#moirails 4 life

[kabutoden]

drew these for fun while i was chilling out... meet my little GOLD RULE cast. these 4 are the main characters/more important guys from my silly goldblood ruled planet. the tall one is floria, a mantis+purple blood. the bell horns one is melosa my dear little wretch and favorite little rebel bb. the mean girl is theodochia, and the skinny nerdy insecure looking one who wants to be saved by a power ranger is the child emperor claudi. floria is melosa's moirail/mom and enabler. melosa is trying to rescue claudi (how she was awarded her shock collar and ankle bracelet combo.) and theodochia is the bitchy single holder of the braincell who doesnt want floria to let two impulsive 13 year olds ruin his life, because then she wouldnt have anyone to move her giant canvases without complaint. watch as four childrens horrible disease called friendship tears two worlds apart!!!

[yanderes-galore]

Hello! I hope you have a nice day/night :>

Could I request Feferi and Eridan (Homestuck) sharing/fighting over a human darling? In an AU where they're alive, if that's possible.

Ngl I'm most excited to write for Feferi in this- Things are vague as the request was so sorry if I didn't go into depth :(

AU where they are both alive on The Meteor and you arrived with Rose and Dave in God-Tier.

Yandere! Feferi Peixes/Eridan Ampora with Human! Darling

Pairing: Matespritship❤️/Moirallegience♦️ - Rivalry/Sharing

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Clingy behavior, Needy yanderes, Jealousy, Possessive behavior, Manipulation, Isolation, Rivalry and Sharing mentioned, Forced relationship.

When they first meet you they have differing reactions.

Eridan acts arrogant and entitled and says he has no interest in mingling with humans.

Meanwhile Feferi is the complete opposite.

She does not display superiority towards you and is actually excited to meet the new humans.

She actually catches you off guard with her running up to you to ask all sorts of questions and to know about you.

Feferi and Eridan have only really chatted with you through the chatting app.

So meeting you in real life is so new.

I expect Eridan to keep chats brief with you until Feferi encourages you two to talk.

Feferi is certainly the driving force for Eridan's obsession over you.

Perhaps the two are still Moirails.

He feels if she's pestering him she'll try.

Well... he doesn't regret it.

He hates to admit it but he really does feel a form of attachment to you.

Feferi is naturally excited and gleeful with everyone so it's hard to tell if she's being her or genuinely has an interest.

You didn't specify what quadrant so I picked two different ones.

As a result there's like four different ways I can look at this;

Matespritship Rivalry = Feferi and Eridan realize they want you as their red love. This puts a strain on their Moirallegience as the two try to convince you they're the "right choice".

Matespritship Sharing = Feferi and Eridan have red love for you but they don't want to fight. The two attempt to preserve their failing Moirallegience with a shared Matespritship with you.

Moirallegience Rivalry = The two end up breaking their Moirallegience off like in canon and try to replace you as their Moirail... only to cause more fighting.

Moirallegience Sharing = The two break off their Moirallegience in order to share you as their Moirail.

In all four ways I imagine both of them are rather needy with you.

Eridan jumps to violence/murder and entitlement when trying to win you over quickly.

Feferi meanwhile is so excited all the time, often taking you attention to drag you around.

The Moirallegience between Feferi and Eridan is very taxing, mostly to Feferi.

So adding you into the mix is somehow supposed to help (when it comes to option 2 and maybe 4).

You may feel as though you're being torn apart when it comes to them as I would consider them both rather needy and attention hungry.

The two may show irritation and rivalry behavior between the two of them but I feel they can't really hurt each other.

Not unless one of them was pushed to the brink.... (*side eyes Eridan*)

You'll catch Feferi ranting about Eridan to you, often saying insults about his behavior.

Eridan tries not to say hurtful things but it ends up being mentioned in his own private rants to you.

He actually finds himself not feeling bad afterwards since he seems to care a lot more for you than his old Moirail.

That behavior would happen more often with options 1 and 3.

I have to be vague with this concept as it in itself is rather vague.

But there is many different ways for how the two could be with a human darling, both sharing and rivalry.

The two are rather needy and have an air of entitlement due to their blood color... even though Feferi tries to hide it.

The two try to act nice with you and slowly court you into the quadrant they want.

However... there's bound to be some complications caused by the two of them.

Due to them being part of the Nautical Aristocracy they feel they should both have a shot with you.

It's up to you if they fight for it or not.

[bugdew]

happy 4/13 yall

sp blog posts the yearly required homestuck again

except it was drawn with zero intention of drawing any faces because seriously screw that I hate drawing faces from the side >:(

sometimes you just gotta drag ur moirail from a toddler backpack leash to get him where he's supposed to be

life is silly like that

[p1nkc4tb0t]

OK GUYS IMMA GO ON A RANT ABT THE NOVEL UNWIND, OK? OK.

