The whining about how there's nowhere to post Homestuck meta because nowhere has Homestuck meta being posted irritates me. I'm tempted to write up some long rant about moirails (STOP CALLING IT BROMANCE, FUCKERS) just so I can post it somewhere.

I'd love to hear about it!

I'm not really in the Homestuck fandom, but there's really no place for meta? Don't they have a bunch of discussion threads on the forums and stuff?

(Then again, there doesn't really seem to be a lot of place for Pokémon meta, either, besides $your_personal_site, so perhaps it's not all that uncommon a fandom problem.)

But people really call moiraillegience "bromance?" Whaaaat?

There's the forum, and there's a couple LJ communities and a lot of discussion on the anon memes. I posted something on one once and got a lot of responses, but no one else posted anything further. So now there's chatter about how someone would post meta but none of the communities are for it, because no one posts meta on them.

And yes. Many of them. They talk about epic bromance. They have the characters using phrases like "brorail". They tag their fics with it. On and on and on while I try to decide what I hate more, the basic concept of the word or the fact even its stupid definition that I hate isn't even what moirallegience is.

They also distinguish it from red/blackrom by describing it as "platonic". Which is why there's absolutely nothing wrong about how all of Kanaya's popular pale pairings are with guys at this point, because are you saying lesbians can't have guy friends???????????
