So idea where Batman finds out Captain Marvel's identity and respects that he wants to keep it secret and still be independent but also is a little worried and saddened by him not having any people his age he can talk to about hero stuff so he sets up him and Damian as pen pals.

Neither one knows the other's civilian or hero identity (although Billy very strongly suspects it's Robin because c'mon) but they were each vetted by Batman so might as well?

also i stayed in a hotel for the night because the drive to the show was like ~5 hours, so couldn't just come straight back after the show and i was almost sentenced to death, because in the room, there was like a little bedside radio / alarm clock setup, and it was putting out the most awful, subtle-until-you-notice-it electrical feedback noise

The thing I love about Victorian and Edwardian fashion is that even if I don't like a piece of clothing, even if it's an affront to God and the most unfortunate combination of colours and drapery, I am ALWAYS stunned into appreciation when I see the details. The amount of minute, manual attention paid to each square centimetre of cloth is mindblowing. I can just imagine someone stooping over that corner of sleeve sewing on each individual bead or lining up the waist tape in a work dress or arranging the frills with a host of finicky pins. I wish each piece of my clothing was as unique and full of dedication and character

Magical girl and Superhero tend to have a lot in common (both are pretty broad descriptors though) but one thing I’ve noticed is that there can be a subtle difference in how the “self” is viewed.

Both magical girl and superhero have the civilian and superhero self come into conflict with each other, but in my experience, magical girl views both identities as the true version while superhero tends to pick one.

For example, Superman is Kal-El, the last Kryptonian. He’s a strong alien and Clark Kent is his secret identity. Bruce Wayne is Batman and Bruce Wayne is the thing he does when he isn’t Batman. There’s usually a hierarchy.

Meanwhile, magical girl doesn’t tend to pick one. Sakura is the card captor and the normal girl as a singular identity. For Sailor Moon, Usagi has an arc in both the 90s anime and the manga where she feels conflicted between if she’s Princess Serenity of the Silver Millennium, Sailor Moon the guardian of justice, or Usagi Tsukino the normal girl. And the conclusion of this arc is that she’s all of these at once, not just a singular one.

I think this comes down to how the self is historically viewed across cultures. In the west we tend to consider a “true” unchanging self, while most eastern philosophy doesn’t consider a singular true self. I wouldn’t say this is a conscious bias in either case, but a lot of cultural concepts can still be traced back to historical philosophy. Superhero comics originate in the west and magical girl comics originate in the east, so both genres generally reflect their respective historical philosophies.

I've been thinking about the kind of playstyle Axl EXE would have. I'm actually curious what kinds of chips he'd use most often xD

Oho , Axl.exe would be a fast navi :] , though he is pretty much low health for a boss

He mostly cycle through his buster gun and his scythe , he mostly like to dash when he uses the scythe and uses mostly sneak attacks ^^ ( comparison maybe spooky virus)

And Axl can make 2 shadow clones of himself like MMX Red ^^)9 , and his ability “A trans” where he can copy other navi and use their power ( but it won’t be as powerful unless he able to get that navi’s full data by defeating them or forcefully extract)

For chips , i think Red is pretty adventurous , though he gives Axl more ranged chip like shotgun or dash

But since Red is legally blind , Axl’s custom bar is slow

not sure if my ask sent BUT I’m loving people being vocal about the fandom not caring about eddie outside of buddie. it’s been happening since the dawn of time (lol) and there’s a reason so many vocalists about eddie decided to be loud and obnoxious about it (including yours truly). his journey is nuanced and he’s such a good character to explore a straight-maybe to bucksexual love with but it will take TIME for anything to happen because of that journey. still. you said eddie rights and i love that.

This is the only ask I got from you, so it probably got lost in the blue void if you sent something else. But absolutely, something I noticed during the hiatus, because while I have been lurking around the fandom since season 5, I only really started to actively post thoughts and stuff after the lightning, so I spent a really long time observing people even more when I started posting random metas, or just thoughts, people have this almost pathological need to make everything about Eddie about Buck. I legit remember making a post about Shannon and blocking several people because they kept making what happened with Shannon about Buck, and that's not it. Eddie is a FASCINATING character. He is so nuanced. And he is so well written and acted out. Like, I was casual about the show until fear-o-phobia (tbf that was the 3rd episode I watched live but still). Eddie grabbed me by the throat that day. And there's so much that people give Buck a pass that they would NEVER give to Eddie. And there's so much to explore with him. And yeah, I think his queer journey will involve Buck somehow, but because I truly believe that man is demi and I don't care about anything else. Making him have a complicated relationship with attraction as a whole is so much more interesting than saying he's just looking for a beard his whole life. And the amount of people I saw picking fights about people not shipping Buck and Tommy because "they have this need that Eddie should be the only man for Buck" (when literally everyone in the fandom hc Buck 1.0 as having slept with guys too) that are people I had seen saying that Eddie only ever loved Buck, straight up erasing the whole concept that he might've been in love with his wife is wild. If Eddie is not adding something to Buck and this idea that Buck is this baby that needs to be protected and can do no wrong, then he is being unnecessary or ooc or just plain weird and THAT'S WILD. Sure Buck and Eddie have a compelling relationship, and I LOVE exploring the possibilities around how much Eddie loves Buck, but Eddie exists for more than loving Buck and both of them exist outside of each other. Honestly, right now, Eddie needs some defenders because it's rough out here. If people can pick fights about Buck the way they do, Imma do the same about Eddie. If people don't agree then that's their problem.

