In the wisest words of @bonefall: “Getting tweaked on purpose is practically the mark of a species' intelligence.” (Found HERE)

So I started looking into ways to get my fictional war kitty cats tweaked! :D

EDIT: If y’all enjoy this research, take a look at my rewrite!! I tend to dip down deep into a lot of various aspects, and end up including a lot of it into the story itself!! ^^

DISCLAIMER: Do not give any of these things to your real life pets to ingest in light of what is described below, especially not without doing research or asking the opinion of an animal healthcare professional. This guide is merely an attempt to share some fun knowledge and additional world building for a FICTIONAL society of cats. You should never try to give your real life animals things described in books or writhing unless they’ve come from people who actively know what they’re doing and have something to prove it.

LIQUIDS

SYRUPS

With the easy access that these cats have to multiple trees, the syrups that they have the ability to make aren’t just limited to maple! Various nut producing trees (walnut, heartnut, butternut, etc) boxelder, alder, birch, and pine (amongst others) are all notable for their sap, which can, of course, be turned into syrup.

Though these sorts of syrups are primarily for flavor. The syrup that these guys would mostly be looking to for some fun times would come from other sources…

Namely valerian root syrup! If catnip can be compared to marijuana, then valerian root specifically might be a bit more like phencyclidine in terms of behavior, or isobutyl nitrite (rush) via chemical effects. It is commonly used in small doses by veterinarians to treat stress and anxiety in animals.

This is probably the only thing on the liquid list that might actually be safe for cats to ingest. But I want to stress again: Do Not give your pets anything from this list; I am NOT an expert in this field.

MEADS

Mead is probably the easiest for these cats to make, should they have any sort of access to honey.

Rather than adding yeast, which can be harmful to cats alongside being quite difficult for them to get their paws on, mead is to be fermented! Natural, less harmful yeast comes from the air (room-temperature water and honey is the ideal for fermentation) or it can be added via fruits or spices.

This is not safe for irl cats, however in small amounts, or fictional feline friends can enjoy some ol’ fermented honey-and-water fun.

CIDERS

Since the cats have used the prefix “Apple-”several times, we can clearly see that they know of apples. Which in turn, I’m sure, means they have access to them.

A natural, non-harmful yeast lives on the surface of apples straight from the stem, and as soon as it’s pressed into juice, it will ferment and become alcoholic on its own when left in a contained space and at a steady temperature.

Depending on the time it’s left to it’s own devices, that will affect the taste.

Keep in mind that all of these liquids are pretty high in both natural sugars, as well as containing sugars purposefully added; excessive sugar isn’t healthy for cats, so should they be able to make these, the danger of overindulgence should be stressed.

HERBS

CATNIP

Also known as Nepeta cataria, catswort/catwort, and catmint, catnip is an herb that is most well-known for its affects on felines.

It is most commonly used as a recreational substance and has been observed to have many different effects on various cats. One-third of cats have been noted to not be affected by catnip, and it seems that the behavior is linked to genes and age, and is usually hereditary.

The herb can improve relaxation, which may reduce anxiety, restlessness, and nervousness, making it a prime option in terms of medicinal uses. For recreational uses, however, it may cause cats to act in a number of different fashions, however the most common are as follows: excessive rubbing, rolling around, pawing, licking, and chewing when exposed solely to the scent, while consumption is followed by sleepiness, anxiety, bursts of energy, drooling, purring, biting, growling or meowing loudly.

MATATABI (Silver Vine)

While catnip is the most well-known, matatabi is reportedly more potent and effective. Silver vine contains more and different compounds that cats like and respond to, and, unlike catnip, silver vine’s effects are nearly immediate and last for a much shorter amount of time.

Also unlike in catnip, matatabi is most effective outright consumed, especially in the forms of sticks! Chewing on matatabi sticks, twigs, and shoots is not only a good way for cats to still feel the effects (which are the same as catnip’s, though with a more prominent lean into relaxation and stress-relief), but also an excellent way to keep up with dental hygiene!

Alongside being a a recreational substance, matatabi also has medicinal uses! It contains a significant amount of vitamin C, and is known to lower high blood pressure and provide relief from arthritis pains. In especially large quantities, its leaves may also have a mildly hallucinogenic effect.

TATARIAN HONEYSUCKLE

Honeysuckle berries, flowers, and leaves are toxic to cats and should not be given to them under any circumstances. It is exclusively the wood part of the plant that is safe, and is most often used via scent sprays and toys.

Unlike catnip and matatabi, tatarian honeysuckle specifically has been reported to not possess the same age effective limits that it’s counterparts have. As such, it is a prime choice to stuff into toys (for our cats in question: at the center of moss balls, inside of fabric toys, stuffed into woven mats, etc), especially for younger cats.

Tartarian honeysuckle also has an extended growing season: producing leaves, flowers and berries very early on during spring, and shutting down only late into the autumnal months. It grows quickly and tall, however it is invasive and can very quickly choke out other plants should it be left to its own devices.

FOODS

MUSHROOMS

Raw mushrooms are difficult for cats to digest, so any mushrooms eaten by this guys should only be done so if they have been thoroughly cooked and softened up.

Psilocybin mushroom specifically can be used for this purpose. Some psychedelic mushrooms can also be used for medicinal purposes via treating some forms of treatment-resistant depression, obsessive compulsive disorder and other mental health disorders.

Most hallucinogenic mushrooms used for recreational purposes are toxic to pets, however. Look HERE for various listings of mushroom poisoning and toxicity, alongside any potential symptoms found in some pets for some of these mushroom poisonings.

SEEDS

Various seeds can be used and are safe in moderation for cats.

Raw, unwashed poppy seeds specifically are some of the most popular - and some we see used even in Warriors canon as medicine! The seeds are most commonly boiled and made into teas that supposedly relieve pain, while other teas are simply used in an attempt to wring out the “high” and relaxation from said poppy seeds.

BERRIES

Mulberries specifically are the only berries I’ve found that are safe for cats to ingest while also providing some sort of recreational reaction.

Ripe fruit is a nice snack for cats on occasion! The hallucinogenics come from unripened berries, mature leaves, and the white sap that they produce.

Unripe fruit may (and probably will) cause stomach discomfort, neurological system hyperactivity, and hallucinations when consumed.

okay okay sollux: mage of doom, mituna: heir of doom, meulin: mage of heart. we can work this out. we know mituna's Big Thing was unleashing some crazy psychic power to save the rest of the team from unspeakable evil (probably just kurloz but whatever). the psychic power was captor psiionics, pretty obviously; nbd. however, from a thematic classpect arc perspective..... john's our main heir (of breath); breath is the aspect of freedom/individuality/literal windy shit; john spends his whole quest doing literally whatever he wants and manipulating wind/the literal timeline to his advantage. mostly on an individual level unless otherwise motivated, but I think thats partly a breath thing (independent spirit). if we take doom to mean things like..... fate/death/the timelines (I dont think theyre called DOOMED timelines for no reason) the heir of doom works here for mituna; he actively manipulates fate/the timeline by saving the beforan crew from smth that could doom them all.

mages..... meulin. heart is all about souls/identity/personality/PROBABLY also love, as we know through dirk and also nepeta; both leijons are shippers so the love theme is clear there, and dirk's big defining motivation is that he's in love w jake (even in the epilogues/hs^2 haha. hes obsessed w that guy). the way meulin seems to interact w all that....... we know shes a strong matchmaker but has difficulty with her own love life, but she seems to get along well with almost everyone anyway. making mage..... what. a guiding/manipulating hand for (aspect) without being particularly affected by it?? probably thematically obsessed w their relationship w the aspect until they learn to let it go and be at peace with it YEAH this is working for sollux too

sollux is PLAGUED by his associations w doom for a really long time; he hears the voices of the imminently doomed and is pretty much constantly upset by it until he goes blind and it all stops. he's the one who pieces together the code for sgrub, but then doesnt want to play it; manipulating things to ensure the correct timeline, but not to his own benefit. this I think definitely makes mage a passive class (someday ill go down my list of passive vs active classes ive got some hot takes hehehe). despite feeling as though he's plagued with doom/death, he actually ends up with an ABUNDANCE of life/second chances; he's got two dreamselves and later his half ghost bs, which would tie in with mages having a lack of (aspect) in their own personal lives, sort of an inverse to princes (and maybe bards??) having an excess of (aspect) that they need to destroy.

dream bubbles were created by the horrorterrors on feferi's request, as a way to let ghosts and dreamers exist in the furthest ring without being overwhelmed by the horrible terrible things out there...... sollux gets knocked out by eridan and starts dreaming, and in that bubble he realizes he's gone blind and has had all his teeth knocked out, and then he wakes up, zapping out of that bubble. this is his derse dreamself/'real' sollux in that it woke up when feferi kiss revived him and went thru the adventure and whatnot. his PROSPIT dreamself was killed by bec noir, presumably began inhabiting a different dream bubble..... and then, somehow, this ghost of a dreamself (which we know exist bc of jadesprite) was able to leave the bubble. I think atp, since they were both in the same realm of existence ig (prospit leaves his bubble right around the creation of the green sun, and this is also when derse starts to push the meteor towards the sun) the alive self (derse) and dead self (prospit) just..... evened out, and both became half dead and half blind. I’m pretty sure. we see the derse version's eyes flicker between black (blind) and white (dead) while he does the big push, and the prospit version has black and white eyes as soon as he meets up w aradia. then the derse version dies, which doesnt affect the prospit version, for whatever reason. the remaining sollux is half dead, half blind, as a backup. though he really should be 3/4 dead I think, but whatever!! its fine. then when erisolsprite happens, the connection between the two is severed and all the dead/ghost bits of sollux are pulled out of the part of him flying around the dream bubbles, and he becomes fully alive and fully blind! full swap from derse to prospit, mortality wise. and he stays that way post retcon bc the existence of (vriska) proves that the dream bubbles werent affected by it, they just continued while the meteor made its three year journey again

PHEW OKAY BUT ANYWAY. how this relates to his classpect.... the 'shared load' thing between his two dreamselves feels like a captor thing exclusively, ngl. BUT the way he keeps persisting and finds peace when he separates himself from doom/fate/death/timelines (he stops contributing to the main group!! he stays in a place where canon doesnt affect him!!) feels like a mage thing!!! he has the power to change things relating to his aspect or using his aspect, but it mainly helps others while hurting himself (PASSIVE CLASS) and ultimately he's better off not engaging, at least for his own personal benefit (eg rose and terezi both struggle as seers (also passive, textually) with the weight of their knowledge, callie as a muse has a happy version of herself that never uses her powers much at all, vs an incredibly jaded version who fully realized her powers and now exists to serve, roxy as a rogue (and nepeta too!!) has expressed exhaustion from being the person to help others constantly). so.... thats my mage and doom interpretations hahahaha

wonder if its possible to reverse engineer mage and/or doom powers from whatever tf sollux's half ghost has going on or if its just captor bs 🤔

Homestuck^2 - Reactions Chapter 2 “Clown Logistics” (Pages 57 - 95)

Time for the "Clown Logistics"!

...There's nothing I can think of but a hypothetical department within Jane's ship. So, a chapter from Jane's perspective is my only theory right now!

I mean, seeing as Gamzee’s (presumably) dead I assume this won’t be a direct focus on him.

If we do focus on Jane now, it's interesting how the B2 Kids are getting the majority of the focus so far in Homestuck^2.

And Roxy, who had, especially in the later parts of Homestuck, the majority of screentime has so far not appeared yet.

Very, very interesting indeed.

Anyway, let's read on.

Page 57:

NOPE, SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY. But still related to fucking Gamzee of course.

WE'VE GOT OFFICIAL ART FOR VRISKA MARYAM-LALONDE NOW :O

Oh man.

I'd been forming some mental images on what Vriska Maryam-Lalonde and Tavros Crocker would look like. But to be honest, my creativity wasn't that good so I'd been mostly imagining a near exact copy of Vriska, and a humanized version of Tavros. :P

Meanwhile, for Harry Anderson I'm imagining something like John/Jake with a hair style more like Roxy.

But no, just look at her!!!

She's like a gothic Vriska! Oh man, makes complete sense, considering how Rose and Kanaya like to dress themselves. I can't believe I hadn't thought of that actually.

And it's minutes in the past, which explains why she's not with Tavros currently.

Maybe that means we'll see him too in a little bit? :O

Anyway, Vriska Serket's looking surprisingly okay, considering how earlier she was seemingly bleeding to death, based on the narration. :P

Pffff, Vriska's being classic Vriska already. Stealing stuff and giving herself advantages at the cost of others.

Though to be honest, John's probably not missing that phone right now.

Page 58:

Yikes, yeah, Gamzee sure got a rough beating there.

I like that they decided to depict the scars from Nepeta's claws here!

Oh boy, does this mean Vriska Serket's going to stop being (Vriska)? Indication she's gonna become relevant again? :P

Then what is she going to call Vriska Maryam-Lalonde? Is this going to be based on a suggestion from the readers?

Is it going to be anything like her real name? Or is it going to be a different spider-related name?

...I'll laugh if she decides to name her Aranea. xD

Page 59:

Vrissy! :O

I like the sound of it! It sounds enough like Vriska, and is also 6 letters. And it rolls well enough of the tongue.

Anyway, oh god, Vrissy's gonna call upon Tavros Crocker isn't she? :/

To involve him in this criminal matter... yeah, sounds like something a kismesis might do. :P

I wonder if Tavros is gonna get a nickname. Perhaps not, seeing as there isn't a second Tavros around right now (unless Gcatavrosprite finally shows up again).

Also, since when does Vriska have an eyepatch? I mean, I knew Karkat has an eyepatch now, but I had no idea Vriska also had one.

I like how she drew an 8 on it to make it resemble an 8-ball though.

