i dont think homestuck should be marketed toward teens i think teens need to go on the weird internet journey of finding homestuck themselves, i dont approve of giving homestuck to the teens on a silver platter, back in my day we got redirected to the mspaintadventures tvtropes page 4 times before finally giving up and reading homestuck and trying 3 times and then getting obsessed and then the guy sitting next to you in english class reads it over your shoulder and 3 years later you have matching GAMEGRL and GAMEBRO shirts.
the future is coming at us fast, and it looks like homestuck in every fuckin’ bookstore in the country, the timeline with hot topic exclusive vriska serket funko pop variants is not so far off after all, will we live to see “which beta kid are you?” buzzfeed articles? we just might. only time will tell
Ok so today I was on the bus with another trans guy and we were talking about how hard it is to get testosterone. The waiting lists, the price, all the doctors you have to go to, that kind of stuff. Except, we were calling it ’T’, like you do when you’re both closeted and in public.
Then suddenly the elderly lady sitting behind us was like ‘young men, either I’m going crazy or you both have never heard of supermarkets, they have shelves full of tea there! Do you need directions to one?’
To which my buddy starts to explain, because why not. ‘Well you see, we’re both trans, and… ’
The lady didn’t wait for him to finish his sentence. ‘Oh no, I don’t mind that at all! Now do you want to know how to get to a place that sells tea? I’m actually heading there right now!’
We let her take us to the supermarket. We let her show us, excitedly, where the tea was. We both bought loads.
