#you didn’t have to go there op

[relaxxattack]

can you imagine if they left the epilogue as it was without adding hs2. like if they leaned more into the “fanfic parody” aspect of it.

imagine if you read the homestuck epilogues and instead of being forced to contend with fascist jane for the next five years, the epilogues just ended with dirk saying “Oh and this was all a dream. Btw.”

like i think that would have been insanely funny. there would have been so so many memes about the officially licensed homestuck parody where rose and jade cheat on their marriages and dirk makes davekat kiss. i think everyone would have found that to be such a riot

it would have been way more fun to analyze too because instead of being forced to take 40yrold divorced dave seriously everyone could be like “what does it mean when on page 42 dirk described him as a white lanky bitch… what level of irony is this… what does it symbolize”

instead it feels like we got told a joke that we weren’t exactly in on, felt hurt about it, and now we’ve all been sitting around for half a decade waiting for a punchline that might never come

i just wanted to pop in and say that you just seem so brimming with life and emotion and color and i was wondering how you generated it all because golly, that's a lot of personhood. excellent work. keep being vast

oh thank you! this was really lovely to read & it brightened what’s otherwise been a little bit of a shit week. so, just for you, i wrote up a how-to.

a 10-step guide to being vast:

step 1: be a person with a complex & unique way of experiencing the world (you have already achieved this!)

step 2: be willing to say yes to anything* once. maybe even twice, to make sure the first time wasn’t a fluke. it will be hard and you won’t always like it, but it will be worth it.

*with consideration for your health & safety, of course. but this step is about getting you outside of your comfort zone. it’s okay to be uncomfortable.

step 3: spend time with the world. go to all sorts of places and do all sorts of things. (this does not require money, only creativity and courage.) pay attention to what happens around you. notice the big picture and the small details. look for beauty in everything.

step 4: feel what it’s like to be yourself. the sensations, the emotions. sit with them. experience them. give them names. make friends with them—even the uncomfortable ones. this is the hardest and most painful step, but also the most important in my experience. i wish i could promise that you’ll stop being sad, or afraid, or angry. that doesn’t happen. but you’ll grow into someone who’s also joyful and brave and kind. i can promise that.

step 5: try to be the best version of yourself whenever you can. remember that the best version of yourself in this moment is not always the same as in every other moment. have grace for yourself when you don’t succeed—because your best self right now would have grace for your past self’s mistakes. figure out how to take good care of yourself & do that.

step 6: ask “how?” and “why?” about everything. even if the only person you ask is yourself & your duckduckgo searchbar. don’t stop until you get an answer that makes sense. teach yourself how to do things. do them badly so that you can do them well.

step 7: practice drawing connections. now that you know these two things, how are they related? now that you have these two skills, how can you use them together? this is a tough skill, but it’s critical to being an active force in your life.

step 8: make friends with interesting people (this will happen naturally as you work through these steps). and then, be vulnerable. text first. love hard, even when it hurts. let them be vulnerable too. life is too short to hold things back. remember that nothing is required, but everything is permitted, and you get to make your life look however you want. above all, be kind. not nice—kind. and remember to be kind to yourself, too. repeat step 5 as often as necessary. it will be necessary, and that’s okay.

step 9: tell me* about all of it. get really specific. if you don’t have the right words, look them up. if it’s funny or an emergency you can make up new ones that feel right.

*this is a genuine offer. i would love to hear about it all. but it could also be your journal/therapist/best friend/cat/followers who read the tumblr tags. just make sure you put it outside of you somewhere so it doesn’t get stuck.

step 10: congrats! you’re a vast, complicated, interesting person who’s brimming with life and emotion and color!

I thought I was done but I’m not lmao. The nerve of that person to verbatim say that trans men are always making a big deal out of what we’re doing to prove that we’re trans and Valid Enough. Unlike, in their opinion, trans people who don’t validpost about being So Trans because the proof of their transness is evident in the hate crime ratio. It’s crazy how you can literally insert anything here as an example of tmasc validposting (talking about tmasc clothing, art, music, theory, any aspect of our gender presentation). Other trans people of course never do anything overwrought. Neat way to silence any discussion on transphobia too - we’re making it up to prove our transness. Like this is a level of mean I wouldn’t dream of saying to somebody - first it’s just not true, and second I don’t delight in cruelty. Before you post any other scintillating theory, Brandon Teena would like a word.

