#Out-of-character-replies

[tribesofthearchcrystal]

Hello there, Welcome to the 4 tribes of the Arch Crystal 💎

you might have not heard of me, so let me introduce myself. I am Dr. Esposito and I’m a scientist solo-studying the beauty of the fae-wild. That’s all I’m going to say about myself for anonymity reasons (I’m already in hot water with multiple governments) but I’m more than willing to share my experiences and stories with all of you~Dr. Esposito March/1/1968

{this is a Clan-gen style ask blog and one I’ve been working for a while now and really want to share with the rest of tumblr. I’m using the free version because my laptop wasn’t compatible with the full version :( but hopefully I can still make an interesting story with it}-🩵🧚

nothing but respect for our troops (smut writers) but listen. i dont want to be the person to tell you this, but not every character is going to be a dom or a sub. some people. and i know this is hard to hear. but some people do have vanilla sex. and some of those people might even be The Character.

Why is he kinda...

These two asks were right next to each other, and I think that’s beautiful

Dinner time! 🔪

Lucian is actually knows how to cook. He was poor most of his life so he mostly cooked simple dishes (or very specific ones). In recent years, he could afford to completely relax and hardly cook at all, so now any complex recipe leads to disaster (and drama).

Holy shit I love your Dirk interpretations, it's so true and I could talk about this shit forever. I feel like another part of his character that people seem to forget (along with Roxy for some reason) is that he's from the future in solitude in an apocalyptic wasteland. I just see that part of his character always removed which is disappointing because I feel like that's a pretty big part, especially regarding his themes around technology, his brother's theme of Time, his own isolation, and how he plays in the vastness of the universe and spacetime.

Art I drew related to the subject because I like to respond to asks with art.

But absolutely. I certainly understand where the lack of discussion over his isolation + upbringing comes from, considering a majority of the fanbase that I have seen builds their ideas based on their own version of postcanon. I’m not entirely sure how that would be fixed, but certainly even in the somewhat recent past I would see a lot more content regarding his upbringing both literally and symbolically. I don’t have much to add regarding the things you’ve mentioned, because they just are what they are. Dirk being confined to a singular room left to him by a father figure he never met, in a future where the only other person left on the planet is someone he cannot pursue a relationship of because of himself, with purely 3 robots to keep him companion, one being an exact replica of his own brain who is *also* trapped inside a pair of glasses, is about as literal as it gets to me.

The contrast to me involving the flooded, organic world in comparison to the little speckle of Dirk’s apartment packed with the dude and his technics is not only a representation of his isolation and entrapment within himself, but also of his lack of control. I think his obsession with & themes of control are a direct product in the case of Dirk specifically *of* this kind of upbringing. His themes of technology are also related to his themes around control. So much of his character is actually revolved around this to me like so much. Dirk is so deeply disconnected from humanity in every way and so much of his character + symbolism is based around that.

It doesn’t even have to be about the symbolism or anything though. It’s just pretty *interesting* in the literal sense that he lives in the middle of the ocean in the future. There’s not only a lot to theorise on to do with his young life there, but on how it might affect him in the way he acts for the rest of his life. The latter part is probably what I see mentioned the most by people talking about Dirk regarding this, I’m surprised I don’t see more discussion on the former too though. I really ought to actually talk more about Homestuck stuff on here. I will do it myself.

Roxy & Dirk’s relationship is largely ignored though because there is a narrative a certain demographic spreads that Dirk resented and blamed Roxy for her interest in him, and thus too many people believe that their relationship was or would continue to be an abusive one. Realistically, I believe it’s important to acknowledge that the way Roxy treated Dirk regarding his homosexuality wasn’t right while still acknowledging the obvious amount of respect and admiration Dirk had for Roxy. I mean we have a huge piece of dialogue from their post trickster mode conversations on the quest beds from Dirk purely stating how he feels about Roxy that people completely ignore somehow. I think this usually happens to characters that are women though. I know everyone says it, but it is true. Jane gets the exact same treatment of boiling her down to solely her negative aspects. The things I see completely mischaracterising both of them are horrific.

I mean how much more explicit can it get that their relationship is obviously very important to Dirk? But I digress. I think the best or I should say “most interesting” interpretations of their relationship usually come from DirkRoxy shippers actually.

I would be interested to hear about Dirk’s relation to his brother’s theme of time though. I don’t have any thoughts on this and I don’t recall ever hearing anyone talk about it before. If you or anyone else would be willing to enlighten me I’d be thrilled.

What if I redesigned some horses to fit MY favorite narrative trope: fallen gods and forgotten myths of old? Anyways.

Twilight’s mentor is a strange one. In a world of twilit planes forever shrouded in mystery, the older unicorn Lest and her adopted student Twilight are one in many common travelers, migrating the pitted wastelands and eeking survival within settlements that spring up around the glowing meteor shards. Despite living with Lest for the last four years, Twilight can’t help but seek answers to where her brother has gone— and in the process, perhaps dig a bit too deeply into the complexities of gods far older and dangerous then she can truly fathom.

On the otherhand, Celestia “Lest” Sol is having a terrible millenium. Her sister is no longer her sister, her student teleported herself halfway across the continent, and she got herself kidnapped by an old rival trying to attune with the elements of harmony to overthrow the current ruler of Equestria.

At least she gets a toxic yuri moment.

Meanwhile, Chrysalis is having a great time. She’s got kingdoms to conquer and people to feed and a waning god to taunt.

(The Selene Grace hates the sun monarch they deposed five centuries ago as they stay chained to their post, keeping the lunar and solar bodies from crashing into each other. Luna misses her sister, and the easier world where they haven’t hurt each other beyond reparation. Nightmare Moon misses their monstrosity, trapped in a host who’s grief has poisoned them with empathy.

Things are bound to tip. The celestial bodies are not bodies, but prisons, and the amalgamations we call alicorns the key. And something desperately wants to be freed…)

Anyways:

My mane 6 redesign here!

And my luna and celestia redesigns here!

What’s the best way to read comics (assuming you want to buy them and not pirate)? Buying collections/omnibuses? Or individual issues? Or the DC infinite subscription thing maybe? If it’s any current run obviously the local comic shop would have them or could pull order them, but what if you want something that’s not from the last 12 months? What do you think?

Oh man it’s really so subjective tbh, personally I love collecting physical comics but that adds up very very quickly. Omnibuses are great and are cheaper than buying every individual comic for a run (most of the time) and are a bit easier for early readers to keep track of stories that may be told through multiple different comic book runs.

The most budget friendly option is sailing the seven seas but DC Infinite is definitely the most budget friendly option with payment involved. There are some issues I have with the site like some comics being locked behind the Ultra paywall for seemingly no reason or comics not visible until 6 months after they’re released (you can still read them the week they come out but after that you gotta wait. It’s an incentive for you to buy a physical copy).

If you don’t want something from the last 12 months, all options you’ve said are great! If you truly want to just read one comic run then you may have to order it online, I don’t think I’ve ever collected an entire comic run from just one comic shop, for comic shops you gotta have a “it would be cool if I found ___” mentality. As you’ve said, you can ask your shop and they might be able to order you the entire run if you wish!

I hope at least some of this helps it feels like I was mostly just throwing words at the wall, happy comic reading!!
