my favorite homestuck thing™ is when something you bump into is so vague and casual that like anybody could see it and enjoy it… but your homestuck sense………. that filthy fuckin homestuck radar you’ve got there….. that thing you earned from homeshit stuckademy after thousands of pages of asinine yet captivating circlejerk web content……. it just starts beeping.
and you know
you just fucking know
at one point i was talking to a friend of a friend and they seemed pretty cool but then they used the word ‘abscond’ and i looked at them and i could see the fear in their eyes because i knew their secret.
i find the decapitation meme really interesting, cus it feels like it was gonna happen for sure based on the fandoms sense of humour, but the way it works is based on how it happened in-comic
like a similar joke was gonna happen either way because even tho its a long comic where a lot of characters die repeatedly, dirk managed to get decapitated TWICE, but i feel the joke wouldve gone differently depending on whether both incidents were on purpose, both accidents, or one was on purpose and the other an accident
since both incidents were dirks idea, it became the joke that dirk comes up with being decapitated whenever hes faced with a problem (which is hyperbolic to comic effect, considering in the canon both occasions were life or death situations, but i love the hs fandoms hyperbole)
but i think that if both had been accidents, the fandom wouldve still come up with a similar meme, namely that this is just something that can randomly happen to dirk whenever. similarly hyperbolic comics would emerge of, like, him an dave playing frisbee and the frisbee accidentally decapitating him; him and the others are sitting around eating breakfast and his head falls off in his cereal. that kinda stuff
and if the first instance was on purpose but the other one turns out to be daves idea i imagine it wouldve been at least one comic of dirk complaining “wow you cut your head off ONE TIME and suddenly its A THING”; or if the first was an accident and the second was on purpose there would be at least one comic along the lines of dirk musing mid-battle “yknow actually, that decapitation worked out pretty well, maybe it will this time” (tho tbh i dont think these ones wouldve caught on as much because of the lack of room for hyperbole and possible applications for the joke)
but yh, this is just something i was musing about in the shower yesterday. i just think that this meme kinda perfectly captures a large part of the fandoms sense of humour in a few ways
i just think its amazing that we’re now imagining MEME AUS
roxy and dave develop NES games as a hobby and by “develop” i mean dave produces low effort shitty chiptunes and roxy fucks around with bitmaps from existing games and the end result is a title screen that insists you “press start to play” but whenever you do so hella jeff’s 8 bit pixellated face appears and a random compressed voice sample from an old NES game inexplicably plays (”BLADES! OF STEEL”) and after you do it a few times eventually sweet bro starts sassing you too
if you enter the konami code everything clears and geromy appears on screen, waves, and then it goes back to the original start screen
roxy and dave both swear there is a way to beat it but no one has figured it out yet
