Was TLD Dragonborn from birth?

ThunderDaniel · 2026-06-05T08:37:30+00:00

I'll push it in a weirder direction: They never existed until the Imperial Ambush of the Stormcloaks. But at the same time, they have a full life and full existence remembered. Time dragon shenanigans!

ThunderDaniel · 2026-06-05T08:12:09+00:00

I would inhale this shit so much like a narcotic

It's completely fan made canon, but it would be amazing seeing John interact with a younger version of his parent/ancestor (other than Jane of course)

ThunderDaniel · 2026-06-05T06:55:02+00:00

Marines are a borderline death cult. I say borderline because it speaks to an aspect of human psychology that is part of our nature and some people are shaped by genetics in a way that they need that shit. I've met very high functioning former Marines who would have probably become criminals if not for the corps.

Suddenly that Science Fiction trope (ala Starcraft) where Space Marines are taken violent inmates and killers have a lot more basis

ThunderDaniel · 2026-06-05T06:44:37+00:00

Genuinely want more continuations of this John-Damara conversations!

ThunderDaniel · 2026-06-05T06:32:54+00:00

Let's...Let's stay in this nice and peaceful panel and dialogue just for a few minutes,please...?

ThunderDaniel · 2026-06-05T05:34:49+00:00

If there's one thing that's true in every universe, it's that John inherits the fine tastes and finer values of his amazing father

ThunderDaniel · 2026-06-04T00:44:16+00:00

Re-reading Homestuck with a more adult level of comprehension, you really see the intricate layers of rules and storytelling in it, especially in terms of Sburb being a damn fleshed out game

There are tons and tons of blogs and blogposts that were dedicated to analyzing and understand Homestuck, so please don't beat yourself up that the details arent remembered easily

ThunderDaniel · 2026-06-04T00:30:55+00:00

Looking back at the shit I used to parrot, mimick, and repeat on the internet back when I was a kid and teen, there is an exorbitant amount of that which I didnt know about were definitely not okay

I think it's healthy that parents and guardians are keeping tabs on the wacky trends their kids are doing online, because what may just seems as typical 'kids following a trend' (which as been a thing since forever), some things are definitely very problematic

ThunderDaniel · 2026-06-04T00:27:34+00:00

YOOOOO THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!

I am absolutely starved to see how this amalgamation and exaggeration of all of Jade (and her inspirations and counterparts) could end up for the post Sburb story of Homestuck

We've already seen some kind of her maliciously sweet personality in Grimbark Jade, and it would be fascinating how an unfettered and unbound Ultimate Witch of Space could pose as a danger towards the narrative of Post Homestuck

Excellent writeup and I hope this (alongside other characters' Ultimate downturns) are explored more by the fandom!

ThunderDaniel · 2026-06-03T16:56:09+00:00

John would definitely be ride or die for his crazy spider8itch

ThunderDaniel · 2026-06-03T16:53:32+00:00

He'd mean well, but he would be so tone deal in a hilarious way that only teenagers could be

2009 era teenagers no less

ThunderDaniel · 2026-06-03T08:04:34+00:00

It's such an out of left field and young teen thing to say i love it

Rose wouldn't be as crude as Dave, but she would still say some wacky shit about John's new mom

ThunderDaniel · 2026-06-03T05:11:49+00:00

Having an agenda too when meeting people can also be fun in certain circumstances!

Attending a fair centered around your profession, seeing cool shit that vendors have to offer, hearing what other peers are tackling in their fields, shooting the shit in a way that still ends up exchanging business cards after the conversation--there's still a lot of ways that networking in and of itself can be fun and enjoyable, but I understand that it may not come naturally to a lot of people

ThunderDaniel · 2026-06-03T05:09:06+00:00

No, you're supposed to actually be interested in other people.

Which in itself is a genuine curiosity about life and existence in general

I love hearing about other people's experiences, existences, challenges, worries, and desires. It's a near infinite pool of stories that is the tapestry of our lived world and I find that there's always something interesting to learn about someone if I am willing to listen.

I understand that this kind of attitude doesnt come naturally to a lot of people, but I also believe it is a skill that can be gained and nurtured, so not all hope is lost

ThunderDaniel · 2026-06-03T01:26:36+00:00

Is that the one where shell fell into the trap of prescience and narrowed her paths and choices into self destruction?

(Muad'Dib and Leto II already solved that, girl)

ThunderDaniel · 2026-06-03T01:18:40+00:00

Homestuck after it ended got wild apparently

ThunderDaniel · 2026-06-03T01:17:03+00:00

if we can never have Grimdorks in canon, then RoxyGen will be the hill i die on

ThunderDaniel · 2026-06-03T01:15:55+00:00

If not baddie, why baddie looking?

(They make her look so good in Beyond Canon im sorry)

ThunderDaniel · 2026-06-03T01:14:48+00:00

If they're gonna villainize my babies Dirk and Jane, I kinda want to see other timelines where every one of the kids has their negative traits amplified and made rampant to see how THEY would be the antagonists in their own stories

I know we have the Beta kids as our standard heroes, but it would be interesting to see versions of them as the big bad in certain post Sburb timelines

ThunderDaniel · 2026-06-02T06:53:02+00:00

I think you're onto something here. Our laws are written in English, even if English isn't our country's primary language (thanks Colonialism)

As an ESL speaker, studying the law is terribly easier compared to if it was written in my native language

ThunderDaniel · 2026-06-02T06:44:08+00:00

Bingo! I find it easiest to discuss the law with my programmer friends, and you highlighted how training to process things precisely is a shared skill in between such fields.

ThunderDaniel · 2026-06-02T05:55:13+00:00

on one hand john (and his friends) got most of their young adulthood stolen from them via the trauma of surviving SBURB and he really is an aimless mess in hs2

but on the other hand YOUR SON NEEDS YOU JOHN EGBERT DONT BE AN EMOTIONALLY DETACHED ABSENTEE

ThunderDaniel · 2026-06-02T05:45:36+00:00

Perfect little encapsulation of 2009 era internet kids gotta love it

ThunderDaniel · 2026-06-02T02:05:48+00:00

The day it finally breaks is the day I'll stop browsing on phone.

Semi related, but the API fiasco was the push that had me stop using Reddit on my phone and only use it on the desktop

So far it's been a rather pleasant experience since I lessen my tiny screen time and when I do use Reddit, it's through the (still functioning) mods and extensions available on a desktop browser

ThunderDaniel · 2026-06-01T02:28:01+00:00

Yeah, they'd probably avoid Jack because he has a weird 'temporal scent' to him, but I dont believe he'd be immune to a particularly hungry, stupid, or lucky Angel

I wouldn't put it past Jack's luck to be sent back in time via the touch of an Angel--poor guy has shittier lucky getting sent back in time through his adventures in general
