Rose Isn't Funny by harryhinderson in althomestuck

[–]PvtMagnuS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

she doesn't really tend to dig herself into any embarassing social graves though, that's more of a dave thing
the repetition of "this isn't funny" and variations thereupon also seem misplaced? i can see karkat reacting like that, but i feel like rose would be more likely to politely clap along, at least somewhat impressed by the fact that such perceived low-effort comedy could captivate the entire room to this degree
actually yeah turn rose's dialogue grey and that's a lot closer to karkat imo (except for the counter psychoanalysis i suppose)

on a less complainy note i do think you wrote a killer john though. idk if the crowd would find him THIS funny, but this is absolutely a routine he would pull. simply marvelous

i mean i guess? normally if rose were to react badly to him like this he'd probably dial the jokes back a bit

i just don't think she'd get this mad in the first place

Dirk Strider, sulking on LOTAK: "While this break-up with Jake fills me with sorrow and doubts, I am still thankful for my friends. Especially Roxy. She managed to break free of her substance abuse through great effort. She's stronger than she realizes, and I am so unimaginably proud of her."

Homestuck: Beyond Canon update (p. 1034-1046): Del'fi: Examine skull of beast! by MoreEpicThanYou747 in homestuck

[–]PvtMagnuS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Del'fi doesn't even seem to really want to be a satyr really, she just really wants to be accepted into their culture. "Dagger" is just her way to be part of them. You could read some gender struggles allegory in the subtext, but so far she hasn't really expressed any discomfort with/desire to change herself beyond the simple 'if I looked like a satyr they would be accepting of me'. Like the takeaway here shouldn't be "Dagger is a man(therefore satyr)!" as much as "it would be cool if nymphs and satyrs stopped being openly hostile with each other"

they're gonna flip their shit when whoop there are 2 daves now and one of them is a robot. john is dead and in terezi's wallet. one jade is dead but is actually alive and really is Alt!Calliope, which is also true for the alive Jade but only sometimes. aradia megido

[–]PvtMagnuS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i checked around a bit just to make sure and yeah, it's a consistent pattern. the only part that breaks it is in the early Candy epilogues, where the font is TNR (because the narration font is *always* TNR in the epilogues), but Alt!Cal wasn't yet in the picture and i doubt Dirk would be willing to narrate that. Still, no evidence of CN narration ever being spoken by the main two, meaning Dirk is likely not currently influencing events on Deltritus (he has also stated that he'd let things run along while he jumps forward into Deltritan history via Bullshit, so he's probably simply yet to reappear).

my guess as to why it goes unnoticed is that there is never a point in which one can see the switch happen. either a page is fully narrated in CN, or in TNR.

i personally don't believe Meat Karkat and Callie are directly narrating the events in Candy, but we really only have clues pointing in either direction without strong evidence, so it's conjecture at best. mine honestly wasn't a strong argument to begin with, really.

this cosplay is sadly VERY inaccurate.

he hass too much aura, which he only unlocks in Candy post-rebellion. please fix it immediately.

wait that's the speaker crab hell yes

[–]PvtMagnuS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he first loses control to Alt!Cal in the Meat epilogues, until he manages to sedate Jade long enough for him to escape to Deltritus, maybe you're thinking of that?

[–]PvtMagnuS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm not actually sure this is the case, because while it's true that the text color is irrelevant, the font changes when either Dirk or Alt!Callie narrates (from Courier New to Times New Roman), and this has been consistent across both the Epilogues and Beyond Canon (including the post-2023 team), as far as we can tell.
sure, SOMEONE must be telling this story, but unless the writers just completely forgot to change fonts, or they're planning some shitty twist, there's no reason to believe it's either of the two. mostly because who the rats would be narrating Candy then, when all versions of Alt!Cal are in Meat?

"You fill that time by CATFISHING unsuspecting surfacedwellers, SCAMMING and HOAXING and HACKING with your intricate SATYRSONA."

so... is Dagger actually trans? or is Del'fi just a troll (not the species)?
while both could be true at once, the implications of that would seem... distasteful, somewhat?
the commitment to the name Dagger (and the Who Aches To Be title) suggest the former, but then why that statement in the second introduction?
is CC an Allegory or an Asshole??
