#I NEED A FAIR AND JUST ANSWER

I’ve read the rules! o7

Sai i need to know. Did he even read the book angel gave them. I know he wasn’t reading it when angel texted them if we chose to not invite him over but did he read even the few pages they looked at

or was he just… buying time to think of things/wanted to look like he was interested in the book when they really weren’t

TRUST ME this is VERY important knowledge and no matter what you say i will only like him more 🫶

✦゜ANSWERED: He did not T_T lmaooooo

Realistically, he probably put it back on the shelf the moment Elanor arrived ^^; Part of me wants to say that he hid it somewhere amongst the shelves (because Angel touched this book... Their hands and eyes graced the cover... No one else deserves the luxury of touching it as well...), but I think he'd be too overwhelmed with Angel finally noticing him to give it much thought.

Ren had no interest in reading the book either, but he did pick a "flora" theme for a very specific reason — as opposed to stalling/trying to buy time..... >:3c

Without spoiling too much, it's the same reason why he sometimes comes across as clumsy (with his words) during conversations, talks a lot about AoG, lives in a stupidly expensive and gaudy apartment, stole another person's nickname and made it his own, sometimes comes across as pushy, mimicked another character's exact line, gave Angel a high-end luxury gift, and why the "X I V" clips in his hair correlate to specific letters in the— *I am forcefully removed from the stage*

The phrase "thank you for being both amazing actors and amazing people" is written across most of the images one word at a time, except for the two images in the middle. The middle images are of William Shatner, reading "not you!" and Robert Beltran, reading "or you for that matter".

hi. i just read the last chapter of your fic went blind last year and HOLY FUCK it is so good. i get it if you don’t want to like spoil things about your fic but i have many many questions and thoughts so im just gonna write a bunch of them.

the whole thing with like. dirk tapping into ultimate dirk and part of canon and then being shoved out? and then kind of realizing that he is a small part of something very big and wanting to be a bigger part of it, and then getting orange eyes representing a stronger connection to dirk-ness? fascinating. and is daves eyes turning red then symbolic of him becoming closer to dave-ness? and speaking of that- dante??? great character, very interesting. is he like somehow a version of dave? and what was he talking about on the swings? is he also in some sort of a loop? and what was it that dirk did at the end of chapter four? he did something with the sword, right, did he make dante decapitate him and then somehow come back to life?

and hal. and cal! holy shit, i can’t believe it but you kind of made me LIKE cal somehow? in the sense that he can be violent and outrageous and insane and vengeful when dirk can’t and its kind of cathartic.

its interesting to see where things stay the same as in canon and where they dont. like dave has chat logs with rose in 2014 and 2015? but hes only fourteen. so he’s technically both older and younger than he is at the beginning of homestuck. and dirk was like 13 in 1997, which is about when daves meteor should have dropped? but did they come with the meteors at all, in this world? dirk came with lil cal on his meteor in canon, but here he got him when he was 12. but dave still seems to be somewhat in touch with his time powers, and dirk with his heart powers, so some things carried over from the game?

god. this is all so fascinating and good. i will be probably rereading the fic and eating drywall until a new chapter comes out. you are an amazing writer.

wahhh thank you very much! for what it's worth i too have been thinking a lot about went blind last year. glances at the +50k word txt document of story notes and wip chapters. so i do love getting to talk about it even if working on it is very slow at the moment! i will put this under a readmore cos i got carried away but

there's a lot of things i don't want to spoil yet yes... but i think i've laid enough of the groundwork that these things won't feel terribly out of place within the story.

one thing i do feel comfortable in divulging is that any connections to canon are deliberately tenuous... how far can a character diverge from canon while still being understood as fitting the mold for that character? when a character is deliberately obscured, how much does fanon interpretation impact what feels in-character?

when you read fanfiction or fancomics or whatever kind of work about a specific character, your mind creates a superposition of the character as they exist in the original work and the character as they exist in the fanwork. as long as the "shape" of the character in the fanwork doesn't stick out too much from your perception of the canon "shape", you can accept that character--as written by someone else--as the same as in canon. some of the choices i have made are deliberately contradictory to the text of homestuck the webcomic. i have made these choices in order to tell the story i want to tell. even so, the basis for the characters in wbly are understood to be the same as in homestuck, creating an expectation for what these characters will act like, what their baseline is, and how you as a reader approach them. your feelings about cal changing within the context of wbly is an interesting case of this in my mind--the cal within wbly is presumably still close enough to canon that you can call it the same character, but the role of cal is changed enough that your impression of him is changed. that kind of thing is FASCINATING to me.

