Welcome (About Me Post)
Hello! My name is Apollo! You might be aware of some of my works on Medium as Homestucco Writer. Basically, Iām a guy who really likes Homestuck and loves theory-crafting and analyzing it! Admittedly, Iām not so proud of previous theories Iāve done in the past years. My essay on light players and sociology for example, feels extremely...myopic.Ā This is not to say that everything in there is wrong, but there is a certain degree of nuance I believe I missed. It keeps me up at night ;) You should know... (PLEASE READ ME): A lot of my thoughts are rooted in a lot of Optimistic Duelistās take on the class/aspect system. Interpretations of which are inextricably tied to my relationship to race, sexuality, and personal experiences.Ā Rather than minimizing those biases or pretending to not have them, Iāve decided to make them apparent whenever they are relevant. Furthermore, I will be synthesizing info from various non-related sources that I find parallels between. I am a university student, who had up until last year, majored in Sociology. Expect to see a lot of social theory especially when analyzing Alternia. Other times you might see Freudian stuff. Iām not limiting myself to a genre. Homestuck as a work, seems to borrow heavily from pop-culture, ideas and theories, so I donāt think itās farfetched to think a bit out of the box on my analysis. I would strongly recommend reading this first before looking at any of my analysis to avoid any confusion about how Iām reading the narrative:Ā https://pagedelight.tumblr.com/post/659553615628976128/in-a-recent-post-you-mentioned-how-jades Classpect? I like to think Iād be a Prospit Page of Light if I existed in Homestuckās universe. My Extended Zodiac sign is Taurpio: Sign of the Student (Prospit+Light).
Rules of Engagement: These rules exist mostly for the sake of my sanity which takes critical damage when I have to repeat and or justify myself repeatedly. I do my best to be fair about their implementation.
1. I will not be answering questions that could have been answered by having read the above. 2. I respectfully ask that no one asks me to classpect them. That being said, you can use stuff here to classpect yourself if youāre creative enough :D 3. Please do not send NSFW content or anything of that sort. 4. Take everything you read with a grain of salt. I did notĀ write Homestuck. I am notĀ an authority.Ā
