My Kernalsprite, Shoggoth she's so soft and squishy

[verdantglow]

are you basing your au on any specific life season? in terms of grouping and such at least. Or is it all cobbled together with things from your favourite seasons? Or is it maybe like, making a new season? Whatever it is im super interested.

also since sburbs not involved im assuming there wont be classpects, but if there were what would you assign to who? (feel free to just pick a couple of your favourites so you do t have to do 18 classpects 💀💀)

So, the AU is based on all the seasons, kinda smashed together in various ways. The cast plays all season as separate VR LARP (VLARP???) campaigns, which in turn influence somewhat what’s going on interpersonally outside of VLARP in the meat space. I’m also pulling from other SMPs I’ve seen the cast in for certain details, as one of my fav things with AUs is working in little references to canon/fanon. Then there’s the aspect of which relationships I feel I want to explore in the Alternian meat space/what I think makes sense given everything else. Plus, you know, a little sprinkle of shipper brain rot.

I’ve got one or two group placements to work out, but I will make a post either today or tomorrow with that info!

As for classpects, boy howdy, I was avoiding this, but once I started, I have found it’s actually really fun & I want to do more! (Do I need an AU of this AU where they actually do play Sgrub…?)

Here’s the few I’ve figured out so far plus some art!

Smalsh Beans as the Heir of Rage

Given how unhinged Joel can (& does, regularly,) get, Rage felt like a good aspect for him, but I was really torn on class for a bit. I didn’t see him as a knowledge, destruction, or healer class. I landed on Heir going off a few fan theories. I saw that some people lost Heirs as being controlled by or representing their aspect, or as being consumed by or becoming their aspect. Idk, something about red life Joel just screams Heir of Rage with those definitions. Briefly considered making him a Witch, because that’s an active class vs heir being passive, but in the end, I think Heir fits better.

(Note: I’m playing with the idea of Smalsh Beans going by Joel for some silly reason, just ‘cause he’s the only one with a human name that isn’t present in his troll name/isn’t extremely close to his troll name, &, well, I’d rather call him Joel. **shrug** Maybe his matesprit gave it to him as a nickname?)

Scohtt Smajor as the Seer of Void

I may have listed Joel first, but Scohtt is the first I settled on. I knew I wanted him to be either a knowledge class, just based the fact that that man has a freaky high perception score. Like. Scott in canon always is one of the first to pick up on shit, so Scohtt is no different. I toyed around with making him the Seer of Mind, but then realized that a) he’s got higher perception that insight (granted his insight is also good) & b) I couldn’t bring myself to make Scohtt, already a teal blood, anymore like Terezi lol. But with Void, it can represent things that are unknown or hidden, so a Seer of Void might be one who can specifically see things that are secret, much like how Scott often figures out hidden from others before anyone else. (For instance, how he immediately knew Scar & Grian were soulmates in DL or how he eavesdropped on secret convos in SL.)

Drewsprite- one of the clones + an anime figurine. (The goal was to kill Drew or die, not whatever this is.)

Juneradiasprite- Granny June's ashes + an Aradiabot. (Combining your grandma's ashes with the bot of a girl you like, kinda weird.)

Pinkiefoxsprite- God Fox + Pinkie Pie figurine. (Fourth wall is no more, dear god.)

Catskullsprite- cat corpse + Rose's decorated skull. (What is this? Jasprose part 2?)

brain has been mixing Homestuck and MCYT

How do you make your brain stop thinking of the origins smp goat priest as a kernalsprite

[davebatsprite]

dave u r so cute. why do you have black hair n not blonde is it to do w ur prototyping

yeah something like that as a kid i had this awesome shelf full of dead animals and whatever and i got invested in that more and more rather than comics or dj-ing or whatever i had this bat that john got for me as a birthday gift and during the whole debacle with my inventory, it launched a sword into the bat and into the kernalsprite then it was batsprite for a while before i decided to throw myself in there but yeah it gave me black hair it was cool or whatever i guess

also uh... thanks

[visionaryparacosmos]

Im being weird (affectionate) about davepeta and erisolsprite today

The sprite who loves existing and everything about themself

And the sprite who hates existing and everything about himself

And they have the same lime green kernalsprite involved in their creation bc they come from different timelines

And I think their neurodivergences play well together rather than clashing

And and and

i think they should be moirails about it

[spindaonateaspoon]

Lil homie is in blatant panic mode from the moment we meet him and we were all like "haha he's so cool nothing riles him" the teenaged mind is truly not equipped to understand anything more complex than a Dr. Seuss book

Once again being made painfully aware of how young and illiterate we were when we read Homestuck the first time because we all genuinely believed that Dave was calm cool and collected, if not a little odd, when in reality this poor boy was hearing Kill Bill sirens through the entirety of Acts 3 and 4 at the very least

[val---ium]

lil Hal is such an interesting character to me

he's constantly sabotaging dirk and Jake's relationship, ultimately being one of the main reasons they break up. It feels like there should be ulterior motives, but I can't seem to think of any other than his perception that he's helping dirk.

his insistence on him and dirk being the same seems weird for someone who socially sabotaged him multiple times. was this all his desire for a physical form? his quick derailment to the kernalsprite was strange. could it be that (if we include post canon) that Hal had some sort of knowledge of the ultimate self and was nudging dirk in that direction, ruining relationships and whatnot. I mean, after the sburb session, dirk and Jake go back to being close, including their homoerotic TV show if we so chose, and in that world, Hal no longer exists

