So for context back in 2020 I used to love June x Sollux bc I was tired of Davejune being the only m/f bisexual ship on the already extremely niche pool of June content. And look at that they’re finally on the same room, the only time this happened was back on the dream bubble pirate ship YEARS ago.

I even made my icon them (which I might redraw later) so uh. I win I guess? They’re real, they stood on a room together, guess I can die now.

Once I saw someone saying that bigender Sollux was too on the nose and like that stuck out to me because you could say literally everything about Sollux is on the nose.

Sollux’s entire thing is duality, his two colored shades, his interest in coding is because binary, when he becomes half dead half alive, his interest in Aradia and Feferi are both extremes in the hemospectrum and are themed around Death and Life, on one of the flashes he has a brief crush on Gamzee, the pacific guy who just snapped and now switches between lower and upper case, Gamzee who btw is a capricorn, between aquatic and terrestrial life.

He has two dreamselves for fucks sake, that is never explained, his actual sign is derse even though he is in both moons, that is an thing that only happens to him and the one other goldblood, because their entire thing is duality.

My point is why would you argue that headcanoning him as bigender is too on the nose as if that has been a objection for literally anything else for his character? How is him being bigender different from other traits for his character being decided to match his theme?

That is how the trolls work, a lot of things about them like their hobbies and jobs (Terezi collecting Scales and being dragon themed, Kanaya being themed around Mother Mary, named Maryam, being forced into a “mom friend” role) as well as their goals and traits (Again Kanaya’s desire to “mother” the entire troll species by securing the matriorb) follows whatever the trolls theme is.

Using Kanaya as an example again, her constellation is usually presented as a woman, just chilling on the sky, and Kanaya is a woman, so her gender matches her sign, would that be considered too on the nose and forced like how Bigender Sollux apparently is?

Eridan being a man might also be “on the nose” since the Aquarius constellation is a male water carrier, Pisces is Aphrodite turned into a fish, who is a woman, Capricorn is Diyonisus turned into a sea goat, therefore is Feferi being a woman, Eridan and Gamzee being men are all too on the nose aren’t they? Should we start disregarding any headcanon that makes Feferi a woman, Eridan a man and Gamzee a man? Maybe! Since apparently that is on the nose, which very little things in Homestuck are, so we should keep those as far from the nose as possible.

Let’s take all of our gender headcanons and keep them as far from this universal entity known as “THE NOSE” as possible! Since that is a parameter that is worth using at all for things in homestuck, but only things related to gender, let’s just make Gamzee a woman so it’s not a direct reference to the gender of her star sign, because if a character trait of a homestuck troll is related to their respective star sign than it is bad writing! If anything about homestuck is anywhere near the facility of a single organ used for breathing and perceiving smells than it is bad.

So yeah I just wanted to be annoying about this because since when is something being too close the respiratory receptor a reason for us to avoid it. Are things like Karkat having a crab dad also on the olfactory orifices? Should we rewrite the entirety of Homestuck as to avoid things being there? Should we just remake Karkat’s dad into a horse since that is distant enough from his theme that it is no longer predictable or corny or whatever? Or are things too on the nose only when they are trans headcanons? Is that where we cross the line? When trans and nonbinary people dare to exist?

Look at my fankids

I like to think Void powers could cancel out Sollux’s doomed voices so if Sollux just like cuddled with Equius or Roxy he’d be able to fucking chill in silence for a little.

Have some Homestucks

Remember how Sollux is trans and chose his name Solluxander but can still be abbreviated to 6 for convenience. Karkat does the same when she transes and goes by Karkatherine or Kathy

This is going well.

Happy Homestuck day ft. Some Junesol