Page 60:

Ahahaha, Vrissy's immediately sold on the new nickname.

Is she gonna insist that everyone uses that name from now on? Including her parents?

I wonder what kind of car Tavros will be coming with. Will it look like Dad's car?

Oh boy, what is Vriska's reaction going to be to the existence of a Tavros here. xD

Let's hope she doesn't tear into Tavros like he's... ahum, Tavros.

Page 61:

Hehe, perfection! Slightly calmer than I'd have expected her to be, but still.

And uh, is Tavros really gonna get a kick out of this? I mean, he didn't like Gamzee very much of course, but I'd think he'd be a bit too much of a nice person to really uh, enjoy this?

God I'm so curious to see what he'll look like...

Page 62:

There he is already!

A hovercar! Can't say I was expecting that, hehe.

Page 63:

There he is!!!!! :D

Oh man, he looks like a perfect mix between Jane and Jake. Jane's glasses, Jake's hair and bowtie. And the buck teeth of course! :B

It's so cool to finally see what Vrissy and Tavros look like. After all this time that we only had dialog and no images, hehe.

Page 64:

Ahahahaha, mood whiplash! Yup, that's truly an Egbert/English/Nitram reborn. xD

That's exactly how I imagined him reacting to this.

Page 65:

Ha, alright. He really doesn't mind Gamzee's dead.

Page 66:

N'awww. It's pretty heartwarming that the badass Serkets allow Tavros to have this little emotional moment instead of ripping into him.

Page 69:

Hehe, return of the Scribble Mode-like art style!

Oh boy, Tavros is removing his sweater. I wonder what he looks like underneath that! Is there gonna be any symbol popping up here? :P

Page 70:

Ooooh, suspenders! Instantly makes me think of Caliborn and Doc Scratch... errr, not really the best people to be thinking of here I guess. xD

I wonder if this is truly the last we'll see of Gamzee.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he's somehow only "almost" dead and will suddenly start honking again from within the trunk.

Page 71:

HOLY SHIT HARRY ANDERSON EGBERT OUT OF NOWHERE

Wow... man, for a second I didn't realize it was him! To be honest, I first thought it was a girl.

But then I noticed the hair style, the eyes... that's so Roxy-like. Combined with the buck teeth and the blue scarf, that sold it. Just like how Roxy likes to wear scarfs.

Oh man, I love the designs of these characters.

Page 72:

OH DEAR GOD, HE'S A TOTAL COOLKID.

OH MAN

He talks so much like Roxy, I love it.

Pfffahahaha, he doesn't believe a WORD Vrissy is saying. His face is going to be PRICELESS when he sees that she's telling the truth.

Page 75:

Ahahaha, yes, Harry Anderson doesn't believe it at all.

...So that's what Alternian schools were like then. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. xD

I'm starting to think that perhaps they're just gonna bring Gamzee's body to the rebel camp, and that this way the news somehow reaches Jane that Tavros is with the rebels. Just not in the way she's thinking. :P

Oh boy, I hope that if they do go there they meet Karkat and Meenah. I want to see Vriska's face when she meets this badass leader Karkat.

And god I'm dying to find out what he looks like now.

Page 76:

Hehehe, I didn't immediately notice the spades in Vrissy's eyes.

Also, that sounds totally like a Jakey thing to say: "Righto".

It IS starting to look like abundantChewtoys pointed out to me that their relationship is relatively calm, despite being kismesises. Maybe it's somewhat like between John and Terezi!

Page 79:

A honk? Tavros heard a honk?

Oh man... is it really gonna turn out there's still a little bit of life left in him?

But yeah... there's no way this is gonna end well. SOMEONE's going to spot them carrying a body, right?

On the other hand, Vriska's always got irons in the fire, maybe now she's gonna get a clown in the fire. :B

Page 80:

Ahahaha, that's gonna make some noise and draw attention, isn't it?

Page 81:

Pffff, these guys. I love this little group of dorks.

Page 83:

Oh god, they better watch out for that smoke detector or whatever it is, or that's gonna set off a REAL alarm now.

Pages 84 - 85:

YUP, called it that they were going to bump into that.

I didn't think it was a sprinkler though, but close enough. :P

So what are they going to do now? Drop the body and run for cover?

If people find Gamzee, that's definitely going to hit the headlines though.

Page 86:

Ahahahaha, return of the Bluh! God it's been so long.

Yeah... they're busted. What are they gonna do now? Are Vriska and Vrissy going to pretend that Tavros is their hostage or something?

...I just realized we're nearing page 88, hahahaha.

Oh man, I just love Vriska in this chapter. These are just so much more sillier events than we're normally used to seeing her in. xD

Page 87:

Oh man, I didn't think we'd see actual dialog for these people!

It's interesting how they all have FIVE letters in their name. Not 4 like the human kids, nor 6 like the Troll kids, but 5.

I love how they talk like teenagers on social media.

Page 89:

Oooooh, I like how their eyes light up in the dark!

Pfff, yup, Vriska's really enjoying herself out here. Looks like she won't mind THAT much that she can't go back to the action in the Furthest Ring. :P

Also, uh, I don't think they'll just be able to get away when school's out. I bet they're probably going to call the police or something?

Page 90:

Ahahaha, so THAT'S why Jane thought the rebels had captured Tavros. She just refuses to accept the alternative.

That's really just her problem. It's always been.

She can just be SO convinced that she's right about something, she just won't believe she's wrong. Until she sees it with her own eyes.

Maybe that's going to be the best solution to all these problems she has been causing? That all the negative things get SMACKED into her face so she finally realizes what she's been doing wrong?

Page 91:

HOLY SHIT. NOW THIS TRULY IS THE HOMESTUCK AGAIN OF ALL THOSE YEARS AGO.

Linking back to scenes/conversations that happened earlier, hahahaha!

Page 92:

Just look at this smooth bastard. xD

Looks like the face of someone who still believes he's being pranked. Does he think Vrissy set off the fire alarm on purpose, just to get him out of class?

Page 93:

Oh boy, he's looking at his phone. Is he gonna see the same image as Jane on social media now?

Pages 94 - 95:

PERFECTION. THAT FACE. I LOVE IT. THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO SAY ON THE MATTER. XD

His last face reminds me a bit of Pickle Inspector.

Perfect end to a hilarious chapter!

God I love Homestuck^2.

...huh...

It’s weird Nepeta got 2 2 endings but the guy with a 2 theme only got 3? That’s weird.

That was like REALLY short, I should have just muscled through last night xD

Other than that, his route wasn’t all that complicated. It’s weird all the best moments are when the focus character gets upstaged by someone else, like Gamzee or Kanaya.

“Vriska’s cursed my bulge” oh my fucking gog xDDD

Though, at the same time, it was kind of nice to have someone who doesn’t really need our help? I mean, he has war machine fears, but protag can’t really do anything with that.

Other than that, he seems to be moving in the right direction; re-connecting with old friends he’s fallen out with, has a budding romance with Feferi going! It’s actually kind of interesting! Everyone thought he needed help, but really, they are just confusing him being a social recluse as a cry for help and that’s a real thing that happens A LOT in real life! We kind of have a stereotype in our culture that people like that are unhappy, but, a lot of times, they just have a very different definition of Happiness than most people do. And that’s okay! ^^

I’m taking a week off from blogging from the 25th-31st, so no Vast Error next week. Looks like Pesterquest is off a week again, so I’ll return with Vast Error the first Friday of 2020!

Unsong tomorrow!

Thank you for joining me! I love you! <3

(Volume 10 route 1 coming soon!)

Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive

Trace Last Saturday at 10:46 PM

> It takes you a bit to calm down from the book & more you received earlier, and even more to gather the confidence to seek out Clover. You manage to track down Clover's trail and follow it to his room. When you want to knock though, the courage leaves you and you hesitate.You don't really want to deal with any of this mess...

Clover Last Saturday at 10:58 PM

> You happen to be getting up at the precise moment he starts to debate knocking. You open the door and very nearly walk straight into him, then back up and blink in surprise.

Trace Last Saturday at 11:17 PM

> You were about to turn away and leave, but of course he had to come out in exactly that moment. The surprise immediately tosses out anything you prepared for this and just stare at him, at a total loss for words. "Uh. Hey."

Clover Last Saturday at 11:24 PM

"...'Ey Three. You need somethin'?"

Trace Last Saturday at 11:26 PM

"Uh... Just your attention." You shift a little awkwardly. "I wanted to say... thank you. For getting me my things back."

Clover Last Saturday at 11:29 PM

> You stare at him, plainly befuddled for a moment, open your mouth, close your mouth. > You very abruptly hug him, press your face into his front, and whine.

Trace Last Saturday at 11:33 PM

> Oh. You didn't expect that. > On second thought, this Clover. You should have been prepared for it. You try to shake off some of the tension in you and let him do that, one hand on his shoulder.

Clover Last Saturday at 11:38 PM

> You drag him inside your room and slam the door. "Fuck Trace I'm so fucking scared but I couldn't- I couldn't let him take everything, I know you're probably confused and I know I'm hard to follow but it-" > A hard sigh, quick gesturing. "It was the first thing I did after I left the library. I had a guess. I figured I'd take what I could and he wouldn't notice that not everything was there."

Trace Last Sunday at 12:14 AM

> Oh. Shit. You're trapped. Joke aside, this is quickly getting more intense than you had hoped for, but that is less surprising. But man, Clover going against the Doc's plans... "After the library.?" You quirk an eyebrow. That wasn't just to help you, you don't think. Sigh. "Thank you... Uh..."

Clover Last Sunday at 12:26 AM

"Look," > You reach up and cup his face, make him lean down for you. Sorry Trace, it's intense o'clock. "I've been sitting in my own fucked up feelings for the better part of a month, everything that I'm assigned to and that I'm good at has been rearranged, Fin fucking hates me and I can't really blame him for it, I'm doing my damn best to help Nepeta's broken heart heal, five people have told me to take care of myself and I don't understand why, I'm actively daily going against the man who I'm dependant on trusting me, you betrayed me in a way I never imagined you would and I don't know if it's ever going to be fixed, and I would still die to protect you in an instant, and I don't know if you'd do that for me or if I even deserve anyone but god damn it Albert you're an idiot and so am I and I know what side I'm on as long as you'll fuckin' have me, okay?"

Trace Last Monday at 4:27 PM

Hnn, okay fine. This is what you're doing now. You look at him and listen to what he has to say, your heart growing heavier with every word. "Do you even still want me? You called me a traitor." In fact, he just did it again. "What side are you on?" You frown, an expression filled more with pain than anger. You're too tired and exhausted to fight, but you can't hide the bitterness in your words. "I would have died for anyone in this house. I would have killed for anyone, and I would have lied to Scratch. Not sure if I should anymore, since apparently I can't be trusted like that." Don't become a stranger, Doze said. Well meant advice, maybe a little too late though.

Clover Last Monday at 4:49 PM

"Yes," you answer plainly, your fingertips curling up against his skin. "and I did, because it fucking hurts. I can't tell you that it doesn't hurt like hell. I can't tell you that it isn't still making something in me scream to run." You pocket your hands. "I'm not just made up of whims and tricks and chance, though. This is me. Probably more me than I'd like to admit, frankly." An inhale and a sigh. "I don't know if you get it, but I don't- know what it's like to still trust somebody after something like this. I don't know if I'm supposed to. But for some reason I still want to try. It hurts and I still believe in it anyway. That's the side I'm on." Sincerity is definitely one of the top three most uncomfortable things you've ever done, you decide. You should be monitoring what you say and what you don't. You should be measuring, you should be careful. "Maybe it doesn't make sense, maybe it won't. That wouldn't be anything new, huh." A small, pained laugh. "I've never been more certain of anythin' else in my life, though."

Trace Last Monday at 7:46 PM

You stare at him, your expression getting even more pained after he pulls back. "You know... I needed you on my side then. If not for myself because god knows I don't deserve it then for Fin and Nepeta. I wanted to deal with that without pulling anyone else deeper into it than necessary." You're already close enough to the ground after he pulled you down, and even after his hands are gone, you let yourself sink deeper until you sit on the ground with a shaky "Fuck.." You're really tempted to just flee from this conversation, as unpleasant as it is. But you're aware that Clover didn't so far and the least you owe him is to see this through as well. "I'd give my life for any in here in a heartbeat. But it's not my life to give. Neither is yours. They're Scratch's, to use and misuse as he pleases. That's how things here work, right?" You run a hand over your face, trying to keep the tears at bay.

"I dunno if you should trust me. I don't care about the Felt, I don't care about Scratch, I don't care if this whole mansion is on fire in a year or so, because at least then it would be over. I care about Fin and I care about Nepeta. And Fin, we both know, is so deeply entrenched in his issues, he may never be able to get out of there, no matter how much any of us tries. Nepeta though.. I- I've never wanted her to join the Felt... Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to have her around, and I know why she did it. But this... this is no life I'd wish on anyone. Is it better than dying out on the street? I honestly couldn't tell you. But I can't stand to watch how she gets hurt and broken and bent again and again until the day she tired of this life as much as any of us." Your watery eyes meet his for a moment, then you look away to the side again. A headache is already pounding in your temple, making it really hard to filter any of your words. Not sure if any of what you're saying is making this situation any better or worse, but that hardly matters anymore. "And yeah, I care about you. Not sure if you're luckiest asshole of all of us since it seems to be so easy for you to adapt, or least fortunate, because you're having such a hard time realizing how much all of this bothers you too."

Clover Last Monday at 8:11 PM

You look down at him for a while, evaluating, re-evaluating, choking on your words before they manage to come out. Eventually you settle on something simple, pressing your fingertips together as you sit down across from him. "I'm sorry it took me this long to see." An exhale. "I thought if I just tried hard enough I could force this life to be something else. If I just paid enough attention. If I just played enough games of chess. If I just played along long enough to change the game."

