did bleach even explain what yachiru was??

Kenpachi’s Bankai, apparently. It never really made total sense, and it’s clear that this wasn’t something that Kubo had planed out from the beginning. But yeah, Yachiru was a walking, talking embodiment of Kenpachi’s Bankai that was outside of himself. So when Kenpachi “awakened” her or whatever, she went into him (or into his Zanpakuto?) and stopped existing in the outside world

isnt weird to think how different homestuck would be if it were started today instead of 2009?

god i can’t even imagine, like. Literally so. on both the internet landscape and story end of things it’d probably be a very different narrative???? there’s a ton that COULD stay essentially the same i think, but how much of that would’ve been conceived of at all if the comic were only starting Now...... Who Knows....... .

no, i was thinking of dirk. he built brobot and everything AR did was done with dirks authorization

Ah. Sorry for putting words in your mouth, if that’s what I did–I was kind of wired yesterday and I don’t remember my exact wording too well, so I’m worried I mighta come off that way. Kinda forgot this is a view people still have, honestly. Suffice it to say, I feel you’re incorrect. AR was explicitly not acting with Dirk’s authorization, since AR explicitly screens/blocks all of Jake’s messages to Dirk after the very first one that Dirk reads. And Dirk wasn’t even able to keep up with the circumstances leaving up to Unite Synchronize–his entire narrative is him being overwhelmed by the amount of information he has to process and unable to keep up. It doesn’t make sense to attribute Unite Synchronize to anything but AR’s design, especially since Dirk lays the events squarely on AR’s shoulders–despite being inclined to assume responsibility and self-loathing for anything he perceives as his mistakes–and AR not only doesn’t deny it, but actively takes credit for it.

As for the Brobot, Dirk certainly did build it, but that’s not really comparable to what Vriska does, and it’s questionable how much it lines up with Dammek currently. Mainly because Dirk was explicitly trying to give Jake what Jake very loudly, very boldly said he wanted, and as it turns out Jake demonstrably likes the Brobot–it’s AR he was frustrated with in canon for the most part. 

I wrote several essays on this already that can be found here, so you’re free to read that and agree/disagree at your pleasure. Regadless, I consider the “Dirk was abusive/toxic to Jake (and depending on who you ask, AR)” reading little more than bad, outdated fanon.

oh yea, you guys are way better! thats what i love about this. a game needs rules to be a game or its calvinball and has no goal. a story needs rules or it becomes pointless and cant end in a satisfactory way! but you two are doing so much better about keeping to your own rules and i appreciate it!

Well, we try our best. Of course any rules we generate are similarly drapery-justification, but I do strive for some level of consistency, at the least. Hopefully we can keep it up.

is being a hipster something youre born with? science needs to know

no, it’s oregon. i was considerably less hipster and then i moved to oregon and now im storing everything in mason jars ironically 

[saccharinescorpion]

wait, i thought wall-e was about anti-capitalism, avoiding over consumption, and environmentalism, i completely missed the "tech makes people lazy" thing

yeah, i mean, it’s about those things too, which would be cool on their own, but it’s also predecessor to the “we’re all toooo dependent on screens” school of thought with a good ol dash of ‘oh no, fat people’