the reason wbly would not work as an independent work is the same as why the homestuck epilogues do not work without the pre-existing fandom of homestuck: there need to be expectations for these characters and relationships in order for me to challenge those expectations.

another thing i will divulge is that went blind last year is not the full title of the story in my mind--i won't tell the full one, but it does tie into just about every conflict in the story.

thank you again for reading my overly complicated fanfic! hopefully you'll stick around even if it'll take me a lot longer than expected to complete. if not, that's fine too.

also every time i send updates to my friend i get lamentations so you know stuffs going great

looking in dc femslash tags that by all accounts have a lot of interaction and basis in canon but theyre all empty or exclusively full of 10 note screenshots and cameos in group fanarts

Can you please do a cassie w number 9? I luv ur artwork!! <3

Can I draw Cassie? Well it would be my absolute pleasure to!! 💫 ✨

Been so long since I’ve drawn my girl, thank you for the request!

Tbh the best part of drawing Cassie for me is that I can just go ham with her costume each time-I’ve always played fast and loose with her costumes when I’ve drawn her in the past and it’s always a fun part of the design/creative process whenever I get the chance to draw her-get to stretch the ol’ costume designing muscles and have a blast!

And thank you for such the kind words anon, I’m so pleased you enjoy my work-I hope you like this piece as well!

(And if anyones interested-here is the palette challenge piece I did of Cassie last year!)

I think the most depressing thing that’s happened in my life over the past couple of months is watching an otherwise intelligent friend descend into paranoia and conspiracy. maybe ex friend now, because I don’t feel all that inclined to talk to him these days, but it’s still sad to be a bystander to this who can’t help even if you try to intervene.

is there a long queue for this blog or do you pick and choose whichever asks you want to answer and delete/ignore the rest? this isn't meant to be accusative this is /genq /lh because i think the ask i sent a while ago was never answered and I'm not sure if it didn't get received or what

It's just an incredibly long queue, mostly because my personal life situations make it hard for me to keep up with multiple posts per day. I think currently it's out for about three months? Which is unfortunate for people who want to see their post quickly, I know.

As consolation though, I do tell people that if they want their ask posted sooner rather than later, they can let me know and I'll bump it up in the queue! So if you send another ask about the one you want posted, I'll move it up for you ^^

Pete: Me? I'm straight, I loooove women. Oh hell yeah I do.

Claudia: Really? Because you seem to care a lot about what Steve, a Gay Man, thinks of you. Have you maybe, possibly, considered that you might also like men?

I am so glad to find your blog because as my gremlin brain need more BD1st generation contents outside of character x reader fics which I adore to the moon. I need someone who actually talk about their dynamics and posts. And your blog is very helpful in me writing for my OC who is primarily interacting with BD 1st generation due to plot and i for the love of God have difficulty how to wrap their conversation. I actually once again say thank you for writing that 17000 Takeomi post and how Wakui put him as a foil in Shinichiro. I have download it as pdf have make notes meanwhile I re read the manga chapters. Thank you so much. You are very big help ✨

I'm getting compliments in a such a little amount of time, I'm not going to survive

Seriously, thank you hjvbhvdjkl ☺

I'm very happy that what my little mind find and come up with can be helpful to other people. The fact you downloaded the Takeomi post is going to make me blush fr, it's such an honor (I don't consider it my best-done post but it's my lil pride still)

If you ever want to ask or discuss something about them (or TR in general), feel free to! I'd probably take some time to answer bc irl life love interfering with what I want to do but I'd gladly do it when I'd have the time!

Semi negative below the cut - 

Here's the thing like...fundamentally, what the majority of the US Tour 6 indicating that they believe "the wrong cat died" really shows to me is that the understanding of the show has been somewhat lost over the years.

This is no disrespect towards any of them, and I believe that joking about this subject is absolutely within an area of general fun and lightheartedness (we do it literally all the time), but at the end of the day it misses the point.
