Also the lineless art I made for Kanaya and godtier Nepeta was so good that I saved them, the rest were eh so they were sent to the *v o i d*

How long have these OCs been around? Did they exist before the 2020 comic or did it pop into your mind just then???

Oh no they were made LONG before I even had the idea of making a fan adventure, honestly I don't even think I knew fan adventures existed when I made them. The main 6 were made (as far as I know it's hard to place when I didn���t date any of my old old sketchbooks) when I was 13 so they are a decade old now. The first image I posted here that had any of them was in 2016 so I would have been 16 then. In 8th grade though I remember actually getting into fantrolls cuz I made a lil mache statue of the first version of Dextra (the weird sona with the purple hair and clock horns) in my art class and I remember drawing her with the very first versions of my characters at some point during that time. Now I know the main 6 came a few months before her and in the OG sketchbook that lines up cuz her first version appeared like 20 pages after they did. I was 12/13 in 8th grade so that's like the only way I can really “pinpoint” when they were made really. I do still have the sketchbook I first drew them in as well I just don't have it dated cuz what 12/13 year old remembers to date their sketchbooks lol 

There's something fun for you, those are all the first drawings I could find of each of them VS the ones I did in senior year of collage with their fancy godtiers, vast amount of development and improvement over a decade.

HI <3 polite invitation to talk about your godtier and land thoughts for your characters if you want to!! i am sitting and listening intently :3 <3

Oh my god asfdgdgifgdb you don't know what you've done,,,,,

Long post incoming!!

So quick plug of an old blog that established a lot of my HS godtier opinions early on dahniwitchoflight so you can see a lot of where my context originates (esp. the godtier aspect masterpost) but with that out the way here we go

In terms of godtier opinions, I don't believe in gendered classes. I think that, socially, there may be a bias certain genders may have to certain classes (Muse and Lord, for example). But I don't believe that's an absolute. For one, there are more genders than the binary and people don't always identify as one forever. Secondly, I think to say that, for example, Lord is always aggressive and therefore only men can be Lords is uhhhhhhh,,, very stereotypical and simply doesn't encapsulate the range of human expression. Besides, isn't it more fun for the classes to be non-gendered using gendered human words? Who's to say the game mechanics of SBURB/sgrub are in english? There's gotta be some kind of translation errors or approximations going on in lore lmao

Related to this is that a godtier is meant to be a culmination of a character arc, the end reward of the 'ideal self' a character can be. This is not referring to 'ultimate' selves (i sincerely don't want to touch that concept at all) or even 'morally correct' selves - merely the best kind of self a character would want to be. The best you that you wanna be! Whether that means embracing your flaws or overcoming them, the godtier is the symbol of your growth as a person. Hence why to 'go godtier' you have to fuse your dreamself and awake self together, finally bringing together the two separate experiences you've lived as a player before this; your 'normal' life and your SBURB life. This also follows why death is a consistent theme and in fact needed for godtier ascension. You are killing or accepting the death of your former self in order to ascend into your new self, via combining everything you've learned into everything you'll be. It's supposed to be a positive, if traumatic, experience. Like changing and growing in life already is! Just faster lol

On a brief design point, I do think godtier outfits should also therefore change to fit the wearer and what they're comfortable with. I don't necessarily think that it should be like, witch skirt for girls but trousers for boys, I think that if a godtier outfit is your ideal self it should automatically change into whatever you'd be comfortable wearing. So if someone is a Witch, but doesn't mind wearing a skirt, then they'd ascend into the default Witch outfit. If they then wanted to change it they could through a thought. But if a Witch ascends and they hate skirts or maybe just cannot imagine wearing one then maybe it changes into shorts or something lol. I've actually done some alternate designs of godtiers along this line as it happens which you'll see in this post.

I also like the Aspect counterparts, that each one has an opposite, and while in canon that doesn't have much of an effect on the godtier design beyond the kids, I actually like the accessories and shoes on godtiers taking on the colours of their opposite Aspect. I like that it symbolises that even their opposite has an affect on the Aspect in question.

Now, this is all some lovely prose but what am I going on about? So, like all great and real scientists, I'll use myself as an example first.

...

