HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JANE CROCKER THE GIRL EVER!!!!!!!!!

also happy birthday john ig

[idolistic]

Jane Crocker is a trans guy

everyone in homestuck is trans. if you get it you get it. most importantly, jane crocker is a trans guy. sorry i don’t make the rules. actually i do because i speak straight facts. jane crocker is so trans that frankly it’s sad, i am crying now. using he/him for him now (the poor lad). here’s why:

1. he did the “am i a misogynist for subconsciously wanting to be a guy? better become a HYPERFEM FEMINIST GIRLBOSS!!!”

2. jake was his gender envy. it showed through how jane wanted to have a relationship so fucking bad, bc if he can’t be a guy then the second best option is surrounding himself with masculinity. on a side note jake is at least nonbinary so this was bad for the both of them because it trapped them in cishet norms.

3. obviously, the mustaches. the hats.

4. the emotional instability and pettiness. as in, when you got gender dysphoria smacking you around subconsciously, you grasp for any external happiness you can control. so he would get majorly bummed out by the birthday and relationship drama.

5. i feel like the whole tiaratop thing was like... he already suppresses so much of himself, so being mega evil was just the next step. gender dysphoria makes you kind of hate everything around you because everything is gendered, so why not destroy it all and flex how strong you are?

i also really personally want jane to be trans because i think that the message would be SO FUCKING POWERFUL. a lot of trans guy eggs are in his position, where they compare themself to other trans and cis people who pass, and think, “i could never. im too feminine, my hips are too big, i got boobs, im too dorky, im not muscley enough, etc”. i really dislike the current narrative with jane being a xenophobic capitalist karen, but i think that it could actually work with jane realizing he’s trans because he’d have to work through all of the oppressive shit to actually transition.

imagine the representation!!! jane exploring his masculinity and how it fits in with his character and passions would be awesome, because a lot of his interests adon’t conform to the standards of toxic masculinity.

Shout out to all the Homestucks that did not forget that 4/13 is also Jane's birthday. An even bigger shout out to the few that did not forget that it is Nana's birthday as well. Anyway, Happy belated birthday to John Egbert, Jane Crocker, Jane Egbert and John Crocker~

[noveratus]

Happy homestuck day!

To celebrate, I decided to write my own idea of what I wish the epilogues/sequel would have been like. I tried to stick to only "canon" characters, but I did alter their personalities and backstories past the canon events. I hope you enjoy!

"A young man stands in his room. It so happens that today, the 7th of July 2007 is this young man's birthday. Though it was 13 years ago that he was given life, it is only today that he is given a name!

What will the name of this young man be?"

Tavros Crocker grew up hearing about the story of gods and heroes who, over a thousand years prior, created the entire universe and defeated an Undefeatable Demon known as Lord English. Most of the gods have disappeared, but the legends say that they are still alive somewhere in the universe, with the only known remaining hero being Jane Crocker, his mother and owner of the most influential company in the world. In his 15th birthday, he receives a mysterious message from a Troll claiming to be Vriska Serket. She tells him to get the "others" who he assumes to be the Legendary Heroes because Lord English is coming. 

Tavros proceeds to try to tell his mother, who immediately dismisses him, telling him it was likely someone lying and that she has no time for these child stories since she has an empire to run. Frustrated, he vents to his online friend, Harry Anderson, who shares an admiration for the heroes, except for Tavros' mother, who he believes to be evil. He immediately believes his friend's words and says they should run away from home to save the world together, also giving them a chance to meet in person for the first time. Tavros is reluctant at first, but upon being convinced by Harry that the fate of the universe is in their hands, he runs away from home much for his mother's horror. 

Harry Anderson lives on the other side of Earth C with his mothers, Roxy Anderson and Callie Anderson. Roxy helped Jane with her campaign, leading her to later regret her actions after seeing how far the woman would go, so with her wife's help, she became a thief who would steal from Crocker's business to give it to those who needed it the most. While Harry admires his mothers, he also somewhat resents them for not giving him the attention he wishes they did, even if they are ultimately supportive. 

He sees Tavros' message as an opportunity to perhaps get their attention while also saving the world, so he gathers his best friends from drama class, Avril Thorpe, Silas P Beauregard III and Imode Kurita, and leaves to rescue Tavros from his mother, stealing a spaceship in the process. They also end up being followed by Jane's 'personal hound,' tasked with bringing Tavros back home, Yiffany Longstocking. She acts as an antagonist to the group until being eventually convinced to help them save the world.

Eventually, they are also joined by Vriska "Vrissy" Maryam-Lalonde, the daughter of Kanaya and Rose. Vrissy wishes to see Earth instead of being with her mothers, and the group are the perfect excuse to escape. She also becomes their self proclaimed captain and has a romantic relationship with Harry.

