The psychology of making a leading series in the 2010s
A post about moving out of the artistic era of my enemies to the artistic era of my ideals.
The Eternal Prelude continues with a long-standing internal character: โSuddenly all of reality bends around you as the dire creature threatens to break the Earth. But she is your friend.โ
Now that I have become increasingly connected to the random girls i interacted with on 4chanโs /co/ and elsewhere, as well as their social climates, it becomes easy to see how Andrew Hussie made Homestuck. When you get in the sort of position he got in in 2010 - progressing out of taking reader suggestions in the first place - you become socially and culturally aligned for making your work. It was easy for him to make exactly the sort of content people were interested in at the time. Bec Noir strongly resonated as as a teenager I was unleashing a new threat unique to the internet age: someone with dog psychology willing to tear swathes of destruction for the sake of social connection even if he is completely unaware of what the social connection actually is, like a dog.
Societal Governance
In the internet age democracy has been proven to be a remarkably shitty system, as it is trivially easy to weaponize technology to reshape how people vote and adopt political platforms. If necessary, they can simply use cancel culture, and then you get all the way to the abstract dimensions which Protestantism prevented people from taking seriously as the internet became widespread, as they are not merely like heaven, they are an extension of Heaven.
As a teenager I sought to expand American identity into fully embracing merit. This would come in part from people acknowledging meritorious individuals. But โthere is the problem that they could wrongfully claim that someone is meritorious to manipulate Society.โ Actually that's a good mechanism for transitioning from democracy to this new system I was developing in the culture. My Outlook in life incorporates wrongdoing to solve problems like how to change the abstract systems of society, a โvoteโ gradually morphing into acknowledging the best candidates automatically.
The current Ren and Stimpy fan I had the highest opinion of spun RyukoMako as lesbian in nature and so I immediately gave up on him as he was setting me up to look like I desire a sexual relationship with Batty or any other who occupies the Mako space with me. Regardless of his qualities, he exists as one of the Spumdonors to subvert me, hence the Old Testament character of my judgments, which are proceeding into a โdigital Old Testamentโ that expands human life away from actual humans, like with AIs. This tactic hibernated long enough for me to develop characters with her online that actually feel like children, Achilles and others. I guess in the Multiverse he will have the opportunity to acknowledge the actual philosophical background that Kill la Kill reflects which is an obvious part of my character.
As a teenager, this was already taking place. People voted for me on the basis of my merit. These included certain art professionals like Michelle of Ava's Demon, who grasped my actual critique of animation schools, which was an extension of my attitude towards Public School, animation school being designed as part of the public school pipeline instead of according to the actual demands for making successful animation. And so I taught people how to make successful animation โฆ without actually wanting to be a show creator myself.
And so this naturally developed being uplifted as a cultural leader, a very abstract role without any sort of physical office or even any sort of explanation of what is physically taking place even to myself. I had my artistic vision and my random internet connections, and those developed into things like Hazbin Hotel which makes me feel like it is now actually possible to create a cartoon show.

My mom also refers to 7 years of hardship.
And so when you go back to Homestuck you can see all kinds of evidence of thousands of decent parents and decent artists and other people getting together in the abstract dimensions of life giving Andrew guidance as to how to make Homestuck without abusing me, ipgd, or friendly others too much, while building towards actually good things.
Effectively forming a meta-author who can be embraced with the actual author has been proven to be a trash person. This activity was a condition for Homestuck becoming popular in the first place.
This also means the โimpsโ, like kids - and โroyaltyโ - meaning platformed individuals - of Wokes often reflect a damaged version of myself as has become increasingly apparent on a daily basis, hence my patient efforts since covid restrictions to encourage them to be more like my actual character and ideal self. I'm not stupid, it's just incomprehensible to me as to how they stick so hard to clearly inferior things except when it is a Heavenly punishment. Coming out of dozens of cultures like Homestuck fandom: They're imitating things like me not actually being able to afford to watch new movies to form a proper opinion, though I can see that there can be reasons to do so when they are poor like I was
The very concept of Gravity Falls reflects being inevitably drawn back to Alex Hirsch and others intentionally ruining Anomalous Phenomena, connecting to Caliborn's black hole. Alex got to work for Disney and make a big cartoon, but this involved the consent of Walt Disney in heaven as well as many decent parents, Alex having to embrace his own true character as an artist for the entire thing, and farming out the experience and concepts to social media for things like the mystery. And again this brings in a meta-author and meta-production to lay claim to the good things people experienced in that era of Tumblr fandom, which people today fail to actually explain or show, constantly asking each other in recent years why they actually liked it, as if sleepwalking in their real lives not noticing how strange this all is.
Conclusion
In the 2010s, in the right situation with the right set of functional skills like networking or running a show/web team, it was easy to become a massive artistic icon without the actual artistic skills. The lower heavens would make it happen for you, for goals like ordering the courses of childhoods. They would polish your image and give you character traits you lack, to affect. If this seems rather matter of fact and unconcerned, well I'm in the mix helping to produce the entire system, and with my eschatological focus and flourishing in theodicy, it's a gesture of respect to my artistry to simply accept the evil mix in which I recovered.
But then once artists like Batty come along, they lose the ability to compete, they are so much more accomplished and personally vibrant, the old stuff starts to seem like a Rorschach test you projected into. Batty's vision is undeniable, and moves her artistic surroundings on its own, no need for elaborate structuring, and creates a sense of immediately entering her unique world, leaving the outside behind.
Then I look around and pick up desirable pieces of that scaffolding waiting for a real visionary, not an authority figure overlooking a sea of cultural activity and giving it what it asks for. My near death experience clarified that this was about Caliborn, and my plan proceeded out of that info drop, the encroaching spread of his black hole daily developing. Who knows when it will be deadly enough to make my enemies want to see a steady income for me
