#whats karkats girl name...

[faygos]

*beastie boys voice* GIRLS

[aradidnt]

mmmmmwah!

[zincbotted]

passed 3000 pages of homestuck. we're doing this. we're making this happen

[thewertsearch]

During his penance, it was said the Sufferer's compassion for his people underwent a divine transformation, into limitless, burning rage.

I would expect nothing less. He might be a hero, but he’s still a Vantas.

It burned hotter than the irons shackling him to the imperial flogging jut, and redder than the blood soaking his Righteous Leggings.

You hear that, Karkat?

Those are holy garments that you’re wearing. Respect them.

When he was finally killed, his anger rung through the cosmos with his last breath. This Vast Expletive was his final sermon, and somewhere encoded in its wavelengths was the truth in his teachings, waiting to reveal itself to any who would inherit his burden.

Some day, the grand legacy of Karkat's bloodline will arrive in his heart – and if I’m not mistaken, it will arrive as the loudest FUCK that our boy has ever heard.

This is exactly the kind of awakening that Karkat deserves. 10/10.

His teachings would also persist through surviving disciples, but in hushed tones.

Redglare was born long after the Sufferer’s tale was censored out of existence, but these Pyropes are savvy girls. I'm sure the Neophyte was wise enough to question her planet’s bloody history, and sneaky enough to seek out like-minded compatriots under the Grand Highblood’s nose.

It seems like she even knew enough to predict the location of her own descendant’s hive, and gifted her a dragon that I’m willing to bet was kin to her own. An unsung hero of the previous age, for sure.

His following would dwindle to an obscure cult facing persecution for centuries.

Surely he’s not talking about Gamzee’s cult? Those clowns are all about the hemospectrum, and certainly wouldn’t heed the sermons of some bleeding-heart redblood.

Maybe the Juggalo cult is technically a splinter of Sufferism, but its founder’s message has been corrupted beyond all recognition, to suit the needs of those in power. We should all be thankful that such a disturbing concept has only been explored in fiction.

The Sufferer preached that after he passed, another Signless would come, heralding the end times for their planet. The Second Signless would continue his work, and lead his people to glory beyond this realm. The followers kept his teachings alive for ages, even as the uproar surrounding the movement subsided. By modern times, the Sufferer's scripture was little more than ancient superstition all but forgotten. Hardly the anathema of old. But the followers had already made their preparations in the shadows, and when the Second Signless finally came he would have a lusus to raise him and a sign to his name.

You hear that, Karkat? You were never really alone. If anything, you were the most loved troll in all of Alternian history – loved by trolls who would never meet you, but who worked for centuries to ensure that you’d be born safe.

That you’d have your Crabdad.

...alright, what if I just cried.

GOOD NIGHT

[runawayfuture]

ok inspired by the post i recently reblogged, here's what i DO know about homestuck:

It's a webcomic, and the characters are kind of aware of this? I think? They mess with the medium in various ways

Different characters speak in different fonts and use 1337/leet-speak in unique but consistent ways

The characters are all trolls except for a couple of humans. Trolls have different blood colors which forms the basis of their social caste system

Each troll is associated with (inspired by?) a specific zodiac sign

Vriska the troll, who is a Scorpio, is the world's greatest poor little meow meow who has done 700 million atrocities and is sorry about approximately 0 of them. She also maybe had to kill all her siblings as a child in order to survive? God forbid women do anything.

There's a troll named Karkat who is snarky.

There's a human who is sometimes a boy and sometimes a girl? John or Jane or June or something like that.

Dave Strider, who is miserable and traumatized, has to kill his brother (who is also his dad somehow?) with a sword, and then he does an awesome kickflip about it. I have a sneaking suspicion that he would probably be my blorbo and I'm not sure what that says about me.

There's also a character named Roxy who is an absolute sweetheart and has never done anything wrong in her entire life.

Romantic and platonic relationships are categorized by playing card suits for some reason? One of the four recognized relationships is two people in a dysfunctional polycule who fucking hate each other to the point where the third person regularly has to intervene in order to stop them from killing each other.

The main enemy in the story is a video game. Or, like, the concept of the fictional narrative. Or the author. Or some kind of interdimensional eldritch monster that wants to eat the universe. Or something along those lines.

[borzoilover69]

I have a headcanon on how these guys style themselves postgame and you WILL hear me out.

Kanaya, Roxy, and Jade are self explanatory. They know how they want to present themselves. They know how to go forward with that. They’ve got colour combos and layering and fashion choices suited to their particular style IN THE BAG. Loud, prominent, they know whats up.

