It's Kafka pulling time Babeyy!!!

stumbled across that deleted scene of merlin complimenting the knights and forcing arthur into jealous sparring to impress merlin and i just. god. they are so gay. that scene was straight out of a fanfic. since we treat the sigil scene as canon despite it being deleted, i move to motion that we address that scene as canon as well. all in favor, read this post. oh look at that, its unanimous.

i am in love with your sollux i think

sollux love party :]

if you’re interested heres some of my personal fondness thoughts on him.. big warning for the mega long read ahead aye

as we alr know sollux's rejection of participation somewhat mirrors dave's rejection of heroism, but even without getting cooked to completion i still find sollux's character v compelling beyond the fourth wall

as someone who doesnt get a pinch of that Protagonist Sparkle to begin with, he can openly say he wants to leave anytime…. and unlike dave, he actually Can leave the scene anytime. but he can never be truly Free from the story via permanent character death like the other trolls.

his irrelevancy is indeed relevant - he’s there so u can point him out.

while his image is intended to be a relic of past internet subculture, his role is not only about hehehaha being a Chad or a 2000s cyberforum 2²chan haxxor ragequit gamebro.

his continued existence also happens to add a Bit to the overarching themes of homestuck! a Bit that gives him longer-lasting thematic relevance compared to the trolls who could’ve had more character potential but didnt get to survive beyond the main story.

the Bit in question:

his defiance contributes to the illusion of agency (treating characters = people with autonomy). he’s “aware” of it, and that recognition is worth noting enough to forcibly keep him alive as both reward and punishment.

considering how his personality & classpect is designed its definitely a very haha thing for hussie to do LOL. he’s made to be op asf so he's resigned to doing dirty work, gradually deteriorating along the way but never truly dying. as fans have mentioned before, him openly rejecting involvement after a while of grim tolerance is like if the sim u were controlling suddenly stopped, looked up and gave u the finger while u were step six into the walkthrough for Every Possible Sim Death Animation.

but since he’s just a sim… the more he hates it, the more you keep him around. if ur sim started complaining abt your whimsical household storyline you’d definitely keep that little fuck.

but yeah i like that sollux is just idling. the significance of his presence being that one dude who's always reliably Somewhere, root core Unchanged, no individual ambitions (possibly due to fear of consequence?), and design-wise: a staple representative product of his time.

compared to dirk's character, who has aged phenomenally well into the present (themes of control + AR + artificial intelligence, clearer exploration around navigating relationships/sexuality, infinite possibilities of self-splinterhood and trait inheritance), sollux's potential is really... contained. bitter. defeatist. limiting and frustrating in the way old tech is.

the world continues moving on to shinier, brighter, more advanced automated things - minimalist and metaverse or whatever but sollux is still here 🧍‍♂️ going woohoo redblue 3d. (tho personally i imagine his vibe similar to what the kids call cassette futurism on pinterest mixed w more grimy grunge insectoid influences eheh)

conceptually-speaking,

at the foundation of it all, the rapid pace of modern development was built off the understanding of ppl like sollux in the past, who were There actively at work while the dough was still beginning to rise

thats one of the cool things abt the idea of trolls preceding humans! the idea that trolls like sollux excelled back when lots of basic shit still needed to be discovered, building structures like networks and codes from scratch, and humans will eventually inherit and reinvent that knowledge in ways that become so optimized it makes the old manual effort seem archaic, slow, and labour-intensive.

but despite information/resources/shortcuts being more accessible now, much of the new highly-anticipated stuff released on trend still end up unfinished, inefficient, or expiring quickly due to cutting corners under severe capitalistic pressures

meanwhile, some of the old stuff frm past generations of thorough, exploratory and perfectionistic development still remains working, complete, and ever so sturdy.

those things continue to exist, just outside our periphery with either:

zero purpose left for modern needs (outdated/obsolete)

or

far too important to replace or destroy, bcs of its surprisingly essential and circumstantial usefulness in one niche specific area.