In the 2000 years that passed, Roxy and Callie decided to continue on living hidden amongst humans and trolls. Jade and Dave have left the planet to find a way to extend Karkat's life span. Meanwhile, Rose and Kanaya spend their time exploring the universe, looking for another habitable planet along their daughter, Vrissy. Dirk and Jake have been training in a far off planet now populated by robots, awaiting English's arrival. Jane took control over Earth through her baking empire, controlling the geopolitical scenario with her son, Tavros, as well as Yiffany, a human-dog hybrid created to be as strong as Bec Noir using his dna as well. Terezi's fate is still unknown and Gamzee has somehow survived all this time and works under Jane. John is still on Earth, living all alone in a replica of his original home. 

John is the first adult the group finds and the only one who agrees to help, however, he decides to go find Terezi, imagining that the group can bring his friends around on their own.

 Dirk seems to believe the group at first until realizing who Tavros and Yiffany are. He believes that they were sent there by Jane to get Jake to return to Earth, banishing them from his planet before they can even talk to Jake. 

Jade and Dave have used their powers to create a bubble in which Karkat can exist despite how long it has been. The two of them refuse to help out of fear of what might happen to Karkat if they ever stopped concentrating. Dave does give Harry his sword, but says that is all he can do. 

Much like Dirk, Kanaya and Rose think that the children are being sent there by Jane, who was the reason they had to leave in the first place due to how she acted towards trolls, wanting to limit their reproduction. When they attempted to reach their friends, they all turned their backs on them for their own selfish reasons (except for Jade and Dave who had already left Earth with Karkat.) So now they travelled the cosmos looking for a place that trolls could live without prejudice. They refuse to help. 

Jane believes that Harry and the others have kidnapped her son, who she refuses to listen to, so they continue to try to escape her. 

Finally, Harry learns that his mother, Roxy, is in fact one of the gods of legend, however, he refuses to go to her for help since it would go against one of the very reasons why he went on this mission. He has an argument with Tavros, and the group splits up, with Harry and Vrissy going to a planet where life appears to have just started. As he walks through the primitive life forms, he tells his girlfriend that even if they did manage to convince his mother, there was no way she would be enough to defeat him, even with John. He doesn't want to lose him mom more than he already has. As they walk through the planet, they come across a frog temple with some mysterious writing that appears to be code. Harry recognizes this as what might be the code for SBURB, and he comes up with a new plan. He gets Tavros and the others to come to the planet, thinking he would apologize, but instead, he reveals his new plan: For them to become the gods. If they play the game and become gods and heroes, they can defeat English themselves. At first, there is reluctance, but Harry manages to convince Tavros who agrees and convinces the others. Tavros then makes the game using his programming skills, and they get ready to play it in the ship, not realizing what would happen to the planet if they did. 

Meanwhile, John finally returns with both Terezi and Vriska with him. He expects the group to have gathered their friends so they can all battle together, but is surprised to see no one there. He comes to Roxy to try and understand why, but she reveals surprise at this and that it is new information. It is too late, however, for all across the universe. Lord English's arrival is felt, and all the gods realize they made a huge mistake. At the same time that English arrives, the children start their game, starting a new session and destroying the world they find themselves in before it even has a chance to fully develop.

Like that, the past players are pulled back into the game, with seven new ones and a boss that is impossible to defeat.

happy birthday to my fellow john egbert kins! and also happy birthday to jane crocker kinnies!!

[thewebcomicsreview]

It’s Homestuck’s birthday, which means another Homestuck 2 update.

Man, trying to have something exciting for Homestuck fans happen on 4/13 has been really slick marketing, because it gets everyone excited and you see an increase in fanart. I couldn’t tell you what, say, Penny Arcade or Gunnerkrigg Court’s anniversaries were, but every Homestuck fan knows the importance of 413 because it’s built into the story itself.

Anyway, here’s Janey, and here’s Jake wearing a shirt that you can either buy now or will be able to buy soon. Marketing.

JANE: Assassinations, open warfare, so-called "revolution," and where has everyone gone? JANE: They've ABANDONED me. They've taken our precious son. And now...

That’s not really true, Jane. Your friends haven’t abandoned you while people try to kill you! Your friends are also actively trying to kill you! 

It’s a decent joke, but how the hell are Steven King novels even a thing on this planet? Maybe Rose had some.

DIRK: I'm slurping this shit up like it's a piping hot bowl of udon. DIRK: Itadakimasu.

Homestuck 2′s Dirk is dramatically more of a filthy fucking weeb than Dirk was in the original Homestuck, and that’s a high fucking bar.

JANE: Two can play at the hostage game. That loathsome daughter of theirs should fit the bill nicely. JANE: Then those naughty rebels will cease this unruly tantrum, and do what they are told.

This is another instance of Homestuck 2 sanding down the whole “civil war” thing that I didn’t even think about until they called attention to it. Vrissy is not only a member of the rebellion, her adoptive parents are commanders who the God-Empress of Mankind personally hates, and she just kind of casually went to human high school with her only concern being the dead clown and apparently she is only now in any danger.

Oh, this is cool! A wide panel with two separate dialogs underneath! I had to admit I was kind of hoping for an anniversary [S], but I’m happy with a twist on the standard format. It looks nicer than the x2 updates from Homestuck 1, too.

