you know I think it’s funny that the literal main difference between karkat and kankri is Nurture. Like karkat is just kankri plus Prey Animal Desperation and that’s pretty much it

I think we as a society moved on from karkat’s pesterquest route too quickly

if homestuck was a high-budget arcane-style animated show Vriska’s big climactic last scene would be a montage of all her big scenes previously with My Way by Frank Sinatra playing over it (for soundtrack dissonance) before it crescendos with the lord english fight and she’d open the house juju as the music swells and then it would cut to white leaving us to wonder if she survived the juju blast. I am right

headcanon that a popular Alternian genre of television was like those cop body cam shows mixed with reality tv about like. Tow truck companies but for Threshecutioners. Like typical workplace reality tv where they all run around and have petty drama but with a lot of remorseless on-screen murder. Karkat was an avid viewer of at least one of these shows I think. Is this anything

I’m soooooo normal about these paradox space panels btw

Okay the FLARP gang roles (like… pirate movie characters… does that make sense… the dynamics) that I think they filled in their little game thing I guess:

Vriska: rebel pirate queen… obvie… captain jack sparrow type shit. Little freak who is exceedingly capable yet often underestimated for her blood caste / generally scrawny build / unorthodox demeanor

Terezi: Vriska’s first mate! I think she and Vriska were very much a package deal but I think Terezi had a name of her own… she was scary also i think

Eridan: Like… the British naval official that’s been fighting with Vriska for months but can’t bring himself to just pull the bloody trigger yknow…

Kanaya: Vriska’s landbound beau sort of. Do you know the song Jolly Sailor Bold. It’s like that. Her hair it hangs in ringlets her eyes as black as coal my happiness attends her my jolly sailor bold

Equius: listen. Listen I love neigh8ors. Serket Zahhak siblings foreva. He’s like the weird guy they hide out with sometimes. Whenever she gets in trouble she drops into his house. I love them. She goes ‘I know a guy 😏” and he’s the guy

Aradia: I like to think that Team Charge and the Scourge Sisters first encountered each other in a scuffle over a treasure. You know. Archeology explorer team and pirate treasure hunter team?? That was the start of their beef

Tavros: Aradia’s little freak of a partner that Vriska finds infinitely infuriating for some reason. Part of which being that he’s a bronzeblood and she feels the need to collect all of mindfang’s associates like pokemon cards

I have mixed feelings on broadway homestuck as a whole but they were cooking with Thirteen Years (One World Closer) when they had karkat ask if the stars on John’s world look the same as they did on his. Do you think he’d be happy to know that they do.
