People don’t like to admit it bcs cringe or w/e but Homestuck really did revolutionize the webcomic as a storytelling medium and I am endlessly frustrated that before webcomic artists could really stretch our legs fucking webtoonz swooped in, set a new, more restrictive standard, and then monetized and monopolized the ever living fuck out of the concept of The Webcomic until it drove away anyone who couldn’t be a professional quality manga artist for free, and now the only webcomics that actually feel like spiritual successors to Homestuck are so obscure they’re basically cult classics that you have to beg people to read.
Like it’s just so wild to be in high school and see Homestuck be like “we’re using like fifteen different artistic mediums to tell this story bcs we can” and be really fucking inspired by that, only to grow up and see basically every webcomic ever have to conform to One Single Standard or fucking perish.
Actually, I realized my real point here: we all need to make our art weirder. Please make weird art. I want more stuff like Prequel Adventure and 17776 and MyHouse.wad and I want it now. Capitalism thrives on conformity. We must be weird at all costs.
My wife took all six of our meowths in the divorce and now she wants me to go stand on route 7 to battle trainers in doubles matches with her like nothing has changed.
How do I convince her I'm a strong, confident woman who won't be jerked around like this while also petting my darling babies?
ok. strategy for you. start only using full-field moves and i’m talking SURF i’m talking EARTHQUAKE. PETAL BLIZZARD. EXPLOSION. malicious compliance until she comes to a compromise

Every time I see another thing like this, my firm adherence to the idea that history is complicated and big events can’t be laid at the feet of a single person gets a little shakier.