Jake, Calliope, and Jane get nudged into giving a fuck about fashion by anyone named above, or rather their own desire to dress up…Jake moreso because as a celebrity he gives too much of a fuck about his image to be anything less. Callie of course is affectionate enough with jade and roxy that they teach her how to style and i think she would like lolita and more daintier feminine stuff than roxy, but she does tend to sometimes switch over to suits. Jane is pure butch energy she dresses like a guy but as a girl with fashion sense. Like strict lesbian style. I dont know how else to fucking put it she would dress like how a butch lesbian would.

Jane and Jake stylewise would be similiar to some retro callback summer movie where everyones on a roadtrip in a yellow van or something except jake is more prone to extravagancy because he gives more of a fuck. Also one of them is wearing dresses and its NOT Jane.

Dirk and Rose.. fashion disasters. Dirk doesnt know fashion weight for a while and tries too hard id even suspect that he would try and mimic daves fashion style for a while until john or someone else blatantly calls him out in an offhand comment and jake and the rest of his friends start getting on his fucking case about being so bland with his fashion takes (all primaries, little to no patterns, basic, no layering.) that he caves and starts taking it like a personal challenge to style well.

At some point he has a revelation and realises he can get piercings and starts leaning into that and punk / gothish fashion. Black with complimentary colours recommended by friends.

Rose is sort of a fashion trainwreck like for all of kanayas nudging she doesnt really give a fuck and kanaya starts dictating her outfits and then of course she also gets the "someone makes an offhand comment that makes them mald really hard about it and go into a snooty onesided competition to prove they GET IT actually and that you were TOTALLY wrong about them not GETTING IT." Its the only way Dirk and Rose start caring.

Terezi and John get nudged around by their respective compadres about fashion sense and style, but they generally dont give a damn and have their own thing going for them. Theyve got their own vibe and style that feels well on them and especially terezi wise i think she would lean into the fashion disaster for fun. As long as the colours taste well together, who gives a damn about layering etc etc. throw in some crocs with a suit. An oversized shirt with a tapered skirt. Who cares. John is more tried and true but he styles out ENOUGH so he doesnt end up in the last (deorgatory) category.

Dave and Karkat are the real stubborn contendors of the friendgroup fashionwise. Baggy on baggy outfitwear. WILL get on your case if you point out had it not been for their respective colour choices they basically dress the exact same. Same mix of cargo pants, sweatpants, tracksuit pants, hoodies, and tshirts to keep them going for the lifetime. There js nothing else. Whats layering. Accessories? Well except for a watch hard pass. Patterned clothing? No way. Basic colours ONLY. Maybe Dave would dig long shorts ive always seen him as a longshorts kind of guy but its never anything noteworthy. Type of guys to choose what theyre wearing with their eyes closed thats how basic their closet is.

Anyways thats my style and fashion thoughts. Let me know what you think. Discuss and all that. Also tag yourself on which one youre closest to stylewise. Im jake. Obviously.

[pointless-discourse]

homestuck characters as related to trans stuff

head canon

JOHN EGBERT

closeted repping tgirl who will likely not realize she's trans until after 16

avoids mirrors, unhappy with appearance but tries to avoid looking at it

gets dressed in the dark

once she comes out she's gonna dress like the most hideous anime girl for the first few months

like goes HAM

her fav nerd shirts paired with a weird fucking skirt but eventually it looks really good just because of how much time she spends on it now that she likes how she looks

DAVE STRIDER

cool cis guy that will respect the pronouns

will treat people the same regardless of transness

goes down the transfem nonbinary any pronouns route in mid 20s

unfathomably chill

JADE HARLEY

divisive subject. either cool nerdy tgirl or closeted trans guy

tgirl jade puts a lot of effort into dressing for the sake of mirrors

doesn't necessarily look GOOD (ultranerd furry island social recluse) but she looks intresting

however tgirl jade doesn't voicetrain and not only is her voice kinda clocky but also very hoarse from lack of use

closeted transguy/transmasc nonbinary jade is very online and performative feminine stuff until he realizes in his late teens he's trans

does not learn what trans is until late teens, very in sheltered parts of the internet despite being very online

was out online years before he came out irl

third option: chill cis girl who, during

ROSE LALONDE

terf

no hate to rose she is one of my top three characters in all of homestuck but she is very terf vibes

she spends a lot of time "debating" with trans people online (harassment) and frequents a lot of terf forums

i think that after a few years of earth c and maybe meteorstuck she grows past it and eventually to her it's not a fight she's proud to be the lead general of but a phase she's really embarassed of, much like her other silly 13 year old traits

i also really like tgirl rose, not for character basis but i think its cool and i (obviously) love trans headcanons

KARKAT VANTAS

i am very divided between ftm and cis guy.

