it’s funny to me because I think the most damning evidence for transmasc nepeta is in act 6 act 6 intermission 5, when she is roped into a date by a deranged lonely lesbian who clearly doesn’t see her as a person and just as a a possible girlfriend (sorry Jasprose) (continued in next trill)

@kate yeah.

I will say it’s not like i care very much or am upset by the nepeta femslash as long as people aren’t pretending they’re a better or more interesting alternative to the complex relationships between women that ACTUALLY exist in canon. bc there are many girls that are nepetas at age 13 that end up growing up into gay girls (like me!). however there are also many other girls who are nepetas at age 13 who grow up into gay boys… which is why I’m very endeared to Anthy’s trans man nepetas.

she's not important to my kin "selfhood" now really, nor was she the character in homestuck i related to the most, even. but it feels like a disservice to horribly awkward child joey to not grant her a spot on the onions, bc at a very young age i saw the similarities and felt them deeply. it's a testament to andrew hussie that even a throwaway character can be such an almost uncomfortably accurate portrayal of a very real type of child

i feel differently about nepeta than many nepeta kinnies i see. i don't wish that nepeta was more developed or narratively important, and i don't seriously think of the various femslash ships people stick her in as meaningful or terribly interesting at all. i just remember being an very autistic child who thought a lot about romance in very autistic ways and who sometimes felt peripheral to things in my circle and my reaction to first encountering nepeta as a character when i was that age

Jett: “And a thousand transgenders touch their pussies for the first time…”
Vriska: “WHAT?!!!”
Jett: “Have you not seen that screenshot?”
Vriska: NO!”

this also happens to be the one coworker who has asked me “did you girlfriend name herself after a Homestuck character” and then said they have avoided ever reading homestuck because of the fandom so we really are the same level of online

they were clearly upset that they had to explain this, not in a way where they were upset with me just like tired of the whole thing and tired of people not knowing what this person had done and I was just thinking to myself “I know this specific emotion you’re showing so exactly, and I’m so sorry my offhand comment triggered these feelings in you”

today I mentioned I liked a book description I saw and my also very online nonbinary coworker who is friends with some published authors told me “too bad the author is a terrible racist person who started a harassment campaign against one of my author friends about a book the they wrote”… my coworker had a whole list of things this person had said and done and I think I just experienced what my irls must experience when they try to talk to me about the homestuck fandom

@beatrix GENDERFLUID ANY PRONOUNS FTW… we’re so cool. love you and proud of you

Mom sent me this. I know she is trying to be helpful but she also just eviscerated me

“I could make the Vast Error of Twin Peaks… using all the same signifiers and such, but having it be something different. If the Homestuck Epilogues is Twin Peaks: The Return, then what is the Vast Error of Twin Peaks?” - Vriska

if lup and I made a kin chart it would just be a circle. with jade and kanaya and utena and pluto hwbm. I’ve also been assigned princess bubblegum who lup kins. we may as well throw her in there too.

@beatrix oh i feel the same way i've been off it for too long. this fucking shortage.

bc maybe if everything works out i will have been in person with alary, jenny, vriska, skylar, celeste, valerie, mahla, bq, lup, callista, jett, rory, diamond, julia, and possibly even helen and michael all this year. 2020-2021 me could never have imagined this happening.

really love all the partners and friends i've made online in the past four years. not to sound silly but my heart is so full rn.

"i love talking about oompa loompa with you but can we unpause andor" - my poor wife who wants the adderall shortage to end so i can stay on one topic pls

wktd spoilers

laughing about how if you put glasses on neptune from we know the devil she looks like my girlfriend vriska.
