Knight of Light

[knightoflightandprisms]

I like the update to Dave's personality with the pilot, actually. The personality of Dave in the comic would not translate well from 2009 to 2025. I don't think a lot of us want to remember just how homophobic and crushing 2009 was for young queer men, but it was pretty bad. Pilot Dave being far more open and animated(ha) makes more sense in a world where it isn't a social death sentence for guys to tell their friends they love them.

Also if you think of a terminally online guy who refuses to admit he has emotions and loves swords in the year of our lord 2025, what do you think of? Cause I see red flags for some wannabe school shooter. That is NOT how that archetype read in 2009.

I put together a video comparing all the panels that were referenced in the spindelroo Homestuck pilot trailer.

Imagining the Vivziepop Karkat dialogue and smiling thoughtfully

Whatever this is, it will be interesting. Honestly I don't know who else I would give the rights to to make this show.

time to awaken from the dream💤

whenever i see someone who hates the locked tomb because they have distaste for taz muirs prose or characters or even her as a person specifically i nod sagely and move on with my life because people having different opinions than me is fine but whenever i see someone who hates the locked tomb because it has homestuck cooties on it i want to hit them over the head with a brick repeatedly

[ot3]

its interesting that 'this thing is in too much proximity to homestuck for me to like it' is sentiment i have seen towards the locked tomb in a significant enough volume for me to get mad about it. but not something i have ever seen anyone say about undertale, a game that was programmed in andrew hussie's basement. i'm sure there are only legitimate reasons for this disparity.

[davestriderpostscratch]

Dave's refusal to be thought of as a hero vs Vriska's pathological need to be important and the savior. This dynamic really is an untapped gold mine.

every pair of sunglasses in existence couldn’t hide dave from the spotlight that vriska craves the warmth of but vriska is breaking her nails on the floor of the stage endlessly trying to claw her way out of the shadows that dave would do anything to flee into

[davestriderpostscratch]

[hellmurderisland]

do we need to do an ectobiology refresher for the homestuck fandom or what because i understand why it's kinda confusing but it's also explained very clearly (well, as clearly as it can be) in the comic you should not be forgetting the basics of who is related to who

[hellmurderisland]

[poidkea]

If vriska and karkat were to ever kiss... Who would instigate it?

Vriska

it wouldn’t go well though.

[conceptofjoy]

to counter the sheer power of the jake vriska and dave trio, who does dirk and terezi inlist on their team

jane

rose

karkat

calliope

someone else?

Voting ended onApr 29, 2024

theres no right answer btw just asking

[knightoflightandprisms]

Jake, Vriska, Dave is what you point at the problem you need to hit impossibly hard.

Dirk, Terezi, Rose is what you point at the problem you need to bullshit.

[davestriderpostscratch]

i always thought it was funny that caliborn only used the r word like once in the comic considering that, if you were going to make this argument, he’s one of like four characters that could have a genuine slur reclamation case built for him

[ladylolalilly]

…Who are the other three?

[davestriderpostscratch]

it’s like. ok mituna definitely. nepeta if you take karkat’s comment about her being autistic literally. caliborn as mentioned. i actually don’t know if there IS a fourth i just threw that number out

[loki-zen]

what do you mean only four? it's genuinely hard to think of a homestuck character who isn't arguably autistic

[davestriderpostscratch]

yeah but i mean in terms of like. it being explicitly said in canon. the word autistic is used to describe nepeta. caliborn says out loud that he has a learning disability. the neurodivergence with almost every other character is just like really heavily implied

[knightoflightandprisms]

All the kids being neurodivergent is subtext. The subtext happens to be in bold and all caps, but it is still subtext.

[gertritude]

"you know what? Fuck this. Fuck you" but instead of being followed by a bad take, it just keeps going

[gertritude]

You know what? Fuck this. Fuck you. I've fucking had it. I can't take this anymore. Fuck off. In all honesty, I've had enough. Fuck everyone. I'm at my goddamn limit here. I'm about to snap. Everyone shut up. Here's a hot take: fuck it. I'm done with everything.

[knightoflightandprisms]

Karkat

[calware]

mom lalonde would do this if she actually enrolled rose into school

[davestriderpostscratch]

dave only ever gets to be 5’9 due to mild malnutrition and various other growth stunting activities in his youth but alpha dave got to be like 6’5 and once dave finds this out from dirk he steams about it for like three weeks

[knightoflightandprisms]

Dave: Come on, Jane. You gotta at least try!

Jane: For the last time I'm not experimenting on you!

Dave: .....

Dave: Hey Jade! Can you stretch me?

[knightoflightandprisms]

What each kid would be if they hadn't ended the world

John: Never has a single job for more than a year. Has done everything at least once.

Rose: English major that then ended up at a bland desk job. She has a few published works.

Dave: You know those kids that became teachers because one teacher saved their life growing up by just being the only adult who would listen? Dave's a teacher.

Jade: Physicist. She can't vent about her work because none of her friends would pass a security background check. She shouldn't be able to pass one either but the Feds never found that out.

Jane: Corporate if you want her to be miserable. Owning a Cafe if you want her to be happy.

Dirk: Engineer. Have you ever met an Engineer? Dirk is just the right kind of autistic to be an Engineer.

Jake: Ecologist. He spends his days hiking through swamps to find and catalogue fungus and he is the happiest he could possibly be. He somehow manages to get bit by something on every outing.

Roxy: Have you ever met those cyber security people who have done every single drug known to man and are actual wizards? Like John McAfee if he was a very different kind of nuts.

[knightoflightandprisms]

You guys really like this one huh? Alright here's some more!

Jane, Roxy, and Rose run some kind of scripted horror/true crime podcast. I will not comment on whether or not it's any good.

Dave gives off middle school science teacher vibes. Whenever he's swamped with grading he calls up Jake. He used to call Jade too until her 'science experiment' left a crater in the school parking lot.

Dirk and Jade are no longer allowed to scheme together after The Incident. It started with a Gundam marathon.

John is the single most helpful friend ever. Jane will call him up to ask if he can help with the bakery and he'll be at the door in ten minutes. He's the beta reader of everything Rose writes. He's the only thing standing between the girl's podcast and it being so complicated that no one can understand it.
