«The difference between Suho and Baku? Baku fought to protect the entire school. But Suho? Suho fought for Si-eun. Every moment, every battle—it was always for him.»

-director.

And maybe that’s why for Baku the whole school came but for Sieun it was only Suho.

[drdtfuitgumies]

We know how 'opinionated' Watari can be, what does she think of the girls in the DRDT cast?

i'd like to know out of morbid curiosity... maybe YOU can come up with something and let the world know too! thank you for the request!

(additional ask implemented in this situation)

[im-kinno-hello]

and if i made a comic about them making a blog for the weird demon dog they found in the woods just because they are being brainwashed by it and it told them they need to spread the word of what word they don’t even fucking know?

[dearmyloveleys]

no cuz the way suho will definitely give sieun princess treatment in S3 when everything settles down? it’s gonna be even worse when he’s able to move on his own again. the princess treatment was already sickeningly sweet in S1. *screaming and kicking my feet*

feeding him the lettuce wrap? squishing his cheeks? picking him up from cram school (this whole sequence is still a fever dream the way i clocked that it was not casual since I watched it)

MHA didn't create some miracle way of helping others. It was never promised to be this way. And when it came to villains...

Spoilers for manga all the way to chapter 423.

The only way to get anything in life in MHA was to be born "normal" like everyone else and that way of thinking never left Izuku with Toga getting the same treatment she did before from everyone from her family to her "normal" classmates. It was Ochako who helped Toga even if just a little by lifting the weight of all the feelings that Toga had.

She couldn't save Toga the way one could save a civilian by saving them from harm. If it worked that way Dabi would've saved Toga even before Ochako could apologize for failing to notice Toga. She was so lazer focused on saving everyone else, that she was just another villain to stop, not a human.

Even if by the end of it Ochako helped Toga to deal with her grief, acceptance as it was wasn't something possible when a quirk makes you want to drink someone's blood from jealousy.

We got a bittersweet ending with Toga, in which she probably died from blood loss just like her double did in MVA. If it wasn't for Twice she would've died back then.

Giving away her blood for Ochako wasn't a redemption or a way to save Toga in the end, more as it was her being true to herself until the very end.

Just like Twice chose to stay with the League even if Hawks offered him a way to survive that battle. He refused and died protecting his friends who accepted him instead of choosing to betray them and accept Hawks' offer.

After Twice's death... It was a matter of time that more 'active' LoV members would join him as well. As sad as it is, we now can return to Izuku.

Who, after his time OFA-AFO quirk space, now wanted to help a "crying boy" he saw in Tenko just as before with Katsuki in chapter 1. He didn't forgive Tomura and didn't excuse the way he chose to solve his problems.

It didn't mean that Tomura would survive in their battle, even if Izuku didn't see killing others as a way to solve problems. He didn't understand Tomura, but he still wanted to try, and try he did.

The rest of this post was nothing more than a contextual prologue to understand that it's not the first time a hero failed to save a villain and in Twice's case we know that he died and his death was the reason Toga started thinking about her own possible death and Dabi finally revealed himself as Toya.

The goal of saving a "crying boy" never was an end-goal for Izuku in the Final arc, since helping Tomura deal with his feelings just left him hollow with a goal that clashed with Izuku's. As being a hero for villains meant destroying the world for them to help them live freely.

But that was before AFO resurfaced.

Sadly after that Tomura who was talking about making his own choices for a while now stopped doing that. Even if he still had a goal of helping villains and only villains, Tomura was almost gone. And his goals were now unreachable.

Izuku helped Nana who in turn kept Tomura from fading away entirely. In MHA there were countless situations where Izuku's help affected people by helping a different person to keep hope, All-Might being the first one and Nana being the last one at the moment.

Hollow after Izuku helped him to get rid of his hatred Tomura could do the only thing he did - accept the situation as it was.

Accepting AFO as his Sensei, accepting Stain's ideals and Overhaul's deal was the way he solved his problems. Just like Izuku had a problem of understanding something outside of his norm, Tomura was accepting too many things, which lead to his downfall after accepting AFO's quirk.

Just like Twice could've given up everything that he had for his friends so did Tomura.

With Izuku helping as much as he could let Tomura to finally rest as he wasn't really living ever since waking up in the hospital. With his body now affected by AFO's wishes instead of his own until the end.

In a way Izuku didn't succeed in his wish for Tomura to stop ever since PLF war arc. As he "kept fighting to destroy" no matter how hard Izuku tried to stop him.

