If the Supreme Master in the time loop au eventually becomes aware of the loops and uses that as a form of torture, well that’s not any of y’all’s business.

Hear me out... We got Yandere Burning spice...what about Yandere Herald of Change

Oh God... That would be so horrible lol. If we're working with the Herald of Change from the time travel AU, theeeeeeeen he would have to be closer to corruption than he is in the actual story (Golden Cheese is transported to a time where Burning Spice was still a genuine good guy). Yandere Herald would be different from Yandere Beast in that he wants to have Golden Cheese to himself forever, but is more... discreet about it. He tries harder to pretend to be normal, because he's actually aware that he'd drive her away if he didn't. But his mask would start slipping with time, because Golden Cheese wants to go home and he doesn't want that. He wants her to stay. He doesn't actually know or understand where her home is (Time Travel AU Spice doesn't know she came from the future, only that she's lost), but does it really matter? Why can't she make a new home here with him? Why can't she stay with him? She should stay with him. He'll convince her to stay with him. She'll understand and agree. And if she doesn't? If she doesn't... No, of course she will. Won't she? Why wouldn't she? That kingdom she's mentioned? Those people? They don't need her like he does. He's sure they're doing ok without her. Worse comes to worst, they can make a new kingdom together. That's his job, after all: to build and nurture civilizations. They can have one of their own, they can be king and queen. They can be happy. She can be happy. She just has to stay. She has to stay. She has to stay. She has to stay.

If she still doesn't want to stay...?

Fine. It's fine. He'll make her stay.

From-, The Buzzwole, @justbuzzingaround

"How tall is Gold Choco Cookie in feet?- "If Gold Choco Cookie is 4'0"-5'0" feet tall-"-, Does/Did Gold Choco Cookie have a condition or disorder based on decrease in height or is it just because of his family genetics?"

*I've been thinking that he's 4'0"-5'0" feet tall... Sorry, Gold Choco Cookie... (|||❛︵❛.)*

Well... He was taller... once. Not terribly, but enough.

Gold's recent height is caused by a slew of complications, most of which do involve his unnaturally long age and just general faulty body. Chip wasn't really... born in peak physicality. He was chronically weak and brittle, sometimes even sickly if he wasn't careful. Doctors even advised him against his life of tinkering, otherwise they worried he might work himself into an early grave.

It made Croissant fret over him almost constantly when she found out, to the point it made Chip bitter about not just the coddling- But the fact it came from someone who was everything he was told he couldn't be. Perfect health, perfect mechanic, perfect inventor that could spit out mountains of wonderful machines. Cookies singing her praises almost daily. Meanwhile, despite his own talent, he was relegated to fixing up broken clocks and managing finances. Only able to truly experiment when Croissant wasn't looking. And even then, he found himself struggling to get anything made... It was maddening! It was unfair... If only he could just... Fix himself.

Why The Ending Sucks

Ok I figured it out. Hear me out:

The entire comic has a running theme best summed up as "who is controlling the narrative, and why are we listening to them?"

Hussie plays a caricaturized version of himself that he describes as "buffoonish" and "oafish". Caricature!Hussie is well-meaning, but a dumb idiot who's incredibly biased in favor of certain characters and in disfavor of others (the most obvious example being his "love" of Vriska, but there's also the way he constantly disparages Eridan). As a result, you have to be VERY SKEPTICAL and VERY CAREFUL when approaching Homestuck's narration, because even when the "best" narrator is at the helm, he's not 100% trustworthy and incapable of giving the readers an unbiased view of the story.

I say "best" because, importantly, Hussie isn't the story's only narrator. He and Doc Scratch explicitly fight over control of the story - Doc Scratch, the child abusing predator who engineered Alternia's fascist murder society, whose shaping of its history is explicitly described by character!Hussie as "fanfic". He is then killed by Lord English, who is described by Hussie as embodying the "toxically masculine" and by extension, the patriarchy, and Caliborn explicitly takes control of the story. John even grapples with Caliborn's version of events, calling out how sexist and misogynistic and shitty it is.

So if we're keeping score: control over the narrative is LITERALLY wrested away from Hussie (who was already struggling to be unbiased) by fascists, abusers, and the patriarchy. It's stressed multiple times that Caliborn/LE are responsible for literally everything that ever happens; the reason the Game Over timeline ends the way that it does is because the alpha timeline is, in essence, the narrative LE is telling: the forces of fascism get to claim the new universe, thereby propogating itself, while friendship dies and all hope is lost.

Who's in control of the narrative, and why are we listening to them?

There are other minor examples of this, too: Aranea is an exposition fairy, and she's biased as fuck and wrong ALL THE TIME about her own teammates. Karkat's explanations and rationalizations are constantly tinged with his own self-loathing and self-blame. Sollux and Meulin are both prophets as per their Mage class, but are both so bogged down by their own emotional issues that the futures they pick out are actively harmful. So on and so on. At nearly every turn, you have to interrogate who's telling the story, what their motivations are, and what they're overlooking or deliberately obfuscating.

So given that this theme is so prevalent, and so thoroughly weighted toward "well, actually, maybe you shouldn't take narration at face value and should interrogate it and come to your own conclusions," it would be Really Weird for the story to go "actually, you can totally trust the narrative now because everyone gets a happy ending".

So, I know that it makes me sound like a conspiracy theorist, but here's my genuine take on Homestuck's ending:

The ending is shitty on purpose because the viewer is intended to take it as a dare to refute the narration and make something better.

Why are we letting character!Hussie tell the story? He's a biased idiot. Why are we letting the various avatars of LE and Caliborn tell the story? They're fascist, misogynistic, predatory assholes.

And - because Homestuck is a story about life - why are we letting idiots, assholes, abusers, and creeps dictate the story of real life? The world is full of forces that would try to take control of the story and make everyone else play along, represented in microcosm within the text of Homestuck. We cannot let those forces win.

So please go out and do something kind and hopeful and loving in the world today. Thanks for reading.

FINALLY MADE HIM A FULL BODY

[the-irrelevant-trumpeter]

anyway. question for mischief fans. if i made a sideblog specifically as an archival system and information point on cornley lore. would you guys be into that.

[lukaka-arte]

(Seeing new Affection Systems Leaks from Cookie Run Kingdom.)

Burning Spice Cookie: Humans granted me my powers, yes, it all began because of them.

Me: Hahaha! Ahhaha! Humans.

Mystic Flour Cookie: The only human who practiced magic in ancient times, granted me my power.

Me: Ah! Hahahah! Yes! A Human— A HUMAN?!

///

I don't think you guys understand the lore drop this leak revealed.

It's not humanS, is HUMAN

IN SINGULAR

LIKE WHAT?!

Are you telling me the Beasts are as old as, probably, the FIRST WITCH/WIZARD TO EVER EXIST?!

THIS IS LORE DROP RIGHT THERE—

Or maybe they were baked by different witches? And only convergentes as a group much later?!

THERE ARE MANY POSSIBILITIES!!!

But if it IS the first option, then that means that the ability to magic was only made "general" AFTER the creation of the Beasts. After all, they ARE the first cookies baked (in CRK Lore)

(oh my god this is so good for my dearest First Yeast Cookie)
