#yes this is a homestuck post in 2019

Sexual puritanism is very old, it has always been part of civilized society until very recently

in the early 2010's, many homestuck fans and fandom in general were accepting of lgbt people

you cannot be puritan and progressive at the same time, im talking about real puritanism, not the kind anime watching basement dwellers made up

being gay was fully legalized in the United States in 2002, long before homestuck came out

I thought it was in 2015 that gay marriage was legalized in United States. Maybe in 2002, it was legalized in some states, but it wasn't ALL of them until Obama made it official. That's why people praised Steven Universe, a show that aired in the years 2013-2019. They were airing in a time when the fight for it and success had come. They had pushed LGBT themes in the show or at least, try to hide it but then became vocal as time went on. Yes Homestuck fans were accepting of LGBT, but you also forget the same fandom also lived in a time edgey humor was a thing that not even people of LGBT minded. They can casually use the word faggot to describe someone being an idiot, not as a slur to actual gay people. Do I need to bring up Karkat again?

True real puritanism is mostly based from religion such as Christianity. Like how people thought entertainment was a sin that they had to destroy all music and paintings in order for everyone to focus on God. It can be like this even today. I should know, my family is Jehovah Witnesses. My aunt has never ever ever seen a Disney movie, read any other fiction book, watched a show, or listened to other various music genres. But if we were to be fair, we might as well call this whole movement then MODERN puritanism. Instead of religion, it's more based on things like trying to appear as morally good person. Part of it is trying to over-correct or erase the past mistakes. It all for the sake of boosting one's ego or greed while trying to paint themselves as the righteous person.

A look back on my old art (and other doodles on Twitter.) - December 2020

This marks the FIRST post of many I will make detailing my old work. I'm gonna start posting these weekly as to make it easy others AND for me. And what better way to start it off by the month I finally got a tablet. (and turnt 18 too I guess)

I was not a smart 18 year old, I some how barely survived the last 2 years of high school, and this and the next would become the worse it ever got. Yet I still persisted and somehow stay sane. Kinda. Keep that in mind for the bulk of 2021's art in the following weeks.

December 4

As you can see from the first image, I was using a mouse at the time (and a combination of mspaint and firealpaca) That will change soon enough. Also homestuck =:3

Original descriptions:

I saw this and I thought I can use this as an excuse to actuallly draw homestuck

have this nepeta doodle as well

December 6

At the time I was really obsessed with making homestuck sprites of stuff (and I still kinda do) so I made this at a request of a friend at the time.

Original description:

@SpringingTraps made me draw metaware homestuck

December 8

Why did I even included this post in here? Well I used to be SUPER inconsistent how I draw myself, so thought this would be a good start.

Original description:

i found that pettting gif website...

December 11

I'll be honest, I wish I didn't post this back then. IDK it's kinda weird looking back on now.

Original Description:

It's #FlatFuckFriday AND my birthday??? Fuck yeah!!! 🥞

December 18

I'll be honest. I have no idea how I did THIS with a mouse of all things. Like how did I do it. In MSPAINT no less. Also I have no idea why I drew myself like this here.

Original Description:

fucking around with faking line weight, so glad I don't have to do this shit when I get a tablet

December 20

Oh look Cave Story, one my earliest obsessions. When this drawing came out, I already have long since moved on from it, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate it.

Original Description:

16 years of #CaveStory =:]

December 22

Ah here we go, I finally got a drawing tablet. I got REALLY excited with the pen pressure that I kinda gone overboard with it, but it was nice to use one. (granted I forgot how to draw with a mouse now.) Oh yeah, if you notice a black line on the VERY top of some drawings, that was a bug with firealpaca. I kinda had to live with it for a while.

Original Description:

WOW HAVING PEN PRESURE MAKES A BIG DIFFFERENCE

This was the first real piece I did after getting a tablet. I'm quite proud of it. The context behind this image is kinda funny really. A server I was in was doing a collab where we drew UCN portraits of our OCs or Sona, and I drew something for it. Yes UCN, Ultimate Custom Night. I was in my second FNAF phase at the time.

Original Description:

Let the static flow.