HOLY SHIT.

guys it was so fucking good i swear.

ok so yeah, warning spoilers n shit. yeah.

ok so i really like the concept of the whole Bill of Life thing, unwinding especially.

like holy smokes was it good.

OK SO IK ITS NOT THE MOST POPULAR NOVEL I DONT THINK SO FOR MY MOOTS WHO R SEEING THIS THIS IS THE GENERAL CONCEPT: since abortions r banned pretty much, ppl either “stork” unwanted children or “unwind” children when they became unwanted. like the story starts off abt three unwinds, being unwound for completely different reasons. Connor was like, a troublesome kid and his parents just didn’t want that so they signed the orders to get him unwound. i missed why Risa was unwound but im pretty sure the state house just didn’t have much room for her anymore(she got storked there i think. she really didn’t grab my attention at the beginning sadly). Lev came from a Christian family, and churches make everyone sacrifice one of their children for God by unwinding them second they turn 13, Lev being one of them(it’s considered an honor)

OK SO the concept of storking is that, the mother delivers a child, doesn’t want it, leaves it at some person’s doorstep and then it’s “finders keepers.” however if they are caught they have to take the kid back and legally obliged to keep it. same with the finders keepers situation, got storked and ain’t no one at ur doorstep? legally obliged to keep it like it or not. however Connor’s parents once got storked and passed it into the neighbors house, and the baby rotated for a week and back to their house, but already sick and dying. Connor then gets traumatized and further on in the book he’s so overridden with the memory that when a bitch got storked she yell at them (Connor abd Risa) to take it back even tho the kid wasn’t theirs.

the concept of unwinding is that legally between 13-18 your guardians can send you to a harvest camp where you’re taken apart and given these parts to those who need it. like for example: you got unwound, taken to a harvest camp, they take your hands and give it to a guy who lost his across the fucking continent. ppl literally stopped trying to cure things, just replaced faulty organs with healthy ones. and no one really knows what’s going on in those harvest camps. do they kill you off immediately or do they wait and wait for weeks on weeks to get to you while you never know when’s your last day.

SO ANYWAY

I really like Connor’s relationship with Hayden, and tbh if they would make them canonically in love i’d be the happiest person on this planet. but again that would cause even further complications w the plot so i get it ig. but at the same time i don’t. Connor never really struck me as a cishet dude even from the beginning of the story, and though him abd Risa r a very good pair i’d just kinda like it more if they paired him up with Hayden. cuz first of all it would add on to tge reason he got unwound in the first place. abd like, i want a gay protagonist in a horror book is that really too much to ask?

same thing with Lev and CyTy, tho i see them more as moirails. yk, homestuck. heheh. no bc they’re so caring for eachother it’s crazy. but again i don’t see them in a romantic relationship, i just rlly like their dynamic. live laugh love how Lev was willing to go through with CyTy’s shit and vice versa.

Hayden and CyTy gotta b my fab characters frfr. anyway so CyTy’s name is actually Cyrus, but he has an eighth of a brain of a kid who got unwound and his name was Tyler. so like, he sometimes does things that Tyler would do but himself won’t, leading them to Tyler’s parents’ house and it actually made me tear up.

ALSO RISA IS AN EMO GINGER. NOT DEBATABLE. I DO NOT CARE IF IT CAN NEVER B CANON, I LIVE FOR EMO GINGER RISA.

GUYS THIS BOOK IS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL GO READ IT

i NEED to make a Homestuck Unwind AU

(imma just tag 4 moots i think would find this interesting @hiddencattoes @kovuspams @r3z1l1c1ous @imgoingtoeatyourfirstbornchild sorry guys this felt necessary)

[faerociousbeast]

OKAY SO. hes a tealblood bounty hunter that has been likle. fully indoctrinated into believing in the empress and her kingdom. bc his lusus is a piece of shit giant legbeast he calls dirgedad that randomly attacks him in his own hive to "keep him alert" which means hes constantly paranoid 24/7 even while hes asleep.

he currently believes in the hemocaste and treats those lower than him as scum while those higher than him can do no wrong. unless they go against the empire then they were born with lowblood minds anyways and need to be exterminated. did i mention hes indoctrinated.

he wields a hunting rifle most of the time. his left eye is missing along with having other scars on his whole body from attacks from his lusus, other trolls, and their lusii. also hes like 15 and a half in human years (so like 6.5 sweeps. my dms conversion rate is 2.4sweeps = 1year). terezi if her lusus was really shitty.