cis guy karkat is cool, he's very much just some guy who's comfortable in his "girly" hobbies and, while isn't really tied into his physical appearance, isn't dysphoric and is just a little insecure

however: humanstuck karkat will always be trans in my mind, just for the persecution bit, although i would also buy ethnically-middle-eastern adopted into a white american family karkat

he'd be a truscum or just kinda shitty to nonpassing trans people i think, we've seen how many alternian empire boots he licks so conforming to the status quo as a pick-me minority is not above him

again i think he would grow out of it in his later teen years/early 20s (like in the comic) but i don't ever see humanstuck karkat escaping the eternal shame that kind comes with being trans

ARADIA MEDIG0

ily weird unnerving tgirl aradia she is like so that to me. she reminds me of the boymoder NEET memes i see chronically online trans girls on reddit posting

but also i do equally enjoy weird girlboss cis girl aradia

either way she is far too etheral to be bothered with gender stuff

like you could come out to her with sixteen hard to pronounce xenos, pass so badly you unearth masculinity/feminity so prominent it burns to the touch, and she would not give a single fuck. and she would never mess up with pronouns and shit

tAVROS nITRAM

i see her as a hardcore deep deep in the closet repper tgirl as like a core part of my interpretations and yet i can never imagine her coming out

like i just see her boymoding forever

not really? like i think it would happen eventually i just can't visualize it

hypothetically i could see her being one of those cool goth girls named lilith but it seems very removed from the original starting point

2OLLUX CAPTOR

repping tgirl or amab nonbinary or just plain cis

either way still horrifically greasy and that will never change

there is no self reflection that will even vaguely incentivize sollux to maintain his hygeine

:33< NEPETA LEJION

cis girl

maybe comes out as ftm in 20s? if trans, i could also see nepeta repping till death

like just a weird cis girl who is like "oh, you're trans? just like in my warrior cats rp discord server!"

again, gives more of a fuck about gender than aradia but it is close

she just cares if you will listen to her talk about her ships and art

nepeta is the type of person where it might take her a while get the new name and stuff right

"HER PRONOUNS ARE THEY/THEM!"

but she would be your staunch defender

KANAYA MARYAM

eh? nothing strong here, i don't really have a hc for her

but there is a lot of mtf symbolism in the comic and i do enjoy that

like a socially awkward youngshit who's not out to many people because she can't really bring herself to correct people in public but still has a really passing voice even after first coming out

bad facial dysphoria

do like her as intersex. feels right

TEREZI PYROPE

nonbinary

no genders, all the genders, new genders, old primal genders, everything

both simultaneously afab and amab but not intersex?

the living embodiment of androgyny

probably has a very long list of neos/xenos but is any pronouns

you cannot misgender her. hes too cool.

VRISKAAAAAAAA SERK8!!!!!!!!

transgirl transgirl transgril

literally not even a headcanon at this point vriska is a trans girl and that is that!!!!!!!!

if you disagree im kickng your ass so hard it comes out of your mouth. your days are numbered and that number is 0. (not 8 :( )

EQUIUS

option one: cis gymbro chaser.

he sleeps with trans men to steal their t shots

in the streets he'll occasionally say the weird shit but i know he'd be crankin his hog to futa/cuntboy shit by night

option two: trans girl

never comes out because of insecurity but indulges in long hair and the occasional skirt in private and then feels really bad about it

option three: insane roided trans man

t gave him big muscles and big sex drive

option three poiont 5.

racist sexist homophobic nonbinary

like drops the most despicable shit in conversation and finsihes it off with "my pronouns are actually they/them), like one of those nazi femboys

GAMZEE MAKARA

does not gaf

cis (? idk) guy who is fine with any pronouns and crossdresses for fun

i guess not technically cis? but still identifies as a man when it comes down to it. like barely guy

FEFERI PEIXIES

cis girl who is a little infantilizing

if you're transfem she will give you makeup tips

but still a little hugboxy

"oh no you totally pass even though you're 8'100 and have a full beard! women come in all shapes and sizes!" (not shitting on the made up trans girl here, passing is fucking hard and it has no bearing on personal worth)

JANE CROCKER

jane is a repping/closeted trans man and you can pry this from my cold dead hands

the mustache? the projection onto only male figures?

also i think its fun with jane's ties to the girls-only fuchsiablood club that he ends up a dude

also st4t janeroxy my beloved

DIRK STRIDER

gonna be honest here no strong leanings

i am a firm believer that estrogen would save her but i dont really think of dirk as anywhere on the gender spectrum

maybe just cis dirk? i could buy cis dirk

JAKE ENGLISH

one one hand i would like the transmasc rep being not restricted to hairless twinks and i would enjoy ftm jake that way

transmasc nonbinary jake is an insane concept to me but i do find myself intrested

a little iffy on the trans headcanons (especially transmasc) because a big part of the concept of jake english is that he's a big strong man who takes on the literary role of an objectified girl character and having him be

