#seeing tumblr talk about rap beef is so funny to me.

[resdayn]

seeing people new to rap react to kdots lyrics in his diss tracks will never not be funny. yes he has always been this talented. yes he publicly flayed drake alive this week. yes he is one in a long line of people who absolutely hate that mf

Nice to meet you, entropicbias. I'm televisedanime (better known under my alias televisedanime.tumblr.com). Your johndave work is spot-on and you knock them right out of the ballpark. There's a certain level of versatility to your style and you are both a peerless flower and ingenious innovator in the field of yaoi. Thank you for your contributions. I'm going to keep it concise and get to the meat and potatoes of this ask: do you have any criteria for determining who the goat(s) in terms of homestuck fanartistry is/are? What, in your perspective, makes a veritable juggernaut in the homestuck sphere (or even in a broader sense)?

hello, televisedanime! thank you so much for the commendations. the way you talk about my depictions of them makes me feel like i have a phd in hammertime. i might as well at this point. it makes me super happy to see other people agreeing with my work because this is the one romantic/normal pairing in homestuck that means a lot to me personally, so i feel like i really do get them. i'd be really devastated to hear it if i didn't! ok, to answer your question... i don't really have the time to peruse old homestuck content. i'm trying to, but it's really hard when most of the art i like of one creator is from de-activated accounts and most of the other ones draw incest art on the side. what makes someone stand out for me, is probably mostly in their style. having a really good sense of depicting the characters is equally as important but sometimes people just have art that's like eye candy to me. so, for now, here's a list of homestuck artists that have really stuck with me and are sources of inspiration myself. -unforgivablecontent really great animator. lots of their stuff is on youtube but my personal favorites are the homestuck funnies comps and that tavros dave rap battle.

-radicaldude42/mars-gallavanger great artist, very unique style, and an incredible mspa comic artist.

-vintagefoods has such a phenomenal creative eye. one of the best homestuck artists. i love the use of colors and the eye for great attire.

-deaconblues awesome guy, even more awesome art. great writer and illustrator, i trust him with everything john egbert. that guy just gets him. read everafter on mspfa, the moveout zine, and a big man on campus. he's a brilliant comic artist too. has been on my list of great artists for a good while.

-toreodere talented in every retrospect. toreo nails the homestuck style and to top it off she's like, multitalented. check out her tumblr she does it all.

-feengoid my goat who also has such a unique and fun art style. i love the way she draws and how inventive she gets with her art. she's also really fucking funny.

-pinballhazard ASTOUNDINGLY good artist! an absolute gem in the homestuck community. amazing comic author and has a really unique and weirdly nostalgic style. he's like, a child prodigy i dunno how this kid is 16. -bloobydabloob i don't even want to talk about morris i just want to show you our stupid fucking egg beef.

-tempestousstocking a wonderful artist. been in the johndave community for a while and totally gets it. -leon i forgot his username we all know him also a great artist. i'm running out of things to say i just like his art. -jumblefriend this person is on twitter for all i know but they draw the best nepeta ever. their style is so hilariously good and cartoony. i'd love to see them make comics or something one day they're very talented. michael- i forgot his handle but he makes great music too. hello michael. crazy stuff! -tentapillar/mariboo doesn't make a lot of homestuck art currently. i think they've moved on from their old account too. not sure but their old homestuck art ruled. amazing amazing artist.

if u were a rapper would u shade and diss?

Probably not. Only if somebody had DIRECTLY called me out. Honestly, I’d rather see you in person and talk. Or get your number and call you up if I have a problem. Any two rappers who have some beef have mutual friends and they could get their number to call or have someone send a message to meet them somewhere to talk. So why do you have anything to say on a track?

Like all these people who diss and throw shade on SMTM/other shows or AFTER the show is over, knowing they were all in the same room together like a month ago kinda strike me as whack. You knew you didn’t like them or that you had a problem with something they said back then so why didn’t you address them right there? Like when Kidoh (or I guess Iron) said something about Mino since he mention Kidoh in his SMTM4 diss. If Kidoh really had a problem he could have spoken to Mino right then and there. ANYBODY who he mentioned could have did that so to wait literally a WHOLE year later to respond to one line is just childish. Same with New Champ and Innovator, like my nigga, y’all was on the SAME team together and never said any of that so ??? MyunDo and Loopy. Clearly they probably never really met since Loopy even asks “Who the fuck are you?” in his song but I KNOW they know somebody who could have given a number. And even more than that, we have ALL this social networking you can’t ask your fans or google “Hey, what is so and so’s twitter/tumblr/IG/FB/Snapchat/whatever the hell else username?” and then drop them a message?I personally think a lot of people are just childish and want some clout or want to appear tough so they do that. It’s funny how B.I./Olltii/Bobby/Rap Monster all squashed whatever little beef they had and talked out whatever problem they said they had with whatever the other said but people 3+ years older than them can’t lol.

This is on a tangent but San E for example? I know a lot of people genuinely don’t like him but like I said before, there’s a lot of people who use him as an acceptable target because they know they won’t get too much heat. Whereas if they went for someone else they’d get in hella drama. So they use his name to get more people searching for them but not get into too much trouble. Don’t ask me why nobody who claims to be San E’s “friend” ever actually stands up for him cause that’s something I don’t have an answer to.
