So while the last post is still fresh I figured this was a good a time as any to let off a little steam over the Homestuck updates.
This isn't going to be all that long, so don't worry. I just don't like all these blatant Jesus parallels they have going on. Okay, Sufferer is Jesus, sure, and I thought Kancestor as Mary was a cute idea as well, but we have a Mary Magdalene and a sort-of Judas and a torture instrument being used as a religious symbol and everything. It is just getting kind of over the top and it rubs me the wrong way.
Also, I don't like how Nepcestor is just the Disciple - is that the only thing she ever did with her life? Admittedly I think I've been biased by excellent fanart like this and this, but I expected her to be some kind of awesome huntress ("Huntress" even has eight letters!) and not just be defined by her relationship to the Sufferer. She could have been his disciple, but I don't think she had to be The Disciple, y'know?
(Also I'm not fond of Karkat/Nepeta becoming canon in general, but I know, I know, ancestors are not the same people and I'm starting to warm to Sufferer/Disciple anyway on account of cute fanarts, so whatever.)
(Also I don't like the idea of Redglare being an early troll-Christian because I have taken Hussie's flippant Formspring comment about Terezi being troll-Jewish way too seriously.)
(I'll shut up now.)
And on to Digimon!
I decided to do some montages for these moments, to make it more interesting and whatnot. These are my first ever montages of this kind so please let me know if they are any good, as I spent a long time on them. ._.
Day 19: A moment that made you happy.
Well, unfortunately, it turns out I really need to rewatch the show, as I could not remember all that many happy moments by myself. :( However! Yuki suggested Gatomon finding out she is the eighth Digimon, and at first I did not think I remembered the scene well enough to do it, but Gatomon was always my favorite character so I went and rewatched the scene and what do you know, it was pretty darn happy and heartwarming. ♥ Here's the montage.

That hug. Awwwww.
The happiness does not last of course as this is Digimon, but it works out all right for these two in the end. :B
(Also, watching this scene made me realize that Wizardmon is a hottie. Which... also made me happy. ._.;;; The first time I watched this show I did not yet have a thing for ponytails okay)
Day 20: A moment that made you sad.
Oh god you would not believe how sad I got going back to take these screencaps.

onnn myyyy looooove ;_____;
I am so glad they finally got back together again or I would have been sad forever. Heck, I could have used some of the reunions as the happy moment, but that would spoil this one. :B
Day 21: A moment that made you angry.
I wasn't going to montage this one, but I guess the montage bug bit me so I ended up doing it anyway.

I've hated this bit ever since the first time I saw it, and screencapping this I got angry again. They're tricking and forcing him into doing something he doesn't want to do. Look at those smug grins on Takeru and Daisuke's faces as they frog-march him into the capsule. I don't care how much it was for his own good or whatever their excuse was, it was a jerk move. I would have been so mad. I still am. >:|
I considered doing the 02 epilogue for this also but I thought that might be a tad obvious.
Also I stole this meme from
wraithi.

(I suppose I have to request digimon, but I think I know the answers to most of those because picspam. So. Madoka?
no subject
Tricky. Madoka it is!
❤ male:
Madoka has male characters?Ummm. ...Tatsuya I guess? I wasn't that taken with Kyousuke and no way I'm picking Kyubey. Plus, I like the idea of him and Homura being friends in the future. Like this. (http://i.imgur.com/8Xi5U.jpg) Aww.❤ female: This is a tough one for the opposite reason. :|a I really like all the girls, but I think it's a tie here between Madoka and Homura. They both become really awesome characters in the end and I just. I love 'em both. Don't make me break them up. D:
✖ least favorite: KYUUUUUBEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYY D:<
✔ who resembles me: Moemura (http://i.imgur.com/H8YuJ.jpg), to a ridiculous extent. Glasses? Check. Moe? Check. Useless to friends? Check.