Trace Last Monday at 9:02 PM

You watch him quietly, trying to keep your breath steady as you try to find the right words to continue. You can't really grasp how much of a breakthrough for Clover this may be at the moment, but. That's.. probably a lot for Clover, huh? "I'm sorry, I.. Fuck. All I wanted to was say thank you and now this." you say with shaky voice. "I don't want to just.. blindly follow Scratch, but I wanna do what's best for everyone. I want to do better, whatever that is gonna look like. And I know I can't do it alone.." A sigh. "None of us is gonna last if we're at each other's throats, right? Because who's gonna look out for us if not us?"

Clover Last Monday at 9:17 PM

There's a pause, then a snort, then a laugh. You push your hands into your face and shake your head. "God, I'm sorry, I'm overwhelming as hell. You poor sweetheart, I just started blathering on-"

Trace Last Monday at 9:31 PM

You just shake your head in response. "I needed out, didn't it? Iii mean I did the same.." You sigh. He must feel so lost, s looks like it, and you kinda want to offer a hug. Would that be too soon? "You know, actually, this has been one of the most relieving talks I had in a while." Even if it's just two guys rambling at each other. Sometimes that's what it takes, it seems.

Clover Last Monday at 9:36 PM

"....For real?" You blink a bit, even daring to look the slightest bit hopeful. (What's wrong with you when faith in anything hurts?)

Trace Last Monday at 9:40 PM

"Yeah." You give him half a smirk. "I.. don't really know how to go from here. I'm sorry for the mess I made. Sorry for the position I put you in.."

Clover Last Monday at 9:46 PM

You tap your fingertips together, press your tongue into your cheek. "You gonna tell me an' Nep the next time you try to kill, like, Kanaya or something."

Trace Last Monday at 9:49 PM

You let out a dry laugh. "I don't see that happening anytime soon, but, sure, deal."

Clover Last Monday at 9:53 PM

You pause for a second, hum softly, and shift your balance to lean in close for a second. You press a tiny kiss to his throat- you're not entirely sure he gets the symbolism, but you draw back with a tiny 'hmf' little noise.

Trace Last Monday at 10:30 PM

You hold your breath when he gets closer. You get the meaning - at least the trust he means with it. You exhale carefully when he sits back and look at him, not sure if you want to break the silence just yet. "Hey, uh... I know I'm not really in a position to make demands, but.. I wondered if I could make ask you something.."

Clover Last Monday at 10:30 PM

"Go on?"

Trace Last Monday at 10:34 PM

"Uhm..." You look down a little sheepishly. "The photo of my little brother. I wondered if you got it. If.. I could have it."

Clover Last Monday at 10:36 PM

A blink, a tilt of your head. "I can look."

Trace Last Monday at 10:39 PM

You smile. "I'd appreciate it.."

Clover Last Monday at 10:41 PM

You flush, apparently surprised. You haven't seen that in a while, have you.

Trace Last Monday at 11:06 PM

"Uhm. Thank you for hearing me out.." You work on getting up. "Guess I should get going..." Best to leave on a good note, right?

Clover Last Monday at 11:07 PM

Nope. Gonna hug.

Trace Last Monday at 11:20 PM

Oh uh. Alright. You accept your punishment, flop back down and wrap your arms around him.

Clover Last Monday at 11:42 PM

"Trace," you mumble, squeezing tighter and pressing your face into his shirt. "'m scared. Don't leave."

Trace Last Monday at 11:53 PM

"Okay..." You exhale slowly, one hand petting his hair. "Whatever you need. I'm here."

January 29, 2019

Clover Last Tuesday at 12:08 AM

A soft whine. "Nepeta told me to stop expecting people to leave."

Trace Last Tuesday at 12:10 AM

"Did she? Sounds like good advice. She's good at that.."

Clover Last Tuesday at 12:11 AM

"I'm not the kind of person people stay with."

Trace Last Tuesday at 12:45 AM

You chuckle. "Sure you are. Look around you."

Clover Last Tuesday at 12:46 AM

"....you think?"

Trace Last Tuesday at 1:03 AM

Pet him more. "Yeah, like you got what, two loyal boyfriends." Unfortunately so. "And many more friends that'll stick with you and be there for you." Sigh. "Hell, even me. And even so, we... don't exactly have the luxury of hoping for a long life, so focus on the days they're staying, not the day you expect them to leave."

Clover Last Tuesday at 1:30 AM

"I just- it doesn't seem real. Someday or somehow I'm gonna fuck up and I'm not gonna have you again." A quiet sigh. "Scratch told me Fin was testing me and I probably failed it."

Trace Last Tuesday at 9:14 AM

"Alright but.. I fucked up big-time and here you are, clinging to me. That's something you should worry about when that happens." Pet his hair. "I mean.. probably. Not consciously, but that's what he does all the time, test how far he can go." Sigh. "He's mad and thinks you hate him. If you want to prove him otherwise, I'm sure you can. Just things like that take time. And if you don't want to, you know, I get it. He's a handful. Just try not to poke him further. I know he's not making it easy, but you got the smarter brains."

Clover Last Tuesday at 4:44 PM

"Yeah, but you're....Trace. You're cool and smart and funny and basically impossible to leave behind...." You relax slowly. "'m just useful. Good for understandin' certain things and good for my luck but sometimes nobody needs luck to get around. (I ain't pokin' Fin hardly at all he's the one tryin' his best to get me to snap. Which I won't, not again.)"

Trace Today at 6:06 PM

You give a dry laugh. "Some might argue on the smart. Hell, I'm pretty sure the only reason Scratch didn't get rid of me for being a liability yet is because he's too caught up in some sunk-cost-fallicy. But see, people adore you and love you. You easily get along with anyone. You're clever, charming, usually reasonable and damn headstrong. And most of all, you're a person. One of us. Family and all, right?"

Clover Today at 6:26 PM

You squish him tight for a moment and breathe out. "Family. Real family."

Trace Today at 11:46 PM

Just a bit ago you didn't even believe in it yourself anymore.. "Yeah. Weird, isn't it?"

Clover Today at 11:47 PM

"Extremely."

Trace Today at 11:48 PM

> And then they cuddled for a while

==>Vriska: Visit Dave.

((Long log RP where Dave and Vriska talk about things and just be generally cute. @1neffabl3))

[10:21] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] arrives almost exactly fifteen minutes later, appearifying with a bag of sweets to go with their coffee. She looks frustrated and tired, but gives him a smirk anyway when she steps from the platform. --

[10:21] AG: I got snacks.

[10:22] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] turns quickly towards the platform when the transportalizer goes off, giving Vriska a small smile. Two coffee cups in his hands, he walks towards her from the kitchen gesturing one at her. --

[10:22] TG: i see. thank you. i forgot about the snack part. got two cups of coffee. you need cream in yours?

[10:23] AG: I'll drink it str8 this time. What did you want to talk a8out?

[10:24] TG: i just wanted to talk in person about the the stuff that we talked about. like the me being real thing, and the dirk thing, and everything pretty much. i just wanted to see you, too.

[10:25] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] takes her coffee with a heavy sigh, sipping it while eyeing him over the rim of the cup. --

[10:25] AG: It's not that deep.

[10:25] AG: None of it is.

[10:27] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] takes a sip as well, then another, exhaling nervously after swallowing the coffee. --

[10:27] TG: i know its not /that/ deep, but i still just wanted to talk about it. im curious. i know curiosity kills the cat, but satisfaction will bring it right back.

[10:27] TG: im the cat in this situation.

[10:27] TG: did you talk about this whole thing with sollux?

[10:28] AG: No. I only warned him like I warned you.

[10:30] TG: about whats going on in a day?

[10:34] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] brushes by him with a nod, her lips pursed when she glances back at him after sitting down on the nearer couch. --

[10:34] AG: Dave that's also not that deep.

[10:34] AG: Your 8rother is an asshole and he's messed with the wrong person. I don't want you thinking I'm trying to white knight you or something.

[10:35] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] purses his lips together in return, taking another sip of his coffee and leaning against the kitchen counter with his elbows. --

[10:36] TG: its a little deep. youre putting your life at risk here, you know? i think thats pretty deep.

[10:36] AG: It's not!

[10:36] TG: i dont think youre trying to white knight me. i just feel bad as us being together was the instigator for the fight happening, and part of me feels guilty. but i already mentioned that.

[10:38] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] scoffs at his wording, rolling her eyes over her coffee cup again. --

[10:38] AG: Now you're looking too deeply into it.

[10:40] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] rolls his eyes back at her, taking another long sip from his cup. He opens his mouth to reply, pauses, and shuts it, mulling over some thoughts in his head. --

[10:40] TG: how am i looking to deep into this?

[10:42] AG: He pro8a8ly.

[10:42] AG: Thinks that this will 8e some grand gesture of how humans are 8etter than us to 8egin with.

[10:43] AG: He's pro8a8ly just using you as an excuse so he doesn't look 8ad over it.

[10:43] AG: He o8viously h8s us, Dave.

[10:44] TG: i know he does. he makes it very clear whenever you guys deign to step on his toes about anything. i dont know why. hes ranted about it before but i never know what to say, or how to reply. i always have the words fall out of my throat when he talks about that kind of stuff.

[10:44] TG: if it was some grand gesture though, i dont think hed use me for it.

[10:48] AG: You think he's actually 8rave enough to just kill one of us to prove a point?

[10:52] TG: i dont think he would, but he might fuck one of us up real bad.

[10:56] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] crosses her legs, the cup resting in her hands against her thigh. The only sounds from her for a while are the quiet taps of her claws against the stoneware as she tries to keep it together. --

[10:56] AG: Dave I... listen. I really sincerely think he plans on just killing me outright and if he does, I pro8a8ly had it coming for taking his 88. 8ut if he does I really don't want you to do anything stupid.

[10:56] AG: You have to make sure Sollux doesn't.

[10:58] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] furrows his eyebrows with a long sigh and finishes the rest of his coffee, setting the empty mug on the counter with a soft 'clink' of ceramic on marble. He hesitates for a brief moment before walking over and sitting on the couch next to Vriska. --

[10:58] TG: i dont know if he has the guts to kill you outright, though. has it been determined if youre allowed to use your abilities?

[10:58] TG: i wont do anything stupid.

[10:58] TG: ill try to stop sollux, but i dont know if ill be able to.

[11:01] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] looks at him for a moment before dropping her gaze to the cup. --

[11:01] AG: I won't use my powers 8ecause I don't need to.

[11:01] AG: I already called him a coward for hiding 8ehind his god tier.

[11:02] TG: his god tier is probably the only reason he thinks he can take you at all.

[11:09] AG: I don't know.

[11:09] AG: I haven't even talked to Nepeta a8out it yet.

[11:10] TG: i think you should at least tell her its going to happen.

[11:10] TG: is it tomorrow?

[11:10] AG: I think the day after tomorrow, since it happened this morning in earth time.

[11:13] TG: then id tell nepeta tomorrow, if you can.

[11:13] TG: she needs to know.

[11:14] AG: I know.

[11:14] AG: 8ut I don't want her getting angry with me.

[11:15] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] shrugs, her lips pursed again. --

[11:16] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] shrugs at her shrug, putting his hands on his knees afterwards and fiddling with the fabric of his jeans. --

[11:16] TG: i think shed be more angry if you didnt tell her, or told her at the last minute.

[11:16] TG: i know that she probably doesnt want you to fight, but if you told her why she might be more understanding.

[11:18] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] scoffs again, softly. This time more to herself. He can't see the frown tugging at her lips through the curtain of her hair but it's deep and full of pain. --

[11:18] AG: How could he say things a8out you like that?

[11:18] AG: Do you even care?

[11:22] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] eyebrows furrow deeper at her question. It took him by surprise, that's for sure. He takes a few moments to collect his thoughts, his brain whirring at a mile a minute. --

[11:22] TG: i think at this point im just used to it, thats all. it doesnt even register until its too late, and im already upset.

[11:25] AG: Fight 8ack.

[11:25] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] speaks the words softly, almost nothing but a whisper. --

[11:29] TG: how? with words? with phsyical fighting?

[11:30] TG: im weak, vriska. dirk knows exactly what buttons to push to make me back off. i can try to fight back though ive just.

[11:30] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] pauses, closing his eyes thoughtfully. --

[11:30] TG: never thought about it.

[11:32] AG: You aren't weak, stupid.

[11:32] AG: Don't 8e a coward.

[11:32] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] looks up finally, glaring at him. --

[11:32] AG: I don't fall for cowards.

[11:36] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] falls silent at her words, eyes wide. --

[11:36] TG: fall for?

[11:39] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] clicks her tongue, standing suddenly. --

[11:39] AG: It's not that deep.

[11:39] TG: i know its not that deep but. just surprised.

[11:39] TG: i wont be a coward anymore.

[11:40] AG: Stand up to him then! Tell him you're pissed a8out what he said!

[11:41] TG: now?

[11:41] AG: Whenever.

[11:41] TG: soon.

[11:41] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] sighs. --

[11:42] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] looks over at Vriska with a worried look. He clasps his hands together and wrings them anxiously. --

[11:42] TG: i. in the morning.

[11:42] TG: i promise.

[11:42] AG: Don't do it for me. Do it for yourself.

[11:42] TG: im doing it for myself.

[11:43] TG: youve just given me the kick in the ass to do it.

[11:43] AG: Good!!!!!!!!

[11:43] TG: im. sorry.

[11:43] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] sighs. --

[11:45] AG: For what now?

[11:45] TG: im sorry for being like this tonight. i dont mean to be like this. im nervous about confronting him (as i always am), im nervous for YOU, im nervous about a lot of things. i just. can you stay the night tonight? you dont have to if you have things to do.

