I'd Argue Porrim Is More Goth Than Kanaya

i'd argue porrim is more goth than kanaya

every moment postcanon homestuck has been a slow decline down to this very moment to this canon viz approved depiction of hyperfeminized anime vriska and i am hating it so much… nobody understands…

ik you're not a dirkjaker, but you have the best takes so please listen.

i feel cheated with dirkjake. most of the fandom held them on the pedestal of "peak toxic yaoi" or whatever and then you see them and...

they're literally just fucking 16 years old.

that's it. that's fucking it. dirk isn't abusive and Jake isn't a demon sent straight from hell to neglect/mistreat him or whatever dirk/dirkjohn fans say. they're just fucking 16.

that is my message. love each other and read sovereignstuck

We don’t even see their relationship on screen. Like at all. We don’t even see them talk.

I will never get over the Cannibalism trend in DirkJake fanworks because it really feels like people don’t get the point of Cannibalism in fiction. Cannibalism highlights Consumption. The consumption is the point. I really don’t think Consumption is present in their relationship, at least not enough to warrant the prevalence of the Cannibalism art.

I could make a significantly stronger case for Cannibalism in a piece of art featuring Cronus and Mituna. One point being that Cronus is literally named Cronus.

The communication issues that Dirk and Jake have are extremely basic 16 year old problems. That’s their main problem. They don’t fucking talk to each other. They don’t fucking talk to each other so much that we literally don’t see a conversation between them during the course of their relationship that isn’t a breakup. Our confirmation that it is happening is them breaking up.

They’re not experiencing some unique, soul-wrenching toxicity. They’re not VrisRezi. They’re just isolated 16 year olds that suck.

I do not get it.

Maybe go watch some horror movies? Or, like, Beastars. A lot of DirkJake fans really come across to me like they just want to watch Beastars and don’t realize it yet. Re-Animator + Bride of Re-Animator, too.

They’re not “Peak Toxic Yaoi” - god, I fucking hate that word - but boy are they Peak Yaoi. From my experience, DirkJake is something you get super invested in out of starvation, but I’ve never been hungry enough for it… Because I watch horror movies all the fucking time. I don’t really need my diet supplemented with some shitty little 16 year old white boys who are failing at relationships. I can just turn on any horror movie and watch bloody, sweaty, injured men fuck each other to death with chainsaws and sob into each other’s arms about needing each other or something. I’m good.

Don’t get me wrong, their relationship kind of blows, but in the most mundane, unremarkable way possible. They really are just isolated 16 year olds. Their main problem is communication, full stop.

Her white skin glows in the dark, along with her yellow eyes reflecting like a cats. There is green blood on her sash, and smudged purple blood on her face. She holds her arms at her sides and has a blank expression.]

controversial opinion but unfortunately you are your actions and what you say. if you are mean to people, it doesn’t matter if you sometimes have secret kind thoughts. fortunately you are your actions and what you say. if you are kind in your actions and your words, it doesn’t matter if you sometimes have mean thoughts. the power is in working against inner negative thoughts and being a better person despite it. you have the ability to cultivate the person you want to be.