❤ three more characters that I like: Sayaka, Mami, and Kyouko. :B

I figured someone would request Digimon after this post. :P
❤ male: Hmm. My favorite characters were always girls back when, but I think my favorite male character has to be Jou. So responsible! So protective! So nerdy! Plus the fact that he grew his hair out didn't hurt. :D
❤ female: Gatomon, always. ♥
✖ least favorite: I have tried picking a least favorite before and it did not work out. ;_; I love everyone okay. Even some of the bad guys.
✔ who resembles me: I think I am a cross between Miyako (for the fangirling) and Jou (for the paranoia). Perhaps there's someone who better resembles me in the later seasons but I don't remember their personalities well enough. :c
❤ most attractive: Myotismon. Shut up he was my first crush okay >_____>;;;;
❤ three more characters that I like: Ken, Hikari and Mimi. But really, I love everyone. ♥

❤ female: Luna, of course. :D
✖ least favorite: Probably Bellatrix or someone else who is a jerk. I never really considered this one either.
✔ who resembles me: I think you know who this is... and no, not You-Know-Who. :P
❤ most attractive: Lucius, obvs. Bill's not bad either.
❤ three more characters that I like: Harry, Ron, and Hermione? And Neville. And Hedwig. Oh wait that is too many characters whoops

❤ male: Gamzeeeeeee. I still love him because stoned Gamzee was awesome and patron troll pride and I hope someday he can go back to not being crazy. ;_;
❤ female: Nepeta! How can anyone not love Nepeta, seriously. So cute. nep y u be dead ;_;
✖ least favorite: Vriska. I do not care how sympathetic Hussie makes her, I am never going to like her. D:< Scratch is also entering this territory.
✔ who resembles me: I'm basically Jade, both in appearance and in personality.
❤ most attractive: ... He is occasionally quite hot (http://liger-inuzuka.deviantart.com/art/Liger-s-Trollian-Lineup-252691748) okay ;_;
❤ three more characters that I like: PM, WV and John I guess? I like a lot of characters. :B

How about MLP for the meme?, since I have sort of become obsessed with that lately and am curious. :|;;
no subject
ONE OF UUUUSSSSSS :D
❤ male:
MLP has male characters?Spike! I love Spike. I want him to be my brother. :D❤ female: Rainbow Dash. Though considering her similarities to Buttercup (best Powerpuff Girl ever), that's not really surprising.
✖ least favorite: I dunno man. I like a lot of MLP's characters. ;_; Maybe Trixie or those jerks in Apple Bloom's class or something.
✔ who resembles me: Fluttershy. Well, minus the whole animal communion thing.
❤ most attractive:
ApplejackI mean I do not find ponies attractive that is disgusting. :|❤ three more characters that I like: Twilight, Pinkie and Rarity. Got to cover my bases. :B

❤ male: Kazehaya, I guess. I don't have particularly strong feelings towards him, but he is a sweetheart and a good kid. ^_^
❤ female: Sawako! So cute so cute so cute. I really like Chizu too.
✖ least favorite: Kurumi I guess. Though even she isn't so bad in the long run.
✔ who resembles me: It's gotta be Sawako for this one.
❤ most attractive: Tooru is hot, yo; I don't blame Chizu one bit. Sawako's also quite a looker when she does that thing with her hair.
❤ three more characters that I like: Ayane, Ryu and Takahashi. (I know Takahashi was a super minor character but I LIKED HER OKAY ;_;)
Christian allegory? In MY Homestuck? It's more likely than I thought…
I really share your misgivings. I haven't said anything because people seem to be having a pretty good time with it, and what's weird is usually that stuff fascinates me so I keep waiting for myself to like it but mehhhh. I guess I'm finding it too heavy-handed here.
And I didn't understand why I found the Disciple rather boring until you articulated it here. It's disappointing that instead of fierce characters with their own priorities like Mindfang and Redglare, for Nepeta's and Kanaya's ancestors we get direct inserts from Christian lore who aren't really important except in their relation to Troll Jesus. I'm hoping that maybe that's an oversimplistic view and they're going to get more nuanced development, but…who knows.
Or maybe I'm just butthurt that the Sufferer isn't this tragically doomed BAMF rebel army general like fandom seemed to think we'd get. I was kinda looking forward to that. Guess I wanted to see Paradise Lost Lucifer instead of Jesus…?
TL;DR Thank you for saying that because I didn't feel like I could air my grievances when everyone else was having so much fun! @.@
