a more discourse oriented thing, but I've been having some thoughts about june/john egbert

gender is a social construct. john was textually a guy during homestuck. he was made a trans woman afterward via an irl competition, which was then ignored and fucked over by the epilogues and hs^2. but who says she has to conform to a set presentation?

what about a june who has her hair a little long because she likes it, but not too much because its annoying and hard to manage. what about a june who identifies as a woman but sometimes falls back on masculine presentation and pronouns because they feel better at the moment. what about john just having fun with his identity and doing what feels right after living a sheltered life of male/female binaries

I'm reading an astrology book my mom bought and realizing just how much it ties in with homestuck. objectively I knew that some signs are in opposition to others and how there are traits shared across those in a part of a zodiac, but reading how Taurus is opposed by Scorpio and Cancer is sensitivity under a shell really makes everything click into place

Hello. Today I am here to talk about... Princes. And how they aren't a bad class to be classpected as. This was inspired by a conversation in a discord chat between me, @jaycespades, and another person who wasn't comfortable with being classed as a Prince.

From what I've experienced, the main reason to Princes being a little more negatively seen seems to be thier depiction in-comic. Neither Dirk nor Eridan are good examples if seen at a glance. However for much of the comic, they were not aligned with the ideal of thier class. Princes are very destructive, that is true, but thier class goal is to grow to regulate that destruction, and use it in a positive way. Until that, they may seem to run rampant, and depending on the aspect and other factors, this can be varying amounts of true.

Princes, as Jayce put it, are meant to purposely and obviously destroy thier aspect, which shines true in the comic. A goal for both destructive classes is to learn to regulate thier destruction, and use it to promote growth, like burning a field to spur on new plants, or getting rid of a cancerous cell. However, this growth can be slow, and not very noticeable. This holds true for all classes, but puts more pressure on Bards & Princes because thier mistakes are more obvious due to thier destructive nature. Depending on aspect, they will either have wild outburts of emotion, or overanalyze everything to the point of it no longer making sense. These often end badly, but it will get better, even if it doesn't feel like you're making any progress.

But its ok if you don't want to call yourself by that title, or any title! Words are just words, and if you don't like a set of them, go ahead and choose another instead.

oof hi your dual dreamer signs are cool, is it ok if i ask how you came up with the designs and names for them?

i've been thinking ab maybe making signs with combined aspects, bcuz i'm an indecisive bastard, but that's a massive undertaking and i'm not sure where to start ~_~;

ah thank you! im mostly just glad other people ended up liking them ！(￣w￣;)

the designs were mostly me mixing aspects of the base signs, or (rarely. maybe like. once?) coming up with a unique shape i thought would look good?

the names... well fun fact: i actually have like. paper notes on signs n classpecting stuff n part of that has notes on the split up part of what makes a sign name. so like. the caste prefix, the aspect suffix, and the variants in both depending on which aspect or caste we're talking about. so essentially looking at what changes in that depandant on moon & just making a new version i thought sounded good

the titles though were me just spending ages looking at, comparing, n contrasting, n looking up synonyms n definitions n whatnot for the preexisting moon dependent signs. you, quite obviously id hope, do not have to go this far

n yeah combined aspects would be incredibly huge. this was me essentially smushing the number down, but thatd be multiplying it depending on how many combos you do so. if you do choose to do that! good luck! i wish you the best in your monumental task. if not, completely understandable ofc. hell, take as long as you need to (this got dragged out to at least two years iirc? i definitely couldve kicked it out in less if id focused only on this but alas) and dont feel obligated to do many at all (hell all this started bc i couldnt choose between pira & piza, so just made a combo sign. i had no plans for more than that)

hope ur day goes well, n if you do choose to start this! i wish you the best!

Hey. It’s been a while. So, since the last time I was properly active, I graduated, got a job, got a new computer, started messing with my artstyle again, and started working on a couple new ideas. Most of those were unrelated, but a few were actually relevant to this blog. I’ve got a few canon fix-it fic series ideas I’m planning out (a Homestuck one included), several things for Nexus, and a few same universe-different people stories set in Nexus’ orbit. Alongside this there’s the current analysis requests, more Nexus & adjacent planning, stories, and general upkeep. And it’s hard to get the motivation and will to do them. I’m going to set up a list, maybe an actual schedule (if there is a god, they know I need one sdfghjgh) & do my best to work my way through my goals, even if it’s when I don’t really feel like it. I wish you all the best, and may you have a good day, a good week, and a good rest of the year, no matter what you celebrate.

with the change from this to a general homestuck blog, I've been making a few changes, and am now considering changing the url!
