Hello there! You sure wandered far to find me! Come sit down, let's chat for a bit.
I created this blog mainly to act as my hub for my ongoing Homestuck fic, Apperification, but it might just end up as a place a reblog Homestuck stuff to to inspire me. Feel free to ask questions (if the option exists for sideblogs, I am still very confused about how that works) if you're curious about something :>

jade and pm. the relationship between jade and pm-- or, more importantly, the lack thereof. im so emotional about this right now actually.
its. if wv and june's throughline is revolution and denying the narrative, then jade and pm's throughline is a sense of duty and suffering for the narrative. much has been said about jade being a piece in skaia's plan and the absolute heartwrenching reality that creates for her. i think everyone knows and understands this at this point. this is like, homestuck 101: jade harley feels a sense of duty to skaia because skaia has promised her her friends, and thus jade harley spends her entire life suffering in pursuit of the goal of one day making things alright.
of course, much has been said about pm in the same vein: pm's whole thing is that she has a duty to fulfill and protect the sanctity of The Mail and to ensure that it is delivered appropriately such that her community is assured. in doing so, she loses everything. she gives up her society, gives up her people, gives up her pacifism in pursuit of her duty-- and, when that duty is fulfilled, she loses everything again and is met with a new duty to avenge them all.
it is when we look at the relationship between pm and jade-- or, notably, the lack thereof --that there's something so much more interesting shining through here.
because they didn't just give up the worlds they loved, for their first duties. they gave up the exile-player relationship. not literally-- neither of them chose to give that relationship up, neither of them directly cause that relationship's abandonment --but in a very practical sense: jade has no guardian, because jade's life is a sacrifice to skaia, and so she is raised by bec-- and thus loses her exile, as bec refuses to allow a spy to watch her. on pm's side of things, it is by treating jade as a person that she has this relationship removed-- by reaching out to jade and questioning if she is the same as the person pm worked for, by asking direct questions, by recognizing jade as the object of her most important duty and thus following through on that duty.
they are the only exile/player pair that we know of who don't get at least a conversation in. the only pair that don't get at least a few commands. even the windswept questant gets something to rose-- a couple lines, enough to direct her on a path forwards.
pm does not get this. jade does not receive this. their duties to skaia deny them this experience, in a roundabout way, because their duties to skaia necessitate that both of them have their lives erased in favor of following the path laid out for them.
what, then, of the three-year journey? jade alone on the yellow yard, the prospitian monarch alone in her pursuit of jack. jade defending and maintaining the planets, the prospitian monarch defending and maintaining the memory of prospit. together, the two of them hold their home. together, they share an echo of the history that once was and yet never will be again.
isolation and mourning in the name of skaia's plans. isolation and mourning in the name of duty, of honor, of a happy ending.
and then something strange happens.
because pm and jade are the only exile/player pair where the exile does not guide the player-- but they are also the only exile/player pair who meet each other during collide. where jade guides pm. the only pair where, even post-exile, the player of the pair has guidance and command over the exile in question.
it is a fascinating reversal of roles. it is not the only thing to be said about the jade and pm relationship-- there is so much, there is so much --but it is an interesting thing to take into consideration. a reclamation of sorts, for both of them, a new path, a new dawn, where they can both break out of the molds skaia has built for them, where they can shed the shackles of their duties and begin to live, to heal, to exist as themselves rather than the duties laid out for them.

Jade and Dave binging all the Barbie movies together, Dave for ironic purposes, Jade cause she's nostalgic for them. In a twist of fate Dave ends up enjoying them semi-earnestly while jade is more cynical, nitpicking all the plot holes and nonsensical writing choices because they're not as good as she remembers.
I just want to see life through the eyes of someone who read Homestuck after the rise of Undertale's popularity. I wanna know how they reacted to [s] Wake. I want to be a fly on the wall of every person who goes into that blind.
imagine. you are someone who grew up on the internet, somewhere around 2010. in september of 2015, you hear of undertale, and it very quickly consumes your life. looking back on it now, you would probably say undertale was "your childhood." you were watching theory videos on youtube, binging the soundtrack, you even did tons of runs and replays of the game yourself. by 2018, undertale is cemented as an unshakable part of the internet and meme culture, and the more time goes on the more you look back fondly on it, but life goes on.
then it's 2020. your college closes down due to what is being called a potential pandemic. people start making jokes, "haha, since we're all stuck inside with all this free time, the ultimate irony is that now is the perfect time to read..."
homestuck. you've heard of it, vaguely, but despite it also being kind of pervasive in the culture, you've never really been able to parse what it is actually about. no time like the present, you decide, and you tear into it, and it's good.
Three-thousand two-hundred and ninety-seven pages into the comic, right in the thick of act 5, you encounter one of homestuck's typical flash animations. You press play.
And whatever you were expecting to happen when that sick guitar riff ended,
you were wrong.
Honestly i prefer this version of the song. The vhs quality, the lower tone, and the kickass guitars. It adds up so much to the "halloween" feel of it

