tumblr whites who haven’t listened to a lick of rap before not like us talking about a hugely influential black rapper who weaves politically poignant narratives about his own lived experience as a black person in america, systematic racism, etc: haha he’s so quirky he’s so petty he’s like a trickster god an old god a fae god oooooh he’s a dragon slayer get it cause drake-
#kendrick lamar#superbowl#i think you should all die actually#the “too neurodivergent to listen to hip pop” website dumbing down a black artist’s work and repackaging it as-#chronically online unfunny tumblr humour mythological references#i’m not at all surprised. after all this is the same website that constantly pats themselves on the back for being#not like the other social platforms and capable of Critical Thinking™ while consuming major events through destiel memes#dare i say going on twitter and learning about REAL FUCKING PROBLEMS outside the tumblr echo chamber would make some of you more normal.#*addendum since I’ve been made aware it sounds a tad mean/biased - by real problems i mean diversifying-#what you’re consuming from social media because twitter is a lot less fandom-y if you want it to be#and certainly there are a lot more poc actively talking about real world events#why are we pretending tumblr is somehow this uber progressive platform when it’s so homogenous in certain ways#em speaks

Do you think if the trolls all came back, like everything in the main comic did happen and they were alive again. Do you think Feferi would actually forgive Eridan? Or want to even be his friend after everything? I don't personally like the erisol and fefertasprite interaction…felt rushed…..so I just wanted to know your opinion if things were different! :)
Yeah, I think they would be! Feferi is one of the trolls who takes dying the least badly (relentless optimism) and Eridan does genuinely feel bad, which means a lot when it's Eridan. I think she really is genuine when she says she wants them to be friends and also that she's really not the type of person to hold a grudge, and like... death is SUPER cheap in Homestuck, it's really not the horrific, irredeemable, irreperable damage that it is IRL - and if you're talking about (Feferi) and (Eridan), then they're both dead (and irrelevent) now, so the score is kind of even.
In general, the fandom - I mean, people in general, really - tend to have difficulty divorcing themselves from other people. We tend to assume that the people and characters they like will hold similar opinions to themselves. This is how people who like Karkat and don't like Eridan can mentally gloss over or even block out their clear, close friendship, or how people who dislike Cronus can end up overlooking that Meenah actually takes his opinion seriously and unironically defends his wizard thing. Feferi really isn't mad at Eridan or upset about dying the way we probably would be, because she's friends with the horrorterrors, relentlessly cheerful, comfortable with death in general, and death is also just not really that big of a deal in this setting. "I'm really sorry about that, that was shitty of me" is honestly probably all the apology she needs, especially if they came back to life anyway.
#i dunno in general the fandom loves to blow stuff up#and make it all way way angstier than it needs to be or was even shown to be#by all accounts feferi takes dying really well#im sure shes still not STOKED to be eridan's friend again but out of all her faults#holding long unreasonable grudges isnt really one of them#(that's a kanaya thing actually)#eridan's always gonna be an annoying pest to her in large doses but i think she basically thinks of him as a friend#also eridan responds to problems overwhelmingly with Fight#so this idea that eridan will be forever mopey and angsty also doesnt ring true to his character#if anything i can see him becoming annoying again because now he won't stop fucking apologizing#like bro chill its fine already oh my god why is everyt)(ing suc)( a PRODUCTION wit)( you#because thats the last point too like#homestuck always returns to humor#hussie even says in the book commentary that homestuck is lighthearted and comedic at its core#that it keeps returning to that as a touchstone#even during its tensest moments like murderstuck theres just constant funnies and gags#so i just end up going kinda :/ when an interpretation is purely maudlin or cathartic#like its more homestuck when its funny and characters treating murder with the same gravitas as irl#not only doesnt make sense in universe where death is cheap - ESPECIALLY for trolls#but also just doesn't really feel very homestuck to me#but that is 100% personal taste so if you like that stuff by all means keep enjoying it lol#you just arent going to get uber angst from me u_u