also hes had 4 failed quadrant romances. he cannot keep a partner it comes with the toxic morals. 1 ceruleanblood kismesis who was really shitty to him and made him become more attached to his shittier lusus, 1 violetblood moirail who was always kind of distant before they shut him down and stopped talking to him, 1 tealblood moirail who disagreed on his ideas of justice . which led to them taking out his fucking eye oops 😭 and 1 goldblood matesprit who was the love of his life for 3 years before one day all the emotions they were holding in about him exploded and completely tore him down in a huge rant. pendra blocked them and has since never had a relationship ever again. he also holds a personal grudge against goldbloods in general for that bc he always associates them with his former matesprit. guy who is soooo fucked up and cant deal with it.

also his theme song is sarah smith by wych elm

I LOVE TEALBLOODS I LOVE HIM I LOVE WHEN PEOPLE REMEMBER THAT THESE GUYS ARE INDOCRINATED FROM BIRTH pendra i love you

[neptunianrefrain]

my real actual life got in the way, so it's time to play catch up! this post will be a compilation of all days missed.

OC-tober day 4 - underappreciated OC -skipped

sorry for skipping a mandatory day, but literally none of my ocs specifically come to mind. because like all of them are because i forget they exist, there's no one guy that specifically gets that title. and i'm not drawing all of them there's TOO MANY

OC-tober day 5 - redesigned OC - skipped

no specific redesign i want to talk about :P

OC-tober day 6 - past

not many of my ocs get backstories, since i don't often have them for long enough to care about those sorts of things... but all of the ocs i've spoken about so far do have at least something within their past! so let's talk about them!

gio was born in the philippines, to a family who didn't really want him. his original birth name was marikit. through some kind of program he was adopted out to a family in canada. this family adopted 3 other children due to fertility issues, though they did manage to have one biological child. they let him change his name to georgia. his life was pretty normal. in his teens, he started to figure out he was trans. by the time it started to click, his mom died. so that kind of got in the way of things. there's also an abusive ex somewhere in there but i haven't figured that bit out. anyways now he's an adult and looking into transitioning. now his name is giovanni. he really likes g names. he fully transitions over the course of several years. during this time, somewhere towards the end of his transition hes like late 20s or something, he meets and soon falls in love with a guy named michael (who belongs to my moirail @dialtone-town,) starting a long and loving relationship. eventually mike's sibling dies and mike fucks off to new jersey. this fucks gio up for a while! and eventually he has to go to new jersey for work shit. and he meets mike again. and theyre friends now yaaay

starlight has a vague backstory involving his development, as he was a custom order. there were several prototypes made of him, that still exist somewhere probably. they're more so an oc that exists to exist instead of an oc that exists for a story.

victor is still very new, but i did come up with the idea that her coding - that is to say the very makeup of her being - was intentionally messed with by another gem to create a reliable hitman, though they fucked up and victor immediately killed them, now continuing to kill as she lacks purpose beyond this.

chartreuse probably served the gempire at some point. eventually rebelled and had a bit of a turbulent life, had a best friend for a while but he fucked off and became a massive bitch. now she's part of a major rebel group, serving as the lead engineer.

OC-tober day 7 - likes

most of my ocs like similar things to me, or things that fit their sort of vibe. it's kind of hard for me to come up with likes and dislikes sometimes... but i try my best!

gio loves all kinds of video games, particularly liking ones with interesting stories or game mechanics. he also tends to enjoy science fiction, liking both sleek and elegant futuristic tech, and rough and war torn machinery. he watched some anime as a teen, and still finds new animanga to enjoy to this day.

starlight enjoys futuristic themes and styles, such as cyberpunk, and cassette futurism. he also enjoys fashion, especially alternative styles. and by god does he love playing weird indie video games. sometimes he does play more normal video games. sometimes. loves music, genre and language mattering not. he WOULD pass those "do you really listen to anything" tests. he also loves creation, making art and music and writing. he loves creating as much as he loves looking into what others have made.

uhh victor. victor likes killing people. chartreuse uhh. she likes something probably.

i have other ocs i cld maybe put here but i don't want to introduce them now. blehh

[millimononym]

TAG GAME!!!

tagged by @cerisia76 thank u 4 the tag!! I didn't know who i should tag so I'm just gonna be answering this one

3 ships:

this is gonna be hard I'm in so many fandoms lol I'm gonna try to be diverse. Also this is super long

1. Eritav (Homestuck)

OUGHHH where do i start with these 2. Ok so tavros is my fave troll so naturally during the period i was reading Homestuck a lot i stared having dreams about him. And for some reason one time Eridan was also there so i was intrigued and looked into their ship tag on AO3 and found the best fic ever with like the best characterization, writing etc... Before i literally didn't give 2 shits about eridan but it made me love his character as well. It's called "Black sails, Black romance" by mtjester and it's about Tavros and Eridan developing a kismesissitude(which is basically hate love, for those that don't read hs). The reason i put a pic of them down there as moirails is because i can honestly see them in any quadrant, despite them never talking in canon.