The only thing he succeeded in was changing Tomura's mind about himself, instead of viewing himself as a monster he accepted that he was a human just like Izuku said. A "crying boy" who couldn't really destroy Izuku's hands in the end.

For a group of Villains who weren't supposed to get profiles of their own at the start of the series, League is slowly fading as the most memorable group that there was in MHA, getting backstories, their own Villain themed arc all the while being as human as anyone else.

As sad as their story is they were not "unlucky", they didn't need a happy false ending where they would need to change to be normal - they chose to live this way and they lived it to it's fullest.

A message to my younger self:

"Enjoy the butterflies, enjoy being naïve

Enjoy the nerves, the pressure, people not knowing your name.

Enjoy the process of making a name for yourself, getting faster and faster with each lap and meeting some great people along the way

Bring friends along. Bring family along. Don't assume they'll be a distraction. Don't be afraid to surround yourself with people you care about and love"

I’ll never be popular for my writing because making just one fic is taking me a billion years wtf

Anyways in the meantime part 3 of shit my partner and I say to each other that feels completely windbreaker coded and it’s totally not just because of brain rot

Super short edition

Class 1-1 playing games together again

Nerei: oh, I bet we could teach Sakura how to play Minecraft next! It’s pretty easy mechanics!

Sakura: Minecraft…?

Kiryu: Let’s just stick with the relaxing games for now.. he already gets stressed enough about his debt to tom nook.

Sakura: What?! You sayin’ I can’t handle some stupid game-

Suo: I have to agree with Kiryu this time. Everyone would be fighting skeletons while Sakura was fighting his inner demons.

Bonus-

Kiryu: I feel like Suo and Sakura are different kinds of unhinged…

Nerei: *has seen too much* No, Sakura is unhinged. Suo was never built with hinges.

[decarabias]

shuake’s mutual "hmmm" at first sight vibe is so so good. the core motivation for them getting to know each other is really just "what the hell is this guy's deal?"

akechi's side is pretty obvious — what better way to supplement your monitoring of the phantom thieves than befriending their leader?

but ren's side is almost more interesting to me here, especially because he largely approaches his non-phantom thief confidants from a completely transactional perspective. akechi kind of starts off that way too, because he plays his hand too early by unintentionally revealing that he's seen them in the metaverse, and then follows that up with essentially concern trolling about their methods on national television. so of course that's going to pique ren's interest.

and then somewhere amidst the "you don't know that i know that you know" 4D chess of it all, they genuinely become friends despite both of them knowing that they're on a collision course that won't end well. they’re so much.

[finnsblood]

back with my hot takes about oh beomseok that shouldn’t really be hot takes at all: i’m actually really satisfied with beomseoks ending. no, not because he didnt face any legal repercussions, (we’ll get back to that. but just know i’m not entirely partial to him) it’s because the whole ending of his arc continues the cycle of abuse.

it’s been said before, by the lovely people of the whc fandom, but sieun intentionally not hurting beomseok was the worst punshiment sieun couldve gave him. along with the legal repercussions - his father wouldn’t have ever let him be in prison, because that would jeopardize his reputation, right? - but also it was to keep beomseok in control. in line. he single-handedly made sure, indirect or not, that beomseok never had someone to turn to into the end. he essentially killed his own best friend due to trauma and abuse and jealousy and feeling so alien and othered & so many many more reasons. the only person who could’ve come close to truly, genuinely understanding him, with beomseoks abuse and his suffering mirrored in his eyes - is gone. he made him go away. he killed his best friend, sieun, just as he killed suho; and he even killed himself, and he even killed what brought him belonging and hope and happiness for the first time in his life.

and that guilt will haunt him for the rest of his life. tell me, what does a person who lived a life of abuse and suffering all as consequence for being alien, othered, do when faced with the fact they don’t face any consequences for something they did truly, and utterly, bad? they seek it for themselves. it continues the cycle of abuse and self destruction that beomseok seems to be doomed to. i wouldn’t be surprised if in whc3 that hes either dead, depressed and suicidal, or just straight up self harming. it’s what for some, makes his character so sad, and for some, makes his ending so satisfying. it’s the perfect consequence for him.

[lain-h]

I feel like One is a more realistic version of Weak Hero, with the longer, uglier fights and the ML whose motivation is self-serving and grounded to his own trauma.

Not that it necessarily makes for a better cinema, but one has to appreciate the effort.

[stoicman-wbk]

I'm sorry if I misunderstood something, I did my best. Okay, so for the sentence game

" 'Taiga-kun, what happened?' Suo asked, after waking up on Tsuegura's back"

Thanks for the prompt!!!