You’ve Played Your Last Game Of Musical Hats, Pal

(page 1173-1195)

A lot is going on in this intermission – the vibe I’m personally getting is that a lot of it is over the top fun and nonsense, with the occasional detail that will be very important to Homestuck overall. For example, ‘You made this town what it is after all. Wasn't nothin' but a bunch of dust and rocks before you got here’ (p.1189) is big information if we take it as literally true. It would help to figure out exactly where we are first, but, still big. And if we’re somewhere in the Incipisphere, it would mean that NPCs have memories of building the world, it didn’t just come together fully formed.

Clubs Deuce is a really fun character. The one-dimensional tropes do make a nice break from fighting through the many mental walls that the beta kids have put up against their various traumas, and ‘villain by circumstances who’s actually a sweet if dopey guy’ is a classic. He wants to be part of the group (and they need a fourth member to make the bit work) but they have a difference of opinion when it comes to clocks. This could tear the group apart. Deuce also mentions bombs, so perhaps despite his seeming nicer than Slick, he could be something of a ‘ticking time bomb’?

Slick would kill and die for his two licorice scotty dogs, which are like children to him, and Deuce is the same with his emotional support licorice gummy bears. I LOVE Homestuck’s philosophy of character creation where basically every character, no matter how minor, gets an unexpected interest or object. There’s plenty of media out there where assistants and henchmen don’t have distinct personalities and could be easily exchanged, but things like these scotty dogs are memorable, every time, even if this never becomes important.

I feel similar about the musical hats, and the implication that the Midnight Crew all need backup hats because the Felt are constantly playing this game. On page 1184 where Itchy disappears for a split second but has managed to go find both Droog and Slick, steal their hats, and bring them back to exchange with Doze and Deuce? Hilarious, no notes. Hell even if this goes nowhere, this intermission is filled with banger moments and lines - ‘it’s driving him nuts. Just very slowly.’ (p.1181) in relation to Doze’s hat is also very good.

Knowing this is an intermission planned for just a couple weeks, I don’t have a real drive to learn the rules of the inventory system. The sylladex was introduced so gradually, Act 1 taking a lot of time to explore mechanics and fetch modi beyond the array introduced one at a time with enough space for the reader to get to grips with them – it’s not always intuitive but it’s been carefully deployed. Slick and Deuce’s inventory have been thrown at us so fast that it’s either assuming familiarity with Problem Sleuth, which might explain it better, or it needs to be rolled with more than fully understood.

One meta layer further, even the character transitions are different here. Spades Slick is commanded to ‘Be Hearts Boxcars’ (p.1177) and ‘Be Diamonds Droog’ (p.1192) and each time ignores the command, and becomes Clubs Deuce instead. Each time it’s not a refusal, just a matter of fact. The command ‘Stop being Hearts Boxcars’ (p.1186) works to become Slick again, despite never being Boxcars in the first place. It’s a kind of blatant disregard for the distinctions between characters that we’ve never seen before, and it highlights both the general confusion of the situation, and the fact that the Midnight Crew work as a unit, sharing a theme and physical space in a way that the beta kids never have.

Time continues to be questionable - ‘Smooth as clockwork, and every bit as logical’ (p.1174) describes Slick’s highly illogical inventory system, and the next page lays it out even clearer with ‘You can never take tense for granted with these goons.’ And killing Itchy on page 1188 felt almost too easy. Almost like someone here might have powers to turn time back and resurrect someone. @tenaciouschronicler has done great work breaking down the puns in the Felt’s names in this post, but it seems their names also relate to their powers! Which is cool because it’ll make these 14-16 similar looking green guys easier to remember, and means it might be possible to predict some of their powers before we see them. Here’s some thoughts based on the information we have so far – most of them are very vague guesses for now, but hopefully this will come together over the next few days!

Itchy – [confirmed] goes very fast. Someone who has itchy feet wants to leave a place and gets bored easily, and Itchy is leaving places all the time and quickly.

Doze – [confirmed] can slow time down for himself (p.1179). Someone who is in a doze has either fallen asleep, spaced out or lost track of time, and Doze moves sluggishly, as though he’s very sleepy.

Trace – can see people’s traces through time, perhaps meets someone and is able to intuit their whole history

Clover – four-leaf clovers are typically lucky, so could have some luck powers, and they’re also difficult to find, so he could be difficult to locate in the timeline somehow

Fin – knows when things are going to finish, is aware of everyone’s time and date of death

Die – (I take issue with this name because to me the standard die is 20 sided, but ok) has an effigy with pins stuck into it (p.1191), perhaps teleports to the locations of deaths automatically? But probably has more death and time related powers too, as Slick is very concerned about him causing a ‘temporal mess’

Crowbar – can pry time apart, maybe create a gap in the timeline which can then be filled with things that couldn’t otherwise happen

Snowman – presumably something to do with freezing time, possibly for their enemies as a contrast to Doze

Stitch – can put stitches in time, sewing the timeline back together if a timeloop is broken or a paradox is caused

Sawbuck – a tool for holding wood so that it can be sawed. Perhaps he can hold the timeline and keep it stable while other people mess around with it, allowing for more flexibility regarding paradoxes

Matchsticks – can see two parallel/alternate timelines at once, maybe? And then choose between them by setting fire to the one he doesn’t like?

Eggs – lays them on an extremely regular schedule (I got nothing for this one)

Biscuits – knows exactly when the biscuits are perfectly cooked without having to open the oven and check; Dad Egbert’s new best friend (see above)

Quarters – could be like the coins, or dividing something into four, or like living quarters. Could be something to do with flipping a coin to determine someone’s fate?

Cans – perhaps knowledge of possibility/probability, to know what ‘can’ happen? Cans is also slang for headphones, so something to do with recording and replaying time?

Lord English – rewinds time specifically to a British feudalist era, I GUESS. If that’s the case then I’m on Spades Slick’s side about taking this guy down.
