You Know As A Mechanisms Fan Whos Listening To The Magnus Protocol. Hear Me Out. Alice X FR3-d1. I Know

You know as a mechanisms fan who’s listening to The Magnus Protocol. Hear me out. Alice X FR3-d1. I know she was hitting on the computer as a joke but hear me out hear me out. For all we know FR3-d1 could be sentient so hear me o-

(This is a joke by the way)

Homestuck is about a video game that is actually a universe creation engine. The players need to achieve godhood, become their best selves, and stop an interplanetary war in order to enter the universe they've created as gods.

The game has various "sessions", think of them like game servers, and the troll characters are the creators of our universe whose session/playthrough of the game went terribly wrong.

The comic is absurd whenever it can be. Betty Crocker is an interdimensional genocidal space witch. Insane Clown Posse becomes the president (yes both of them. The first duel presidents).

Our villain is someone who basically hacked the game to become a time traveling god demon.

It has some of the most profoundly written character moments I have ever encountered in fiction, a fascinating system where your personality and your divine destiny define your superpowers, and it defies both genre and medium. It's full of traditional comic pages, but also animations, mini games, and more.

Look up "Homestuck Ulysses" on YouTube and give that top video a watch maybe.

I watched it. Yea the comic seems fun but I’m not prepared for it to become my whole personality like tma has. I swear that thing as a death grip on me and I didn’t even get a chance to get my nails in the dirt before it dragged me into the darkness with the release of Protocol. Maybe in like 2-8 years when I’m over protocol I’ll give it a read.

Anyway thank you for infodumping me. It’s definitely not what I expected the plot to be about from my limited exposure to it.

Okay but have you heard the mountain goats song "steal smoked fish".

John Darnielle says it's based on a time in his life where he was addicted to hard drugs and he was friends with a lot of sex workers and heroin addicts, and it was an environment where if you fell asleep they would steal your stuff, but if someone tried to attack you they would be willing to die protecting you. And it's a song about how most of those friends of his are dead now, and the years they spent squatting in abandoned buildings and stealing their food.

It's my favorite song by them and it will make you feel things.

"I see your destinies above you

Like angels who don't love you

Let them kiss you and hold you tight

As long as the money's right"

I just listened to it and definitely makes me feel things even if It doesn’t fully resonate with me.

The line “attach c-4 where you must

Disappear in a cloud of dust” reminded me of Timothy stoker from tma though and that really made me sad :(

Here’s a very wip FRyer fic

Can’t promise I’ll keep working on it and I can’t promise I won’t make changes to it.

For those who might be reading this in the future, keep in mind that I’m writing this at the time where there’s only 3 episodes out and a lot of mystery, so this likely won’t age well.

I’m flattered you fucking whore.

our fates are entwined whether you like it or not you stupid bastard

You know, I’m not an eye avatar or anything, but the temptation to read home-stuck soully because someone who has read it told me not to read it is pretty strong in me now. Maybe if someone were to to text me and infodump me on the plot my burning curiosity would be satisfied enough to not ever touch it :^ .

This is an open invite to you homestuck girlies to infodump me btw.
