thinking abt the iterations of jack noir across the sessions and going hrgegehrbrbh because hes so fucking interesting.

like like listen listen the fact that. dersites as a society were created by sburb to be opposed to the act of creation, to literally be the agents of destruction. and jack noir is probably the most concentrated embodiment of this concept in the entire game.

and and jack noir in the trolls session...*creates* midnight city. like no listen fucking listen jack and the mayor exist as foils of each other!! and the fact that theres a jack that exists that made a city without royalty, without war, made in his own image of a gritty noire filmscape.

like listen to meeee spades slick is the antithesis to bec noir. he didnt *change* he just always had the capacity to care about others than himself and the fact that bec noirs life is so *empty*

like bec noir couldve done more much sooner if he wanted jade dead but the fact that becs loyalty and love for jade made him feel SOMETHING stayed his hand and it was only when she was gone did he commit to destroying the universe bc he has NOTHING.

but spades slick has shit he wanted to protect, or at least keep others from taking from him. and he continued to live after the universe was destroyed so he can build a life anew again like he actually has GOALS and he likes miss paint and is kind of goofy while still being a fucking bastard

and the fact that jack english is actually just. a Good Archagent that follows the Condesces command really goes to show how much of his actual animosity is concentrated around the black queen and their blackrom.

if its a good blackrom, you get slick and snowman. if its a bad blackrom, you get bec noir and a charred corpse.

just. ugh. jack noir. i love this guy. he sucks so immensely.

You guys do know that transitioning doesn’t change your entire personality, right. It doesn’t fix you. It doesn’t magically solve all of your problems. And it sure as fuck doesn’t make it so that your sole character trait is your gender. You guys know that, right?

June isn’t magically going to become a cutesy hyperfeminine bimbo type just because she transitioned. You guys do know who Egbert is in the comic, right? Is this how you think women act?

speaking from personal experience (albeit in the opposite direction): transitioning is not instantaneous, nor is it a magic cure for dysphoria and negative mental health.

it's a process that takes years, and while it gives you momentum, it's not going to magically erase all of your trauma and maladaptive tendencies. self-realization, becoming the most comfortable, happy, and healthy version of yourself, is something that takes time and effort and therapy for anyone, especially someone who's been through the level of bullshit that june has.

she doesn't decide to transition and then magically become a maniac pixie dream girl with no depression or self-isolative tendencies to speak of. she grows her hair out into a mullet-esque mop cut and gets a skort to wear around the house and goes to therapy, and it's hard.

it's messy and she struggles, but she tries. she tries, and she puts herself out there to watch shitty movies with dave and jade and debate the semantics of magic and wizardry with rose and plays pranks on karkat and gets into shenanigans with terezi, and it all works out in the end.

the crescendo of her transition isn't throwing out her cargo shorts or getting really good at makeup or whatever stereotypical bullshit is supposed to indicate ""femininity"", it's doing her eyeliner with sharpie because it's more practical that way and booking herself a stand-up gig at a comedy club. her routine is absolutely atrocious, a total groaner, and she goes back the next week to do it again because she loves it.

being a woman doesn't mean changing herself or her personality to fit in with some empty, corporate ideal of womanhood. it means finding the courage to express herself in a way that is true and comfortable to who she really is.

Long lived races but they have an extreme level of patience. 

Ancient vampire thinking a month long delivery is express shipping. Elves surprised their 1 hour late lunch order arrived so quickly. Robot in standby mode for years waiting for their dead human friend to wake up.

Was having fun until that last one

It's a shame the carapacians aren't included in most blood/species swap AUs. So much missed potential.

What the hell would prosptian Vriska be like?

Hell, what would prosptian Terezi and Karkat be like as well?

The worst prisons on Prospit are compared to luxury hotels on Derse.

And Karkat likely would have never developed his aggressive demeanour.

Prosptian culture contrasts a lot with Alternian troll culture, I think, even more so than human culture does.
