aranea and meenah did nothing wrong

it is may 2021. for some reason i decided to read all of homestuck from start to finish (sans epilogues and sequel) in about half a month. i have Thoughts and Feelings about it (unfortunately). my inbox and askbox are open, talk 2 me about said thoughts and feelings and share yours, i think there are interesting things to be said about the homestuck archive reading experience and how it may contrast to the live serial reading fandom experience from what old discussions ive found. 🕸 random facts: i would die for the alpha kids, aranea, and meenah. vriska did nothing wrong except for the things she did wrong. i am a 25 yr old mexican and i have been on tumblr since the heyday of homestuck and idk how i escaped its grasp until a decade later. im very academiabrained about classpects. sorry in advance 🕸 main: @pechikka

as of june 2022 this is still open btw

send me any character/ship/classpect/story element/litcherally anything you want abt homestuck and ill give my Thoughts

if i had the means to do so i would literally pay people to give me stuff to talk about. aranea had the right idea

You know that thing would eat you if you died, right? *pointing to the false image of you that others perceive*

byakuya togami danganronpa is a seer of hope. this makes sense if you realize homestuck hope =/= danganronpa hope, and also is only true if you believe that classpects are descriptive and not predictive and all the nonsense rose did wasnt class inversion but was in fact a seer of light doing seer of light things.

Anyways he also literally cannot be percieved outside the lens of hope within his own spinoff novels because that is the condition of being togami byakuya.

karkat isn't actually the main character and there are many characters that have the same if not more significance in the story. karkat just thinks of himself as the main character and gets swallowed up by his self-pity, one that is understandable, but keeps him from being a truly great friend or leader to anyone. however he is my favorite so he's the main character to me, but we have to be honest when talking in actuality.

[redstonedust]

i always find it fascinating when a character gets headcanoned as both transmasc and transfem by different members of the fandom because it like. highlights how being closeted and stealth can look similar from the outside but are internally very different experiences. does your blorbo have a Thing (tm) about gender because they're trying to beat down the part of them that desperately wants to transition? or did they start transitioning a decade ago and view it as private information that theyre not gonna talk about casually. choose wisely because your answer may have implications.

The all-guy team plus one long-suffering girl who exists mostly to remind us that these dudes are theoretically heterosexual is of course a cartoon classic, but we shouldn't forget its counterpart, the all-girl team plus one moderately autistic-coded dude who's very keen to be treated as just one of the girls.

I so hate it when people treat Davesprite and Davepetasprite like completely seperate people like. Huh you really didn't get what that was all about now did you

It's legitimately "<Character transitions on screen> Okay but I liked it better when they were a guy who hated himself so I'm going to ignore that"

I've never thought about it like this and now I'm really annoyed oh my god

"but davepetasprite is more annoying" shut up mew're literally just davesprite but more authentic. you thought the bird man was hot you thought "i could fix him" ???? why don't you like him when he's better then????

i get your point tbh. seriously

I was speedrunning animal crossing for the gamecube out of boredom and while I was hunting all the 1% encounter rate fish I had a lot of time to think about stupid things

So here’s my classpect for every single special character in animal crossing for the gamecube

I did full color for the ones I’m most confident in, but I stand by all of my decisions

the leitmotifs in homestuck frustrate me so much because of how ambiguous they are sometimes, which is kinda natural given the music was a massive collaborative effort with relatively little direction etc but jus sometimes. sometimes i think about how touhou music is one of the main melodies in heir of grief and i just get the tiniest bit sad. sometimes i just wish there had been a bit more consistency to what melodies are tied to what characters and themes, because when they hit as intended its The Best Musical Moments Of Homestuck
