Live Read Fic: Ladybug's Feelings About Chat Noir's Feelings
Love how people say Vriska wants to be a good person, and just steamroll past her being a sx offender towards Tavros. Not to mention she has multiple opportunities to be a good person, but chooses not to nearly every time
Ocean O'Connell Rosenberg from Ride the Cyclone is such a Kankri but like ableist instead of sexist
Came here because I saw the Vantas video and wanted more Southern Kankri
Southern kankri is so fun to do
portgas d ace is a karkat and its not even funny
rin okumura is a karkat and yukio is a kankri.... it all makes sense
I'd honestly even argue that Alastor and Blitzo are Gamzees for their respective media
oh my god Medea from the ancient greek tragedy Medea is a vriska. i mean i KNEW it, but she fits 5 of the 6 categories here which is more than i was expecting medea is more of a vriska than juri from street fighter and that feels so weird to me
I love Cronus so bad... so horrifically bad... I wish I could stop... this video... is like.... succubus to me. Not a single lie was told. God bless you both. (side note: i am currently hyperfixated on cronus, i several years ago, was hyperfixated on the onceler - i hate whatever that says about me) thank you.
6/7 Cronus points myself.... the world is so cruel
Crongratulations :)
Vriska reminds me a vergil from devil may cry in the sense of masking insecurity with appearing powerful
it hurts me seeing hussie wrangle gamzee like that, can't get my mind off them for a long time
I would call ROTTMNT leonardo/donatello vantases. karkat/kankri, respectively! and perhaps splinter...?
nami from one piece is kind of a vriska ngl. earlier nami more so, such as before/right after she joined up w/ luffy 1. she's a dirty, nasty girl who is really trying hard to be a good person, or at the very least do what she believes is the right thing: i mean, she IS a thief and a pirate. at the start she was mainly looking out for herself (and her village). she can be mean as hell, but ultimately strives to do good 2. often influenced and groomed by a creepy older adult, usually a man, with his own goals for her growth: literally arlong 3. will often comphet on some boy: she does use mens' attraction towards her to her advantage. not really comphet but shes 100% a lesbian 4. has a complicated, turbulent, and emotional relationship with nefertari vivi: ok so theyve ever gotten enemy level complicated, their relationship is definitely quite intense and emotional (ESPECIALLY during the baroque works/alabasta arc) 5. they cause problems on purpose: she has definitely caused problems on purpose more than once 6. oblivious: while she's definitely one of the smart ones, she has her moments sometimes. like when she thinks she can do something completely on her own and doesnt need any help, no way!!! (she is wrong)
Music is too loud.
Hot take: no matter how scary Sober Gamzee was, at first, it actually ruined his character, in hindsight. Gamzee's reason for killing is literally just "LMAO killer clown!" Gamzee's character-depth actually completely evaporated, as soon as he got sober. He was far deeper, when he was a total goofball, in my opinion. He had abandonment issues and underneath his chill and funny attitude was an underlying sorrow. There were ZERO hints that he was a relentless killer, if he didn't eat Sopor-pies all the time, prior to this. Karkat knew that he was a "high blood", literally everyone knew this and none of them ever said: "let's hope that he never goes sober or he'll turn against us" unless I'm mistaken.
oh my god i just realized. aranea had more foreshadowing and actual reason for her sudden face-heel turn. motherfucking aranea "game over" serket. this entire webcomic was just a really big one-off fluke huh
@@novameowww it's also funny how even the silliest characters of Problem Sleuth got treated more respectfully than most of the cast of Homestuck. And Problem Sleuth was far more comedic!
Homer + Flanders = Vantas
Miss Power from WordGirl is so much of a Vriska it's insane. She even has the blue lips to boot!!!!!!!!
How about Mina from Dracula? Lucy could also qualify, but I think Mina is more motherly.
I'm loving the impact of dracula daily on the internet and now I think all the vampire characters in Dracula should glow
Good vid but could really use better audio mixing.
