#dayvhe's broken diamonds club

[dandybambiandy]

Look.. they may not be the focus of Unda's fics but I'm always very excited to see them so i had to draw them specifically

Hal, my precious asshole son, gets a special bonus for seeing his AU wings in full cuz i went outta my way to draw them i want them to be looked at lol

The pale confession scene from early in Dayvhe’s Broken Diamond Club, aaaaaah! Sweep that boy off his feet! Right into a pile, that is~🤍♦️🤍♦️🤍

I had fun drawing this one, and even put some effort into making it look nice.

Coming in at just about 4,000 words and strong contender for top 5 dumbest things I've exerted intellectual effort on over the course of multiple days, I've just written an essay that thoroughly explains all the Homestuck quadrants both in canon's terms and in the terms of my favorite fics, as well as explaining why I think the fics did it better.

While it's written mainly from the perspective of critiquing the initial quadrant exposition in canon, it does thoroughly explain multiple perspectives on each quadrant, so it could possibly help someone who doesn't get quadrants so long as that person also doesn't mind reading really wordy, long paragraphs that keep referencing characters and stories they aren't familiar with. If you know anyone like that, share this with them and let me know how it goes I guess, LMAO

i’m so fucking obsessed with dayvhe’s broken diamond club(author: unda) it’s long as all hell (i haven’t finished, only about 15-16 chapters in) but i’m FUCKING. ADDICTED. the SOLDAVE!! they care so much about each other it’s GROSS! the ashen(awshen!) soldavekat is equally mushy. the fucking TRAUMA!! all of the characters are written loyal to their comic selves, even the world building is incredibly canon compliant, not that i usually care. normally i can be kinda picky with trollstuck but unda is doing this shit RIGHT! i’m so excited to read some of their other works when i finish this one <>

Dayvhe's broken diamond club is great, btw

[rose-icosahedron]

i need to get reference poses for an animatic im drawing, and its basically one guy giving a villain speech and threatening another guy.

which like seems simple, but a problem I am having is that a lot of the reference i can find is to homoromantic, or even just plain romantic.

this is a immortal centuries old guy who acts and looks like he's middle aged threatening a teenager who is 2 heads shorter than him! they are not going to kiss!

(if anyone knows somewhere to get good reference for this let me know, before i start taking pictures of myself looming threateningly over my phone.)

Those of you who have the misfortune of following my shit ass blog, i apologize for all the homestuck shit, its taken over my life and now ao3 is down and i can no longer read Dayvhe’s broken diamond club or whatever its called and now im sad and idk what to do now

Summary: Dirk has a plan, when he's 18 he's going to take Dave and get him the fuck out of their terrible lives and start over. Until then being the barrier between Dave and Bro is his only job, his soulmate is just going to have to wait goddamnit. Dave has a plan, it involves getting internet famous and not going gay, easy right? Karkat also has a plan, to repeatedly track down his dumb as rocks soulmate and get him to actually talk to him for fuck's sake.

Note from submitter: Ok i'm the same person that submitted dayvhe's broken diamond club but i read THIS one first and it changed my brain chemistry for the rest of my life, as most of Unda's fics tend to do tbh they're very good and if you like homestuck you're Required To Read them

[chrisrin]

YOU. WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME. I FINISHED ALTERNATE UNIVERSE. Im not exaggerating when I say its probably the best fic ive ever read. Actually crying rn (/pos). I need more of them NOW!!! Please please please i am so desperate for more what is another amazing davesolkat unda fic i can read to distract me from the pain of ending this one

oh you have SO many choices. the other three big ones are m.c. escher that's my favorite mc, dayvhe's broken diamond club, and your words destroyed my planet.

if you're more in the mood for a davekat focus, go with mc escher. if you want a davesol focus with darker tones, go with dbdc. if you want a mix of everything (with a VERY VERY SLOW BURN), go with ywdmp.

ywdmp is the only one here that isn't finished (and it's on somewhat of a mini hiatus, hasn't been updated in a couple months) so just be warned.

[dandybambiandy]

uhh uhh more @unda-dsk fic sketches to pass the time

(also, the 'First Impression' Dirkka below the cut for your viewing pleasure)

More fanfic fanart for Unda’s DBDC, featuring some tasty Davesol!