ROXY LALONDE

ex twinkhon femboy now BDD gigapassoid

literally one of the most gorgeous trans women you will ever meet

creating e substitutes in her laboratory since age 12

again not even those most immersed in trans culture and the ways of clocking would be able to tell thats how good she is

her speaking patterns hail solely from those cutesy minecraft/unboxing youtubers she religiously watched as a small child

however she is fully convinced that she doesn't pass for shit so she believes that every genuine complement and people treating her like a woman is just them being nice

she'll attempt to boymode and go "stealth" in scenarios where she doesn't want to be visibly trans but it fucking backfires because everyone assumes she's ftm

DIRK STRIDER

trans man with literally no basis because my dirk-themed friend is also a trans man

4channer transman robotics nerd dirk my beloved

DAMARA MEGIDO

transfem ig? or cis woman

very girl adjacent

idk i dont think about the dancestors much

RUFIOH NITRAM

cis man

MAYBE trans man

i am also cool with that

MITUNA CAPTOR

cis man

MAYBE transfem nonbinary

KANKRI VANTAS

trans man because very few cis men were tumblr "SJW"s

and he reminds me of of some chronically online trans guys i used to hang around

also hes very fuckign petite and girls and feminend and twinky dinky and im just projecting my dysphoria onto him sorrie kankri fans

MEULIN LEJION

cis fujo girl

when she discovered trans men she was like 'YAAAAAS MPREG'

will respect your pronouns and shit but is VERY HORNY

lowkey chaser that will also date cis people

PORRIM MARYAM

two choices: cool goth transbian or lesbian terf

cool goth transbian is the nice one. first off, she looks a lot like some transfem transition goals ive seen online.

second, cool feminist could also be trans rights and trans people are kinda forced into being political

third, being flat as a board could also be interpreted as her just not having tits (tho she does seem like the type to DIY HRT)

TERF porrim (correct): first, a lot of "feminists" turn out to be bitchy to trans people

second, her activism for groups she's a part of and groups she likes is good, but she really infantilizes kankri, and considering that's the beforan equivalent of hemoracism, if trans people didn't fit her motto she would not hesitate to shit on them

LATULA PYROPE

cis girl. maybe she/they

ARANEA SERKET:

trans girl serkets trans girl serkets

would also buy cis girl that makes you wonder if she's actually a repressed ftm because some of her actions are a littttttttle suspicious

HORRUS ZAHHAK

cis man who ends up hanging out with a lot of trans women anyway due to shared intrests in hyperpop and furry stuff

again very respectful, very small chance that he's chaser-y

KURLOZ MAKARA

i honestly do not know and this isnt because i dont really care about his character, it just evades me

transcends gender

could be cis woman, fuck if i know. i'd buy that

all and neither a gender above our human comprehension

CRONUS AMPORA

trans man that proves tboys are real men because they can be just as creepy and awful as cis men

thinks him being trans means he's immune to all types of discrimination

uses it a pity point/to get out of stuff

MEENAH PEIXIES

maybe tgirl? idk

may just be cis

possibly transmasc nonbinary

tho i lean mostly towards cis woman whos gnc and actually cool with trans peopel (be aware she will still groom them tho)

equal opportunity grooming

CALLIOPE

technically transfem anyway because her body isn't sexed so shes kinda intersex

but even if she wasnt a cherub she would still be transfem anyway

chronically online transgirl who spends most of her time in internet spaces with cis girls of her same age

warrior cats fan

humanstuck calliope hung around the warrior cats girls since elementary and never left

CALIBORN

evil trans man

transmasc for same reasons as calliope

humanstuck caliborn avoided all female socialization because he didn't socialize and instead spent his formative years on 4chan

the nature of the /lgbt/ board probably gave him some shame about being ftm

DAD EGBERT and crocker as well, very similar people

cis man who is a staunch ally

MOM LALONDE

cis ally

she's trying? can't say anything more

will occasionally and unintentionally say some out of pocket shit about trans people she knows when drunk

will mess up the pronouns a lot because very scatterbrained

GRANPA HARLEY:

cis man who lowkey fetishizes trans people

straight but fucks non-passing transmen because he doesn't see them as men

trans women are some exotic fetish

if jade came out he would repair his ways tho

NANNA EGBERT

transphobic

not even a terf because she has beef with feminists

but again if john or jane came out she would badger them at first but her love would win out and she would change her views

BRO STRIDER

personally i see him as a cis man but i think trans man bro strider is cool and also an icon

DIRK'S BRO:

cis bisexual man who is cool with trans people

ROXY'S MOM:

cis woman who is in a fucked up evil messy situationship with a transgirl

will trans rights

GRANDMA ENGLISH:

either a. elder trans woman

or b. cis woman (a little nonbinary) who is accepting

does not know the terminology

"oh so you want to live as a woman now? alright, i suppose. i had a friend like that back in college"

HIC:

evil elder trans woman who has an illegal diy hrt empire

will sell out the trans community if it benefits her

grifter

LIL CAL

i dont know it s scary

[davekat-sucks]

so ironic coming from people who shout cringe culture is dead. double ironic in how they wanna drop the lol so random quirky furry girls (who are often headcanoned as neurodivergent and what other labels that can be churned up) for the angry male character who insulted one of them as autistic (granted nearly every homestuck character has used ableist language i just find it funny how much karkat having a yaoi boy status make people ignore this) and even took this statement as her canon neurodivergency. hs fans really love fighting for the most terrible classist/casteist women alive who are the types of pick mes they claim to hate and shit on the women who theyd probably find to be more agreeable and actually relatable in addition to complaining about men yet fighting and dying for a man/male characters. can you name a fandom more backwards?

