sollux and aradia have been together for most of the dreambubble parts, but they have been apart from each other at points. currently, they are separated–sollux flew off with feferi and nepeta, aradia stayed with meenah and vriska. (i think she was sat on top of meenah’s hive when vriska was having her hair braided.)

i think you missed the sentence before that one

The difference here is he rakes in thousands of dollars a month through this enterprise. 

he rakes in thousands of dollars a month

i believe (emphasis on believe) that they can only sell the t-shirts that welovefine are accepting as winners from their t-shirt design contest. welovefine basically said to report them if they sell anything they shouldn’t be. please don’t take what i’m saying as 100% because i’m not sure, but what i’m gathering is that hot topic buy(?) the rights to sell the designs and that’s it.

the issue the post was raising was that hot topic sells merchandise that has been stolen from fanartists designs–not just of homestuck, but in general. the post was basically saying that a company that wants to have good fan-relations (whatpumpkin) shouldn’t be associating with a store that exploits fans (hot topic), not just homestuck fans.

anyway, redglare isn’t confirmed for having red eyes/being blind. we just know she has red glasses. redglare could also refer to the fact that pyralspite has red eyes and burnt out mindfang’s 8-vision. maybe that’s why she started wearing red glasses. we really don’t know.

yeah i think that irl it must be really difficult to assume guardianship over a brother, and homestuck kinda simplifies that for the sake of jokes. but the perceived relationship isn’t parent/child, it’s brother/brother. and i think the jokey brother-brother thing is what hussie was going for but ugh.. it’s difficult because taking it as it is looks abusive but the context is that bro is kinda there as a joke? 

and i think you know its there for a joke because dave is never talked about as being under-nourished or suffering from ptsd or any kind of psychological/physical trauma? it’s never talked about as this serious issue? just, ahah oh swords in the cupboard….. smuppets….. ahah oh bro. oh dave. thank god we have the comedic relief from alcoholic mom and overbearing dad and the fact a girl was raised by a dog instead of a human.

and so outside the usual man-pain route, i do understand why people legitimately think it’s abusive because it appears so but….. the writing just hasn’t set it up to be like that. i feel like the only ‘serious’ dimension we get to bro/dave is when bro dies. whereas you constantly have rose’s development with her mom and alcoholism, john’s with his dad’s overbearingness? (not really sure if jade gets any that isn’t more about bec than herself) but dave and bro is just always a kinda joke….. 

so yeah a more serious response to address the genuine issues that fans bring up. yes throwing a baby is abuse. yes not feeding a child properly is abuse. yes storing your cupboards with weapons is neglect. but.. in the context of homestuck…. it’s written to be a joke. which is kinda terrible now that i sit and properly think about it? but yeah.. dave/bro isn’t really abusive because it wasn’t written to be abusive…. even though it would be if it was real, instead of a joke? god i’m just literally going around in circles but hopefully you get what i mean by context & intentions over presentation.

the only dubious thing is that dave was 13 and knew his brother did puppet porn, and the fact that the porn puppets were all over the house. and the swords…. but these are nit-picky points that dave has never seemed to suffer abuse from? he just takes them in his stride and gets on with it

a small apartment doesn’t mean abuse: that makes assumptions that small house = low income = abuse :// does no-one stop to think that maybe dave and bro just liked having a small house. it was just the two of them, why do they need a huge mansion? bro could afford somewhere bigger, but maybe dave would have been too lonely, or maybe he just really likes sleeping in the livingroom?? maybe theres 10,000 other reasons that aren’t ‘they are poor so bro hit him :’(’

bro wasn’t perfect but none of the guardians were (bec ur a dog ill let you off a little more), and he was just trying his best? and it seems to have worked, seeing as dave is healthy and only suffering as much as everyone else around him–nothing specific to being abused; specific to the fact he’s in the game.

so yeah, as far as i can see its fanon 4 man pain!!!!

i feel like i’m about to contribute to a debate/argument i don’t want to be a part of, but i can always hope otherwise. these might not actually be the first instances, they were just the closest to the start that i could find because i still have 150+ asks to sort out.

this is assuming that dude/guy is also male, as it they are typically male-associated word, however i put the next best he/she/whatever in brackets

1. aradia: be the other girl

2. tavros: You are now no longer the other girl, or any of the other five for that matter. (What’s the name of this dude sitting in his FOUR WHEEL DEVICE?)

3. sollux: There’s this pretty cool dude, ok? Some people seem to think he’s cool.

4. karkat: This guy again? (This young troll stands in his respiteblock)

5. nepeta: Ok, what’s her name? 

6. kanaya: For that matter, what about this young lady? What is HER deal???

7. terezi: GC: WHY WOULD YOU L4UGH 4T 4 BL1ND G1RL

8: vriska: Be the mysterious spider girl.

9: equius: The guy who likes to build robots just stood there and watched. It would always make everyone uncomfortable whenever he would just stand there.

10: gamzee: gamzee’s gender wasn’t mentioned anywhere near his introduction and i don’t have the patience to go through and find it as i might end up reading the whole of act 5 again. took the easy way out and just had karkat confirm with ’KARKAT: HAVE YOU BEEN DATING HIM FOR JUST AS LONG? ’

11: eridan: So who IS this guy, anyway? (eridan didn’t have a ‘he’ pronoun used close enough to his introduction so i ducked out on that one and got sollux to confirm. ’he made of of hii2 2hiitty fake wand2 glow a little and now he thiink2 he'2 a fairy god troll or 2omething, lmao!’)

12: feferi: What about her?

no you sent it to the right blog, i was just busy with other questions!

it’s not impossible at all, muse is just a normal god tier title in respect to species. what makes it different is that it is the most passive class you can reach and is a ‘master class’.

aaaand we don’t know much more about it than that. the rest is inference and guesses that haven’t been confirmed by canon. i assume we are building up to that for the final…… otherwise all this talk of muse/lord would have been rather pointless.

understand that the ‘canon’ mage is actually based off of feasting’s pixels.

this is what they had to say about it: http://feastings.tumblr.com/post/35396803071/ministrife-ref-masterlist-notes-1-2-outfits

it looks like hussie is going with these designs, but they might change slightly in canon. not that we’ll probably ever see a canon mage but we can still dream.

we have this on the masterlist, i think its correct still? maybe not, the original poster took it down but i can’t work out what issue there could be from briefly looking at it

EB: hey, i don’t have a problem with your weird sort of alien hate-love thing! 
EB: it is just that, uh… 
CG: WHAT 
EB: i am not a homosexual.
