HS is supposedly a story that is also a game. In games, the characters die all the time. How many times did you let Mario fall in the pit before he saved the princess? Who weeps for these Marios. In games your characters die, but you keep trying and trying and rebooting and resetting until finally they make it. When you play a game this process is all very impersonal. Once you finally win, when all is said and done those deaths didn’t “count”, only the linear path of the final victorious version of the character is considered “real”. Mario never actually died, did he? Except the omniscient player knows better. HS seems to combine all the meaningless deaths of a trial-and-error game journey with the way death is treated dramatically in other media, where unlike our oblivious Mario, the characters are aware and afraid of the many deaths they must experience before finally winning the game.

Hey guys!
Have you seen A6A6I5 yet? I will post the art I did for it later, but in the meantime have this!
I was told to make the pictures for the update look rough and unfinished on purpose (still not sure why, if those are supposed to be photos and not drawings though), and I assume other artists were told the same, so please don’t say something like they “didn’t try hard enough”.
But before I started working on that I’ve made these quick warmups to embrace the sketchiness :з

If Andrew Hussie wrote the Harry Potter series Harry would’ve used the fucking liquid luck and time turner to kill Voldemort.
Except it’s not actually Voldemort, it’s a construct meant to resemble voldemort which Tom Riddle won after creating a timeloop in which he provided the magic for his own mother’s love potion and created a super powerful snake which he later turned into his beloved pet. And also Wizards have 9 kinds of romance and half of the cast are now centaurs.