Kind of want to say Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss fandom. And their excuse is from Vivziepop that one series is female-centric (Hazbin Hotel) while the other is male-centric(Helluva Boss) as the reason why the fandom can get upset if the female characters don't get much spotlight unless they are lesbians, but still love said series for the yaoi.

[if-loki-was-a-fox]

@juiceboxxjamie @rhyme-draws-stuff

Rhyme wanted to see these too, so I'm making this a separate post.

Based entirely on the fanarts I've seen on my dash, or what Rhyme has told me of plot points — my current impressions and speculations on the Homestuck characters:

Karkat is angry and insecure and a little tsundere. He really wants to be cool and awesome and have people look up to him, but instead he just thinks everyone else is cooler than him so he gets very loud about it

Nepeta is maybe your typical catgirl/fangirl type character? Cute and feisty, maybe kinda nosy and pushy. I could probably draw her with some level of accuracy from memory, but I don't have a very deep impression on her personality or story

Either Eridan or Equis (I think it's actually Eridan but I had him crossed with Equius as Nepeta's moirail(?)), going almost entirely off of his design and nothing else I have the mental image of his as the sort of stern, thinks their so smart, often kinda suave and hot character archetype, except he'd come off as more full of himself than hot

Gamzee? I think? Is the purple clown guy? And I have been imagining him as like. Off-putting. In a hard to describe way. Maybe like a middle aged alcoholic sort of vibe. His clown make up makes it look like he has a five o'clock shadow. I think everyone's thirteen in canon tho so like.

Vriska is manipulative (and violent maybe? I've heard all trolls are kinda violent tho) and needs to be the center of attention. Maybe kind of an evil mastermind type character, but like, in a misunderstood maladjusted thirteen year old girl way. Maybe more just a toxic friend or bully. Unsure. She's definitely got something complicated going on with the whole morality thing given her reputation. Is she Terezi's girlfriend? Who also blinded her? Oh and she's also a pirate. And maybe obsessed with legacy and family?

I don't think I know any of the other trolls well enough to have impressions of them. I just looked at an image of all the trolls and I had so many of their names and faces crossed. Apparently Aradia and Terezi are different characters. And so are Kanaya and Vriska. And Equius and Eridan, but that already came up.

Actually I did kinda know Kanaya and Vriska were different I just assigned them both the same face/hair. Kanaya is Rose's girlfriend? She's the most human-typical-feminine of the trolls, and also a lesbian, and that's just about my entire impression of her.

One of either Kanaya, Vriska, or Terezi used lipstick as blood one time. And another one of them thought it was super hot

Looking at their sprites, Sollux and Equius both look like the kind of gamer guys who get told to use more deodorant. I think Sollux has more card gamer who is constantly explaining the rules and niche plays to people who don't really care but are to polite to tell him to shut up vibes. Partially because the last name "Captor" sounds like an on the nose name for a pokemon card game player

Jane is like. Nice? But also cool. And nerdy. And lonely. Very lonely. She's like, even more homeschooled and an orphan than the rest of them. I kind of think of her as a fairly typical nice kinda nerdy girl character, but also very much able and willing to kick you if needed. She's another one I could draw better than I could explain her personality

Dave is cool. Theoretically probably not legit-cool, because everyone here is thirteen. But he wears fancy sunglasses and I think he's also the guy from that one backflipping-off-the-sword post ("motherfucking pirouette of the handle" I think is what rhymes said). Also his brother sucks so bad and he doesn't realize this until super far into the story. I kinda think of him as everything Karkat wishes he was, given what little I know about the two having something going on with them. But he's also still thirteen. So like. He's still not actually that cool he's just good at faking it. He's also the edgy teen kind of cool so he's maybe kinda offensive sometimes

Rose and John I have actually met and remember from the not even two hundred pages of Homestuck I've actually read. Rose is a lot more faux psychologist than I expected I think I expected her to be more of a legit put together big sister friend sort of character. John has actually been pretty much exactly how I expected him to be so far. He's kinda cute tbh, his smiley faces are adorable

There's also like, the whole alpha/beta versions of the cast? But I only know Roxy from that so I'm not gonna do any of them

[jasontoddspussy]

Are you trans? If so... How'd you find out...? I'm so confused all the time recently.

