i am in love with your sollux i think
sollux love party :]
if you’re interested heres some of my personal fondness thoughts on him..
big warning for the mega long read ahead aye
as we alr know sollux's rejection of participation somewhat mirrors dave's rejection of heroism, but even without getting cooked to completion i still find sollux's character v compelling beyond the fourth wall
as someone who doesnt get a pinch of that Protagonist Sparkle to begin with, he can openly say he wants to leave anytime…. and unlike dave, he actually Can leave the scene anytime. but he can never be truly Free from the story via permanent character death like the other trolls.
his irrelevancy is indeed relevant - he’s there so u can point him out.
while his image is intended to be a relic of past internet subculture, his role is not only about hehehaha being a Chad or a 2000s cyberforum 2²chan haxxor ragequit gamebro.
his continued existence also happens to add a Bit to the overarching themes of homestuck! a Bit that gives him longer-lasting thematic relevance compared to the trolls who could’ve had more character potential but didnt get to survive beyond the main story.
the Bit in question:
his defiance contributes to the illusion of agency (treating characters = people with autonomy). he’s “aware” of it, and that recognition is worth noting enough to forcibly keep him alive as both reward and punishment.
considering how his personality & classpect is designed its definitely a very haha thing for hussie to do LOL. he’s made to be op asf so he's resigned to doing dirty work, gradually deteriorating along the way but never truly dying. as fans have mentioned before, him openly rejecting involvement after a while of grim tolerance is like if the sim u were controlling suddenly stopped, looked up and gave u the finger while u were step six into the walkthrough for Every Possible Sim Death Animation.
but since he’s just a sim… the more he hates it, the more you keep him around. if ur sim started complaining abt your whimsical household storyline you’d definitely keep that little fuck.
but yeah i like that sollux is just idling. the significance of his presence being that one dude who's always reliably Somewhere, root core Unchanged, no individual ambitions (possibly due to fear of consequence?), and design-wise: a staple representative product of his time.
compared to dirk's character, who has aged phenomenally well into the present (themes of control + AR + artificial intelligence, clearer exploration around navigating relationships/sexuality, infinite possibilities of self-splinterhood and trait inheritance), sollux's potential is really... contained. bitter. defeatist. limiting and frustrating in the way old tech is.
the world continues moving on to shinier, brighter, more advanced automated things - minimalist and metaverse or whatever but sollux is still here 🧍♂️ going woohoo redblue 3d. (tho personally i imagine his vibe similar to what the kids call cassette futurism on pinterest mixed w more grimy grunge insectoid influences eheh)
conceptually-speaking,
at the foundation of it all, the rapid pace of modern development was built off the understanding of ppl like sollux in the past, who were There actively at work while the dough was still beginning to rise
thats one of the cool things abt the idea of trolls preceding humans! the idea that trolls like sollux excelled back when lots of basic shit still needed to be discovered, building structures like networks and codes from scratch, and humans will eventually inherit and reinvent that knowledge in ways that become so optimized it makes the old manual effort seem archaic, slow, and labour-intensive.
but despite information/resources/shortcuts being more accessible now, much of the new highly-anticipated stuff released on trend still end up unfinished, inefficient, or expiring quickly due to cutting corners under severe capitalistic pressures
meanwhile, some of the old stuff frm past generations of thorough, exploratory and perfectionistic development still remains working, complete, and ever so sturdy.
those things continue to exist, just outside our periphery with either:
zero purpose left for modern needs (outdated/obsolete)
or
far too important to replace or destroy, bcs of its surprisingly essential and circumstantial usefulness in one niche specific area.
which are honestly? both points that sum up sollux pree well.
dramatic ending sorry. anw are u still on the fence or are u Sick abt him like me </3

Why Cadet so angy?
There’s a couple things that would tick Cadet off ╰(⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)╯!!
You know, besides killing all of his friends :,D
1. People who can’t take no as an answer
2. Hates repeating himself.
3. Dislikes when people spout misinformation. Or bad opinions.
4. People flirting with you would only get him a little annoyed ( ꈍᴗꈍ) but if someone was harassing you, even after giving them a warning.. he’d be quick to act, getting them to feel at least a little dizzy and dazed. Tripping them… or suddenly head butting them… o(-( “THEY’LL BE FINE." He would say as he leads you away... If anyone tried laying a hand on you though, he would not hesitate to break a limb or two.

I simply must ask... do you intend to keep The Dark Urge as a Sorcerer? He always looks so fashionable in that dark robe, trimmed with such a brilliant gold. But I must admit I have no patience for Sorcerer. What I like to do is re-class him as a Barbarian, or a Monk. That way I keep that gorgeous outfit while I put those giant muscles to better use. RIPPING FORTH A-..! forgive me, I nearly lost my composure there.
Lol, I mean you'd think Durge was a barbarian or a Paladin with how jacked his Default Design is. I'm going to imagine it's because his dad needed strong arms to do the deeds. That, or Gortash was feeding the man something to make him this beefy.
However, I'm keeping him as a Storm Sorcerer in the Durge Companion AU! A few reasons come to mind. I already have a Monk, and she's the Tav of the party! Plus, I wanted to have one of each class in the comics since Karlach plays our Barbarian.
And finally.. oh yes. The bard....

inspired by @is-the-post-reliable , i decided to make a research blog on an almost impulse bc I've been wanting to do something like this but never did bc I wasn't in the mood
so, basically, like that blog I'll too try to tell if a post here on tumblr is true or not
keep in mind that I won't do politics bc I'm very likely not from that place. yes I could do research but god. I feel like I need to do a whole history knowledge to start to know about the politics in there and I don't think a quick and probably shallow research will be sufficient.
that said, the only politics i'll be talking about is brazilian politics
stealing ITPR rating system
RELIABLE - Entirely accurate, supported by reliable sources.
MOSTLY RELIABLE - Generally accurate, but may be slightly misleading (ie by omitting relevant contradictory information), or may contain a minor error.
PARTIALLY RELIABLE - Includes some reliable information, but also includes errors.
UNRELIABLE - Misinformation. May include some small amounts of factual information, but is mostly unreliable, or the overall impression is misleading/incorrect.
I also rate things as TBC (To Be Confirmed) when I feel I do not have enough reliable information to rate a post as reliable or not reliable.