December 23

At the time, I used to draw myself with sideburn thingies cause I thought it look cute, but I no longer do that. Also you might be noticing a large about drawing made in a short timeframe. Well I have an explanation for that. You see, I sometimes get hit by these bursts of productivity and I can draw super fast. Sometimes these bursts happen at random, but in this case it was because I gotten a new tablet and new ideas where flowing.

Original Description:

This was supposed to be a sketch...

I HAVE LOT TO SAY ABOUT THIS. I was super obsessed with TGWeaver's FNAF comics. It was why I gotten back into FNAF around 2019. But I was fascinated with Toy Bonnie at the time, to the point I started drawing her on the daily. I started using her as an avatar for myself online. It was when I saw a post on tumblr where something made a kinsona when it clicked for me. This rabbit holds sooooo much gender. 🏳️‍⚧️ Thus ended 5 years of denial over my gender.

Original Description:

some weaver buns

December 24

I tried drawing myself with my hair down here. I didn't like it then. I got better at drawing my hair down though. I was this file was named "cel test" for some reason.

Original Description:

It's me!

December 25

Remember when I said I was inconsistent, here an example. I dislike how this turned out then, I STILL do now. The only thing I do like? This was when I started to shade in this particular way. Also at the time I was worried about being too slow, which is funny when I was posting so many things at once. But also the filename was "the crunch" which is less funny and more worrying.

Original Description:

I need to learn how to do this faster

December 28

Oh look a Commission! There's nothing special to say about this.

Original Description:

Shaded commission for @Bunnydudee of Carmen from Animal Crossing!

December 29

THAT'S RIGHT I DREW SONIC.EXE BEFORE IT WAS COOL. Jokes aside, this post was more so for Tails Doll. I loved drawing that little bugger in the most pathetic and dorky way possible.

Original Description:

Tails Doll's roommate is a wacknut

FINALLY we made it thru December. Goodness I posted alot more often back then huh. Kinda surprising. Anyways next week I'll post January!

[thornrings]

ughfhg the last person who had the url 'astergaster' was this homestuck blog from like 2019 who posted fanart like five times and then left. i kind of regret making that my artfight username now what if people think it's me.... (though i do link my tumblr on my artfight, i've been watermarking my attacks as 'astergaster'.)

also, the etymology of that username, just in case: used to go by a different username with the word 'aster' in it but my family knows about that one so i don't use it anymore. deltarune chapter 2 had recently released and the cool new character 'spamton g. spamton' was on everyone's minds. and i was like, hm. what if i just... 'aster g. aster'... and then people will read it as 'aster gaster' and that will be funny... yes... hahaha........

[parageist]

fuck it im gonna do all of these

1. elegyEstranger, which is also the username for my oc reverie willow, main character of my webcomic exspiravit :3

2. nope. just mixed two cool sounding words together lol

3. don’t have one! :’)

4. nope. maybe i’ll try getting them into it though lmao

5. not in any serious way but i do like to act like dave, nepeta, june, aradia, and a bunch of other characters a lot and i relate to them a bunch x3

6. oh boy i’ve changed it so much i think i’ve identified as almost every aspect and class at least once before lmao. i think im either a rogue of life or a rogue of time but idk, they’re all so cool lol. and im a prospit dreamer

7. yes! i made a bunch of dave stickers last year

8. yeah, i’ve made fan comics on mspfa, which is what got me into making webcomics lmao

9. nope

10. yup, i was vriska as halloween for 2018 (which may or may not have been a heavy sign that i was trans), dave as halloween for 2019, and aradia for 2020. im going to comic-con this saturday and might go as dave, i still have all the stuff lmao

11. nope

12. nope

13. dave 😎

14. hmmm. it really depends on what value you measure how “favorite” they are… but probably one of the alpha trolls like damara, horrus, or porrim, which i am 100% guilty of neglecting them due to their tiny screen time. they’re just so forgettable, but that’s likely hussies fault.

15. uhhhhh… davekat? junedave? davejade?? (not beating the “crush on the cool guy fictional character which i first thought was just me idolizing him but then as i got older i realized it was just my closeted bisexuality and liked to imagine myself with him” allegations 😔)

16. huh?