Holo there::)

Yeah, I am. It's not something I'm very public about, but I am. I started to medically transition, or well, the process for it, more than a decade ago at this point. In my country things were less accessible back then, basically only one place in the entire country took trans patients, and even then it wasn't people trained to work with trans people. Now, there's gender-centres that takes trans patients and helps them with their goals. These centres were established in early 2018.

I know a few trans people aside from myself (well. Most of my friend group's some flavor of trans lol), trans women, men, enbies... And while our identities are different, how the ''egg cracked'' so to speak are similar.

How I found out? Well, uh.

Through Homestuck fanfiction. As a kid however I loved stories when characters would ''genderbend'' but was still treated as their actual gender. As a young teen and pre-teen I watched *a lot* of genderbend anime. I was like surely this means nothing ::)

I had no idea what transgender/sexuality even meant. Which was kind of funny, because the person I lived with who was supposed to be my guardian was queer. I didn't grow up with gender norms or romance norms, I was both girly and tomboyish and I had a nickname based on a swedish troublemaker (Emil Lønneberg) because I was a troublemaker very similar to him, I guess. I loved it when people would compare us.

As a preteen I tried to fit in with the girls in my neighborhood. I wore make up. I dressed like them. But I was always more comfortable with my sweatpants and t-shirts. I always ended up playing with the boys, anyway. I felt wrong. Now, this is just my experience, and that doesn't mean it's true or similar to every trans person out there.

When I read that fanfiction though, which was about Trans Karkat figuring out he was trans, I was like. What does transgender even mean? Why do I... relate to this? And so I looked it up.

I was honestly pretty scared. I didn't want to be trans. I didn't want to be different.

But I was. I talked with some online friends about it, back then, and they supported me. For a while, i entertained that I was non-binary, but that didn't fit. Then agender, but that didn't fit, either.

In the end, I realised I was the most comfortable being masculine in my gender with He/Him at the time. It hasn't really changed.

My teenage years were... Interesting. I didn't really have a lot of support IRL. I went to my Dr for a referral for gender therapy, and she laughed in my face. I felt humiliated.

I didn't come out to anyone IRL at first. I told my brother, because he and I were close. But he didn't understand what it meant, and cut me off for a year. It took him a while but he eventually became one of my biggest supporters.

I was in dorm school at the time and I ended up forming a friend group of other guys. They knew but didn't really respect it. I tried to emulate them a lot, I tried to get the teachers to respect me but it didn't work unfortunately. I was struggling a lot, because I really, really wanted IRL support. My partner at the time supported me when I told him about how I was feeling - But I felt incredibly guilty and ashamed, I had a lot of pent-up inner transphobia and homophobia about my situation. To me, it felt like making him use my name and he/him, call me his boy-friend was asking too much, i was being selfish and greedy and bad.

I stopped telling people I was trans, didn't really talk to anyone outside my online friends.

I did find friends who respected me though, and I met one of my best friends, Satan, like this. I did grow a friend group, all of which are now queer, unsuprisingly, and I'm very happy about it.

Now as a teenager, pre-HRT, things were shitty. I won't lie. It doesn't mean it'd be shitty for you - But it was for me.

I hate my body. I hated it so so much I wanted to destroy every inch of it. It was wrong. It was Dirty. I always got compliments about the ''nice'' things about it - I had an hourglass figure and big boobs, I was such a pretty ''woman'' and I *hated* it with a passion. I didn't want people to see my body. I didn't want to see my body.

I've been on HRT for a while now. Coming April, it'll have been 5 years. HRT has made me so, so much more comfortable with my body. I can't say I love myself or my body, but I have broad shoulders, facial hair, a deep voice and I just look so much more masculine. It feels *awesome* to just see what I feel, to be met as a man without having to ask for it.

And that's what it really boils down to.

Comfort.

If you want advice about how to find out if you're trans and exploring your gender, that'd be it. Try and experiment, be masculine, feminine, androgenous, a mix- Whatever you want. What feels comfortable? Try use different pronouns, how's it make you feel? If someone, idk, said "Hey, she's coming?" in reference to you, does that make you more comfortable or less comfortable?

There's no time limit here. Experiment. Explore. If it don't work, it don't work. There's no other way to find out but to try::,)

Good luck, I hope you figure it out!

