my dad, teaching me how to grill: now the heat takes care of a lot but if you were really homophobic you might be looking at the thing, asking yourself, is this clean?
me, desperately keeping a straight face: dad do you mean germophobic

Just to add another factoid about the sheer length of Homestuck. To read to yourself at an average reading speed takes over 24 hours, but a dramatic reading makes things even longer: Let’s Read Homestuck is currently nearing the end of Act 5:2, and is already over thirty hours long.
This said, don’t let the length put you off. Homestuck is an enjoyable and rewarding reading experience. It’s funny, inventive and clever!
the current thing trad losers are losing their minds over is one singular dude on reddit that refurbished and hand painted a grandfather clock and they keep saying the guy “ruined its value” or “threw thousands out the window by vandalizing a precious heirloom” and let me just say as someone densely familiar with the world of antiques, there’s a 99% chance that this clock was a mass produced reproduction and there’s a 100% chance that clock is not as valuable as ppl think it is. when people hear the word ‘grandfather clock’ they’re always gonna assume you’re talking about something that was handmade in a woodshop by a jolly old man when rlly repros take up a waaay bigger slice of the market far more than any handcrafted items. and besides people will repaint or redecorate these ‘oh so sacred handcrafted items’ every day there’s a huge market for them. it’s the same reason why people like long furbies or dolls that have been customized to have like gore mouths or something. this is literally like watching a bunch of pretentious farts make a mountain out of a molehill. also the clock is kinda cool if I’m being honest
this is what’s got them so mad. like the dude didn’t destroy it or anything, just made it more interesting to look at. when I see this I don’t go “this man is a danger to society because he RUINED a precious antique” i just think to myself “huh that’s actually some very impressive work with patterns, getting all those intricate geometric shapes done with just paint must’ve been hard work and it looks cool and the colors really pop” but idk maybe that’s just because I’m not completely deranged
any emmet getting sent to hisui content is amazing, but i particularly like the idea of him not understanding wtf is going on and becoming a sorta mountain cryptid that no one is brave enough to get near
