HAPPY CLOWN DAY FAGGOTS WOOOOOOOO~~~

just so ppl are aware, i firmly believe april fools is for funny little gimmicks, absurdist memes, and dad jokes, so this blog won’t be reblogging any sudden flashing/jumpscare/g0re videos!!

[endosketch]

any mirthful minstrels?

[sir-incorrect]

oh throwback to when I made trollsonas for a handful of danganronpa characters based on their birthdays (or rather, what blood color that would give them)

transcription of my notes scribbled on the pictures under the cut in case my handwriting is illegible haha

First picture:

Shuihi Saihra and Rantar Amamii

Met when Rantar was gathering testimonies in the caverns.

Hand is blocking sign but maybe [scribble]?

He noticed Shuihi's deductive abilities, and started calling him in to consult. Shuihi is not entirely comfortable with this yet, but does want to help.

Second picture:

Pin = symbol [scribble] (compare to 十神 togami)

Byakya Togami (actually bronze)

sad bc byakya pulled his hand out of hers before the picture

Tohkoh Fukawa/ Shoyho (Sho + Syo ?)

Byakya is the only lowblood to ever actually survive, let alone win, and kind of gladiator/fighting competition against highbloods. As such, he WOULD have been culled immediately, but the heiress took a liking to him, so instead he is the center of a massive coverup. He was "actually just an indigo pretending to be a bronze". He gets to live a life of luxury and power like he earned... but is also forced to hang out with Tohkoh ALL the time and HATES it (platonically).

Third picture:

Kokchi Oouuma (?)

[Shuichi:] "Aren't you a Cancer, though?"

[Kokichi:] "Wouldn't you like to know, Virgo boy."

[next to the purple Kokchi] Troll DICE: Infamous team of subjuggulators ("in training"). Cause problems even for those of higher castes, but these are relatively tame compared to lower castes' reception. Extremely efficient.

[next to the grey Kokchi] Troll DICE: A group of lowbloods posing as purplebloods. Their reputation has to be strictly maintained, lest they get injured and give themselves away. Part of the reason they're so successful is their targets go willingly, as DICE actually helps them fake their deaths and hide. DICE has never actually killed a target or otherwise let them die.

Fourth picture:

WHEEL OF EXECUTIONS with Junkoh Ensima and Mukuro Iksaba!

Despair clowns! Pose as a normal traveling circus act (for Alternia. So lots of murder, prob lowblood killing games), but they're actually spreading "despair", as a concept fundamentally opposite to the Mirthful Messiahs. Junkoh really just wants to see the entire PLANET start killing each other senselessly, even seadwellers, and especially lowbloods killing highbloods.

Fifth picture:

Horns are supposed to be like ⊘ [scribble]

World's worst and most boring clown

*sacrifices your shitty, shitty clown to the Mirthful Messiahs*

Sixth picture:

[Screenshot of quote from the wiki] "could hold her head up high as a "cosplaycat criminal","

Makes fursuits, doesn't wear them herself but DOES do the occasional nya~

By the way, at one point Dionysus was considered the god of madness iirc

But then later was more and more associated with wine and drunken revelry

actually i watched a video about dionysus and his evolution as a god from old mycenaean greece to the orphic cult to his softer wine and revelry thing is exactly what makes him feel so Gamzee to me. Gamzee but as dionysus as represented in the bacchae. Come to reclaim his status as a god, people don't believe him, then he drives everyone mad. A god who is older and more dangerous then he seems, the themes of death and rebirth, his connection to ancient greek theatre and therefore the concepts of sock and buskin (comedy and tragedy), the old old mycenaean version abandoned and raised by nature, wine and the altered mind state caused by getting drunk and also probably high, followers (maenads (and i'm glad someone on the hs team sees this too)) with a propensity to tear people and bulls apart with their bare hands in ritual sacrifice, the "mad" god of insanity and drunken revelry, dionysus cursing peoples junk, the color purple, and i just think!!! gamzee is attached to a lot of interesting imagery and symbolism!!!

When you immerse yourself in homestuck again and then realize that sun and moon would probably be highbloods AND IT'S ALL YOUR BRAIN CAN THINK ABOUT

Or would they be cherubs

Oh my God they're cherubs

“clown church”

it’s the Church of the Mirthful Messiahs, you absolute heathens

[salient-stitches]

Hi there, I hope you're doing well. I had a couple of questions regarding Mirthful Messiahism. I'm part of a system and and one of our members is very interested in the religion/beliefs even if we are not familiar with Homestuck/Hiveswap ourselves. I was wondering if your group would be alright with a system within your religious space. Thank you for your time

Hello! I am so terribly sorry for the late reply, somehow i never get notified of these messages/asks which sucks! Currently we are a little bit on hiatus but that should change relatively soon! Anyone and everyone is welcome to join, as long as those who join are 18+! We have bots and other stuff specifically for systems as well!

[endosketch]

come and join us at the mirthful minstrels!

im currently the only person but i hope more people join our wonderful beliefs

:o)

friendly reminder that this is religious

[indecisive-neurodivergent]

I am impatiently waiting for the day I am approached by a drone to be abducted into a cult/religion so i can cheerily preach the word of our mirthful messiah, honk a clown horn at them. and, if I be ever so luck. maybe throw a pie at them.

Helluva Boss/Homestuck fusion AU when?

[neon-lights-stardust-nights]

He's so much bigger than Sannya... Fae felt like a young meowbeast, curled up so tiny. He could so easily decimate faer while fae slept, let alone if fae woke up. Yet this tiny, mutant troll was tucked into him. He carefully ran his fingers through faers hair, humming to himself. He half wanted to drag faer into something more comfortable to sleep on (well, comfortable for him, anyway.) Either way, he just stared down at faer with tired eyes. Fragility itself could be endearing.

Bestie pls tell me all of ur indigoblood and clown church headcanons!! :o)

I always have trouble pinning this kind of thing down to a list! Everything I can name feels either too vague or too specific. But I'll try!

longtime readers will know I'm absolutely into different facepaint designs having different meanings, and the intimacy/sanctity of the Bare Face eue

I really enjoy the concept of the church as a group being weirdly supportive and protective of each other compared to most trolls. like they'll still kill each other, but trolls of other colors find their comparative attachment to each other deeply unnerving.

Religious practice is largely by The Vibes both for the practitioners and also for me the author lol. Church services? sure! Confession? I guess! Patron saints and saint prayers? If you like that kind of thing. Ritual sacrifice? Yeah man! Orgies and mass intoxication? Why not?

Seadwellers have the monopoly on gold jewelry as a sign of status--highblood fashion is rainbow fabric/stones, silver and jet. Gold on a clown is usually a quadrant symbol from a seadweller--a fairly rare event because:

(I feel like this is at least partially textual but) violet seadwellers and highbloods have a contentious relationship and frequently clash RE: who's the bigger top bitch. Despite the hemospectrum being in the seadwellers' favor, this is a pretty evenly-matched contest (see: Dualscar vs the GHB)

The GHB position technically comes down to deadly combat, but there's a certain amount of democratic input in that if the church or empress don't like you, you can definitely win and then promptly get quietly assassinated.

Despite "candy/mutant red" and "lime green" as blood colors both being taboo or carrying baggage in some way, those colors are often represented in holy art and paintings, because those are the colors of the Messiahs--red for rage and green for mirth. Spirals, smiling/snarling masks or faces, and twining snakes also feature heavily.

Finally, I'll point you toward this post, which covers a lot of less general stuff not covered in this list lol.
