Rose would be a shitty girlfriend but people really miss the flavor with exploring that when they take it as Rose not liking Kanaya as much as vice versa as opposed to her being painfully into Kanaya but not knowing how to like. Empathize with other people properly and being too self-absorbed to attend to any of Kanaya's needs, or even really notice when her own behavior is hurting her.
I think it's pretty well-established that Rose is super into her. Girl who drank her ass off before their first date bc she was nervous and constantly turmoiled over whether or not Kanaya was going to break up w her and wanting to make things better between them even leading up to her death, only people to say that she doesn't like Kanaya. If Kanaya broke up with Rose she would perish. Lines like "I never even got to tell her I love her" tell us nothing if not that Rose was painfully in love with Kanaya, but could never find it in herself to tell her. Whether this is because she was trying to protect herself on the chance that Kanaya got sick of her shit and decided to break up or because Rose was so out of it constantly she just could never get it out is up to interpretation. But Rose being a shitty girlfriend and her relationship with Kanaya being extremely important to her aren't concepts that are mutually exclusive. If anything I think they play hand in hand.
I also just think people need to give Kanaya more autonomy than they do. Don't get me wrong the power dynamic IS inbalanced. Rose is insane and constantly making mistakes and impulsive decisions and Kanaya is always left picking up the pieces when she does something crazy. Rose hurts Kanaya to an incomparable degree. Kanaya has far more patience for Rose than she probably should, but she isn't a doormat. The entire interaction Kanaya and Rose had on the meteor, where Kanaya flipped out on Rose for drinking right before they were due for a big fight, tells us so much about what their dynamic was leading up to this imo. This is a conversation they've had countless times before, Kanaya's anger is always followed up with some fearful suggestion from Rose that Kanaya is going to break up with her. Kanaya is a girl dealing with a partner deep in the throes of alcoholism, she's painfully compliant, but their interactions both leading up to them getting together and once they do both on the meteor and off of it show that the relationship anxiety is very one-sided. Rose is the only one worried about them breaking up, because she sucks and she knows that. Kanaya cares deeply for Rose but if either of them are going to be cooly cutting things off between them it's her, not Rose.
I love giving rosemary divorce particles, I can never be convinced that two girls who got together That Young could make it work between them without a ton of bumps in the road. I love that Rose is fucked up and self-centered and I like when people acknowledge this, but she DOES love Kanaya. To her own detriment. Kanaya is the one constantly disillusioned by Rose's behavior, the one who's commitment is constantly tested, not the other way around. Wish more people could acknowledge this... Rose loves Kanaya! And Kanaya loves Rose too, I think. But people really wooby her when they try to frame even the likes of pre-retcon rosemary like Kanaya is a nothing but a victim of Rose's vices, and that Rose somehow doesn't actually want to be in a relationship with her.
Pre-retcon rosemary was definitely on track to an untimely break up though. Rose wasn't going to be the one to pull that trigger though
SOOOO so important to me that the most prominent hero of heart in homestuck died by decapitation (multiple times) and the most prominent hero of mind died by being stabbed through the heart
like, jade used to be the one with the insight and prophetic visions because of everything she saw on prospit, which would make it sound like she'd grow to become a seer but no
and rose has always been the horrorterror loving goth who weaponizes magic, sure sounds like a witch but nope, seer
jaderose is an underrated ship in this essay i will
The implications that Jake knows more about the nature of reality than he lets himself realise is so interesting to me. It’s like he glimpsed the truth of plato’s cave but got scared of the shadows on the wall and promptly blew out the match
Wat do you headcanon the Omega kids classpects to be?
uuh i haven't thought about this before um. Well i doubt the kids would even have classpects since there's no sburb in existence for them to play, so they wouldn't have a reason to be cosmically attached to a God tittle, but whatever
Harry anderson egbert; Seer of Void
Vrissy maryam lalonde; Prince of Light
Tavros crocker; Bard of Hope
Yiffany longstocking lalonde harley; Maid of Space
my poor, quickly made reasoning ↓
harry makes costumes, puts together looks, takes part in plays, in essence he Creates. I would've gone for Mage of void but theater is a group effort so i assume he'd be a team player. he sees the potential in the nothing etc etc,
vrissy doesn't seem to like vriska an awful lot, so while i wanna tie her down to the light aspect in accordance with Aranea and Vriskas godtiers, i doubt she'd like this fate. So a prince she is, she wouldn't care for the luck for the lore for the truth, she just wants to do her own thing and maybe destroy someone/something
im making tavros a bard because i think if they'd actually give them classpects he would be a bard in awful irony, being made fun of by the universe etc, and he's not really hopeful to me so
yiffy has been in hiding all her life, she's had no place to fit in no house that feels like a home, she lacks space. But, i do think her story will have a happy ending, so in maid fashion she'll find her space. Space players are also lonely COUGH
i think damara/the handmaid and rose would find things to talk about, probably enjoy eachothers company
both dangerous and feared women, both victims to doctor scratch, both use suicide threats during strifes (( as well as needlekind! ))
and if rose was to ever compare her situation living with her mom to what damara grew up like damara could stare at her like how vriska stares at john when he compares cake to mindcontrol. do you see my vision
whenever i complain abt ppl being wrong abt homestuck to matty (never read it) she's just like. did they believe what the 13 year old said about themself again. and i'm like yeah
now i'm thinking abt rose using her friends' guardians as ammo in her arguments w mom. "at least dave's brother takes him seriously." delicious. i love when teens can't really grasp each other's abuse
my favorite little thing in homestuck is that bro strider clearly was trying to start the scratch on his own before bec noir memed on him. and thats such a dirk thing to do. told nobody about his plan. just decided he was going to reset the universe.
Sorry for the dumb question, but could a void player be able to go dogtier [and other fucked up fusion godtiers] or is that just a space player thing?
jade didn't go dogtier because of her being a space player, she went dogtier because her dreamself was prototyped with becsprite, and when awake!jade ( lol ) godtiered her dreamself and wakeself became one (( as is the case for everyone who godtiers )) so.. if a void player has that happen to em or a similar enough situation they'd dogtier yea
