in this world, it's yeet or be yeeted.
Want to know my favorite little known homestuck fact? Not headcanon. Fact. Heavily textually supported fact.
So we know lowbloods, particularly goldbloods, frequently have “psiionic” powers which seem to mostly consist of telekinesis and the ability to shoot lasers from their eyes. Lowbloods with these powers are frequently forced into service as “Helmsmen” in the Imperial Fleet where they are implied to serve as basically the ship’s engine.
In Hiveswap Act 1, attempting to use Xefros’s powers on I think the autotune mic (but it may have been another electrical object) laughingly dismisses the idea that troll psiionics are electricity or can be used to power things.
In Hiveswap Friendsim Volume 4, Vikare’s story revolves around his obsession with flight and his attempts to invent powered air craft, making it explicitly clear that Alternia never invented aeronautics. They have no flight technology.
Are you beginning to see where I’m going here?
ALTERNIAN SPACE SHIPS AREN’T POWERED.
THEY JUST HAVE TELEKINETIC TROLLS PICK THE SHIPS UP AND THROW THEM.
HELMSMEN ARE LITERALLY PROPELLING THE SHIPS THROUGH SPACE TELEKINETICLY.
I mean, when you think about it, it makes sense! Why bother with rocket fuel and wings when you have a planet full of people who can make shit fly with their minds? But still, it’s hilarious to me that this incredibly technologically advanced civilization doesn’t have engines in their ships and don’t know how they work because when they need to go somewhere they just have THE LOWBLOOD GET OUT AND PUSH.
bonus for talk like a pirate day:
[ID 1/2: Doc Scratch narrates Rose's life, saying "from a young age, you realized the mirrors never showed your reflection; they showed you how you'll look in a month. one day, your reflection is gone." Rose continues the narration: "'huh, I guess I am gonna go through with it'. 'what?' calls my vampire girlfriend from the other room. 'tell you later' I say." Kanaya joins her by the mirrors and sees what she meant. / end ID 1. I hope that was understandable.
ID 2/2: Joey poses in a pirate costume. Elwurd, giving her a thumbs up of approval, says "pirates and wlw, can't get any better than that". / end ID 2/2]
ggrrr, argh.

I was wrong about there being 2 musicals, I misread talkback as callback, which is the name of one of her other musicals

So I’m thinking I’m gonna make a series of these with Marsti as a waitress. She's just so memeable!

This is what they talk about while they wait for MC to show up for anime club. (text source: fozzie and shinysylveon on tumblr)
[ID: Tegiri (referred to in the original text as "cop") is investigating a crime, and asks, "can you describe the woman who stabbed you?" Zebruh (referred to as "male author") strikes a dramatic pose and replies, "lithe, spirited, outgoing, and not afraid to speak her mind. she was a raw sexual force and she knew it. she was dandelion fluff on a summer day, gone in an instant, leaving you with nothing the memory of her touch and the faint taste of strawberries on your lips." the cloaked woman who stabbed him is behind him, looking pissed. Tegiri says, "great, we have a motive, but we still need a description." / end IDs.]
opalescent-apples reblogged this with the tag "undescribed". I hear ya! I've been meaning to add image descriptions to my old posts, so here's a start! if y'all have any other specific posts you'd like image descriptions of, you can reblog them like this and I'll see it, or you can send asks. I want to make this blog more accessible, so please keep letting me know which posts to prioritize!
one more thing, after all the time that has passed since I made this, I still can't fucking believe that the first thing Zebruh describes her as is "lithe", which can mean "graceful", but it also can mean "skinny". she was strong enough to stab a highblood and he immediately wants to say that she's skinny. ugh.
She’s coming back to finish the job!

It’s good that they can look on the bright side, I suppose.

You just know she's pronouncing "lol" as three separate letters and not like one word.