which are honestly? both points that sum up sollux pree well.

dramatic ending sorry. anw are u still on the fence or are u Sick abt him like me </3

i legitimately dont know how to characterize these two anymore

also here's a dump of the other stuff as i actually concept for this garbage fire LOL

tw for blood on the 3rd slide + mildy suggestive joke on the 12th + fake doll guts on the 14th + constant extreme tonal whiplash

id apologize for the ragamaster blast once again but i am but a shell of a man who feels no remorse. LMFAOO

the contrast between kacchan not caring about the irreversible damage to his body verses his entire life flashing before his eyes, his heart shattering, brokenly sobbing about the future he’d dreamed of sharing with Izuku after it’s revealed he’s quirkless is fucking STAGGERING

the Sully kids' reaction to Jake saying Spider "knew everything" breaks my heart.

they knew him better than anyone else, better than their parents. they knew his love for Eywa, for Pandora, for The People, for the clan, for their family. they knew he would never tell the RDA anything... not willingly at least.

they knew they were leaving because Spider would be tortured for information, he'd be forced to reveal their home, their plans, their numbers, their weaknesses. their brother would be tortured and they were being forced to leave him behind.

they knew they were being forced to find a new home, without their brother, because their dad knew he would be tortured.

This got me thinking about this theory i've read recently (i cant remember where, so if anyone has seen it too pls let me know so i can link it!) that the ghouls stigmas might be related to the pact they made and the things they are running away from/were struggling with.

(Jin's command --> finally having control over his life/decisions, luca's protective beast --> his twin?, if haku's stigma is actually shape-shifting--> being whoever he wants to be and not what his family expects of him to be, and so on)

Idk, i just like this theory more than the one about the ghouls gaining their respective demon's powers.

thoughts/messy rant from the baku weekend aka carlos sainz and rbr you are on my shitlist, fuck you :

that three way battle for the win that almost turned into a 4 way battle was so fuckin cool and i need more of that (preferably with max in the mix there)

charles leclerc actually fighting that mclaren rocket deserves a standing ovation

that clip of max waiting for charles in the back of a lewis interview is the only thing that kept me going for the majority of this weekend ngl

checo and baku is like a magical mix, he loves this track so much, its so beautiful seeing a driver love a track this much

speaking of checo, carlos sainz i am going to liquidate you and your williams contract for next year so you never step foot on this fucking grid again, you absolute bastard of a driver

anyways

oscar you are such an impressive driver

him pulling a win after all the mclaren bs about "papaya rules" was Beautiful

thank you mark webber and your black magic

now we get to my fav part :)

red bull fuckin racing ...

max literally said he was comfy with the fp3 set up and then the team changes it

not just changes it, REMOVES THE ONE FUCKIN UPGRADE THEY BROUGHT FOR THIS WEEKEND

MAX WAS LITERALLY DRIVING AN OLDER VERSION OF THE FUCKASS CAR.

baku and singapore is gonna be such a crucial damage limitation double header and the team couldnt even take advantage of a p15 starting lando ????????

??????

that dumb petty radio from lando after the race annoyed me even more cuz of this fuck off dude

max passes you so he could give you thumbs up for the race as a celebration and you become a whining loser on the radio ?? your engineer literally tells you it doesnt matter cuz the race is over and you still whine about it, brother what ??

the only good thing from this weekend is that it genuinely seems like rbr have figured out what the working window for the car is and now simply need to find the boundaries of it cuz they did perfectly with checo while max' set up was outside of that window

max' "we could be surprising" or wtv comment about Singapore is making me very delusional rn so i will be manifesting a career first Singapore win for max 🕯🕯

oh and a final note

fuck you sainz

[smalldicksantiago]

the worst thing about armand's fanfiction is not the fact he just treated nicki as a side character but that THERE WAS NO GABRIELLE!!!! not even a remark or a mention or even an authors note. the absolute utter hated armand has for lestat's mother is legendary.
