), Jane kidnapped Jake for the purpose of having babies with him (sexy sex), regardless of the fact that he's shitting himself at the idea. This wasn't her just being a cold, emotionless robot. Crockertier Jane was fully capable of feeling empathy. Her death was caused because she let her guard down while grieving Roxy. This was also a desire that cropped up multiple times. She was also Crockertier'd, AKA controlled by the Condece, an alien who lived in a culture where people hate-fucked all the time. Jane was pissed at a friend she wanted to bang. Shit happens.

Please keep in mind that while her empathy was still present in her Crockertier state, it was considerably dimmed. She had nothing against fighting her friends and killing innocents. Please also keep in mind that she still wants to do this. She has forced Jake into a sexual situation he did not want multiple times.

To sum it up, Jane's empathy is the only thing keeping her from doing shit to Jake. Her empathy is a powerful and prominent characteristic, but she still wants to "have babies" with Jake. She doesn't care that he's shitting himself at the idea. If there was an AU where Jane was not empathetic and more confident in her herself, then her other morals would not get in the way of her sexually assaulting Jake, or being an asshole. But that is not Jane. Normal-Jane cares deeply for other people and would never do what she did in Trickster Mode (FYI i have not read the epilogues and do not plan to). She would never do something like that normally but is still a dim desire.

(Also also note that you can interpret her character in whatever way you want. Throw my interpretation in that poor Chinese dude's soup or print it out and hang it on your wall. If you read this and decide that Jane is a shitty person, go the fuck ahead. If you read this and think that she's cool, do that too.)

Boom. Full understanding of her conflicting traits. Second dimension unlocked. Cowa-fucking-bunga, dudes.

But why is Jane? Why does she like baking and hot fish ladies? Why does she care so much about others' emotions? The answer is actually kinda boring.

If we compare her childhood to the other characters, it was a lot safer and kinder. She had a good relationship with her dad and never had to face any hint of insecurity about her skills or where she'd end up. She was a future CEO, for cock's sake. Even John, our patron spoiled kid, had a distant father figure who he hated.

Jane was affected by how she was raised just as much as every other character was. She likes baking and sleuthing. Her dad was a private investigator and she was the heir to a pastry company. She's hesitant to accept things that challenge her environment because her personality revolves around it.

One thing that separates her from most of the cast is that she was raised in a standard American Earth home. And she reflected the values of Earth. America says that if you're a woman you must be a mother. Jane practically mothers her friends (as best she can, not well because she is not a mother and is in fact sixteen). In trickster mode, she never said she wanted to sex her male friends up. She said that she wanted to have babies with them.

I still think her desire to get fucking and sucking significantly drove her actions and she censored them because that's not how women in America are supposed to act. Babies were, again, also a factor because of misogyny.

She's heir to a capitalist company that plans to destroy the environment for personal gain. She abstains from swearing like a conservative. She speaks like she's in the 1950s, a time when the American Dream was first introduced and was booming.

Her values work around it. Subconsciously, of course. She's not a crazy alt-right loser. She believes in the patriarchy and that women need to make babies. She puts herself down to help Jake because she believes that is her role as a woman. When Dirk is suggested to be "a homosexual" she acts defensive, like it's an insult - almost as if somewhere deep in her psyche she isn't too fond of gay people. I don't think she's even aware that she's not a good ally. Firstly, she never says that she thinks gay people are gross as if that's a core way she views the world, and a lot of biases are subconscious.

Now I think we can define the second and third dimensions of her character.

Her second dimension is being raised in a conservative environment that was still supportive (if you ignore the Betty Crocker mind control tiara). She's naive because of it. She has republican values and southern hospitality (despite being in fucking Washington) because of it.

Her second dimension is also how she grows past these traits. She grows past her naïveté and skepticism towards things that contrast with her upbringing after being thrust into SBURB, because that world isn't there anymore. She learns to put herself first, or at least somewhere up from last after she realizes that people will treat her like shit if she doesn't stop them.

Dimension three is her morals.

I've already said them, but I can also arrange them nicely.

Jane would never say things like gayness and other things like that are lesser. She would disagree shit like conversion therapy. Still, she still views being gay as something below everyone else. Not by much, but enough to be noticeable. She's probably slightly more uncomfortable with gay relationships than straight ones.

She's a capitalist. I don't need to back this one up. She would see it as immoral to be lazy.

