Being a brave independent-minded contrarian and saying we should put the sex color back on the pride flag but not the magic color. We're all good materialists here, right?

Honestly this is rather conflicting. I sort of get it in that I get the desire for life-affirming opposite to the "Gnostic" notion of matter as to be regressed from, but at the same time insofar as the implication is that the world is "perfect" and inherently good, you have to be an idiot to actually believe that. Then again, that's arguably just orthodox Platonism. Platonists believed that the Demiurge created everything out of the goodness of his heart (but then they also sometimes believed the material cosmos was just the degradation of undifferentiated being), "Gnostics" believed that the Demiurge was either evil or just ignorant and self-deluded (well-meaning or otherwise). But then, we know why the Gnostic/Platonic Demiurge really did it:

Really, just one demon? There's surely more than that. And you can summon them.

Candy Jake deserves respect

(Written 3/17/25) I see a lot of people misunderstand Jake's motivations on pages 681-685, and subsequently call him useless for being incompetent at killing Jane. It's important to recognize that Jake could've easily snuck up on Jane and low diff'd her--but he didn't, because he's Jake English. Despite everything that she put him through (re: the entirety of Candy) he still loves her *as a friend*. He so desperately wants for her to just go back to how she was when they were kids but he simultaneously acknowledges the fact that she's damaging everyone around them and needs to be stopped. 

       It's also important to note how big of a turning point Jake deciding to shoot Jane is for his character. Like, he stayed in a marriage with her for 15 years. He let Gamzee raise his son for him. He avoided any sort of confrontation prior to this because he didn't want things to turn out badly. And yet, even though he failed to kill Jane in one shot, he still locked in during [S] 8r8k which is such a crazy development from HS1? Like holy shit? My goat followed through? 

Anyways yeah tl;dr Jake is cool and not useless.

(4/1/25 amendment, tangentially related to the first part)

     Brain ghost Dirk having Jake's eye color means literally everything to me. Even though brain ghost Dirk repeated over and over again that he was just a facet of Jake's coping mechanisms I don't think that really sunk in until the reveal. 

     Can you imagine how he felt when he saw BGD's eyes and realized that he had been relying on himself the entire time? That he doesn't need other people to harness his power from him, and that he can truly do things by himself if he tries. And how terrifying it must've been to reckon with the fact that he is his own person, and that he doesn't owe others anything but his best self. It's awesome I think. 

     I acknowledge the fact that none of this means anything by itself, but I'm adding onto this specific rant for a reason. People put too much emphasis on him shooting Jane, when in reality I think the most important part of that scene was him getting up after failing to kill her. Not to slander HS1 Jake but he Would Not Have done that.
