The Skaian Pantheon (official promo post)

What if, after they achieved their victory, the kids decided not to skip forward five thousand years?

Not a very original concept on its own (I know that now) but let me put it another way: What if they embraced their roles as gods, terrifying though it might be?

What if, at the end of the old worlds and the beginning of a new one, there was a single city, and three species to inhabit it? What if the unique burdens of a race created to start civilizations were explored? What if there were fourteen survivors, all young adults struggling with terrible responsibility and traumatic events? What if they leaned on one another for support?

You get a timeline specifically catered to me, is what. Apparently other people enjoy it too, if you're inclined to give it a read.

With the Year Ending, I Just Wanted to Remind Y'all I've Kept Writing the Skaian Pantheon

and that since i started in march, I've reached over 200,000 words! I'm going to write this forever, so hopefully one day I'll breach one million!

For those not among the unfortunately select few not to have heard of this, the Skaian Pantheon is my self-indulgent Homestuck fan project - an anthology series with every (hopefully) self-contained story set in the same timeline, with a deceptively simple premise:

Instead of skipping forward five thousands years and forcing their creations to form civilization without them, the young gods accept the responsibility that has been handed to them, and settle together in the same first city founded by their carapacian followers to assist in the building of a new world. These are the many little stories that make up that grand journey.

Please, check it out. It's very detailed, loaded with worldbuilding and speculative biology and just oh-so-juicy angst and hurt/comfort. This is quite possibly the best thing i've ever written. God, that's sad. But you know what would be even sadder? if i got to one million words without ever going semi-viral. I beg of you, homestuck fans, to make my life worthwhile.

here's some of the art i have made to go with a few of the stories under the cut, in case it piques your interest:

Included in what I'm told is my best work, John Is Fine:

A couple sneak peeks at future updates! ;)

and some fanart i've made of my own timeline, bc i have brainrot

In conclusion, pls read? 🥺

The Skaian Pantheon Fanfiction Updates

So. Here's how this is going to work.

I'm making this to keep myself accountable to write at an acceptable pace, because if people can see it, that means I have incentive to write every day. Even if there are, like, two people that care. This'll help me. If you don't care about my homestuck fanfiction, feel free to ignore this post, or block the tag: #Skaian Pantheon Upd8

So, for every new fic I start, I'll begin a new reblog chain from this post, detailing the chapter numbers, word counts, and when I've published. I've made it a rule to only start publishing chapters when I'm halfway through a fic, and only publish a chapter if the one following is finished. I have a wordcount goal for each chapter as a minimum before it can be counted as finished. I'll detail how it's tailored for each story in its reblog chain.

I'm going to be updating these every day. I write 2-3 fics at a time, meaning I'll be reblogging at least one thread. Hope that makes sense.

Here we go:

Luna's Sandbox Earth C has been renamed

my Sandbox's provisional name is no more - behold:

Its more epic than it deserves, but I'm glad that I don't have to keep calling it something so clunky ♥️🪷

[myusernameisstolen]

Have my special ship for 413!!!!!

(Karkat's wearing a shirt that's like Dave's, and a little string for Calliope, because I ship CherryLimeTime as my ot3)

[myusernameisstolen]

Finished a Skaian Pantheon oneshot in time for 413!!!!!! It's a fun romp with a saturday morning cartoon villains, but more violence and wish-fulfilling power fantasy - our heroes, having won against universe-spanning threats, prove that they thoroughly outclass any motherfucker who wants to mess with their planet. 😤

[myusernameisstolen]

have some terrible fanart:

Sandbox Earth C has expanded

Hey y’all. It’s your favorite gremlin.

And the recent shit is below! Karkat may be done Fucking Around, but I’m not done Finding Out. This AU will eclipse the sun one day, I swear to gog.

Here’s a fic about John, ten years after they landed:

And heres an anthology series about the carapacians living in the City:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/45529936/chapters/114564508

check it, meowtherfuckers. >:33 our boi John is dying.

I could be working on my story and its characters

I could be working on the Skaian Pantheon AU I got cookin

I could be shopping my stories around for a long term illustrator to help motivate me

I could be working on my original content of Star Void

I could be working on lil self contained stories

I could be planting seeds of creative juices in others via messaging

I could be sending words of encouragement to artists who need it, because I know what its like to put a ton of effort into your hobby and have your talent go unrecognized, and a few nice words out of nowhere can help a lot

Or I could just play a video game, because being productive is heavily overrated

[myusernameisstolen]
