Day 26 (30 Days | Homestuck - Day 12) - Favourite Matesprit Pairing (JohnDave)
"Sometimes, you simply enjoy listening to your boyfriend talk about what's on his mind as he lays his head on your lap. His hair is fluffy through your fingers, though you never expected to actually like running your hands through someone's hair.
"...you have no idea what he's rambling on about this time."
=Thoughts=
Drawing past midnight is not the best thing for future productivity, but it has a surprisingly positive effect on art...at least, while I'm not tired.
Two-figure drawing used to be a weaker point of mine, but at some point, I seemed to have figured out how to make interactions seem at least tangible and not two overlapping shapes. A lot of it comes from working with the sketch until the proportions feel right, then start drawing from there. Somehow, I didn't really need to mess with it much (though Dave's left leg looks a little weird; I've never quite figured out how to make that pose work naturally)
While the side angle's one I've practiced plenty, the "slightly angled down" face is one I've done less so. The angle itself I feel mostly confident with, but the position and angling of the ears is...a challenge. I think I'm getting better at it, but it was probably the biggest challenge (aside from Dave's hair, but it's become fun to draw~)
The speech bubble is in no way made for readability. I just aimed for the appearance of rambling.

breaking badifies them. happy pride motng
au elaboration under cut
this is just copypasted from twt i forgot to post yetsterday
I imagine that the Dirkjake dynamic would be down on his luck partyboy and the estranged high school friend that coerced him into a drug dealing operation. For reasons he refuses to elaborate on. Jake doesn't really want to be cooking meth but he needs the cash and sees Dirk as the one stable thing in his life really. Dirk really needs a partner and an in to the business and is most of the brains behind the operation.
Dirk is also doing a fair bit of posturing to keep them both safe but Jake... hooo Jake. Dear whining Jake will become a loose cannon when it counts. The power balance would fluctuate alluringly.
To be honest I imagine their dynamic would be much closer to a hypothetical high school au turned drug-dealing and wouldn't be much like Walter and Jesse. Wanna think there would be a happy ending but realistically they'd sink into their worst traits & probably end up in a saw trap by the end of it. I wanna imagine most plot beats still happen... gf dies... "gale" dies... Codependent yaoi and corruption arc flourishes.
I imagine Dirk's wardrobe would start to resemble more and more of Bro's and some of his personality might too. But I also don't think he'd go as far or be as bad as Walter, since here there's a care and concern for Jake as more than a pawn and stand-in (aka the Walter special). Damage would still be done though. The love didn't save anyone etc etc.
Bro and Grandpa would have a dynamic MUCH closer to the s1/2 duo. Devil-may-care stoner and the guy who needs cash FAST and doesn't have time for this shit. I dont think Bro has the tender heart Jesse but he definitely develops some terrible loyalty complex regardless. Honestly have a LOT less idea how their story would go so I'm all ears

as time goes on my interesting in shipping (for homestuck) (that's really the only fandom i'm in) has just gone down lower and lower because i used to see "shipping" as just "characters who were compatible in some way". for example i would look at karkat and feferi and be like "they didn't interact much but a lot was going on with the two of them in terms of their themes and how those themes intersect. and since romantic relationships are "more complex" or "better" or "more potent" than other relationships the natural progression is to ship them together romantically" but the stuff that would make them potentially interesting as a pairing isn't inherently romantic at all. and i feel like that goes for a lot of if not most of the characters. homestuck to me is way more centered on the idea of friendship (and family sometimes but moreso friendship) than romance and when characters have something important going on between them the interesting part is usually not inherently romantic
even the characters that start dating where their romantic attraction IS very important is based on their initial friendship..!! vrisrezi wouldn't be nearly as meaningful if they weren't friends first, same with dirkjake, etc. arasol is such a popular ship and they only dated once when they were 8 years old…. their relationship from that point on is SO important to who they are but it isn't even inherently romantic after the fact, but people see romance as the "natural progression" from there so clearly they "should" date once they get the chance to do so again. my point is i wish people would pay more attention to some of the non-romantic aspects of relationships in hs because i really think that's what takes center stage within the story most of the time (not ALL of the time of course there are definitely parts where romance is important. but you get what i'm saying)
and then of course to take that a step further and be even more of a hater i'm so tired of people taking stuff and putting it into a romantic context when it's entirely unnecessary…. i made a video with dave and karkat bickering and people tagged it as davekat for no reason. literally that post about dirk and john meeting each other that people kept tagging as dirkjohn for no reason. i'll make posts about the alpha kids being friends and doing stuff together and someone went through my entire blog tagging all of these as "alphacule" for no reason. i'll draw dirk and hal literally just looking at each other and someone will tag it as dirkhal. girl they're just looking at each other. seeing someone liveblog collide and they go "did anyone else think dirk and dave should've kissed >_<??" no i actually don't think they would do that. it's so dark in here

