Hello New Followers and also Tag Browsers. Are you looking for an Ongoing Homestuck PostCanon Horror Spin-Off Webcomic? No? You are now. Read my team and I's hit webcomic, SOVEREIGNSTUCK! It's good! Synopsis below. Hit the Favorite button on it, too - that helps tell even more people everywhere that the comic's good, which it is. We're just getting started, but the fans certainly seem to like it, and the community's quite nice. They're always looking for more people to chat with, and we (as devs) are always looking for more people to appreciate this cool thing we're making together. And presumably, you're looking for a cool thing, too. Win/Win.

SOVEREIGNSTUCK

A story about a boy, his friends, and a god-making machine.

Does putting a bunch of Socially Maladjusted Marginalized High Schoolers in a broken RPG Deus Ex Machina with a focus on seizing Narrative Control from each other and molding its Players into Better Characters - not Better People - sound like a bad idea? Is it any better if they're stuck in there with game veteran Paradox Space Reincarnates of the Alpha Trolls as their guiding Patrons? How about their own Ancestors from millennia past, stuck in stasis in the depths of The Game for thousands of years, fully isolated from the real world, yet still fully ready to give their opinions on everything? No? Guess those guys are fucked, then! Might as well join the ride about it, huh?

Oh, and... Mind the Content Warnings, alright? It's gonna be a Turbulent one.

does liking something with racist elements like su or gravity falls make you a bad person and are u still allowed to enjoy those shows despite that

can people stop being christian in my inbox

[plaidos]

i don’t know how to tell you this but literally the entire world has racist elements. you would be incredibly hard pressed to find any tv show — especially produced in the US — that does not have racist or otherwise obviously bigoted elements. the important thing is to identify, analyse & deconstruct those elements rather than to magically find something without them, because again, every tv show has been produced on a world fuelled by institutional racism, in the shape of those racist institutions.

would you ever be interested in redrawing some of your* old art since you're a new host?

*art from before you formed made by the prior host, i know your is a complicated word here

you're good! i tend to refer to that as myself* as well, just with an asterisk (invisible or not). the body did it, and that looks functionally identical to outsiders, even if we have much different personalities!

and, maaaaaybe? if i have a compelling reason to do so. i'm not too big into recreating my older works, i like to let things speak for themselves and exist in their own point in time, and show where i was at as a person + artist when i made it. if it shows that i sucked at things or lacked some kind of sauce, that's valuable, too

In your recent notes rereading Homestuck re: June's thoughts being similar to plurality, what you said about how she recognizes WV's signals helped me realise my own plurality, so thank you for talking about that!

oh yaaaay! that makes me very happy to hear!! i wish you well on your journey, and remember to be nice to your headmates no matter what!!!

there are many ways plurality can look, it's different for basically everyone!! don't fight yourself to mirror popular consensus, it's YOUR brain, not the publics!!

i'm finding myself quite tickled by his strange and juvenile politics. awww <3 he's sucks <3

much to consider, re: the concept of carapacians having caste-based diets. if i'm recalling correctly, there's a lot in homestuck about your caste having immutable physical identifiers. this is more or less accurate to real life - though obviously it doesn't go as far as the mouth structure + dietary specialization, blood color, etc., we still are often ranked on sight based on physical appearance. skin color, clothing quality and origin, facial features, our hair, so on.

i wonder about the political implications behind the carnivorousness of carapacian superiors, and the herbivorousness of carapacian laypeople. i'd certainly like to assume that their dietary differences come about through mere ease of access - with meat only accessible to the rich, and vegetables considered the diet of commoners. considering WV is a farmer, that can explain the access to vegetation - you can just easily grow it right on the field. what about the meat, though? where do the higher-ups get their meat? moon cows? fallen carapacians??

both carapacian common people and ruling class are homodonts, also. this isn't related to much. just find it interesting. imagine a theoretical heterodont carapacian middle class with me

[nekropsii]

okay, so if we're going with my theory that the book on human etiquette is written by carapacians, then this was a guide specifically written by and for the ruling class. note the sharp teeth and meat being the only thing listed as sustenance. is this preparation for human contact? or perhaps, is mimicking human behaviors an aspect of the ruling class? kind of like how the ruling class on alternia uses human words like "refrigerator" instead of "hunger trunk".

also, it appears the answer is largely moon cows.

WHERE DO YOU GET THE ANDREW HUSSIE COMMENTARY?!?!??!?!?!? I CANT FIND IT ANYWHERE

i don't believe it's an option on the official website, if that's what you're trying to do. it's an option on the unofficial homestuck collection app (obligatory mention that the guy behind it is evil), though, and it's in the physical book releases, since that's what the commentaries were initially made for

she has plenty of interesting things to say! i'm leaving out a lot of the commentary, even if i really like what she's putting down, because i just really don't have anything to add a lot of the time. i am compiling some fun ones, though. i'll post that when i get enough of them!

the best female characters are the ones that online discourse calls annoying and cannot stand. this is a fact sorry. the more hated she is by the online sphere the better her character is sorry
