ppl go "altcallie is the saint to dirks devil" ----> i look at jade and jake and go hnnnnnnnnnn are you sure about that
@holytomater yeah like. We really only have altcallie's word that she's trying to prevent dirk's villainy. Her treatment of two entire jade harleys tells us a lot about that not being entirely accurate.
@SophiaSurname homestuck has a very interesting relationship to character statements vs a character's true intent and i'm really astonished that is so often overlooked!!!
@holytomater altcallie hates jake because she doesnt understand him at all and doesnt know how to write him and she "loves" jade in so much as she sees an opportunity to project into jade all her insecurities without taking anything jade cares about into account. alt!callies fucked up
@dogexmachina now this is an interesting lens to read with... I agree tbh, she only hides her hand under the guise of neutrality much better, but shes not a blank slate
@dogexmachina @holytomater alt callie has jade as her self insert and she shipped her self with dave strider. typical self insert
@worstGirlEva @dogexmachina THIS IS SO DEPRESSING
@holytomater @dogexmachina muses will give everyone a happy ending and ship their self insert with dave strider and be like "can't help being a scorpio."
jade's body being puppeteered though multiple dimensions as a necessary evil to callie's desires and jake being loathed so much he's gets hit with the tricksterpop on command and called an idiot all the way through