I'm a big fan of the idea that Suo and Tsuge knew each other prior to high school, so Tsuge knows more about Suo than he lets on.

__

1) "Taiga-kun, what happened?" Suo asked, after waking up on Tsugeura's back.

2) "Oh, you're awake!" Tsuge exclaimed cheerfully, trying his best not to speak too loudly, knowing the other preferred the quiet.

3) "You passed out while we were all leaving for patrol, you know," Tsuge explained, "and everyone was super worried cos it's not like you!"

4) Suo hummed in thought, "Not like me, huh…..?" he trailed off, laying his head back on the other's shoulder with a melancholic expression.

5) "Yeah," Tsuge smiled softly as he continued to carry Suo toward their homes, "it's not like the others knew you from before, so….honestly I'm surprised you lasted this long without them finding out."

6) "Just….don't tell them anything," Suo sighed deeply, his arms wrapping around Tsuge in a form of comfort, "I'll explain it myself….after I get some rest."

You Can’t Just Rename Somebody Else’s Pet????

(page 1684-1706)

A lot going on in these pages, including kids meeting in person, possible(?) information on how Sburb gates work, Dave’s dream self, and Rose’s surprising interest in a pro basketball player.

First, there’s a Pesterlog between John and gallowsCalibrator, where after she quite literally got him killed she’s only ‘kind of giving [him] the creeps!’ (p.1684). And then he enters the second gate (or, what GC calls the second gate) on her instructions, despite how disastrously things went the last time he accepted her help. I think John believes in forgiveness and second chances – he must do, to have been friends with Dave so long. He also doesn’t wish actual harm on anyone he actively knows, nothing worse than a prank, so it’s hard for him to imagine other people having that mindset, which also explains how Dave later tricks him into giving him the captcha code for Rose’s journals. Finally, while John springs into action in immediately life-threatening situations, he might not have much regard for his life in the abstract given his general disconnect from it. This version of John didn’t experience going into the denizen’s palace and being slaughtered – so it feels more like a video game threat than an actual threat.

Google LOWAS is a fun new interactive feature and something we haven’t seen before: it tells us absolutely nothing new about the world, but does give a different and cool perspective. Parts of it look exactly like a fungus under a microscope, it’s got the same soft fluffy ridges that fan out like branches, although that could be the effect of a filter or Photoshop effect on an actual landmass. The Gate 2 flash animation fakeout is less successful, partly because I’m blessed and haven’t experienced the ‘waiting game��� where server overload makes it take forever for a flash to load, and partly because the lack of ‘[S]’ and the current update pace makes this unlikely to be a flash anyway,

I really like how John’s gone from being incredibly homestuck to being the biggest trailblazer of all the kids, and the one who’s going to the most places. He’s got a rocketpack and has explored all around LOWAS, he’s now hitting up LOLAR, and pretty soon he’ll be on his way to the Veil. I think that’s another reason he trusted GC again: he wants to try things out and to explore after a lifetime of restrictions. She’s giving him the tools to do that, and even though he’s hesitant to trust her specifically, the concept is irresistible.

KIDS PHYSICALLY IN THE SAME PLACE TIMELINE: John and Jade p.1049, Rose and John p.1690, Dave and Rose p.1704

But what a scary situation to suddenly be thrust into a possible in-person social encounter with an online friend you never really expected to meet in person. That’s the sort of thing someone needs days of notice to mentally prepare for (in my experience). That and the total destruction of her walls (and the genetic code; certainly that’ll take some time to reconstruct) explain why he’s so hesitant and uncertain to do anything else in the room, even look at his own gift. Rose pretty much said she was going to knit something for him (p.442) and the tiny glimpse we get here confirms that, but gives no further clues.

John talks to Davesprite, and then asks to talk to ‘the real dave’ (p.1692), which is a fucking slap in the face. Davesprite is arguably the realer Dave, as he’s spent more time being Dave, and current Dave can only exist because of him. It probably sucks to be Davesprite and to see the other version of yourself succeeding and messing around with his friends, after spending four months grieving and suffering and having that go basically unacknowledged. Current Dave claims he ‘wouldn’t give a shit’ (p.1692), but he actually has no way of knowing that without going through Davesprite’s life changing experiences. I guess I’d like to see Davesprite go off and have an arc of his own instead of just being current Dave’s companion, but given how sprites are designed to serve players, I don’t know how likely that is.