I hate when I see a post that maybe has helpful information, but it’s so full of guilt tripping, calling people who don’t know the information stupid, and calling people who haven’t been talking about that particular problem stupid, that I don’t feel comfortable sharing it.

Hi if you dont mind even its temporarily posted to your page can you please consider sharing and extending your support to help relocate to a safer place(Egypt) . I need help immediately. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

You may have one tumblr user buying what you’re selling, but all your posts are from one day ago. It’s clearly a scam!

This is one of those bots that targets blogs who post about Palestine. Shame on you.

Now that wasn't very serotonin-huffing of you, was it? Block the OP of the post, take a breather, stop telling people they should die for a joke post, pet an animal, meet people, realize that people enjoy stuff that you don't, just. Genuinely, calm down. You don't get a happier life waging a war like this. And if anger and hatred is your choice-- well. Enjoy your burnout, and enjoy desperately trying to find joy when all you've done is surrounded yourself with barbs of scorn.

LMAOOOOO WHAT 💀💀💀💀 hang on I’m using “barbs of scorn” as my new discord handle that shit had me wailing HQKEJEKR if this is about the “proshipper” post 1) ur loser ass really scrubbed through looking for people who didn’t like that op was talking abt how it was ok to fetishize incest and rape and send ppl anons telling them to “let happiness into their heart and let ppl enjoy things” 2) brother I’m plenty happy that shit meant nothing to me!! I’m not burned out for shit!! Being a hater sometimes is good for the skin 💕

i get d/newlyturned can be useful but why are there vamps asking the stupidest questions like how to bite….. even humans know that u just open your mouth and close it on something… not that difficult.

⚰️ draculabitme Follow

I’m so tired of this new generation of vampires. Back when i was turned, if you didn’t know how to hunt, you starved. These fucking babybats with their bloodbags and willing victims are defanging the name of vampires.

🧛🏻 garlicker Follow

why are these vamps asking deaddit anyway, shouldn’t they be learning these things from their sire???

🦇 batty-betty Follow

hey, biting correctly can be tricky to master! and some vampires don’t have a relationship with their sire where they feel comfortable asking for advice. when i was turned, my sire was my former master and it took awhile to feel like i could talk to her freely. plus, most fledglings are abandoned by their sires these days. i think it’s great that these babybats have a place to figure these things out.

🧛🏻‍♂️ snacula Follow

op left out the full screamshot anyway

he’s having trouble sucking enough blood from the wound, which is something most fledglings struggle with tbh.

tip to all the babybats: if you feel you’re not getting enough blood you probably aren’t sucking hard enough. you gotta really work at it. it takes time to build up the muscles to drain someone within minutes. and if you really want to puncture an artery go right ahead, just prepare for things to get messy haha (and don’t expect your victim to live through it)

and here is a site made specifically for newly turned vampires, it’s got all you need to know as a fledgling

🪦 f34st-of-bl00d Follow

reblogging for that last bit, i struggled with sucking when i was a fledgling and i had no sire to tell me why.

another tip: bite the chest when starting out. you can move on to the neck once you’ve gotten a hang of that. and i wouldn’t recommend the wrist or thigh as a convenient bite

Truly amazing how much more peaceful steadily replies become when you’ve taken the time to go through the notes of a fandom post that’s talking about shipping and/or anti-censorship stuff and just block anyone that’s annoying. It truly is just a handful of purity police making a ton of noise lmfao.

[to-dance-beneath-the-diamond-sky]

love when you tell a person on tumblr dot com you’re done engaging in a repetitive back and forth conversation that’s going nowhere with them and yet they continue on trying to win and argue you into admitting they’re right. Like okay guess I’ll just be using the block button then lmao

very conflicted and confused GNC Unlabeled AFAB (who presents more masculine) Laios is about to get married before getting emotionally fed up with everything, (humans, parents, his sister be mistreated, feeling out of place/disliked, etc) decides fuck that mess, runs away at the alter, semi-catches up with Kabru and heads straight to the dungeon to explore. Whether anyone likes it or not! While Kabru tries to befriend and understand the person they slightly underestimated (thought was boring lol) and “under” observed. Falin is having fun adventuring only to receive news that Laios is gone/missing/left from thier parents and she is immediately off to find Laios with the help of her friends