For moirallegiance, i feel like it would start out rocky but eventually develop into something better. Tavros would actually be allowed to speak his mind and develop more confidence since i dont think Eridan would shut him down constantly like Vriska, as Eridan is desperate for his quadrants to actually work. And Eridan would obviously benefit from having someone to keep his ass in line.

I can see them developing into matesprits later from that as well.

And as for kismesissitude, well it's already getting too long and i already gave a fic rec for it.

2. Toxic4Toxic/Socket/Rocket x Sinedd whatever they're called (Galactik football)

Must i say anything. They give each other undiscovered mental illnesses and are horrible for each other and i love that for them. Rocket is my favorite character and so his arc in season 2 was most interesting to me, which includes his relationship with Sinedd. I feel like they could have done more with them in s2, but i already made a post about that.

3. Hinadam (Super Danganronpa 2)

AHHHH THEM. Contender for fave rarepair of all time and fave Danganronpa ship overall. Best fics on ao3. 0 fandom toxicity surrounding them. Should be shipped more than k0mahina. Is more canon than k0mahina(I'm gonna get torn apart for this opinion but idc!!!)

like the entire freetime events with Gundham ends with him letting Hajime hold his hand, which he never let ANYONE do due to his touch aversion. He never develops a relationship this strong with anyone, not even Sonia who is his friend in the game. Hajime is the only person he feels safe and comfortable letting down his walls with due to Hajime's genuine effort to understand him better and be his friend. It's genuinely touching to me idkk i think i cried a bit first time i saw it. I'm not going to go into spoilers but good god man...the chapter ....if you know you know

and also in the island mode ending, Gundham asks Hajime if he wants to live a quiet life with himself and his animals. How is this not shipped more they're literally so in love it's not even funny

And NO i do not ship it because gundham is the best character and Hajime is the character i relate to most. but that could be part of it

IDK who made this artwork I'm sorry

Last song:

Okay it's technically not these ones but its the ones i remember listening to most lately. It's rainbow factory and Terrible Things. Fun fact a childhood song of mine called Erase The Underground (undertale fansong) just. Straight up used rainboe factory's music and i never knew so when i listened to RF i got the biggest jumpscare of my LIFE

Last movie:

The last movie i remember watching fully was Howl's moving Castle bcz my sister forced me and i enjoyed it even though it's not one of my favorite ghibli movies or anything. It was cool

Currently reading:

Still reading Watership down! (I have no time for anything lately otherwise i would have finished it) and if Manga counts I've also started reading NANA !! and i love it tbh my favorite thing is the fashion i could feel myself getting more cultured while reading it i think

Currently watching:

There's nothing im really focused on atm but i have a list on my pinned. The big ones i would say are Adventure Time and MAR (for nostalgia purposes). I'm also watching the justice league cartoon but tbh I don't really enjoy it that much despite people saying it's great. It just doesn't hit the same heights as BTAS or have as enjoyable of a superhero team as LOSH 2006. To me. But idk maybe it gets better later

Currently drinking: waterrrrrr baby

Currently craving: school to end to end tbhhhh

[booperbeanv3]

do you have any homestuck ocs?

i do i just never post abt them or any kind of oc shit tbh cuz no one rlly gives a fuck LOL

(ref was edited im just lazy. scotch uses umbrellakind) here's the trolls. they're all LIARS nd schoolfeed schoolfriends and run this shitty underground lowblood society called the UTCC (Unnamed Troll Call Centre/United Trolls of Caste Cohesion)

they scam highbloods alternian prince style and start a session to try and extend reach

during one of their scrapes they find this weirdo human by accident . this human i actually had written out before i made the trolls. he has a ref but the style difference is hilarious

he's LAUGHABLY PATHETIC to the point of pitybait. works the register at a convenience store despite being in middle school (jk he doesn't GO to school he's a wageslave for life) lives in a shoebox apartment smokes a quarter pack a day and is so unbelievably depressed he doesn't know what time is. perfect moirail material except scotch kinda wants to hit too so you've got that vacillating garbage. he can't even scam him he has 3 dolar in his bank account it all goes to rent and smokes and readymeals

there are more humans but in his universe at least he doesn't interact with them but they DO exist. cuz them 4 are the scratched guardians of a different 4 who will intrude on the session later