Hey since your requests are open, could you maybe draw Hal? Doing anything, I don't really care what (only if you want)
day 96
YES i actually got 2 thinking about hal today thanks to this post (and my tags even passed peer review yippee thank u) ANYWAY. in addition to all of that. I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT he and aradia would be friends.
ok i wrote all this out and it got long and kinda rambly bc im tired so im putting it under a cut lmao HALRADIA FRIENDSHIP RANT IN THE READMORE
i think there would be.... maybe a little tension given that aradia eventually ended up in Her Own Flesh And Blood Body and hal would presumably not have that option?
but overall i think after the way her friends treated her as a robot, and the experience of going from experiencing life as a living breathing organic person to a bodiless entity to HAVING a body but that body not being the same as the one you remember.... idk! it's like EXTREMELY EXTREMELY SPECIFIC AND MORE THAN A LITTLE TRAUMATIC and they could share it with each other!! how fucking lovely is that.
not to mention they both kind of have a history with equius?? (assuming this is post arquiusprite in some way. i certainly have an extremely self-indulgent "everyone lives" au for this scenario where they're able to safely separate into their pre-sprite components and then hal and aradia become buds.)
REGARDLESS i think it would be interesting for hal (who has ostensibly nothing but positive shit to say about his connection to equius) and aradia (who has some truly fucked things to say about her experiences with equius) to Talk Through All That.
not 2 mention the parallels that can be drawn between dirk/hal's perception of their relationship with jake being this kind of... Manipulative Pining Weirdness, and aradia being on the other side of somebody else's Manipulative Pining Weirdness and sharing that perspective without even knowing about all of that dirkjake backstory OUGH im tellin u it is all a very complex and wonderful scenario to consider and like, im not even much of an alpha kid aficionado tbh. hal experts chime in on the comments i know youre out there and i wanna hear your takes.
#day 96#year 5#aradia megido#lil hal#homestuck#im not kidding btw HAL ENJOYERS WHAT IS THE VIBE HERE#also to clarify i think hal's confusion is largely due to the. Hey How Did You Get A Flesh Body factor more than anything#aradia's situation is uhhhhh Strange

I hate dirkjohn
ok guys i hate dirkjohn. i hate it . so much. It's a shitty ship!!! I don't fw ship discourse unless jm hating on dirkjohn because it sucks. Dirk only likes john because he looks like Jake, plain and simple, I'm not going down a "oh golly johnathan egbertus ruined and got between my magnificent Dirkjake!!!!1!1!" path. Dirk strider only likes John Egbert because he looks like Jake english, Dirk simply has no care for John, Not himself as an individual, His hobbys, Johns personality, He only cares because he looks like Jake. Sure Dirk hates him near round Hs2 times but. He is a GREIVING man who MISSES his maletwinkboywife (joke obvi Jake english is the furthest from twink in the whole world) Dirk is so distraught over the breakup (Using distraught lightly.) that his next best option is to cling onto any lifeform that looks like Jake (ouh I LOVE mischaracterzaion) Dirk, Then continueing his shitty person antics tramples all over Johns bizz and fucks shit up MAJOR. but john feels like he has no choice cause who is he to leave his dear friend who is grieving his shit unemotionally available relationship that ended because his boyfriend ghosted him? Dirk dosent love John he loves the idea of being with someone who is Not quite Jake. But Close enough.

sorry if you dont take requests at all and of course ignore it if you don't but i would really love to see you draw dirkjake or brograndpa as cowboys. i would literally sob for you. /lh /pos
you know I heard a rumor going around that the Sheriff and the Judge were meeting after hours and rigging trials but I have it on pretty good authority that they actually don't even like each other
(of course I'd draw them as cow folk, though I used a looser definition of 'dressed')

