I can't read unless I give all the characters voices in my head 🗣️

i wrote a short taz/homestuck crossover back in 2018, just the IPRE crew running into Earth C, and obviously it’s not up to my current standards but i’m still not sure i’ll ever write a joke funnier than this one

right at the beginning:

and then, lup meeting terezi:

and finally, right at the end, having had a whole year to investigate:

#there was an alt version where lup replied with some absolutely godawful quirk #but i decided this was funnier #also i linked the fic in the replies if you want to read it #i swear this wasn’t me trying to like. self-advertise or whatever i was just thinking about this old joke #did Not expect the post to blow up like this #homestuck #the adventure zone

shoutout to taylor just profiling Some Guy and attacking him with bugs because he maybe might be the guy projecting Siberian

imagine being that guy, chilling in your prepped out apartment, living out every libertarian redditguy’s doomsday dream, when you randomly get attacked by a swarm of bugs, who then disappear as quickly as they came. what the fuck lmfao

I understand that literature nerd Jason Todd is kind of overblown in fanon compared to it's actual presence in canon (a few issues during his pre (and post?)crisis Robin tenure that highlight it) BUT consider that I think it's hilarious if the unhinged gun toting criminal has strong opinions on poetry

#ramblings of a lunatic #dc comics #Jason Todd #batfamily #it's just a fun quirk! it's a fun lil detail and I simply cannot slight ppl for enjoying and incorporating it into works #like obviously jason isn't the only one. I'm a big believer in the batfam having over lapping interests they refuse to bond over #i know dick canonically used the robin hood stories (which are pretty flowery in their language far as i can tell) as inspo for Robin #and i know babs was a librarian and even tho her area of nerddom is characterized as more computery she probably knows quite a lot- #-about literature as well #duke is a hobbyist writer i believe? i saw a fan mention that- which if so is great and I hope he's also a nerd #(i mean he is canonically. i remember him being a puzzle nerd in his introduction. but i mean specifically a lit nerd) #damian called Shakespeare boring but also took acting classes so i think he's more of a theatre kid. #Tim's a dropout and i don't think he's ever shown distinct interest in english lit and i can't remember for Steph? #I'm ngl my brain hyperfocused on musician Steph i forget some of her other interests I'm sorry (minus softball and gymnastics!) #and then Cass had her whole (non linear but it's whatevs) arc about literacy and learning to read #went from struggling to read in batgirl 00 to memorizing Shakespeare in 'tec and is now an avid read in batgirls! #she's shown reading edgar allen poe but we don't know if it's his short stories or his poems #point to all of the above being: i know Jason's not the only lit nerd in the batfam #but also i do need him to be writing poetry in his spare time and reading and reviewing it #jason at the next dead robins society meeting: evening folks today I'll be assigning all of us poems based on laika the space dog #damian and steph who have been kidnapped and brought to jasons warehouse to hangout: LET US GO BITCH #speaking of^ random poem i think jason would like: space dog by alan shapiro #wake up one morning in an unfamiliar more mature body with a profound sense of abandonment. the last four lines. mmm tasty

i had to draw the funny interaction between @finalcord , @squeakitties and i about the bucket after seeing someone rb with tags about homestuck

"so, are you ever going to write that ult!kankri fic?" yes. yes i will. im writing it right now actually.

enjoy the beginning of a lenghty dream sequence that takes a turn for the worse for dirk. kankris a cunning son of a gun in this one.

(when i figure out how to actually code all of this shit on ao3 its over for yall)

I can’t hate bakugo not when he pours a concerning amount of energy into hating anything that breathes in bnha town 🙏💗

When Thunder stays with Clear Sky for a while, does Clear ever insist on referring to him as Thunder Sky?

Towards the end yes, as the final detail to Thunder Storm that Clear Sky doesn't love him. He wants to ERASE him.

If Clear Sky recognizes he's made a mistake in casting Bright Storm away with their child, he's incapable of seeing it was wrong because it was cruel. He wants what he realizes he threw away, because he now sees it has value. He wants to own his oldest son the way he wants to own the entire forest-- as a reflection of his greatness.

Anything that makes Clear Sky uncomfortable about Thunder Storm has to be sanded down. The assertiveness was the first thing, he feels insecure when he's challenged, the child must learn to follow before he may learn to lead.

The second is that leg, presenting a prosthetic as a gift (that he isnt allowed to refuse), because he can't have been wrong about the choice that killed his younger brother-- here is a SOLUTION that simply didn't exist before! Behold how resourceful and wealthy his cats are, compared to your old group. We've fixed you.