VRISKA: 8ecause there's no way I'm saying Harry Anderson every time. That's like... 8 whole letters too long. VRISKA: From now on your name is just Harry. HARRY: o... k?

Hm. First Vriska Classic renames the new Vriska to Vrissy, and now Harry Anderson has been demoted to Harry. I sense a pattern, and suspect “Tavros Crocker” will not be called such much longer. 

Also, stealing people’s names like that seems very Thief of Light-y, but let’s not get into that just now, even if the last update hinted at a connection between Harry and Heart, which is all about identity. I’m doing this liveblog during my lunch break no time for classpect shit.

VRISKA: If I had to 8et, I'd say you're the thing that pup8ed after a 8ar8aric act of human sexual intercourse 8etween John and some Lalonde or other. HARRY: ok. HARRY: ew.

Hm. Vriska knows Harry’s last name is Egbert, but it’s interesting that she assumes his mom is a Lalonde and not one of the literal planet full of human women, but no one in Homestuck seems to care about the NPC humans so it’s a safe bet. Also I don’t like how hard we’re pushing the line that Harry came out of a person’s vagina and not some slime. I’m suspish.

VRISKA: There WERE no humans on Alternia, okay? There were no humans, and no human "musicals", in my entire UNIVERSE. HARRY: it sounds like a horrible place. ): VRISKA: Yeah, it 8lew so un8elieva8ly hard.

Heh.

But now he's not so sure. Ever since hearing that one of his dad's old friends had turned up, that border between past and present has felt fainter by the minute. And as they talk, he begins to think that Vriska seems so much... fresher. More real. An actual, authentic, bona fide god from another universe. Harry can’t imagine his dad even talking to someone like her, let alone punching her in the face.

One of those file-it-away-for-later moments, but Harry is able to sense that the canon Vriska is “more real” than his dad. 

HARRY: right now i'm in my mom's house with my girlfriend, her boyfriend, and another god damn version of my girlfriend, and all of us are probably now on the run from the fucking GOVERNMENT!!!!

Though he also seems to think Vriska Serket and Vrissy Maryam-Lalonde are alternate versions of each other, which is actually not true, both literally and personalityways.

Harry is not even able to mention the thing he was about to mention, because at this exact moment his phone starts ringing.

BECAUSE JELLICLES CAN AND JEEEEEEELLICLES DO JELLICLES DO AND JELLICLES CAN JELLICLES CAN AND JEEEEEELLICLES

HARRY: oh fuck.

I think Harry Egbert has the worst taste of anyone in his family and that’s a high fucking bar

VRISSY: It's Something about the W8y she Looks at him. VRISSY: The Rest of us too. VRISSY: Like we're not even Real. TAVROS: Yes,, this is good, VRISSY: Ever since she showed up, it's 8een o8vious that Nothing Here M8tters to her.

Another, much more obvious reference to the realness attribute of Candyland. 

VRISSY: I'm not worried a8out Harry Fucking 8nderson right now! VRISSY: Hell, I'm so Unconcerned that I think I'm going to start just calling him Harry from now on! It'll Save Everyone a lot of Valua8le Time! VRISSY: Listen Tavros, Vriska will get 8ored of Harry in a Heart8eat! VRISSY: That's the whole point!!!!!!!! VRISSY: She shouldn't 8e w8sting her Time on someone like Him! VRISSY: SHE SHOULD BE T8LKING T8 ME!!!!!!!!

That both Vriskas decide separately to demote Harry Anderson to Harry is a funny gag. Also, between this and the start of the conversation where Vrissy was obsessed with how she appeared on social media, someone needs to be the most important person in the room at all times, which is a trait both Vriska’s have in common with each other, and also in a way with Aranea, so there’s perhaps a classpect aspect to this but we don’t have time for that! 

JOHN: HELLO SON! JOHN: I AM JOHN: SO JOHN: VERY JOHN: PROUD OF YOU!!!!!!!!

There it is

JOHN: heh. two vriskas is NOTHING. JOHN: when i was your age i lost count of all the vriskas i had to keep track of. JOHN: it was probably some preposterous number.

I’m pretty sure John never encountered any alternative-timeline Vriskas in Homestuck.

Hey, it’s Rose and Kanaya!

Individually, they each represent immeasurable gains for the rebel faction. The rebellion's stratagems have never had a fiercer bite; their uniforms have never looked so fucking sharp.  But it is together, united, that their true strength is made apparent. Their bond, a union of love between troll and human, is not only a foundation for the rebel cause, but an integral symbol of its purpose.    

D’aw

ROSE: I don't understand what's going on any more than you do, and I'm sorry. ROSE: I'm sorry!

Rose panicking like this feels....weird?

I like the detail of Jade’s pawprint gloves. Also, she seems to have gained a headband as Rose lost hers. Only one hair accessory allowed in this comic, this ain’t no fucking Touhou.

JADE: THEYVE TAKEN YIFFY!!!!!!! D:

Oh thank Christ, no one knows what the fuck Jade is talking about. For a minute there I thought we were about to learn Jade and Dave had a daughter named Yiffy and I was about to walk into the sea. 

[mirammon]
