So When You Start Writing One Of These, It Says "add Something, If You'd Like". But Why? What If I Don't

So when you start writing one of these, it says "add something, if you'd like". But why? What if I don't want to? The post button is greyed out until I write something, so why does it say "if you'd like"? I think it's an oversight that we should not look into.

Why do people have such a stereotypical view on Americans, of all people. The even weirder part is the ones reinforcing that belief is Americans themselves. I may be a boy, but I know I'm not infatuated with blue. Americans don't all own guns, drink beer from 5, and barbecue everything.

At least I don't think you do. British as charged.

ThinK about this for a sec. If the hemospectrum was around for billions of years, long enough to have everyone evolve into their roles, what would you expect to see?

The lowbloods would be strong, and live long. They would be able to get to places that others can't for maintenance, say underwater. They would have insane healing factor and pain tolerance. They would be experts in the tech most commonly used at the time, mostly mechanical with a small amount of digital.

The midbloods would work higher jobs, on things like fashion and art. They would be generals, being charismatic and/or manipulative to sway people to their side in battle. They would be writers, documenting everything. They would gather enormous amounts of Lusus meats to feed their rulers and the next generation of children, who they would taKe care of.

The highbloods would be living in luxury, with powers that let them do as little as possible. They would move anything they liKe with minimal effort, predict the future, and shoot eye beams as a last resort. They would be scientists, worKing on ways to maKe themselves more powerful by fusing themselves with newly invented biotech that runs on psionics. They would be shamans, being contacted by ghosts of the past and uncovering the prophecies of the future. They would be leaders, their short lifespans allowing a viable autocracy where elected leader rule until they die or are overthrown, and continue on as advisors channelled by the shamans.

And above all, the prophesied red leader. A caste shared only by the priest that will precede him. The one said to be born of endless rage, and live amongst oceans of his own blood. The one who will be known by every troll, who will abolish every injustice that came before, who will reign until the universe ends and then some. He will hide until he is needed most, and will befriend the gods and create a utopia. He will sway the blacK fiend, love the red knight, fight the fuchsia queen. He will see the death of many, see a creature of hate try to love, see the one who is already here and stand his ground. You will be betrayed. You will be despised. you will lose hope, and lose to hope. But as you paint over your gray sign in your true colours, you will continue on.

Here's how I got into homestuck. Very weird origin story, but here it is.

For Christmas or my birthday or something, I got a book called what if by Randall munroe. Pretty good book, and now I have the second one too. In the front cover, there is a short "about the author" bit. In that, it says "by the creator of xkcd". I searched it up and it is a funny webcomic. At the bottom, it has the works that inspired it, and homestuck was listed. So that's how I found it!

Haven't posted that much yet. Sry to the millions of followers I already have.

I have been watching some tutorials, and it seems this platform is just a poorly organised pile of shower thoughts. Just throw whatever onto the pile, then you can sift through it whenever you like.

Completely unrelated, they should have claw machines where instead of paying money, you put in more prizes. I don't know why, but I just thought of it and now am writing it down.

Me, out!

Just tons of writing stuff here

Projects I'm currently worKing on:

My main, a cannon divergence set on earth c

A Cameron Geller cinematic universe Kinda crossover fic where I give his characters claspects and stuff to fit them into hs (highly recommend Cameron Geller)

A homestucK DND frameworK that is nowhere near good enough for using with DND but I frequently looK at to checK my notes on claspects for my other fics

A groundhog day AU for homestucK with inspiration from outer wilds, still conceptualising but sounds good in my head

On route to have at least one chapter out by 413 - none of them

More under the cut

Things I liKe to read/write about

Characters from different franchises implanted into homestucK, where they have to play sburb and god tier etc

HomestucK characters with a completely different magic system, eg M^3's The Good The Bad And The Alternative and Unda's Your Words Destroyed My Planet

Also things with incredibly long and unwieldy titles apparently

Cannon divergence around earth c, eg Liyuna's Skian pantheon series

Anything with unique formating, eg 1ocust and sourlemonblue's please sub to my twitch prime i need rent money

Anything that catches my eye while I'm in a homestucK frenzy, liKe your someone, Pay Dat Rent!!1!, Ior, G R E G (featuring guest appearance from me), The grapple comic, Deadlock, Cult Following, and immortal man, to name a few on MSPFA

Things I quote unquote "disliKe"

Proper crossovers. Just no. I don't care that nepeta is in a room with some characters from a franchise I've never heard of or hate. The two fandoms almost always mesh uncomfortably and all the already good relationship dynamics are ignored in favour of crossover dynamics, and even that's better than the fandoms ignoring each other because then what's the point of splitting the attention between double the characters? The only good way a crossover has ever been done from what I have seen, is Unda's MC Esher that's my favourite MC. And that was crossing homestucK. With slightly different homestucK. And it still feels liKe the two sides don't mesh great!

Please prove me wrong and give me a good crossover fic. Good lucK.
