hi guys. you might follow my homestuck blogs on tumblr at dingodad or lime-bloods (where i archive my longer or more serious / insane posts). maybe you came here from twitter though i hear a lot of the young ones are over there these days. if that's the case you might have seen some of my analysis reposted on that site under my main account @JakeMorph.

maybe you want to talk or ask me a question about some of my posts that you've seen, or maybe you've never seen one before and would like a handy guide on just how to get started as a fan of me, Jake Morph, on the internet. WELL HERE IS A GOOD STARTER PACK FOR EITHER SUCH ENDEAVOURS:


- "Homestuck's Gnosticism" is a two-part essay breaking down the very rudimentary gnostic themes in homestuck in a (hopefully) accessible way. a VERY old bit of writing at this point that i can't even say with 100% confidence i even still agree with, but i think it stands as a strong example of the kind of analysis i like to partake in and the kind of homestuck analysis that's possible. plus the fact that it's old means you don't need a ton of extra context to understand what i'm saying; it's just a straight up explanation of what homestuck is about, starting from the absolute ground up.

PART I, "The Conflict": https://lime-bloods.tumblr.com/post/679482221344768000/gnosis

PART II, "The World / The Wheel": https://lime-bloods.tumblr.com/post/725058777234161664/gnosis-ii


- "Reading Roxy and Meenah as doppelgangers: a digression on manifestation theory" is a breakdown of roxy's arc throughout the comic (ranging from her first appearance as rose's mom in act 2, all the way to the conclusion of her story at the end of act 6 and into the epilogues) focusing specifically on her relationship to motherhood and her desire to have a baby. oh, and i also try to argue along the way that roxy/meenah/the condesce are all essentially the same character. to people who haven't read the essay, it's one of my more controversial points, but again i think it's a great example of the ways we can expand our understanding of homestuck through close reading. largely an elaboration on fellow blogger mmmmalo - familiarity with whose work isn't necessary, but would certainly offer some insight into the inner workings of the mind that makes these posts.

- https://lime-bloods.tumblr.com/post/764180174841479168/the-realisation-that-a-black-holes-gravity-is-the - some untitled analysis of homestuck: beyond canon and how it uses gravity and black holes as symbols for home and nostalgia. a lot shorter than the above posts; kind of returns to some of the ideas explored in "Homestuck's Gnosticism", but recontextualises and deconstructs them for the comic's sequel.


- https://lime-bloods.tumblr.com/post/779681917637361664 - this one got some traction on twitter so if you're here maybe you've already encountered it; following in a similar train of thought to the above post, it's an analysis of hs2's concerns with home and nostalgia as they pertain to childbirth, creation, and starting a family. why doesn't jade just use ectobiology if she wants a baby with dave so bad? what does ectobiology actually represent?


- "please god i need to know what U think of the whole “jadebloods are all female!” thing": this started off as a simple response to an anonymous question and was never intended as a manifesto of any kind, but it got so many notes on tumblr that it became emblematic of my approach to trolls, caste and gender. forget any of the epic, high-concept stuff above about metanarrative and gnostic philosophy; if there's an interpretation that's the lynchpin for all my other current analysis of homestuck, it's explained in this post. classpect, worldbuilding, Lord English and the cherubs... it all comes back to the "jadebloods are all female thing".

i have made so many hundreds or thousands of homestuck Posts this probably does not even begin to scratch the surface but like i said i think it's a serviceable starter pack. or at the very least it's a conversation starter! debate me! ask me what the hell i'm talking about and what's wrong with me... perhaps you are already a follower of mine and you have a favourite post you think deserves its place on this list ?! well.... whichever of these, applies to you, the thread is now yours

YAHOOIE my faborite Homestuck blog is here. Haven't been interacting at all because I hate using social media (forums and Discord dont count) but rest assured I am listening and learning.


I really enjoy your posts on gender in Homestuck, they've gotten me thinking bigtime about gender in other works of literature and in my own writing.

I've read a couple of your posts on gnosticism in Homestuck too, but I feel like I don't get it yet. My question is thusly:

How much background research have you done on gnosticism? Is there any reading you recommend beyond your posts and like wikipedia?

Every time I think or talk about gnosticism in Homestuck I pretty much just come to the conclusion, "Well, Dingodad says it's in there and they seem right about that but don't ask me what that means or how it relates to anything in particular."

hi :) i love your analysis. i think it's super interesting. i know you have made posts about Quadrants before and the way that they mimic heterosexuality (i will never be over the "sounds like she started beating his ass back" kismesistude joke. that was just real). the moirallegiance discussions of how moirallegiance mimics real life heterosexual norms has really got me thinking before and i've incorporated it a lot into my analysis of meowrails. my question is: have you sort of thought about how auspisticism factors into this model, and do you have any thoughts on the role that it plays?


I know that ash romance is relatively... rare in where it appears in homestuck, so i understand if not. me personally i think of ash romance as a way to more directly instrumentalize outside parties in order to preserve the mechanisms of society, specifically in romance. i will never forget how rose, for example, becomes a party to gamrezi's relationship that is paralyzed between preserving that relationship or intervening because she is too focused on if this romance is 'normal' on alternia, to the exclusion of understanding that it doesn't matter if it's normal, it's still deeply fucked up. given that this is one of the few examples of auspisticism that we see, it feels important that this is part of it, but i'm still unsure. thoughts?

Everybody needs to hear someone say “Nobody else will do. It has to be you", even if it's just once in their lives. As long as you can feel sure those words were sincere, you can live through anything, no matter how painful.an utena blinkie.