It’s really fun to draw pale intimacy, I love the shallow kisses and tender hugs, oh maaaan it’s so stinkin cute!!! I could draw snaggletoothed kisses all day, sighhh ♦️🤍♦️🤍

Ah Dayvhe, the master of subtle pale come-ons. Surely this white diamond cake won’t arouse any suspicions! Just a cake for a good bro, nothing sus here!

[a-risk-to-take]

It’s me. I’m target audience!

an observation for a very small target audience

[I.D.: an MS paint venn diagram. in the left circle, teal text says "The Adventure Zone: Balance by the McElroy Family". in the right circle, red text says "Dayvhe's Broken Diamond Club by Unda". the overlap in the middle says, "An epic, mind-blowingly well-told tale of three idiots and their many friends who start off just kinda fucking around but end up saving the universe all while having the (im)maturest sense of humor ever, as told in EXACTLY 69 parts." the last three words are in red for emphasis. end I.D.]

….you posted your tattoo (sick) and linked to house of dirk and i read it all and its unfinished. if you hadn’t posted i may have lived my life without getting fanfic blue balled for the first time since 2015. if you have any sympathy for my loss you would give me fanfic recs >:[ /lh

I feel your pain believe me 😭😭 I’m sorry I didn’t warn you at least. I’m low-key hoping the tattoo image gets to imarriedacherub and inspires them to continue the story - obviously not likely but it’s nice to dream!

I got recs for you though! I’ve got hundreds of bookmarks on my ao3 but here’s the HS stuff I love the most:

The epics:

Dayvhe’s Broken Diamond Club and everything by @unda-dsk: DBDC is my personal fave of theirs, and the best treatment of troll culture in any fic ever. If you know HS fic you are probably aware of MC Escher That’s My Favorite MC, and that one is absolutely excellent and completely deserves its status as one of the very best. And then there’s Alternate Universe, which is a perfect and beautiful magic school story. All of these are absolutely top-tier - I cannot stress this enough. They are epic and very long but some of the best stuff I’ve ever read—fanfic or otherwise—and they changed me when I read them. Despite the length, DBDC is very episodic so you can read each chapter as its own story and easily take breaks in between them without losing the flow, so you might want to start there. I promise it’s worth it!!

so we don’t kill the ones we love by @callmearcturus: I’ve never read anyone who can create an atmosphere like Arc can - this one is kind of a John Wick AU but in a really refreshing and elevated way. The characterization is so on point. Lots more I could rave about but I’ll just add that Arc’s Karkats are the hottest and most based out there. Again all his stuff is really good - this one is my favorite, but don’t miss this really cool magic artisan AU also.

The meteorstucks:

Aahhh there’s no way this is gonna be complete because I’ve read like hundreds and I get them confused but these are some that stand out. In case you haven’t notice already this list is gonna be very davekat centric!

Keep It Down by sburbanite - chef’s kiss concept and execution just read it

A Xenological Exploration of Music and Language by superbloom - super fun and well written with neat headcanon - and turned me on to some great music

I’m actually gonna just declare this section unfinished for now - I need to revisit these and remind myself what’s what - stay tuned!

Since you liked HoD you might be looking for more comic-y stuff with art. Definitely check out @chthonicarcher’s amazing davekats! Such as That’s All We Are

Dream a Little Dream of Me by koroke - this is just a little dream bubble comic but it’s simply the loveliest and I’m massively envious of the art style

Gonna Need Some Windex by the End of the Year by magniloquentChanteuse - more artistic storytelling just neat!

More

It’s About Time by @laurasauras - this is a sweet cute lovely little time travel davekat that I actually sent to a friend to read who knew nothing about HS and successfully led them into the fandom. (Followed by AU by Unda). Laurasauras is prolific and there are so many great fics written by them I can’t list them all here but they are one of my absolute favorite authors. Their understanding of the strider psyche is absolutely impeccable

The Worst Goddamn Movies Ever Fucking Made by writerbot - this fic brought me so much hilarity and joy I can’t even tell you. The Karkat voice is perfect and delightful and the social media interludes are so fucking funny and impressive. One of the first fics to show me how creative and funny this fandom can be.

I’m surely going to add to this - there are so many more meteorstucks and other authors I know I’ll think of after I post this - but I don’t want to spend too much longer on this now when you could be reading some of this great stuff! ENJOY!!
