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!

earth c concept: dirk and calliope writing fanfic together. dirk finally gets to read calliopes fanfics and she is very flattered when it turns out he loves them all. dirk and callie are best friends. thanks

Dirk and calliope draw fanart for each other of their fanfics and it’s so fucking wholesome

callie admits to feeling nervous abt sharing her fics because cherub smut is so alien and weird and Dirk PERSONALLY makes au-length snake tf smut one of the most popular and celebrated tropes on earth c just so calliope doesnt feel lonely or ashamed

its wholesome as fuck. literally

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

Wait a minute, Karkat besting Clover anon again,,, is that why Clover’s eyes were flashing the leprechaun romance symbols after Karkat beat him,,, does Clover have a crush on Karkat is what I’m now asking, also ???

homestuckexamination:

Let’s be honest, Clover has a god damn crush on everything that moves, but yes, it’s implied that Clover has a crush on Karkat after the fight. Whether that’s because of the Bondage or for other reasons, it’s unclear.

Also I’m really not joking about the Bondage stuff. Remember the time he gagged himself on his bowtie and sent us a half-nude?

Truth be told, the Snapchat Updates were… Kind of horny weren’t they? It was the time Homestuck went Horny on Main. I mean.

if you click to open this thread you die in real life

predicted answer: “have sex with me”

I read this thread and it’s surprisingly wholesome. Lots of guys either wanting to be the little spoon, making jokes about blanket hogging, or wanting their girlfriends to say what they like so that they can pleasure them more.

Tbh I’m starting to think most of tumblr seriously lack any serious interaction with men, and not only sexual but to a platonic/friendship level.

I don’t mean to attack anyone but how come all this people decided men would think something pervert and rapey? How come people who actually checked were so surprised that men wanted something humanly acceptable and maybe even *gasps* cute?

I am serious in this question: did you ever had male friends? Because this thread to me was the LEAST surprising thing on earth.

In HS, having been a butch lesbian and having had a ton of male friends, the typical sex questions were “hey, can you tell me how to mae her feel good?” or “hey, how do I tell if she likes it?” or “do I sound clingy/pathetic if I want cuddles after?”. Boyfriends worry about their girlfriends pleasure, their happiness and what they think of sex. They do. And when they don’t do much to pleasure them, most of the time is because they are inexperienced. Women do have a problem with communicating their desire, nobody denies that it’s also society’s fault but if you don’t ask stuff you can’t get surprised you don’t get it and out there it’s full of men wanting to do things with respect and to make their girlfriends happy. 

Boys are WHOLESOME. As girls are. People are wholesome and nice and vulnerable and in strive for good things for them and others.

And even those who made sexual comments like “blowjobs” or “more boob stuff”…. why is it bad? It’s a NSFW thread???? It’s the space to talk about that. Would you have the same reaction if in their matching thread women said they want their boyfriends to go down on them more? Or if they said they’d like him to touch them in different zones? Would you have complained if women said it of their girlfriends? Then why shaming boys?

Having needs both sexual and emotional is natural, the important is not force them on people who don’t feel like that and these men didn’t (which is why the thread exists in first place).

Men have emotional needs too and pretending they don’t and buying into the “all men think about is sex” and “ah men are all rapey and dirty” is sexism, not only towards men but because it implies that women are purer than them which leads to the HolyMary kinda misoginy that denies women their need to physical pleasure.

Also let’s stop pretending sex is inherently dirty and bad. Sex is fun, as long as it’s consensual.

But yeah I agree with op, I did die opening it, OUT OF THE CUTENESS THAT SPILLED FROM IT.

Ok yeah that was cute

Aw I want this.

posts with bad vibes being turned into more comfy things like this are why i still browse this site

Someone actually fixed this shitty post and made it good.

would dirk be disgusted by the mlp dashiefucquers or would he be one of them

i dont think he’s likely to be disgusted by any kink or fetish (that isnt, you know, exploitative or abusive) no matter how bizzare, since hes pretty weird himself and pretty stoic/academic about assessing humanity in general

that said hes gay so i doubt hed be into rainbow dash that way. as for whether he’s into the aesthetic of the show That Way id say your imagination is a powerful enough tool to decide whether the dirk in your head is or not for itself, you dont need me for that