[kienansidhe]

hi, im kienan! im the current host of the disaster hearts system. we are a korean american body with dissociative identity disorder and have had multiple diff hosts over the course of this blogs run. i or some variation of me have been host since around 2017-18ish. for transparencys sake, the body is 25+. do not ask abt age specifics please.

we are a survivor of csa trauma, parental abuse, religious and cult abuse, and generally very traumatized, and our experience of life is irrevocably colored by that lens.

we are disabled and unable to hold a job ever since we got long covid in april of 2020. we are fully dependent on our partners, working on our disability application, and still coming to terms with the reality of being probably permanently disabled.

unless otherwise specified it is probably some variation of kienan speaking.

-♡♡♡-

i, kienan, am queer and i prefer to be addressed by strangers with he/they/it or fae/faeself pronouns. i dont rlly care which of those you use, tho, no need to rotate or anything.

some other labels that generally describe me: nonbinary, transmasc, gnc, cuntboy, [redacted], [redacted], femme, femboy, genderweird, bi, aro/ace with a couple exceptions, sex favorable, kink obligate, freak, degenerate, pervert.

i currently have 4 partners, referred to here as prettyboyfriend, nesting boyfriend, girlfriend/daddy, and moirail.

no dni, i think theyre stupid and the only ppl i would not want to interact would not respect dnis anyways lmao. if i have a problem with you i will just say so or block you or whatever.

some of my beliefs and what to expect on this blog are under the cut.

i believe in rehabilitation and compassion, full stop. yes, even for those people. i think that othering and dehumanizing others sucks, that thoughts do not define you (yes, even those thoughts), and that the only thing that matters is your actions.

i think callouts are never helpful, ever. ive literally never seen one do anything helpful or good.

i try my best to interact with others in good faith, and i expect the same in return.

we were homeschooled in a cult and our education was heavily ~moderated~ to keep us brainwashed, and every time i think ive rooted out all the misinfo new stuff comes up. please be patient with me if i ask stupid questions, i literally am stupid. i have so much literal actual brain damage. i will do my best to be open minded, i rlly want to learn!

i believe that the best ways to combat csa are better sex education, breaking down the sanctity of the nuclear family, youth liberation (more legal rights and self advocacy for children), and not clogging child abuse report portals with fucking fictional art, jesus h christ.

medicalization of identities sucks. sysmeds, transmeds, im sorry youre miserable but thats not an excuse for trying to make everyone else miserable with you.

labels are only useful insofar as they help you connect with others like you and form solidarity in order to combat systemic oppression. if labels make you angry or miserable, consider not taking them so seriously.

its okay to just dislike ppl. its not always that deep. trying to come up with moral reasons to justify disliking ppl is rlly fucking catholic.

dont talk to me abt christianity. im aware that my trauma affects my ability to be compassionate in this area, so im staying in my lane. in fact probably dont talk to me abt religion in general.

im not a proshipper or an anti i touch grass <3, HOWEVER:

antishipping / purity politics / anti-kink / whatever you wanna call it, ppl equating fictional depictions of Obvious Bad Things with condoning, supporting, or normalizing them in real life are fucking stupid and have done unbelievable amounts of damage that has now reached far beyond fandom and kink circles. get a life, for fucks sake.

ppl who call themselves proshippers and then go around harassing antis are fucking stupid and have lost the original spirit of the term proship / anti-anti, which hinged around not harassing or harming others over fiction. get a life, for fucks sake.

just be kind. dont be a dick. treat others how you wanna be treated. we are all traumatized but thats not an excuse to be cruel. leave the world better than you found it.

youre gonna make mistakes. you just are. youre not perfect and also the world is complex. remember that you cant help everyone. try your best but dont lose yourself in the process.

art is everything. the act of creation is holy. more progress is made by creating -- building communities, making art, growing plants, building houses, building relationships -- than by tearing things down. there is probably a time and place for violence, destroying oppressive systems, bombing weapons factories, but if we arent creating a positive, healthy society alongside the destruction we are just leaving fertile ground for new oppressive structures to take root. create. create. create.

The Request

Finally, he was going to see his mate-sprite again. The only issue was getting to that ship and back out alive. His odds of completing such an insanely idiotic feat were worse than nothing especially alone. Which meant he was going to have to do the thing he hated doing the most and ask for help.

It was with that thought in mind that he found himself standing in front of Vlad's hive, a hand raised to announce himself. Pride, doubt, and fear held him frozen there for a minute, then 2. It would have likely been another 3 or 4 before he even made the choice to knock or not if not for the red that leaned over and knocked for him.