[11:49] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] blinks, her arms crossing under her chest. --

[11:49] AG: If you want me to I will. For as long as I can at least.

[11:50] TG: i do want you to. thats why i asked, silly.

[11:50] TG: you dont mind?

[11:50] AG: Nah. It 8eats sitting around in my quarters stewing all light.

[11:50] AG: Just.

[11:50] TG: you can instead stew here, with me.

[11:50] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] looks him in the eyes with a steady gaze. --

[11:51] AG: Don't read into it too much, okay?

[11:51] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] returns her stare, nodding at her request. --

[11:51] TG: i wont read into it at all. pinky promise.

[11:52] AG: Okay good. I wouldn't want you getting too attached right 8efore I might not 8e around anymore.

[11:53] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] smiles slightly, moving to sit right beside him. --

[11:53] TG: i mean, it might be too late for that, considering im asking you to stay and keep me company, but dont read into that too much, alright?

[11:53] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] returns her smile with one of his own, reaching up and freeing his hair from his ponytail, shaking it free. --

[11:58] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] chuckles softly, leaning over to wrap her arms around him tightly. --

[11:58] AG: I hope it isn't too l8.

[11:58] TG: too l8 for what?

[11:58] AG: Attachment.

[12:00] TG: i hope its not either.

[12:00] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] tentatively places a tiny kiss on her forehead. very tentatively! --

[12:01] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] glances up at him, a sincere smile stretched across her lips. He should consider himself lucky, being one of three people to have ever seen it. --

[12:05] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] smiles back when her smile stretches across her face. She looks absolutely radiant. His cheeks are tinted a subtle red in the dim light of his apartment. He places another kiss on her forehead, firmer this time. --

[12:09] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] laughs softly, reaching up to poke his nose. --

[12:09] AG: 8y the way.

[12:09] AG: You're too warm.

[12:14] TG: you like how warm i am. im like a sexy version of a hot water bottle.

[12:14] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] kisses the tip of her nose at her poking his! --

[12:19] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] rolls her eyes, shoving him away without much force behind it. --

[12:19] AG: Don't get ahead of yourself.

[12:20] TG: ahead of myself how! why are you booing me. im right! im the sexiest water bottle youll ever meet.

[12:20] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] winks! --

[12:20] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] scoffs loudly, throwing herself against the couch with a groan. --

[12:20] AG: Oh gr8, now he's putting on airs.

[12:21] TG: me? put on airs? how very unexpected! theres an impostor in the house.

[12:22] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] continues winking before breaking off into a fit of laughter. --

[12:27] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] groans as she slides off the couch onto the floor, acting as if she's dying from his antics. --

[12:27] AG: Gross, you're too much. I take it 8ack I'm going 8ack to the ship.

[12:27] TG: no you arent. my antics are just enough for you. this is the perfect primetime entertainment to fill up your night.

[12:28] AG: Oh no, I'm getting up as soon as I can gather the strength to go.

[12:28] TG: the strength?

[12:30] AG: I'm dying.

[12:30] TG: of?

[12:31] AG: Em8arrassment.

[12:31] TG: embarrassed? of what? how charming and wonderful and cool i am?

[12:31] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] slides down from the couch next to Vriska, running his hand through his hair with a smile. --

[12:32] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] pouts at him. --

[12:32] AG: You keep saying words I just can't quite understand.

[12:33] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] sneaks a quick kiss on her cheek. --

[12:34] TG: what words would you understand to convey how cool i am?

[12:36] AG: Ones usually starting with an N and ending in erd.

[12:37] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] plants her hand on his face, pushing him away gently. --

[12:37] TG: you cant trick me. that just means nerd!

[12:38] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] pushes him even farther. --

[12:38] AG: Exactly.

[12:39] TG: hey.

[12:39] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] blinks in surprise. --

[12:39] TG: did i say something wrong?

[12:47] AG: No you're just 8eing a huge nerd.

[12:48] TG: YOURE being a huge nerd. its huge nerd city right now, population us.

[12:48] AG: I shouldn't have 8een counted in this census.

[12:49] TG: you did because youre just as big a nerd as i am, if not bigger. our nerd auras rival each other in strength every day.

[12:50] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] groans again, hiding her face in her hands. --

[12:50] AG: Em8arrassing...

[12:52] TG: it isnt. no need to be embarrassed. youre among friends and fellow nerds.

[12:53] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] extends a hand out for her to take, if she'd like. --

[12:54] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] grumbles, taking it with a devious expression playing around her lips. --

[12:55] AG: Well if you say so.

[12:56] TG: whats that look for?

[12:56] AG: What look?

[12:56] TG: that look!

[12:57] AG: This is my regular face.

[12:58] TG: your regular face isnt as devious as this one.

[12:58] AG: So you say.

[12:59] TG: i do say! what are you planning, vriska?

[12:59] AG: Nothing!

[12:59] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] stands up, brushing herself off. --

[12:59] AG: Why do you think I have something planned?

[12:59] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] shrugs, looking up at her from his spot on the floor. --

[01:00] TG: a devious face usually means a plan, but i could be wrong.

[01:01] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] blows him a kiss. --

[01:01] AG: It might.

[01:01] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] blows her a kiss back with a smile. --

[01:01] TG: give me a hint?

[01:03] AG: Nope!

[01:03] TG: vriska! 8(

[01:03] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] stands up quickly, crossing his arms with a pout. --

[01:04] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] shrugs, turning away with a flip of her hair. --

[01:04] AG: You'll find out when you're older.

[01:04] TG: im plenty old, vriska. arent we about the same age?

[01:04] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] pauses. --

[01:05] TG: are you really leaving?

[01:05] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] glances over her shoulder, frowning a little. --

[01:05] AG: No I'm not.

[01:05] AG: 8ut I'm tired.

[01:06] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] nods, biting his lip, before gesturing to the bedroom. --

[01:06] TG: you can always go to bed, if youd like. i dont know if you use beds? some trolls do, right?

[01:06] AG: I do.

[01:07] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] offers her hand with sarcastic daintiness. --

[01:07] AG: Lead the way, sir knight.

[01:07] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] smiles and gently takes her hand, leading her towards the very soft, plush bed in the middle of his bedroom. A few candles are flickering on his bedside table. --

[01:08] TG: here you are, my thief.

[01:08] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] snorts, throwing herself into the bed without much thought. --

[01:08] AG: Ah sleep.

[01:08] TG: you want me to go to bed with you now or slide in when youre asleep? i can write until i hear snoring.

[01:09] AG: I don't snore!!!!!!!!

[01:09] AG: Do what you want, asshat.

[01:09] TG: you definitely snore. 8;)

[01:09] AG: I do not.

[01:09] TG: prove it! im the only one thats able to hear it right now, and boy, do i definitely hear it.

[01:09] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] smiles! --

[01:10] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] rolls her eyes, burying her face in a pillow as she flips him the bird. --

[01:11] AG: I don't snore 8ut you sure do!

[01:20] TG: proof! i need solid proof of this!

[01:21] AG: Oh no I just know you do. It's pretty 8ad.

[01:27] TG: i can 100% guarentee that mine is much more palatable than yours. youre sawing wood all night long, vriska.

[01:27] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] smiles, his tone teasing. --

[01:29] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] clicks her tongue, shaking her head against the pillow. --

[01:29] AG: You wound me.

[01:30] TG: im just teasing. we both snore at the same volume.

[01:40] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] pats the bed. --

[01:40] AG: Come on, I'm tired.

[01:41] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] nods, wiggling out of his shirt and pants to slide on a pair of pj pants, before sliding under the covers next to Vriska. --

[01:41] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] wiggles over to rest against his chest. --

[01:41] AG: Goodnight Dave.

[01:41] TG: goodnight vriska. leave me a note if you leave before i wake up.

[01:43] AG: I will.

[01:43] TG: thank you. sleep good.

[01:44] -- aquarelleGrandiloquence [AG] closes her eyes, dozing almost instantly. --

[01:44] AG: I will...

[01:44] -- tactileGrandiloquence [TG] smiles softly, giving the crown of her head a soft sleep before passing out himself. --

We were joking about this again last night and I didn’t want to work on research was bored so here’s a relatively unpolished thing of the Game Over kids coming up with a (in hindsight) blindingly obvious solution to their problem. I remain stupefied by this apparent oversight.

Starring Nepeta, because she’s earned it.

After what you've been through, the silence of the dream bubbles is comforting. You sit still and hug your knees. It's nice to be just you, in your own skin, with nothing else in the way.

"I'm going to be sick," says the human you were imprisoned with, and he is. Nothing comes up.

You can't blame him. It had been suffocating, and he'd been throwing a fit for most of it. You'd kept quiet, but not because you didn't care. You didn't see the point of screaming when it didn't help. Instead you waited, watched, and at the right moment finally struggled just hard enough that the entity that you'd become hesitated as the Furthest Ring cracked apart and the growing void sucked you in. At least your ghosts woke up here, instead of being trapped in the singularity forever.

Wherever you are now, the black hole hasn't eaten it. The darkness is still illuminated by glittering cracks, but the surface beneath you is whole. There's no sign of Lord English, or the army. Is anyone nearby?

You didn't need to learn much about Heart during your session. Your existing combat skills were enough. Once you'd been out here for a while, you started to think it was about souls. About who people are, deep down. Maybe that's why you can handle a place where you're stripped down to your Self with a thousand others vying for the title. Maybe that's why you're recovering faster from being crushed beneath some other consciousness and buried under an aggregate of other lives. You know who you are. You're the Rogue of Heart, and here, you are useful.

There's a cluster of bright sparks in your inner vision. Souls, glowing with the dim luminescence of the dreaming dead. Part of you would love some solitude, but you also want to interact with people as yourself, to hear people call you by your name. It'll help you settle more firmly back into your skin.

"I feel some spirits not far away," you say. "I think they're friends." Dave doesn't look at you at first. Maybe you should just leave, but you feel some level of loyalty after what you've been through. "Want to come?"

It takes him a few tries to stand, but he does.

You see Karkat and Kanaya with a cluster of the humans. You shouldn't know all their names, but the entity that possessed you rifled through the memories of all Nepetas everywhen, picking whatever scraps it felt like plastering onto itself in an off-key impression. The remnants had been left scattered through your thinkpan, and so you vaguely remember being a sprite in their session. Terezi is there too, sitting next to Vriska. They're leaning into each other's shoulders. Equius isn’t there. He must still be mixed with that AI who does most of the talking. You don’t see Gamzee either, for which you are grateful.

When you approach, Jade grabs Dave by the shirt and starts asking questions about her brother that you know from your time together he can't answer. Kanaya approaches you a little more slowly. "Nepeta," she says. "It's good to see you again. I wish we were meeting under better circumstances."

"Yeah." You tuck a strand of hair behind your ears, a nervous habit you fall back on sometimes during conversation. It’s been a while since you’ve seen these people. They’re older than you now. "It's not so bad for me, but I thought you guys might win. I'm sorry you didn’t."

"Have you seen Rose out there?" she asks.

You remember Rose, the human who'd been nice enough to let you talk to her cat-lusus. It would've been hard to miss her, considering her brother screaming "That's my sister, leave her alone, don't touch her" what felt like right into your auditory sponge. "She was like us," you say. "Made into a sprite, and then prototyped too many times. So... she's still alive. Sort of.”

"She's trapped," says Dave, smoothing out the front of his shirt. He looks relieved to be able to change the subject. "And she must be pissed as hell. It's like some Lovecraftian nightmare with a sugar high sets up shop in your brain to make a mockery of everything you hold dear. Thank god none of you saw us, I'd never live it down. Figuratively."

"Then we have to get her out," Kanaya says firmly.

"Hey, I'd be right behind you," Dirk says. The others have drifted over to listen in. It’s not like there’s much else to do – this part of the bubbles doesn’t have much in the way of scenery. "I could yank her soul out and everything; that's a thing I can do. Problem is, our mobility is limited due to us all being fucking dead."

Jake scratches his head. "Ghosts can come back. That Aranea did."

"The ring," Vriska says, looking up from whatever quiet communion she and Terezi had been locked in. "She stole the ring of life from John somehow."

"That piece of shit?" Dave exchanges a look with Jade. "Did you know about that?"

"I didn't know it was magic," she says. "I just thought it was something he'd found somewhere. He didn't like to talk about it." She frowns. "He didn't talk to me a lot that last year."

"Well, there's only one of those," Karkat snaps. "So that's not very useful, unless we want to elect an ambassador to the world of the living or draw up a schedule."

"Roxy might be able to make more..." Jade says slowly. "Where is she, anyway?"

You shrug. You would have looked for her, you like Roxy, but you didn't see much of the new session, and you don't have many memories of what went wrong in the old one.

"She's alive," Terezi says. "Her and John. I saw them before I died. They were going to fix things."

The other Dave, the one that traveled on the meteor, looks around at the shattered dreamscape, the crowd of ghosts. "Not to criticize, but things don't look fixed."

"They're setting things right in a new timeline," she explains. "We're stuck here as rejects from the old one."

"A new timeline," Kanaya repeats. "Going how far back?"

"Our problems really kicked in as soon as your crew arrived," Jake says. "Although I suppose we could have dealt with things if only that troll hadn't gotten her mitts on the ring. That's the crucial moment that truly sealed our fates. As long as you stop that, I’m sure we could manage."

Terezi shakes her head. "Think further. I told them to save Vriska."

Even Vriska looks confused by that. Karkat is the first to speak. "You undid whole sweeps of our lives? Why the fuck would you do that?"

Terezi spreads her hands out. "Look, maybe it wasn't the most rational decision in hindsight, but it's not like you've never made calls based on some sort of emotional impulse."

