Complaining about people having fun. 1/05/24
sometimes i see people with homestuck quadrants in their bios and i wonder if they really believe that stuff or if they're doing it for fun
every day i pray it's for fun
every day
i think some people misunderstand what specific quadrants mean
and that trolls are very specifcally written in text as a violent species
like remarkably more violent than humans
hussie says explicitly that the purpose of moirallegience is to pacify a dangerous partner
like
more violent trolls are attracted soulways to more even tempered trolls
so they don't kill people
they still do it doesn't really solve a whole lot
they also says that trolls in a moirallegience usually even each other out
seen most clearly with karkat and gamzee
karkat is loud and shouty and gamzee (at first) seems like his more even tempered partner
until gamzee goes nuts (via manipulation from lil cal) and karkat in turn pacifies HIM
it's great
but i see people with like diamonds in their bio (diamonds are the moirallegience sign) and i kind of have to wonder if they either
don't know what it means
skimmed through the big ramble about troll romance
or are just doing it for fun
OR if they actually are just a remarkably violent person
and need someone else to even them out
and i don't think hussie intended this to happen either
that's right
psycholonials time
psycholonials (for those who don't know) is this nutty clown novel hussie wrote in 2020 during The Covid Era
about like a clown revolution
and it's effects
it looks like complete shit
i love it
i've read the whole thing
psycholonials spoilers i guess i know none of you guys give a single shit about it / are going to read it but lol lmao
in the epilogue chapter zhen (main character, former juggalo homestuck revolution leader, current married to wife yaoihead(?)) is reflecting on joculine (former acquaintance, (joculine attempted a to have kismesissitude (hate spades mortal enemies that make out relationship) between her and zhen) continues to try to get zhen to notice her to no avail, zhen eventually has to old yeller her because she becomes a problem to her clown revolution)
and she says "actually its the only thing about this that makes me feel kinda sad about her. all that posturing and connivingā¦ i think the only explanation is she just liked me the whole time, and wanted me to notice her. or maybe more likeā¦ hate-liked me? bear in mind the fandoms we used to roll in were pretty wack, and gave us all some weird ideas about human interaction and romance"
psycholonials is in part a reflection of hussie's feelings leading a huge fandom (metaphorilized via zhen's huge clown revolution)
so
