Thanks to everyone who came to see me at yesterday's New Dorp Comic Con on my home turf of Staten Island. I had a wonderful time, and appreciated seeing everyone, not to mention all the lovely fan art and the nice gift bag of Japanese snacks (and a pair of Crayon Shin-chan chopsticks, which I will definitely be using). I was very surprised by the turnout and didn't have a moment to myself the entire time, which is the way you want a con to go. At least that's how I like them to go, I can have a moment for myself when I get home. A log moment, preferably in front of a horror movie with my cat on my lap. Or reading. Or asleep.
My friend Ron Hill from JHU Comics in Staten Island was nice enough to provide me with a video of my panel from the convention, which I've made available on my Patreon for all backing tiers starting at $1 a month:
Also -- while I'm here: I've been trying to answer my Tumblr messages as best as I can. I don't have a ton of time to deal with them along with my DMs on Instagram, Patreon and questions I get on Bluesky. I wasn't going to answer any of them on the regular but am trying. I'll miss some of them, I'm sure, and I can't promise I'll get to everyone. You can help me out by keeping questions to the point and as specific as possible -- I'm sorry but there's no way I can give you detailed career advice or tell you how to get into comics or how to start making comics (other than you should just start making comics). Please understand I have to work and support myself and my family and everything I do on social media takes me up to eight hours some weeks, and I'm only one person. Doing my best.

Hi ! Could you write something where like y/n is sucking or playing with heeseungs dick & she just got her fresh nails done and they’re pretty and EVERHTING & she poses with heeseungs dick and adds a bow …
(Sorry for taking so long to respond to your request)
French Tip ~ L. HS




pairing: sugar-daddy!bf!heeseung x babygirl!gf!reader| wc: 1.3k | plot: after getting your nails done, you're excited to show Heeseung your fresh, new set. | cw: 🔞MDNI!! blow job, boob job, hand job, basically touching his dick in every way possible and snapping a few pictures lol bc why tf not (there're also a few cute moments hehe)
Having your boyfriend pay for your nails was nothing out of the ordinary to you. He did this almost every week, or whenever else he thought they should be done.
Sometimes you would ask for his input, but today was not one of those days. You wanted to surprise him with a fresh, natural-looking set.
French Tips...
"When you finish getting your nails done, send me a pic. I wanna see what they look like," he said before kissing you on the cheek. You could still smell the scent of coffee from this morning in the air.
That alone was addicting enough, but when the scent of his Channel cologne was mixed in only one thing was on your mind. And that was getting back in bed with him. Or at least pleasing him while he tells you how pretty you look.
"Okay," you smiled softly as you looked into his sweet doe eyes. You pulled the gold chain of your black clutch bag over your shoulder as you headed out the door.
You would've loved for him to take you to your nail appointment today, but he had some business to take care of at home. To be specific, he had a very important meeting over Zoom with a few of his colleagues concerning a very important business deal, which he made crystal clear to you the day before.
Before heading to your appointment, you stopped to place an order for some desserts. Heeseung planned to have a business party next week and he left you in charge of the food.
"Why do you want me to do it? Can't you just hire someone else to take care of this," you asked, not because you had a problem with it, more so for the reason that you were honestly curious.
"Well, you have good taste," he smiled.
"Mhm, sure I do."
"Well, that and you taste good," he smirked, pulling you close to flick his tongue across your lips.
You took a sip from your water bottle as you walked into the beauty salon. "Good morning, Dear. Are you here for your 9 o'clock appointment?" Mrs. Yanez asked from behind the desk.
"Yes, ma'am," you smiled.
"Alright, I'm just gonna log you in," she said as she clacked away at her keyboard. "Do you know what you want to do today?"
"Yes, I'll need a full, fresh set along with a mani-pedi."
"Did you want a massage as well?"
"No, that's alright."
"You sure, it's 30 percent off today. Plus you've accumulated a total of 1500 pretty points with us."
"Hmm, well I'll definitely use those points another day," you smiled. "And as much as I would love a discounted massage, I kinda wanna get back home a little early today."
"Ooh, Mr. Lee must be home today," she teased.
"Yes, he is," you chuckled.
"Well, then I won't keep you waiting any longer," she smiled before pushing a small black button. She often reminded you of the tía-sobrina relationship you never had. You could talk to her about anything, and trust me...she wanted to hear it.
"Right this way, Miss," a masked employee nodded as you followed her to the back. You giggled as Mrs. Yanez playfully waved to you with a smirk on her face.
You sat down in a soft leather chair as you explained what look you were going for today. "I would like a natural-looking set. Almost like French tips, but with natural shades."
"So no white tip?"
"Well white like the color of my natural nails," you explained pointing to the whites of your nails.
"Okay, perfect. I can do that for you. Gloss or not gloss?"
"Gloss," you smiled, as the lady turned around to pick from the colors on her shelf. A nude color, an off-white color, and a pale yellow--which she mixed with the white to match the natural color of your nails.
Having a custom color mixed made your nails feel pretty unique. Plus, this was a style you never tried before, so you were excited to see how they'd come out.
After about 45 minutes you were ready to go. Two people ended up working on you which sped up the process.
"Tell Heeseung I said hello," Mrs. Yanez smiled as you walked out.
"I will," you chuckled as she waved to you.
You climbed into your car before heading over to a nearby boba shop to pick up some drinks. Matcha for you and brown sugar for him. You liked extra boba and he liked extra syrup. These were little details you could never forget.
*Click* you snapped a shot of you holding the brown sugar boba because it looked better with your nails, even though it was for Heeseung.
Within seconds he opened the message and hearted the pic you sent. "They look nice, babe," he texted. You were surprised he even said that much.
"Maybe his meeting hasn't started yet. Or maybe they canceled it," you thought to yourself. Either way, you couldn't wait to get back home.
"Heeseung?" you called out as you stepped out of your shoes. Your car keys, clutch bag, and phone balanced between your fingers as you carried both of the drinks over to the counter. You had drunk about a fourth of your by the time you made it home.
You placed yours on the counter as you walked into his home office.
You knocked softly as you opened the door. Heeseung didn’t say a single word, but the look on his face told you everything. “I’m a little busy right now, babe. You can come back later, okay.”
You paused in both shock and embarrassment for a moment before a cheeky smirk appeared on your face. You closed the door behind you before walking over to his desk.
He was trying his best not to look at you, but you could tell he wanted to.
You placed his drink on the desk next to him before crawling under the desk. As professional as Heeseung tried to be at times, he loved wearing his sweat pants and you liked them too.
They were comfortable and made pulling his dick out so much easier.
You fiddled around with his drawstring causing him to wiggle a bit from your touch before you managed to get his dick out. You felt him harden between your palms as you stroked him up and down. That's when an idea popped into your head.
You pulled your phone out and snapped a shot of his tip against your tongue. You placed your phone down beside you as you began to suck him off. You felt him lean forward slightly, trying his best to contain his excitement.
You kissed the head of his dick to give him a chance to readjust himself. You could hear the voices of his colleagues coming from his computer as you continued to suck him off. You pulled back to unbutton your blouse using your tits to take the place of your hands as you jerked him off.
*Click* you took another pic of his dick nestled in between your tits.
You traced your tongue up the length of his shaft before taking it back in your mouth. It wasn't long before you heard him getting ready to end the call.
You looked up at him from under the desk. "Couldn't wait until after my meeting," he asked with a smirk.
You shook your head no as you continued to bob your head on his cock.
"Did you at least enjoy yourself?"
"Hmm...almost. I still feel like I'm missing a little something."
"And what would that be?" he asked cheekily, though he was fully aware of what you wanted...especially after you opened your mouth to tap his tip on your tongue.
He grabbed your head, shoving it down as he pumped himself into your mouth. Just as he was getting ready to cum he pulled your head back to coat your tongue.
*Click* He took a photo of your sitting between his legs with his cum all over your tongue and a dazed look on your face.
He paused to tap away at his phone before sending a pic of you with a bow edited on your head looking completely cum drunk.