17. you’re just making up acronyms at this point smh

18. no, but i would like the fandoms awful reputation to go away.

19. ive played hiveswap act 2, but not friendsim or pesterquest or the epilogues/homestuck^2

20. literally the greatest inspiration to me, everything down to my artstyle. i’ve been a fan since i was like 10/11 lmao (my parents did NOT like me reading that at a young age) and so it pretty much defined all of my middle school years

21. yes! i saw someone at my old school with a homestuck shirt and we became friends. we still talk sometimes but they moved far away :(

22. yeah

23. i never really fully read all of it, i stopped being able to understand after act 4 lmao. but i eventually “read” and by read i mean skimmed through the rest of it a few times, along with reading the wiki, watching videos about it, and watching other people read it, so i would say that culminative experience counts

24. i skipped most of the dialogue after act 4 lmao. too many words formatted in an inaccessible way for my adhd and dyslexia xD the animations and art was the one thing that kept me through it though

25.🙂

26. very very very cool i love the way it’s presented and the interactability and the art style and animations and music and characters and writing (besides some very questionable things) and lore and concepts and GOD ITS SO COOL RARRRRGH I LOVE SBURB AND GOD TIERS AND STUFF ASHDHHDHJJG

27. humans, for relatability. sometimes i think trolls are overrated but they’re also cool. and carapacians are underrated little guys but besides being silly little guys there’s nothing much more to them. besides badass ring power shit and the midnight crew and royalty

28. descend, cascade and collide were all so fucking awesome

29. hmm. the trolls all killing each other? vriskas return? but i guess at the same time they create really cool narrative stuff, they’re just unpleasant from a watching-your-blorbos-kill-each-other standpoint lmao

30. im tired, no

31. im into it, im inspired by it, i may post stuff about it from time to time, but that’s it lmao

current irons in the current fire

Before I get to start new fun projects to kick everyone's asses, I gotta finish the stuff already out there, so let's remind ourselves what those are:

(gonna make a readmore cut thing because this got too long, as rambles often do)

Systemless, the very silly very gay epic that's wrapping up finally after 3 years, I'm aiming to finish in April. Honestly this book is super up the Tumblr alley and even has BL romance but I forgot to promote it on here lol. I'll do that when the ebook versions come out

Golemancer, which really bombed compared to my original expecations, but it's still a pretty well-liked story honestly. I am going to wrap up Book 2 since it's already almost done, then publish ebook versions, and if those do well I'll finish the series later on. I should have done this over a year ago...

Japan Romance, the codename for a long-gestating project I've been working on since 2019. It was a novel, then a comic, now it's a visual novel, and yes I'm intentionally adding these comma splices why do you ask? When this project comes out someday you are gonna flip out, I promise. It's gonna be my ultimate early career project.

Project U, a collab with Ktalaki, the actual mspa prophet and not me actually. This project will never see the light of day, on purpose.

Game Jam. Quinlan Circle is gonna do a week-long game jam during Golden Week. Unless the game is literally unplayable, we will post that online afterwards.

Project Z, this is a codename that's actually just the impending release of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, a game that I suspect will take up an entire month of my life. Still working on creative projects even while this game is out is going to be my life's ultimate challenge. When Fire Emblem Engage came out I totally failed at doing anything but playing that game (and also dealing with various life crises throughout February but that's a story for another time AKA an actual blog essay not this thing)

MSPA Reread 2023, a project that's semi-creative because it's unlocking entire spheres of my brain I forgot even existed. The sheer nostalgia that came with reading Homestuck Act 5-2 took up multiple days of my life reminiscing about old projects and long-dead forum thread. I'm on Act 6 Intermission 3 now as of today, and I think my friend group will finish around the end of April. Later, I'm gonna read the Epilogues and Homestuck 2 for the first time and see why people hate them so much lol. I know they're not "strictly canon" but I'm a long-time Star Wars EU fan, so fluid canonicty in layers is totally normal to me. Maybe not to other people...