Jane has the subconscious bias that women have to be subservient to men and have babies. She would view it as immoral for her to act towards Dirk and Jake as they act towards her, and to not have kids. Her conversations with Roxy, especially in the beginning of the comic, are much less polite. She's not rude, but she doesn't skirt around saying things that aren't positive (or she might? I've definitely forgotten some of those pesterlogs) around roxy.

She's very altruistic. She views putting others before herself as the moral thing to do. This changes over time, and is her main character development thing.

Haha and please dont use this as actual definitions of one two and three dimensional characters, im not sure what I used is the correct terminology. and please please please if you disagree abt Jane please let me know, I really want to further this discussion!!

[branmuffins22]

YES

...HOWEVER,

While Scott Pilgrim Takes Off (the netflix anime that came out like a week or so ago) is almost certainly the best version, it's unfortunately not made for first-time viewers.

The best way I can think of to describe it is as a high-effort fanfic, with top-tier professional talent behind it. A lot of the jokes and plot beats may zip by with too little explanation or fly over your head entirely if you haven't at least watched the movie first, since a lot of them are direct subversions of what's come before.

The movie is more of a spectacle than anything else, kind of a goofy action romp, and it hits most of the biggest plot points from the comic within 1hr 53mins, but a lot understandably gets dropped or changed for time or marketability. Being a movie from the early 2010s, this unfortunately means all the queer bits are played as a joke, and in Roxie's case, not even a very good joke. Unfortunate, but still not a dealbreaker by any means. When it shines, it SHINES.

The comics are a lot more substantial, but most of the references unique to it are actually exposited properly in the anime, so it's less necessary. Also, in being a series of graphic novels, it's much slower to get through and harder to come by. If you choose to read them, you'll find a very different story with the same characters (an unfortunate number of which will be a lot more shallow), as well as lot of fun batshit worldbuilding that just didn't make the cut in later iterations, but you won't really miss out on much if you don't.

Last and definitely least, there's Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: The Game. Completely unnecessary, but it's still a pretty fun classic sidescrolling beat-em-up, especially if you (somehow) have people to play it with. Technically includes a handful of side characters seen in the anime but not the movie, although the game's hands-off approach to storytelling makes this kind of a moot point.

Comic Roxie: laughs at Scott for not getting it, then has sex with Ramona causing Scott to enter a depressive spiral

Movie Roxie: gets told Ramona being into her was just a phase

Anime Roxie: gets an extended fight scene where the narrative acknowledges her feelings as real and important and reconciles with Ramona, then makes out with the nearest hot girl and walks out of the plot on her own accord

Moot I’m so sorry 😭

But to make a LONG story short

Homestuck starts with Four kids John, Rose, Dave and Jade. They play a game called Sbrub which ends the world with meteors (keep this in mind) . So they have to work together to make a new universe. Along the way they met these 12 aliens named trolls that were in the same situation as them, played the game and all.

But after a lot of chaos the kids and the trolls decide to do a “Scratch” which is basically a full universe reset.

And after the Scratch happens the new players (Jane, Roxy, Dirk and Jake) are the kids previous guardians now 16 in this universe.

Cuz the meteors from earlier carried baby versions of the guardians and the kids, but in the scratch they got mixed up which was intentional.

Then after a lot of chaos and villain fighting the kids and remaining trolls finally win the game and are able to live on their new universe in peace. (if you ignore the semi-canon epilogues lol)

Yeah it’s a lot and I’m sorry about it moot 😵‍💫😵‍💫

Homestuck is like 8000+ pages, has like three games (which aren’t important to main story dw), and an epilogue that no one really likes lmao. It’s totally fine if you don’t understand trust me, there are plenty of people who like Homestuck and haven’t finished it (me) and who did and just didn’t understand any of it.

I left out a LOT of details btw, if you want more details or if this is still confusing feel free to DM me!! ^_^

TLDR: kids play game that ends world, aliens come and help with game, they all reset universe, more kids come and then join game, they win.

unrelated to my CU posts for once but I’m just wondering if it’s not too much of a hassle for anyone to explain what homestuck is an old friend of mine really liked it and I didn’t understand shit and now one of my moots has an AU abt CU and homestuck so I’m very confused and I even tried to watch it and I STILL didn’t understand shit so um if any homestuck fans follow me PLEASE reblog with an explanation I don’t understand anything abt this thing but it sounds really cool

Game Over Review

Yeah, I want to talk about this. I feel like I need to talk about this before I can move on.

Because, even with a fucking GUN, Caliborn and John’s fight seems completely childish compared to everything else that fucking happened.

Damn this hurts. 

