i keep learning about beloved artists who turn out to have done work on homestuck at some point and i think homestuck feels like
when in a show or a game there was once this really unethical training program that produced some of the greatest supersoldier savants in a generation or something but no one wants to repeat it again
authors too
When you meet your stoic or reserved f/o, you can’t help but wonder: what does their laugh sound like? Maybe you try to pull it out of them intentionally, or maybe you try to wait patiently for it to come out naturally, but either way you find little success. Until one day, completely by accident, you do something funny and endearing enough that an amused smile isn’t enough to contain their mirth. Whether it’s a few chuckles or a full blown giggle fit or booming laughter that shakes the room, it’s the most beautiful sound you’ve ever heard.

new ask game: send me headcanons you have for my f/os based solely on the posts i make about them
doesn’t have to be ship-related or anything, i just want to know people’s impressions of them if they didn’t know the character or source material, and i thought it would be fun >:3c
ok 2 rb!! practice reblog karma if u can!!
This blog is going to be a year old next month.
I, Toko (😼🔪) started the blog when I wanted to get the self shipping community.
Self shipping, and self inserts–before they had a separate community, and then were just an element of fandom– were how I started in fandom, back when I was a teen in the early 2000s.
I didn’t know the self shipping community was a thing until around 2 years ago.
Around 2 years ago, while I had been blogging a lot about one of my kintypes, I ran into a guy who self shipped with that kintype of mine.
I got a big crush on him through his s/i and his self ship content with my kintype.
I followed him for months.
I promised myself I’d only interact with him anonymously, because I didn’t want to make things weird for either of us.
But through anon, yeah, I started flirting with him a bit.
Then one day he updated to say he had covid.
He never updated again after that.
His penultimate post was just a reblog, about how much online connections can mean to someone.
So I kinda got into the self shipping community to fill the void that he left behind. To honor his memory.
I barely knew him, and he barely knew me.
But I loved him in a way.
I want to put more love in the world. To fill the empty spaces we all touch.
Anon, I am having unimaginable emotions knowing that song made you think of me. It is so amazingly gratifying and enriching to be known and thought of, and understood.
To say you made my day would be a huge understatement. There are no suitable emojis for this. I will think of this moment for years down the line.
