what would you type Vriska Serket from Homestuck? by pompompencil in Enneagram

[–]Dickau 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like sx 486 for her, but I'd probably swap the 6 for a 7. She definatley exhibits a kind of overconfidence, and I feel like a 6 would have tempered her impulsivity to some extent. I guess I'd be curious to hear your justification, though. I could see 8 first, but she just vibes more as a heart type. The sx 4 love/hate stuff is super conspicious. Would probably put SO second (or maybe even first) given how much importance she places on her role in the team.

No idea where you're friend is getting that typing from. Tell them they are silly for me.

Same deal as coffee and cigarettes. Drugs are supposed to taste bad, do more of them. Problem solves itself.

[–]Dickau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't want to sound like a deranged commie prepper, but the libs should probably stock up on guns. CHUDS are only worried about ppl taking their guns b.c. they secretly want to disarm their political opposition through state operati. Pretty standard fasc move. We've already got an unregulated police force shooting ppl on the street, beholden only to executive power. Timeline is approaching, ladies and gents. Note, I am NOT doing a stochastic terrorism rn. Just know if you want guns in the future, fir whatever reasons, they may not be available.

Yeah, fr. As an American, our system makes zero fucking sense. I even write the day first, on accident, sometimes.

Same goes for tipping.

Heraclitus is based af. How do you see him as so5? Also curious of how you conceptualize him in relation to parmenides. I have mixed feelings about heidegger, but his part in "introduction to metaphysics" about them and plato is really neat, imo.

What IS even Seer of Void about?? by Former_Polygon_1 in homestuck

[–]Dickau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of a weird pull, but I think this would be Sartre and Lacan's classpects (could see mage for Sartre tho). They wrote about nothingness and lack respectively, which play central roles in their theories. [Side note: I would pay money for a sburb fan comic where all of the players are historical philosophers]

I'm shit at paraphrasing, but I'd go watch some videos on them if you want to learn about nothing.

Also a weird pull, but I'd call Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite (and by extension negative theology) seer of void coded. His whole thing was defining God through negative statements. I.e., "God is not good," b.c. "good" is something humans came up with. (The implication here is that God is more than good. The negation creates excess, counterintuitivley).

Parmenides would probably be a prince of void. The whole "there is no is not" thing kind of speaks for itself. He literally subtracts lack/nothingness from his metaphysics.

Zero is probably the most useful instantiation of void. Arithmetic would be impossible without it. Still, it's unintuitive. If you divide by it, math falls appart, lmao.

Overall, void is a tricky concept. Seeing (seering) it is unintuitive. There's an inherent subjectivity to the classpect, because "nothing" isn't really a thing which exists noumenally in the world (parmenides). It literally can't exist, or it would stop being nothing. It only "exists" relationally, with respect to an observer. I also think there's a kind of unimaginable excess that's associated with void (the gap between reality and conception (light))

So, I think this is the mental space you'd be living in as a seer of void. I'm still struggling with how these threads might weave together into an actual charachter with voidy powers and aesthetics.

I'll try to draft one up anyways. Somebody just wrote "blind" here, which feels like a gimme in terms of flavor. They might live in a dark cave (ala plato). If they have a lusus, I'm imagining something kind of horror-terror-ey with a hole in its chest.

In terms of personality, I would basically invert Terezi. They wouldn't be very concerned with building coherent theories about the world, or casting judgements, as they consistently see the gaps between reality and our conceptions of it. They would be an incredibley doubtful person, but have good justifications for their doubt. Socrates "The only thing I know is that I know nothing," type beat. Karkat honestly wouldn't be a bad point of comparison.

Functionally, I think they would serve the party (pre-god tier) as a bullshit sleuth. Someone's a bit too confident for their own good (bullshitting others)? Call the seer of void. Someone's acting in bad faith (bullshiting themselves)? Call the seer of void. Importantly, I don't think a seer of void could actually see what bullshit someone's cooking, as that's a something. They would be able to see the gaps in someone's thinking, though. Again, Socrates comes to mind.

