Well then

[zenolalia]

I've closed my tabs and logged out of tumblr for what I suppose will be the last time.

I spent a decade on that site. It was my news, my social life, and my fandom hub.

Probably, I gave more of myself to it than I should have, really. But in return, I got so many things that I can't imagine finding anywhere else.

I don't know what I feel.

But, it is the dawn of a new day.


(The joke: it's the middle of the night in my time zone)

Homestuck meta #4: Nepeta is the most valid representation of autism to come out of the 2005-2010 era. She is good, and sweet, and utterly unrepentant about her total disregard for social conventions that make no sense to her. The fact that Karkat calls her autistic as an insult is unfortunate, but given the era, I will take whatever canonical representation I can get.

Homestuck meta #5: Karkat and Dave are also autistic, however, Kanaya's apparent autistic affect is, IMO, the result of her extreme isolation during her developmental period. Although trolls are not terrestrial mammals, they are still undeniably a social species, and Kanaya's lack of direct socialization before entering the game has probably severely stunted her social development. However, she's still The Best, just like every Homestuck character is.

Homestuck meta #6: Feferi probably thinks Equius's sweating is cute because she has such a hardon for pitiful boys with no self control, and also because she loves saltwater and sweat is just saltwater.

Homestuck meta #7: Feferi has a sweat kink and it's the most disgusting thing on or off world.

piggybacking off #6: The Land of Caves and Silence has brackish water due to the presence of Equius Zahhak.

Fucking valid and correct.

About Nepeta: You're right and you should say it.
Kanaya's isolation growing up is becoming even more fucking tragic seeing how the jades interact in the Friendsim, I think.

God, I know. I didn't think she could become even more of a tragic figure but I was wrong.

Still, she gets her Good Ending, and that's definitely something.
