merc / late 20s / they pronouns / homestuck blog / @oceanlandworld is my main!

[theseriousjester]

who's this clown?

(or: i need more homestuck blogs to follow so i'm tagging this in the hope it reaches the relevant people)

i've been using this blog for a little while so this seems like as good an opportunity as any for a pinned/promo

i'm merc! i was a Homestuck Teen in the early to mid 2010s and for a really long time i wanted nothing to do with it because i got so badly burned by the trajectory of the writing. but! life works in mysterious ways and here we are in 2025

i'm doing a reread in conjunction with listening to homestuck made this world podcast, something that's been really enjoyable for me in a lot of ways! i really like the metacommentary the hosts engage in and it covers a lot that i find really interesting about the comic and how it interacts with pop culture

ANYWAYS. all of this is to say that i follow very few homestuck blogs that are not run by my friends lol and i'd love to see who else around has the same points of interest as me!

i'm particularly interested in metacommentary and critical analysis, but i also want to see who is keeping the gamtav flame alive cuz ive had Problems about them since 2011 and im less scared of being pelted with tomatoes than i used to be

other relevant info abt me:

im in my late 20s but i dont mind getting follows/interactions from minors

i have no interest in posting/sharing any kind of sexual art/fic but i Do talk a fair amount about some of the really heavy themes in homestuck, including child abuse and csa; i try to tag for those posts but i wanna put a heads up here abt that too

i am however probably Not gonna tag drugs talk unless i get a specific request for it. mostly cuz i dont want to bother tagging any time i mention being high lmfao

i also like posting art sometimes

gamzee and tavros are my favorites 4ever

other faves include jade, aradia, feferi, roxy, calliope, and Probably More but i'm still pretty early in my reread so idk how my feelings will develop over time compared to my hazy memories. etc

Theres a million drawings of jade harley holding planets in a sick pose floating in space and every time without fail i go "fuuuuuck thats so cool... jades so cool....."

was talking to paya abt this the other day but learning that the beta kids have smartphones in the homestuck cartoon keeps unsettling me. dont do that

There should be a American football team associated with the moon + bad dreams, that descends to cause chaos on other football games. They would be called the Moon City Nightmares and they can invade your football game like dark souls.

[Image ID: Two screenshots. The first reads:

I think if you’re thinking about, like, what’s-his-name Hero’s journey shit, then Owen is the least interesting character, in that he doesn’t grow as he decays. Until perhaps at the very end of the movie he’s discovering or seeing something that explains the decay. And in this sense, he could be called, by, like, a hack studio executive, a passive narrator. /

The second screenshot reads:

At the same time, I think that kind of “passivity” feels inherently tied to an experience that I — and many other trans folks — can relate to on a deeply visceral level. It indicates exactly how our ideas about what proper narrative or progress is is not only woefully limited in the experiences it’s showing, but also like maybe by definition, masculine and cis. [It’s] reflective of an idea of agency and individual agency that doesn’t resonate with other experiences, like my own. And so I am trying to rewrite or call into question or challenge or simply just like, exist within alternative ideas of narrative structure, to express something that feels emotionally truthful to my experience of the world. /End ID]

i also want to find a way to address some of the thematic stuff around abuse and power dynamics and especially csa bc the way homestuck proper Touches on these things and then ultimately imo fumbles them frustrates me so bad

[theseriousjester]

Is their anyway we could hear what you planned for the story you were working on. If you lost interest that’s okay but I would like to hear what you were thinking about.

hi anon you sent this a month ago but i am Finally Ready to reply. sorry for the wait! i havent lost interest but i tend to cycle thru projects and fixations. ive been having some internal struggles w/ sustained attention to homestuck bc of brain junk on my end but i Do want to work on and hopefully finish it eventually!

there's a lot i want to incorporate into it and my plans have changed significantly from my original concept but im still excited about it!

i want to start it around hivebent but with a focus on gamzees pov and his progression thru the game + interactions with other characters for the first part; i really want to write abt him as tavros' client player since that Happened but we see absolutely none of it and i think about this a normal amount. also gives me an opportunity to write abt tavros stuff from the pov of someone who actually likes him

this gets into more spoilery plot stuff but idrc about putting it here

the central premise is that main timeline dream!gamzee from the end of act 6 communicates via dreams with the pov gamzee to essentially try to break the chain of events that lead to being trapped in a box unable to die for 3000 years or w/e

i want to play with the ideas of determinism and hierarchy that permeate homestuck in ways i find really frustrating and misanthropic and also get to play with dream stuff

i need to familiarize myself w/ endgame homestuck more to decide how i want to do stuff but yea. idk how exactly i want to do this but im going to find a way to write gamzee not killing nepeta for both plot divergence reasons and also bc i love her and want her to get characterization outside of that equius, who im still killing bc i hate him. yay

[theseriousjester]

anon i PROMISE i will get back to you i just have been busy but. thinking of gammyfic

[theseriousjester]

@ anon im going to bed but will try to reply tomorrow!!