Yeah unfortunately I realized that too late D: ty tho ♥♥♥
i really love gamzee, not just cuz i kin him but i also cuz he is a pretty interesting and misunderstood character, i hate how hussie handled him post act 5. this is a very good video btw
Gamzee could've worked far better, if Hussie didn't just retcon him being a sweetheart to everyone around him, into something along the lines of "t'was AAAALLL just an act, bro~" , when he got sober. as in "Gamzee's friendships were never genuine, he was just friendly, because he got stoned and would've killed every single one of his 'friends' with glee, if he would've always been sober from the beginning, LMAO!" this just felt like Hussie being spiteful, just for the sake of it. and the fandom being like: "nonono! it was Lil Cal who drove him mad! he DID care about his friends, at some point" seem to forget what kind of author Andrew Hussie is. so many plotpoints in this comic only exist, so Hussie could troll his own readers! and retconning a sweet and caring character into a total psycho, who was always evil, from the very beginning, just "because you can"?... yeah that seems really on-brand for Hussie.
I feel like Heather from Total Drama is at least Vriska adjacent, while she wasn't unassuming at the beginning (and not groomed that we know of), she is doing what she does for a goal in mind, gets messy throughout her stay, and has those complicated relationships with multiple people (Harold/Alejandro for #2 and Courtney/Gwen for #3)
love the fact that this video is starting to affirm my recent, already pretty strong suspicions that number 5 from the umbrella academy is lowkey a bit vantas coded
Oooooh please elaborateee
@@BlenditMediaidkkkk THERES JUST SOMETHING ABOUT HIM. i mean the dude has a literal physical fight with himself (very karkat) (the entire fighting w ur future and past and alternate past future selves thing honestly) just something about the way he like. feels so responsible for the fate of the world? also very dad-leader trying to keep his family from killing eachother and desperately trying to get them to work together? the ISOLATION. oh the isolation THAT'S LIKE HIS ENTIRE THING. he's not associated w the colour red really but i feel like he's very. red-coded? in a way? the daddy issues. "not very good at what he does, at first" what else can i say besides. they should honestly rename him to five "really sucks at time travel to the point he refuses to attempt it most of the time bcs he knows it'll probably backfire" hargreeves at this point my man does NOT know what he's doing!!! also it's just something about the way he talks. like he talks very "karkat if he was somewhat normal and calm and not so shouty all the time" imo
this started as like. a random shower thought about a week ago and has now consumed my entire brain. all i think about now is five/karkat parallels it's a curse
I was obsessed with Raven when I first watched Teen Titans- Teen Titans was my first big media hyperfixation & Raven my first big character hyperfixation, and Gamzee the most recent one, and I had never considered any paralells between them until I watched this. But when you explain it it makes sense. And it's just caused me to have another big revelation like months later lmao. If Raven is Gamzee then Robin is Karkat HEAR ME OUT ON THIS Firstly bc Raven & Robin are moirails (and if you watched Teen Titans and read Homestuck and don't see see this then you need to watch it again) but also because- he's the one that gets so neurotic trying to manage everything and everyone, the leadership/hero complex and the stress that comes from it, the stubbornness and impatience for when other people mess things up/Do Things Wrong, the way he cares too much, even Red (TM). Theyre literally the red and purple omfg. I color picked the shades of red and purple from the silhouettes in the Teen Titans intro and in the panel with Karkat and Gamzees silhouettes jumping at each other and its like. almost the same. And then with the End arc where shes locked in this "deal with the devil" situation Robin's the one that steps up to try to hold her back from it. It's like. Raven and Robin are the good ending. and Gamzee and Karkat are the bad ending. Does that make sense? like this is the same potential except one goes right and the other goes horribly wrong and the potential is wasted because hussie is a jerk. I think I might just be losing my mind?I think it might just be all the brainrot I have about both of them? All four of them? The moirallegiance brainrot that I've ALWAYS had even before I knew what moirallegiance was?? ughhh. someone tell me i'm not totally insane right now
oh god i just realized something else. robin has this sort of intensity that's almost always present, like he gets worked up about things and doesn't know how to chill, but it's relatively less dangerous compared to raven's. then raven has a much more dangerous intensity to her but it's almost always dormant, it only comes out once in a while but then when it does it's really bad. like normally shes totally calm but. buried deep under that shes ridiculously powerful and it scares people. something about kanaya's "dangerous people can be important" spiel and and and.... malchior's spiel about being powerful and different being seen as 'dark' or demonized.... can we add "really OP" to the list of gamzee traits? I HAVE BRAINROT
That is so interesting. I have never imagined Kankri as having a southern drawl, but it makes so much sense in hindsight.