(also I guess Psycholonials counts here? And the visual novel games? IDK about those quite yet)

Anyway there's one thing that I'm building to, and that's a project codenamed Really Big Story. You might be able to guess the story concept based on the codename. Quinlan Circle has been going for almost 5 years now, and we're getting ready to work on something super ambitious. But we can only work on it after we're all in better spots creatively. For me this means finishing (or quitting) all the stuff I've built up over the years. I have too many projects!!!!!

If you actually read this whole thing, send me an ask for which of these you want me to ramble about in my next mini-blog. I'll do that tomorrow or something (the mini-blogs will never be as long as this one, at least I hope so lol because this took like 20 minutes)

[tempesttz]

i would like to direct you to this post from 2019 about transfem june, canonicity, and headcanons because it sums up my feelings well

june canonicity is something that happened very late into homestuck, and while it is a popularly enjoyed concept for good reasons that doesn't mean that people can't have their own concepts of what could be. maybe someone transmasc sees themselves in the concept of a transmasc john. maybe it just brings someone joy. it's homestuck! who fucking cares! of all medias for diverse concepts of what could be in characters to get mad about people having diverse concepts of what could be in characters, you pick homestuck? may i remind you that this is also canon:

if you want to read more about daverose theories i cant find a source but apparently hussie has directly implied theyve also banged on the ship. implying it is canon. it's pretty well known that hussie also declared all ships technically canon, even the morally dubious or downright insane ones. man this guy really likes his incest

i'm not saying june egbert isn't awesome. i'm happy it's canon. i agree with the patreon poster i linked in my first link when they say it recontextualizes homestuck in a new amazing way. i'm just saying, maybe lets not be jerks about people having headcanons in the headcanon webcomic fandom. let people have some joy and whimsy. allow people to participate in a flagrant disregard for canon, because that's truly what the joy of homestuck is. i think transmasc john is awesome. i think june is awesome. i think transmasc jade is awesome. i think transfem jade is awesome. i think transmasc dave is awesome. i think anyone in homestuck having any gender in any way whoever is creating any kind of posts, art, writing or otherwise about their favorite characters so desires them to be is awesome. because it brings them joy. people writing about transmasc john are almost never doing it out of some deep-seated hatred for june. i'd go so far as to say basically none of them are. i'm sure there's a couple weirdos, but the exceptions don't define the group.

under multiverse theory anything and everything is happening across every timeline ever all at the same time. there are not more june egbert timelines, just like there's not more john egbert timelines. there are timelines where john is a goddamn papaya. the point is that they're infinite. june is in the canon timeline, or canon... realm of timelines. homestuck is weird. in one timeline june picked the name jade and jade picked the name john and jade and john are living in sibling-name-and-gender-trading harmony. ooh, i like that one. anything can happen, and is happening, and will continue to happen. that doesn't devalue june as a character. it's just how the multiverse theory works.

why are we having headcanon discourse in the year of our lord 2024 why must we still discourse over the littlest shards of joy. just treat it like ao3, if you use the site. if you don't like someone's headcanons, keep scrolling.

and yes, i will flagrantly disregard canon, no matter how much i love canon. because that's the joy of alternate universes. that's the joy of taking something you find beautiful and giving slapping your own coat of fresh paint on it to make you happy and sharing it with others in the hope it brings them joy too. that's why "canon divergent" is such a popular tag.

im gonna fly off the handle

Shout-out to Homestuck for influencing the way I see glasses frames years later

[aroaceacacia]

Okay this is just my opinion as someone who witnessed the 2019 discourse and as someone who is also on hermittwt: but there are some groups in hermittwt who are eerily similar to how M/les and his group acted in the back in the day. Like with their self righteous black and white mentality and large following. I’m absolutely terrified that what happened in 2019 is gonna happen again and that anyone who isn’t 100% against shipping will be harassed off the site

It's already started happening - I've collected a few "Twitter refugees" already, and I've heard that many of the early, chiller members of Hermittwt have left because of some of the more toxic individuals already. My feelings on the matter are ping-ponging between not wanting the Hermits to get roped into/exposed to all of that conflict and negativity and not wanting more people to be traumatized but also (to quote Homestuck) "I think I mostly want to see what happens when this whole place breaks apart". I want to see it all burn. (Do I recognize in the long term this would not be good? Yes. Do I want to see it also? Yes. Do I want people to be hurt? No. Do i want to see it die? Yes. Etc etc etc.)

