john karkat is entering kindergarten this fall

john karkat will be graduating first grade this spring

happy eighth birthday john karkat

today in homestuck

A young man stands in his bedroom. It just so happens that today, the 9th of July, 2023, is this young man’s birthday. Although it was thirteen years ago he was given life, it is only today he will be given a (better) name!
What will the name of this young man be?

Today one of the kids at work wanted to know what their Zodiac sign was, and I don't know the Zodiac well enough off hand to be able to just rattle that off, so I went to the whiteboard and wrote the signs in order the only way I know how: by remembering the Homestuck Trolls and their placement in the Hemospectrum. Then, knowing I'm a March birthday and thus a Pisces, I was able to roughly figure out everyone's Zodiac signs.

Thanks, Homestuck.

list of the most moments in homestuck of all time:

- when dave is in his room after 3 years and looks at the selfies he took when he was younger and starts laughing and then crying

- when aradia is giving her soliloquy at the end of hivebent and you have to scroll all the way down that really long panel and she says "a scratch"

- when bec prototypes himself in [S] Jade: Enter and there's a split second before you realize what that means

- when kanaya sees vriska kissing tavros and throws the dress out of her room and starts crying and her lusus taps her on the shoulder and consoles her

- when dave is sitting on the roof with dirk and says "how did you tell your friends"

- the end of that last pesterlog between dirk and hal. you know what i'm talking about

- dave and rose standing next to each other waiting for the tumor to explode

- Future Dream Rose: Cease to exist.

IMPORTANT ADDITIONS

yknow what would be a fucked up phone feature

No, I don't. Please, proceed.

if whenever you plugged it in you had to manually enable charging mode and there was no built in way to automate it

That would be fucked up.

yknow what would be more fucked up

Football field full of viruses.

Abraham Lincoln teeth sculpture.

Really big vampire.

Inside-out Sweden.

if they added automatic charging mode but paywalled it

Yeah that's pretty fucked up.

happy late 13th BIRTHDAY to the TRAGEDY of SPECIALEST BOY ever 

little bit of pieta, little bit of the last supper, little bit of 90s nostalgia -- two months late with starbux but it’s DONE. been working on this here&there since 4/13 cause i really didn’t want my piece for homestuck’s historic 13th birthday to go die a slow death in my WIPs folder. (process video for this coming soon in my patreon).

whenever i feel too old to like homestuck i remember the children are 26 now and wouldn’t understand tiktok either. 90′s kids supremacy babey!!!!!! 

I LOVE being alive so I can be mediocre at SO many different hobbies

People in the tags keep saying this but unironically but this WAS unironic I actually do have hobbies and I am mediocre at them. And they do make me happy anyway

just the concept of a kid fusing with her dog... her dog that practically raised her since she was a small child and loves her so much that he'll bend the laws of physics to keep her safe. and now that love will always be a part of her, something that is both so comforting and so so isolating. she will never see him again

my backrooms take is that the cool thing about liminal space horror is that the strange environments themselves are capable of unnerving you for a reason you can't quite place, but when you put a scary monster that chases you in it, then it just shifts the focus away from the environment (and even stops you from being able to appreciate and notice what's fucked up about it (because you're too busy running away)) and at that point you could just have the thing be set in like a scary forest or abandoned power plant or whatever and get the same effect. it just kinda takes the entire liminal space thing and shoves it to the background where it's no longer the thing that scares you because the scary thing is the scary monster. and if you try to say "but they're just having fun let people enjoy things" i will shred you. me complaining about something doesn't stop other people from enjoying it. you don't have to like check in with me and get me to greenlight it every time you wanna make something. well not yet but maybe in the future

What made you want to start coding?

How I knew I wanted to make games: A friend let me borrow Chrono Cross and there was this secret ending where you could meet all the devs and they'd brag about all the godlike power they had because they made the game.

How I knew I wanted to make AI adjacent things: Tiny me misunderstood the plot of Terminator and thought they were going back in time to kill Sarah Connor because she MADE skynet and damn if I didn't want that to be me one day.

How I knew I wanted to be a programmer: One of my middle school teachers noticed I would sacrifice anything for a chance at the class computer. She said I should "go into computers" for a job and I was all "you can DO THAT!???"
