yeah, i don't see why i shouldn't.

trying to define who or what counts as "real" or "fake" plurality doesn't solve anything. if only traumagenic systems count as "real," "valid," or "deserving of support," then people who don't want to be seen as fakers will start saying they're traumagenic. that's for any imposed criteria, really.

but if people make enough criteria that others must meet to be seen as "real," then the only ones who end up passing are incredibly skilled liars... making nobody "real."

it feels like an unwinnable battle, and a pointless one at that. i'd rather accept endogenic systems as "real" by default, instead of having my choice depend on if they meet whatever criteria for what "real" plurality is that week.

this goes for pretty much anyone / anything, by the way. i don't like having people (or a label) tell me who / what i should or shouldn't accept / support. i'll decide for myself... and i hope more people realize they can do the same, too.

oh fiddlesticks, i haven't actually read much of homestuck^2... it doesn't sit right with me to leave you empty handed though, so i'll take a shot at this!

i'll say first that i think they'll have the 4 aspects that the alpha / beta humans didn't have (rage, blood, mind, doom) and the four unused classes (bard, theif, sylph, mage)...

yiffany seems pretty mindbound. at first i thought "oh man that name's meant to piss readers off on a meta level" since it's apparently one of the two "non negotiable" aspects of homestuck^2, but at the same time, her "disdain for authority" is giving mind aspect... and a part of me is screaming "Thief" here.

tavvy seems to have a lot of supressed rage in him... and he seems pretty... rage-y overall. like "falls from the ceiling with two cans of faygo, interrupting a discussion about an affair" is about as rage-coded as you can get. the "out of Nowhere" part miiight be a sylph thing? tentative sylph of rage.

harry feels blood-coded. his dad (john / june egbert) named him after someone they looked up to pre-sburb, which is pretty blood-coded imo. considering how the parent-son relationship is here... my guess is gonna be mage of blood.

(how many omega kids are there? i only saw 3 humans, but the "unused classpects" needs 4... i gotta get around to actually readin' this.)

twiz is my oc! she's uh...
uhhhhhhh
[at least five minutes pass while i make a continuous "uhhhh" sound like i'm struggling to make a fast food order]
...
i... i actually have no idea how to describe her.
whenever i try to comprehend this motherfucker i get at least like five "???" moments per second. BUT i will make an Attempt regardless of her incomprehensible nature. long post ahoy!!!

so twiz is like... a girl husband. feminine himbo. (fembo?) and protagonist flavored, but not main character syndrome... more like... rpg protagonist flavored i guess???? but like silent protag that isn't silent. shonen anime protagonist??? ???

she has funny wizard (Twizard) magic and in-universe RPG Protagonist Privileges. like, she can just walk into people's houses, and not get shooed out unless she annoys the people that live there or something.

and!!! she can resurrect people! this is a problem because she rezzes people who should Not be alive! and people who should Really stay dead! two people who can't be alive at the same time without running the risk of Violence? sounds fine to twiz!

...well to be fair she doesnt know about that one until it happens, because Neither of them knew the other would be there too. it's miscommunication, but like. Reasonable??? cuz. the only way that this shitshow could've been prevented is by at least one of them infodumping their angsty backstory to twiz.

but i'm not sure if even that would stop it, because Twiz Is Horrifyingly Optimistic. she'd probably go "huh, that other guy i resurrected and befriended five minutes ago has the same name as this guy's archnemesis that he's blaming for all sorts of things... what a coinkydink! i'm sure this will be fine :)" and then be suprised when it isn't a "funny lil coinkydink"

tldr: Twiz Is A Special Kind Of Stupid... but it's kind of justifiable???