Yeah it suits him
An an individual with autism, I'm interested in your reasoning why you believe Kankri it. A few examples would be nice, if that's okay.
MY AUTISM GO BRRRR MORE OF THIS BEAUTY PLEASE 💖✨️🤩
I think alex Eggleston yiik is a kankri becuz hes an asshole
While I don't see gamzee as totally innocent (Optimistic duelist's vids on him and his arc are great) he's nonetheless a tragic character and arguably as deep and empathy worthy as all the other characters. Hussie and a lot of the fandom don't take him and his story seriously enough (Both haters and the 'gamzee is a pure innocent bean' crowd)
im cod im a cronus
will it Batman ?🤔
Turns out it will Batman! Or at least this emotionally constipated man does XD
@@BlenditMedia well we can't argue with science😁
For Beastars the bear Riz seems more like the intended gamzee-type in the narrative than Legoshi imo 🐻
JAYFEATHER IS A VANTAS I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL
disgustingly realizing im a vantas
Back when I first watched this video, I refused to acknowledge how genuinely amazingly written and awesome it is, because of hateful biases impressed upon me by my father. Disregard any of these previous, cringey, deluded, 15-year-old Savy comments. That part of me is long gone, and I've very happy to be the version I am now.
Hey, I’m really fuckin proud of you. It takes a lot of growth to be able to admit something like that, and I wish you much growth and prosperity and love. <3
@BlendItMedia Wow, I never expected an actual response. Thank you for the kind words, I will take them to heart ❤️
white people arent analyzing characters through jungian archetypes anymore, theyre using homestuck characters
ADAM PARRISH HYDSJKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
i love this video so much but the music is so loud
The more I watch the list, the more I realize my Homestuck human OC (who exists on my own AU version of Earth C), Dawn Ionnut, is a Vantas... Edit: She's NOT sexist, but GOD does she fit pretty much everything else...
Hey is the but make it Homestuck videos disappearing for anyone else?!
yeah, i'm removing the ones with the old host. i don't know how those episodes got unprivated but i really, really do not want the old episodes to be up. sorry about that. you were right that the episode about TUA was recorded in early 2020 though; unfortunately that tipped me off that something happened to those videos' privacy settings.
@@BlenditMedia Sorry about that. I'm glad I could help you figure that out. I would love to see some of those characters/pieces of media revisited in the future if you decide to do more Homestuck content. (TUA and MHA). I'm new to this channel so I didn't know something happened with the old host.
I am in the process of revamping this channel, and while i probably won’t be returning to exactly the old format, I really want to revisit both of those pieces of media now that there’s more of both. And yeah, in retrospect it is hilarious that I pinned Klaus as the transmasc-coded one and not Viktor lol. I also tried not to be public about what happened; we just had a falling out and she asked to be disassociated from the podcast. Didn’t want to go back on that request haha. Seriously though, thank you for commenting and thank you for your interest :) i really really hope to come back to these someday.
