the argument that the plot point superweapon is going to be a portal of some kind is pretty convincing and i feel like that does mean theres a non zero chance it will connect with hiveswap in some way. which would have pissed me off in the past but with how good hs2 has been lately i think they could even pull it off. it would have to be done REALLY well though

stop leaving comments like "psh the fandom really thought this? 😏 i thought something a lot smarter than that" on my posts only im allowed to act that smug and only about very specific things
#'sburb has two girls and two boys so they can repopulate the human race' wasnt even a weird fandom thing#like the text teased it pretty blatantly

the way hussie really did trick thousands of webcomic geeks into thinking the equal ratios of male to female characters was something to do with repopulating the earth when it was really just a vehicle for getting more women into the story all along

i wonder if aranea confirming outright in act 6 that trolls reproduce bisexually was supposed to be a way of beating the readers over the head with this fact. like, trolls don't even have real sexes idiot!! it was never about reproduction the entire time you rube!! and then we spent years arguing over trolls being "canonically pansexual" instead

i know i'm basically obsessed with talking about how ahead of the curve i always am with regards to pretty much every discourse imaginable - i think i must be one of the last true hipsters on earth - but it must be hard for some of you to imagine how excruciating it was being the only guy pre-2020 to be talking about alternia as a patriarchal society. it was like being galileo arguing with the whole catholic church that the earth orbited the sun

i do love that this post periodically still gets likes because it pretty neatly delineates the beginning of my career of taking homestuck analysis seriously. i wrote this immediately after reblogging my first ever malo post, which definitely flipped some switch in my brain about how you can and can't approach literature. you can draw a clear throughline from this post to all of the analysis i do today. like to the extent that i literally still talk about slime as a symbol of lord english's corrupting influence. the obligatory "but aren't trolls a matriarchy?" comment from 2017...
green slime in Homestuck is an obvious symbol of the patriarch.
everything on patriarchy hellplanet alternia is absolutely saturated with it, from the beds they sleep in (hmm..) to their bathroom appliances and the technology they use.
it’s the substance that typifies the the practice of ectobiology, an act intimately interconnected with fatherhood.
jade, who loses her father, sends a shirt with a green slime on it to john, who loses his grandmother and gets a father instead.
gamzee makara partakes in consuming green slime when his real father figure is absent (an act which could also be seen as a ‘drinking of the kool aid’ of sorts, initiating gamzee’s participation in the patriarchal clown caste that rules alternia).
mangrit is a ‘green slime’ that acts as a contrast to the blue slime of life and motherhood.
what’s really interesting is that beyond this blatant imagery, green - especially bright green of the sort that is associated with alternia and john’s green slime shirt - has always been an explicitly feminine-coded colour within homestuck. it’s the colour associated with the space aspect, and the colour of all the space players, and the colour of the cherub sex associated with the motherly protector. so where does the discrepency come from? how can one accurately distinguish between these polar opposite interpretations of the colour? is there a connection?
actually, yeah; we can pinpoint the moment bright green slime makes the transition from feminine code to patriarchal gunk.
uu: HER PuTRID HARLEQuIN SLIME WILL LEAK FROM HER WOuNDS AND SOAK HER uGLY YELLOW ROBE.
caliborn explicitly identifies the feminine blood of his feminine sister with the masculine nasty mayonnaise that pervades the world he comes to rule. why?
PAINTING MY WORDS IN HER BLOOD. AS A TOKEN OF MY RUTHLESS TRIUMPH.
because he deliberately appropriates the colour for his own use. the coat, the elves, the mansions that all come to be synonymous with his evil patriarchal influence are all painted with the blood of the dead female, as proof of the domination of Man.
what does this symbolise? I dunno. maybe it’s simple; maybe the green of the patriarchy really is just a token of victory over the feminine. an icon of the appropriation of the female form for male use; similar, perhaps, to the scarlet of red of the royal class of alternia. i dunno. i’m still thinking about it.