Ask Comp 12/05
@carcinogeneticist-writes-fanfic asked: I know your policy has been to hold off listening to the official albums until you're done with HS and I totally get that, wanting to hear them in the context of the comic first is totally valid. That said, would you be willing to give early consideration to Michael Bowman's solo album, "Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido?" It's got the rather dubious honor of being one of only two or three official albums (out of like 30!) to NOT see any rep in the comic at all and I'd hate for you to miss out.
Found it on the Collection! It's generally a very chill album, with a lot of lower-energy tracks that might have been hard to fit in one of Homestuck's high-octane Flash animations.
It's not really my type of music, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate something different every once in a while! I think my personal favorite is Dawn of Man.
@likelyvampirical asked: While on the subject of Bowman, On The Thirteenth Day has been sent to you.
This one's fucking great. It feels like the kind of track you'd hear over the opening/ending to a Homestuck anime.
It also sounds vaguely like Sburban Jungle, but I don't know if I'd call it a remix; it feels more like it's gesturing meaningfully in Sburban Jungle's direction, which I like a lot.
@shelbybunny asked: re: voice headcanons in the (as of writing) latest ask comp; i think a good voice headcanon for John is Toby Fox’s voice in his ska cover of sunsetter or Michael Guy Bowman’s cover of How Do I Live
It's still so weird hearing Toby Fox's actual voice. He feels like the kind of guy who shouldn't have a concrete presence in our reality.
Anyway, these voices are both fairly close to how I imagine John sounding. Toby even looks somewhat like John - or, at least, his hair does.
@heattth asked: Hi, I believe you mentioned once that if Tumblr died you would continue this blog on Discord. I don't know how likely this is to happen, but, could I ask you which server that would be?
I currently run an on-and-off gaming Discord which is open to all the blog's followers. If Tumblr goes down for good, I might just convert it into the new primary liveblogging platform - although Discord has its own issues, so I'm not 100% committed to that. Guess we'll see what happens!
Edit: I ended up retiring the Discord for now, simply because it grew too large for one person to manage. I still plan to continue the liveblog if Tumblr bites the dust, but I'm completely undecided on where!
@manorinthewoods asked: I've heard the Hockerberts (Hockengberts?) called the House of J. Unsure how common that is. ~LOSS (28/4/25) @cationicflood asked: the prospit kids may also collectively be referred to as the J-squad, as all four of them have names beginning with J (this is a trait that i do not think any other character outside this group possesses)
Yeah, there's no real way to legibly combine all four names. I came up with 'Prospit Patrol' the other day, and I honestly kind of love it - but I guess that'd technically include the Prospit trolls, too.
Anonymous asked: i think the key difference between jade and jake’s social lives despite being completely isolated is that jade at least had bec and prospit. with jakes dreamself dead (which presumably never woke up) and no guardian to speak of, hes pretty much completely alone out there
Actually a very good point. We eventually learned that Jade was in contact with the White Queen, so she was doing some in-person socialization. Clearly, that mattered a lot more than I realized.
@morganwick asked: Recall that future Jade shared your frustration over causal time loops, wanting ideas to actually come from where they came from. She did manage to get Karkat to be just vague enough to get her to do what she wanted herself to do while still giving herself enough room to come up with as much of the idea as possible herself. Karkat technically didn't even tell her to captchalogue the window, only draw it, the assumption/understanding being that she'd use the scribblepad to do so.
I definitely like that interpretation a lot better than the idea that the information was spontaneously stable-looped into existence, so I'm adopting it as my personal canon. The less loop-generated intel we have, the better.
@that-good-ol-fashioned-mothgirl asked: funny how Jane “biggest fan of a baking empire” Crocker subscribes to empiricism
Clearly, an 'empire' is any organization that values tangible evidence over logical reasoning. Jane's brainwashing is clearly benign - the Condesce is just trying to make her a better skeptic!
@that-good-ol-fashioned-mothgirl asked: the green sun is the theoretically infinite felt on English’s temporal pool table
In other words, the entire multiverse is part of Lord English's game. Seems fitting to me.
@elkian asked: Something I put together recently thanks to your blogging: the more conventially intelligent/sapient a Sprite component, the better a Sprite can communicate with the Player. BUT, these are also more independent and can operate on their own impetus, proving in some cases (like Jadesprite) to be unwilling/unable to help the Player for whatever reason. It's a neat balancing mechanic.
That's actually a really good explanation for why Jadesprite was so independent.
She's not the only one who's exhibited this trait, either - Davesprite also seemed comfortable with resisting sprite programming!
@mhafanlol2000 asked: Dave spent his childhood with Cal, too, and he doesn’t seem hypnotized. What makes you so convinced that Dirk will turn out to be worshipping English, or something?
Ah, but Dave didn't actually own the doll.
Bro was the one carrying it around all day, and he can't be flash-stepping around Dave that often. For the majority of the time, he was the one receiving the lion's share of Cal's miasma, as he has been since the moment he was cloned.
Dirk is the same, of course, but he's only had Cal for sixteen years, while Bro was in his thirties, at least. Dirk seems a lot more normal than his counterpart, so we can at least assume he's less corrupted than Bro.
Anonymous asked: I'm not going to lie, the fact that the entire acts 1-5 of homestuck are ONE DAY is one of my favorite fucked up facts about this story. Like, honestly maybe more than 24 hours passed, but because we got untethered from Earth time immediately after entering and it's not like the Incipisphere has a day/night cycle, A VERY LONG MONDAY AFTERNOON INDEED
The second the camera cuts away from John and Jade, they're going to immediately pass out for a good twenty hours.
Hey, do we think Davesprite needs to sleep? Surely not, right? Alright, he can look after them, then.
@elkian asked: Just wanted to say that I'm loving the liveblog in general, and in particular I really like your take on how the Alpha timeline works. "Based on what this character would most likely do in this situation" not only frees it from some of the rigidity of predestination, which can definitely get stifling or flatten a story if taken too far; it's also a good explanation in terms of meta. It works as both a general explanation and story-themed one, and I like it a lot. Seems accurate, too!
You can thank Terry Pratchett for putting the idea in my head, back when I was first reading Night Watch. It's a really satisfying way to resolve the identity issues surrounding time travel, isn't it?
@drakethedeep asked: Keep that thought in mind regarding a timeline involving interfering with the green sun. On a similar train of thought, timelines seemed to become doomed when they can no longer contribute to the timeloop that created them to begin with. For example, in the first doomed timeline we see, because John dies, he cannot perform the ectobiology that results in the creation of him and his friends/family. so keeping that in mind, what conclusion/ theories about the alpha timeline do you have?
Initially, I thought that any timeline which could no longer satisfy its own loops would be instantly doomed - but that would have caused Davesprite's timeline to fade long before Future Dave actually left, since John's death immediately made the Veil cloning impossible.
However, the wording you use here comes close to fixing that issue. Davesprite's timeline could never fulfil the time loop created by John's Veil cloning - but it still contributed to the Alpha Timeline, via Davesprite. Maybe a timeline only fades once it can no longer contribute to the Alpha in any way whatsoever.
@wolygan asked: Kinda neat how as Sollux is dying his powers change from the red and blue to just his blood colour, as if he is casting from his health instead of just having an ability, now that his eyes are burnt out.
Oh, interesting. I didn't consider that!
Sollux has said he's retiring his duality schtick, and apparently that includes his red/blue motif. After all, he's not really 'the duality guy' anymore - he's just Sollux.
@liliflower137 asked: This is probably a little late as I'm still catching up but,,, gush, Vriska's conversation with John, where she expresses regret, where she thinks back on what she has done… It made her my favorite character for a while. Just. The potential of her learning to be different, of becoming something more than the world she was born into. Seeing a character so HORRIBLE, so AWFUL, turn around and… realize. It's so powerful.
Yup. Super fucked up that she died before she was able to complete her metamorphosis - but I'm confident that her story's not over. After all, we've already started hanging out with her ghost!
@liliflower137 asked: Hello!! I am not quite caught up yet but your description of Scratch as thinking like an author is BRILLIANT, I never would've thought of that and it makes him make so much more sense!!! Man he's way more interesting to me now, thank you!!! This liveblog continues to be the most fascinating read of all time!!
Thanks - it just made sense to me, y'know? Scratch even talks a little like Hussie sometimes, and the idea that he's a pseudo-author is the only thing I can think of that explains some otherwise extremely strange phrasing on his part.
@liliflower137 asked: Hello hello again! I've just seen the map you showed of Rose's coordinates and you can literally see the town i live in on that map!! So I can tell you Northern New York State, at least around that section, is VERY rural. The closest Starbucks is in Canada and its mostly dairy farms and cornfields around here! New York is a big state and aside from the city itself and some other places it's actually surprisingly empty. Hell, I've lived here for like 9 years and I've never even been close to NYC! But its definitely not remote, people live and work in that national park nearby! And there's plenty of burger kings for sure. (I'd even say maybe the one 40 minutes away was the one in my town but I'm pretty sure it opened after I moved here so probably not) It's so wild I could pretty easily drive to where Rose's house would've been… crazy.
Oh, fun - it's like you're her neighbor!
If you're that local, you might be living closer to Rose's address than any other Homestuck fan on the planet. You've got to be at least in the top ten, right?
@liliflower137 asked: Another addition to the jade seer of light fakeout that I've noticed during my own reread (inspired by yours!) Remember Jade's wardrobifier? One of her possible shirt symbols was the symbol for the Light Aspect!
Hussie's Trick continues to bamboozle the unprepared.
@liliflower137 asked: After sending you a bunch of asks while reading, I'm finally caught up!! Whew I can finally stop accidentally staying up until like 5am reading your incredible analysis and being distracted at work! I'm free!! Thanks for the ride!!
Hah, this really is a serious compliment. Don't worry, I've been staying up till pretty close to 5 lately as well. That's what happens when you're gaming on a server in a US timezone!
Anonymous asked: hello ms wertsearch! i have just finished binging your entire liveblog in lieu of any meaningful way to access homestuck OR the unofficial homestuck collection (kind of a lie - i'm sure it's on the wayback machine) and i have to say you might just be the ideal homestuck reader! you analyze these characters AND this story so quickly and perfectly it is very awesome to read. i cannot wait for you to stick it out through the rest of act 6! have a wonderful day!!!
Thank you so much! As far as I'm aware, there are still a couple of unofficial mirrors of the comic floating around online. I asked around on the Discord and was provided with this link, which seems perfectly functional to me.
Anonymous asked: I just want to send a message to let you know how much I appreciate and enjoy your blog. Ive had a very rough couple of years (who hasn't, right?) and reading this blog has been such an escape. It makes me feel like I'm 13 again and reading homestuck on the school computer with my friends. You have such insightful things to say about the comic. I never really jelled with the homestuck fandom outside of my irl friends I read the comic with, so your blog is kind of like a second shot at participating in the fandom for me. I'm having so much fun. Thanks for doing this. <3
As always, messages like these are the greatest motivator I have for continuing to liveblog. I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but thank you for sharing! :)
Anonymous asked: Your liveblog is So fun to read, especially when you predict plot points that are either extremely true or extremely false (like when you theorised at the very beginning that jade was genetically modified to be a sburb player! Or when [spoiler] and also [spoiler] and especially [spoiler]) Are you planning to read through your own liveblog when you've finished reading the comments to see how many things you jokingly predicted that came true? Or are you relying on asks to point out things like that?
I'm definitely reading through it when I'm done! I've even half-jokinly considered liveblogging the liveblog, but that might be a bridge too far even for me, lmao
@manorinthewoods asked: I've found another HS liveblog! 'researchhpurposes'. They've not made it through Act 5 yet, so hopefully they're spoiler-free - although, like you, they're going in only mostly blind, so there might be a stray thing here or there. Going to read through and see if there's anything extraordinary. ~LOSS (29/4/25)
(I'm noticing they *do* engage with reblogs, so without reading the whole thing, I'd say there's probably *some* spoilers. -V)
I can't wait to take a gander at some other liveblogs - but, yes, strangely enough, some of them can still spoil the comic, even if they're even farther back than I am!
@mrjocrafter asked: Once Upon a Time, a serialized live action soap opera / fantasy show with a batshit convoluted plot on par with Homestuck (i highly recommend it) has this concept called The Author, who's an individual blessed/cursed with the power to rewrite reality by literally writing in book(s), but if this power is suppressed, overpowered, or lost, the wielder is just some guy with a pen/quill. This is how I like to think of character!Hussie in Homestuck.
I've actually been watching a Once Upon a Time retrospective series on YouTube, and it's been an enjoyable watch so far. I even checked out the first couple of seasons myself - and, yes, batshit is exactly how I'd describe the average day in Storybrooke. Why the fuck wasn't it in Kingdom Hearts?
Anonymous asked: Yo so i was just rewatching Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency and i was thinking since you like homestuck you should watch that if you haven't seen it already. Similar vibes. It's super excellent, it stars Elijah Wood. It did get cancelled after season 2 which sucks but each season is its own story with its own resolution. The stuff they were setting up for season 3 looked so dope tho, it's so tragic i'll never get to see it. It's the only thing that gives me the same feeling as homestuck. I don't want to like, say what it's about cuz like homestuck i think it's best to just jump in blind. If you have already seen it i'd love to hear your thoughts.
I haven't seen it myself, but I know the book it's based off. Dirk Gently shares an author with one of my favourite series, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, so I feel like the show is probably up my alley too. Will definitely add it to the list!
Anonymous asked: Community is a sitcom about a study group at a community college. I recommend it, it's got a wit to it that I think you'd like.
I've seen a couple of clips of Community, but it didn't really click with me. That said, it's hard to judge the overall quality of a show from just a handful of clips, so I may give it another chance.
@manorinthewoods asked: There's a further benefit to the three-year time skip; it'll bring the characters roughly in line with the IRL time movement. April 2009 -> November 2011 is five months off the three-year timespan - which is sensible, since you need that time to actually write the story. Five months is. Probably a reasonable expectation, from the outset, for how long it might take to progress to the end of the timeskip - but, of course, this is a webcomic, and webcomics are very well known for taking absolutely ages to write. ~LOSS (29/4/25)
If that's true, and Hussie is timing things so that the kids emerge in November, then they're kind of playing with fire here.
I mean, committing yourself to maintain a consistent posting schedule for five months? Couldn't be me, is all I'm saying.

