It will actually never cease to baffle me that people got so up in arms about the Trickster Mode “Caucasian” bit because “The Kids are Aracial”, and will parrot the point that “The Kids(/Trolls) are Aracial” to hell and back, when like… It’s just not true?

I’m sorry, but you physically cannot have a humanoid character design lack racial characteristics. The only thing you give away by trying to make an “aracial” character design is what you think the racial default is. Considering White Supremacy is the social default in the Western World, more often than not, people will view the “racial default” as white. It lines up with how “white” as an identity works. “White” has never had a set definition, it changes all the time specifically to exclude more and more people- like Jewish people, Italians, et cetera. “White” is defined, historically, as “Lacking Race”, so oftentimes “Aracial” tends to just mean “White”. “Aracial” features always completely exclude Black features, and that’s not by accident.

The character designs in Homestuck have white features. I’m sorry, you’re not convincing me that the Kids are meant to be entirely racially neutral when they’re consistently depicted in the comic as having straight hair and Eurocentric features. The Kids have always been white, it’s just that people view whiteness as the racial default and everything else as of an aberration of that whiteness. Getting mad at the Trickster Mode “Caucasian” bit for “saying the kids are white” or “confirming they are white” is completely unreasonable when they’ve never been depicted as anything other than little white kids by their designs the whole entire time.

Rosemary stans and davekat stans are stains in the Homestuck fandom

I wouldn't say Rosemary stans are the huge blame of it. Just that they had gotten what they wanted and Hussie/WhatPumpkin just did nothing more with them unless to show off they are that lesbian couple. At worst, they are victims for their girls' personality going OOC and all the character development they had was thrown out the window. Especially when they want to avoid anything related to Epilogues and Homestuck 2/Beyond Canon. I feel sorry for them. For the ship, shippers, and the two characters as a whole. Now Davekat I can say is to blame. Oversaturation and pandering of this pairing makes it insufferable that people kind of forget the other connections they had with other characters. Like I always see Dave and Karkat next to each other even when JOHN is right fucking there. Why isn't Dave more close with him? Aren't they friends? Should Dave want to be close with his friend? Even if the image of Dave being close with Karkat is not seen as romantic, it still bothers me people think that they are super super super close for being stuck on the meteor, when John and Dave have known each other longer.

Yet another twitter repost. Spine broke, rip.

I have a vision for this man. John Egbert’s this lanky, geeky, scrawny teen that’s probably not in his right mind atm, no you cannot convince me otherwise.

The beta kidz!

psps homestuck fandom what are some of your favorite quotes from the webcomic (THIS DOESNT INCLUDE THE EPILOGUES OR HOMESTUCK^2 OR ANYTHING ADJACENT)

Hi Homestuck fans

Pointing out the racism in Homestuck and its community will literally leave you like this for at least a week.

I stayed away from the fandom for years. Can you summarize for me how Hussie (and some of his "friends") became such hated figures in this fandom? I know very little about what happened with Sarah Z's video and the drama of homestuck reddit vs kate mitchell

Andrew Hussie and WhatPumpkin had tried to sue Sarah Z for libel because of her critique on the shitty sequel that is Homestuck 2. It didn't help that HS2 was put on a long hiatus since December 25, 2020. He sent her a most unprofessional email like he would. But it wasn't until later on that it was revealed that Homestuck 2 was actually a money laundering scheme by Andrew Hussie to pay off his debts towards Viz Media. He lied to his freelance artists, claiming they are working on the project to help bring the series back to its full glory. The most funny part is that Hussie had tried to pitch Homestuck^2 to Viz Media and they rightfully REJECTED this and told him it was the bad idea. But he didn't listen. Andrew Hussie then decided to leave his name out of Homestuck, any future projects relating to it, including the HIveswap game that he Kickstarted and had misued the money, to live off with his money on IP alone. As for the Homestuck Reddit vs Kate Mitchell, besides the whole fact that Kate Mitchell is controversial for making lots of questionable remarks, takes, and had LITERALLY ADVERTISED HER NUDES ON HER PERSONAL ACCOUNT THAT WAS USED TO TALK TO HOMESTUCK FANS, she and Hussie had found out that Makin, the head of Homestuck Community Reddit and Discord, had created Homestuck.net. Which is an archive site for all things Homestuck media related. From art assets, fan games, music resources, and of course, Patreon exclusive posts for Homestuck^2. It was back in the early 2020s, way before the hiatus and Hussie cutting himself off. Andrew Hussie, Kate Mitchell, and others in WhatPumpkin like Aysha, are upset at them. Thinking they are infringing copyright in preserving some of the lost sprite art and other materials related to the series. There was rumors someone, not sure if it was WhatPumpkin or some random defender of Hussie, had accused Homestuck Community Discord, was sharing CHILD PORN, which was untrue. Andrew Hussie had sent emails to the mods and Makin, requesting the latter step down from his position and let Hussie and WhatPumpkin take control of the Discord. He also asked question about the mods sexuality for the sake of 'gender and sex composition'. Of course by the end, it failed and Makin is still around. I don't think it's been made public on either Twitter or Tumblr, as it is just kept within the Discord server itself. But they had release the email transcripts in a PDF file about all this. Of course, Makin isn't too much of a saint either as he accused the artist (HONE) for 'normalizing' the characters and plagiarizing a fan edit, not realizing who it was that made all the Homestuck Requiem promo art and that it was made WAAAAY before Pesterquest was out and approved by Viz Media themselves. He would then find out who it was and backpedaled, likely not having directly apologizing to HONE. The way I see it is two tards fighting each other. Wanna view the PDF file? (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧ I have been meaning to document some of the controversies and drama within the Homestuck series. Be it from Hussie, Whatpumpkin, and any other major incident. From how one Homestuck musician got kicked out for accusing Hussie on mistreatment of his music team to spending $10k on an office in New York to work on Hiveswap, it would be a history of all the things that had happened behind the scenes with evidence to back it up.

ENjoy. ⚡︎

It is incredible that this comic is already 15 years old.

I'm still relatively new to fandom, but I'm very fond of this comic.

(Btw the last 2 illustrations are my trollsona both in my style and in sprite.

yoy will never guess which one is my favorite troll)

HAPPY 413!

personal aradia design, i like the idea that she can shift herself into any state : Even the state the moment directly after seh was killed, or her current state: bloodied and bandages, crying. its the easiest form for her to be, but it isnt flattering.

she terrorizes people with these forms, gored or torn apart to defend herself. I just read the part where she died, i feel awful for her .

i love her though.
