"I wouldn't be so certain. It still feels like not everyzhing has un-lodged from my body." Claude lamented with a wiry groan.

you work at a bank in an office? that sounds like a dream compared to my current job. and your tags made me giggle 😆

Listen, my dude, once I figured out I could put a wireless earbud in my ear and hide it behind my hair so I can actually have some background music while I work, this really has been a comfy spot. And I hear all sorts of things outside my door because the tellers are nearby. It's hilarious.

And thank you! I'm glad more people besides me appreciates my side commentary that is my tags. 😂 I love reading tags.

Cogito ergo sum. (I think, therefore I am.)

Rene Descartes

Do I exist, or do I not exist? Am I a figment of someone’s imagination?

Or am I the villain to someone else’s narrative?

Through their mastery of creation magicks, men could weave anything into existence. Anything they could imagine, they could bring forth─anything, that is, except a soul. As Hades well knew, souls spontaneously manifested within creatures that were born in accordance with the laws of nature. It was a gift from the star itself, long held to be impossible to recreate. No artificial being, no matter how subtly sculpted in the image of nature, could come to possess a soul. Such creations occupied a separate classification known as arcane entities.

This had better be absolutely preposterous.

Hi; I’m Elf. I journaled at LiveJournal for years, switched to Dreamwidth after the Strikethrough 07 fiasco (well, a few years after, when Dreamwidth got created), and I’ve been dodging both tumblr and Homestuck for years. My buddy chibipaw has finally chivvied me into making a “liveblog” thingie, in which I will supposedly be reading Homestuck and posting about my bafflement for your entertainment.

I’m told this is a thing. It’ll be fun, she says. I’ll watch for spoilers for you, she says. She’s an admin here. She’ll be reading the asks before I see them. She’ll be ruthlessly deleting anything spoiler-ish, and I’ve told her to use a heavy hand for that.

She said I should put a bucket in my avatar. There’s a bucket in my avatar. I have no idea what a bucket is doing in my purple room, but there you have it: disco ball, Scion cubimal, purple flowers on a shelf, bucket. Someone better be laughing uproariously.

I know there’s something about moieties, which are some kind of relationship thingie that doesn’t parse to “pairings” as most fandoms do. I know there are trolls; I know they have nonhuman anatomy, including genitalia. (Being directed to tumblr posts full of pics of “tentabulges” was my main reason for wanting to read HS.) I know the trolls start as grubs, because chibipaw makes little fimo grubs that are adorable. I know a handful of names—Karkat, Equius, Eridan—because she’s made grubs of them, and because I hear them around. I know the trolls have astrological symbols on their t-shirts, and chibipaw, a virgo, isn’t happy with the troll with “her” sign. (I am also a virgo. We’ll see how that goes.)

I know it’s created by Hussy (sp?) and that he’s very cool with the fandom. I know it’s got a zillion stories at AO3, and that the trolls all have a talking style involving swapping out letters for various numbers or other characters, and that there’s a chat program that does that for you automatically for RP purposes.

I know more, but it’s all bits and fragments. TELL ME NOTHING.

I want to discover it all on my own. Chibipaw will be pre-screening asks and possibly replies and reblogs (if it gets too risky, we’ll turn off replies); she considered screening out usernames that could be spoilers. I decided we’re not being that fanatical unless someone decides to be a jerk about it.

This is probably going to be updated weekly, starting tomorrow, until it latches into my brain and I can’t get away and have to post more often. But the first few weeks will probably be slow, because they’re re-reads. Chibipaw insists that me doing half an hour a week of homestucking will make her happy, so that’s the current plan.

She also insists that, at some point, Homestuck will eat holes in my brain and twist my understanding of reality, or will otherwise be momentous and delightfully weird. We’ll see. My brain is already a pretty twisted place. I’m not so much hoping for “brain-breaking twists” as something I will come to cherish as much as Glitch. And I don’t expect that—I’m just hoping.

And looking forward to tentabulge art that makes sense in context. (Do not send me pictures; I’m not there yet.)

Bucket?

(Don’t answer that.)

Pinterest got all reorganized and now it's got all sorts of nifty stuff. And a wedding proposal category. That's what it's called. 

I mean, that's all good and well, and some of them are cute to read about. And I guess it's supposed to get you to think about how you want propose/be proposed to. 

But I don't want just a wedding proposal. I want a marriage proposal. I don't want someone who is essentially asking "hey, do you wanna walk down the aisle together and be happy through our wedding to the honeymoon?" I want someone who is asking "Will you be my wife? Will you be mine, and I yours for the rest of our lives? Because you're the only woman I see, and the only one I want to see. In ten years, I'll love you, and in sixty years, I will love you. Let's have a marriage."
