something something a follower who is more devout than their god. a fervent acolyte and a doubtful divine. the obsessive devotion of one who has become a sword for someone who cannot stomach the thought of wielding them. misplaced worship that refuses to be swayed. a invulnerable deity painfully human in its uneasy hesitancy, a fragile mortal made alien by its unquestioning conviction. attack dog and owner with a tight grip on the leash. and make it as fucked up and gay as possible.

Hey guys! I've been feeling a bit insecure so here's something in case anyone (mostly me) needs to hear it:

Your f/o doesn't think you're too childish

They don't mind if you're different from them

Your f/o adores your personality and physical appearance

Your f/o loves all your quirks

Your "flaws" are what they DREAM of

Seriously, you and them complement eachother so well! It's honestly like if someone were to try and find the definition of soulmates, they'd find a picture of you and them. You were literally MADE FOR EACHOTHER!!!

Do the people know about your 6 ft Maul statue. Do they. Do they, Sol

Not me just floating through my inbox having forgotten that you fucking sent this.

I do not know why, but hey, I'll bite.

I have a 6ft tall Darth Maul statue. He is often dressed for holidays, but always has the lights.

my favorite thing about revolutionary girl utena is that finishing it changes you fundamentally as a person and both you and the characters will be haunted by the narrative and its impact forever. my second favorite thing about revolutionary girl utena is that one episode where nanami nearly gets her shit rocked by a renegade boxing kangaroo on school property

#^ WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN. BTW. #in all seriousness tho what a fucking masterpiece of a story. can't wait to rewatch and dissect it obsessively all over again #i have so many thoughts and none of them coherent So. lost to the void they shall be #rgu #revolutionary girl utena #sol speaks

The problem with the Black Panther movies is that they have a whole ass man in a high-tech fursuit, and not ONCE does he act like a kitty-cat. He doesn't even meow.

Ok so it’s always been my secret dream to be one of those cool bloggers who talk about their ocs on main and i’ve decided that’s a fairly realistic thing to aspire to, actually, so i might as well make an attempt at it

so i have this original story, right? (yes, i know, a massive shock considering the amount of fan content i produce)

i’ve had a very basic concept for it since way back when i thought up the first character, when i was like…. 10ish? possibly younger? and lately i’ve been fleshing it out a bit more and trying to turn it into something i actually feel motivated to try and bring to life

the original premise was a fairly standard fantasy story, but since then it’s undergone some… major revisions

we start with a fantasy world. it’s called ogygia, for reasons i’ll get to. ogygia is technically just one of several continents on this world, but the other ones don’t really appear in the story, so we’ll ignore them today.

ogygia is a pretty typical melting pot fantasy setting, albeit with a few less friendly nonhuman races than average. they’ve got mages, ancient sleeping dragons, mermaids that eat people who go in the big lakes, fairies that eat people who go in the magic forests, sea monsters that eat people who go in the oceans…

you know. all the fun stuff.

anyway, one day some guy figures out how to summon people from earth and sells the method to every interested party on the continent.

unsurprisingly, this causes a lot of problems.

thoughts/analysis of davepetasprite^2

My feelings on them are kind of mixed! On the one hand, I think they’re an incredibly interesting character with a ton of potential, especially in fanwork, but on the other hand they get barely any screentime in the comic proper and pretty much the only thing they manage to do before heading off on their suicide mission is tank any chance of Davesprite ever getting to complete his character arc in a satisfying way.

As far as canon goes, I think they were probably a poor choice to add in. They don’t get enough of an arc to justify sacrificing a character as interesting as Davesprite for them, and there are some seriously uncomfortable implications attached to their whole “I got fused with a catgirl and now my depression is cured” thing. I think they could have been great if they’d been given room to really explore those implications, but they only get a couple logs worth of characterization before collide, so it ends out pretty unsatisfying, at least on my end. The way it’s framed, it’s almost like they’re supposed to be the conclusion to Davesprite’s character arc, rather than being their own character, which is just… no. You don’t get to conclude a character’s arc by turning them into a different character, that doesn’t work. That’s the start of an arc, not the end of one. Not the last one, at least.

For fanwork, though, I love them. There’s so much about them that’s worth reading into, and they’re incredibly interesting if only because their existence has necessary and intriguing consequences for any setting they’re placed in.

They’ve got memories from two different people, without really being either of them. In Dave’s case, they were the spare already and they’ve got a fair bit of trauma about it, so becoming an even “faker” Dave is bound to have some kind of effect on them. In Nepeta’s case, they’re the only version of her left, and the fact that they can’t be her, even while she’s a huge part of them, is going to Do Things to their head.

I also think they’re lying to themself about not having depression anymore. Like, they know they’re probably going to permadie to Lord English when they head off to fight him and they do it anyway, despite literally no one asking them to. That is not the behavior of someone with a healthy attitude towards the inherent value of their own existence. I’d give even odds as to whether the constant cheer is consciously a front or if they’re repressing so hard even they don’t realize how not ok they are.

I’m genuinely surprised there isn’t more fic of them struggling with The Gender Thing. Like, they’ve got memories of being both a boy and a girl, and they decide to be neither upon entering existence? There are some implications there. Like, do Dave and Nepeta have repressed Gender Feelings? Was Davesprite an egg? Them immediately picking a new gender doesn’t necessarily indicate that at least one of their components was looking for an excuse to trans their gender, but it certainly indicates something. And honestly, that not being the case would have it’s own incredibly interesting implications. Like, is their gender an extension of their identity issues? It could be. I’d read that fic.

Speaking of identity issues… wow, am I right? They’ve got at least two different kinds of impostor syndrome, three years of getting called a fake version of themself on one end and three years spent as a ghost interacting with dozens of alternate universe versions of themself on the other, and that’s not even getting into the whole ultimate self thing.

Basically, I just… I love them. They’re wasted in canon but fandom is fully capable of realizing their potential in its stead and every time I find a fic that does it well I end up rereading it multiple times because they’re just such a delight when they’re written well. They’re also the only nonbinary character in the main body of Homestuck and I’m not about to lie and pretend that doesn’t give me a massive bias towards them.