Me - Sylph of Heart

So I've gone through many, many iterations of godtier introspection (started in Hope, have moved to Heart, Sylph has stayed pretty consistent but I still have doubts) and, of course, being a real life person this is the one that's evolved and changed the most as I have evolved and changed throughout my teens and adult life. But for the sake of analysis, I'll give my 'sona' or 'self-insert' the godtier to separate myself from the analysis and come at this more honestly.

Heart as an Aspect is all about Emotion and the Soul. As the opposite counterpart to the Aspect Mind (which is concerned with the brain, reason and, y'know, the mind lol), Heart players are more impulsive and driven by personal goals. It's all about the Inner Self, the Individual, what makes You Unique as opposed to everyone else in the world. It's Passion, it's Empathy, it's Understanding - about people, mostly. It's about Knowing Yourself and what you like or dislike. Your Heart, in a lot of ways, is the emotional centre and Heart players follow it to a T - and often to the detriment of everything else. It's not inaccurate to say Heart players come across as self-obsessed b/c they are concerned with discovering themselves and their own identity. None of these things come without drawbacks of course and none of this means Heart players don't care about others. They simply assume everyone else is just as obsessed with Finding themselves as they are. I mean, at their best, Heart players are compassionate, imaginative and a steady presence in life. But, uh, at their worst they can come across as dismissive, rigid or nosy lol Personally, as someone very driven by emotion and with a tendancy for introspection, to the point of contantly overthinking my feelings and second guessing my impulses, I feel comfortable in the Heart Aspect.

So Sylphs are talkers. Chatterboxes you could say. They're also one of two 'healer' classes and the active counterpart to Maid. Which yeah I'm aware I have a tendency to ramble. Sylphs are known to love talking about their interests to an audience, whether the audience is interested or not lmao. For a Sylph of Heart, that's mostly concentrated into the subject of Love and Relationships. Sylphs are also nosy little meddlers and so one interpretation of Heart could be a cupid-like matchmaker of sorts. I don't personally see that for myself but it's a valid interpretation.

Personally, I see myself as a person obsessed with Connection and the Relationships that make these connections stable. Friendship, romantic, QPR, you name it, I'm interested in the dynamics. In fiction and in fandom, this makes me a prolific shipper yes haha but most of all I love character interactions. I love filler episodes! And beach episodes! And regency romance! And slice of life isekai anime! B/c all those things prioritise character interaction and personal character arcs over plot or action or whatever haha. I love gentle drama and harmless gossip, I love watching two people get to know each other and be forever changed for having met one another and! I!! Love!!! My!!!! Friends!!!!!!!

Also the sylph outfit is cool af actually. In this image I've actually redesigned it to be a little more gender neutral hence the billowing trousers but I love the no sleeves and the curled shoes and the ribbon-y capelet thing lol. And the bangles!!

I have some ideas for godtier powers but they're not fleshed out yet, but for Sylph of Heart I imagine they'd have to power to 'heal the soul/heart' so to speak. To keep emotions steady in the heat of battle and to help heal mental or emotional wounds. They sound like a support class, like a buffer or healer.

Oh god this got long, I have some ideas for lands but I'll be honest it's almost entirely based on this post from dahni years ago (literally 10 years ago oh gods how long have I been here) b/c i really vibe with it so I have nothing new to really add lol. Maybe there'd be like pink lakes or maybe i'd have a coastal type planet with rough seas that symbolise riding the waves of emotion or something lmao

Hope you enjoyed this brief foray! I'll probably reblog this with a breakdown of the godtiers I've assigned to 4 of my dnd characters I did for fun so you can see my opinions on the Space, Time, Mind and Heart (again) aspects as well as the Maid, Page, Mage and Knight classes too. But for now I need to cook dinner lol

Outfits for my fantrolls

I’m figuring out outfits and design stuff for my fantrolls and this is just some of what I have so far. I have four or them, but haven’t started working on the last one’s outfits yet.