I wished that Kanaya finally getting revenge on Gamzee by slicing him with her chainsaw was satisfying. I wished it was. But it got hampered by the fact that KARKAT DIED! Like! WHY!? His anger wanted to get vengeance on Gamzee first, but instead it lead to his death. Being stabbed then burned to lava.

And a Life Player can only revive a person once, so unless they find another Life Player, he’s out.

Not like that matters because the currently Life Player they have now is also dead too. Jane got fucking stabbed in her sleep. By Dirk’s Sword. Jake got stabbed trying to protect Jane. By Dirk’s Sword. They had both a Heroic and Just death because of Dirk’s Weapon, who was only trying to protect them.

And Jake’s life at this point was

Become a Trickster

Died on his death bed

meet his grandma

get captured by his grandma

threatened into a force boytoy sex slave marriage with his mind-controlled friend

meet ghost spider chick who he was crushing on

who them proceed to give him a power boost against his will who took away any ability to process himself

killed by Jane

woke up to just watch a clown beat someone up

only to die trying to protect Jane

And fucking Dave got stabbed too. By Jack Noir. Like his brother. They both died in a sword-fight with Jack Noir. Only this time it’s worse because Dave was trying to protect Jade so his death was heroic.

I think the worst part about that death was that it didn’t need to happen. They didn’t need to fight. They could have been on the same side easily, but the dog’s protective instincts too over.

But Jack carrying Jade to her bed like before when she died. He didn’t even know that she was still alive, he just saw her dead body again.

Then Kanaya just got Blasted with those Sollux death-light beams. So she got obliterated and turned to ash like a vampire in sunlight.

Which lead Rose to snap and try to attack Ferrari, which that ended with her being stabbed. Just like how her Alpha-version died.

And Aranea fucking snapped by this point because she just fucking played herself. Trying to kill Jane, she kills Jake. Meaning that EVERYTHING she had done to everyone here was pointless. Moot. And I guess she hadn’t dealt with loss because her first instinct is to Destroy The Entire Planet With Another Planet! Like, THERE WERE PEOPLE THERE!! She was also going to bring in a second planet if Ferrari didn’t deflect it with the last planet.

So those two managed to just destroy every planet that the kids had.

And as Rose tried to attack so did Terezi, and look at the differences between our two antagonists. Ferrari just yeeted her trident into Rose, in a total Meenah move. But Aranea I would argue was even worse. She controlled Terezi to stab herself. That’s horrific.

And over all, the abuse that Terezi went through at this point is horrible.

attacked and destroyed by gamzee

had her cane be the one to stab/kill karkat

Got blasted away while Kanaya was stuck with the full force

So basically, she was there and present for each of the deaths of her friends, got affected by them. Try to avenge herself against Aranea, only to self-stab herself.

Roxy managed to drag Rose away, so at least those two are together once Rose revives. 

Ferrari and Aranea are now all on it, and good luck to that. I don’t care.

I mean, I care for the point of the story. But it is like villain v. villain right now. I don’t care who wins, because I want to be rooting for the heroes here.

And the only way that I can see out of this is either John or Terezi.

Terezi is the Seer of Mind. She is able to see possible paths into the future right? Well, maybe it can work in reverse. This Terezi could push her experiences/memories back into a past self. I know her computer is fucking important! I’ve been seeing it 6 times already so I know that has to come into play. This has to be it! Why else would Hussie tease us with Terezi’s laptop without actually showing us?

Or John can help out too. He is Beyond Everyone, and outside the story. He can make changes that is needed (or unneeded). And it seems like his zapping abilities is taking longer and longer to zap away. So what if he zaps to Terezi in the past in her Hive before the game and let her know what is going on. Terezi knew John’s name, I didn’t forget that. I thought it was because they all spied on the kids but it could be that John did zap himself into the past.

I’m currently favoring the Terezi route, but I am not going to rule out the John path either. I can’t afford to.

Because what the hell is going to happen now?!

minor AU Completion of the Beta Kid’s Animal Symbolism

so something I’ve always thought about and wondered about, I wanna talk about for a bit, now that homestuck’s over and I’m rereading it going through the story

all of the beta kids throughout the story have unique animal related symbolism, that eventually ties into delving into greater parts of their characters, exploring even what you might consider the “darker side” to their characters, sometimes to the point of representing their inverted states/jungian shadow selves nicely tied into the idea of “lower bestial natures” being at odds with their true human natures

and these culminate and get fully cashed in by tragic/failed alternate versions of each beta kid that gets somehow mixed with their respective animal (usually through sprite shenanigans) and ends up in some way dealing with their inner issues a bit