The Tommy timeline is making me insane
We know the 911 writers are REALLY crap about timelines. I mean, just within the Eddie Begins episode there are several dates that just don't add up. I love those writers, but they can't even count to 10, lol.
Tommy was never supposed to come back, so him being in his late 20s-ish in 2005 when Chim joins the 118 was of no consequence, but now that Tommy is back, that makes it really difficult to say how old he really is.
Some people have speculated that he's 45, but I find that too old. Lou was born in Nov 1984, which makes him 39 currently. I could see Tommy being 1-2 years older than that AT MOST.
So let's say Tommy was born in early 1983 and go from there.
He would have started school at 6.5 and finished HS at 18 years old in 2001. Which means he could have joined the army that year and started training to be a helicopter pilot.
There's a program called "From Street to Seat", also sometimes called "High school to Flight School", so that is a possibility. Training would have been around 2 - 2.5 years until he'd achieved the rank of Warranty Officer and be a fully trained helicopter pilot in late 2003. After that, you have to enlist for TEN years at minimum to repay them getting you through flight school.
At that point, the US had entered the war in Afghanistan and just started the one in Iraq.
Tommy could have been stationed anywhere in the US, or been deployed to one of those countries, or at first, as a still very young officer, been deployed to an allied country like Germany. In the early 2000s, there were many bases in Germany where US soldiers were stationed, only serving short missions in Afghanistan or Iraq. So that's an option if we don't want him to be permanently stationed inside a war zone.
Now, how did young Tommy leave the army early so he ended up being a firefighter just two years later?
Well, there's always medical discharge, but if it was for any injury, him already being a member of the team (and by the looks of it no longer a probie) in 2005 is a bit tight. He'd have to recover from his injury, then apply, then be accepted, do the basic training at the academy (18 weeks) and his probie year... so yeah, that's really a very tight timeline.
Another option would have been Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Back then, army members could not be actively asked if they're gay and therefore fired for it, but if they voluntarily disclosed/confirmed it, they would be kicked out.
If he was lucky (and probably the version I'm going for in my fic), and had a very lenient superior officer, he might be offered medical discharge for depression. Usually, that can get you out of the army pretty quickly.
So, to recap:
Born between Jan/June 1983
Finished high school summer 2001, joined the army
Finished flight school in fall 2003, was deployed somewhere or in service in the US
Found out/discharged in early 2004
Started LAFD academy in summer/fall 2004
Started his probie year end of 2004
Just finished it when Chimney joined in (should be late) 2005, at now 22 years old.
Still an incredibly tight timeline, and I wish Chim joining had been more like 2007 or so, but alas. It works.
You are welcome.
And I need to lie down. God I hate inconsistent timelines, lol.
Oh and I just looked it up, and apparently you're only a probie for 6 months at the LAFD, so I guess that makes it a little easier.
I mean, if you shift things around a little, you could even make him only 40 now, born in summer 1983 instead of early. Maybe he was initially gifted and able to enroll in school at just barely 6 years old.

can i talk my shit for a moment?
i've been thinking about enhypen a lot, i actually do on a daily because i have a problem but that's a story for another time, and every time i think about certain types of "engenes" i get so, so mad and just as sad and frustrated because we're literally witnessing the way enha as a whole are slowly losing the recognition and attention for their talent because the focus is slowly shifting towards their visuals and their fan service.
i can't even explain why this makes me so mad and maybe i'm just a baby engene who's a little sensitive and protective but it's just so frustrating to see people praise enha for their visuals and fan service only when they're so, so much more.
don't get me wrong, PLEASE praise your fave for their visuals, they're the hardest on themselves and the kpop industry is so visual focused, it'll do wonders to their self confidence and esteem to hear how much their fans love their looks and styles and visuals.
it's the fact that at this point i barely ever see anyone praise any member for their actual talent. maybe i'm on the wrong side of the fandom but whenever the boys are done with a performance, they go viral for their visuals and not the actual effort, energy, time and attention they put into that performance.
seeing the comments being full of people who only praise one thing about the members is just so..heartbreaking considering just HOW hard they've worked to be where they are.
they have received titles during i-land and are still standing up to those and the high standards everyone has set for them, so seeing their fan service being what gets people into the fandom makes me so sad.
heeseung is a fucking ace, mans can sing, dance, produce, rap – he's literally known for his immense talent yet his biggest headlines somehow always included his visuals, especially with the whole nose implant shit. yes, his fan service is top tier but he's more than that short flirty moment and i hate seeing people praise him for it.
jungwon keeps on showing everyone what a good lsader he is, that he actually deserves his title as the hidden ace but people never ever give him credit for what matters. that guy loves his fans so, so much he spends hours on weverse to chat and respond and always updates us on what's going on. he's so csring and sweet and yet ever since he's become an adult its yet again, just about his looks.
i don't even wanna talk about sunoo because his situation makes me SO mad in a way i can't explain at all. that fucker is so fucking talented and so gifted, he's literally worked his ass off all these years just for people to go around and go omg he's so pretty!!! and that's it. he's not just your little mlm projection since most engenes love to label him as such, he's so much more and deserves to be treated like the talented idol he is.
sunghoon is also of that category because tell me why people have made his visuals hs only personality when he literally was told he was born to be on stage. every single performance, every single song, every single tour night he gives his everything because he knows he's good but he wants to show the world that he's more than a pretty face. i wish people would just see his talent and dedication for once instead of his eyebrows.
jay is also a topic i dont even wanna talk about anymore because the treatment he's been receiving all these years from his own "FANS" is so embarrassing and heartbreaking. i have never, ever watched a performance where that fucker didn't give 150% of his energy and power, his dedication is so impressive and something to admire. he's not just your fashion icon with a pretty face and a sharp jawline, i might upset some of y'all, but he's just as much of an ace as heeseung to me and i wish people saw that.
riki literally left his home country when he was a child and was called the dance prodigy, became a member in the official line up at the age of 14 and yet people will literally do nothing but praise his visuals. that fucker came okt of his mama dancing and people dare to argue whether or not he's as good as engenes make him to be what the FUCK? ppl need to stop focusing on his face and actually look at him as a whole when they watch him bc how could we ever argue about his talent???
jake had a dream and an opportunity and that fucker took. it. he literally only trained for six months and now his dance challenges with other idols are some of the most viewed ones on social media. he's a pretty face and the biggest flirt ever, he loves his dans and doesnt hesitate to show it but i wish people would actually see how hard he works and how far he's come. he was never bad but he's literally at such a high level right now when it comes to his skills and stage performances, i feel like people just love to ignore that aspect of him bc of his intense fan service.
i can't believe i spent 10 minutes writing this but its been on my mind for so long and i really hope we as engenes can actually sit our asses the fuck down and start showing those boys and their talent the love and appreciation they deserve. they are a group of visuals, yes. no doubt. but they were also chosen to be in this group bc of their talent and their skills.

