Sometimes Revisiting Old Fandoms And Remembering Old Aus You Used To Discuss Gives You Better Clarity

Sometimes revisiting old fandoms and remembering old aus you used to discuss gives you better clarity on a character's vibes.

Like with the aus where Bro Strider isn't a shit guardian just give me the realization that if that man hadn't been effected by possessed lil cal he would have been the perfect kinda fucked up southern uncle figure.

Like this man would sleep on the couch instead of his own bed with no blanket and would make Dave a bologna sandwich with Kraft singles cheese on it for breakfast while on the phone talking about how someone down the street tried to sell him drugs or something. This man would attempt to fix old four-wheelers in a shed he made out of wooden polls and sheet metal while Dave eats dirt and plays with a stray dog that shows up in the yard because Bro fed it hot dogs a couple times..... If you couldn't tell I wrote this forgetting they live in the city up until now but the point still stands

I feel like Dirk is the type to hear someone talk about how one piece is super long and they can't get into it and just go "I caught up to the manga in a night while making a robot"

And when asked what ereading device/site he used to read it he goes "I read the physical copies" without mentioning that the reality was having squarewave or sawtooth holding the book/turning the pages for him

squarewave and sawtooth deserved more screentime

Like let the silly rapping robots do more shit

If Rose Lalonde was a streamer I think Kanaya would get the same reaction Kristen does from Philza's chat

Like- not the calling her mom part, but the energy of just positivity the chat has when she's on stream or in chat + her being chaotic with chat

Like I could see Kanaya enabling a stream chat with their silly sub goals of like doing cat makeup or shooting her wife with a nerf gun randomly

Plus Kanaya would rp a goddess of death in Minecraft server

(listen I may not be into dream smp anymore but I will always love the idea of a silly Minecraft rp going "yeah, she's the goddess of death but she isn't onscreen for most of it and isn't important to most of the server's lore. I want more "this character is a god of some kind but they're such a side character")

If I ever made a star wars Homestuck au I'd specifically include the scene where Anakin and Padme meet in an alley in the animated Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003) but where Dirk is Anakin and Jake is Padme and like c-3po is like sawtooth or something but mans still doesn't say much

Like I can see Dirk go from romantic moment with forbidden love interrupted to admiring like the plating on Sawtooth

homestuck trolls and who I think is their favorite monster high character

Aradia: Scarah Screams

Tavros: Invisi Billy

Sollux: doesn't really care about it but would pick Luna Mothews when asked by Aradia after shown the gen 1 list to make her happy

Karkat: picks Clawd but it's really Draculaura

Nepeta: Meowlody and Purrsephone (mainly for they're dolls rather than personality)

Kanaya: Rochelle Goyle

Terezi: Lorna McNessie

Vriska: Toralei Stripes (she later secretly changes it to Cleo De Nile)

Equius: Robecca Steam

Gamzee: literally picks that human guy dancing in the movie Ghouls Rule

Eridan: Gil Webber

Feferi: Finnagen Wake