I'm not surprised that Twitter is following the footsteps of Tumblr; some of the anti-hermitshipper crowd migrated to be primarily Tumblr Twitter users post-2019 because they felt uncomfortable with the way the Tumblr community's collective opinion was starting to shift toward ship neutrality, and theres also that old saying that twitter discourse is always a few years behind tumblr discourse LOL

Hello! This is an intro post. I very much should have done this about five years ago but at least I’m doing it now.

Personal Stuff: I go by Becca or Marx online. I’m 24 (Taurus Sun, Cancer Rising, Aquarius Moon.) I’m sapphic/bi/generally super queer. I use she/they pronouns. I’m a Jewish leftist. I won’t give you my laundry list of mental disorders but basically I’m neurodivergent and I��ve got some other stuff going on (is anyone neurotypical on this site even????)

I have a graduate degree in Ancient Greek and Latin. Now I’m once again in grad school but this time for an MFA. I’m also an aspiring SFF writer and a poet. I write fanfic but mostly for myself.

Warning: I used to reblog th*nspo and various related ED tumblr bullshit from the age of 18 to 20. So around 2018 to 2019. I’ve been trying to go through and delete all of it (I regret it so very much, I was in a horrible place. I vent about it sometimes. If you want to shoot me an ask or a message, I can explain further if necessary.) I’m in recovery and I will never go back to that place. If you decide to follow, I promise you won’t find any new th*nspo reblogged here <3

DNI: The list of usual suspects. Radfems and TERFs go to hell especially.  Also Reylos, for your own peace of mind, you’re probably going to want to stay away.

What I post: My personal tag is #thevoidspeaks and I occasionally post quotes from what I’m reading. You can find those under #litblr. The #quote tag is just a collection of quotes I’ve found on here.

I reblog aesthetics. Various aesthetic collections are categorized by tag. Some personal favorites of my collection are #darkacademia , #cottagecore , #haunted , and #vampirecore

I have an #art tag and a #sculpture tag where I curate a kind of private museum in cyberspace. I do the same thing with my #artifact tag. I like to imagine that I own a big old mansion and fill it with absolutely ridiculous things.

I trigger tag: gore, blood, food, ED (eating disorders), guns, and cigarettes (I’ve got a nic addiction, I know how hard it is seeing constant pics of cigs. i figured I’d tag it so that if you’re trying to quit you can block the tag.)

Interests: Ohhhh boy, this is going to be a lot. These are some of the constants but my interests are constantly changing. I have ADHD and I tend to have brief but intense hyperfixations. The BPD also doesn’t exactly help matters on this front either...

*Anime: Cowboy Bebop, Sailor Moon, Ouran High School Host Club, Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt

* TV: Doctor Who, Penny Dreadful, BTVS, Wandavision, Veep, The Thick of It, Adventure Time, Fleabag, Law and Order (mainly SVU and OC. Yes I know it’s Copoganda.

American Horror Story, Peaky Blinders, ATLA, What We Do In The Shadows, Crazy Ex Girlfriend, Seinfeld, Ratched, Downton Abbey, Gentleman Jack, Community, Russian Doll, Steven Universe, Breaking Bad, House of The Dragon, Stranger Things (more of a casual interest than much of this list) Wednesday

*Misc.: Homestuck (God...I know its embarrassing) Virginia Woolf, LOTR, Skyrim, The Secret History, UNHhh, Game of Thrones (mainly the books,). Ancient Greek and Roman History and language, linguistics generally, ED recovery, Witchcraft, Fanfiction, Jewish History and culture, and Leftism . Basically, I contain multitudes

Ahhh I think that’s everything! I’ve probably forgotten things. If I think of anything I’ll edit this

ABOUT ME

Hachi ✨ 20 ✨ She/Her ✨ 🇵🇭 ✨ INFJ 6w5

Hello, I’m Hachi! I'm a full-time freelance illustrator on Fiverr, and I hopefully plan to branch out in other artistic areas in my life! Expect me to dump all of my artistic interests over here : #hachichiart