The Anomaly || JJK
Chapter 9: Flunctations
summary : In which you're isekai'd from your (own) parallel Jujutsu Kaisen universe to the canon universe.
wordcount : 2.5k
Pairing: Jujutsu Kaisen X Reader, eventually Character x Reader (idk who yet tho)
Masterlist | Next
The object which contains the veil is destroyed by Yuuji, and you can't help but notice how pretty the veil looks beautiful as it dissipates into nothing.
" wait- the anti sorcerer veil is the only one that got lifted, right? But didn't we break three of these? Including the one Ino broke?"
Yuuji realizes. Megumi's eyes are on you. You look distracted. After the veil went down, your eyes returned to the direction where the odd pull of cursed energy is coming from.
" You okay?"
You snap back to reality, glancing back at Megumi, who looks as unbothered as always.
" Yeah, just- nevermind."
You sigh, shaking your head. Things were brewing in Shibuya. This could be a trap, no matter how familiar the feeling is. Megumi searches your expression, but he doesn't push it. You'll find out what that call is later. You're needed here now.
" Either they used all three to lower one veil, or the other two were dummies. Either way, sorcerers are free to move now. That leaves the veil trapping Gojo sensei and the veil trapping the civilians. I wanted to interrogate the old man, but it looks like he's out cold."
You glance at the man, who's laid unconscious against a fence.
" I could heal him partially?"
" That's a waste of effort. There's no guarantee he'll work with us. We should rejoin Ino and-."
" Ino!"
Like he was summoned, the guy appears to be plummeting from the sky, not to far away from you. Megumi is quick to summon Nue, while Yuuji jumps down, a short cut of some sort. You uncap the water skin with clean water, coming to his aid as Yuuji catches him.
He looks bad. He's all roughed up, bleeding particularly nasty from the top of his head. You don't waste any time. Manipulating the water to surround your hands, you press them to the wound on his forehead. To your worry, he doesn't react to it. Nonetheless, the wound heals, the water on your hands melting into his skin.
" Y/N, your water-"
" Yeah, I know. It's alright, it does that with heavier injuries."
You explain, continuing to heal the wounds on him which you can see. The ones that look particular nasty. More and more of your water melts into his skin, but you'll be fine.
Besides, you can always use your own sweat to work with, no matter how uncomfortable and weird that is.
" Don't heal everyone you see. We need you in battle."
You shake your head.
" I can't not do that, Megumi. I'm a healer first."
Megumi sighs at your words. You smile at Him.
" Don't worry. I never run out of water sources.- Anyway, Ino won't be able to fight anymore, he'll have to tap out."
" I'm gonna go beat them up."
" Itadori, I understand how you feel, but what's our priority right now?"
Yuuji sighs.
" Gojo sensei."
" The veil's lifted. Those guys might've escaped already. Let's get Ino out of here."
" Take care of Ino for me."
Your mouth opens slightly in surprise, your eyes shifting from Ino to Yuuji.
" Where are you going?"
" I'll head to the station."
In a way, it's the best option. But the idea of operating in Shibuya alone right now?
" All right, but-"
" If I die, you'll kill me, right?"
Yuuji's grinning, pointing fingers guns at Megumi.
Megumi seems surprised, but doesn't verbally react to it for a moment.
" Besides, I have Mechamaru with me. Even though he has been quiet for a while."
Megumi sighs, getting up. Nue flexes it's wings as Megumi does so, ready to take off with Ino on hs back.
" All right, as long as you understand."
" I can come with you?"
" No."
Both guys are quick to turn down your offer, causing you to raise a questionable brow.
" What's that supposed to mean? "
" You have to stay alive. You can't die in our universe. "
" Exactly. And I'm going where it's more dangerous, so you'll be safer with Fushiguro."
You give both of them an offended look.
" Are you calling me weak?"
Yuuji blinks, an obvious sign that he absolutely did not mean that. Megumi sighs too.
" Don't be fussy about it, Y/N. You must have people back at home who are worried about you. You can't die here. It's cruel."
Megumi fixes you with a look, and you pout, before sighing. He's right. Your parents, your friends, they must all be incredibly worried about you. Hell, with how long you've been here, you wouldn't be surprised if they were mourning your death. You want to see them at least once, before you die.
" Fine. But just... be careful."
Yuuji grins at you, nodding.
" Don't worry. I'll be there the day we find you a way back home. "
He's playfully winking at you, and then he's running off.
You and Megumi turn around, making your way towards the edge of the veil trapping civilians.
Every few seconds, he glances at you. You know him well enough to know that he wants to ask a question.
" Hm? What is it?"
For a moment he doesn't say anything, walking on, but eventually, he finally speaks.
" What had you so distracted earlier?"
You turn to him in surprise.
" Oh. Something is pulling at my cursed energy. I've felt it before, but I just can't remember where."
He sends you a worried glance.
" Pulling at your cursed energy? "
" Yeah. Like someone else is using it. Which is weird, because I don't exist in this universe."
A real pity. He thinks to himself.
" Like a call?"
" Exactly like that."
" Do you still feel it?"
You nod.
" I do."
" Where is it coming from?"
You stop walking, glancing in a specific direction.
" It's sort of distant, but my guess it's that it's coming from somewhere on the other side of Shibuya."
-
Inumaki Toge was annoying, and useless.
Now of course, Sukuna was well aware that he was simply greater than his senpai, especially in hand to hand combat, considering the Heavenly Pact he's been blessed with at birth. However, he also knows that Toge's cursed technique can simply step on him like a bug.
By now, Sukuna has realized that there's something wrong. He's definitely not home, and this Inumaki seems to be completely unfamiliar with him. Every move he taught his senpai was not being used currently. Nonetheless, Inumaki is throwing punch after punch, trying to aim on his face. A stupid move. He knew all his schoolmate's fighting styles', and there were only a few who stood a fair chance against him in hand to hand combat. Zen'In Maki, and Itadori Yuuji. Not Inumaki Toge.
What Sukuna doesn't understand is that Inumaki was not using his cursed technique. If he wished, he could have easily defeated him with a few words. Currently, Sukuna simply dances around him, using the space around him to their advantage. He's sparred with you often enough to know how you move. He knows it well enough to copy in a situation like this. In fact, the only reason he's ever been able to beat you is because he can predict your movements. An opponent who'd stand against you with no knowledge of how you move, would lose in a heartbeat.
Either way, he was starting to grow bored. Smoothly avoiding punches and kicks can only be so much fun. Finally, he throws a punch back. And of course, it hits Inumaki square in the stumic, sending him flying back into the building.
Sukuna blinks in a bored manner at him. Yeah, this guy definitely wasn't familiar with him.
" You've got no idea where the little shit is, do you?"
Inumaki coughs, holding his stumic as he gets up. he's visibly sweating the situation. Sukuna shakes his head again, glancing at the mess of curses running around behind them.
" We've wasted enough time fighting. Just answer some questions of mine... please."
Sukuna hates the word please. Inumaki blinks at him, surprised, though his suspicious is confirmed. This must be the Sukuna from your universe indeed.
" Is Y/N here?"
Inumaki nods.
A new kind of feeling spreads through Sukuna's body. Hope, longing. He can't wait to see you again.
" Is she alright? Is she here?"
Inumaki shrugs his shoulders. Sukuna nods, turning to face the curses, who have slowly begun to bother citizens.
" Kay'.-"
He likes to pretend he doesn't care.
" You do you. I'll handle it here."
And just like that, he goes back to ripping through curses left and right. The display is disgusting, blood splattering everywhere. People around him seem to be uncertain whether to be terrified of him or not. However, he can't find it in himself to care.
As much as he hates it, you'll have to wait. He has to take care of these annoying, ugly creatures first.
-
Both your and Megumi's eyes simultaneously widen.
" Is that...?"
"A domain."
Both of you have arrived somewhere, you're not even sure where or why, but you're there, and that's that.
Allies of you are in there. without a doubt. But how does one even go in there? You've haven't reached the level or circumstance to create your own domain just yet, nor do you have the same raw strength Yuuji seems to have.
Both of you are sweating. Hard.
" Y/N. Hold onto my arm."
Megumi isn't looking at you as he speaks, his gaze focused on the ball in front of you as he approaches.
You send him a furrowed brow. However, noticing he's clapping his hands together, your eyes widen.
" You can do a domain expansion?"
He nods.
You follow his command, your hand holding his arm gently.
" yeah- since the mission under the bridge.- It's not perfect yet."
In any other situation, he might've reveled in the feeling of your hands on him. But you've got business to take care of.
Within seconds, Megumi's domain is up and running, and soon enough, he breaks through the barrier of the other domain.
" Maki!"
This domain is built up of the ocean. And even though it's made up of cursed energy that's not your own, you can still feel it.
It's is build on the power of the ocean. Of a place where you're at your most powerful.
Meanwhile Maki's eyes widen.
" Megumi!"
A little too enthusiast, the two of you had launched yourselves into the domain, sending you jumping quite a height that left you feeling a little bottomless. As someone who's natural element is water, you don't mind bottomless, usually. However, you find that you do mind the bottomless feeling when you're skyhigh, where you can see the floor coming towards you. From the corner of your eye, you can see something red and black manifest. A weapon. You understand the gist, and throw it in Maki's direction.
" Y/N. That octopus thing is the source of this domain."
You nod at Megumi.
" Don't worry, I've got your back. "
Meanwhile, the octopus thing turns towards the two of you.
" You dare voluntarily invade my domain? How foolish."
At once, he sends some kind of huge eels at you. You reach out, your own cursed energy managing to take his own in a chokehold. If it was only you right now, you'd test your limits, and see if you could take control of his domain. However, you're not alone. You have people to watch out for. So instead, you deploy your cursed technique in ways you're well aware of.
Creating the rings of water you're so fond of, you manipulate his cursed energy to your will. the cursed energy in the form of water cuts through both eels, and the two of you safely make it to the ground while Maki whacks her special grade cursed tool across the curse's back.
" What is that?"
" Cloud jumper."
You nod at Megumi's words. You've never seen that weapon before, but Maki makes good use of it, whacking him with it once again.
Meanwhile, he also sends two more creatures at you. You furrow your brows, stepping in front of Megumi protectively. Megumi opens his mouth to warn you, call you back. But he's left to watch in amazement as you manipulate the water below to cut into the first creature with ease. You turn your attention to the other one, but Nanami beats you to it, his 7:3 technique hitting yet again.
" What about the other two?"
Nanami asks, holding a protective stance in front of the two of you.
" Ino's tapped out. Itadori is acting on his own."
" I'll cover you, please focus on your domain."
You glance at him.
" Let me handle this. I can use the curse's cursed energy. "
Nanami's eyes are wide as he looks at you.
Nonetheless, you nod at him with confidence.
Nanami nods. You glance quickly at Megumi, noticing his bleeding nose. Your eyes widen in worry.
" Megumi-"
" I'm fine. Cover for me.- Nanami, the octopus thinks our domains are pushing for control. But that's not what I'm after. I'm going to create a hole. The one we entered through is already sealed. It's harder from the inside, but I can make it large enough for someone to pass through for a few seconds. The edge of this barrier is right below me. I know because I can feel it. I'm ready anytime. All three of you need to jump in at once."
Nanami throws a serious glance back at the teenager.
" The two of you are not planning on staying behind, are you?"
" I think I have a chance in taking control of this domain. I'll get Megumi and me out of here."
Megumi grins.
" We're risking our lives. But we're not planning on throwing it away."
Soon enough, Nanami is yelling for the other two to join.
" Quick, right below Fushiguro's feet."
You focus on the curse in front of you, creating a huge circle of spinning water around you. If it were to get to close, it would cut right through it.
However, your focus falters as someone enters the domain.
Especially as you see who it is.
Fushiguro Toji.
[ A/N: Thank you for your quick reactions, besties <3, drabbles will join after Shibuya arc.]

...could I prod for you to write out some of your thoughts on Nick´s ¨perfect bf¨ behavior then? (: just wanna hear them
i'm always willing to be prodded. this is a long one so buckle in. so nick's perfect bf behavior actually stems from the fact that nick is an emotional perfectionist. i feel like because we see charlie displaying more of the traditional perfectionist traits (and how that ties into his OCD), i feel like sometimes the fact that nick is also a perfectionist but in a different way gets overlooked in canon and among the fandom. i'd also like to state that i think charlie being a traditional perfectionist and nick being an emotional perfectionist is a big part of why their relationship works as well as it does but it's also why things can become volatile for them. it's a double edged sword for sure but i think these traits draw them to each other and i just wanted to get that bit out of the way first. what do i mean by emotional perfectionist?
for this post we're going to use this working definition to define emotional perfectionism: the practice of holding yourself to an unrealistically high standard for how you feel now, arguably both nick and charlie do this, however i think nick has been doing it a lot longer than we see in canon (reminder that we do not know MUCH about nick except for what Charlie learns about him bc a majority of HS is in Charlie's pov) nick is a character who wears his heart on his sleeves and goes to great lengths to communicate his feelings. we see this when nick and charlie kiss that first time and he shows up in the rain and literally starts blubbering because he's confused, but he's still in love and he knows that but being queer obviously challenges everything he previously knew about his identity.
and this continues! but what do we see between that and charlie's mental health decline? we see nick berating himself for his negative feelings. when he punches harry, for example, even though it's deserved we see in his face that he instantly regrets it.
nick is very emotionally mature for his age, to a degree that is leaps and bounds above basically... everyone else around him except for tara and elle. so why is nick an emotional perfectionist? my theories are the following:
lingering trauma from his parents' divorce
david being david (i.e david being the messy child so nick internalizing the fact that he needed to not be like that from a young age)
his toxic masculine environment (david, his father, and rugby, going to an all boy's school, etc.) a combination of all of these factors is more likely but as a child of divorce twice over, i can tell you that NOTHING makes you emotionally mature faster than watching your parents divorce even if the divorce is amicable. Now, I can't say anything with 100% certainty because even in canon, Nick does not talk much about about the nature of his parents' divorce or anything and its probably bc it is not exactly story relevant. it is however! character relevant. even if nick was never therapized by sarah and i seriously doubt he was, he very clearly struggles with having any feelings that aren't positive ones. Case in point, in the t.v show when Nick tries to come out at the bonfire, and he fails, he punishes himself for not keeping the "promise" he made to come out, when charlie tells him that he didn't promise, and further reassures him that it's okay if he's not ready (even though we the audience and nick even knows this hurts him), like nick is very clearly hurt by the fact that he could not do this thing that he knows both he and his boyfriend want. This sort of continues on the Paris trip, and even though they promise to tell each other all their shit, Nick... doesn't actually keep up his end of the promise because shortly after, Charlie's mental health nose dives and his priority became keeping his boyfriend alive. I think an aspect of HS that gets glossed over is how traumatizing it can be to be dating someone going through what Charlie does. "Love can't cure mental illness" "that's a lot to put on the shoulders of a sixteen year old.". For the BRIEFEST moment when Nick and Charlie are together, they communicate well, they get each other, but that goes up in smoke as Charlie's ED worsens. IT IS NOT HIS FAULT, obviously. But what does Nick do during this time? He becomes an emotional rock for Charlie. He tries to support him, he tries so very desperately to be there for his boyfriend in every way he can be until it's literally not enough. How is Nick supposed to go to Charlie about shit when Charlie is going through worse things? That's how Nick sees it. So now we're onto the present point of the comic. Nick is the PERFECT boyfriend. This is how he copes, this is the mask he is putting on so other people don't see the fact that he doesn't really know who he is or what he wants. On paper, Nick wants to be with Charlie forever. That is his most SECURE thing right now, so of course he'd latch onto that and start being the perfect boyfriend everyone expects him to be especially since others have pointed out that he's "useless" without Charlie. What a thing to be told, you know? I'd be insecure too. Nick doubles down. Why? Because if other people perceive him as perfect, they don't go beyond that, this is his experience with life before Charlie. Everyone just knew him as the Rugby King before, in the mini comic he talks about the fact that he doesn't even have his "friends" around his house, nor does he want to see films with them-- in 12 year old terms, I see this as Nick's way of stating he does not want these people to see who he actually is less they make fun of him too.