HMMMMMM

Alright, sure, I’ll play your game

What are your “special interests” may I ask?

well there is hamilton: an american musical, wich is abt the life of alexander hamilton, one of the founding fathers. He had 8 kids, two of them named philip, both the oldest and the youngest.

also there is a thing called team seraphic sins ( @bittersweetcandies ) which is not even canon but it's supposed to be like the seraphims/angels + god of hazbin hotel, it has Leo/Leilel and Azrael, which are brothers (and my two favourite akndiaka) also Michael, Galim, Cassius, Joel, God, Gabriel, and Leroy, which are like the 8 main + God, and it's like a really cool au and uhh they all fuck idk

there is also homestuck and like DIRK STRIDER and I love karkat, and terezi and everyone and idk I'm so hyper abt this dk what to say, and uhh its just so dksiskahskaanjsk2hshwkwb it has infected my brain too much the minimum reference goes like KAKBSIAKABS HOMESTUCK ATAJDIS it's so stupid it's eating me rotten

also psychocuties which I love it but it's problematic and Tamakuz (the creatof) herself is problematic bc she drew the characters in n4z1 (ik I can say it but I'm uncomfortable saying it) suits and with the clothes of the movie/series/book (?) Lolita and Mimi/Ushka is like a catgirl Dr Masakryk (a corrupt doctor lol) made out of dead bodies just to use her mentally and physically and have her as an unpated assistant and she looks no much older than 12 but when ppl started questioning it Tamakuz said she was 18 so it was legal, but Dr Masakryk is still 25. And it also has an animation called "Elevator Man" which depicts Dr Masakryk as a dude that like works (?) at the elevator and then a girl that was Ushka when she was alive enters the elevator and she is kinda used by Masakryk

Kanaya was the one to name Rose? Does this mean all the 'Homestuck Player' actions from Act 1 were trolls all along?

This was a mechanic I had long since dismissed as a quirk of early Homestuck, back before its rules had been solidified. I love that even old mysteries like this can come full-circle.

It also means this was definitely Karkat.

GA: I Am A Troll From Another Universe Using A Chat Client Utility Which Is Capable Of Contacting You And Your Friends At Any Point Of Your Lives Which I Choose Up To And Including The Moment Of Your Own Incompetence Fueled Self Destruction

Imagine if this was the first message we'd seen from a troll, back in Act 3. It would've taken me half a dozen posts just to digest the implications!

GT: you are a time traveling space alien from the future, sent here to study humans? GA: No GT: are you from mars? is it a mission of peace? GA: No John You Werent Listening GT: what does your time machine look like? a phone booth? phone booths are a popular thing for some reason. GA: Damn It

Well, you were looking for a way to make this interesting. Whatever else you can say about the John Egbert stream-of-consciousness, it's certainly never boring.

GT: were you lured to earth by a huge gyroscopey thing that jodie foster piloted in contact, while matthew mcconaughey sort of acted as her spiritual guide i guess… GA: What The Hell GT: and then he kind of preached to her about having faith instead of believing in the sciences so hard all the time, and i guess in the end she believed him, maybe? GT: actually, im not even sure what the point of mcconaughey was in that movie. but he was still awesome. GT: and then jodie found her dad on an alien planet... but i think he was a ghost or something? or maybe an alien in disguise.

I feel like I'm getting spoiled for Contact, which I've never seen - but I'm also learning that Contact is apparently buckwild enough that spoilers don't matter.

GA: Im A Girl Not A Boy GT: oh, sorry. GT: i don't know why i thought you were. GA: It Happens

Especially on a planet where dimorphism doesn't appear to matter. I feel like troll gender expression would be more about presentation than physical traits, in a manner similar to Discworld dwarfs.

GT: were you trolling rose too? [...] GA: I Just Spoke To Her In The Future GA: [...] She Said To Paste Something From Our Conversation

That was John, actually - and just before that, he told you to message him in a way that would make the ensuing conversations as convoluted as possible.

So far, you're succeeding with flying colors, and copypasting predestined messages is just the icing on the cake.

GA: Now Im Wondering If You Might Be Trolling Me As Well GT: ok well, just between you and me… GT: SOMEONE here is getting trolled. GT: and it just might be all three of us.

Again, you're using Trollian. Any conversation you have in this app is guaranteed to troll you, your partner, and probably a couple of bystanders for good measure. It's happened before.

WARNING: My opinions. This blog is entirely dedicated to hate that shit/p. You love Dave-Shit-Kat? Happy for you! Block and move on. You don't like that ship/t and disagree with my opinion or want to add something else? You're more than welcome!! [Nothing here is tagged dvkt and name is censored for a reason]

Why is BETA OT4 better than Dave-Shit-Kat

Long post

The real question is HOW can't you love Beta OT4!?

The main group — John, Dave, Rose and Jade — is one of the few friend groups in all medias that simply don't have conflicts between them, yet they feel extremely realistic and are much more entertaining than many other main friend groups in other medias.

All of them are rounded characters, all of them have many interactions, both platonically and romantically. Unfortunatelly, JadeRose is one duo that misses all of that, but passing them, every other duo (JohnDave, JohnRose, JohnJade, RoseDave, DaveJade) have clear romantic potential. Of course Karkat ships JohnRose and DaveJade, of course those ships are very popular in the fandom (except for JohnJade and JadeRose, rip), they have sO FUCKING MUCH CHEMISTRY!!