"And look how that turned out." He shakes his head. "We should've talked to you about that guilt complex earlier so you didn't change the entire universe just to try to deal with it."

"Yeah," meteor-Dave deadpans. "If you'd sat backwards on a chair earlier this could've all been avoided."

"Shut the fuck up," he says without real rancor. "Well, good luck to those poor bastards."

"I'm right here," Vriska says.

"I notice you haven't actually disagreed."

"No.” She shakes her head, and her long braids – unraveling at the end – shudder. “I met the new me. She's a bitch."

"Good. We're all on the same page here. I'm almost glad I'm dead."

"You know..." you say.

Terezi glances at you and then away again to continue their squabble. They've never taken you seriously because you were the silly shy girl, who spent her time having fun and playing games while the others made important decisions. But you have memories of time spent with a Life player, and you'd know that color scheme anywhere. "You know," you say again, louder. "I don't think you need a ring to come back to life."

"What do you mean?" That's Dirk. He might not know you well, but he looks desperate enough to look anywhere for input.

"Well...." You shrug. "You've got a Life player right there."

The Life player in question stares at you for a moment and then down at the symbol on her chest, like she’s checking to make sure it’s still there. "You mean...?"

"That can't work, can it?" Jake asks. "It would be too easy."

"Feferi helped us once," Karkat says. "A dead one from a doomed timeline. Her powers still worked. I don't know why I didn't remember sooner."

Jane looks down at her hands. "With a body, I know I could do it. But with a ghost... I don’t know. I guess I could try."

"Just a moment," Kanaya interrupts. "I wasn't convinced by your threats earlier that Life abilities could harm the undead, but if that principle does hold, you might hurt us instead of helping."

"I volunteer," Dirk says immediately.

Jane sighs. "Dirk, really."

"I'm serious. I glitched myself into fucking pixels and I'm still here. I'm indestructible. Do your worst."

"Well in that case…” It takes Jane a moment to catch up with herself. “Wait. You did what? Are you saying the way you got here... you did it to yourself?"

Before Dirk can respond, Terezi interjects. "Save that for later. As the Seer here, I say you give it your best shot. It's a good idea."

"We're not through talking about this," Jane growls. Then she points a blue-laced hand at Dirk and gives it her best shot.

"Well?" Kanaya asks after a moment. "Did it work?"

Dirk looks himself up and down. "I don't feel any different."

"We can't see through your shades, Strider," Jake says.

Dirk hesitates (whether out of reluctance or for theatrical effect you’re not sure) and then pushes the pointy glasses on his face up. You get a good look, as does everybody else. Orange. Humans have such strange eye colors.

"It worked," Jane breathes. “Isn't that something. Gather round, everyone. I'll fix us right up." She turns, looks at Karkat, and then her face changes. "Oh. Oh no."

"What?" Jade follows her gaze and then puts a hand to her mouth. "Ohhhh."

"What?" Karkat's voice rises. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I can only do this once," Jane says. "Once per person. And I've already done you."

"What are you talking about?" Terezi asks. "Karkat, are you telling me you got yourself killed that quickly? And I missed it?"

"Don't blame me!" He points at Jane, who takes a step back. "Blame her. Jade too, it was her idea. Crocker here was just the willing hand with the fork.”

"The two of them decided to demonstrate Jane's abilities," Kanaya explains. "They were following the Empress's orders at the time."

"That's right," Jade says quickly. "I was bad then. And." She bites her lip. "And I was angry."

"So we can't hold that against them, right?" Jake says, with a smile that looks unnaturally stiff. "Let bygones be bygones, right Jane? After all, I've already forgotten that little interaction in the jail cell. In fact, forget I mentioned it!"

"What did Jane do?" Dirk asks. Jane groans and covers her eyes. "What the hell are you all talking about?"

"That's what I want to know," meteor-Dave adds. "Jade, you killed someone because "you were mad"? What the fuck happened to you in the last three years?"

"What happened to you, defending the aliens?" Dave snaps back. "Since when are they really on our side? No offense," he adds, glancing over at you. "You seem ok, I guess."

You roll your eyes. "I appreciate it, human scum."

Meteor-Dave has ignored this aside. "I know you were off bleeding instead of being useful during our game, but they are on our side, you outdated fucking museum specimen."

"The tiara top," you hear Jane saying to no one in particular. "I was going to apologize and explain, we just didn't have time-"

"Will all of you shut up?" Karkat demands. "I'm a little more preoccupied with the pressing matter of my mortality than whatever hangups you've got with each other. You can all pile into the confession booth later if that'll make you happy."

"But Karkat," Terezi says, "it's like watching one of your memos in real life."

"Will you ever let the memos go?"

"Like I said," Vriska interrupts, "there's the ring."

You took a step back when she spoke - your last memories of her aren't great. But this one seems milder, though maybe that's the dreambubbles nipping at the edges of her soul, like they do to everyone eventually.

"That's right," Terezi says. "The ring. The Empress killed Aranea, I saw that much. So it might be up for grabs again. It likes to vanish and reappear."

"But where?" Dirk asks. "Do you think it would be near her ghost?"

Jake balls his hands up. "Are you saying we could go beat up that spider troll's ghost? Because I am ALL for a rematch. Don't bring me back yet, Jane. That way if she tries to kill me again she won't be able to."

"I could find her, maybe," Terezi says. "This place is made of memories, so if I follow her mind... With the ring so smashed up, there aren’t that many places to hide."

"How do we tell she's the right one?" Jade asks. She’s latched onto this new subject eagerly, probably to escape the last one. "We can't just jump on every version of this troll, can we?"

"I can tell," you say. You have a knack for that out here. You can strike up a conversation with one Tavros and later pick him out of a crowd of twenty, even if his outfit is different. Once you know a little bit about how the person has changed, they don't wear their face the same. This Aranea - what she did will show.

“Sounds like a plan,” Dirk says. “I like it."

"You'll have to sit this one out," Jane says. "You're mortal again, and I can only save you once. Perils of being the guinea pig, I'm afraid. And I am officially team leader. I think it's time I actually lived up to that. Metaphorically, if I must."

He scowls but doesn't argue.

Jade turns to Terezi. "You said there's a new timeline, right? Does that mean there’s a new group of all of us?"

"That's right. It's up to that set to win now."

"I doubt they'd like us crashing the party," Dirk says. "God knows I have enough problems fighting myself, and it looks like that's a family trait."

"Can't do it no matter what," says Dave. "The Furthest Ring is neutral territory, but once we're in the same Skaia-supervised universe, doomed double rules apply. We'll get picked off."

"Great, more complications." Karkat throws up his hands. "Then where do we go, even if we do come back?"

"It's a big multiverse," Kanaya says. "There must be somewhere."

"There must be somewhere," Jake agrees. "I'm not going to sit here in the dark for eternity because some troll got a bee in her bonnet about how our story was supposed to go. I was never that concerned about winning the game on its terms anyway, as long as we made it out ok. I don't even know what the victory state is supposed to be."

"Then it's agreed," Jane says. "We find Aranea, get that ring, I bring us all back, and we go somewhere. Somewhere better."

"And we find Rose," Kanaya adds.

"Definitely," says meteor-Dave. "We can call up John and Rose's mom too, see if they want to hang out with us losers or stick with the winning team. Maybe we can get shared custody."

“If we see other people…” You almost trail off, but they’re looking at you, so you complete the thought. “Maybe we should let them come too, if they want. It seems fair.”

Jane nods. “I’m willing to try. The one time rule might not count for different versions of the same person.”

"Can I come?" Vriska asks. You’re surprised she was polite enough to ask. She really has changed.

Terezi links arms with her. "Wouldn't have it any other way, sister."

"Hold on," Karkat says. "I’m still technically leader of the Alternian band of chucklefucks, which means I get to make that kind of decision. You're not going to try another megalomaniacal plot as soon as our backs are turned, are you? If I recall correctly, you got killed for a reason.”

She juts her chin forward, a bit of her old vigor returning to her voice. "I'm not like that anymore.”

"I guess we can keep an eye on you if you’re lying."

Terezi pinches the bridge of her nose with her free hand. "Karkat, do you think you could be a little bit less of a dick if you really tried?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm a little on edge. I've been murdered."

"We've all been murdered," Kanaya says. "Or most of us, at least. Just establishing that for the record."

"And it sucks.”

"I don't blame him for not trusting me," Vriska says quietly, which shuts even Karkat up. You look her over. You don't know what she's been doing since you saw her last, but the person behind the face is different now. It makes you think of a drawing in that smudgy, formless state when you’re still working out the details. On its way to being something, but not there yet, tenuous enough that a stray line would ruin the entire picture. It’s the point where you have to make a decision about what the final product ought to be.

"Well," Terezi says at last. "That's settled, then. We'll get some vengeance, and then we'll figure out what to do next. How's that for a plan?"

"It's actually three quarters of a plan, because some leetspeaking weirdo wrote a four instead of an A, but otherwise it sounds good," says meteor-Dave. She sticks her tongue out at him.

Jane nods and uncaptchalogues an enormous fork. That’s right – she is an heiress, technically, and she handles the official weapon with ease. "It sounds good to me too. Let's go win this game on our terms."

1 and 3?

I'm assuming this is for the identity Ask one since I just reblogged the detailed OC question ask like half a second before I noticed this in my inbox, correct me if I mixed em up tho. Answer 1: If someone really wanted to get to know me/understand me, they would have to read: long sci-fi/fictional novel series such as the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer, fan-fictions of either reader inserts/OC inserts that are like "Depressed!Reader X Anime/Game Character" or something like that cause those are the only stories that can actually make me cry from the feels ._. ((For some reason I always like those ones better cause in my opinion those are more realistic than pure romantic fan-fictions))They would have to listen to: Panic! At The Disco, My Chemical Romance, Three Days Grace, fan made songs for games ((mostly undertale and batim)), Electro swing music, random songs from animation memes or that are inspiring for making fun characters and art stuff. They would have to watch: cartoons from present 2017 and dating back through the years all the way to the 90's ((I wasn't born in the 90's but in the early 2000's so I still got to grow up with all those shows, im a sucker for the Rug Rats)). They'd also have to watch shows like "A Haunting" or "Mountain Monsters" cause I'm a believer of all that stuff and personally enjoy watching people scaring themselves by wandering around some random house or area at night trying to find something. ((Sorry that this is going to be so long btw))Answer 3: Undertale: Sans ((because I'm reaaalllyyy lazy but still secretly watch out for all my friends and flip my shiz when someone hurts them))Homestuck: Kanaya ((sorry if I spelled it wrong, but I relate to her cause I'm a Virgo myself, my choice of weapon is personally a chainsaw :3, and I always look fabulous no matter what I'm wearing. I relate to Gamzee, Nepeta, Tavros, and Karkat to, but I'm closer to Kanaya))My Hero Academia: Shoto Todoroki((I have parent issues ._. Not severe though, and it's with my mom not my dad. My mom isn't like me at all, she try's to make me be like an average girl who like wearing dressing, painting nails, tanned skin, not a fat ass, and girly shit, rather than a gothic styled emo-like art nerd to hates sunlight and has pale skin. When I came out to her for being Pansexual, she yelled in my face "WE ARE A HETEROSEXUAL FAMILY!!!" And made an excuse saying she doesn't want me profiling myself to fit in with my friends who are either gay, bisexual, asexual, or pansexual. She said I'm not allowed to have one until I date someone, and not only that, but she thinks sexualitys are literally just about having sex, not what gender of person u would be in a relationship, literally just what u want to fuck is a sexuality to her. I'll just rant about this later blah blah. But me and this guy both have parent issues, and have pure reasons to push on through life. His is to show his dad he doesn't have to use his right side with his dads quirk just to be a good hero, and mine is to stand up for people and show those who think there's something wrong with not being straight or becoming trans/agender that this is a real thing and they have to accept it, not try to suffocate it out of existence and make others hate themselves for what they are. Batim: Bendy((I choose Bendy not just cause he's a fabulous bean, but because I've been betrayed and abandoned by lots of people I've trusted over my life time, and I've been hurt worse and worse each time but I hide it behind my tsundere-like harsh attitude to strangers and behind a my caring smile to my friends. I don't hurt myself though cause I know that won't help me so I don't want people thinking that ._. But anyways, that's really how I can connect with Bendy, along with the fact I love singing and art too that's also a contributing factor ^w^))FNAF ((all games so there will be multiple characters)): Foxy, Chica, Mangle, Marionette, Golden Freddy, Baby, Ballora, and basically all the nightguards. ((I connect with Foxy, Mangle, and Golden Freddy because I've been abandoned, broken, betrayed, and forgotten before and have learned to accept it. I can relate to Marionette and Ballora because I'm protective of all my friends and act as the peace maker in my clique along with loving my music and getting pissed when I have to turn it off or when someone is in my room and touching my things. I can relate to Chica because FOOOOOOOODDDDDDDD XD. And I can relate to Baby cause of the mixed emotions and feelings from my past, and how sometimes I loose control and snap if I get to pissed off and unintentionally hurt someone. And then there's the nightguards, Mike, Jeremy, Fritz, and Vincent. I'm Like Mike cause I hide the scars from my past and am over protective, and make bad puns about EVERYTHING. I'm like Jeremy cause I'm Anime trash and stutter around on my words a lot and I can be shy n nice too. Im like Fritz cause I'm just a fat nerd, and im like Vincent, aka purple ponytail guy, because I HATE NEEDLES WITH A BURINING PASSION, I love toast, and I can be super creepy and terrifying sometimes))I'm sorry this is so long ._. U don't have to even read everything If u don't want too :P I hope I did the right one for the identity ask, if this was supposed to be for the detailed OC questions which was posted right after this one I'm sorry I messed up and I can make another thingy for that one too if u let me know.

hussie formspring trivia 7/?