How I personally see x-shippers in the Homestuck Fandom
Based on my perceptions, based on my opinions, based on my expiriences! :] Nothing directed to anyone in particular.
If you have x-ship as your OTP, this is how I see your "category" VERY generally, let's say.
Johnkat / Communism shippers
I don't even ship Johnkat, but y'all are the sweetest people out there?? The chillest people ever. Like, if they asked me with what shipper I would spend ten hours trip with, it'd be a Johnkat shipper.
Davejade / Spacetime shippers
LITERALLY the same as Johnkat, but y'all are also so fucking talented too?? Any art skill possible (traditional, digital, animation, 3D, paper puppet, etc) Y'ALL CAN DO THAT!!! How do y'all even exist!? 😭
(Btw, yes, you're chill too, but a lil less than Johnkat shippers)
Dirkjake / Pumpkin shippers
Annoying.
You're annoying.
There are two types of Pumpkin shippers though.
Type 1: less annoying. You like toxic yaoi, you recognize they're in a toxic relationship and I can respect you.
Type 2: "toxic yaoiiii 🤪🤪🤪" but when someone points out the actual toxicity of Dirkjake those shippers will come after their ass.
Rosekan / Rosemary shippers
Hard to find people who have Rosemary as primary ship, since they're established in canon, so people ship them in the background because it makes sense and they're actually a thing.
BUT I am convinced the primary Rosemary shippers aren't rare at all, I think they simply don't use socials as much as other HS fans. So they're normal, basically.
Solkat / MUTANT2 shippers
I won't count myself because 1- I'm not so pretentious, 2- I don't think I act like the average MUTANT2 shipper AT ALL!!!
The average: Some Dude™. Yes, even the girls act like Some Dude™.
Weirdly, most of them don't know Fandom culture that well. Maybe cuz they're all Some Dudes™.
Erifef / Make a wwis)( shippers
They do not deny what happened in the comic, they just ignore it. And somehow they are able to ignore it even when someone points out what happens in the comic.
"But Eridan killed Feferi." "Ok *not listening*"
Y'all are in a constant Zen State after years of meditation and acception, probably.
Nepfef / Octopussy shippers
"FLUFF FLUFF FLUFF FLUFF NOTHING BAD HAPPENED FLUFF FLUFF FUNNY 2000 MEME FLUFF"
"But Nepeta and Feferi died-"
"FLUFF FLUFF FLUFF FUNNY CAT RAINBOW VIDEO AH AH PUSSY FISH FLUFF FLUFF FLUFF"
Davekat shippers
No.
Go read the comic.
Karezi / Adorabloodthirsty(?) shippers
Y'all died??? I SUPPOSE you all were too annoyed with canon and Hussie to actually care to continue reading, or stay in the Fandom. Or I can't explain how y'all literally imploded and disappeared.
Daverose / Dersecest shippers
Same as Karezi, but I can see you every now and then reblog stuff, mostly due archive reasons.
Johnvris / Spider8reath shippers
Their personality is a mix between John and Vriska's. That's the only way I can explain it.
Equinep / Meowrails shippers
Same as Rosemary for the first part, but there are more people loving Meowrails as their OTP. And those fans usually are the sweet & respectful memes side. Their pages often feel like an Internet Checkpoint where to rest and see cute and mindlessly funny stuff for a moment.
Please, never leave the Fandom.
Some of y'all are dumb af tho.
Vrisrezi / Scourge sisters shippers
The ship isn't bad and it makes sense even, the shippers, on the other hand, have to chill the fuck out and actually read the comic and not only the second part of Act 6 or, worse, from the Epilogues and on.
Katnep / Katnip shippers
You all just wish the best for Nepeta. That's like your whole personality in the Fandom. Nepeta deserved a better treatment. The end.
Vrisfef / Spider8each shippers
Never met a Spider8each shipper who isn't obsessed with Spider8each like I'm obsessed with MUTANT2. You make EVERYTHING about them; every and all quadrants; every and all situations. You WILL scream "THEM!!!"
Any Dancestor x Dancestor shipper
You care too much about the Dancestors, but your real problem is that you're annoying. And probably also 15 too.
Any Ancestor x Ancestor shipper
You're a rare breed. A really special and important one. I love you. You're my parent now.
Summonfang / Summoning the 8ooty shippers
What I've said before, except that you're actually not my parent, but my annoying little cousin.
Spades Slick x Karkat / Bloodsworn shippers
I love you. If you exist (I've seen only a couple of people), just know that you're right, always, you're cooking, keep going, I love you. Also you make the sexiest scenarios.
Davejohn / Pepsicola shippers
Most normal people in the world. Not in the "chill person" way like Communism shippers or "Some Dude" way like MUTANT2 shippers.
You're normal. Average even. You could be called "annoying" at times, for making jokes like "red and blue = pepsicola ah ah", but it's just a joke you make sometimes, in the most normal way. You're normal. You're ok.
Beta OT4 shippers
I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EDIT: I apologize to DirkJake shippers. DaveShitKat shippers are definitely far far far far far far far far far far far more annoying.

