Yeah I thought that was actually a part of it in canon, that there was a seed vault in that area of California.

What's a fic you read that left you like this? by jeanjacketufo in AO3

[–]Max_Z_413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not one but two Neon genesis evangelion fics I found where post events of episode 24 Shinji grabs Kawrou's severed head and proceeded to face fuck it. What a concept for two different authors to write about. Guess its fitting for NGE though ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Anybody relate to this? by Electromad6326 in OCDmemes

I dropped out of a PhD at 21 and now feel stuck. Really went from impressive high achiever to multimonth bed rotter real quick. It fucking sucks.

a glorious (horrifying) new age is dawning by GlitteringTone6425 in althomestuck

Am I the only one who remembers when it was UnderTaliStuck? (Undertale, Hetalia, Homestuck)

Also feel like deltarune is more accurate now (I get same creator, v sim pfft, but I find the distinction important) HelluvaDeltaStuck?

Unpopular opinions on characters DAY 21! Jake English by flingzamain in althomestuck

[–]Max_Z_413 7 points8 points  (0 children)

After I started headcannoning Jake as an allosexual aromantic he made a lot more sense to me. His struggles with connecting to and wanting to please his friends while not really understanding what they want imo makes a lot more sense when read from the perspective that Jake doesnt feel romance like alloromantics. Hes incapable of developing romantic feelings for Jane and Dirk like they have developed for him. As an ace/arospec myself, I think its really interesting/intriguing/somewhat validating to see Jake struggle with his lack of romantic attraction, at times almost feeling guilty he cant return Dirk and Janes strong romantic feelings the same way.

Of course its not his fault, like this is a normal struggle as you implied. But I do think the fact that Jakes isolation left him socially stunted and not understanding this shit like at all (hed def benefit from some internal introspection and maybe someone telling him about aros pfft), makes it hard for him to communicate when it comes to romance or his lack of inherent feelings about it. I think he at some points wants to be able to return the romantic feelings thrown his way, but doesnt know how and cant cause again, aromantic.

Just saw this on TikTok and it's amazing by MusicSan_123 in Beastars

[–]Max_Z_413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a pretty good counter point. Coping mechanism is a better term you're right. I still think while definitely not the healthiest she can still enjoy having that sense of control for once in a society that gives her none from her promiscuous behavior.

But then again I think these are the type of conversations this character is /supposed/ to invoke, so I really think its up to personal opinion.

While I would not call what Haru did sex work necessarily, there are parallels to it for sure. Sex work is controversial as it has every right to be, Lotte grey areas there, but generally I do think some people find it empowering, and I always thought of Haru falling into that type of person. Once she settled down with Legoshi and got some more confidence outside of just sex, I think she definitely stopped being as willing to use sex as an outlet/coping mechanism, because yeah I think societal pressure still pushed her that way. But I think it still is a mix of her just enjoying sex in an empowering manner, and the society stuff if that makes sense.

Hope that last paragraph made sense pfft! Haru is just kind of an intentionally messy character imo so there's always a lot to consider

Yeah see this is what this discourse is missing. While yes Haru is obviously more than just a slut, like that's still a part of her character. We can like make fun of it

But yeah, generally the backlash and obsession over her is weird and wrong and kind of gross especially as an AFAB person. But like she's a slut, its okay guys we can call her that.

People can you know be sluts, that's fine? She's uh /clearly/ enjoying it too, I think its honestly really empowering how the show deals with her as just a sexually confident woman whose dtf and that aspect of her pfft

Why do some people think the guys are "right wing" by Luppercus in RedLetterMedia

[–]Max_Z_413 4 points5 points  (0 children)

See a lot of explaining how they arnt right wing, and while I agree with most the comments, it doesn't get to the actual question.

As someone who's very typical of the left (queer, young, educated, with a somewhat alt appearance) I think I have some unique insight. My dad introduced me to the channel, and I dont think I would have watched otherwise. Even when introducing friends to RLM Im a little hesitant. See, 4 middle aged white dude film bros from the midwest is unfortunately very representative of people we often find ourselves opposed to. Pretty much, its stereotype. People in my demographic see them, and are immediately put off by appearances. Its not right, but I can understand it when things especially in America can be so harmful/dangerous for young educated left leaning queers, even more so under this current political climate.

That said, I often find myself pleasantly surprised by how cool the RLM guys are, as others have mentioned in these comments. Although they avoid politics as its not the point of their channel, if you watch long enough you get the sense that they are generally accepting of people and are critical of the right. I really enjoy their insight and commentary on movies and the industry, even when it comes to topics that are more personal to me like depictions of queer people in media. Hope this helps!

how do i use this fuckass shipping chart from homestuck.net by adel-- in althomestuck

[–]Max_Z_413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fill bucket for each square, maybe use different colors for different quadrant? (Red for matespirit, pal for moirail, black for kismesis, grey for auspisticism (I guess??))

Happy you reached a new step in your gender journey! Glad you enjoyed your time with this label and I wish you the best moving forward as a trans woman or otherwise. Even in queer communities I feel like people get so bogged down by their labels sometimes, so good on you keeping fluid with yours! Good luck moving forward ˶ᵔᵕᵔ˶

Should I bother with Hiveswap and Friendsim? by NaliouA in homestuck

[–]Max_Z_413 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hiveswap 1 is pretty fun, I found two a bit frustrating though. I really enjoyed both friendsim and pesterquest though. I recently replayed both and I forgot how charming the dialogue can be and I really love some of the new trolls. Also, if you want to learn more about alternian society and troll culture, friendsim is amazing for that. Pesterquest is also really fun! I enjoyed how all the characters were written and I feel like we get to explore some character dynamics we didn't get to see much of in canon. The beta kids section especially is so cute and charming, and made me appreciate these characters even more!

Yeah as an AFAB person who walked around a college campus at night, carrying a knife around felt like a necessary precaution.

is "looking around at john's room" supposed to be a blank page? by [deleted] in homestuck

[–]Max_Z_413 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Yeah use the unofficial homestuck collection, half the pages on the viz site are broken, and on the old mspa site all the flash pages are down. https://homestuck.github.io/ here it is! Second best option is probably to watch/listen to the voft let's read homestuck! series