So... Is Nepeta actually scratching him or is Gamzee slashing his face on purpose just to be fucked up?

He is slashing his face on purpose. Because I didn't think the erotic submissive asphyxiation fetish death was fucked up enough, I thought a little bit of self mutilation was in order. I hope at this point people realize that when you punched your Homestuck ticket, or really anything I've worked on, you were signing up for something that runs the risk of getting pretty fucked up. Practically everything I've done outside the confines of MSPA has been considerably more bizarre. I'm capable of containing the impulse to do bizarre shit when I want to. If you look at some big stretches of Homestuck, you will observe something that is quite tame, often cutesy, and even at times bordering on accessible. But then, to create a well manicured and widely palatable product was never the mission here. It was about exploration, high diversity of concepts and execution and all that, and I guess above all, fun for me personally. (and YOU!) So there are vehicles built into it to support my more usual fare. The primary vehicle for that was Hivebent, and the entire troll presence in the story in general. It began with a pretty messed up premise. The establishment of a colorful cast of kids from a violent race of psychopaths whose entire civilization centers around brutality and murder, and watching how kids from such a culture relate to each other and come of age. Hivebent began with dark notes relative to Homestuck, and only got darker. The scene with Vriska and Tavros in her quest cocoon was an example of the escalation in fucked up shit. Present events are even further escalation. It was always going to get much worse before it got better. If you got into this story more recently without knowing anything about me or what I've done before, and feel the story would be better suited without the inclusion of the more bizarre elements, or the downright NASTYTIMES, all I can say is that's not who I am or what you signed up for. Do you know about Humanimals? Probably most of you do. It's a comic I did years ago. I still think it's hilarious, personally. If you do too, then I would bet there aren't many ways in which our senses of humor differ. But to many it was disturbing, hideous rubbish. In truth, these comics are probably about as unsettling as you can possibly get without resorting to violent or sexual content. (if it appears sexual in nature, that is only your imagination at work, trust me) http://www.teamspecialolympics.com/comic.php?sec=archive&auth=Blurbs&cid=blurbs/00085-h.gif&blurb=h (Edward was on Equius's wall in the latest Flash) [here's where this answer probably gets a bit too long] I'm constantly mining content from my older work to incorporate into Homestuck. The instances of this are hard to quantify. Let's talk about Equius again. Lot's of people thought he had depth beyond his gags, and that's definitely true. But that wasn't what was relevant about him, to me personally. He was always the troll personification of everything like Humanimals I ever did and put on the internet. (Hence is lusus is basically a Humanimal.) I used to do all sorts of weird stuff, reviewing obscene furry pornography, making weird collages involving horses, and just a whole lot of bizarre shit that didn't make much sense, but I thought was funny. The whole span of these endeavors was quite trollish in nature, and you will agree if you peruse Humanimals. The fact that it puts some people off is part of what makes it funny. So Equius was that entire arena of trollish content, rolled into a character. That's why I was STRONGLY committed to maintaining the integrity of his arc, as I defined it. It was more important by far for me to adhere to his role as the fucked up dude who embodies all that stuff than have him blow it by doing something heroic. He believed he died a death of supreme integrity. And so do I. Don't get me wrong, he was still a gag character. But this was the precise nature of the gag, an homage to an entire vein of humor I used to deal in copiously. He, like some others, trolled you in life, and then trolled you in death. What happened in between, you ask? Well, that was just you falling in love. Whistles was a graphic novel I did years ago. It's another thing I've mined ideas from, which have specifically begun to show themselves lately with Gamzee's turn. And oddly, there's some of Whistles rolled into Equius too. If Equius seemed to accelerate to a point of depth faster than others, maybe it's because he was built on quite a payload of founding concepts, all revolving around perversity. Whistles was about a clown in a circus who was as sweet as could be. He loved his ringmaster, in spite of the fact that the master was a cannibal and a tyrant who attempted to kill him. When the circus rebelled against the master and beat him, Whistles flipped out, killed a lot of people, and absconded with the master into the desert. (nice clown going murderous is obviously what Gamzee imported from this) The recurring theme throughout the whole comic is that every time Whistles has a chance to do the right thing and rebel against his evil master, he can't overcome his loyalty to him. To the point where he offers his starving master his own severed arm to eat. The whole thing is darkly humorous and pretty messed up. Equius imported this insane reverence for the hierarchy at the expense of his own well being. Though with Whistles, it wasn't quite as perverse and didn't have the creepy sexual connotations. (However, at one point Whistles did dabble in prostitution. But when he did it, it was cute!) I get asked sometimes if I will make book 2, the conclusion of Whistles. The answer is, probably not. It's incredibly time consuming making a graphic novel, and I don't know where I'll find the time. It also probably just gathered too much dust for me to get into it again. But unlike Equius, I did plan on giving Whistles a heroic end. I always intended for him to overcome his obsession with his master. For what it's worth, I did finish a draft of book 2's first chapter. It introduces a new villain named Sugarshoe who is, get this, another insane clown! If you read through this and recent HS events, it may seem like I'm obsessed with this kind of thing. Not really. Like I said, I just borrow heavily from myself. http://www.andrewhussie.com/comic.php?sec=archive&auth=Andrew&cid=whistles2_draft/whistles2_001.jpg Just to wrap up this trivia binge, some other examples of old stuff I've rolled into Homestuck are.......... SBaHJ. I did a few strips on a whim, satirizing someone's comics, about one month before I started HS. I folded it into HS as it's primary source of original memes to be referenced ad nauseum. The whole Bro puppet obsession was largely sparked by this series of ridiculous muppet comics I did in the forum years ago. One of the comics actually made it in HS, pinned on Bro's door for Dave to find. File this under More Fucked Up Shit I did. http://www.mspaforums.com/showthread.php?24118-Cheerfulbear-PLAY-ME All the wizard stuff in Rose's house, and her wizardfic writing in general, was mostly imported from my own absurd wizardfic I wrote some years ago, a pretty healthy sized book I never quite finished. It was called Wizardy Herbert, and was a very flippantly satirical story about kids and magic, starting out as what seemed like an unapologetic Harry Potter spoof revolving around a magical summer camp instead of a school, and then quickly launching off the plot deep end into some very convoluted stuff of Homestuckian proportions. In fact, there are many ideas mined from this story and injected into Homestuck. Any time you read anything about magic being stupid or not being real or anything like that, that's Wizardy Herbert talking. Zazzerpan and his full Complacency were minor characters in WH. WH is actually extremely similar to HS, in terms of the nature of the dialogue, the blend of utter silliness and dramatic seriousness, and complexity. It feels like such a similar thing to me, this might be the main reason why I'll never quite finish it. Characters from WH are on Rose's wall here. http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002121 Herbert is the guy with the eye patch. He had a magic gun. But he could never figure out how to use magic, so he primarily just went around shooting things. Anyway I guess that's enough about all that.

ACT OMEGA PART 22

THE 03/17/17 UPDATE

HERE WE GO, finally an update with a BUNCH of pages for me to comment about. Page 115-126, how exciting. God I need to get better with intro’s I’m sorry.

Heh, I like how everybody’s emotions are clear as day here. Anyways, nobody new’s here which makes me hope that this cast of characters will continue to interact and mingle.

W o ah there, calm yourself Vriska. She’s not lookin pleased with Tavvy over there. Also, I love how this is literally the exact same panel other than Vriska.

VRISKA: Wh8t?! VRISKA: The hell are all of you st8ring at???????? MEENAH: 38/

WHAT? IT’S PERFECTLY NORMAL TO PASS OUT DURING A LIFE-THREATENING BATTLE AGAINST AN UNKILLABLE GOD.

Fish gills changed a bit. This animation is also g re a t. I could literally watch Vriska just dust herself off for hours. God that sounded creepy. Fefefri is seeminnnn a lil taken aback here. And Meenah is real disappointed. Or just looking away to please Vriska, which would be cute but is probably not the case.

I love how not good Vriska is at recovering from embarrassing moments.

Oooohhh shit. Le’s behind the Juju im guessing, but that green hole is gettin closer and closer. They might need to start getting out of here soon.

VRISKA: What the hell just HAPPENED?

Homestuck happened. And you passed out.

Tavros raising his hand like a student. He would totally be the kind of student the teacher always has to pander to, even though the rest of the class is tired of hearing the same thing explained over and over.

TAVROS: dO YOU MEAN, tHE EXPLOSION,,,? TAVROS: oR,,, TAVROS: WAS IT AN ATTACK? TAVROS: iT WAS HARD TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE, TAVROS: sO MAYBE IT DOESN’T MATTER,,,

Was that explosion he’s talking about just the LE mouth blast? I think it’s an attack Tavros. Less of an explosion than it was a beam with boomy results.

VRISKA: Tavros, stop. VRISKA: Just, stop. Right now. I’m already twice over the limit of how much 8ullshit I can take in one day, and your irrit8ing voice is THIS close to giving me a head8che. TAVROS: uHHH,,,? VRISKA: Nope, too l8. Migr8ne city, popul8tion: me! Thanks a 8uttload, 8oy skylark. TAVROS: i,,,iM,,,sORRY,,,? DAVEPETASPRITE^2: B33 < yeah sorry about your head vwhiskers but i gotta interject here DAVEPETASPRITE^2: B33 < furst off your head hurts beclaws it got hit with a deadly fuckin laser pointer

Hahah. Get it? Laser pointer. Because. CAT. And also, holy shit Vriska got HIT with that?? Or was it just an explosion thingy FROM the laser pointer that knocked her out.

DAVEPETASPRITE^2: B33 < so blaming it on tavros f33ls purrty damn rude to me tbh DAVEPETASPRITE^2: B33 < but i dont really wanna get into a catfight with you right now DAVEPETASPRITE^2: B33 < or maybe not ever cause thats just like NOPE no thanks

You’re the best Davepeta. Almost as great as Vriska.

DAVEPETASPRITE^2: B33 < cranky vriska? ill pass on that DAVEPETASPRITE^2: B33 < especially since there are like DAVEPETASPRITE^2: B33 < way more important things to be dealing with! DAVEPETASPRITE^2: B33 < so ill let it slide fur now B33 DAVEPETASPRITE^2: B33 < as you were saying tavros?

So can Davepeta just be Tavros’ wingman? Because holy shit that’d be great. Actually, could this be the beginning of a beautiful PALE ROMANCE?? Probably not because ARquius is totally their soulmate.

TAVROS: wELL,,, tHANK YOU, fOR SPEAKING ON MY BEHALF, eVEN IF IT WASN’T STRICTLY NECESSARY,

It was necessary tavros.

TAVROS: uHHHH,,,

My point exactly.

TAVROS: bIRD NEPETA? TAVROS: oR, wHOEVER YOU ARE, DAVEPETASPRITE^2: B33 < youre half right! DAVEPETASPRITE^2: B33 < its davepeta TAVROS: oH, TAVROS: oKAY, TAVROS: sO,,,dAVEPETA,,, TAVROS: dO YOU THINK IT WAS AN ATTACK OR AN EXPLOSION? DAVEPETASPRITE^2: B33 < tavros DAVEPETASPRITE^2: B33 < are you holding onto your socks because im about to blow them the fuck off DAVEPETASPRITE^2: B33 < i think it was an attack DAVEPETASPRITE^2: B33 < that was ALSO an explosion DAVEPETASPRITE^2: B33 < >B33 TAVROS: }:o

:o MAN, Davepeta you need to chill! I have to go get dressed now, because you just blew my entire OUTFIT off! from shirt to shorts, nothing could withstan the sheer FORCE of your shocking observation.

VRISKA: UGH!!!!!!!!

Shut up Vriska.

Oh. We also got a Porrim back there. And, I guess that’s just Kankri? Maybe the same one, maybe a different? Vriska needs to chill though.

VRISKA: I don’t have TIME for this! VRISKA: Who gives a shit if it was an att8ck or WH8TEVER!!!!!!!! VRISKA: Am I the really only person who c8res about m8king sure the most evil fucker in all of paradox space is FINALLY DE8D FOR GOOD?!?!?!?! VRISKA: Isn’t that what we r8sed an entire army for?? VRISKA: The army that is NOWH8RE TO 8E FOUND, 8Y THE W8Y!!!!!!!!

I think they’re all d e a d Vriska. And you’re assuming way too much of this group of NINCOMPOOPS. They literally are just doing whatever.

MEENAH: vriska VRISKA: WH8T!!!!!!!! MEENAH: you need to krill out for a sec

Exactly. Krill out girl.

VRISKA: NO, *YOU* “KRILL OUT”!!!!!!!! VRISKA: I AM N8T GOING TO KRILL IN A SINGLE FUCKING DIRECTION UNTIL SOME8ODY DECIDES TO OPEN THEIR MOUTH AND FILL ME IN ON WH8T THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED!!!!!!!! MEENAH: the armys gone

Yup. Everybody fucking died via death laser.

FFS CHILL Vriska.

VRISKA: GONE?! VRISKA: No SHIT, they’re GONE! VRISKA: Do YOU see a throng of expenda8le, huddled masses anywh8re near8y, Meenah?? 8ecause if so, NOW WOULD 8E A GR8 TIME TO LET ME KNOW! MEENAH: ...

Calm down Vriska, before you push away the people that AREN’T dead. I mean, who know’s if these guys even care enough to keep working for you anyways. I’d say Meenah’s the last person you should be yelling at.

VRISKA: No?? That’s what I fucking THOUGHT. VRISKA: Th8nk you SO much for that astute o8serv8tion! VRISKA: That sure clears up JACK SQU8T! VRISKA: Now how a8out we get 8ack to the LESS immedi8tly o8vious! VRISKA: Gone WHERE? And more importantly, WHY! MEENAH: listen serks i could really do without the attitide MEENAH: if you took two seconds to breathe you could prolly figure it out yourself MEENAH: but if itll help you clam down...

