I think the reason I like media homestuck and BNHA so much is because of the crossover potential. You can look at any cast of characters and put them in sburb with god tiers or turn their powers into a quirk and make them heros and villains. That being said, I think crossover potential heavily contributed to homestucks longevity and bodes well for BNHA. That and any media that uses quirk as a descriptor for an integral mechanic is a surefire success. Thank you for coming to my TED talks.
that’s a good theory i think! i always thought that part of homestuck’s major appeal was how much possibility it allowed for like… customization? projecting personality onto it? like you can figure out your troll blood color, your godtier classpect, your sburb planet, all sorts of shit like that.
another thing would be how it has a large cast that people liked to re-imagine into various AU situations. i feel like homestuck had like five hundred million AUs because the source material was so, so soaked in a really convoluted plot, shit was always hitting the fan, and lots of characters got killed off or were having a rough time and also there was usually like 3 of everybody, or maybe some of THOSE were dead, so like… it’s a lot! it’s difficult to parse and hard to play with. so people would take the characters they liked and put them in much more calm, more conventional settings. stuff like that, i think, really contributed to people connecting to homestuck and it’s characters
Character in a series: *starts getting a suspicious amount of character development, more screen time, and becomes a major focus in one story*
Me: Oh good, I was looking forward to getting to know more about this character! I can’t wait to see where they take thi-
The same character in a series: *dies*

i posted this in my DND group naming an NPC who is one of the players fathers who got stranded on an island. He got to shed some light on what his time with the players mother was like as well as his interests and hobbies were but due to a very very badly timed nat 1 on the players part, he ended up dying.
Y’all gone get Trump elected again cuz you so worried about finding a perfect human being running for election and they don’t exist. This why Trump won last time.
If a girl feels uncomfortable hanging out with you alone, and you get so offended by that, it makes you angry, she probably made the right choice.
I know I’ve reblogged this recently but still so spot the fuck on.
In general if a dude gets angry by you declining an invitation you made the right choice to say no
If they get angry when you say “no” to hanging out with them, what else are they going to get angry about you saying “no” to?
^^ Slight side note:
When I was online dating I used to do what so many of us do; set up a safety check with a friend. I used to be really slick about it; take a restroom break or quietly/subtle check and answer a text. Then I realized what a good marker it was to check if I wanted to actually be on this date at all. So at whatever time check in was supposed to be, I would pull out my phone and say “sorry, I just have to let my friend know I’m good”. If someone was vaguely offended, I might stay depending on the convo we had after. If someone was SUPER offended, I said “this is exactly why. Thanks for meeting me, I’ve got to go.” This happened three times I can remember and the first time my voice was shaking so bad as I said it because, you know. You never know what their response is going to be and he was so aggressively angry I was ending the date “over that”.
The person I ended up with? “Ah, yay-I’m-not-murdered check. Good plan.” Then when my phone was buzzing later (because we ended up on a five hour date on a Monday night) he goes “you should probably let them know you’re still alive. Do you have to go?”
*No woman I was ever on a date with was mad about this. Not one.
This is just like testing the breaks before driving an unfamiliar car guys, and you do NOT drive a car with no breaks. If they can’t handle “no,” it’s not safe for you to say, “yes,” and you need to gtfo of there so you don’t get run over.
Also, OP I love your url, it is perfect for this post.