Clara Oswald is a vriska :O
Damn I haven't thought about Clara in years! Please do elaborate :0
I'd argue that Tomura Shigaraki from bnha is a Karkat turned Signless, or at least a corrupted "shadow" equivalent due to AFO's influence - he mellows out and gets quieter later on but clearly likes hearing himself talk at the start of his arc - incredibly stubborn, dead set on his goals and reacts very badly to failure - has red eyes and only gets more red in his design as his arc continues, peaking at the red coat at the end of the MVA arc and the red trenchcoat in the second movie (which seems to be mostly canon so I'm counting it) - uniquely marginalized (kind of, through a very complicated and fucked up series of events leading up to and including his indoctrination by AFO) - significant relationship with anger, no explanation needed - not straight, because I said so (spinneraki ftw) - interested in people, he's surprisingly observant and often analyzes others (though he's not always right), we see it with his attempt to recruit Stain, trying to recruit Bakugou by bringing up him getting chained up at the tournament, how he approaches learning Kai's motives and then putting all his trust in Toga and Twice during the overhaul arc, his later admission he wants to destroy everything... except what makes the other league members happy, how he talks about Twice wanting to save Giran during the MVA fight, just his behavior towards the league in general - mental health is significantly impacted based on if and when he remembers his mother (and family in general), having literal panic attacks as a child and dissociating and puking mid fight as an adult, was abused by his father and only kept somewhat happy pre-quirk manifestation by his mom, sister, maternal grandparents, and later the knowledge of his paternal grandmother's identity - regularly monologues at his opponents on why and how they suck and how the league will kick their ass, all of his rants are just more verbose versions of "L + skill issue + seethe + mald + cope" because he canonically played league of legends as a teen and knows no other ways of reacting to victory, this behavior only lessens once he gets literally possessed When we first meet him in his twiggy tumblr sexyman era, he matches Karkat almost to a T - after getting groomed into dissociation and partial amnesia, he loses all memory of his family for most of his life, including his mother - starts out as a very irritable and incompetent leader and his first actual mission fails spectacularly, his second one goes fine for a while and then falls apart within minutes - definitely in hiding, could be argued to be partially due to marginalization - again, I don't gotta explain him being grumpy and prickly, he calms down a little but it never fully goes away - very bad at what he does at first, ie leading the league - self-centered and doesn't like admitting his mistakes or when his temper causes him to lose out on allies He gradually improves and is quite competent by the end of MVA, which is the peak of his arc before his character development is backtracked due to aforementioned possession - reverses his amnesia and remembers he had a good mom (depending on your definition) - fully actualized leader, earns the respect and admiration of his most critical team member and also that giant fucking rock dude - again I'd argue the way he treats Twice, both during MVA and the overhaul arc, as counting under "helping others on their own terms" but that could just be my bias talking because I'm partial to the monochrome deadpool - before the start of MVA the league has been on the run for a month with very little guidance from Tomura, during the early parts of the arc he goes without sleep for days while still not communicating with his crew, and then after the end of the arc he isolates himself to let the doctor experiment on him - found family babyyyyy - not gay as in happy but queer as in polycule (and also gay as in homosexual) again, because I said so (minus Toga obviously) - we don't know how the current arc is going to end but I'd argue the way he reacts to AFO possessing him and his behavior afterwards are being at least somewhat equivalent to unwilling martyrdom, death of the mind and the self rather than the body, if you will Also Spinner is 100% a Vantas too, though I don't know if he's more Karkat or Kankri, I'm leaning towards Karkat because he's a knight of void but idk - certified yapper - very hardheaded and takes a while to convince to change his beliefs or approach in any way - pink by birth, red by choice - is actually a part of a marginalized group in the setting, self-isolated due to rampant bigotry, and later has to face a chapter of a hate group that specifically call him out and dehumanize him because the league is robbing their base - has his outbursts occasionally but mostly has a very subdued relationship with his anger, which is justified in most cases, either because someone is being bigoted towards