I will admit that it's hard seeing Homestuck 2/Beyond Canon as anything beyond a metatextual "oh, you want more of the story? well, this is what you get for wishing there was more, everybody you liked is miserable or awful now" directed at its predecessor's audience, at least/especially before the new team took over, but every once in a while it still does something that REALLY hits. the new [S] update was SO good
#i'm not hatereading it necessarily#but i'm also not necessarily enjoying it very much#it's hard to quantify#i think it's mostly a curiosity to me#as a case study in seeing how an entirely different team of people salvages or course-corrects (or doesn't!) from its initial direction#as well as just. one possible way for the story to continue#plus the art is just as good as ever#and with my turn toward Vriska Appreciation over the past few years#i will admit it's doing some REALLY good stuff with her character#do i like that it came at the expense of literally all my favorite characters in the original story being absolutely fucked over plotwise?#or otherwise turned into atrociously awful and unlikable people in ways I genuinely don't believe fit their characters or benefit the plot?#no. obviously not.#but it's doing SOMETHING and what it's doing is often INTERESTING even if I don't like it. so here we are#not tagging this with the actual comic name so nobody thinks this is an HS2 blog

It is 5am and I read through the whole blog and I love love love the family dynamics and all the thought you’ve put into the lore and details 🩷 so! You’ve mentioned that if there aren’t any kids to make godkids, there won’t be any food for fairies. What do you mean by that? 👀
Also! Is there anything you wanna draw/tell us about the AU that nobody’s asked yet?
Is it still 5am for u, im sorry i've trapped u in 5am for 2 days now.
SO! Fairies feed on emotions, and different courts have different diets! The most common one is "desire". However, desires can't be harvested unless it's released from the human's body and becomes magic. The best way to do this is to have the person "Make a Wish".
This is why Fairies can't get desires from adults! Adults have a strong resistance to memory-tampering magic, which means their wishes are near impossible to grant if Fairies want to stay hidden.
After the wish is granted, the desire is removed and sent to the Big Wand. From there, desires leak out across Fairyworld, and fairies get to eat! It tastes best in the form of chocolate cake, I've heard.
Bitties Series: [Start] > [Previous] > [Next]
Fun fact: Fairy Wings can be damaged or removed. Jorgen Vonstrangle doesn't have wings anymore!! He's a flightless fairy.
#fairly oddparents#fop#fop a new wish#sketchydetails17#asks#sorry the art is a bit reduced. it was very hard to quantify/show the process for how fairies eat!!!#but the long and short of it is!!!!#magic helps fairies collect emotions!!#once the emotion for a particular wish is taken it doesnt come back though#omnomnomnomom#itty bitties fop au

your list of sweet things noel has done for liam is soooo cute, i'm sure somebody already asked u that but do u have the same list of things liam has done for noel?? <33
okay well... this is gonna sound Bad lol. but no, and it's p much impossible to compile such a specific list bc liam doesn't really work like that. not in the way noel does. liam's love language, if we want to think about it in those terms, is quality time. he is, in the best possible sense, a little animal who lives fully and completely in the moment, without the "artifice" or distraction of planning ahead, considering his actions, or making calculated efforts. [by which i don't mean he's INCAPABLE of doing those things, only that they don't come instinctively to him in the way they might to other people.] his method of showing/experiencing love is to exist with someone, soaking in and sharing presence, talking and drinking and having a laugh. he has surely said and done so many incredibly beautiful sweet things for noel over the years, most of which never got recorded, compliments and thoughtful observations and casual little acts of affection, but it's noteworthy that the things he has said on the record, as it were, are hugely centred around noel's music--aka the thing that's most important to noel in the entire world. if we're defining "doing something sweet" as some combination of: 1) making the other person feel happy/loved/appreciated 2) INTENDING to make the other person feel that way (regardless of success lol) then basically every time liam opened his mouth about noel('s music) over the past 30+ years counts, and the list would therefore still be impossible to compile due to sheer volume.
HOWEVER, here's a little honourable mentions category <3:
that time he gave noel flowers (+ this incredibly important followup)
the AIDS comment
threatening james from starsailor for being rude to noel
drunk philly kiss
sharing his beer
q awards kiss
#this mismatch of communication styles just ONE MORE REASON (and a big one at that) why their relationship has been so fraught imo#if anyone wants to add their own fave moments of him being sweet to noel please do!!#it's just... so hard to quantify in the same concrete manner as noel's acts of love...#communiques

