Homestuck Analytic blog

[mirthfulcomplex]

Hello, I am Moon. 21 . She/he. TME

My main is here

Welcome to my novice analytic blog :o].

This blog is just where I (amateurish) critically re-examine gender and racial dynamics within Homestuck.

===>

I don't shy away from discussing sexual trauma and racism. But I will tag. I am very much a black person (Spectifically Black Carribean). So I will be extremely criticial with what I see. We don't dance here

I am dyslexic so I make a few grammatical errors here and there. It also takes me a while to process information and write. I deeply appreciate patience.

Don't feel like putting up a DNI. But I do curate on here so yeah.

I was always confused by the dots above Gamzee's eyes, but I think I figured it out: he's Cubone

There's a cool crown on Tumblr called Back to School. It's so sad for us. I have four kids who haven't been to school in two years because of the war in Gaza.

I tried to pay money for them to go to a kindergarten to learn some school lessons so that they would not forget knowledge and learning.

But conditions are difficult here in Gaza because of the war. The risks of going and returning are high and the costs are high as well. It is sad that they remain uneducated.But there are things in Gaza that are even sadder and more cruel. My children have been exposed to famine, hunger and starvation.Also to the bombing and destruction.. We lost everything

Did you know that we are not treated humanely here!! Yes, no one treats us humanely here. I am just trying to keep my children alive and to survive everything we are exposed to.

I remind you that with your support and donations, we and the children may survive this war. With your support, we may provide them with some food and some security. Donate now please

This post really moved me. I’ll share it so more people know what’s happening and can support.

[nourasbasha]

My friends, please donate to us and our children.

My niece Toleen died from malnutrition at just two months old.

Please look at us with mercy and donate if you can.

Tulin came into our lives after five long years of hoping and waiting.

Malnutrition took her before we ever got the chance to watch her grow.

I’ve lost many family members to bombings — but I never imagined hunger would take one too.

[aboodgaza0]

The world is devoid of mercy; it doesn’t feel for the children🥺

Would love to hear your thoughts on Grimdark Rose and Gamzee during murderstuck being seen as achieving 'self-actualization' by receiving the absolute truth :]

ooh interesting... i think the idea of absolute truths within homestuck is kind of a farce, right? at least in terms of like truths that are applicable and understandable from the perspectives of the characters. i.e both characters realizations which lead to these states (do i dare be so bold to assert they are the same thing. pretty sure i already have) are moments spurred on sure, by truths that irrevocably shift their perspectives and sense of selves towards a fatalism that accelerates the plot. but they are just that; intentionally manipulated presentations of those truths done with an intentionality from the same villainous force.

a lot of the gnostic implications within homestuck are ones that dont pay off for the characters except as a means of presenting that knowledge to a character as a form of control over them. which isnt a critique even i think its like... commentary. this is not about gamzee or rose but i think this is further exemplified in the way (among other things) terezis memories of the retconned timeline being delivered kind of.... sans an actual discovery despite the continuous build up on the ideas of how her aspect informs(/is informed by) her own search for an an ultimate knowledge through which uncovering of truth and self actualization can occur. (in this sense we can kind of understand gamzee and rose as sharing an experience where hers is something else, too.). and thus we only actually see her actualized as far as that particular moment allows her to be for the sake of perpetuation of the story. but thats a tangent this aint about her.

the same applies to rose and gamzee, though, who get to be in the know wrt their respective inscrutable truths but only insofar as the actions that they then act upon can continue to be manipulated by scratch. sure they are being presented with the reality of their fates but like.... not in any kind of way that primes them to meaningfully dissent against what the force to perpetuate these mindstates wants out of them. which there is a relevancy there with which characters Get to be forces that can contend with that idea at all. its a continued attribute of rose to be distressed by her own knowledge of her role and an incapacity to change it. which other characters lack understanding for. and well gamzee is gamzee. purple girls go grimdark and grimdark is thematically tied to a loss of agency as much as it is a propensity for rage and violence.

Vriskan would be soo much cooler if Kanaya's problems were called out as well me thinks

[mirthfulcomplex]

I'm not trying to pathologize my girl's desire, but im just saying that the pattern of her generally not taking light player's issues seriously should be studied more.