HS^2 bloggin’ mainline 2024-08-16
(Previous post - current page 666)
We're continuing from yesterday inside Therapy Purgatory, and by checking out this second part with what looks like Mindfang's Journal, I'll finally be caught up on Homestuck^2: Beyond Canon and ready to liveblog any future updates as they come! :D Don't expect me to drop everything and blog immediately every time there's an upd8, but you CAN expect me to be ready to liveblog at least within a couple days of each one, I'll try to keep track of the Homestuck Twitter for updates to this section specifically too.
So, Mindfang's Journal... what will this represent in comparison to the others? Not Terezi, yet? It seems like her feelings toward Terezi would be either saved for the last part (the 8-ball) or not shown here at all, because her path to growth regarding Terezi is meant to be resolved outside the Plot Point's purgatory, not inside.
Will this deal with her relationship with her ancestor, and/or her mother? Is she going to see that she was looking up to a toxic role model in those journals? Are we going to see any hints of Vriska having been transfem or is that relegated to Pesterquest still, 'cause that would be nice to see? (I don't know much about Pesterquest other than that toblerone wish being fulfilled over there along with several other possible-trans identities hinted, no need to spoil me on any of it in case I have the courage to go through that content someday. It'd be too much work to LIVEBLOG it but I might go through it on my own and have commentary to share with y'all or something.)
Okay, clicking on Mindfang's journal now...
YEAR 4
WOW, she's going to have caught up to John (and/or Terezi in the (Meat) Timeline more like) in age at this rate? GOSH she takes a long time to psychotherapize but this is the best deus ex machina I could have ever imagined, getting her to have so much time without distractions to ACTUALLY work through her issues is fucking incredible.
But what is she working on this time?
Oh hi, one of the Nannasprites? Her "lucky mojo"... so she doesn't feel like she has her powers in this realm, which makes sense because there's no relevance or luck left to take/steal from here that isn't already concentrated inside herself?
HOLY SHIT SHE'S ACTUALLY GROWING UP IN THE SPRITEWORK, she's taller with longer horns and everything!!!!! Compare to this from the Flarp Manual section:
--although when you compare that to THIS from the very BEGINNING of page 666's sequence before the two year skip, there's not much change:
--so this NEW, MUCH TALLER sprite model is a huge step up in visual age that will likely last a section or two at least, or even serve as her final form aside from outfit changes.
Moving on...
Okay, so she's been trying to use her powers with everyone cheering her on, and it hasn't been working.
VRISKA: I don't want to 8ore you, it's just the same pro8lem as always. VRISKA: Finally I get my sea legs and figured out what this whole process is a8out, 8reeze through Eridan and John and Kanaya, only to get stuck all over again on HER.
Interesting... so is it Terezi, Mindfang, or her Lusus? I figure the Cueball section that isn't done yet is Doc Scratch, because Doc was someone who intentionally used and took advantage of her faults compared to almost anyone else, and fooled her into using the excuse of inevitability. Interesting that that's the next step after she's "cleared" lessons she's learned from her past relationships with the others offscreen. So who's this HER who's the step before this?
VRISKA: I'm not so sure........she's different from the rest of them. And no matter how I approach this, I can't figure out what the hell she wants.
Hm-- perhaps this one isn't about listening to them and what they want, but penetrating through to a way in which THEY wronged YOU and that you SHOULDN'T be listening to what they want, if we're going with Mindfang or her Lusus?
Ooh, it's weird and heartening to hear her honestly telling the Nannasprite Duo that they've made this "whole experience way more 8earable" and honestly thanking them. She's really in the process of growing up emotionally, not just physically, and it's SHOWING.
And now she's talking about having talked with John about Nanna and their shared experience of "connecting to our predecessors through their writings". Maybe "HER" IS Terezi, and she's going to try to take a detour to try and learn from Mindfang to help her with the process, only to figure out how to be somewhat disillusioned with Mindfang or actually learn from Mindfang's mistakes somehow?
VRISKA: What exactly do humans get out of these familial prim8 relationships, anyway?
Hrmm, maybe this IS about her lusus?
Ooh, Vriska asking Nannasprite why she had children (Dad Egbert). Never thought she'd ask something like that.
NANNASPRITE: I couldn't exactly bring that man [Sassacre] back from the dead, but I could put myself in his shoes and do the bang up job he never had the opportunity to do. Not to mention, I like babies! :B
Yeah, you would!
Hahah, of course Vriska doesn't understand why a human would want to raise a gross infant. So maybe this IS about her Lusus, and why her Lusus would really "want" to raise her and not eat her in part, not to mention accepting how her Lusus essentially abused and used her in ways that fucked her up?
Nanna talking about wanting to avenge herself against the Batterwitch once, before she'd vanished, of course.
NANNASPRITE: So many nights spent plotting that awful woman's downfall and making her pay for all the indignities of my childhood. For always making me feel like I was powerless to do anything.
OH THIS SECTION IS TOTALLY ABOUT VRISKA AND HER LUSUS ISN'T IT!!!
NANNASPRITE: Not to mention that now, after seeing what my younger self has gotten up to in this realm [Candy], I clearly underestimated the depth of my own desires.
Yeah, that must have been disconcerting. It's so easy for Life players, tied to the aspect of power and wealth and privilege, to decide they want IT ALL regardless of their class.
And Nannasprite realizes that if she HAD gotten revenge against the Batterwitch she wouldn't have been satisfied, that's a mature viewpoint; she can't fill the hole in her heart with it.
Wow, even watching Vriska these past few years has changed Nannasprite's point of view, she says?
NANNASPRITE: I had always wanted Betty Crocker to know what a mistake it was to steal my life, my potential, from me. NANNASPRITE: But the real issue was that not once during my childhood did I ever feel particularly wanted, or welcomed, into the world. I only had my brother, and even he ran off on me! NANNASPRITE: Yet despite that fact, and the anger and the disappointment, I still raised someone who knew what it was like to be loved.
And that pretty much SOLIDIFIES that this has to be about Vriska's lusus. We'll finally get to hear the version of her that TALKED to Vriska in sprite form, possibly! That would be the best way to work through the abuse that she was put through in part, and how unloved she felt in other-part where she felt if she didn't feed her lusus said lusus would easily have turned on her and eaten her to search out better food providers, Vriska likely always believed. Perhaps she'll also learn that her lusus thought teaching her to feed on and kill other trolls would MAKE HER STRONG, much like Bro's abuse of Dave was intended to make HIM 'strong' but weakened him in ways he's still reckoning with.
Nannasprite definitely feels that despite her hardship, she "indeed fulfill a path of potential to its fullest degree", lived a full and enriching life by doing what her own parent wouldn't for her for someone else, and doesn't regret it. And almost ("marginally") is grateful for the Batterwitch serving as counterexample, as learning NOT to live like her taught her how to seek true happiness through fulfilling others, not just herself. Vriska needs to learn this same lesson from her own experience with her lusus, it's being all spelled out here practically. Heck, it almost feels like we're speedrunning the part, except Vriska will need a bit more than the answer spelled out for her like this to get it through her thick head I bet.
VRISKA: I guess that makes sense. Weren't you worried, though? That you weren't following the right path, or living up to your destiny? NANNASPRITE: I never even considered that, hoo hoo! NANNASPRITE: Is that how you kids think these days? My lord, no wonder none of you go outside anymore.
(Pff)
Interesting, maybe Mindfang IS involved in this section too, maybe BOTH her lusus and Mindfang-- and the above is indeed an insecurity Vriska reckoned with through the very end of her plotline so far.
VRISKA: Don't p8tronize me, old lady! Destiny's the found8tion of my godhood!
Yeah, she still has a lot to learn.
Nannasprite contending that "destiny mostly fulfills itself" is nice, and also a very Life-player outlook I'd think.
Aw, Vriska's even apologizing for getting snippy!! She's come so far already!!!
Oh gosh, this WONDERFUL pose in this frame and Vriska's eye shining with emotion in it, that's so good.
{Choose Mindfang's Journal.}
Pure white...?
{????????}
Oh you overdramatic 8itch, Ancestor-version Aranea Serket! Mindfang being as overdramatic and insufferable as she TRULY MUST HAVE BEEN.
Now she's storywriting for her, setting a scene unseen, the way Mindfang's journals must have done for Vriska making her imagine her ancestor's setting and travels. Also interesting how her tangled spiderweb looked like broken glass...
As was the figure 8efore her. Though she had only ever seen it 8ehind her eyes, its form was shaped 8y words.
I have to admit, overdramatic as Mindfang can be, sometimes her writing is really damned good.
VRISKA: You can drop the ominous buildup, I already know the twist.
Hahahaha, even SHE'S getting impatient with Mindfang by now.
Oh? Had the thief 8een here 8efore?
Interesting to see the ghost/image that "shouldn't" know about the broader situation visibly deducing things about its recurrence, because both the real Mindfang would have and Vriska's image of her was smart enough to put it together.
--AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS!??! WOW. When she said she was stuck at this part, she wasn't kidding! I hope some of what Nannasprite just told her helps her finally break through the web Mindfang's journal caught her in.
VRISKA: The whole endeavor usually ends with me either killing you or... feeding myself to you.
WOW
IT'S HER LUSUS *AND* MINDFANG COMBINED
HOLY SHIT
Talk about a tangled knot of insecurities to tackle together all at once!!!!!!
VRISKA: You were all like, "Surprise, 8itch. I'm 8oth the Marquise, and your lusus!" And I fell str8 on my ass, flipping the fuck out like a 8ig tool.
Of course, this wasn't the way it was back in her real life. It's the fact that the impact both Mindfang and her Lusus's expectations had on her was similar, and an intertwined problem she has to deal with all at once. (Also this is a more interesting way to hear her lusus "talk to her" than hearing however the fuck Spidersprite must have roared.)
Scene change to the feeding cliff.
VRISKA: Hi, Momfang.
That's a heck of a nickname that works so well right now.
Holy FUCK AAAAH!!! That's a hell of a clever jumpscare and artistic depiction, her lusus roaring from out of the shape of the back of Mindfang's HAIR!
Ew, Vriska got stuck in the web once and had to eat her way out? Not pleasant.
WOW THAT'S DISTURBING, Mindfang tenderly hugging the lusus's severed head from after Vriska mercy-guillotine'd her. HS^2 artists are going crazy good here, both visually and thematically.
The girl was 8linded 8y her pup8ed angst. As 8efouled as those we8s were, this gossamer carnage had 8een home, once. Her time here made her who she was.
Fucking indeed. Vriska has to come to terms with that, both the good and bad of it, in ways she's refused to confront fully.
Mindfang asking her to collaborate with "thespian vivacity" here in her melodrama.
Yeah, back then the satisfaction of FLARP as a game was short-lived because it meant feeding the troll who lost to your lusus, ending in screams.
VRISKA: Every win, I had to share with her. Every moment, I felt her w8ting for me. It feels 8ad, not getting a choice when you do all the fucking work.
Yeah, her lusus's relationship with her was abusive and PARASITIC.
VRISKA: Sure, the 8ooty was gr8, up until the point where there was no one left to play with. After that, it was all good as gar8age.
:CCC
Ah HERE we go. Vriska's now hearing the voice of her mother(s) speaking to her conviction that it was a GOOD thing to be raised as a killer, when parts of Vriska have learned that there are ways of growing up not shouldering that awful responsibility that could have been better... but needs to accept that in her own case, too.
VRISKA: I've already tried respecting you for making me the 8est, 8ut you know what I'm realizing? VRISKA: I didn't have to go through aaaaaaaall of THAT to 8e strong. Vrissy didn't! VRISKA: Even growing up in a f8ke world where no one has a spine, and with 8arely any guidance, her powers can do things mine can't.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT she's LEARNING FROM VRISSY ALREADY YESSSSSSSS
AND FUCKING CONFIRMATION THAT I WAS RIGHT THAT SHE WAS MANIPULATING HUMANS IN WAYS VRISKA HERSELF COULDN'T!!!
I don't think this is the right place for her to realize that the other Vriska has a different Hero Role, but she will eventually, doubtless, if the theory pans out, and I just can't wait for that if it's going to happen.
VRISKA: 8ut that's the point, right? VRISKA: There is no p8sitive spin, no learning to appreci8 you, 8ecause even by Alternian st8ndards you sucked! VRISKA: You weren't a cust8dian, you were a responsi8ility. VRISKA: I protected you, I c8red for you, and you would have happily killed me the moment things didn't go your w8y.
FUCKING PREACH
And?
FUCK YOU MOMFANG
VRISKA: Th8t's not fucking norm8l!!!!!!!!
YESSSSS GROW UP VRISKA!!!!
Oh wow, now LUSUS HEAD Momfang is holding MINDFANG's head.
VRISKA: I had one place I was supposed to feel safe. VRISKA: Why did you h8ve to 8e everything wrong with the w8rld, rolled into one terri8le monster?
😭
Yeah, the momspider was only acting according to her toxic nature. There's nothing to redeem about it.
VRISKA: I KN8W YOU'RE HUNGRY! What a8out me? My entire gru8hood, I gave and you took. F8r once, what a8out what I w8nt?! She has never considered this. And wasn't considering it now, to be clear.
😭😭
8ut the narrator was curious, what DID the spiderling want from the monster?
Here we go... open your heart and spill out its contents, Vriska.
VRISKA: What I w8nt is for you to go 8ack in time and pr8tect that fucking kid, like you were supposed to!!!!!!!! VRISKA: If you did, may8e I'd 8e a8le to relax and let my f8cking guard down for ONCE, instead of const8ntly ruining things and thinking everyone is going to turn around and kill me!
😭😭😭
VRISKA: Oh my god. VRISKA: Tavros was right!!!!!!!!
HOLY SHIT
YOU GO GIRL!!!!
VRISKA: Now I get why talking to all my friends finally led up to you. VRISKA: Y8u're the reason why I could never trust any8ody! VRISKA: Even h8r!!!!!!!! Especi8lly her.
Nooooo Terezi thoughts!!! 😭 I mean I LOVE that she's finally putting it together but it's also SO SAD OMG
This is the pain she needed to face.
And now she's even rolling it into following in the footsteps of the Marquise being wrong.
She taught her descendant so much, and in such lurid detail. VRISKA: It was 80% smut!!!!!!!!
LOLOLOL
Yeah, just as you're saying now Vriska: Mindfang's example helped keep you alive, made you a "wicked pir8", but also made everyone else hate you. :C
VRISKA: I could have 8een any8ody... and you took that aw8y from me. You made me afraid of it.
I'd insert another very appropriate sob emoji here but I'm afraid of overusing it. I'm so glad Vriska is coming to terms with all this, FINALLY, after two years of trying to confront her mothers' ghosts.
--Of course Momfang says she thinks she would be an idiot to trust anyone. She was passing along her own toxic mentality.
And Vriska says she doesn't want to think like that anymore.
"TRAPPED."
Vriska regretting not killing her lusus, saving herself from what she became, before it was too late.... christ that's heavy.....
8ut even as she said it, the Thief knew that was never an option. Emancip8tion couldn't 8e granted to either party, only mutually assured destruction. VRISKA: ........ VRISKA: I wish it had 8een different. Impossible. VRISKA: I wish I was 8orn some8ody else.
Oh honey!!! 😭😭😭
Another dead end.
STFU
Vriska deservedly blowing up and yelling at her to let her get out from under her, be her own fucking person for once...
What will you do?
Oh boy... the PROMPT appears again for the first time in this branch. What will you do. Do what you will.
I wonder... perhaps this time you can run from her. Live without her. Seek... some sort of sanctuary, like the one your friends could have given you. What if you had gone to live in Terezi's treehouse and just, never, ever come home again? Her sleeping lusus wouldn't have eaten you, and you'd have been just as protected as Terezi was. What will you do, Vriska? What will you do here and now?
VRISKA: Huh. "KILL." VRISKA: You know, every week I come in here trying to figure out what more you could possi8ly want from me, and every week it's the same shit. VRISKA: I really am suuuuuuuuch a moron. "FEED." VRISKA: Exactly. It was never any deeper than that, the answer was right in front of my face. VRISKA: Well. I'm not your free ticket anymore. M8tricide then?
No, she's just going to walk away. She doesn't need to CONFRONT her mother... she just needs to MOVE ON from her.
VRISKA: Nah. VRISKA: I never really wanted that either. Lest the girl forget, there were only two choices.
Nope. There's always a third option. Tavros's option, the one you used to think too cowardly. You can always simply flee.
VRISKA: 8ut that's not true. I'm not a wiggler anymore. Alternia is dead. VRISKA: For once in my life, I have options. And just what did the ungrateful upstart mean 8y that? VRISKA (that pose from earlier, hands at her hips, grinning and eye shining almost-wet, brilliant.): I'm glad you asked! VRISKA: It means I finally get to walk away from all this. And I'm not going to look 8ack.
YES, YOU GET IT VRISKA! You can finally MOVE ON from her! You can be who you want to be now, you're not trapped anymore!
The spider forgot her hunger, for a moment at least, as the reality of such a statement sunk in.
Whoa, you even gave THEM pause. :D
She was only a spider. She did not fear death, or feel regret, or hold any sadness. She never once loved the girl. She did not feel responsible. That said, the arachnid had grown accustomed to the smaller creature's presence. She extended one long, spindly leg 8efore her, towards the young troll.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 fuck it I'm using as many of these as I want
As if to say, "HUG?"
😭
VRISKA: Oh, a8solutely not. VRISKA: Hell no.
Maybe. But if you held any feelings for her... what would be the harm, one last time? One first time?
That proved a good call, as the spider had 100% planned on eating the girl.
Okay I stand corrected. XD Get the fuck out of here Vriska, now that you finally know you never need to come back!
Instead, the long lim8 was retracted, placed 8etween the monster's own massive jaws.
What?
Crunch noise???
The spider would not notice when the girl turned to leave. And the girl would not turn around to see if she had. The 8ound cover was closed on our trusted narr8tor, as she whispered these final words. "Good luck, Vriska. 8e assured, you will need it."
🥺
And we hear the sound of footsteps, finally walking away.
{Level Complete!}
Lots of Fire motifs in the titles this time, ending in "FUNERAL PYRE". And that long candle... is it burning down a little bit each time? The lonely candle?
Perhaps representative of the trap?
Instead of going back and comparing it, I'll just take the easy route... and wait to compare it to how it looks the next time this game on page 666 updates. C:
Gosh that was so good. We'll leave things here. I'm finally caught up. I could speculate on what the last two that aren't the cueball mean... the feather doesn't make sense to me, and the 8-ball might just need to be BROKEN in order to escape the black Plot Point, metaphorically and/or literally, since Calliope did raise the possibility that the plot point might need to be "destroyed" and this candle of the time she's spending here might itself be burning it away, until she learns she has it in her heart to shine like the SUN and melt away the wax of the candle to nothing... but for once, instead of doing too much speculation on what's about to happen, I'd rather leave it for next time.
We might get to commentary at some point, or Patreon bonus panels, or even some of the Bonus Comics from before I might have missed the last tail ends of... in which case you'll get surprise posts about them from me, most likely. But for the moment, I'll just relax and see y'all again soon. At the minimum: talk to you next upd8! Or likely before then, since it seems these additions to Homestuck^2 might be weeks apart, and I'll likely feel the issue to delve into SOMETHING of the back-commentary before then in case this Mindfang journal update was anytime recent. <3
Note that if you didn't know already, the official homestuck twitter account is letting us know when the Plot Point page is upd8-ed (this last one was August 11th), and you might need to Force Refresh or clear your cache on the page if that Mindfang chapter or whatever new one that comes out later doesn't show up immediately. I'll be putting that twitter account on Notify for certain.

