I kind of wish disney’s ~weird period~ had lasted longer. Like all of a sudden we were getting these films like lilo & stitch and Atlantis and the emperor’s new groove and treasure planet and they were so fun and DIFFERENT. Just thinking about what the pitches for those movies had to have been like is so surreal?? A little blue criminal alien crash lands on a Hawaiian island and gets adopted by two sisters dealing with social services that teach him about the value of family. An Inca emperor gets turned into a llama and john goodman helps him get back to his palace and one of the bad guys talks to squirrels. Treasure island but in SPACE. Like, on the surface, the premise for these films seem so random but they all TOTALLY WORKED IN REALLY GREAT WAYS??? idk I just really miss that early 2000s spark of offbeat creativity in Disney’s timeline.

why i like homestuck

the-vampire-fish-queen:

revolutionarygays:

– really good mythos. i think one of the parts that’s really stuck with me the most is when john’s like “i’m supposed to save the world right nanna?” and nannasprite is just like “lmao hell no it’s way too late for that! your destiny is much bigger” IM BIGTIME PARAPHRASING but it’s really epic and cool
– it’s basically an Internet Age creation myth TBH and it’s really neat
– great character development + really well thought out characters (mostly). all dialogue is delivered via text chat logs and it really gives you an incredible feel for the characters
– not an overwhelming amount of heterosexuality TBH… a great majority of the characters that the story focuses on are gay or bi
– really well-written female characters like homestuck is up there with ATLA on my “best female characters ever” list. they’re incredibly memorable and not cliche at all. not that “passing the bechdel test” means anything but homestuck passes the bechdel test with flying fucking colors….. it genuinely set a new standard for what i want to see wrt female characters interacting with each other entirely outside of male characters
– really cool villains!! my fav villain is actually doc scratch because he’s the slimiest and creepiest and was really well done (he is a man in a green suit with a cue ball for a head…) but all of them – bec noir (demon dog with a sword, i shit you not), her imperious condescension (evil power hungry immortal alien queen), and lord english himself (universe devouring demon with pool balls for eyes) are all super fucking cool. capes and masks are so blade these villains are fucking MEMORABLE
– a feast for the eyes! some of the stuff in homestuck is just pixels/simple art and some of it’s an honest to god eyesore… BUT there’s a lot of really beautiful imagery with some killer color palettes (the land of light and rain definitely comes to mind) that’s TBH really cool & neat

altogether homestuck is a pretty big undertaking and can get confusing but it’s totally fucking worth it. there’s some necessary content warnings about uses of slurs and some generally inappropriate shit, which kind of sucks (it’s Problematic to say the very least) but outside of that it’s really an incredible piece of media & 100% unlike anything else you’ll ever read, watch, or see in your life

since the end is coming soon i really genuinely do recommend homestuck to anyone who’s ever considered getting into it, now is a great time & ppl like me LOVE to help out and explain things to anyone who gets confused or caught up

am pretty sure many who left homestuck are going to be rushing back when it updates 🙂

lampad1994:

i think a big reason why i use tons of emoticons and exclamation points is because i want there to be no doubt that i’m being friendly and not at all terse or uninterested, cause i have the problem where when people reply to me i’m sure they must be soo irritated with me and disgusted with who i am as a person if they don’t put some indication of being interested/happy to speak with me (liiiiike exclamation points or emoticons).