When he looked over his shoulder to find out who the hand was attached to it was somehow both surprising and completely expected to Lonque standing just behind him. How the larger-than-normal troll managed to sneak up on him without so much as a whisper Alacar didn't know or have time to think about. "Thanks.." He spoke hesitantly but Lonque simply nodded with a smile on his face that was simultaneously warm and smug.

The door opened before Alacar could decide whether or not to punch the troll in his face, even if it was unlikely that he'd land the hit to begin with. The familiar and unfamiliar face of Syhren greeted him with a cold glare. 'Hel-" The door was slammed violently in his face, so he waited patiently until he heard muffled talking from the other side of the door. If he wanted to he could have listened it but doing so to Vlad was one of the few lines he wouldn't cross. Shortly after the muffled conversation ended the door opened again to a slight bemused Vlad. "I was wondering why she was so agitated, she's still upset about her.... coalescence. Why don't you come in so we can chat." His eyes met with Lonque's and the silence stretched between them for a very long, very uncomfortable, amount of time before he finally continued with, "Your friend is also free to join us of course." Inside the hive of his Moirail Alacar felt a profound sense of comfort, as well as a mild sense of looming danger. As if the she-demon staring daggers at him was gearing up to slit his throat the moment he let his guard down. She likely would too if he wasn't so important to one of the only people that cared about her on this forsaken rock.

"Hello again Syhren." He said to her, his tone dripping with forced cordiality "Demon." she shot back with cold venom. "Now that's just hurtful, after everything I did for you?" "More like what you did TO me you-" "Syhren stop." Vlad cut in before the verbal combat between the 2 of them could escalate into something much worse. "Do not condemn him for my wants." Syhren glared at Alacar in the way that only someone that had experience death could glare but relented and sat down in a chair away from the group but still close enough to hear and contribute to the conversation if she felt the need to insult Alacar. At least that what he assumed she would do if she dained to interject. "So what brough you over today?" Alacar's mental villianization was brought to an abrupt end with Vlad's question and the hostillity he felt towards Syrhen instantly dissolved into dread. "I-" He swallowed, unable to keep eye contact with the man in front of him. " I need your help...." "With?" "I found them.... I finally found Calmet but I can't get them without help." "I see." Because he wasn't looking at Vlad he could see the exact moment Syrhen decided to add her two cents, rather explosively as well. "Fuck. You. We shouldn't be helping that- that THING at all!" Despite her outburst Vlad didn't admonish her at all, instead asking Alacar a question. "Where are they?" The very question Alacar was dreading to hear and hoping he could get away with never having to answer until Vlad already agreed to help. For the first time in a long time Alacar was scared beyond just the primal fear for his life. He was scared Vlad would deny him, reject him and let him go it alone to what would surely be his doom. Worse than that, he was scared that he might say yes and die helping him. For that reason he remained silent, eyes staring at the floor until he felt a hand on his shoulder. Once again Lonque was silently lending a hand to the troubled troll for no other reason than he wanted to and it made the fear and doubt a little thinner and easier to wade though. "They..... they're on a ship, a ship that is in the empress' fleet. Ship number 8375." "No." Syhren answered on behalf of Vlad. "That's asking us to die for you, a monster like you isn't w-" "I'll go." Vlad cut her off. "V you can't." "I can, and I will. Alacar is the reason you're still in my life Doll, I owe him." Syhren clenched her fist in rage as she stared down Vlad until finally softening for the briefest of moments before her icy gaze snapped to Alacar again. "I'm going too."

Not wanting to agitate the very very dangerous woman Alacar simply nodded in agreement with her. It's not like saying no would stop her and more people made the operation much more feasible to a point. Besides, having the incredibly lethal assassin on his side would be a nice boon. He also did in fact recognize that he was justifying her coming along to himself so that he would still feel in control which was a bad habit he probably should be trying to break. He instead moved on. "I have a man on the inside, the previous agent I was using overreached getting me this information but this one doesn't know he's working for me yet so hasn't had the chance to fail." "How do you know he's going to listen to you demon?" "Easy, I know who he's in red with even if it's unrequited and All I need to do is get that person to tell him what to do, as long as my orders are coming through their lover they'd probably kill themselves just because they asked." "Names, and will this lover listen to you?" Vlad spoke up "The worker's name is Rimmer and the person he's in lover with is Qimzal, and yes he'll listen to me we're close friends him and I." "Wow, I didn't know monsters could have friends. " Syhren added sarcastically. "Oh and I thought we were getting along so well!" Alacar quipped back to which Syhren hissed at him, actually hissed like a cat. The action was so terrifying it made him jump back and Vlad snickered at his expense. The exchange even seemed to make Syhren slightly happier. She stood up and took out her palmhusk. "I'm going to let Harvey know." "Doll don-" "No V, Harvey needs to know that we're both going to be in danger, he won't be okay if something happens and he didn't know about it." Once again they stared at each other, a silent battle of wills before this time Vlad caved and slumped into a chair. "Fine, but if he insists on coming I'm holding you accountable." "Oh no, I guess I'll die.... oh wait." She smirked and walked out of the room while Vlad massaged the bridge of his nose in frustation. "Sometimes I swear..." "I'm going." Both Vlad and Alacar snapped their heads up to see Lonque who had be silently watching the conversation the entire time, so quietly that they had both forgotten he was even there. Alacar opened his mouth to object but was silenced by Lonque speaking once again. "I'm going." It was a statement of fact, he would be there and Alacar would have to accept it. He was dumbfounded, this troll owed him nothing but was willing to die to help him out. Alacar couldn't help but to laugh.

