“i can excuse biphobia but i draw the line at hating men”
like no the problem with intra community biphobia is that people are denying bi people’s queerness n shit not that they’re being mean about straight men (who are in fact the biggest source of biphobic abuse)
and the stuff about trans men like….
why do ppl use trans men so much as a shield for cis men…..
idk but to me it seems way more likely that queer ppl who “hate men” but are mostly ok with trans men just trust them more because of the additional axis of oppression and inherently different relationship to gender (which doesn’t mean trans men can’t be as shit ans cis men but like personally i’m more inclined to give them more of a chance teehee) (doesn’t mean there’s also transphobia to it sometimes but that doesn’t contradict my point it’s just something else)
men are an oppressive class !!! i don’t care if every single man in your life is wonderful or you’re a man who supports women in any way he can you’re still part of this oppressive class. doesn’t mean you’re inherently evil or whatever but oppressed people hating their oppressors is fine !!!!!!!

I’ve been playing a lot of small indie games and god I wish the rest of the game industry understood that the whole point of farming and grinding is so that in some point of the journey the player can go HAHAHA I PLANNED FOR THIS and pull off crazy crap earlier than they should be able to. Like Teenage Exocolonist letting me just walk past all the checks when I’m outside the colony and go to the boss immediately because I farmed the fuck out of my perception skill should technically be game ruining but it’s not. I planned for this so I could get the ascension ending easily while simultaneously putting the rest of my effort into figuring out as much about engineering as possible at the same time so I can pull off a full shield run. Having advantages in certain contexts should allow me to interact with it in a way that opens an entirely new path for me to take. Poisoning the campfire survivors at the very beginning of my Inscryption run lets me take a route where I focus on building up the cards I already have instead of hunting down new ones. Advantages are good!! Grinding so you’re high enough level to beat one boss only for the rest of the game to balance itself by making everything else many levels higher than you once again is unrewarding. If your player cannot face your game from multiple angles then maybe it’s not that worth exploring. If your player over relies on an ability they spent a long time working up and they’ve made the game too easy make it so that steers them into a new situation where they have to innovate on their strategy to get things going again. Just hand me a game like Inscryption where I farm the whole game with fecundity decks and then get to Kaycee’s Mod and realize I have to relearn the whole game from a completely new perspective now that I can’t rely on that anymore. If it’s just a matter of “the numbers are too high we have to turn all the other numbers up too” then do the numbers really mean anything anymore or are you just keeping me stuck in a role where I’m saying to myself “once I have the advantage I’ll be able to explore so many new things” but then never letting me have any advantage until near the end when the world has lost its charm because everything is just a damn numbers game.

Yo this is super random I know so don’t feel pressured to answer or anything. But I used to be active in the homestuck community and now I’m sort of getting back into it but I don’t really have any friends in the community anymore and tbh u seem cool so I wanted to ask if you have like a discord server or something? I know it’s stupid to do this anonymously but my tumblr is associated with homestuck content and I don’t want people to see that? Just if you were to post this Originally I wanted to msg you on Twitter but I somehow can’t
Jesus I seem like a creep I swear I’m not but yeah I’m rambling and now that I think about it I could have send you a private message but In my head that would be even creepier? Idk mb I swear I’m not weird
All chill man, haha. There’s no need to feel nervous I seriously don’t give a shit as a guy who is also a relentless rambler.
No I don’t have a server or anything (I’m a pretty small account (I think)) unless you count the one with like… 5 people on it who are all my close friends. I am on Borzoi’s DirkJake server but I’m only active quite sporadically.
I opened up my DMs on Twitter (didn’t realise they were closed. Whoops) if you are interested in hitting me up there for conversation about Homestuck or something. I warn you though I am 100% awful at DMs and everyone can attest to this.

couldn’t sleep last night from thinking isn’t it crazy how the one ep cover art represents all 3 songs together ??
⚠️Warning : I’m just yapping , not really a musical theory craftsman (lyrical and technical sense) just pointing out the visuals of the cover only
Thread the needle
The well…needles the art style of it looks like cross hatching and (maybe it’s just me) if you squint it looks like needlework, purposely made to look like it’s made of stitches (i think).
Furthermore the title is also an idiom to which I discovered recently “to skillfully navigate through a difficult conflict” or “To manage to find harmony or strike a balance between conflicting forces, interests, etc.”
If you want this, truly want this ... the consequences of our journey will be ugly and difficult , a balancing act
When the bough breaks
A bough is a main branch of a tree *cough* apparently it’s not a bowl my mistake *cough* from a tree of Sakura flowers !
I remember somewhere they are a symbol of the life and death cycle… for the Victorian era language of flowers it’s new beginnings oh…oh I’m sure, personal interpretation could be that this is the first line of their discography from the band or you could say…the first offering to a new life of worship
The other meaning is optimism, I doubt putting it here at first cuz idk what type of optimism could this be referred to until last night ahh …maybe it’s the twisted kind, where offering himself to sleep means this new relationship would work out this time after going, through so much pain in your past life maybe…just maybe this new life would give you something to feel like you’re worth it for once
Field of Elation
All we have are pieces of dandelions, not the whole flower. It probs doesn’t mean anything
but symbolically from the Japanese language of flowers or hanakotoba sincere love, oracle of love, happiness, and separation in english vers it’s resilience hope and healing (forgive me if these flower symbolisms aren’t 100% right). Dandelions can mean freedom too, ppl blow dandelions to make wishes make that what you will
I had a few messy writing from my first raw thoughts to the ep for the first time in the early start of march, that it means a different land of great happiness and exhilaration a symbol of escape, I also wrote separation—> vessel giving up his humanity to fully give in starting his worship to sleep but the fields of elation thing works just as well
What’s my conclusion?
I just wanna point it out there’s no meaning I’m not sane for the language of flowers and it all went down hill