How I personally see x-shippers in the Homestuck Fandom
Based on my perceptions, based on my opinions, based on my expiriences! :] Nothing directed to anyone in particular.
If you have x-ship as your OTP, this is how I see your "category" VERY generally, let's say.
Johnkat / Communism shippers
I don't even ship Johnkat, but y'all are the sweetest people out there?? The chillest people ever. Like, if they asked me with what shipper I would spend ten hours trip with, it'd be a Johnkat shipper.
Davejade / Spacetime shippers
LITERALLY the same as Johnkat, but y'all are also so fucking talented too?? Any art skill possible (traditional, digital, animation, 3D, paper puppet, etc) Y'ALL CAN DO THAT!!! How do y'all even exist!? 😭
(Btw, yes, you're chill too, but a lil less than Johnkat shippers)
Dirkjake / Pumpkin shippers
Annoying.
You're annoying.
There are two types of Pumpkin shippers though.
Type 1: less annoying. You like toxic yaoi, you recognize they're in a toxic relationship and I can respect you.
Type 2: "toxic yaoiiii 🤪🤪🤪" but when someone points out the actual toxicity of Dirkjake those shippers will come after their ass.
Rosekan / Rosemary shippers
Hard to find people who have Rosemary as primary ship, since they're established in canon, so people ship them in the background because it makes sense and they're actually a thing.
BUT I am convinced the primary Rosemary shippers aren't rare at all, I think they simply don't use socials as much as other HS fans. So they're normal, basically.
Solkat / MUTANT2 shippers
I won't count myself because 1- I'm not so pretentious, 2- I don't think I act like the average MUTANT2 shipper AT ALL!!!
The average: Some Dude™. Yes, even the girls act like Some Dude™.
Weirdly, most of them don't know Fandom culture that well. Maybe cuz they're all Some Dudes™.
Erifef / Make a wwis)( shippers
They do not deny what happened in the comic, they just ignore it. And somehow they are able to ignore it even when someone points out what happens in the comic.
"But Eridan killed Feferi." "Ok *not listening*"
Y'all are in a constant Zen State after years of meditation and acception, probably.
Nepfef / Octopussy shippers
"FLUFF FLUFF FLUFF FLUFF NOTHING BAD HAPPENED FLUFF FLUFF FUNNY 2000 MEME FLUFF"
"But Nepeta and Feferi died-"
"FLUFF FLUFF FLUFF FUNNY CAT RAINBOW VIDEO AH AH PUSSY FISH FLUFF FLUFF FLUFF"
Davekat shippers
No.
Go read the comic.
Karezi / Adorabloodthirsty(?) shippers
Y'all died??? I SUPPOSE you all were too annoyed with canon and Hussie to actually care to continue reading, or stay in the Fandom. Or I can't explain how y'all literally imploded and disappeared.
Daverose / Dersecest shippers
Same as Karezi, but I can see you every now and then reblog stuff, mostly due archive reasons.
Johnvris / Spider8reath shippers
Their personality is a mix between John and Vriska's. That's the only way I can explain it.
Equinep / Meowrails shippers
Same as Rosemary for the first part, but there are more people loving Meowrails as their OTP. And those fans usually are the sweet & respectful memes side. Their pages often feel like an Internet Checkpoint where to rest and see cute and mindlessly funny stuff for a moment.
Please, never leave the Fandom.
Some of y'all are dumb af tho.
Vrisrezi / Scourge sisters shippers
The ship isn't bad and it makes sense even, the shippers, on the other hand, have to chill the fuck out and actually read the comic and not only the second part of Act 6 or, worse, from the Epilogues and on.
Katnep / Katnip shippers
You all just wish the best for Nepeta. That's like your whole personality in the Fandom. Nepeta deserved a better treatment. The end.
Vrisfef / Spider8each shippers
Never met a Spider8each shipper who isn't obsessed with Spider8each like I'm obsessed with MUTANT2. You make EVERYTHING about them; every and all quadrants; every and all situations. You WILL scream "THEM!!!"
Any Dancestor x Dancestor shipper
You care too much about the Dancestors, but your real problem is that you're annoying. And probably also 15 too.
Any Ancestor x Ancestor shipper
You're a rare breed. A really special and important one. I love you. You're my parent now.
Summonfang / Summoning the 8ooty shippers
What I've said before, except that you're actually not my parent, but my annoying little cousin.
Spades Slick x Karkat / Bloodsworn shippers
I love you. If you exist (I've seen only a couple of people), just know that you're right, always, you're cooking, keep going, I love you. Also you make the sexiest scenarios.
Davejohn / Pepsicola shippers
Most normal people in the world. Not in the "chill person" way like Communism shippers or "Some Dude" way like MUTANT2 shippers.
You're normal. Average even. You could be called "annoying" at times, for making jokes like "red and blue = pepsicola ah ah", but it's just a joke you make sometimes, in the most normal way. You're normal. You're ok.
Beta OT4 shippers
I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EDIT: I apologize to DirkJake shippers. DaveShitKat shippers are definitely far far far far far far far far far far far more annoying.