whats a moirail?

inhales

so in homestuck, the narrative spends quite a bit of time explaining the mating structure of a violent alien society. In this society, everyone ideally has multiple life partners and there are 4 setups: a love/hate thing, something similar to romantic love, a throuple where one party mediates between two people who have a love/hate thing, and finally something similar to a queerplatonic relationship. That last one is what a moirail is. Basically, the two people involved have a deep committed relationship where they are presumably not having sex, though they do typically share a house and a bed. The purpose of this is to calm at least one of the people down from committing murders and violence. Pal is pretty much doing this for camilla knives and more knives hect. He's her emotional support guy, whatever that means!

ted talk concluded! I'm sorry and have a great evening

The grand homestuck oc tournament poll: Round 4 winners!

zalium azoran

Zalium is a rogue fuchsiablood who was raised by an axolotl lusus away from the prying eyes of the alternian empire. eventually he was able to find community in the lower bloodcastes of alternia and here he learned about alternian history from a true perspective.

he gathered an aliance, heavily inspired by the sufferer's rebellion, and rises up against the empire. being a highblood he held a greater chance against the empress and gl'bgolyb, and after a strenuous battle he manages to take down the horrorterror and the empress in turn

i don't even care if he's bad i love him so dearly

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Orfeus Etimio

Orfeus is soft spoken, docile and as weak as a troll gets, but people tend to fear them because of the horde of ghosts following them everywhere, even for those that can't see spirits the presence is overwhelming.

They constantly give more than they can for the ghosts and have ended up emotionally drained, not properly reacting to most situations and appearing emotionless. İf you grabbed them and took them home they'd only say "ok" and let it happen.

They like playing minecraft with their moirail also

-------------------------------------------------------------

Viiveh Telore (Now with new and improved art!)

Viiveh is a fuchsia blood in an abusive relationship trying to forge his own destiny. He tries to stay positive and is unlearning some classist traits. He goes to the surface and hides his blood color by dressing like a robot. He really loves tech and the mechanics of it, since the seadwellers can mainly only use bug-based tech underwater. He takes the name Vexxin during his hiding. Don't get him started on troll Daft Punk.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

?????? Achlys

19 yo Mage of Void hemoanon, Achlys is a air-headed party girl who likes to take it easy, life is definitely too short to be worried about every little thing. She's quite friendly for a troll and always knows what to say to please people. She changes quadrants pretty often.

However when SGRUB begins she seems to know just where to look to learn all the rules and easily makes herself the leader before anyone notices. Not to mention her fake lusus and dreamself that seems to be puppeted by horrorterrors…

---------------------------------------------------------------

8/42: Yennua Herpet Pronouns: they/them OR she/her Blood Color: violet Height: 5'2" (157 cm)

Quadrants Matesprit: none Moirail: Opacha Oolong Kismesis: none Auspistice: N/A

Info under cut.

Being a princess is frightening and stressful. Wonyen never got to be a wriggler, instead having to sober up and be proper from an extremely young age. Living a life as a minor celebrity, she was surveilled and scrutinized everywhere she went, and she was never offered the slightest bit of grace for their mistakes.

Then, at only 4 sweeps old, they survived an assassination attempt that broke both of their legs, and something finally cracked. Or, rather, something split. The immense strain had fractured her personality, creating an alter named Tucker.

While their body healed, they were still forced to maintain a perfect outward appearance, and their retainer's grip became more and more forceful and violent. Finally, the alter Yennua was created, and they immediately took charge, packing their favorite things and running away.

