KYRIE: Al? ALPHANEI: There you are. I thought you’d never wake. KYRIE: Wake? No… I’m… I’m dreaming. You’re gone. ALPHANEI: So I am. And you’re losing faith. KYRIE: I don’t know what to do. I don’t know how to help you. Everything feels so out of my control. ALPHANEI: I know. KYRIE: Tell me where you are. Tell me how to find you. ALPHANEI: Not this time, little brother. KYRIE: But— ALPHANEI: It’s like I always told you. The Moon watches over us, and only she knows the way. KYRIE: Don’t give me that nonsense. The Moon has never done anything for us. Even now, I can’t see a damn thing. If it wasn’t for her, we wouldn’t be here. We’d be somewhere else, living normal lives, and you’d be safe. ALPHANEI: Is it really true that she gives us nothing? Do you think you’d be happier never knowing them? KYRIE: I… ALPHANEI: It’s not a perfect life, but it was ours. KYRIE: We deserved better. ALPHANEI: So many of us do. Do not forget what drives the Selenehelion, truly. All those wishes longing to be granted. I know you hear them, too. KYRIE: And all the pain? All the suffering it’s caused? ALPHANEI: Mm. Remember it, Kyrie. When the time is right, you will find your way to me.

kirbytober day 20

I haven't seen a lot of the anime, but I really like seeing the chill and fatherly side of Dedede, regardless of the continuity or whether he is possessed or not so. I guess Episode 55 gets the title of "favorite" for now

I'm actually v excited for you all to see the smut fics I'm writing because besides this being a completely new writing project that's kind of uncharted territory for me, I can genuinely tell how my writing has improved and I'm just. Proud of these smut fics y'know :')

[celestialmudd]

I might tell my advisor I won't meet my soft deadline :(

Which is okay, actually, because our hard deadline is Jan. 20/25. And she's amazing and would say something like "i wasn't expecting you to finish by Dec. 31"

But damn. I really wanted 150 pages by the end of the year, and i did no novel writing this week. I think it shows i really really need a break, but I also don't want to turn around and write 90 pages in January

People will never stop buying into this garbage because you can't even make them realize Skyrim is just a box filled with thirty kinds of vendor trash and a new slightly better weapon every fifteen minutes, how can you make them realize that the only reason these games are so unique is because Bethesda actively tried to murder any company making them

HAAAAANK! DON'T PREORDER STARFIELD! YOU KNOW IT'S GONNA BE FULL OF BUGS ON DAY ONE! HANK YOU KNOW THEY CAN'T FILL 1000 PLANETS WITH CONTENT IT'S ALL GONNA BE GENERIC MISSIONS! HAAAAAAANK!!!!!!

Holy shit I love your Dirk interpretations, it's so true and I could talk about this shit forever. I feel like another part of his character that people seem to forget (along with Roxy for some reason) is that he's from the future in solitude in an apocalyptic wasteland. I just see that part of his character always removed which is disappointing because I feel like that's a pretty big part, especially regarding his themes around technology, his brother's theme of Time, his own isolation, and how he plays in the vastness of the universe and spacetime.

Art I drew related to the subject because I like to respond to asks with art.

But absolutely. I certainly understand where the lack of discussion over his isolation + upbringing comes from, considering a majority of the fanbase that I have seen builds their ideas based on their own version of postcanon. I’m not entirely sure how that would be fixed, but certainly even in the somewhat recent past I would see a lot more content regarding his upbringing both literally and symbolically. I don’t have much to add regarding the things you’ve mentioned, because they just are what they are. Dirk being confined to a singular room left to him by a father figure he never met, in a future where the only other person left on the planet is someone he cannot pursue a relationship of because of himself, with purely 3 robots to keep him companion, one being an exact replica of his own brain who is *also* trapped inside a pair of glasses, is about as literal as it gets to me.

The contrast to me involving the flooded, organic world in comparison to the little speckle of Dirk’s apartment packed with the dude and his technics is not only a representation of his isolation and entrapment within himself, but also of his lack of control. I think his obsession with & themes of control are a direct product in the case of Dirk specifically *of* this kind of upbringing. His themes of technology are also related to his themes around control. So much of his character is actually revolved around this to me like so much. Dirk is so deeply disconnected from humanity in every way and so much of his character + symbolism is based around that.

It doesn’t even have to be about the symbolism or anything though. It’s just pretty *interesting* in the literal sense that he lives in the middle of the ocean in the future. There’s not only a lot to theorise on to do with his young life there, but on how it might affect him in the way he acts for the rest of his life. The latter part is probably what I see mentioned the most by people talking about Dirk regarding this, I’m surprised I don’t see more discussion on the former too though. I really ought to actually talk more about Homestuck stuff on here. I will do it myself.

Roxy & Dirk’s relationship is largely ignored though because there is a narrative a certain demographic spreads that Dirk resented and blamed Roxy for her interest in him, and thus too many people believe that their relationship was or would continue to be an abusive one. Realistically, I believe it’s important to acknowledge that the way Roxy treated Dirk regarding his homosexuality wasn’t right while still acknowledging the obvious amount of respect and admiration Dirk had for Roxy. I mean we have a huge piece of dialogue from their post trickster mode conversations on the quest beds from Dirk purely stating how he feels about Roxy that people completely ignore somehow. I think this usually happens to characters that are women though. I know everyone says it, but it is true. Jane gets the exact same treatment of boiling her down to solely her negative aspects. The things I see completely mischaracterising both of them are horrific.

I mean how much more explicit can it get that their relationship is obviously very important to Dirk? But I digress. I think the best or I should say “most interesting” interpretations of their relationship usually come from DirkRoxy shippers actually.

I would be interested to hear about Dirk’s relation to his brother’s theme of time though. I don’t have any thoughts on this and I don’t recall ever hearing anyone talk about it before. If you or anyone else would be willing to enlighten me I’d be thrilled.

hey, don't cry

tumblr is the new pdf! ok?

[merlyn-bane]

i can't understand people that love cody but don't like mace or luminara. they would literally be best friends. cody and mace have the best curated book club and reading list you've ever seen and talk shit about about the core worlds theater scene together and cody and luminara have spreadsheet dates and commiserate over their siblings refusing to ever use the fucking shared spoogle calendar. they all tell the driest jokes you've ever heard and they are the funniest motherfuckers in the galaxy. i know these to be facts. open your eyes. see the light