Jade’s Dreamself (who was always very silly and prone be overemtional) dies under prospit’s moon, gets stuffed, and later resurrected as a JadeBecsprite who represents Jade’s inner tragic emotional states

Dave gets trapped in an alternate timeline with Rose, but then goes back in time after learning the ins and outs of the game, only to sec prototype as Davesprite and earn wings, and then forevers deals with the depression and aftermath of never being “Alpha” Dave ever again

Rose eventually dies in a pre retcon timeline fighting the condesce, and her corpse is thrown into Roxy’s sprite post retcon, which then merges with Jaspersprite to make Jasprosesprite^2 and which post retcon Rose is herself embarrassed by the inner revelations revealed by this character, who has itself lost all inhibitions due to the animal prototyping

but John never really gets anything of the sort, but in reality, there was a GREAT opportunity for him to have something like this happen to him, early on in the story, that doesn’t actually change much of the story at all

so this is kind of a “what if this had happened instead?” minor AU where some minor details were a little different

because the animal candidate I’m thinking of that could have had something to do with John personally in the above way, already has a great setup for this: none of its own character/personality/dialogue as it was just a programmed toy robot, minimal invasion into the plot (and most only in regards to John’s Dad related things), viewed John as it’s sole master and had a nice clean death via Green Sun explosion in Cascade

and that is the Uber Bunny Robot known as Liv Tyler

and the alternate version John candidate I’m thinking of is the John that got tricked by Terezi into facing Typheus too early and getting killed by him, causing the doomed timeline where Davesprite is from

this John also has a great setup for this, because at first we get exactly 5 or so pages describing what went down in the Doomed timeline, and all of it from Dave and Rose’s perspective, we know nothing of what really happened in that John Typheus encounter, other than “John died and thus was unavailable to help Jade enter the game”, we also get a little bit more later, when we see the Ghost of this John have a chat with a dead version of Vriska much much later in the story. John says there was more to his death than he let on, he died, but not in a fight with his denizen, because he spoke with Typheus, and knew that his death was necessary for his friends to live on, he made his Choice to die, for the sake of the timeline

and because this alternate John and Liv Tyler have a huge chunk of symbolism in common, all of which ties directly back to John, and more specifically, John’s opposite aspect Blood

the first is, the same Liv Tyler Bunny plush was given to John by all three of his friend’s on his same birthday through time shenanigans

Dave gives him the original plush rabbit, which is the actual original rabbit from the one nic cage movie john really loves, when John ecto’s all the babies, he dramatically re-enacts the con air nic cage scene from that movie (reunite with your loving wife and daughter) and gives the rabbit to Rose

Rose in this reality grows up with the rabbit as her own sentimental youthful object, its old and torn growing up with her, so she knits it back together using the needles that John gifted to her and gives it to John on his birthday

John then gives this rabbit to Baby Jade in the same reunite with loving wife and daughter scene

and finally, Jade with her then alt universe penpal Jake, send it back and forth, making robotic upgrades and enhancements and equipping it with all kinds of awesome gear:  the Warhammer Of Zillyhoo, the Quills of Echidna, the Royal Deringer, and Ahab's Crosshairs, which match the Strife Specibi of the beta kids. She does this because she foresaw John would be in danger and wanted to send something to help him fight

this rabbit is the literal embodiment of Johns strongest friendship bonds 3 times over, the literal physical manifestation of his Blood

and then Typheus!John is only able to get to Typheus because Terezi through Sollux helped him removed the 3 random objects stuck in his rocket, 3 random objects, that just so happen to be object that appear in Dave’s, Rose’s and Jade’s houses: a cinderblock, a violin and a potted plant

so again, a connection to John’s connection to all 3 of his friends

now here’s where the AU kicks in:

John is still tricked into meeting his denizen early, preserving the timeline with Davesprite and whatnot, however his choice to die to preserve the reality where his friends continue to exist has another part to it

Not only does Typheus allow him to choose to become a ghost to preserve the alpha timeline, but also gives John a sort of challenge, with a potential boon at the end