Left to right, we have Morosa (indigoblood) Aignis (rustblood), and Fresia (oliveblood)

After I finish all the main looks, I’ll work on their godtier outfits too. Technically, Fresia is a sona, but he’s getting lumped in with the fantrolls because we wanted to have a bigger session (12 trolls in all). We each have four trolls and one human to design and work with. I’ll post more on them when I actually get the art done

[honkingbeast]

And my first post with my Homestuck sona in her godtier outfit :D

I think It looks nice tho

[cutterdirk]

uh this is my homestuck sona and he’s in godtier sorry it’s doo doo i had to get something out of him

[kid--stardust]

there was this twitter thing for drawing yourself/sona in your godtier and i was so happy with this that i wanted to share it here

so Hello from the Mage of Space!

[theextendedzodiacas]

Same fusion sign Anon here; oh! Yeah that makes sense! So what I was thinking of basically was just combining the design of Virsci and Vircer! Ages ago I took the test and got Virsci, my aspect being Life, but lately I’ve found that I’m more like a Vircer, my aspect being Blood

So I’m a Blood player basically now, and I feel like that fits a lot better, but my issue here is that since that first time taking the test, I’ve more or less made the Virsci sign my whole thing, I have a fan troll and a cosplay and everything. But it just doesn’t sit right with me now because I’m a Blood player using a Life sign.

The simplest thing here would just be to switch to using Vircer, but like I’ve said, I’ve made Virsci my whole thing trollsona-wise, and while there’s nothing exactly wrong with Vircer, I just like the Virsci design more. So this leads us to now, where I got the idea of what if I just had the two signs combined? I’m not a dual aspect, my issue is really just a matter of design. (^^;)

Sorry, does that make sense?

yes, that makes sense! in that case your requests would be for a vircer, because playlists and moodboards deal with a sign's inner life and not their character design. fashionboards, likewise, have as much bearing on your sona's design as you want them to, so you could request for either vircer or virsci. the only place i would take issue is in the case of fan trolls; if you asked me to draw a troll that is a vircer but "looks like" a virsci, i wouldn't even know where to start, because to me sign =/= character design. if that philosophy held true, aradia would be a doom player 😂

u could also incorporate "vircer but is living as a virsci" into your character's lore, like maybe they assumed the identity of another troll for some reason. it's not like most alternian trolls would ever find out about the correlation between sign and godtier aspect/lunar sway---in-universe it's mostly a means of identifying one's lineage within a given caste & is probably assigned based on horn shape more than anything else. (i have a headcanon that there are multiple "lineages" per sign---at least two, one psychic and one non-psychic, depending on caste. it'd be more common to have multiple people with the same sign but different lineages in the warmer castes bc they have a large population, but it wouldn't be unheard-of up to violet)

hope this clears things up!

[chococookiez]

wait did i not post the godtier version of my fankid (sona i threw into sburb) ?? oops

[notsokatt]

Oh bruh you should not have made this a thing on the list cause I have WAY TOO MANY self inserts it's awful. Here is my trollsona, they gonna murder I guess yay I didn't finish it past a sketch, to be fair this is much bigger than a doodle which was my like, goal, but whatever. At least I'm still goin lol FIND THE PROMPT LIST HERE I decided to go all out and share a bunch of my sonas below the cut just because I can. You have been warned >:)

More Trollsona stuff. I cannot settle on a godtier lol it keeps changing as the years go by. I was originally the Seer of Heart (I think), then Maid of Mind, then Knight of Life. I need to stop lol. Fun fact: her horn shape came from my dragonsona's original seawing horns. Her teeth are kindof like a mouse type of thing but with added fangs? Her Lusus is a combo of a mouse/ferret creature. It's somewhere in my highschool sketch/doodle binders

Arcane MC

Spidersona!! I love her sm

This (below) is the piece that got me to really study perspective, foreshortening, and backgrounds and learn how to have fun with it. It was never finished but it's a super important piece to me :)

Here is my RotTMNT self insert that then turned into her own character. I love Andrea with my whole heart

I have my own story thing called Into the Reverith. I made a self insert for that too lmaoo here is my peryton-sona thing. Perysona? sure

My modified Wings of Fire Dragonsona of course lol

Not featured here is my Obey Me! MC, DMSP Insert, Steven Universe Gemsona, uhhh probably a bunch of others that I cant think of lol. But yay I love self inserts it is my favorite thing to do