there's something so bittersweet about finding out you're autistic and that autistic people have trouble maintaining friendships long term. one one hand you're like oh! maybe there isn't something uniquely horrible about me! lots of people like me struggle with this! but then you realize that if it's not you, it's not in your power to fix
#like it truly is so isolating and heartbreaking in a way idk if i can quantify#feeling like you're genetically hard to love#having great pattern recognition and being able to tell the exact moment a friendship is over#when the scales have tipped and you've been found to be too much or too little or just too fucking different#and sometimes when you live like that for decades#it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy#don't get me wrong - autistic people can and do have beautiful loving friendships#i've loved my best friend since we were 12#but they're the only active friend i have rn that i've known for significantly more than a year#idk. it's past 5am and i should probably just sleep#but i'm up thinking about the chronic loneliness of disability instead#wreaking havoc

learning so much more than I ever cared to know about surfactants and solubilizing amphoteric lipophiles for insertion into cell membranes.
#blog#stem#did u kno the order of irritation/disruptiveness to cell membranes from least to most goes nonionic then amphoteric then anionic then catio#did u kno that lipophilicity is quantified by things like the octanol water partition coefficient n hlb (hydrophilic/lipophilic balance)#did u know to solubilize a hydrophobe w a surfactant u have to have a conc. of surfactant above its critical micellar concentration#did u know its mad hard to find the conc. that will solubilize ur shit but not kill ur cells

for real tho I think social media turning human interaction into weird numbers has us decensitized to how *incredible* it is to have 22 people taking the time to sit with your work, decide they like it, and let you know about it, like it's genuinely quite wonderful <3
#thoughts#on art#numbers go up brainrot is the same for stock brokers and for artists on social media unfortunately u_u#quantifying connection is hard to avoid and sometimes it's even cool but it can be so diminishing too for no good reason

Janeway’s chaotic, Chakotay likes to cause problems on purpose; their potential child would be a walking disaster. Like one day the kid finds a plasma torch and gets stars in her eyes. Chakotay gets the tool away from her faster than he’s ever done anything in his life and then he sits with his head in his hands for 30 minutes because instantly he can see his future; a life of trying to keep pretty pretty fire away from a Janeway baby.
A week later Janeway comes up to him like ‘hey, hon, I can’t believe I’m the one having to say this but you can’t teach our four-year old how to weld’
Chakotay, still having war flashbacks from his revelation: it’s a soldering iron and she needs to learn how to use it correctly
#chakotay#janeway x chakotay#we don’t talk about this but the devastating their kid could unleash is hard to quantify#Kathryn janeway#Star Trek voyager#Star Trek#Star Trek prodigy

There's a reactor on youtube that called Dick the 2nd best detective in the world and someone commented this :
"LOL sorry but Dick Grayson isn't the '2nd Greatest Detective in the World', maybe top 5. You can maybe call him the 2nd Greatest Detective out of the Robins...Bruce Wayne is number 1 and Detective Chimp is number 2 and then Tim Drake and I might even put Barry Allen as number 4 above Dick because hell, the guy is a professional 'detective' since he works at a crime lab."
I just needed a second after that cause Barry is a better detective than Dick cause he's a "professional" detective in his daily life... cause the guy who's a former cop is not apparently LOL
Also, wtf is Chimp ??
Dick's canonically confirmed to be second best to Bruce in detective skills. I can't say whether he or Bruce are better than Bobo (Detective Chimp) because I'm not that familiar with Bobo. Although, Dick called Bobo the world's greatest detective recently in Titans: Beast World #3.
#also it's kinda hard to properly determine who's a better detective y'know. like hard to quantify.#as long as the case gets solved then it's like cool nice job detective laksjdal#Dick Grayson#detective skills#anon

Okay, maybe we can talk about Slick/Jack's dog fetish just a little bit. Because what the fuck. This isn't furry porn, this is just dogs. Like straight up dogs. I know this doesn't necessarily contain pornography of dogs as we would quantify it, but it's still being used as pornographic material, so... Maybe not a crime by our standards, but also by our standards still... Really weird.
Do you think Jack was really enthused about becoming Bec Noir, or...?
#sorry to talk about carapacian sexuality on main we're lorecrafting stuff about carapacians so i have to think about these things right now#homestuck#homestuck meta#carapacians#the midnight crew#jack noir#spades slick#cw animal harm#<== not.. really???? this is hard to quantify. this is definitely zoophilic but. thats kinda just a magazine of normal dog pictures. i hope#'[x] harm' is just my catch-all for these sorts of things so... i suppose it works?#ss.pdf#jack.pdf#nekro.pdf#nekro.txt

