in canon, dirk is not a little uwu soft boy that has never done anything/anyone wrong.in canon, nepeta isnt your nya discord kitten. in canon, dave isnt a lil soft pretty boy. in canon, jane isnt a selfless girl. in canon, the majority- if not all of the cast of homestuck, not a single person hasnt been an asshole at some point.
friendly reminder that, if someone does not like your comfort character/kin for something they did in canon, you do not need to take it personally. or, if you do take it personally, respect this person for their opinions.
(same goes for ships)
dirkjake wasnt flawless
davekat wasnt your lil soft gay babies
and the list goes on. (i dont hate these ships btw i love dirkjake content)
((before you get mad at me-))
can you pretend all is fine in headcanon and fan content? absolutely. dont let me stop you there. but please remember source material when interacting with the fandom.
please remember that there are people who have real life experiences, and will often relate to certain characters for certain reasons while hating other characters for very, very personal reasons.
it is not your place to fix their opinion, or yell at them.
every homestuck character is an asshole (at some point). yes, even that one, yup, that one too.
if someone says, “hey, this character makes me very uncomfortable” do not say “omg how dare you they are my biggest kin!!!”
instead, respect it, and talk about the character to someone else. your interpretation is not another’s.
tumblr being all adults nowadays is so funny because my mutuals are either unemployed chainsmokers or Ezra, Bioengineering PHD Candidate at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
i still can't get over the sheer AUDACITY of iroh going to ba sing se. like did it work? yes. but ONLY because the dai li was too busy following around some bald kid looking for his dog to notice him