If John as a ghost can break out of his extra hard dream bubble coma, break out of his memories, remember the choice he made to help save his friends/the timeline, he may be allowed to manifest in a different physical form instead, in order to continue helping his friends/his new alpha self survive the game

all the panels where dead Vriska meets him and helps him to jog his usually hard to jog memory compared to the other ghosts still happen, but the ending is different, because of the extra challenge/boon Typheus gave him. When John remembers fully, he remembers the boon Typheus left him/how to use it, probably something like, a one use portal window thing that transports his ghost back into the physical realm, so he’s kinda in the same state Aradia was as a ghost in Alternia

so he finds somewhere where the uber bun exists, some point before it actually gets to his dreamself on prospit (doesn’t actually matter where)

and then it’s revealed after the fact, that everything Liv Tyler did upon activation at Prospit was actually the choices made by this alternate universe dead spirit version of John

it’s viable because as a robot made by Jade and Jake, it has the ability to potentially house a soul/life, just like Jade’s dreambot for her dreamself (or again, earth version of the tech that Equius made for Aradia, lot of weird Aradia parallels here, but that really only helps this AU) and something that helps is that the bun likely wasn’t built with any way to naturally communicate, no pesterchum in it like lil hal, nor a voicebox, again making a connection to this being a John which has to internally deal with/overcome that he is no longer the “important” John, but this time he’s simultaneously back with all of his friends, and cut off from them at the same time, similar to Davesprite, but also in a having no mouth and must scream kind of way (relating to symbolism of Breath = Speech/communication/mail) being the opposite of his natural element, in an unhealthy place, similar in situation to how Lil Hal was an A.I.  copy of Dirk, a heartless version of a heart player/out of their natural element and having to deal with that negative environmental influence

and it helps explain the few things that Liv Tyler seem to do with no direction, like help get Dad’s wallet containing the tumor (which a John would have recognized as his dad’s and picked up anyway) and getting to Dave Rose and helping them (when it’s stated Liv Tyler was supposed to view John and only John as his master, specifically built that way by Jade for that purpose, to protect John)

the package hes in goes through it’s shenanigans like usual, one minor change could be instead of Jack Noir wielding the bunny against the black queen to get her ring in rebellion, he could simply use one of the many regiswords/assassination requests he apparently gives out like candy, like the one he gave to PM, and the bun merely stays in the box until it’s delivered to PM and then John himself and Bun!John recognizes John and becomes his protector

but then you could just make the point in time that Alt!John merges with the bun the point where Liv Tyler’s allegiances switch to helping John from Jack Noir, so the above is just moot anyway

he stays with John for awhile, then fulfills his major mission in helping get the tumor to Rose and Dave and help them to survive/god tier in the correct time and place/again preserve the timeline, fulfilling the idea of him wanting to come back for the purpose of wanting to keep his friends safe/putting his bonds above his own internal state and self to the point of self sacrifice during the green’ sun’s explosion (again, another point for his blood overpowering his breath)

so yeah, you can see, despite all my text it doesn’t actually change much in the plot! the biggest thing could be Jack Noir not using it for the Black Queen (cuz lets be honest he didn’t really need to, his betrayal would have caught her off guard enough to grab the ring) but really just depends on where you choose to do it

AND instead of this flash: https://www.homestuck.com/story/5027 which was more comedic, we could potentially get a string of panels showing what John was thinking and feeling as the Bun Robot, so close and yet so far away from all his friends, completely alone in his own thoughts and with his only motivation being to make sure his friends survive the game, maybe in thought bubbles or code like Serenity the firefly, showcasing the sort of mental descent and depression that John is really prone to, showing how he could end up in a state where he willingly dies for his friends for their sake

I think it’s a great missed opportunity to be honest and at the very least it’s a very neat little AU Idea

and the way it’s set up would be like an awesome shock reveal too

but then also, John is already compared to nic cage so much it’s not even funny

and John himself makes the symbolic connection between nic cage being just like the rabbit “dirty, worn, old, but it’s what on the inside that counts” simultaneously making that connection to himself when he’s inside the rabbit, because it’s bot his outward appearance that matters, what matters is that He’s still John on the inside, still your best friend guys, I’m right here...

and homestuck has a pattern of turning old jokes into new serious content, so it’s not like it doesn’t fit

and if a few panels are thrown in of a ghostly spirit wandering a bit before settling on the bun inside jade’s gift, it can help establish that Alpha John later would become truly intangible and floating through not just earth, but all of homestuck itself

anyway, those are my thoughts for this idea, I think there’s a lot to go on here

the only thing thats not involved are sprite shenanigans, but If I could find a way to involve those then I would :P

maybe instead of dying at the green sun with Dave and Rose he somehow gets thrown into an sprite somewhere and becomes actual RoboBunJohnsprite (even though everything’s taken already and can’t be altered) maybe it can happen instead of Tavris or GCATavris who knows is BunJohn even survives somehow

shenanigans! shenanigans i say
