for people who weren’t here 2.5 years ago: xkit guy made xkit, he worked for free and was one of the nicest people on this fucking hellsite
then, due to /one/ anonymous message stating that he was abusing someone, that never got proven to be true, the hellsite crowd had decided to make xkit guy’s life a living hell
without proof. nothing but a single anon that someone might’ve sent because they’re a fucking hate goblin who wanted to score hell points for destroying a guy who had poured his time and energy into making tumblr functional
seeing the atmosphere surrounding mcelroys in today’s hellsite crowd i can say that they are itching for even a faked info of them being insensitive even in the slightest way so they’d have the pretext to drag them down
tl;dr: be skeptical, don’t go with the crowd and check the info.
i agree with it and like it a lot, but with a caveat. It seems to me that all the lands sort of reflect the state of mind of the Hero in question, and I don’t think Skaia populates planets with any particular intent–much less anything ambiguously malicious like trying to torment players with things they don’t like.
The planets are generated from the input of the player’s life, context, and imo most importantly mind and thought patterns. Homestuck’s most pervasive theme is that -individual thought- creates the reality you experience, and the individual thoughts of everyone living create the reality they experience together. I don’t see a reason to shortchange that by ascribing Skaia agency I don’t think it has.
fyi this is roses mom in the b1 universe, not b2 roxy (shes in another universe 428 years in the future)
wow unwarranted sadstuck thanks hiveswap team i totally forgot she had nobody to raise her, she was just dropped to earth on a meteor in the late 70s-early 80s. which explains why she and bro were not good role models to kids but at least mom lalonde wasnt influenced by a satantic puppet
it’s also possible GRANDPA raised her, at least part of the way and apparently indirectly because he hires her as a babysitter and keeps her close instead of adopting here.
but if so–well. we’re certainly getting a sharper look at how Grandpa is a flawed guardian/role-model, too, aren’t we?
It’s nice to have the canon finally focus on this stuff, i dig it