After a while of study in the field, I can safely say that with prolonged exposure to being in the homestuck fandom, one character will inevitably irradiate your mind. I say this because it finally started happening to me. (or at the least I finally noticed it)
Story of how I got to this point and why I made this nonsensical meme in [NOW] amount of time.
It is a few months back around august/september (i cant remember) I am reading homestuck for the first time in order to check a box on my "things i see everywhere online but don't know what are" list, I have yet to realize I like HS because I was in denial for almost the entirety of reading the webcomic and a few weeks after too.
I make the connection with Magnus the Red (character from thing I like quite a bit before hs, honestly 1k sons is a whole nother corruption arc for another day) to Vriska Serket. While I do not actively consider myself a fan of her due to coming into hs with the notion that she sucks and is the worst, I actual like her somewhat internally.
A bit after coming to terms with liking homestuck, I find myself looking at vriska's outfit and going "man, that jacket-thing is cool, I should get something like that!" [DIRE OMEN OF THE END] I go online and ask around to figure out what it is and finally come on to "Long Cardigan Sweater". I still have yet to get one because march sales have been going crazy for me and i only really get 20-25 dollars a week from me chores. ( I have no skills and cannot drive, I could not get an actual job if I wanted to )
Several [AMOUNTS OF TIME] pass and I have been in a piss-poor spot of luck with everything from warhammer games to around the house for a bit now and have been considering making a "funny little joke shrine to vriska because she the luck git". Me and my brother then get sick during a vacation where i was going to do things and our parents are away in vegas. I suffer because while i dont get sick much, when i do i get QUITE SICK. Also because I didn't know what medicine and in what amounts I needed to take. During this sickness malaise, in a spot where I am not: coughing every other 2 minutes,blowing mucus from my nose and still feeling full in the head when i'm out and just general headaches, I decide then and there to make a vriska shrine. It works, as I get better like a day in a half after making it and I end up going to it every time before i go gaming as my luck has increased more now that i'm going to her for it and not tzeentch. (tzeentch at that point had built up a history of screwing me over and tormenting me like a slanneshi cultist by always almost giving me the rolls I needed, but only finally giving them when they are completely unneeded)
Flash forward to recent times. I decide to keep updated on Beyond Canon after the flash had me and the others on the niche homestuck discord i frequent, goin crazy. New update comes out, and during the last update I was already sold on Hell-tier Vriska's design Its very cool. But yeah, new update drops, I decide to check it out and as soon as I see vriska's new design, my mind starts screaming and going at it, going on about "I WANT TO LOOK LIKE THAT, I SHOULD START PUTTING MY HAIR IN A PONYTAIL AGAIN" nonstop until I go to the next page. This is the point of when started to figure out with continued observation of those around me on that server and general observations of the fandom as a whole, my irradiation theory I brought up at the start. And that I was not above this phenomena. I am trying to put my hair in a ponytail more often, because it looks and feels good, and I plan to eventually get that cardigan sweater thing because I can't wear bathrobes in public and i never feel fully dressed without those long sweepy "coattails" (I think that's what they are called). But I wonder how this will progress, my curiosity far outweighs any fear or worry I might have for this series of unfolding events.
also here is that image I was talking about, my mind is still doing that screaming thing right now as I type this.

How do they react when you wear revealing clothes ft. The Eldarya Boys ♡
Nevra – He loves it. – Bonus point if it's something black. – His favorites are tight dresses/pants that accentuate your hips. – He would be a sucker for low-rise pants. – Now, he does get kind of jealous... but he can't help to smile smugly at those who watch you with desire. – He would be extra possesive since he doesn't want anyone getting any funny ideas. – He would walk with his arm around your waist or suddenly kiss you in a hall full of people. – If that isn't enough to draw back your admirors, then he would leave obvious bite marks in your neck or arms for others to see who you belong to. – Hs thinks you look really sexy with his markings in your skin. – Specially when you're wearing lingerie, a sight that only he gets to see.
Valkyon – He wouldn't be surprised in comparison to others since clothes are just clothes to him. – He thinks you look good no matter what you're wearing. – He does notice that it's a more daring style and that it can draw unwanted attention so he keeps an eye on you. – Sure no one would dare to make a move on his girlfriend but he prefers to stay vigilant. – He does act more touchy than normal, he can't help to touch your naked skin when it's displayed. – He's weak when you're wearing something backless, he adores caressing your back and watching you squirm to his hot touch. – Even so, his favorite is you with nothing on.
Leiftan – He gets flustered and turned on when seeing you like that. – He knows your body well at this point, but still gets kind of shy because of your beautiful features. – His favorites are plunge neck dresses/blouses, he loves a daring cleavege. – He's jealous by nature, so he gets even more jealous because everyone is watching you with dirty intentions. – He will stick to your side not even giving any others the opportunity to approach you. – He doesn't let go of your hand and fills your face of kisses not caring about who's watching. – If you start to feel self-conscious, he will remind you how pretty you look and how bad he wants to have you to himself. – Please, let him make you feel better... in bed.
Mathieu – He's very flustered when seeing you for the first time. – Seeing a more daring side of you makes him so shy. – He will be nervous around you incapable of looking at your face. – His favorites are crop tops and shorts/skirts, he loses it when seeing your belly. – He will even steal glances at you when he thinks you're distracted. – He's another one who gets jealous of others shamelessly eyeing you. – He will follow you like a guard dog. – He just want to protect you of all the possible perverts that could come your way. – He wouldn't mind if you keep wearing stuff like that as long as you're comfortable. – Of course that his ultimate favorite is seeing you in one of his shirts.
Lance – When he sees you, he does a double take thinking he saw wrong. – He didn't know you had clothes like that. – He all in for it, specially since it gives him easier access when touching you. – He's into legs, so he would love when you wear short dresses or skirts that highlight your smooth legs. – Nobody would be dumb enough to try something funny knowing you're his girlfriend, so he doesn't care about prying eyes. – Now, if it makes you uncomfortable... then he would just glare daggers at those degenerates. – And if that isn't enough, then he will need to claim you as his right in front of them so they get the message. – He will keep you in his lap with his arms around you and his lips teasing your neck. – He would ask you to wear something much more revealing just for him to see.
Ezarel – He gets shocked to the core. – It's too early to see you like that. – He's by your side and he remains there the whole day. – He's all giddy thinking you dressed up like that just to get a reaction out of him. – He would ask you to let him choose what you wear next, he has a good idea of what would look even better on you. – He would send dirty looks to anyone who is stealing glances at you. – He's into blouses/shirts that don't cover up your neck. – He's weak for the back of your neck. – He does get flustered when you caught him looking at you. – If you tease him by showing him the lace underwear you're using he will take you to his room no questions ask.
Double post today because Everglow girlies are back ♡

BTVS group rewatch: 1.04
(ugh one week i will post before Sunday but not this week.) the usual favorite lines, parallels, and bisexual Buffy scanning below the cut, and spoilers!
the first bad ep for me, of S1. (for the poll) this originally aired March 1997. less than one year later another show started, and it is my related reco TV show episode:
1.04 Dawson's Creek 1x01 "Pilot" which originally aired Jan 20, 1998
DAWSON'S CREEK TANGENT:
it had been a long time since i last watched Dawson's Creek. Xander and Pacey feel very related, but i'm a Joshua Jackson fan and even with his atrocious S1 bowl cut i prefer Pacey over Xander. (i'm shallow, sue me.) anyways i rewatched Dawson's Pilot and was alarmed to find that the problematic Pacey x his teacher plot was not a one-off in the pilot like i remembered. the 90s were not the best time, that's for sure. Pacey eventually sleeps with his teacher (i mean, that's how the show presents it) in episode 3 or 4! and their "drama" continues, it's a whole multi-episode plotline!! Jesus. so if you want a pulse check on the vibes network TV had about HS boys sleeping with their woman teachers, consider watching Dawson's Creek's pilot.
anyways, Dawson's Creek - like BTVS - starts as a high school show. but it doesn't have the vampire / magic elements. feels like Dawson's has a bigger budget, and there isn't that campy vibe that BTVS has, esp S1 BTVS. the shows do talk to each other slightly, Pacey at some point referencing a "Hellmouth" with "monsters and demons." And Spike famously watches Dawson's Creek: "oh Pacey you blind idiot. Can't you see she [Joey] doesn't love you?" LOL
Bi rating: still 0 (this is really more of a queer or not straight scale, since Buffy's attraction to men is canon and already established in the show)
RECYCLED IDEAS / FORESHADOWING / PARALLELS
Xander's fantasy scene includes a cool stake throw kill -> Oz throwing a stake and totally not getting the kill
Blayne acting suave to the new teacher in his letterman jacket -> reminds me of the ep Him with the jacket
Miss French being a big bug -> the makeup selling bug guy
Dr. Gregory -> very similar vibe to Professor Worth (the vulcanologist that Faith kills)
FAVORITE LINES
"she never said anything about him being buff." - Xander re Angel
"i don't want any more surprises in my hot dogs." - Willow re school lunch
"she is by and large woman shaped." - Giles re Miss French
solid Bangel bait: "it looks better on you." - Angel re his jacket on Buffy. (pause for Angel to exit) "oh boy" - Buffy re Angel (yes, such a real reaction)
OTHER THOUGHTS
i actually like the Xander fantasy opening, and the guitar riff callback later in the ep.
sign of the times: the slide projector in class!
Angel giving Buffy his jacket is a winning move. also really love Buffy's reaction to that. he realization that her feelings for him are gonna be a PROBLEM real.
another slomo shot - this time for the new teacher Miss French
i totally forgot they found Dr. Gregory headless!
i believe this is the first scene where we see Buffy cry (really? can someone fact check me?) - she is crying about Dr. Gregory dying
i like that Buffy is smart here, esp her bat sonar idea
this whole ep is dark, like literally dark. i want the lighting to be brighter. i wonder if it was intentionally dark to hide the cheap special effects for the she-mantis?
i don't like the implication that Dr. Gregory was a virgin when he died. (i mean yes, virginity is just a dumb construct but *waves hands*) he was headless and those eggs at the end imply this. it doesn't seem believable.
a lotta virginity talk, which feels realistic. so much energy spent on talking about this in HS. (see also: Dawson's Creek)
OK, i've done a horrible job of reading and reacting to other people's posts for the rewatch. i have a thing that is mostly wrapping up this week, so hopefully i can dig into other posts some more soon!