— I love Dirkjake but whenever I think or read too deeply about them I start wanting to explode and cry and kill both of them. I don't even know what happened but I can't look at them anymore (or any of my favs in homestuck in fact) and not start going rancid and wanting to do things and die. I don't know what this means but I'll just take as a nice thing.

Ignore how bad it looks I didn't do this on my phone.

Having to physically and mentally restrain myself from going insane when someone says they don't like dirkjake because JAKE was mean to Dirk. THEIR RELATIONSHIP FAILED BECAUSE THEY BOTH WERE FUCKED UP.
Acting like Dirk was 100% a victim of Jake in their relationship is abysmal reading comprehension. They both fucked up. Do you hear me. It was both of their faults. Jake's got the very on brand "if I ignore my problems they'll go away" and therefore he failed to communicate to Dirk that he wanted more alone time, all while complaining to Jane all the time. Dirk was desperate for a relationship with Jake, and pushed for them to be into a relationship that they both were not ready for because he was and is incredibly lonely. Idk idk acting like Jake is more at fault or completely at fault for their breakup is kind of silly.
They're 16 year old, maladjusted, lonely children who had to raise themselves and developed vastly different ways to cope with that loneliness. They love each other but lack the skills to express it in a healthy way, both putting up a facade in fear that the friends they love so much will no longer want them if they showed their true selves, because they're messy and raw and care too much
Dirk thinks he's a monster who has to hold himself back otherwise hes bound to hurt people that he loves, and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy- he hurts someone and takes it as confirmation that he's evil, while Jake is terrified of disappointing people to the point that he refuses to acknowledge when there are problems in fear of being blamed, not wanting to bare responsibility for /anything/ both good and bad in case people expect too much of him and dislike him when he fails to measure up. This is bound to go wrong since neither of them can actually effectively communicate their needs.
#dirkjake#homestuck#to me theyre very much right person- wrong time#theyre not ready for a relationship when theyre in their teens. they haven't even really learned how to be around other people#they shouldn't have immediately gotten together when they first met in person#also people talk about how jake wasn't as enthusiastic about dirk as dirk was for him?? where#jake had an imaginary version of dirk living in his brain#that tended to show up around when their was a woman interested in him. and be a little bit of a nuisance.#idk that seeeems a bit gay to be#princess bride quote scene nonwithstanding#also iirc jake literally talks to jane about pursuing dirk with 0 input from shades boy himself#jake english homo homo gay moments!!!!#meta#homestuck meta#dirkjake meta#please stop woobifying the striders amen#and stop himbofying jake too while you're at it