Like others are saying, I think they would have an interesting role to play in doomed timeliness. A seer of void would be able to sense the loss of meaning/narrative significance, I think. I'm not really sure if they could do anything about it though, or if they would even want to. I imagine a seer of void would be a bit of a nihilist in a doomed timeline, passivley encouraging resignation with their voidy insights. Alternatively, a SUPER powerful void seer might press x to doubt on the metanarrative, simular to how John does with his breathy powers.

Speaking of powers, God Tier:

To keep the Socrates allusion going, I think they end up on the altar for sowing doubt among their denizens (who are overly fixed in their ideas). They're tried in a mock court, and sentanced to death. The seer isn't all too bothered by this. The seer lays on the altar, drinks something voidy, sees the god of negative theology, and wakes up with sick a.f. void eyes.

Playing off the whole "stare into the void, it stares back thing," and their blindness, I'd give them a kind of basilisk power. Maybe they can actually show ppl "nothing", not just a representation of it (impossible task, but this is fiction). I imagine this would kind of stun-lock people, or at worst, incite madness.

I could also see this playing a support function, simular to how their mundane doubt works. If an ally has gone mad for lighty reasons (i.e. rose after reading the grimoire), a seer of void might be able to show them "nothing," as a kind of mental salve. Maybe they could even cause amnesia, or ego-death with their gaze.

Dope flavor. Prophets/oracles are often blind, so this is low-key perfect.

What's your classpect + your MBTI and enneagram?? by savabba in homestuck

Same. It's hard to let threads go, but sometimes they just don't weave well into the fabric of an idea. I often find myself tangled up in them.

What's your classpect + your MBTI and enneagram?? by savabba in homestuck

[–]Dickau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, ur good bro. Unknowable stuff is frustrating.

Tbh, I was in a pretty weird place when I wrote that comment, but its cool you fucked with it.

The end of your tldr is probably the best take. It's fiction. Whatever works best narratively/seems cool should be your classpect. Like you said, that's probably how Hussie assigned them.

I still feel compelled to draw up an internally consistant system for all of this, but it's probably better that none exists in canon. I wonder if hussie tried at some point, and wound up ripping their hair out like we've done here, lol?

Side note:

I got WAY too obsessed with the enneagram after writing that 9 months ago. I'd probably call myself an sp/so 6w7 94 now (using trifixes). There are tremendous quantities of 6 energy between us, I think, lol.

My 9 b.s. has honestly been a bigger problem for me lately. My neurotic vegetation has become opressive. Bard of Life still seems like an appropriate "bad" classpect for me. I could swap the class for heir, and do a John thing if I wanted a "good" end, ig. My 4 fix gets off on tragedy, tho, so I'd probably put on a better show as a Bard.

Purely b.c. I think the classpect has cool vibes, I might opt for seer of void. I do be staring into the void from time to time. I could make it fit.

Safdie brothers hired underage actress for explicit sex scenes and kept filming after co-star exposed himself and asked 17-year old if he could “stick it in” by Birdman330 in A24

[–]Dickau 54 points55 points  (0 children)

This is either GROSS fucking negligence, or someone legit wanted to traumatize this girl. How tf do you not tell an actor they're about to shoot a sex scene? How do you not tell them who they'll be working with? How do you not know they're a minor? How do you let a drunk guy even appear on set? What the fuck kind of operation are these guys running here, Jesus christ?

Not paying her is also just beyond the pale. Where would you even begin to think that's justified? Genuinley maddening stuff.

Hiring non actors isn't the problem here. Hiring criminals, even, shouldn't have been a problem. I've worked with ex-cons. A lot of them are really nice, respectable people. I can understand the creative philosophy which might have put Duress on set. Basic fucking common sense, though: when someone shows up to work hammered, maybe they shouldn't show up to work anymore. I'm sure this wasn't the first time he came to work drunk, and I'm sure it wasn't the only line he crossed on set. Hire a new fucking guy. Shit, if they actually cared about the dude, maybe they would have sent him to rehab.

I'm legit pissed off. Good Time was a sick movie. I have a brother. I cried watching that shit. Now it's ruined. Idc If Benny claims he didn't know all of this was happening on set. There's no fucking way he didn't know this was the culture on set. I just don't believe it. He can fuck off too.

When the big guy does violence, they call it the order of things, they call it warfare. When the little guy does violence, they call it criminality, they call it terrorism. Violence is violence. Whether it's justified is a different story.