Hi, how are you? 😊I'm excited to see the NerGen but I would like to know: I adore Nathaniel, but I confess that sometimes I have difficulties understanding his true personality. What is he really like? Is he more the Nath of HS, College or LL? And where does the inspiration to create him come from? Thank you very much! 💕 💕 💕
Hi ! Thank you, I'm excited too XD Can't wait but still lots of work to deal with.
Nathaniel is, of course, a bit of all those versions you meet through the game.
He is a good person, no doubt about that. And you meet this part of him in HSL. But you also learn he is not always an angel neither. It's specifically pointed out in the episode when you learn a bit about his and Cas' childhoods, where you learn he could be a meanie with his sister. So at this point, he is still a teenager and his father has been controlling him so much that it makes it impossible for him to experiment and experience during adolescent crisis (to name it like that; things lots of teenagers can do at that stage, like they will stay outside after curfew, some might try a bit of alchool or smoke, have bad frequentations etc... ) -Read this with a grain of salt, I am not saying that IRL all teenagers do this, or that they have to do that etc... Just that it is a common development stage for most youngsters- So as young adult in CL he gets all this freedom and the possibility to try all those things but with no one to help love or guide him (like any good parental figure is supposed to do). So as we say in french, he is in "roue libre", kinda out of control, and it goes too far. (I imagine it came gradually of course, not everything all of a sudden.) -Here again, it is something that can happen, and that you might have witnessed if you have had friends with very severe parents, they sometimes snap when they reach majority -
By LL he is much better, and starts to find himself but he still has lot of patchup to do, which can explain a bit of chaotic behaviors at times. But he is a good boi, and at the end of the day he will be fine and will keep bettering himself, both for him and Candy. (It’s also mentionned he started to see a therapist to help him in this process.) -side note : I sometimes see comments of people who are angry at a character for reacting this way or that way. I would just like to say that for a same event happening to 10 people, all those persons can react and deal with it very differently, (sometimes even in opposite reactions). The way you might deal with whatever event or trauma is valid, but it is not the only universal way for all -

hii! does anybody have any advice on how to feel okay with not having friends? i spent years abroad, so in the meantime my irl friends from hs found other friends to hang out with who they seem to like more than me or else are very busy with work and uni and such. which is cool, good for them for having such a vibrant social life, but it feels like they have no room for me anymore and i'm a person who can't make friends that easily. i don't drink or smoke, and i feel uncomfortable in big gatherings and feel better getting to know ppl one-on-one over a longer period of time, but that makes it hard for me to connect to ppl bc most irl people don't have much patience or already have their own established friend group and little old me doesn't hold their attention.
i'm starting a new job in a couple of weeks, so hopefully that will give me the necessary social interaction plus i have a great family, so i'm not going stir crazy, it just hurts a little that my friends don't bother to text me for days if i don't text them first or invite me out to places. and i'm trying to make new friends, it just doesn't come that easy and in the meantime i wish i could just feel at peace w being alone instead of questioning why people don't want to hang out with me or why i don't feature into their leisure plans. (not that i'm blaming them, it's just that it's hard not to feel inadequate.)
so yeah, anyone have any advice on how to feel at peace w being alone? like, maybe i'll never manage to make new friends or make new connections, maybe through lack of trying, maybe through lack of luck, idc, i just want to be enough for myself, but i don't know how.
so any wise words are appreciated and thank you, OTNF, for letting me vent in your inbox :)

Well... those feelings are pretty common and a natural reaction to the situation. You may not really get rid of them entirely, but you can accept them as a natural part of things and not a sign that anything has gone wrong.
HS friends rarely stick with each other even during college, let alone after, so you would likely be in this same boat regardless. Making new adult friends can be a pain, but it's something most of us face multiple times even if we luck into some good friend groups at points and even if we're more social.
The thing to do for many people is to keep busy with hobbies. A crafting meetup or book club isn't usually massive. I know you don't like groups, but nobody is going to go off one-on-one without meeting you in a group context first. Finding some more manageable groups to meet people casually and see if you click is how most people do it. The only way to get to know people over time is to show up in the same places with the same people a lot.
--
Another important thing to realize about adult friends is that many of them won't be good about texting you or inviting you because they're all out of energy for doing that with anyone. Maybe all of their energy is reserved for a job. Maybe for a child. Maybe for a romantic partner.
Even if you're their very best friend, they may still not respond much at certain times in their life. If you guys are just post college, maybe that's not the issue yet, but it will be at some point.
Every single book about the plague of loneliness and how people suck at maintaining core friendships outside of their household is fixated on this. People suck at recognizing when they aren't putting enough energy into maintaining relationships.
I would axe that hangdog attitude about little old you not holding people's attention. They probably just aren't allocating time to building friendships at all.
--
Liking being alone has a lot to do with loving yourself in general and having hobbies and things you want to have time for that are solo pursuits.
It's also about not waiting to do things like go to a restaurant you want to check out. Go alone. Go with a book. Anything can be a solo activity unless it literally mandates 2+ people. Missing out on friend time shouldn't mean missing out on everything else, but a lot of people let it become that.

i HAVE to be anonymous for this because i feel like i woupd fucking get blown to bits by the others but seriously everyone !!!
can we all PLEASE like seriously PLEASE stop saying that pom here was trying to like incentivise or is somehow ""encouraging"" minors to like be attacked or something ??
in their post they literally say that minors need to be careful and take any measures necessary !! and that sw is a core tie with jirai culture and we should NOT be complaining about that even if we are minors.
those are two separate statements. 1 is saying that jirai culture is tied to sw. the other is saying that minors are also tied to jirai culture. thus meaning, BOTH are important so minors STAY SAFE !! that's literally what they said !!!
i'm not even friends (or even following pom) but saying shit like "bitch you're an adult" to try to invalidate them is in fact ageist too btw!!
if you notice when an anon here on pom's page tried to insult us minors for our age, they literally had the grace to at least say that they wouldn't make fun of our age even though, we are (by definition) HARASSING THEM !!!
we have to be better than this. if someone is worth criticising, please criticise them for THOSE specific things that are bad.
not things like their age or things that they clearly did not say !!! anyone who can read it can clearly see! i know we all just want to be supportive of each other but we can't all just blindly follow along and reblog and like such strong accusations and potentially HURT other people in similar situations or have similar opinions !
the main thing i was trying to get across was just that it is inevitable that people will be looking for sex and making sexual comments on jiraiblr and to protect yourself.
the paragraph about "if its triggering you probably shouldnt be on here" wasnt to say if youre upset by it that you arent allowed on jiraiblr or something, just that if it is triggering (which is more than just being upset, it is when it actively triggers a disorder, like PTSD, and causes you emotional strain) or extremely upsetting, its not safe to be on public spaces like this one, because it is always a possibility that someone will try to solicit you or be weird.
i never really considered it as ageist, but it is definitely at least.. silly? theyre acting like im 30 or something and not 19 years old. im not even a year out of HS yet? like, the developmental difference between me and (most of) them is not as vast as they make it out to be.
thank you for sending this :( im sorry you had to do it in anonymity, i think the fact that supporters from the other side of this have to hide is kind of .. telling why this is such. just. nonsense at this point.
even just being my friend warrants harassment to them and im just tired. nothing i say or do is right to people on here.
im going to main tag this, i hope thats okay.

Hi! I have a question, I hope I can explain myself: how would you describe Gojo on a moral level? I see the majority of the fandom (jjk in general, not just the shipping ones) considers him a good person, but I'd argue he's more on the grey side...and not a light grey. See, I can't really wrap my head around the way he blatantly ignores the fact the Suguru was completely fucked up, to the point that in chap 236 he wishes Suguru was with him before fighting Sukuna and imagining him (adult Suguro, the fucked up one) together with the same students he tried to kill in jjk0. How on earth? If I'm not mistaken Gojo never really says "yeah, Suguru was my friend but he used to be completely different, this is not the Suguru I used to be friends with". He never says Suguru was wrong. He just misses him, even though he was surrounded by people who liked him. At least Shoko clearly doesn't feel any affection towards Suguru. And let's not talk about the way he doesn't really seem concerned about the future of his students in chap 236. What do you think? Just to clarify: I do like Gojo. But I don't share the sentiment of the rest of the fandom: he's not a good person. I guess Nanami was right
i sort of explained how i think gojo sees the matter of suguru before but it's buried in my blog since i don't tag properly so to any one else reading this i might be repeating myself.
to gojo the "suguru he knew in hs" and the "suguru he killed" are one and the same. i don't believe gojo is the type to draw hard lines like the average person since he is "enlightened"— as his name (satoru) suggests. "past" suguru is at his core the same as "future" suguru. to him the person suguru becomes doesn't exist in a vacuum (his path is ultimately a product of their society). in other words, to gojo the distinction lies not in what suguru did, but who suguru is (gojo doesn't conflate actions with the "self"). i think this is how gege, who seems to be an overthinker, looks at the whole thing anyways. the matter doesn't boil down to "good" or "bad".
and the thing is gojo loves suguru at his core (or i choose to interpret it that way anyways). gege frames him as gojo's "one and only friend" for a reason. i think he's the only person who ever really made gojo feel that he was "just like everyone else."
being "liked" by others (and even reciprocating those feelings) doesn't help fill the gap gojo felt from losing suguru. gojo's simply been growing around the loss. i think this diagram explains gojo's sentiments best:

i also don't think that gojo's unconcerned for his students so much as choosing to be an optimist (once more, which aligns with his progressive ideals too),

honestly, there's not much left for gojo to do beyond the grave either.+he really went all out. he didn't exactly roll over and die haha there was a possibility his own hollow purple might kill him but that was a sacrifice he was willing to take to beat sukuna, for his students sake... but also because he was feeling experimental

in any case, if you look at his desires, sukuna wasn't even his priority,

in conclusion: i don't think gojo's a bad person or that nanami even implies that in ch 236 haha i think he's shown to be human (he loves to fight despite everything and he fails to connect with others).
sukuna even calls gojo greedy two chapters later. that's a very human trait. the thing is sukuna is technically right too because despite all gojo's power, wealth, success, and the people who like him— there's only one thing he wanted (geto by his side),

tldr: it's complicated. gojo's doing his best lol hope that makes sense?
#i will notice some horrific typo later#i need to go back and tag things so i can find them ahshsj#gojo satoru#jujutsu kaisen#jjk 236#asks#satosugu#i guess