Exactly, Clam down Vriska. Because it doesn’t take a goddamn genius to figure out they’re all dead.

VRISKA: It DEFIN8TELY will. So spill!!!!!!!! MEENAH: they got blasted VRISKA: Are you serious? VRISKA: He took out EVERYONE? In one hit?! MEENAH: nah not all of em MEENAH: but a lotta double death happened yeah MEENAH: i mean the weapon didnt do flip of what it was SUPPOS-ED to do as far as i could tell MEENAH: it did a pretty good job of sheildin our asses MEENAH: (youre whalecome btw)

Meenah, you’re the true hero here. I mean a calm troll who’s powerful, smart, and only sometimes out of order? I’d say that’s the best kinda troll we can get.

MEENAH: but anybody who didnt get behind it MEENAH: definitely got fried VRISKA: So? Where’s Lord English now?? VRISKA: 8ecause if we need to track him down, we need to get on that like, yesterday!

He isn’t still there? I thought he’d just be doing some angry lord english stuff. Hopefully he isn’t causing too much trouble.......

MEENAH: uh MEENAH: dudes still havin a tantrum over there actually

Oh. I was r i g h t .

VRISKA: Then why the hell are we all the w8y out here?! MEENAH: look vriska MEENAH: the plan didnt work MEENAH: you got KOd or passed out or whatever the shell MEENAH: and the army got gutted MEENAH: so i figured the only sensible fin to do was a tactical retreat VRISKA: Okay, fine. That WAS pretty sensi8le. MEENAH: except MEENAH: most of everyone didnt STOP retreatin MEENAH: no matter what inspirational crab i threw at them VRISKA: .......

Oh.

so there WERE more survivors, but the most’ve them just bailed on the scene. Damn. Well, who can blame them? Double death isn’t for everyone I suppose.

Well ARADIA sure seems happy :D

MEENAH: sorry aboat your head by the way MEENAH: ill admit that was my bad MEENAH: aint easy to haul ass in sand with dead weight over your shoulder

To the people behind ACT OMEGA: You better get me a gif of Meenah dragging Vriska face down through the sand.

ARADIA: hey! ARADIA: at least theres a bright side to all this

Of COURSE there is AA.

Awe. This team charge hug is actually kinda precious. Tavros’ little smile, and Aradia’s “appreciate him!” look.

ARADIA: tavros convinced a few people to stay ARADIA: right? :D

Oh, well that’s good then! So far, I know we have... Tavros, Aradia, Sollux, Kankri, Porrim, Mituna, Feferi, Latula, Vriska, Meenah, Davepeta, and possibly more.

TAVROS: i DID, TAVROS: tHROUGH THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP,

TAVROS: aND A LARGE QUANTITY OF WORDS, sPOKEN DIRECTLY FROM THE HEART, TAVROS: eVEN THOUGH IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER IF ALL OF THEM HAD STAYED, i THINK, TAVROS: tHERE IS A PART OF ME THAT ALSO THOUGHT LEAVING MIGHT HAVE BEEN A GOOD IDEA,,, TAVROS: cONSIDERING, hOW THINGS LOOK PRETTY HOPELESS NOW, TAVROS: bUT THAT PART OF ME IS THE ONE THAT MISSED OUT ON THE COMPLETION, oF MY SUCCESSFUL AND FULFILLING CHARACTER ARC,

He get’s so cocky sometimes, but it’s the kind of cocky where he’s nervous he’s not looking cocky in the right way. What the hell am I typing. I just love how self aware he is.

TAVROS: wHICH IS WHAT THE MAJORITY OF THE REST OF ME IS COMPRISED OF, TAVROS: eSPECIALLY THE PARTS THAT WERE KICKING LORD ENGLISH IN THE FACE, nOT TOO LONG AGO, TAVROS: aND TRUTHFULLY, i AM STILL PRETTY FIRED UP, fROM THAT, TAVROS: sO I IGNORED THE COWARDLY IMPULSE, aND INSTEAD STAYED TO HELP MY FRIENDS, sEE THIS UNDERTAKING THROUGH TO THE END, TAVROS: aND THERE WERE SOME PEOPLE, wHO AGREED WITH ME, TAVROS: wHICH ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE, pRESENTLY,

Goddammit, these people aren’t the brightest. They had to have stayed with him out of pity. If all of your friends are running away, and the only person asking you to stay and fight an unkillable demon was T A V R O S .

You’d run.

Sollux doesn’t wanna be here.

ARADIA: see? sollux and i even stayed to help too ARADIA: in fact were all here to help ARADIA: well maybe some of us are here mostly out of curiosity SOLLUX: 0r b0red0m.

Or pity. Or self-hate. Or a deathwish.

ARADIA: or that too! or maybe even a mishmash of all sorts of motivations ARADIA: but whatever the reason we are on your side ARADIA: so i get the feeling if you dont lighten up a little ARADIA: some of us might suddenly have a lot more of a reason to join the others ARADIA: and find something else to do

Nice way of putting it Aradia. Vriska really needs to Clam down and Krill out, because she’s gonna lose the few she has with her still.

OH SHIT THAT’S THE END OF THE UPDATE. Well then, that’d be my cue to sleep. it’s 2:15 AM an I have summerschool in 5 hours. gnight folks.

Love and some Verses

Title: Love and some Verses Ship: Gamzee Makara ♥ Tavros Nitram, (a ton of) Other Characters & Ships Chapter: 1/? (i’m solely going to post the first one on tumblr) AO3: http://archiveofourown.org/works/10519707/chapters/23220186

Your name is Gamzee Makara and... You look up from your stencil, chewing on your favourite pencil, your dark, hazel eyes annoyed at your black haired friend and her shorter, blonde partner.

"Motherfuck. Rose colored roses. Where's that all up and coming from?"

"Gamz, I think it is pretty obvious where that is coming from," Kanaya replied, giving the girl standing right next to her a heart-warming smile.

The tall woman thrusts her phone in front of your pale skinned face, with a small, slightly pixelated picture of the flowers showing on the screen. Clicking your tongue in annoyance, you grab the phone, leaning back in your worn, creaky chair and study the roses as you just lit up a cigarette. You turn the huge smartphone, trying to zoom in the photograph which only blurs and pixelates even more.

"This picture motherfuckin' sucks. I can't draw anything with this fucking lack of detail," you exclaim, letting out a loud and exasperated sigh.

Kanaya's narrowing her eyes at you, fingers curled up in her green-colored bangs, letting out a sharp breath, "Look. I know it may not be a picture of high quality and I deepy apologize for that, but you will do this for me, Gamzee. I want that rose-tattoo, or else, I may hunt you with a chainsaw."

"Woah, shit. Relax, Kan. I didn’t say I wouldn't. I only said that picture motherfuckin' sucks. I need something with more detail, 's all. God dammit."

"Excellent. You will figure something out, I am sure you will. Rose and I need to go now, though. We have an appointment with the wedding planner, and later we will have dinner with John and Jade," she smiles deviously, rushes to the front door of the tattoo studio and leaves with a short, half-hearted wave.

Rose only following her fiancée in slow steps, "Sorry, Gamz. She is a bit stressed out, lately. The wedding and all. She really meant no offense."

"None taken, Sis, even tho she's a piece of work. Have all the miracles today, okay ?", you smile at her, all forgiving, trying to hide your annoyance.

She smiles back at you, all wide and happy, "Thank you ! .. By the way," she starts, pointing towards the big window in the front of your studio, "There is a small flower-shop across the street, if that's of any interest in that matter," as she was waving good-bye at you and steps out of the door aswell, following her beloved to the car parking infront of the tattoo-studio, and with that, the girlfriends are gone.

Growling in annoyance again and letting out a huge sigh, you lean back in your chair, focusing on the sketch-block again, needing to finish the last details on a tattoo for a client, that was arriving in about an hour. You soon lost focus though, and began to stare through the big window absent-mindedly, wondering if the flower shop could provide Kanya's flowers. A real one would be perfect, for detail and every possible angle. Any rose would do, but a rose-colored one would be ideal. How expensive would flowers even be ? Now you would have to pay for a flower, only to design one of your godly tattoos for one of your best friends, you wouldn't get paid for. That definitely would have to count as your wedding present ! At least you hopes it does. Rubbing your black curls, you shake your head violently, needing to push the new tattoo idea away. You need to finish up the current project on the paper in front of you, the piece bigger than average by far, meant as full sleve-tattoo just like you got one yourself. Just yours is more gorgeous by far. This piece is going to consume your time for the rest of the day until closing time, assuming that the client could handle a long session with no need to cancel it early on. (The doubt is on your side with this one though.)

But only then, maybe tomorrow, you could go and check out the flower store for said motherfucking flower.

Your name is Tavros Nitram and you are ready for the day. You entered the small store early this day, the air that's smelling like rainbows fills your lungs immediately and pulls a small smile from your lips. You do love your work at the store. You love the scent, and you love the colors, and you just really like flowers. You usually only works part-time, but since you're currently on your semester break, you switched to full-time for the rest of vacation. You always liked mother nature in all it's ways, that's why you decided to go to university to become a veterinarian in the first place, and thus you really enjoyed every day you were working in the little flower-shop.

You could also use the additional money, a students life ain't a cheap one, granted. You turn on the lights and prepare to open up the store within the next hour with a big yawn.

You were tired. You had talked with one of your best friends on the phone for too long last night, the older and taller one trying to convince you to join him going to some weird convention about robotics, again. The last time wasn't all too great already. There were some things that definitely were cool. But overall, you were just bored, sighted in annoyance and greatly disliked the hole convention, not really being into technology. Everything that's beyond a TV, a smartphone, a laptop and maybe a gaming-console exceeds itself from your comprehension. You had a hard time talking yourself out of that trip, but in the end you could convince him to take Nepeta with him instead. She was his number one best friend - even though the age-gap between them was ridiculous, him being 30 and her being 19 - but you wouldn't judge. Friendship knows no age, after all. She also was more into his technology-stuff than you were, more into any of his stuff to be honest. You two had very different opinions in general, and even though you disliked when you and your friends (general speaking!) disagreed on things, it happened more often than not. Shaking your head, forcing the thoughts of Equius away, you went to put your stuff away behind the counter and grabbed your bright orange apron, pulling it over your head, always cautious not to ruin your dark-brown mohawk. Keeping it in place took a lot of effort - and hairspray - and you wouldn't like it if you ruined it by accident.

You decided to start to refill your water sprayer and your watering can, first. Then you gradually worked around the shop, moving from one plant to the next. You let your strong, long fingers gently caress the flower petals of each pot, smiling and whispering to them, humming them sweet little melodies as you groomed and watered them sufficiently. You knew you looked kinda out of place. You were tall and dark-skinned, muscled, had broad shoulders and big hands, your body not really built for being a florist - with all those fragile pots and plants, but you loved everything about the place and you couldn't help but smile and just feel happy, as off as it may sound.

You already started working at the flower shop 10 years ago, when your were only 15, to make some extra pocket money. Your dad tried to provide you what you needed, but you were out with your friends a lot, and your appetite was huge. You felt bad at taking your dad's hard earned money so casually. You had a black hole in your stomach, after all, that's what all your friends used to say, anyway. You took double, or even triple the amount they would get. But you were atheletic ever since, and sports just makes you hungry. Instead of eating less, because why would you pffff, you had decided to find a job, work a little and eat just the same as ever, a win-win situation. You had just accidentally got your job in the little shop when you were walking by one day and grabbed a heavy pot from the oldish owner as he had nearly dropped it. You had helped him out for a few hours, had a very nice and comforting chat and in the end, he offered you the part-time job and you gladly accepted upon thanking the old guy. After that it had all gone downhill as you had realized you truly loved taking care of all the colorful, little plants at the shop, your mind absorbing the different types of flowers and the care they required pretty quickly, something that barely ever happened in school, even though you have been interested in biology before. (You still tried to do good with all your grades, your goal was to become a veterinarian ever since your were a little kid.) As the owner of the shop passed away - shortly after you entered university - and his daughter Terezi started to run the buisness, she decided that she would gladly keep you as her florist since you were a great help and knew everything that needed to be done. You helped her run the place ever since, you two became good friends even and now, with the hard work from the both of you, your shop was rated the top privately owned flower shop in the whole city. You two were pretty damn proud, even though you didn't own the place. It was a good feeling that all your efforts showed great results.

After you are done watering all the plants, you open the register, checking through orders and deliveries for the day. You suddenly hear a light knock on the glass door. You check your watch and frown, the shop not opening for another 25 minutes. Normally, you would refuse to open, but as the knocking came harder and louder, you were actually starting to worry whoever was there was going to crack the glass. What if someone was in need of actual help .. ? Sighing in annoyance you walk around the counter, head to the front door, unlocking and pulling it open.

"Uh..Good morning ? Can I help you ?"

Alright let me pull out my diagrams and other bullshit here to try and explain this simply

Universe 1:

It all starts and ends with John Egbert, a guy whose greatest achievement was putting out a planetwide fire by manipulating the wind, as well as saving everyone through weird retcon shenanigans.

Next we have Rose Lalonde, a girl whose greatest achievement was invoking the powers of the elder gods to *nearly* destroy their greatest threat (at the time), as well as helping Dave Strider create the green sun.

And next again we have Dave Strider, a dude whose greatest achievement was destroying the economy of a planet filled with dumb crocodiles using time loops and that kind of bullshit, as well as creating the power source for most life in all universes, the green sun.

And lastly (for now) we have Jade Harley, a girl whose greatest achievement was to shrink down five planets to fit in her pockets, as well as breeding a frog that creates universes with each croak.