How do you go about finding/reading fics?
Personally, when I get into something, I'll go through a list of fanfic sites and read all the summaries and pick what sounds interesting, then every few weeks I observed the tag again if I'm still interested. Sometimes I stumble upon them on tumblr, iirc thats how I found yours. Art -> Fic.
Now, while I haven't finished the new Mond murder quest, lack of voices and the weird ost for the trial put me off a tad, I don't have a decent idea of Dahlia but still shouldn't really be all that surprised at the Dahlia/Venti but there are so many in so little time, god speed.
it depends on my investment in the ship. when i first start i just go to the ao3 ship tag and scroll down in order of most recent. if the chronological order is too slow to get new interesting fics for my rate of reading, then i sort by bookmarks in a separate tab and go down the list, checking back in on the chronological order every once in a while
i don't touch any other sites nowadays unless i'm really desperate. i just know that if i go to wattpad i'm gonna end up both frustrated and just reading can't eat love again for the like. nth time.
#i did finish paralogism. it went pretty much as expected for an albedo-centric storyline#you all know i'm not the biggest mondstadt fan so#i know it was supposed to all be an [spoilers] but god. the fact that nobody in the audience seemed to protest the proceedings anyway#like that was supposed to be normal#i cannot believe mondstadts judicial process is worse than fontaine's#why are you the us of a. why are you consistently built like this. and they want me to like you??????????#as always alice was the highlight of the event#actually the city defense sequence was nice i gotta give them that. i think my only problem was uh#the prayer circle didn't work so i'm still daydreaming abt the natlan remake. and i did think it'd make sense for there to be like#something like that. so to see it in-game as always rarely meassures up to expectations#like why were there no npcs whatsoever. the city felt uber empty i didn't really feel much urgency lmao#but that's probably on me bc i figure the rest of you hadn't had expectations for a sequence like that so#the dahlia venti ship came out of left field for me but i've just accepted that i'm never gonna get most mondstadt ships#that once again is prob on me for not caring enough abt mondstadt so i hardly read their profile and abouts#dahlia is fine he's just whatever to me. his voice direction and the fact he's extremely mond church associated#and that his kit is also kinda whatever like. here a hydro option for if you want eshu or you want skirk#none of that is helping him i'm afraid. but i don't think i dislike him he's just whatever to me. i'm gonna forget he exists in two patches#anyway yeah sorry for the rambles#funnily enough the muteness has been making quests easier to get through LMAO

I'm sweating really badly amongst other things so hopefully this just points to MORE medication withdrawal and that's it :)
#vent#i've been without my lamotrigine for like 3 days because i have no ride#both my parents are acting like idiots right now and it's 100 dollars for uber there and back lmfao#i'm gonna just have to bite the bullet and either#A) have my dad take me and hear him say some super off the wall and unintentionally upsetting shit as well as some conservative garbage#or B) have my mom take me and get bitched at because now she's upset i'm (checks patch notes) getting high#which she's apparently only very recently decided she's got a problem with#what fucking ever i can barely think striaght

my friend and i are trying to plan valentine's day stuff (we're both single) in downtown toronto and we keep running into snags when it comes to transportation ☹️ both of us live 40 minutes to an hour outside of the city so if we want to drink (which we probably will but can also do without) we either have to rely on public transport (trains and buses stop running around 1 or 2 am so we have a time crunch, and it adds an extra 20 minutes onto the ETA) or one of us chauffeurs the other around (which we've done before but it's not very fun when one person is drinking and the other one wants to but can't) or uber/taxi (WAY too expensive for just the two of us considering the covered distance)

#anyways. where were all these uber conservatives who are so dang concerned about wasted funds#when everyone was trying to tell them about all the problems in the funding of police#ragamusings in the tags#i'm trying so hard not to turn straight up activist ok#bc peeps keep parading my faith around as an excuse for abuses and injustices

Kinda crazy how quick people who don't even watch ofmd will jump on the bandwagon of get fucked you guys suck haha glad your show is done! Like??? I genuinely don't understand. Why go out of your way to rain on someone else's parade with clearly no knowledge of the show?
#ofmd#renew as a crew#omfg not people calling it a slaveowners rpf#like what in the fuck#maybe don't blindly regurgitate what you heard from eternally pissed of twitter user no. 19#twitter is an echo chamber of hate most of the time fuelled by a lack of nuance & prejudice & misconception#ANYWAY#I'm living my best life enjoying my little shows with fun stories and ubers of representation written by a diverse writing room#:D#(p.s. just bc people don't devote their online presence to something big and real and serious doesn't mean they're ignoring the problem)#p.s.s. it's not really stede bonnet! it's an actor playing from a script! 😉 wowww

ok not to be that guy but aita for getting mad for being invited to plans as an obvious afterthought because I'm able to drive. I always volunteer to normally but I feel like. every once in a while im invited strategically and if i was in their position I'd work out a way to make it happen otherwise. used to be thrilled to be invited along as well but now it's kind of getting old when im clearly expected to drive
#sincerly asking if im the asshole i guess. i dont believe in making people use uber or pay for gas even i just want people to actually want#me along for Me when making plans#the problem is i often Do volunteer to drive and genuinely love it Most of the time