him, are acting like they're better than him, or the subplot of MVA where he's upset with Tomura's lack of direct leadership for the month where the league's floundering, but even if his anger isn't loud it's still important to his character and development - incredibly, deeply, painfully in love with Tomura, I will not take any criticism, this isn't even headcanon at this point they're just gaymers - his interpretation of the right thing at the start is borrowed from someone else but he fully believes and sticks to it, later on his idea of it evolves (in both positive and negative ways) but he's equally as committed to it, he disregards his actual desires and emotions in favor of doing something he thinks will help Tomura - he doesn't hate himself, he hates how empty and hollow he is and how he's never able to do enough to justify his place in the league/by Tomura's side (and other copes void players with marginalized identities tell themselves to avoid crying in the bathroom at 11 pm) - regularly puts himself in danger, up to and including accepting being given a quirk that fucks up his body and mind, all because he thinks it's his sole duty to help Tomura (there's a very unhealthy pattern here but the guy saw two of his friends die, one hospitalized and arrested, and the last person his age that treats him like a person is his gamerbuddy mancrush that got possessed and put through unimaginable torture, so it didn't exactly come out of nowhere) - very low self-worth, as previously established - beats himself up mentally but also actually hurts himself by taking on ridiculous responsibilities for Tomura's sake - is manipulated into being a leader and symbol for a revolution without having any input on how it's run - used to be a shutin due to living in a bigoted community in the south - very grumpy and prickly, just a very sensitive guy in general, all his feelings are big feelings - probably in denial about liking men - ass at fighting when he's first introduced, gets better eventually but never really masters it - while Spinner himself is not a bad-faith parody, the newest war arc includes a mutant quirk revolution which includes a self-interested rich mutant leading the rally for personal gain, a bunch of mutant civilians getting angry at and attacking "human-faced people" (actual quote), and a mutant UA student claiming what they're doing is "setting the movement back 30 years", all the while the quirk Spinner was given prevents him from speaking or even thinking clearly, leading to him basically being used as a living mascot by the rich guy, this seems to be hori's attempt at "criticizing" social justice movements, needless to say it's bad - this changes later but he starts out basing all of his actions purely on Stain's words, not even because he fully believes in them but because Stain is the first person he's seen countering the status quo and he feels carrying on his legacy gives his life purpose, he almost compromises the league's first mission because he holds Stain's ideology above all else, and he brings it up a lot for the first few arcs he's in - Spinner is autistic, I will not elaborate (please ask to me elaborate please please please pl) - his internal set of rules is basically just what Stain said, and he sticks to those rules to the letter until around the middle of the MVA arc - we don't get to learn if and how his views on hero society change after MVA, but before that he still believed that hero society was good in theory but needed to be cleared of bad apples, he even idolized All Might despite being a part of a group that was fighting and actively trying to kill him, and he was conflicted about Tomura's decision to kill cops when retrieving Kai, I hate to admit it but he's a reformist, or at least started out as one - denial about the corrupt system, denial about his own unhealthy coping mechanisms, denial about being manipulated by AFO, denial about being hopelessly in love with his best friend, there's no shortage of denial just take your pick There's not much here for Signless other than themes of isolation and being an unwilling martyr, but these are my half-baked thoughts born from the darkest saddest depths of my autistic obsession with a gaggle of fictional gay criminals

queer isnt a slur it was, but it isnt
just subbed (thumbs up)
Believe me, I call myself queer often, but I did want to be respectful of people who don't like hearing it.
I see where you're coming from most people it isn't the slur to but all, I'm still a very young queer in a fairly accepting area and I've never met someone who considers it's a slur but I am young and I cannot speak for the entire community.
I appreciate the thought from a member of our queer family 💜 I guess where I'm coming from (as someone who identifies as fagdyke gender and queer sexuality) is that for all that I love the word and hold it close to my heart, I do still want to hold space for the people who do not relate to it.
you guys are cancer of this fandom.