(This prosthetic is a clunky piece of shit that is annoying to strap on every day, gets in the way and makes a ton of noise, and itches like hell, but the change in Clear's demeanor is immediate if Thunder doesn't wear it.)

But somehow, Thunder Storm was willing to take all of that. In hindsight, it bothers him that the tipping point wasn't the other two things.

Bright Storm gave her son her own last name. When Clear Sky sent them away and the Mountain Cats permanently split, it was pointed. "My only survivor is named for myself." SHE would raise him, alone.

Bright Storm herself slowly seemed to lose sight of the meaning, encouraging him to understand his father's good aspects, but in the meanwhile it took on a new meaning to Thunder. His mother raised him. He found a father in Shaded Flower. He grew up next to Lightning Cry and Acorn Swoop. Thunder Storm means this. It's the person he made himself, and the love they've all put into him.

Thunder SKY is just another monument to Clear Sky, stripping away the life he lived without him. And WHY? For ego? For comfort?

"What am I letting him DO to me?!"

It wasn't the final STRAW, but it was the tipping point. Once Thunder Storm had this realization, the minute he was not going to budge on something, that confrontation was inevitable. The blowout fight was making reservations.

Sunlit Frost is still the breaking point, the injury from his burn going sour, but I'm going to emphasize the way that Clear Sky only called that meeting in the first place as an abuse game. Thunder Storm knew it was coming-- but it still sickens him that it was something THIS monstrous.

#And then he had to rescue bumble just a day or two later #That event is shuffled. In canon it's often forgotten that Bumble's murder and the fantastic lie come before the Frost scene #In fact he's like visibly agitated because Turts didn't buy his shitty lie and gray didn't obey an egotistical order #Gray is completely capable of being wise when he realizes the patrol is going to kill him if he doesn't shut up #Guywho was TOTALLY going to get help because uhh it was a fox actually and i didnt beat some woman to death: #''Anyway spongeboy me son kill this man'' #Bb!dotc #Better bones au #Tw ableism #Cw ableism #Ableism #Also if anyone went thru something similar with the prosthetics feel free to share annoying quirks #Due to the nature of them being four legged it's kind of backwards that it's a leg prosthetic that he's dissatisfied with #From what I read leg prosthetics are usually better built and have a higher satisfaction rate #But in a cat it would be very different because being a tripod is not as big of a deal #Especially the back leg #It really would do nothing but get in the way

Controversial question maybe?? But I don’t get the people wanting Keigo’s arc to finish up realizing he can be a hero without the quirk. Like yeah sure, but tbh, you can’t really be a good hero without the quirk so I’m just confused as to why some people want that to be his conclusion

"can’t really be a good hero without the quirk"

uhh im not sure I agree with this. In fact, I think you need to like....reread something.....it's my hero academia, here's chapter one.

#asks #deku's about to give up his whole quirk and for what #people's awful reading comprehension #im sorry this is so snarky but im just a little blind sided and I think this is very much a case of readers missing the forest for the tree

somebody rec me some good books. and they do actually have to be good. don’t rec me something just because it’s gay or it’s popular, it has to also still be good. like both the story and the writing have to be good none of this good concept bad writing or good writing horrible story. fantasy or soft scifi preferred, especially if it’s nontraditional fantasy. I am bored and sick of the internet and I want to get back into reading more but I’m kinda meh about most of what’s on my shelf

*edit: when I say “soft scifi” I don’t mean cozy I mean not hard scifi, as in stories that are more fantastical than grounded in hard science. for example the Martian is considered hard scifi, so not that. Star Wars would be closer to a soft scifi bc it’s all bullshit on the science end and it’s more about the vibes

#I started the jasmine throne and that was good but then I noticed a somewhat repetitive quirk of the writing style #and once I noticed it I couldn’t STOP noticing it which was extremely distracting and made it hard to pay attention to the story #the problem with books is I am sooooo hypercritical and so many ppl are bad writers and get published anyway #and booktok can’t tell the difference so these shitty books become bestsellers just bc they’re gay and tropey #not that jasmine throne is bad writing. it’s ok writing I just can’t stop noticing they overuse one particular sentence structure #and now it’s driving me crazy #but there are plenty of other bestselling books that ARE legitimately bad writing #I’m reading a psalm for the wild built rn and that is genuinely really good and next is the second book #but I’m almost done with the first one and both are like. really short. so I need something for when I finish those #(carefully does not look at the stack of comics I bought at SPX that I haven’t read yet)