babys first vision
If he has internalized homophobia then why he has no problem telling Dave he used to date a guy? Like, as you said, he cares about his reputation, and we know he really wanted Dave to like him, so that prolly means he was quite careful with what he could or couldn't say in front of him, specifically after he discovered that Bro abused him. So what I'm trying to say, if he cared about being gay, I think he would have avoided telling him he dated Jake? Or at least give it a second thought? I don't see what's the problem with Dirk being against labels, he seems that type of person, he prolly thinks that makes him more intellectual or some stupid thing like that
Hmmm thats not exactly what I said. I don't think Dirk has internalized homophobia so much as <he's afraid of the outside reception to the fact that he's gay, and how people will perceive him based on it>. Dirk knows that he's gay. We know Dirk is aware of that since he was at least 13, because he's already throwing undeniably romantic advances at Jake by then to test the waters. Dirk isn't in cutesy denial about anything here, he doesn't have the time or luxury for that. His problem is more that once you state 'Yes I Am Gay' as a definition of your character, that comes with a Lot of historical baggage and expectations- and from dirk's perspective, both the expectations and historical baggage are something so incredibly divorced from his reality in a future where no human society exists that he's waaaayyyyyy too careful of making that association. It could potentially bust the image he's trying to project.
Again, Dirk's thing is performance. Esp the performance of masculinity. He is the one homestuck character that truly, genuinely, wholeheartedly cares about putting up an image of what it means To Be Masc. He does this because he likes it. He's not forced to do it, he's not under societal pressure to do it, he's not whinning about how much he hates it, he's not doing it at gunpoint; this is a set of parameters he came up with for himself, even in complete isolation. They are a statement and holy boypledge he's making.
He thinks it is Very Cool, and he would like it if you thought it was Very Cool Too (especially if that transmits an image of how strong and reliable he "totally" is). And, again, when you think about our early 2000-10's context of GAYNESS, because homestuck is an extremely time-bound comic, the image "being gay" summons is... really not the one I described above. We're talking about gay men being stereotyped as catty & cowardly & effeminate, about the constant punchlines around 'useless fairies' (a term that was used to refer specifically *to* feminine, submissive, oft gender-transgressive gays ) not incidentally, Dirk's godtier is revealed to him in-comic through a drawing that depicts him as a fairy. He's immediately put off by it. Dirk and Jake's godtiers were called Fagtiers by more than a portion of the fandom. Relics of this are still high up on google images if you search for pictures of their godtiers, lol. Essentially, to admit to his gayness openly and broadly in that timeframe is to be stereotyped as something he doesn't entirely identify as, in an environment that is far from welcoming.
I am pretty open about reading Dirk as a trans man, and what I think is happening here is that together with Roxy's constant insinuations that Dirk Should Have Her Babies, Dirk is ultimately afraid that his claim to being a homosexual paints him as innately womanly. He either gets to be a man or he gets to love men. There's no middleground, or else these social features will cancel eachother out like pemdas. What we see in Homestuck is his haphazard attempt to keep both things intact. His courtship of Jake is only allowed if it is strictly masculine, if it seems like he has a semblance of control, if it looks like they are both just Dudes being Bros throwing it down like Fellow Action Men. This is harmful for Dirk and gives him extreme emotional constipation; not to speak of how tiring it is for Jake to try to keep up with this months-long improv game of Xtreme Axe Bodyspray Marathon when they could just... date. Jake really wouldn't mind if they decided to paint each other's nails or have stereotypical sleepovers or just chill out and have fun like Jane and Roxy are obviously doing. Jake would be fine with being soft so long as he's not being made fun of. But Dirk struggles with letting any sign of dangerous sensitivity show under the assumption that it will be read as a weakness, an inadmissible vulnerability in his set of armor.
Which becomes all the more relevant once you note that when Dirk's trying to convince Dave that he's not a threat and certainly not a monster, one of the first things he admits to is "I like men."

It's likeee. Yes highbloods are encouraged to be eugenecist and shit. That doesn't matter when they Are because they still Chose that. Lots of kids raised on the internet fall into really harmful beliefs and hurt other people and you can't handwave that away ! Society makes it easy for everybody to punch down and it's not really an excuse when you take that road. You can change to be better and you can grow up but it doesn't erase the harm you've done. I think homestuck fans are really eager to erase their blorbos flaws and bigotry when those things are important to their characters. They fuck up and hurt each other and themselves and then they (sometimes) grow up to be better and do positive things. But it's something they have to actively want and work for. They have to recognize they were a piece of shit and then actively work to Not Be. You don't get a blank slate you have to build up off of the past shit you've done to improve. I don't think I phrased all of this the best but yeagh
a person cannot change without dissecting why they did that in the past. and even if they did, they do not get a free pass to forgiveness. EVEN if they were put into turbo hell in the past, and they couldn’t survive without hurting others. it fuckin sucks, yeah but to be a person is to impact the lives of others. that impact is still there despite any personal growth after that event
EXACTLY :)
Can I ask where your Hal “cute but psycho” characterization comes from? Bc from what I remember he never really presented himself as Just A Little Guy. Is it bc you see him Sylph of Mind (presenting a front)? Your art’s really fun :3
He's not really "cutesy" (though he is cute to me), but he DOES deliberately downplay how genuinely scary and manipulative he is. I love Hal, so this is the Hal Essay now.
