quote from the homestuck books:

“So when we hear “play the rain,” if we take it at face value as a story arc element the supposition is: Rose struggles internally with an impulse to destroy, to cheat, to take shortcuts, and must overcome these immature impulses, take her rain quest seriously, enjoy the magical yields of doing so, and release her inner greatness. Okay, that’s the presumed arc, and importantly, Rose herself presumes it’s her arc too. But let’s flip the whole thing around: Rose falsely diagnoses her own arc, “rebels” against it with acts of teen vandalism, obsesses over the knowledge it yields, becomes “corrupted” by said knowledge, struggles with depression, and later, alcoholism, and feels like something is wrong. Like resisting the quest was a mistake, a rejection of her designated path for growth. The guilt of resisting the false quest is the struggle. Letting go of that guilt and all cerebral intensity surrounding it is the overcoming process Rose needs to go through. Her arc is literally her deliverance from what she falsely perceives as her own arc. Confused yet??? Well, she sure was.“ -Andrew Hussie

ive seen a lot of people criticize the whole thing where rose is like "sigh i have not a good character arc” and daves like “rose were people we dont have arcs” like the thing is she DOES have an arc, a pretty beautiful one at that, she just can’t see it that way because she struggles so hard with the fake arc that the game gave her that she never completed!!

her ‘play the rain’ arc was a GAME CONSTRUCT!!! and her TRUE character arc was realizing that she wasn’t going to listen to the game’s bullshit about which direction she’s supposed to grow as a person! she’s going her own god dammned way because this is just a fucking game!!!

idk i just see a lot of people get frustrated with hussie for making dave say that “we’re just people we dont have character arcs” line, because ‘oh my god but they ARE characters and they’re a bad writer for trying to pretend that theyre not in order to justify not giving them actual, satisfying character arcs’ but like. yeah. they are characters and they do have character arcs, just not the ones the game thrust upon them.

 in fact, rose DOES have a good and satisfying character arc, it’s just not the one she thought she thought she was supposed to have. it’s not the one the game told her she was going to have, which is why she gets all fucked up about it and has all those struggles mentioned above.

Observing Homestuck day today by finally posting the boarding school vampires AU I wrote for NaNoWriMo eight whole years ago.

New Lipstick: Rose/Kanaya, Rose&Mom, Beta Four friendship.

Alchemists worked with Moroi and dhampirs for the greater good, keeping their society secret in return for occasional magical assistance. You would have to be unbelievably naïve, however, to think that any Alchemist would be stupid enough to trust a vampire.

That was where Rose came in.