I truly do wonder what hal's intentions were

[anbroids]

something i find interesting is how dirk alludes to alpha rose having some access to her powers as a seer of light and it makes me wonder if the other guardians had some control over their god tier powers especially the beta ones

the only real argument i could make for that would be mom lalondes ability to sneak around the house being kind of void adjacent and bro essentially being possessed by a puppet in kind of a reverse prince of heart power situation with the whole soul destroying thing.

grandpa harley is like… full of allusions to hope powers especially with the taxidermy ghost thing and the luck of escaping the batterwitch and inheriting the company but as far as actually using those powers as a page idk?

nanna egbert being the only one of the guardians that gets reborn as a sprite is kind of life adjacent but feels like a reach. although i do find it interesting that she’s told by the baroness that her destiny is to produce a pair of children who will save the world, and specifically the words “produce” (produce life!) are used instead of “raise” (guardianship?). i know this is much more likely just an allusion to how her paradox slime being used to “produce” but i also kind of like this as a reading that her becoming a kernalsprite is part of the process to producing children who can save the world by ensuring the beta session.

this could also conceivably just be a rose exclusive thing because she was communing with the occult lmao

:33 < Spurb timeline stuff very very important (Earth A)

- heaven sent me to earth years before hellpark, as a sort of angelic-apocalypse-bringer,,, idk how much heaven knew, but they definitely knew the world would end in a few years. They sent me to guarant33 the sp kids play spurb in this timeline.

- hellpark happens when were around 18 (2014ish??). Evangelion happens 2015, but I cant remember if any sp kids became eva pilots....that might have b33n earth B? But I don't think nerv was even formed on earth B?? Either way, we play spurb around 2016, after coming back from 3rd impact.

- while the sburb beta is pretty much a finished version of the game, "spurb" is considered a demo copy, and is missing a lot of features, or has features that work different: theres no WK, WQ, BK, or BQ to defeat, but the qu33ns' rings and King's scepters still exist, and the rings still become prototyped by kernalsprites.....ectobiology produces far more players than the average 4-12 (more like 30-60??), but ancestors arent made into paradox clones for a scratch......scratching the demo isnt possible. After about a month(?) The demo session will erase itself, and any remaining players will be erased. Unlike a scratch, a new timeline wont be created from this.

- me (derse) and eric's (prospit) dream selves awoke years before hellpark. Both of us sort of manipulated the other sp kids into playing spurb,,, while I was motivated by completing my angelic mission, as well as saving a handful of humans from the apocalypse, eric simply wanted to become a god. Either way, 2016ish we all play spurb, and enter the medium.

- I cant remember all the sprites, but I do know that mike and karen died during or after hellpark, and later became sprites...Can't remember what was used pre entry, but mike was prototyped for butters post entry. Pre entry kenny uses a rat, and post entry uses karen...pre entry, kyle uses leslie, stan uses sparky, and eric uses mr kitty...defeating the black king and qu33n isnt an issue in a demo, but the qu33n's ring is still there...trying to acsess thos memories-

- Most of us god tier, but eric is the first- and only a couple hours after entering the game...stan and other space players try for w33ks to br33d a genesis frog, but the demo makes it incredibly hard to succ33d. A demo like this isnt meant to be finished or won......

- at some point, Henrietta finds Rose's sburb walkthrough from 2009, and gets into contact over pesterchum. Thankfully were able to have our mediums sync up, and our sessions are set to end at the same time. We make plans to join the beta kids, after they escape their own session.....during [S] CASCADE, before our session is deleted, most of us were scooped up by the meteorstuck group- I think some of us were scooped up by Jade's ship? Dunno. This is only in the retcon-alpha timeline, it doesnt affect the game over timeline.

- after 3 years we make it to the alpha kids session, get through [S] COLLIDE and ACT 7/THE RAPTURE, and make it to Earth C.

and Pyrozas kernalsprite, who’s a combination of a disturbed CD and a ram skull

[absylphe]

hc + lusus

She loved her lusus so much. She felt she was very lucky to have such a nurturing and mild lusus, even if that meant that she had to learn a lot of her combat through just hacking and slashing at topiaries.

She misses her terribly. She looked forward to the kernalsprite mechanics just to be able to talk to her.

Her lusus collected Kanaya’s eggshells and grub fangs and kept them in her little underground burrow. That has been imprinted on Kanaya, as well — she keeps a lot of things for sentimental value. Basic parenting stuff like eggshells and grub fangs, but also standard things like an ex’s tee shirt, keepsakes like shells or stones from walks with loved ones, dried flowers, written notes, photographs, drawings. She’s incredibly sentimental, but she’s orderly about her hoarding, whereas her lusus used to do things like weaving Kanaya’s shed hair into her grass bedding or stealing her fabrics for her nest.

She’s also still super into piles for this reason, even though they tend to fall out of fashion the older trolls tend to get. It reminds her of home. She usually just uses pillows, blankets, and fabric rolls for her piles, but she tends to spritz them with diluted vetiver or jasmine so they smell more like home.

ok well the kernalsprite is now just the sprite. And I think it's talking to the narrator? Also I can pick one of two things now I'm picking boy wuitt scurrying around

HAVE YOU TIRED PROTOTPYING THE KERNALSPRITE?

hey everyone, i'm playing a game of chess and we've been stuck in this stalemate for an eternity, does anyone have any suggestions for how to evolve the game?