Universe 2:

Here we start with Jane Crocker, heiress apparent to the betty crocker baking goods empire, her greatest achievement was probably when she took over the entirety of earth once, even if she went evil in the process

We then continue with Jake English/Harley, a man living alone on an island filled with monsters in the late 1900’s, his greatest achievement was defeating 10 idiots with green skin (and time powers) using two incredibly weak guns

Even further in here we have Roxy Lalonde, who lives on a pontoon city with some ”carapacians” (people, but with white or black shells instead of skin), her greatest achievement was probably when she killed the next to most powerful bad guy in the universe

And lastly in this universe we have Dirk Strider, he lives alone in an apartment in the middle of the sea, his greatest achievement was the one time he literally became god

And now for the worst part, the ”trolls”

I’m not gonna go in any particular order here because that’s just annoying.

First we have Karkat Vantas, he lives with a mutant crab monster, and his greatest achievement was leading a giant rebellion against Jane Crocker when she took over earth that one time

Next we have Sollux Captor, he lives in an apartment complex and likes computers, his greatest achievement was getting the code for a game out of some ancient stone tablets found in a temple

Next we have Aradia Megido, a ghost girl who later becomes a robot, that even later explodes when she ascends to godhood and is suddenly alive again, that’s also her greatest achievement

Next again we have Tavros Nitram, a wheelchair using guy who was crippled by Vriska, his greatest achievement happened after he died, so it barely counts, but he got a giant ghost army together to fight the worst bad guy in the universe

Next again we have Vriska Serket, a spidery bitch who kinda loves/hates Tavros, but then she kills him so she doesn’t have to worry about him, but then she also dies, and shit goes south real fast, her crowning achievement was probably killing the black king, or summoning the four heroes destined to murder the big bad guy

Even further we have Equius Zahhak, he is barely ever relevant, though he built Aradias later robot body, and helped tavros by building him some robot legs so he could walk again, his greatest achievement was when he actually managed to fire a bow for once in his life

Then we have Nepeta Leijon, if you couldn’t already tell, this girl has a lot to do with cats, she lives in a cave, and is best friends with Equius, she also has a thing for Karkat, but he does not reciprocate, her greatest achievement was becoming DavePetaSprite^2, which i am not going to explain

Now we have Feferi Peixes, a fish girl who is always stupidly optimistic, and she’s obsessed with helping people, most people don’t really know much about her, her greatest achievement was probably in being successful in making Eridan understand she doesn’t like him

Then we have Kanaya Maryam, she is a weird one to say the least, she’s a vampire, and the most human in personality and looks, most other trolls think she’s weird, her greatest achievement was sawing Eridan in half after he destroyed their last hope

Our next troll, Terezi Pyrope, who is blind, but can still kind of see using her senses of smell, taste and touch, is also weird, her greatest achievement was helping John retcon a bunch of stuff with his powers so they could win the game, she was the one who killed Vriska

Now for the worst two trolls in history, starting with everyones problematic fave, Gamzee Makara, an insane clown who acts all chill until they’re all clumped together on a meteor, he killed Equius and Nepeta, his greatest achievement was successfully raising the biggest bad guy in the entire universe as a child

And now for Eridan Ampora, the other fish troll, a despicable person who tries to hit on anything that moves, he killed Feferi and almost killed Kanaya, his greatest achievement was probably killing all of those angels on his planet

Okay, i’m fucking done explaining this for the rest of my miserable life, i hate myself for even taking the time to do it

This popped into my head the other night. Does anyone recognize it as a quote or did I actually make this up?

‘The moon steals light from the sun and no one gets those two mixed up’

(( alien relationships sure are weird

tagging: @bluejaywalks @roseredmutant @9racles

begin log:

aberrantcadenza Also... I'm realizing I need to be upfront with you. With... you know, everything. There's some stuff you don't know that you should.

bluejaywalks I find that happens a lot in my life. I'm good with upfront, though.

aberrantcadenza Okay. So um. I don't know how much you know about trolls, and I know very little about humans, so forgive me for rehashing information you already know/that is normal to you, etc etc. Trolls, as you probably know from what Lil said, have multiple partners. Most of the humans I've met (six, counting you, and two face-to-face) have talked about other humans as if they only had one partner. Most trolls have one partner in each quadrant. I'm... not most trolls.

bluejaywalks Not to make a joke out of this, but it sounds like you're about to confess that you have a harem.

aberrantcadenza Pff. No, no. I'm basically a mess and I do things that could get me killed on plenty of iterations of my home planet, maybe even my own. We were already slated to die from the beginning so it didn't really matter. Um... the specifics of that are fuzzy and I'm blaming the disjointed nature of this on blood loss. I have four partners, but only one of them actually "fits" a quadrant. That's Nepeta, my moirail.

bluejaywalks So you're a nightmare to any friendly alien looking to learn the specifics of romance for your culture.

aberrantcadenza Exactly. Or just a nightmare in general, you know.

bluejaywalks Quick sidenote: blood loss?

aberrantcadenza Uh. Yeah. One of my partners is a rainbow drinker.

bluejaywalks That might need some elaboration, but if it takes away from the current topic, it can wait.

aberrantcadenza Actually, this might be a segue that helps the conversation. What needs elabpurration?

bluejaywalks Rainbow drinker. Fancy name, don't know how literal I should take it.

aberrantcadenza Yes. :?? Well I know they're creatures of legend, but it shouldn't be too much of a stretch to think they might be real? Knowing that gods and all exist...

bluejaywalks Context clues: different blood colors, you seem to be fine after blood loss, I haven't seen the scope of all the colors but I take it there's a spectrum... rainbow, as in, blood. Your partner is some kind of alien vampire. Creature of legends lends more points to that. Did I hit the mark?

aberrantcadenza :00 You don't call them that?

bluejaywalks Humans only bleed red so there's not much of a rainbow to drink.

aberrantcadenza Ohhh. Well. Yeah, my partner is "some kind of alien vampire." His name is Kan. He's actually the most relevant of my partners to this conversation, so... it works. Before I figured out how much of a mess I really was, Kan and I tried for pitch. Kismeses, as it were. And then I realized I quadsmear way too much to be comfortable for any quadrant-abiding troll and we ended up having a more... fluid, less defined relationship. We talked about having elements of rivalry in our relationship still. It never really happened.

bluejaywalks And this is how I factor in, with my clear intentions with this whole pitch thing.

aberrantcadenza Yeah. Kan's recently expressed more interest in leaning pitch with me. Truthfully the conversation was sparked by me asking him to talk to me about his jealousy, because I encourage communication with my partners always. He's also expressed that he wants pitch things to stay between him and me. I told him "if it works."

bluejaywalks So I may be barking up the wrong tree if things work out between you and him.

aberrantcadenza Yeah... although that's still an if. However... you deserve to be kept in the loop.

bluejaywalks And I appreciate that. I don't get that luxury often over here.

aberrantcadenza You're welcome to ask me anything, okay? I can't promise I'll know the answer if it's a fact question, but I'll answer to the best of my ability, or direct you to someone who can. I wasn't lying when I expressed interest in you. You seem like a great guy. You're fun, you're full of energy, I like verbally sparring with you and you made me think maybe I'm a little less hopeless at pitch than I thought. So... yeah. If I can do anything for you, all you need to do is ask.

bluejaywalks I do want to say, I'm not going to suddenly stop talking to you, or anything of that sort, if you two do work out, pitch-wise. You're fun to talk to and poke at, you're attractive, I'm very interested, but I realize there is no doubt a strong need for a physical presence with this that I unfortunately don't have the upperhand with right now. If someone beats me to it, I'm more than okay with staying friends. And annoying you with really bad puns and my face.

aberrantcadenza ... Thank you. That means a lot to me.

bluejaywalks I'll be sure to keep all this in mind. I like learning about your culture and you.

aberrantcadenza X33 And likewise. You're a really interesting guy.

bluejaywalks Me, again, casually flexing in the back.

aberrantcadenza And a nerd.

bluejaywalks The Nerd.

aberrantcadenza Thank you for being so open with this. I know it's purrobably overwhelming and really weird, your willingness to learn and adapt is a huge help.

bluejaywalks It's very weird, but I wouldn't say overwhelming. Nothing interesting can be overwhelming.

aberrantcadenza X33 Well if this is intpurresting for you, then, I'll take that as a good sign.

Homestuck^2 - Catnapped (Part 1) Reaction

Alright, we're officially a patron of Homestuck now! :D

Actually had to create a Patreon account for this, never before really needed it for anything.

But Homestuck? That's definitely something I want to be a patron for. Homestuck is very dear to me and has shaped a significant part of my life, and such a huge chunk of it has been for free, so it feels like the least I can do.

Plus, we get bonus updates to enjoy! :D

Let's start by reading Catnapped.

Looking at the news posts section of Homestuck^2, that suggests this story will be taking place at Meat Jane's inauguration as President!

That already narrows down the possibilities for which cat or cat person this could be dealing with. Davepeta isn't around in this timeline, Roxy's off in outer space, no ghost rain to have a Doomed Nepeta or Meulin show up. Assuming we'll be dealing with a cat character we already know... that just leaves Jasprosesprite^2 and Gcatavrosprite?

It's curious how the Epilogues and Homestuck^2 have been entirely avoiding the matter of where the Sprites are, other than Davepeta.

We know they did arrive on Earth C though, because we saw the Nannasprites and Gcatavrosprite during the Credits snaps, as well as Jasprosesprite^2 during the Halloween snaps.

So what's the deal? Are they still alive 7 years later, or was their timespan limited and they did die shortly after?

Well, we might just be about to find out...

I'm very curious!

Page 1:

The White House! Or uh, Earth C's own White House at least. Seeing as the original White House is in ruins somewhere, as we saw during the Candy Epilogue, haha.

Yeah... it's so weird to think how Jane and Jake are the only ones left on Meat Earth C of the creators. Everyone else has left into outer space.

This is one of the main reasons I think the Sprites might show up during this Epilogue. Or else this story might have to come up with a BUNCH of new original characters. :P

It's curious that apparently the people of this planet don't know that its creators have left? Haven't they noticed their absence?

I guess it depends on just how long this is taking place after they all left.

I'm also insanely curious where THIS Jane's development will go. If anything, having her as president could set her on a really dark path... but that's already been explored by the Candy path.

So is this version of Jane going to turn out far better, somehow? Despite none of her friends (other than Jake) being present here?

Page 2:

OH SHIT.

Dirk????

Err, Brain Ghost Dirk I assume, then? Seeing as the other Dirk is uh, off into outer space.

That's pretty hilarious that in the Candy timeline he took MORE THAN TWO DECADES before he showed himself again, and then, here he is already in the Meat timeline. xD

Page 3:

Pfff, Jake's already got a moustache here! It WAS mentioned before that Dirk didn't let Jake grow a moustache, so seems like it didn't take long at all once Dirk left, haha. :D

Page 4:

Brain ghost daughter. xD

Can you imagine Jake creating brain ghost versions of all his friends, hehe.

Page 5:

Yeah, looks like Jake's developing the same kind of issues as his Candy self. Except, he might do something about them far sooner, now that Brain Ghost Dirk has already showed up so early? :O

Maybe Brain Ghost Dirk will here as well try to have Jake see that what Jane is doing (or will be doing) is wrong, but that Jane isn't so far gone yet and can still correct herself before it's too late?

That would be good. I mean, what's the alternative? In Candy we had Karkat and the others fighting for the rights of the Trolls, who'd be doing it here?

I'm very, very curious where this is going...

Page 6:

Ooooh, I really like how aware this Jake already is of the mess they're getting into.

Page 7:

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, JASPROSE IS HERE, READY TO FUCK SOME SHIT UP

HELL YEAH

Didn't expect the inauguration to be interrupted, but here we are!

Oh man, this is going off the rails REAL quick.

Pfff, I love how her eyes are in her glasses, like that joke with Jake back in [S] Prince of Heart: Rise Up.

I don't want to get my hopes TOO far up, but it would be cool if other sprites show up too, not just Jasprose.

I mean... assuming this catnap powder is coming from her, BUT WHO ELSE COULD IT BE. XD

Page 8:

Hopy shit! So we're not directly seeing what happened next, but reading it.

Lots of interesting tidbits in here!

The date! 20th January 2021. Looks like they're using a similar calendar to ours, hahaha. And that even places the date perfectly for the current ages of our Creators.

So JANE was "catnapped". It wasn't a cat which got kidnapped, it's a cat who kidnapped someone! xD

Barack Obama Memorial White House, oh dear god. That's amazing. The question is, does it serve as an White House for the actual president, or is it really just a memorial?

And Jane's the 21st president! Looks like they haven't been doing it as long as the real United States have.

So that Troll sitting next to Jake wasn't just a random guy, it was the freaking Vice President! But that's really cool. If Jane doesn't show up for actual presidency anymore, than this guy will probably doing the entire presidency.

And he's a Troll! So, this might be really good news for all Trolls on this planet???

Looks like the world has now learned about the disappearance of the Creators. "Multiple"? Let's say, ALL OF THEM. Jake's the only one accounted for anymore (from the perspective of the inhabitants), holy shit.

"No Creators were available to comment" yeah no shit. xD

Oh MAN, abundantChewtoys got a really good point here. WV created a pact to unite the four kingdoms, just like Problem Sleuth did. Holy CRAP. That's genius.

I wonder how exactly that went then, what did that pact mean? Were all kingdoms led by separate leaders but who had this pact so there'd be no conflicts between them, and then eventually they introduced the presidency to have one leader for all kingdoms to listen to?

Anyway, this is already a VERY intriguing start to this side-story, and I’m very curious to see what the next 2 parts will be showing us.
