do you like andrew hussie? their early work was a little too juvenile for my tastes. but when whistles the starlight calliope came out in '05, i think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. the whole comic has a clear crisp art style and a new sheen of consumate professionalism that really gives the narrative a big boost. they've been compared to ryan north, but i think hussie has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. in '07, hussie released this: mspaintadventures.com ; their most accomplished site. i think their undisputed masterpiece is "homestuck" a story so vast that most people probably don't read the words. but they should, because it's not just about coming of age and finding friends in unlikely places. it's also a personal statement about the author themself.

tbh the whitest trolls to me are the zahhaks and the makaras bc of what kind of internet-people equius and gamzee represented at the time. juggalo culture is predominantly white working class folks or white folks on the poverty line, and in the US bc of segregation, that meant a lot more mixing of cultures than you see in middle class and up areas. its the same with canada and the UK. so you see a lotta black influences in there bc of how US class structures have been constructed. its a melting pot made by and for the working class. a lotta irl juggalo stuff is pretty chill from what ive heard? as a movement they want to demolish class heirarchy and build community. ofc theres room for abuse in the lifestyle though, thats not unique to juggalos. gamzee as a rich white boy living a juggalo lifestyle but not getting it right and actually reinforcing what irl juggalos fight against makes perfect sense for his character

equius on the other hand is like belligerently Hegemonic White Cis Dude coded to me. he represents young white cis boys on the precipice of falling into the manosphere pipeline, imo. specifically bc theyre lonely and insecure. his spot on the hemospectrum is perfect for breeding that shit. he's been told his whole life that hes better than most of the ppl he knows. hes higher up caste wise than most of his friends, particularly nepeta, but still feels inferieor to his friends who ARE higher up than he is, which is what sparks that hyperspecfic brand of insecurity in white cis boys. their only real problem is that someone else whos even more priviledged is looking down on them. and gamzee also being white just kind of compounds that bc of the sense of 'competition' between white guys or whatever, to be The Whitest Squarest* Guy who is On Top (haha) Of All Other White Square Guys

everyone else? nah. its so obviously not whats happening. which really just highlights the fact that large swaths of fandom still believe that white is default in terms of character design. and its insane to me how ppl can say w/ their whole chest that the hemospectrum has nothing to do w/ race, its just abt class, when racism and class are intrinsically tied. like theyre horrible twin sisters, man, you cant rlly have one without the other. enforced class models in society dont work unless theres someone up top deeping someone else Deserving of having less bc theyre not the exact same type of person as them

*using the term Square here not to denote any kind of 80s movie nerddom but to try to describe hegemonically cishet (and homogenized white) normies who are toxic abt it and think everyone else should be like them

Jake English and Fear of Knowing, part 1

Jake has a strange position throughout all of Homestuck: he apparently knows everything that’s happening.  This is strange, as Jake spends a great deal of Homestuck also not knowing things. It’s a paradox encapsulated in a conversation between Jake and Brain Ghost Dirk:

It’s a paradox that we see play out in different aspects of Jake’s life, and in many cases, we see this doubling of knowledge and ignorance as inspired by fear, specifically, the fear of what that knowledge would mean, and it leads to him attempting to run: run from knowledge, from consequences, and from—most of all—pain. I want to talk about the different ways this affects his character in what I hope to be a set of mini-essays, of which this is the first.
