A homestuck sideblog; i like meta and genfic probably too much; my faves include terezi and jade; i think that the greater part of homestuck is objectively trash; i write sometimes; sj inclined. Tracked tag hypotheticalanomaly.

Under the cut: my palamedes' sollux DNA proof, recently unearthed while rummaging through tazmuir's fanfic for vrisrezi quotes (vote vrisrezi here!).

@diamond-rings-and-gutter-bones as per request. (note if you want to see me talk more about tlt or post with any regularity you'll have to find me at my main at @augerer!)

Also please note I've turned off reblogs on this post because I don't want to be misconstrued as trying to get into discourse about tlt being homestuck fanfic with the serial numbers filed off, which for the record i think is completely untrue. although as you've been mentioned i think you can reblog if you'd like to reply!

why take my word for it? VRISREZI QUOTES FROM TAMSYN MUIR:

  1. the context here in this fanfic is that after terezi ("you") has to kill vriska ("she") in order to save the rest of their friends, and then she's having a horrible time and goes into the room with vriska's body where she starts hallucinating vriska sitting up and talking to her. (classic tamsyn muir).

2. The serendipity gospels is usually thought of the fanfic where terezi gets into an insane situationship with gamzee but it has some crazy vriska/terezi moments that have haunted me for years. see:

(Terezi is the speaker)

(Terezi is once again the speaker)

anyway its so fr to say vrisrezi is griddlehark's mother. i'm saying this having loved griddlehark since i preordered gideon the ninth months before it was released, which i only did because i liked tamsyn muir's homestuck fanfic: vote vrisrezi.

it's so fucking funny the way vriska's narration is written. it's literally designed to rewire the brains of teenage boys. "she guesses it's flattering that you want to be her though. she guesses she doesn't mind. it's cool." "you wish you could be her. oh wait, you are her!" literally no survivors

Not to show my entire ass and post homestuck but like

They literally weren’t oh my god this is why Z from Psycholonials is literally hussies own damn self now probably (tags by @dash-n-step)

Don't know why you're all worried about losing icons, I feel that there's an easy way to tell. Your friends apart.

What if we all make our text and individual colour to us ans maybe mix up the way we type in an way to really make us stand out

to clarify- the writer of tlt didn’t write homestuck fan fiction, she read it but she said she was actually more into the fandom for some video game i forget the name of and that was what she wrote fanfic (like a lot of fanfic) of back in the day. i’m telling you this bc i’m a pedant. if tlt is a fanfic of something it’s that video game, probably. idk i never read(played?) homestuck or that video game. people just kinda hooked onto her having read homestuck bc it’s funny and it spiraled from there. anyway i’m sorry ur asks are like this.

ok hilarious for anon to be saying these untruths on THE website of primary source witnesses for these events.  in case anyone is wondering what interview anon has fatally misinterpreted though it is this one specifically this response:

Speaking of which, you were an active member of a few fandoms. Are there any you’ve specifically drawn inspiration from for this series?
I started out in Animorphs fandom (shout-out to TCDB) and spent most of my life in Final Fantasy fandom, although I know I’m very associated with Homestuck! To be honest, it was Final Fantasy that taught me everything I knew, because fandom looked so different there—for one thing there was a much more even spread in terms of gender, and a sense of struggle for who ‘owned’ the fandom (back then it was definitely a kind of touchy ‘GIRLS DON’T PLAY VIDEO GAMES’ so every bedraggled video-gaming girl kind of huddled in one place together, oozing sympathy). The humour side of fandom—and God bless every part of fandom that turns out parodies—was a kind of Venn diagram. I read through Fritz Fraundorf and Uncreativity like my life depended on it. There was this sense you could do anything. Being in Final Fantasy fandom was so weird in the first place that it didn’t matter that you had someone churning out a long, detailed band AU where Cloud Strife was a bassist when on the other hand you had a hard mil-SF take on SeeD and Garden where Squall Leonhart was basically doing Space Vietnam. (And the ship wars happened no matter what. We were all obsessed back then with whose ship had the most EVIDENCE. These scars? *EXHALES* They come from the Cloud/Tifa, Cloud/Aeris wars.)
We read everything, we wrote everything, genre had very little meaning. I feel this has had a huge impact on me and my writing now. Nobody gave a hot shit if you were writing a grimdark zombie apocalypse Kingdom Hearts story or a thing about Zidane doing a bakeoff. People only cared about Ships. Which was bad in a different way, but as no pitch requires you to admit what side of the Cid/Vincent line you were on, all writing after Final Fantasy is freeing.
I spent a couple years in Homestuck and it was a very fun time—it’s great to be in a community watching something drop, it was wonderful to be on Tumblr, and I think that fandom produced an disproportionate amount of SFF genre pros. I don’t think I took anything specific from it, though, except that Gideon Nav is absolutely wearing Dave Strider’s sunglasses.
