look they RUINED my delightfully cheesy kuronxkeith and emotionallyconfused!shiro au so now we all have to pay!
but heres some more
bad concept time: kuron n keith were a Thing then kuron getting taken over happens and the fight and shiro being put back in kurons body BUT doesnt get kurons memories and so ISNT in love with him
shiros like what did i miss and keith doesnt tell him that he basically replaced keiths love in a weird way even though shiro was there first
BUT kuron still remains in like a weird subconscious consciousness (like shiro was in black)
so shiro feels like hes going crazy and everyones unhappy
basically shiro sits keith down and pleads with him to PLEASE tell me, keith! i dont know what it is but somethings not right and its KILLING you!
‘shiro-…..t-takashi and i were-’ 'wait, takashi?’ ’…yeah, i called him- yeah. we were….’ 'oh, keith…you guys were close, werent you? i cant imagine how you must feel right now then…im so so-’ 'dont! dont be SORRY for coming back, okay?? you were DEAD and he took your place and thats so MESSED UP i cant even under-understand it but obviously its RIGHT that you come back and he- and he–’ ’….wow, keith, youre… youre really upset. is- theres something more, isnt there? please, keith, tell me whats wrong.’ ’…okay. okay. he…we were….’ and keith just dissolves into a strangled ’i loved him’
moment of silence
moment of trying to understand
shiro struggles to say something but keith shoots up. 'so. yeah. that’s it. i’ll be fine. please dont…feel weird about it,'
and goes to leave
and when hes thinking about it alone shiro gets the weirdest headache
I thought I recognized this art so i looked at op’s blog
idk if y'all remember this homophobic mess of a comic. Granted people can change but op’s more recent stuff reflects the same views.
hi! wow, you have a good memory, this was almost a year ago!
I think you might have misinterpreted the comic. the joke was how she, an ace person, could forget something as obvious and familiar to other people as sexual attraction! I thought her reaction was so funny I suggested making a daily comic about it.
Lyd is my girlfriend! We’re in love! Passionate lesbian love. For four years now! Since that comic we moved in together and we’ve started building savings for our life together! We talk online (Twitter, we don’t really use tumblr) about struggles we face, homophobia, lesbian history and representation, and the intersection of being gay with being ace, not ace, gender conforming, and gender non-conforming. That comic you’re saying is homophobic might look like it to someone without the context of our life, and maybe it did cause a sapphic woman to feel alienated due to her sexual attraction. I understand that because I’ve felt that way many times from the words of both lgbt and non-lgbt people alike. But it was an accident, and while that can’t take away the damage, I promise that Lyd’s comics showing our happy life together, our posts online, even our youtube channel all do infinitely more good for fellow sapphic women and other lgbt people than this comic did bad. Lyd apologized for the misunderstandings and lack of clarity.
Please stop holding other lgbt people to an impossibly high standard. We have so many enemies in this world, the last thing we need is to be attacking each other for the smallest infractions.

how tf is “allosexuals experience sexual attraction” homophobic
fuckin lesbophobic….lesbians makin comics about being lesbians…goddamn cishet ace lesbians /SMOLDERING GALAXY BRAIN TAKE, THANKS DISCOURSE
I wish these people thought for one second before typing.
I’m usually pretty good at brute forcing my way through confusing things, but I honestly cannot think of a way to interpret this comic or even the story that inspired it as being homophobic in any way, shape, or form. And plus, my heart melts at the line of ‘romance isn’t dead, it’s just very sleepy’.
I’m trying to twist it into being homophobic and it doesn’t…let alone being a “mess of homophobia”.
It’s called copula deletion, or zero copula. Many languages and dialects, including Ancient Greek and Russian, delete the copula (the verb to be) when the context is obvious.
So an utterance like “you a bitch” in AAVE is not an example of a misused you, but an example of a sentence that deletes the copular verb (are), which is a perfectly valid thing to do in that dialect, just as deleting an /r/ after a vowel is a perfectly valid thing to do in an upper-class British dialect.
What’s more, it’s been shown that copula deletion occurs in AAVE exactly in those contexts where copula contraction occurs in so-called “Standard American English.” That is, the basic sentence “You are great” can become “You’re great” in SAE and “You great” in AAVE, but “I know who you are” cannot become “I know who you’re” in SAE, and according to reports, neither can you get “I know who you” in AAVE.
In other words, AAVE is a set of grammatical rules just as complex and systematic as SAE, and the widespread belief that it is not is nothing more than yet another manifestation of deeply internalized racism.
This is the most intellectual drag I’ve ever read.
Just a head’s up, when meat eaters say things like “I’m glad you’re not like most vegans you’re cool about it” what they really mean is “I’m glad you’re silent about animal cruelty so I can eat animals without having to think about it.”
No actually what they likely mean is “I’m glad you’re not like PETA and compare women’s bodies to beef and pork” or “I’m glad you’re not the type of asshole who blames poor people for not being able to afford healthy vegan foods instead of getting upset at the grocery chains who throw out tons and tons of perfectly good produce”
see also: “im glad youre not one of those vegans who compares the meat industry to the holocaust”. anti-semetic, sexist, racist, and classist rhetoric is unfortunately quite common among vegans and it’s disingenuous as hell to act like having an issue with that is silencing vegans.
Also “I’m glad you aren’t one of those vegans who thinks I should put my health on the line”
“I’m glad you don’t harass me over my life choices because you’re a decent fucking human being who realizes that throwing humans under the bus so you can have an ego trip is a shitty thing to do”
Also: I’m glad you’re not one of those vegans who lies about what’s in food they’re feeding me when I ask about my allergens so that I don’t have to risk literally dying
“i’m glad you’re not literally blaming global climate change on me, personally, for liking cheese while corporations dump pollution directly into the ozone by the ton because it saves them a few dollars”
“i’m glad you’re not getting on a moral high horse about animal cruelty while ignoring the human rights abuses that go into farming your vegan faves like quinoa”
“im glad youre not one of those vegans who quite literally torture their pets by not meeting their health requirements out of a deluded belief that veganism as a moral highground both applies to animals and trumps millenia of a natural diet in the wild
so actually im glad you dont silently commit animal cruelty”
the best thing in all of homestuck is when we saw what the kids would be like if they didn’t play sburb and grew up, jade, rose, and dave all became dedicated anti fascists who literally rebelled against a dictatorship and murdered important members of the regime, while john literally was just A Stand Up Comedian
I mean honestly I think that’s super important to acknowledge? John didn’t just become a stand-up comedian, John became a stand-up comedian after Jade left him behind to live his entire life into adulthood with )(er Imperious Condescension, who I am willing to bet was not a particularly loving figure. Dirk’s canonical interpretation of this is that John had a super high tolerance for fucked-up shit, but the John we see in Homestuck pretty canonically fell into depression after the end of the comic, after everything was over. John has a high tolerance for fucked-up shit when there’s work to do, and his work as interpreted in this universe was making people laugh as a comedian. And how much do you think that messed with )(IC, too? Here he was, all groomed and ready to be the heir to her company, and he’s standing on-stage letting people laugh at him. Because that’s what he wants, not what she wants for him. John fought her as hard as he could, in a way that only John could have ever fought.
