I just realized that in Strong Sad's fanfiction there's no background and the Lappy is floating in mid-air because Strong Sad didn't bother to write any description of the setting. Very subtle creative writing gag!
You have to also consider that no matter how mean and abusive strong bad is too strong sad, strong sad is always immediately available to assist with either email content or technical troubleshooting at the drop of a hat. He is the best most supportive brother despite his clinical depression and strong bad has zero appreciation for it. In the meantime Strong sad has rallied everyone else close to support strong bad in his entrepreneurial endeavor.
"Since that's totally the way I talk" had me howling. I cannot count how many times I've encountered writing of a character that doesn't pay any attention to how they canonically talk.

@@AwesomeYena Well, sure, but it was more of a comment about the nature of fanfics themselves. Like, in this sbemail, there are clearly nods to the phenomenon of slash fiction in particular, a subgenre of literature that is, let's face it, generally never G-rated, nor is it ever referred to in context in G-rated media. :V
@AwesomeYena slash fiction generally refers to homosexual pairings in fanfic. I think the originator came from people online using [Character A] x [Character B] to refer to heterosexual couplings and [A]/[B] to refer to homosexual ones, which is why it has the nickname of "slash". Of course, nobody really uses "slash" in the modern day. But the next time you're reading some old fanfic and somebody goes "warning: slash fic!", it's a sign as to what you're getting into.
That's the point it reminds me of people takong homestar so seriously that they said "well hometarrunner jumped the shark!" The brothers chap responded "dude! We are just two people making flash cartoons, how the heck does that even apply??!"
STRONG BAD: Twelve-Times-A-Day Man? You can't just start makin' up terrible new characters! STRONG SAD: He said, putting on a bonnet, and giving Homestar a deep-tissue massage. STRONG BAD: Aah! No!! HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, this gon' be good! STRONG BAD: That's it. Two can play at this extremely nerdy game! This is where I lost it.
As someone who has actually written fan fiction...I can confirm that what Strong Bad says is true. Fan fiction is 90% trash 5% Gold and 5% pfargtl. Don't ask what "pfargtl" means...you don't want to know.
As a very heavily fandom-involved person who has even written some Homestar fic before, I LOVE Strong Bad's take on fandom. It's very accurate- I will admit to having one or two Twelve Times a Day Men and engsmsplosions in my own very old works.

Strong Sad is ABSOLUTELY a Tumblr regular. His posts are a mix between those "incorrect quotes" that people sometimes do for fandoms nobody has heard of and apologies for not posting more. And maybe 1 or 2 callout post reblogs.

Much like real fan fiction, the original setting is treated as a blank canvas. :)
The fact that Strong Bad’s “fan club” is just his brothers hanging out (Cheat is basically an honorary Strong at this point) is weirdly heartwarming.
And cinder block.
Don’t forget Homsar!
