they don’t know about Andrew Hussie’s gender pyramid
i'm gonna let this speak for itself
forgot to include the best part.
everybody who’s reblogging this like “…well, a stopped clock is right twice a day…” i need yall to know that 1. this is actually incredibly typical of the rest of their writing and 2. they are actually trans and this is how they came out the closet. this isn’t a random, weirdly correct shot-in-the-dark commentary on trans identity from a cis person, it is the newest entry in a long line of works by a (now) openly non-binary person who has been writing predominately about sexuality & gender for her entire artistic career. all of this queer subtext was in Homestuck since the beginning for those who had their eyes open.

genuinely wheezing laughing at this description of dicken's awful pet with lead poisoning
important thing i forgot to mention: i looked this up bc adam read a thing about how dicken's pet was an inspiration for poe's "the raven" and we were like "well thats not true" but now that ive looked it up, i believe it
Yep! Dickens cited Grip as inspiration for the talking raven in his novel Barnaby Rudge, and Poe was one of its earliest critics (literary critic here being a career title, poe quite liked the work), and he spent time in his review discussing how raven could have been utilized to a stronger effect. Some time later, he used that concept in The Raven.
Dickens was distraught at Grip's passing and had him preserved. He currently resides in the US, in the Free Library of Philadelphia's rare books archive in Pennsylvania and can be visited with appointment.
@hydrofelicity Good stranger, pray do not hide this gem amongst the tags
that all said I will always hear out a pitch about genre subversions like I am certain in my heart that there is someone out there with an idea to change the fate of Hamlet or Orpheus or Juliet etc. that is compelling but the problem is most Tragedy "Subversions" I see are not done with love for the genre and a compelling "what if" question. so often it's "those characters only failed because they're stupid." it's always contempt for the genre! Tragedy is my beautiful wife and nobody deserves her!!!!!
how come you'll say tragedy is your favorite genre and then 100 thousand million people will be like "you should check out this adaptation of this famous tragedy but the twist is there's a happy ending this time." GET THAT AWAY FROM ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how come you'll say tragedy is your favorite genre and then 100 thousand million people will be like "you should check out this adaptation of this famous story of triumph with a happy ending but the twist is there's an egregiously cruel ending this time for no reason and with none of the crucial framework of a true tragedy to make the ending cathartic." GET THAT AWAY FROM ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think we need to appreciate this part of Brennan Lee Mulligan's WIRED interview a lot more:
"The evangelical right in this country needs to manufacture outrage to hold onto its voting block. [The satanic panic about DnD] was arbitrary, as the targets of their outrage always are. Fight the power."
i would really like to see a happy houndoom in your style, you always manage to make the "Scary" pokemon look so friendly still!
First my half-asleep brain mixed up “happy” and “scary” so I ended up doodling this poor houndoom facing a mighty and horrifying enemy
Then for reasons unknown even for myself I decided that adding some borzoi into this madness would somehow fix my mistake. It didn’t but at that point I just gave up.
I swear to God, if someone were to trap 2 million animals, deprive them of food and water, and kill 50,000 of them, the world would be shaken by this catastrophe and brutality.
What's happening is unbelievable, illogical. We are human beings... human beings!!

"stop talking about (racism and bigotry) you're making the fandom too negative!!" <- someone who's happiness in fandom I never cared about in the first place
The self centered nature of it...."don't talk about what makes you upset because it's ruining my fun" like sorry but until I stop being called slurs idc how much joy you're deriving from fandom if your joy hinges on my not being able to talk about being harassed stalked and called the hard r n word!! Multiple times!!
why is it people of color talking about racism that's ruining your uwu perfect fandom experience and not the racism itself
