that post that’s like “tumblr users will call anything they don’t like puritanism/purity culture” always makes me laugh because it’s so true but it also reminds me of when people on here were getting anons saying the only reason they don’t like j7 and see it as unhealthily maternal is because of purity culture like girl WHAT. imo if you like a ship with a fucked up dynamic you should be leaning into it instead of pretending it doesn’t exist at all

i finally finished crystallized

ngl everyone was being extremely overdramatic the ending was fine, the only things that bothered me were harumi and Lloyd’s oni form but other than that it’s fine

idk where to even go in a conversation if somebody reads the serendipity gospels n feels like it has a “tenuous” connection to harrow the ninth tbh. like truly u can interpret art however you want but like clearly we had such different experiences reading those two stories that like. we’re not gonna have a productive conversation abt it lol.

anyway like to me. i think the thing is like. of course the locked tomb is not Based on homestuck (altho i know ppl do tend to claim that and also i think the idea of ‘based on’ vs ‘referential to’ is a pretty semantic distinction in this context) and i understand why leaning too heavily on this kind of undermines the original storytelling that occurs in TLT. i guess for me the point where i start at is the idea that a lot of fic writers at the time who were writing non-sgrub aus were playing in a space where they were interested in some of the ideas tossed out but never explored by homestuck way more than like. the actual text or themes of the comic itself. so when i say that i thinn TLT is reflective of that milleu i am speaking more abt ideas and themes: what it means to not fit into society, what it means to love somebody in a way that society can’t accept, what it means to be broken and unfixable

i don’t think the locked tomb is “about” homestuck but i do think it means something that homestuck was the last fandom tmuir was publicly writing for before gtn got picked up and i do think there are a lot of pieces of the ideas that the homestuck fandom space at large was interested in contained within the narrative of the locked tomb. and i don’t think talking about that stuff discredits TLT as an original work or means that everything about the story is derivative because i do think so much of what she was writing abt in fic at the time was wholly original and more just based on a vibe

While I do find it funny that henchmen in Gotham probably warn each other about the Red Hood because he's a bat who will actually kill you. I think it would be better if Jason was actually seen as some sort of savior or idol to like 90% of the goons scattered around Gotham. Doesn't matter who they work for, they all know Jason, former crime-lord that took over majority of Gotham's underground in one night.

---

Jason, years after the events of UTRH, now fighting crime alongside the batfam, except every goon he runs into immediately recognizes him, stops fighting, and starts begging.

the first time it happens, Jason assumes they're begging for their lives only to hear them begging for him to return to the crime lord business so they can work for him and not Gotham's current money-stingy, abusive rogues (Black Mask lol)

---

Jason showing up to patrol as backup for Dick in an overrun warehouse full of Two-Face's henchmen and as Jason's about to interfere, one of the men stops dead in their tracks and stares really hard at Jason until:

Goon: Oh my God, boss, is that you?

Jason, pulling out his guns, about to shoot:

Goon: Mr. Hood, sir???

Jason, halfway about to pull the trigger: Wait a min–Jeremy? Oh wow, it's been ages! How's the wife?

Goon (Jeremy): Oh my God it IS you, holy shit where have you BEEN? Me and the guys miss you, man!

Dick, with a knife at his throat: What is happening right now

Jason: Ahh, well, crime-lording just wasn't fitting in on the daily schedule. Tryna turn over a new leaf and all that

Goon (Jeremy): Aw, that's disappointing. We really liked working for you, right guys?

[Chorus of enthusiastic "YEAHS" from the rest of the henchmen (even the one holding Dick at knifepoint)]

Goon (Jeremy): Well, anyways, I can't beat you up knowing you're my old boss! You gave us the best health benefits! We'll just let you take the evidence and leave.

Jason: Aw, thanks guys :)

---

And that's why 95% percent of Jason's missions in Gotham end in success. Not because he's willing to kill people or because rogues are terrified of him, but because 90% of the rogues' henchmen once worked for Jason and fuckin love him lol.

i fucking hate the phillies fans on twitter my fucking goddddddd get a life!!!!! some dignity, at least!!!!!!!!!!

I was telling my dad about ao3 and he asked "But why would anyone do it if they're not being paid?" And that genuinely makes me so sad. The fact that the majority of people are told things are only worth doing if there is financial gain in it. Oh you're an artist? Artists don't make any money.

Sometimes the point isn't money. Sometimes it's just to create.

I love this photo because this was Aziraphale's reaction after the priest lady interrupted Crowley pinning him to a wall. And he seems bothered by it
