Racing Turtles

hmm…

this is some of the eloquently and immediately compelling homestuck meta i’ve ever seen lmao. A+++ well done

hello i dont know you but based on this reblog we are enemies now. i hope you have a terrible week

You’re absolutely right

tony stark is just such a stupid character. hes like if batman sucked. literally every one of the avengers has powers that make them basically unstoppable but tonys like “i have enough money to solve poverty but im going to help the american imperial machine instead”

ahhh weapons kill people! gotta stop making weapons! *gives my best friend, a military commander, a wearable tank and calls it the “War Machine”*

those little rubber balls that old mechanical computer mouses use to have in them are now viable potion ingredients

*making an inviisbility brew* O Eye of Newt and Ball of Mouse……

okay i dont know anything about marvel and havent seen a disney superhero movie since iron man 3 but i hate thanos’ design because in every single trailer it’s cropped in JUST a certain way that makes him look like a horrendously fried white tourist

watch out for avengers: Infinity Tour coming out 2018

we all know Vriska was the troll equivalent of a DnD enthusiast but I think it’s often overlooked just how big of an interest it was for her. i’m guilty of it myself!!

but all of the trolls are easily identified as being into x thing or y thing based on what’s in their rooms, even moreso than the kids; equius’ room is literally just robot parts and bows and horse art, there’s very little in terezi’s block save for dragon scales and piles of law books; and aside from the broken eight balls everywhere, vriska’s stuff is like 90% role playing merch!! it’s just dice and game posters and drawings of her character and character sheets. it’s just all role playing material.

im not gonna be the one to say it’s super easy to identify a homestuck character as being a nerd in the traditional, unadulterated 90s pop culture sense by the fact that they’re wearing glasses; but vriska is such a traditional, unadulterated 90s pop culture nerd

it’s worth noting too that while she did have a character and we know she played in some campaigns for herself, what we see in homestuck is largely her DMing a session, and that honestly just explains so much of her character, you know… her whole obsession with engineering the perfect villain… the fact that she thinks she has the know-how to organise an army to defeat the god of time and death… she spent 6 sweeps of her life writing stupid DnD campaigns for her friends and it could not be more obvious in literally everything she does

So I’ve been thinking about how Caliborn’s Calcoin and Zillyloot shenanigans are the second time a Time player has involved themselves in financial shit as part of their questing So it got me thinking If Space is associated with matter, i.e actual solid items / objects / goods, then could Time also be associated with the value of said objects, i.e money? Or alternatively, Space is associated with creation (manufacturing) and so Time could be associated with the selling and the worth of the creation?

How about, Space is physical matter and Time is abstractions? I mean, Dave made a bunch of upgrades to his alchemiter that exploited the use of abstraction to get around physical objects. It does make sense.

Verbally Time players often undergo some pretty serious verbal contortions while Space players prefer to get to the heart of the matter. Hm.

Well one could argue that Time, itself, is an abstraction. I mean, until the invention of atomic clocks "Time" was entirely conceptual and had no real connection to anything. Ok, the general idea was you were keeping track of the sun's motion through the sky, but two people could track their "hours" completely different from each other(not that many people really cared to track hours until industrialization), and towns even more so. And lets not even get into the mess that was calendars |( There's a strong argument to be made that Time is really just counting :T
