Could you elaborate on the hope player sexuality filter you mentioned with Maxlol? I think I know where you’re going with that but I’m still curious.

every hope player we’ve seen across the board has had something to do with sexuality, and most are pretty, uh. horny. for lack of a better word.

Eridan and Cronus. Moving on…

There’s Jake’s x-rated fantasies about Aranea, as well as his admission that he’s harbored thoughts for all his friends–Roxy, Jane, and Dirk. And all of those friends had similar feelings for him.

Diemen’s got his phallic sausage jokes, and once he gets into you he tries to steal a kiss. Once Cirava Changes you/lets you get Changed, the Reader is rewarded with tons of followers interested in them romantically/asking if they’re single.

Elwurd and Maxlol are both transparently horny and quite intense about it-Maxlol even sublimates his horniness into a twisted desire for servitude, which notably vibes with the class I’m alleging for him.

That’s 7/7 hopebound, so far. i think we can call this a solid trend.

So I’m three episodes into Utena and already bored to TEARS by the vapid student council and their cryptic eschatological bullshit. Is this one of those shows where I ought to “wait until episode X then it Gets Good’ or have this show and I just failed to connect? Because right now its four tedious jerks on a student council, a pink haired girl with weird eyes, and a POC who seems content to be servile – I’m not wild about it.

All I can really say in terms of assurance is that the POC who’s “content to be servile” is one of the most complex and nuanced characters in fiction imo, and most of those other characters don’t slack far behind.

My friend recommends ep. 4 as the beat that got him hooked. I’d say give it til 7 because that’s where my favorite character arc comes into focus for the first time.

That said, I know I talk Utena up a lot here and I am completely genuine about it but I also feel a certain obligation to make something clear.

I can’t promise you’re gonna like Utena, because Utena’s not a show for everyone. It happens to speak to my sense of aesthetic visually, so it’s got one up on me that might not work for you at all. But thematically and content-wise it just really, really is not for everyone.

Because Utena deals almost exclusively with themes of abuse–social abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse. It’s a show about fucked up people hurting each other in fucked up ways. It explores the complexities of incest and incestual abuse quite a lot.

As an incest survivor that’s always been interested in archetypes, apocalyptic imagery and stories about abuse’s effects on human psychology-largely due to personal reasons-all of that naturally proves pretty resonant to me. It might be absolutely horrific to some other folks, and just kinda boring for others.

I think the way its handled puts it on about the same level as Homestuck, in some ways. But Homestuck focuses on more systemic and physical/fantastical violence, in a lot of ways. It’s rarer that it gets into more explicitly sexual territory.

Utena, on the other hand, is visually a lot cleaner-it’s pure shoujo, no blood or gore to be had, most of its conflict rendered symbolically and through character performance.

But the subject matter it deals in is just closer to social, grounded reality, and the kinds of violence it deals in are I think more likely to be…personally triggering? So I really can’t be sure everyone will enjoy the experience. I just know I’m a big fan, processing stuff through it did me a lot of good, and the story gets better the more it adds to the layers of interpersonal drama and symbolic meaning.

Hoooope this answers the question. Good luck!

In light of the new FriendSim, do you feel like that we have enough information about Diemen in order to properly give him a class? Because we do know he’s a Hope-Bound.

Don’t know for sure, but he feels an awful lot like a thief:

-He’s off the grid, so there’s some outlaw imagery to him.
-A lot of uses of the word “take” in his text.
-hes lost friends due to stealing hot dogs

-his epiphany involves realizing he’s stealing hotdogs as a coping mechanism, and what he actually wants is something else.

The real treasure he references is, ofc, friendship. And if they end happily, thieves quests always seem to involve realizing that no matter how much they steal, friendship and love were the real treasure they wanted all along.

See: Meenah deciding she doesn’t want the ring of life.
(Vriska) growing closer to Meenah, and then meeting (terezi). Etc.

Seemed p fitting to me that as soon as diemen faced this part of himself, his wish was granted and you find your way to meat heaven. That auryn rule rearing it’s head again.

PS: While hotdogs aren’t Hope-related per se, the dick jokes surrounding them sure are. i love homestuck. i love diemen

jake’s bare ass

stormsbourne:

can you imagine being dirk though and having your boyfriend insist on this costume. when you try to talk him into wearing some shorts or something he gets all offended. strider it has to be authentic, the na’vi wear almost nothing, I know for a fact you’ve seen the movie enough times to know that! jeez! now help me get the stripes on my back, they have to be parallel and I can’t reach that far. on the double mister!

and dirk just sighing and going back to work as jake double and triple checks his loin cloth for movie consistency.

jake leaving his na’vi makeup smeared everywhere like a shitty troll cosplayer and kanaya just cringing as she watches every surface of the house become bluer. roxy (since jane cannot bring herself to do so) makes a “guess you blue yourself” joke and jake eagerly replies oh yes, but of course, I had help from strider! dirk is dying. free him from hell.

The fuck?

Guys. Listen.
This is 100% market research.
Who has money?
FURRIES.
Who needs to stay hydrated in their costumes?
FURRIES.
Who avoids sports drinks due to their subliminal connection to mean jocks?
FURRIES.
Who has made it worthwhile for an international beverage brand to continue this marketing campaign for over FIVE YEARS?

I’ll give you one fucking guess.

@optimisticduelist
your theory about everyone being furries advances by the day.

But how can it be a theory if it is factually true.