I think after the events of Act 6, the character that makes the most sense to me for Dave to end up with is Jake. And I mean this in a CANON! IT FITS THE STORY AND THE CHARACTERS! Kind of way. Not just in a shippers be shipping kind of way. I think they would understand each other. They both would need to grow and mature a bit to make their relationship work, and I think they would care so much about making it work that they would.
Jake liked to travel around as grandpa harley. He liked to go explore, pilot ships, adventure. Dave seemed to like just keeping to himself, and do his own thing, join others sometimes. Jake and Dave would both go their separate ways and come back to each other like no time had even pasted by. They have this opposites attract thing about them but at the same time they are both actually sensitive. Maybe more like two sides of the same coin
I mean.. i guess??
I think i see the the "splitting and then coming back like no time has passed at all" applying moreso to John and Jake than it does Jake and Dave. Dave at heart seeks attention, and even if their bond is superficial at most, I can definitely see him going from "Idgaf about jake english" to "oops! i gaf about jake english" and feeling impacted when Jake starts ignoring him.
In all realness. it wouldnt work longterm. You said it, Dave just sort of likes keeping to himself and works best when someone is ordering him around to do things. Jake however is someone who needs to be constantly enriched by his surroundings to sustain interest, without it becoming too suffocating. When Jake realises Dave will just follow along with what Jakes doing without necessarily challenging or really adding to it, he'll get bored and ditch Dave, or try to aggravate Dave into leaving FOR him because god forbid he communicates.
Hence why Dirkjake technically "work" in the way that Dirk will continue to push Jake back and Jake will continue to bite back because if there's one thing that Dirk and Jake like it's conflict and combat on their own terms due to how engaging and direct it is.
Dave and Jake are both super immature and refuse to really change in my eyes. Like yes, they're aware of their flaws. But being self aware that you're a jackass doesn't always equal that you stop being a jackass. And I don't think they'd work longterm because they recognise the other person is intolerable and if there's anything Jake really fears its being seen as a person.
HOWEVER. There is I guess a silver lining? Ish? I'd see it as they'd feel comfortable telling the other deep secrets or personal reflections on their self through a haze of vices, not because they really trust the other or feel deeply connected, but because THEY DONT CARE WHAT THE OTHER THINKS OF THEM AT ALL. They are not really anything to each other. "The only reason i trust you with my secrets is because i dont care that much about what you have to say or what you do with it because youre just as bad as me and not in a way i pity you but i recognise my aspects in you and also youre not connected to my other friends in a way i care for. We could entertain each other but one of us is going to start biting and the others going to get hurt and thats fine."
Their asses are not fixing each other. They're aware they both suck. This means they're also aware the possibility of sustaining a relationship longterm is low. But there is some comfort, in people that look like your best friend but not really and with none of the quirks that resigns their best friends to the best friend role.
#borzoi meta#asks#borzoi talks#davejake#dave strider#jake english#they just wouldnt care longterm i just think#dave nad jake as people are too aggravating and concerned with themselves#to ever care about anyone “normally” longterm. also dave would lowkey piss jake off with his polit talk and kind of blunt behaviour#meanwhile jake would piss dave off because of how much he skirts things after a while.#or maybe itd enamour him i can see dave being enamoured by jake but dave will never be as interesting as dirk is to jake#its easy to fall into that “oh theyd care enough” but weve seen how jake cares and it doesnt work.#*gestures vaguely.#i still ship them though. theyre enabling each other man. thats good enough#homestuck#home2t4ck

Dropping my current obsession here... dirkhal <333
Hal ships as a whole are so good !!!!!!
After a meaningful character arc where Hal gets more comfortable with being an AI, a body becomes less of a priority for him. As a result, he trolls Dirk by making the most minor of changes to his requested body. By the time the finished model is complete, a decade has passed. Dirk pretends he is So Done, but nah. Its an enjoyable, low-urgency project for them.
On the other, much deader hand, Dirkhal + unwilling robotification go hand in hand. Dirk already struggles with his sense of self so much it may as well happen.
Fun canon divergence for this ship too! What if Hal somehow manages to kill the condense. What then? Humanity is still dead, but Dirk and Roxy don't have to live in fear for the first time. A slow-burn could just happen from there.
Not to bring Dirkjake too much into this, but I could totally see Hal using Dirk's feelings to get attention. "Hey, you should practise your upcoming Important Conversation with Jake with me first. I'm juuuuust like the real thing."
It'd be so cool if Dirk were to meet alternate Hals that were obsessed with him in a more overly romantic way. Building his own boyfriend would be the ultimate way to achieve his toxic need for control, at the risk of completely disconnecting himself from his humanity. The implications for his arc would be <3 TLDR I could write about 5 different character studies for them, and perhaps did. (Also I did get your other ask and will awnser it! It'll probably take me a sec though since Equi is... hard for me to write. >:) )