I also have a children’s picture e-book that I self-published on Amazon. I made it as a requirement for my high school thesis, so while the art there is definitely a representation of my past, I still stand by the message I was trying to send. I hope to eventually branch out this series in a form of a webcomic of sorts, for people who can’t afford to purchase my e-book for financial reasons. These characters are extremely dear to me, and I can’t wait to expound on them when I have the time lmao. Here’s a tag regarding the series: #behindtheartistichand

Some note-worthy things to mention, this blog is generally 15+, but I do make sure to tag any NSFW content and general triggers out there. I often post and retweet adult animation, so I’d say tread carefully if you’re a minor. I’m also critical with the media I consume, but most of the time, I like to talk about why I like something rather than why I hate it. I just find it more fun to expound on the positives of my favorite things. I also don’t take everything seriously.

Please let me know privately if I did or say anything wrong. Sometimes I say things without meaning to, and I’m not the brightest crayon in the box, so constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. If you take offense with anything I posted, just send a polite DM and explain why it offended you so I can be educated regarding the subject. I’m also available for any questions, DMs and a genuine chit-chat.

the hole june egbert is new to me , but i don't know why people think john is trans? i just thought he was a good example of non toxic masculinity. but i still love your drawings

John’s narrative in the epilogues - specially candy- feels very trans-like. He’s reached a point in his 20s where he is depressed, shut in, expectant and feels like he’s under-performing and the whole world is either fake or not working ‘RIGHT’, he acts under the assumption that all of his discomfort with how his adult life is going (growing up, marrying up, having kids, growing a mustache, seeing everyone get into their het+baby nuclear families) is due to a problem with the world ITSELF, and not something within him that’s gone wrong.

1) it is definitely to do with his depression.

2) depression caused by unrecognized dysphoria feels exactly like this. (”dysphoria” is a word that is thrown around so much and in such violent-heavy contexts that people completely forget or are not aware how much more subtle and insidious the feeling of not being quite right on your body and assuming you’re the one doing ‘you’ wrong can be)

Going from that, John’s narrative in homestuck proper CAN be read in a completely new light. June Egbert comes from how that narrative resonates with trans people who discovered they are trans WAY LATER in life (roxy showed one example of that, this is another context altogether) and how interesting egbert’s inability to allow himself to introspect in the context of gender/sexuality (mildly freaking out about roxy/dave’s coming outs, laughing nervously and brushing it off) is a symptom of something bigger. Little suburban boy raised in a cishet white picket fence environment suddenly feeling like something’s gone wrong on his development and he really hates the idea and concept of being a ‘he’ at all- and then come the girls.

During HS, john is largely directed by/instructed by/projected on by women who are perceived to be either more capable, wise or cunning than him. (jade, rose, vriska, terezi) a LARGE part of his story is john allowing himself to go along with their larger than life personalities even when they’re doing goofy or weird things- because it seems like the right thing to do. And Then There’s The Thing About The Daughters

“June” itself comes from a pesterlog where john is talking with vriska and jokes about reading his own name as a very long spelling of ‘june’ - the first rose/kanaya pesterlog chronologically is actually john pretending to be rose and speaking on her quirk - John has an habit of making his NPC’s daughters like they’re dolls in a playhouse scenario where he only allows himself to play with in the concept because he’s hiding under the guise of playing the father (like nic cage) But he always tends towards the feminine.

was this intended coding? definitely not.

is it still effectively coding to a potential trans woman narrative, to the point a lot about john’s repressed rage, refusal to introspect, and repression of his own feelings in favour of attending to the plot and his friend’s/life’s expectations first and before himself all become interconnected and with a greater meaning? YES.

and besides, it’s also really fun. i think it says a lot that the author of the character found the reading to be interesting and got excited about it himself. it’s 2019! turns out john ‘i’m not a homosexual’ egbert was maybe just a lesbian trans girl all along. (this is all stuff im going off of my reread, there’s definitely way more articulate thoughts/pesterlog screencaps from people who have been compiling june meta posts on twitter!) 

EDIT 27/08/19- clarifying new developments! Where did “June is canon!” come from?
