I mean, I wouldn’t exactly phrase it as “internalized homophobia”. If John was in a transition period on his romantic feelings, then yeah, I get it. He is 13, he has all the time he wants to change his mind. If he wants to like boys in the future, or be bisexual that leans more to girls, go for it. But for right now, if he isn’t interested in boys, he isn’t interested in boys. Maybe later in the series after that point in their battle, sure, but not right now. Or at least, that is now I feel about it.

I think I would want to be red or black, since they look the coolest and they have decent powers based on what I saw. For spirit…I actually wouldn’t matter what the spirit would look like for me. But power wise, anything that can get me to fly. Like transformation of my body to have wings or claws. And I would like to have as a tool, because I would like to have a separate entity for the spirit’s privacy. For a tool, I would like it to be something like a keychain. Easy to hold on to, and the design can make it easier to treat the spirit like a spirit and not just an object

Oh you are evil, I accept your challenge. You have no idea how hard this was. So the character I like the best is Karkat, so here are the 5 things for Equius and Karkat.

Things I like about Equius

  1. I do like his dedication for a cause. Do I hate that it is directed at something fucking awful as blood supremacy, ye. Yes I do. But I also can’t help respect him for his loyalty for this either. He is ride or die for the hierarchy, like a knight to a king. So I can respect that.

  2. I do like his tenacity. He has rage for days, but his fight scenes against monsters with nothing but fists was pretty col. I can’t argue with his skill

  3. (Fucking kill me for this) His coy nature when trying out his kink. Like, he gets nervous talking about his kink or being called out on it. And to see him put himself out there to see if anyone wants to help in his fantasies, that does take some courage to do. I like this side of him because this way I know even in his hardest thick-headedness of castest bullshit and anger issues, he still has a timid and softer side to him that makes him more well-rounded as a character

  4. and on the subject, after looking back…..he doesn’t actually do it without people’s consent. Let’s be clear, I will always hate forcing roleplay on someone who doesn’t want it/doesn’t know. But…when Equius was roleplaying with Gamzee he asked for it. He specifically asked Gamzee directly for roleplaying. When talking with Aradia, he originlly tried to keep things professional as leader but the situation got too much for him to handle. While we can totally argue on whether uninformed consent is real consent (And I am sure Gamzee has no idea what exactly the type of roleplay he was doing) at least Equius asked permission. So that is a positive thing for him.

  6. I do like how he gets so up his ss on ordering people round that it takes him completely be surprise that people will do as he says. Like, every time. That’s funny

Things I hate about Karkat (this is super hard to write out)

  1. I hate how he uses the word Bulge. I’m sorry but the way Karkat uses it it just doesn’t work or something. It always annoys me.

  3. I hate his anger. I know that Karkat is a big angry boy, but I hate how he always seems to lash out at everyone he comes across. Hell, even at himself with those future memos. There are some cases I get why, like Karkat being angry for John destroying his home, but most of the time it is just perpetual anger just because. Like, at times when he gets embarrassed and hisses like an angry cat, I get it. But he is angry all the time, without and specific reason, and if he was a really person, I don’t know if I would be around him for long

  4. Karkat’s apparent God Complex. How he needs to be in command and take control and be an ass about it. I know that he can be a decent leader, like what Terezi and future Karkat says, but when he gets so power hungry it makes me want to bang my head on the desk.

  5. I still hate how he treated Jade. I’m sorry, I get how he dislikes John for his hate-love SPADES feelings, but that does not excuse the awful things he said about Jade. Especially when there seems to be no point other than to insult her.

  6. I hate Karkat’s inferiority complex. I get the blood trash thing, but it is because of that that is lead to his actions. He let it get so into ingrained into his head that he felt like he had to hide himself away, and lash at anyone who approaches. Literally everything that I hate about Karkat

In all honesty, I didn’t think there was one, because I didn’t think they would win.

Not to say they didn’t “defeat” the game or anything. But in my mind, I assumed that the game was eternal. When when a null session was created, it would just perpetually trap them within a time loop to repeat the game without ever realizing it. And if they won…well…the loop would still happen. They would be sent back in time, or transformed, or something, unable to escape.

Like, there was never an end. The purpose of the game was to keep them trapped in the game, to keep them in that loop forever because they can. And the whole point of Homestuck was to see the kids break out of that loop.

How people managed to figure that one out without help is beyond me. I tried to do the head tilt, but to have the negative space and read it bottom-up, damn that is complex.

I do know the translation of said code: YOUR RETURN CHANGES NOTHING, SCHEMER. MY MASTER DOES NOT FEAR BROKEN GODS and ARROGANCE. YOUR POWER IS NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF. RIDDLES AND WORD GAMES.“ 

So we have a powerhouse going on here. If we look at the context again:

Doorman’s boss is a woman, someone who knows Snake well. Or someone Snake knows. And she seems to be injured or affected in some way/shape/form. And while Snake may no longer be in control, he still has power. Enough for Doorman to still fear.

Honestly this one of the most interesting scenes by far