TG: the progression of gates is like this whole round robin thing TG: cycling through each planet TG: gate 2 on your planet leads to gate 2 on roses TG: then you build up to gate 3 above her house which leads somewhere else on her planet TG: you look for gate 4 somewhere there TG: which leads to gate 4 above my house (p.1692)

ok so if Davesprite is right here, the progression of gates would look something like this.

which, if true, would mean that John ended up fighting the denizen on Jade’s planet, therefore completing her quest instead of his own. This doesn’t super track to me given how customized the quests and lands seem to be for each player, tying into their titles and domains. Also, Dave went through Gate 5 onto LOHAC (p.1641), his own land, which doesn’t fit the progression. Jade never entering the Medium in the dark timeline means her gates would never appear in the Medium, but there’s no reason to think John’s gates would disappear if he died (but who knows).

A few possible explanations. One, Davesprite is wrong, and for some reason this is information even sprites don’t have. Two, Davesprite is lying, and for some reason Skaia wants to hide this from players or Davesprite is fighting against his sprite programming to conceal this from John. Three, there will be a later reveal surrounding the gates and how they work that’ll make all of this irrelevant anyway. Or, four – I’ve talked about Homestuck becoming less about concrete and predictable mechanics and more about loose concepts and themes as it’s gone on, so, this could be basically unimportant to the story because we’re not actually going to see the kids go through these gates. John is heading to the Veil soon (p.1667) so breaking the expected progression, Jack Noir has glitched the session, and the game is about to go off the rails. The gate system is being used to serve the story right now and allow for some important beats in Rose’s room, but will be irrelevant as the story goal is to hack, change or escape the game, not to follow its rules.

KIDS’ DREAM SELVES REVEALED: 4/4 (+ Bonus[?] Lil Cal)

I really like how Rose is drawn in this panel (p.1697), like she’s mid-jump, very fluid and graceful. The bisexual Derse tower in the background is fun too.

Dave’s dream room, on the other hand, is an absolute disaster. All the kids’ rooms feature clutter and accessories from their waking rooms, but not everything from their waking rooms – for example, there’s no sight of the totem lathe in Rose’s dream room (p.1655). Dave’s is a perfect mirror except for the wall decorations, including cruxtruder, toilet, crows, dead things, and trailing wires. Rose would say this mirrors his cluttered and chaotic mind. I think this is connected to Dave already being awake and not knowing it – his mind doesn’t shut down even when he’s asleep, there’s this background noise constantly keeping him agitated and restless, so he can probably get a full eight hours and wake up feeling like he hasn’t slept at all.

Of course he’s drawn Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff on his walls. I’d guess he came up with the idea while his actual world self was asleep, maybe even draws the comics while asleep given that even his dream self is terminally online, and then the ideas return to his waking self because his two selves are connected, he just hasn’t realized until now. Cal’s presence in Dave’s dream room is like an even creepier analog to the Jack Noir harlequin doll in John’s room, but that was an inanimate doll. Cal is moving around and has an actual dream self with a tiny nightgown, which might be confirmation that he’s partially sentient, or is somehow a part of Sburb. It’s also a great explanation for what Dave has previously told us about his dreams.

TG: oh man i wish lil cal wouldnt look at me like that TG: with those dead eyes jesus TG: sometimes i dream that hes real and hes talking to me and i wake up in a cold sweat and basically flip the fuck out (p.419)

KIDS FALLING ASLEEP AT INOPPORTUNE MOMENTS: 4/4 COMPLETE!

‘"April is the cruelest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire, stirring dull roots with spring rain." -American sports legend, Charles Barkley’ (p.307)

I gotta say, if there was one part of Homestuck I didn’t expect to be explained in some way, it was these misattributed quotes. Rose thought about this quote (which is originally from T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land) on her journey to confront her mom downstairs, and now John finds a book of poetry on her shelf written by Charles Barkley, suggesting that in this universe, Rose is not misattributing the quote.

I’m usually more interested in football and baseball so I don’t know this guy at all, but I looked up Charles Barkley and he does seem to have had an impressive career, and an interesting life outside of sports too. He was among the first group of Black students at his elementary school and was openly supportive of a teammate with HIV as early as 1991, as well as speaking out in support of queer communities on lots of occasions. He also broke a bunch of basketball records despite being seen early on as too short and fat to play, appeared in Space Jam, named his daughter after a mall (which I’ve been to), and has written a couple books for real, although none of them are called This Ocean Charles. He has some controversies for sure, but there’s far worse people to reference in a webcomic. Or perhaps two webcomics, as I guess the quote on the front cover implies Barkley is the basketball player featured in Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff #6 and #10.