Let's unpack each duos (quickly hopefully).

* JOHNROSE / GRIMDORKS: One of Karkat's ships <3 They're the typical stereotype of the Funny Dork x Smart Goth, where John acts dumb and silly and still Rose plays along with him. I am always a bit sad everytime people forget how silly Rose is too, mostly around her friends (/lovers). I could even consider her a bit tomboy-ish, due her love for videogames and two of her best friends being guys (also, bisexual tomboys are a very common trope); this could be one reason why she doesn't interact much with Jade.

But, aside that, Rose and John have shown romantic interest between them. Maybe because of Karkat's ship chart, but surely the chemistry was there even before (let's not forget the scene where John was texting to Kanaya, pretending to be Rose, and telling how much "she (John as Rose) loves John".

* DAVEJOHN / PEPSICOLA: They're gay. Bros who forgot to say "no homo" after making out and ended up with a house and seven children and still call each other "bro".

There are way too many examples to make here; from Dave always wearing the sunglasses John gave him; to them always texting/saying "I love you" very confidently. Yes, it can be just bros being bros and being confident in doing so, but we can also agree that they'd definitely have "sex for besties" and "platonically marry each other."

* JOHNJADE / SNOOZY GOOFS: They have less interactions, and it's easier to see them platonically than romantically (that's why DaveRose is more popular, for example), but that doesn't mean they wouldn't be a good couple. They'd be the most chill and happy couple of all times; at most doing pranks everywhere and cuddle more than kissing.

They have heavy potential!

* DAVEROSE / SUNBURST: They were canon. IDK what else tell you. You want more reasons!? They're compatible, bickering like idiots with Rose rolling her eyes 24/7 everytime Dave starts with his long, long ironic monologues with dumb comparisons and jokes. But she matches his vibe, she can make those jokes too. Not counting that, in my opinion, Rose prefers to psychoanalyze Dave rather than John and Jade. Yes, at first Jade is a mysterious girl and Rose would love to understand what she knows better, but Dave's mind is another thing entirely, as it's about knowing someone's past better rather than knowing what they know.

* JADEROSE / GUNS N ROSES: Yup, they don't talk much, still they should be together! Another trope between The Rich Girl x The Country Girl; the Cat x Dog. It's all there!!! Also, as I said I consider Rose being more tomboy-ish a reason why she doesn't talk too much with Jade, who on the surfice level appears more feminine, but as we know Jade has a thing for guns, she loves videogames too, she's more a cool action girl. Rose would love that; but I guess the reason why she choose Kanaya and not Jade is because Kanaya is more on her same sophisticated level. And I guess that is also the reason why Rose talked to Jade much more on the first acts, when Jade knew more than the others and was more a mystery, than in the future acts.

But don't despair; they have a lot of potential as a good duo (no, you can't even think about HS2, delete that shit from your mind).

* DAVEJADE / SPACETIME: They were canon pt2; Karkat ships them pt2.

I will not count the disgusting shit of having them date and breakup out of camera that Act6 gave us. Instead, let's focus on why they work as a couple.

Dave, as showned, seems to have A Thing for every Egbert-Harley-Crocker (except Jake), and for every Strider-Lalonde (except Dirk), so it's already a point. Also, Dave and Jade are as confident in their affection as Dave and John are (LET'S NOT FORGET THE <3).

Jade is kind and funny and a good buddy like John, but with extra steps. While John inspires Dave to be better (at least before ShitAct6), Dave admires Jade, who considers more on his same level, if not even cooler.

On the Jade's part, I'd like to bring the GIF of the woman that says "he makes me laugh" or something. They're so cute together.

SUMMARY, WHY ARE THEY BETTER THAN DAVE-SHIT-KAT?: They have actual interactions between them, and many and good ones too. They're all from the same species, so they can't be racist towards each other. They act as friends, caring about each other so confidently that it borders soft and cute romantic attraction. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the trolls already considered them as moirails between one another, as they are supportive towards each other very openly.

DOWN POINTS: (NOTE: "down points" =/= Dave-Shit-Kat is better than them in this. "down points" = the defects of this ship) We don't see them interact ALL together, all four of them. And it's actually a defect that Homestuck has in general; who focuses mostly on two characters talking rather than many, even in crowded situations or groups (but I can understand that; it's hard with more characters).

Also, pairings like JohnJade and RoseJade have less material than the others, working more theoretically than actually.

Also also, humans here are disgusted by blood-related incest. So, John tells Karkat that he won't reproduce with Jade, and Dave(sprite) reacted seemingly like "oh shit" when told that Rose is his blood-related sister. But Dave is a special case either way, since he still called Roxy sexy.