14, 17, 18 for the dmmd ask game (omg I can't believe you played it !!)
-@partingwayssoon
HELL YEAH dude i have literally done nothing else this weekend 👍 i love procrastination it's my favorite (original ask game)
14. Who is your favorite love interest?
immediately starting with the hardest question, oh god ;w; TBH the lame answer is that i like all of them for different reasons. the real answer is that i like aoba the best out of every character oops oh well. the actual answer is, idk, koujaku maybe (ur propaganda has been incredibly powerful) though i also find ren absolutely hysterical on multiple levels. tfw your soulmate who is both you and also your dog is put into your long lost twin brother's body, presumably so you can fuck irl instead of in your mind palace beach flashback. insanity.
17. What's your favorite good end?
possibly biased since this was the first (good) ending i got, but probably clear's, if only because i think it's batshit that it's even considered a good ending at all. for context, i stumbled across clear's route on my first playthru out of pure chance, not really trying for anyone specific, and accidentally got the bad ending first 👍 so that was great, but THEN i immediately went back to get the good ending and the fact that they have the AUDACITY to call fucking your robot boyfriend to DEATH a good ending is. i don't have the words to describe that emotion. yeah okay fine it's not getting all your limbs cut off but pul-lease, the fact that they are so visceral in describing his skin flaking off WHILE his cock is inside him makes me feel like chewing glass oh my god
18. What's your favorite bad end?
hmm i actually really like noiz's second bad ending (the pixel game one) :3c again specifically because it's referred to as a Bad ending and also the "comfortable world," where everything is just the same old shit over and over again forever. there's legitimately some interesting philosophy underpinning a lot of DMMD, especially in the true route w/ all the sei shit-- it seems like they're pushing back against a very particular kind of buddhist philosophy about the value of letting go of desires (?? not only an idea in buddhism tbh, this also shows up in some daoism + greek stoic stuff + hinduism, like i'm pretty sure there's a famous section of the bhagavad gita where krishna specifically advocates a similar idea-- apologies, i'm not familiar enough w/ all the source material to know what exactly which thing DMMD is trying to criticize, if they're getting that specific at all), which is like weirdly perfect for a game largely based around constant gay sex ahahahhaha (note as well the sanskrit om symbols plastered across all of toue's endgame rhyme world). i also just love all the glitchy shit at the end of noiz's route, it feels Very fitting for the character.
+ not the question, but least favorite bad ending is probably mink's, if only cuz it feels incredibly anticlimactic after Everything Else. like the decapitation thing isn't bad but. eh. maybe i'm just desensitized after all the dirkjake but c'monnnnnnnnn, mink can be worse. i know he can. i believe in him <3

personal headcanon time 😦 iiii recognize that andrew hussie probably did not sit down and say "im going to write all of these characters as aromantic" but i like to interpret them in that way based on things they say and do in the text as well as their roles within the narrative. obligatory disclaimer Sorry if i'm misinterpreting the text i hope this all makes sense

john: aromantic, does not want to be in a romantic relationship. the type to date someone for 1 week in high school if someone asks them out
jake: somewhere on the aro spectrum, perpetually on-and-off-and-on-again with dirk with random flings in between. wants to be in a relationship with dirk (until she doesn't) but doesn't feel as strongly as dirk does. it's complicated (obligatory "i think that the line about wanting to be alone forever is born more out of self loathing and instinct to isolate rather than genuine lack of desire to be in a relationship" this reading is based on other things)
aradia: aromantic, does not want to be in a romantic relationship unless it's in a "i want to play pretend with a random person for two months for fun" kind of way (not what was going on with sollux when they were 8), chooses to genuinely spend a significant portion of her life with certain people she's close to
karkat: aromantic. cannot distinguish platonic affection for friends from romantic attraction. gets stuck in situationship purgatory. pulling his hair out wondering when he's going to start feeling the same way people do in love songs
"but calware" said nobody "don't you like [insert ship with one of these characters i've reblogged art for in the past]?" to answer your question a) i like allo interpretations too from time to time if i see good arajade art on my dash i will reblog it 👍 b) i feel like i have an unconventional approach to "shipping" where to me all it means is that i enjoy exploring the dynamic of two characters in a relationship (not every kind of relationship obviously), romantic or otherwise, functional or otherwise, etc. i "ship" dirkjake even though i think they would break up 50 times. i "ship" davekat even though i dont think karkat would fall in love etc

haii!! i’m glitter!!!! you can also call me katya or roxy, especially if we're close!!! ヾ(๑╹ꇴ◠๑)ノ”
i go by any pronouns :3 he/she/they preferred, no pref between the three >_<
EDIT!!!!!!!! my social anxiety has been extremely bad as of late!!!!!!! if i dont know you and i reblog a post with a comment then say "sorry" or something for seemingly no reason it's because i don't want to bother you or make you uncomfortable!!!!!!!! i'm very awkward talking to other people who havent spoken to me nowadays so some things i say may be kind of weird!!! im sorry about this!!!!!
if i reblog a homestuck ship there's a high chance i just like the art, the only ships i really ship are qpr calliejaneroxy (+callieroxy, janeroxy, and calliejane), dirkjake, johndave, vrisrezi, vrisroxy, and rosemary ^_^ (oh and meowrails but they're not a flushed ship)

i'm a katya (pafl) and roxy (homestuck) fictionkin!!!! :DDDDDDDD i am white so i dont usually tag posts portraying roxy in any other way as "me," unless i really resonate with the post in a different way. ^_^ the drawings i do of roxy lean from fanon and source compliant to stuff that's more like. me. i don't have a set source headcanon so like. lol. yea. i doubt any1 will care to read this but just putting it out there!!