ur top 5 fav authors on hit website tumblr dot com?
that's a tough ask anon, I like a ton believe it or not lol. It also depends on the fandom, each fandom has so many brilliant writers in their own regard. This will also be a bit biased (hi mutuals teehee) and not on a scale because writing is something we're always improving on.
so, with that said, here are my top fav writers on this site without any order to em.
@solxamber: I really like her stories and how creative she can get with things! She started with a bang and just keeps going.
@goosewriting: They have some incredible world building and are really good at keeping things in character. Idk, I'm bad at giving reasons without sounding repetitive 😣
@luimagines: if you noticed that spam of this authors work...no you didn't-
@daistea: her love for one character had caught my heart and her fics for him are just chefs kiss.
@finniestoncrane: They are an 18+ only blog so minors don't go there. But I really like her Riddler works and they reblog funny things lol
ok so these are just a few of my favorites and I tried to cherry pick ones from different fandoms. I feel bad, if you're a mutual or someone I follow and are not on this list pls know you're also my fav I just couldn't fit you into the list 😣 I really don't like picking favorites 😭
#❥ • asks#I don't really have a top 5 ngl#this is more just '5 authors I liked enough to follow'#I like different people's works for different reasons and its hard to quantify that in my head#plus like I said before everyone is constantly improving so that just adds to it#or the fact that someone writes for a fandom or character idk so I don't read it#what I'm trying to say is pls don't feel bad if you're not on the list I love you I swear

are you telling me book 2 is 400k and DONE???
"Done" is a strong word! and it may end up shorter (or. longer QuQ) with further editing! But in terms of "the prose are all written and are ready for us to start pruning and refining": yup!
#reader mailbag#I closed the last gap last night! Very exciting.#We've only been working on it for uhhhhhh god. Since before AtS was published I think#although at first it was very much a 'haha this of course isn't for official posting it's just for fun!' side-writing for the hell of it lo#so! hard to quantify

all times john’s left the boys alone. he did it because they needed to learn how to survive without him, how to take care of each other because one day he might leave for a hunt and not come back. he couldn’t let them rely on him too much. when sam was seven or so, dean would’ve been around eleven, john left them at a cabin in montana with a barely stocked kitchen and half a set of survival skills between them. snow piled up two feet that winter and he wasn’t sure if dean knew well enough how to start a fire. they could’ve died. john knew that. he could’ve come back to two small, lifeless bodies wrapped around each other for heat that wouldn’t stick. but he couldn’t coddle them, they needed to learn to fend for themselves. and sure enough, when he pulled up a week later, smoke was curling up out the chimney and his boys were scared and hungry but warm, rationed three cans of beans and melted snow in front of the fire for water when the pipes froze.
#i just feel very strongly about him being a shit parent but its bc his idea of what quantifies 'good parenting' is so distorted#like HE thinks he's doing what's right but really it's just fucking sam and dean up so hard#and he knows he's doing it he just doesn't think there's another option#raising them rough is the only way to keep them safe#AND I LOVE IT#supernatural ficlet#john winchester’s a+ parenting#hc#💜

And here we are, at the final Sunday! ('The Final Countdown' blares in the background) Jokes aside, I hope this last chapter doesn't disappoint as the conclusion to this wild ride. It's been a wonderful time, and while I'm sad to see the fic finished it's nice to have something like this finished. I never thought I would be able to write something this long, this involved, and yet here it is sitting every-so-calmly on my AO3 <3 Thank you for everyone who's been keeping up this entire time, and welcome to anyone who was waiting for it to be completed in order to dive in. An especially big thank you to @dbh-bb and @connor-sent-by-cyberlife, as the event and collab partner that made this all possible. For some reason, Tumblr won't let me put this link in all fancy-like, so please excuse the boring link below ; ~;
https://archiveofourown.org/works/58781611/chapters/158487766
The Red Room (162392 words) by rking200 Chapters: 18/18 Fandom: Detroit: Become Human (Video Game) Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Hank Anderson/Connor Characters: Hank Anderson, Connor (Detroit: Become Human), Original Chloe | RT600, Markus (Detroit: Become Human), Elijah Kamski Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Human, Stalking, Vomiting, Suicidal Thoughts, Top Hank Anderson, Bottom Connor (Detroit: Become Human), Connor is a Mess (Detroit: Become Human), Hank Anderson is Bad at Feelings, Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism, Missing Persons, Abduction, Manipulation, Death Threats, Mental Health Issues, Zlatko didn't do it, POV Alternating, Slow Burn, Sex at some point Summary: Connor Stern is a law school dropout who dreams of making it big in the music industry. He manages to get into a special apprenticeship program with the musical genius Elijah Kamski and, despite working two jobs and struggling to stay afloat, feels like his dream is finally within his grasp. When Hank Anderson stumbles into the lounge Connor performs at, The Red Room, he becomes entranced with him. As Hank falls in love with Connor's voice, he ends up entangled with conflicting emotions and delicate situations. Slowly, his nights are filled with Connor's songs and his closeness, even if he feels he doesn't deserve it. They reach several roadblocks along the way of getting closer, some more dangerous than others. A collaboration written alongside Connor-sent-by-Cyberlife for the Reverse Big Bang 2024, told with a POV alternating between Hank and Connor. Chapters added weekly.
