not everyone medically transitions and some people dont medically transition until much later in life. honestly its like a net positive if theres more “clocky” trans art. helps ppl be more comfortable in their own bodies to see representation. YOU DONT HAVE TO LOOK LIKE A CIS PERSON TO BE YOUR GENDER!!! draw her with stubble after a sleep over, draw her in masculine clothes, draw him topless w no binder at the beach, draw him with feminine clothes. FREE URSELVES!

i am picturing dave going to LOFAF seeing a very clocky 13-year-old jade harley in a dress that exposes her broad shoulders and immediately getting insane palpitations. dumb and compulsively transphobic boys when they see a transfem heartthrob

through altercations known only to me rereading my lalonde wizard post has made me think about what class each of the kids would play in dungeons and dragons, so i’m subjecting my 2 followers to it.

john: fighter. i’m sorry but i can’t see him picking anything else besides maybe like… ranger. he mostly sticks to the default subclass but jade probably made him try rune knight at least once for a one-shot. he found it too complicated but relented to branch out into more subclasses afterwards.

dave: i’m torn between rogue and hexblade warlock. mayhaps some sort of cursed multiclass of both. he seems like the type to look up game guides to get the most broken character build possible and make up a backstory on the fly but he ends up actually quite attached to his pcs.

rose: probably a warlock. my first instinct was wizard, but i think she’d enjoy the flavour of warlock more, considering her gothic tendencies. she started out with the great old one patron but then discovered homebrew and became unstoppable. that one player who sends 10 pages of backstory, but it’s actually enjoyable to read

jade: the dungeon master. she’s the one who can most reliably engage all the players in the game without overcomplicating the plot and probably excels in juggling everyone’s game preferences. though when she does get to play she probably has no set character type and just makes a character depending on what strikes her fancy that day

jane: my first instinct was a city ranger build, since that’s probably the closest you get to a detective in dnd, but hear me out.. paladin. the strict code of oath. the angsty backstories. the heroic persona. jane spent a lot of time pre-game playing damsel in distress. i think she’d enjoy playing the knight for once. she probably tries it just to try it at first but ends up liking the mechanics so much she just sticks to it

dirk: right. we have a few options here. the first one is specifically cavalier fighter, because they get a mount. obvious choice. but for some reason he also strikes me as someone who would play sorcerer. it has some of the most fiddly mechanics in the game and it’s one of the closest classes we get to not-newbie-friendly in dnd. he’d like the challenge. then he looks at the set up of the rest of the party, sees they have no healer, and begrudgingly picks cleric/druid

roxy: is there really a question here? she would play wizard. she might branch out into warlock for a one-shot or something when she sees rose play it but she would probably prefer the versatility and sheer volume of wizard spells. i swear opening the wizard spell list is like spinning a wheel of fortune every damn time. also it means she gets to have a familiar and obviously she would make mutini (i mean, excuse me, moutani)

jake: i’m imagining his character creation went a little something like this: “So which class will let me do some pistol action?” “well, technically any of them, if you have the right proficiency!” “Okay but are there any that are like, really good at it?” “i mean… there are gunslingers and technically artificers…” “Great! i’ll play that then” before jade can explain gunslingers are actually sort of really complicated to play, especially for newbies. eventually he switches to bard

bonus: terezi plays barbarian. you can’t convince me otherwise.

The 41% survey is about trans people who were suicidal at one point, not all trans people who've committed suicide. What conservatives draw from that is :

Trans people commit suicide at high rates, ergo trans people are mentally ill. According to the National Alliance of Mental Illness, 46% of people who died of suicide were mentally ill, ergo those events are related. (Disregard that Gender Dysphoria is a mental illness.)

Mentally ill people sometimes have psychosis.

Because trans people are mentally ill, that means they are crazy and delusional.

But when they bring up the high suicide rates of men, their takeaway is not that men are crazy and delusional, but that society treats them so poorly that they are driven to suicide. Either the high rates of both cis men and trans people are indicative of insanity or that society has failed both. You can't interpret the same data two different ways.

Gross oversimplification actually. I forgot Rose and Dave are cis. My cranium is swelling.

strilondes transition into the gender they appear as in the comic.

haryleycrockengberts transition out of it. Do you understand?

Big brain.

something i enjoy about homestuck is that all of the characters feel so real, like people you could meet, either online or in real life. its not something i see a lot in media, and i think that part of homestuck is fairly underrated.

me seeing dirkri get a huge spike in popularity in the fandom?? 😟

Fully being a mask-off hater right now: I hate it lol, this fandom will start shipping anything to avoid looking at literally any other piece of media or to try to look Original, even if it makes absolutely no sense and has zero grounds in canon and zero ground in basic senses of chemistry.

I loathe the shipping culture that makes this kind of thing happen. They’ve literally never interacted before and have no chemistry, and I see people act like they’re the most narratively deep thing in the world while also being shippy-fluffy uguu. That’s an AroAce conservative 19 year old with a million years of brainrot and a staunch inability to improve, and… A normal mentally ill 16 year old boy.

This is literally just a response to DaveKat and people’s obsession with Dirk. Dirk does not deserve to put up with Kankri, and people seem to know that because they’re not writing Kankri, they’re writing Some Other Fucking Guy Entirely. I don’t think they’re really writing Dirk, either. You are writing OCs.

june and roxy are both reddit transfems but from completely different subs,

june is a r/memes and r/traaa skirt go spinny joyous soul

roxy is a r/196 r/wedoalittleposting girlmoding boysmell enjoyer

june shows roxy that fucking chibi template with the pink haired girl with the bow and sunglasses something something gender euphoria from normal things? naw i'll take gender euphoria from, idk, failing to pick up a milk carton or some estrogen pun and roxy will get hit with a wave of cringe/nostalgia so bad she dies

roxy will show june a photo of the boymoder anime girl overlaid with dense 4chan terms and vaguely horny and june has nothing to do but stare blankly

[pointless-discourse]

a lot of the problems i see older fans having with june (especially not on tumblr) is similar to a problem i see with a lot of trans people irl.

she's still the same character. nothing's changed but the name.

[pointless-discourse]

strider fans annoy me. Not like ppl in the fandom who like striders and also other characters but those fans who ONLY focus on strider lore and angst and shipping. Dirk isn’t the only lonely homestuck character!!! Read the comic!!! Women exist!!!!
