i think andrew hussie is a master class case study in author anonymity
like, who even gives a shit about death of the author when the author barely exists metatextually anyway? his public friends are all people associated with or who worked at one point on homestuck, his social media reveals nothing about him personally, and the only pieces of personal information he discloses are pieces of disjointed, unrelated, or “is he joking?” type material. i know he’s a sagittarius but i don’t know if he has parents. i know he has a giant blue horse dildo somewhere in his home, but i don’t know which state he lives in.
nobody within the past 500-600 years of literature has managed to write something as big as homestuck and remain as secretive as he has. most authors are tempted by the fame offered to them via their work and immediately flood their audience with personal disclosure, try to make themselves celebrities. not hussie. hussie wrote one of the biggest pieces of internet literature in history and stayed completely off the map for all of it.
update: apparently he’s not a sagittarius, he’s a virgo. great so the only thing i knew about him was that he owned a giant blue horse dick
all i know is that he once sent shelby cragg none pizza with left beef
I heard you can only see him on foggy nights behind an olive garden after downing 5 faygos mixed with red bull and if you beat him in a fist fight, he reveals all the secrets of Homestuck
The caveat is that in revealing all the secrets of homestuck you’re just left with more questions and he just disappears from existence, never to be seen again. you have to use fidget spinners and pixil measurement and go all matpat just to find out how tall he is
my fave greek history story to tell is that of agnodice. like she noticed that women were dying a lot during childbirth so she went to egypt to study medicine in alexandria and was really fucking good but b/c it was illegal for women to be doctors in athens she had to pretend to be a man. and then the other doctors noticed that she was 10x better than them and accused her of seducing and sleeping with the women patients. like they brought her to court for this. and she just looked at them and these charges and stripped in front of everyone like “yeah. im not fucking your wives” and then they got so mad that a woman was better at their jobs then them that they tried to execute her but all her patients came to court and were like “are you fucking serious? she is the reason you have living children and a wife.” so they were shamed into changing the law and that is how women were given the right to practice medicine in athens
i call this piece “backgrounds are for chumps who actually know what they’re doing with their lives, please help me im so lost rn”. commissions remain open.