They make their home in an old abandoned tower next to a tiny island off the mainland. Their neighbor, Opacha, is also their deeply-treasured moirail, and they always wear a bucket hat she made for them. By now, their appearance has changed so much that they would be difficult to recognize from their previous life, and they feel all the better for it.

hemera philly is a valid troll name

traced from polypas sprite, bg is an edited version of nepetas pesterquest hive

She's a jadeblood (derse & doom) who mostly does paperwork and gardens to pass her time in the caverns. Only a perigee away from banishment, she knows that the only way she'll be leaving the caverns is in a body bag. Despite her being a stickler for rules and seemingly staying on the side of the empire (having your moirail killed in front of you changes people) by always bossing her peers around to an agonizing degree, she is currently housing two fugitives--a ceruleanblood named Carlin Coffze who is wanted for crimes against the empire and a violetblood named Yuknee Kornes who is totally blind and had her ability to breathe underwater taken from her in her younger years. Yuknee is also technically a mutant, having been hatched with only one horn in the middle of her forehead like the fabled sabre-tipped hoofbeast. When not policing around her cloistermates, she enjoys reading, playing slitherbeast on her old-timey troll nokia plamhusk, and nightdreaming about leaving the caverns with Carlin and Yuknee and starting a new life for all three of them, away from any responsibilities or threats of being culled. She is both aropitch and aroflush.

i have a route planned out in my head for her but 1. i can't code and 2. this post is long enough and 3. nobody wants to hear it and 4. this isnt even my character

ANCESTORS!!!!!

I’l so so proud of how these 4 came out, I haven’t drawn them all in full lined art or colour in soooo long-

Anyway, from left to right, LORE + INFO TIME!!!!! [REBLOG > JUST LIKING‼️]

—————🔷——————-

[Our Gallant King, The Misfortunate] Ernezt “Dunkan” Giakna, 13 Sweeps, Gender-Fluid [Male presenting lean], Seer of Heart, Derse, 6’5, EDAAMP’S ANCESTOR. [The Wanderer, The Forsaken] Tozule Rhitis, 12 Sweeps, Agender [It/its, still presents male], Bard of Space, Prospit, 5’10, SKABEN’S ANCESTOR. [The Soldier, The Hornless] Torias Larksin, 12 Sweeps, He/Him, Maid of Mind, Derse, 5’9, Edaamp’s other dad, no direct sign descendant. [The Forager] Mazilk Harkux, 13 Sweeps, Transfem [She/Her], Sylph of Blood, Derse, 6’0, no known direct sign descendant. Tozule had slaughtered Mazilk and Torias in a fit of artificial rage, breaking the last remaining horn off of Torias and stabbing it into his gut, leaving him to bleed out. Mazilk fought back her previous matesprite with equal rage, only to have her throat punctured with a broken bottle of Smirnoff, slowly draining her of her life.

That only left Ernezt, the King of the Ceruleans, to finish the regret filled Tozule off with his trusty shovel. They were all such close friends, Mazilk was his Moirail in who he had known since he was young, and Torias was his matesprite, a noble weapon supplier and guard…What went wrong? He was the only one left alive, but not for long. A sweep after the tragedy and the hard, heavy hearted decision of leaving his grub Edaamp on a light year away planet…Ernezt had drowned himself in a river near his kingdom, never to wear the crown ever again. Ernezt still continues to look over Edaamp, though cannot muster up the courage to speak with him directly. He gives him gifts every wriggling day without him knowing where any of them come from. All four trolls’ souls are still cursed with the wounds that killed them, continuously bleeding; Ernezt is constantly dripping river water and spitting it up along with a broken horn due to Tozule’s impulsive attack, Tozule retains an eye scar Ernezt had given it before landing the final blow on its side, Torias’ horns are shattered to rough stubs along with his tattered gut, and Mazilk with her hole in her neck, forever open and disrupting her breathing every day life as a wandering ghost.

Gorgle search ‘top five signs a troll is pale for you’ hit enter requesting results please

Goregle is free. You could do this yourself extremely easily.

But sure, whatever.

5. They seem relaxed around you.

Trolls can be relaxed around many hatefriends, particularly if they are very powerful or high enough on the spectrum that they know they have nothing to worry about from other trolls. That is why this is a sign that needs to be taken in conjunction with others to really mean much.

4. They are physically affectionate with you.

Some particularly confident trolls will touch others a lot, but seeing as entering the wrong trolls' personal space bubble could result in the loss of a limb, being able to do this frequently speaks to the level of comfortable a troll is with you.

3. They show more concern for your well-being than others.

Someone with pale feelings for another troll is going to find themselves more and more inclined to want to know about all of the dangers or distress in the life of their object of affection. This is going to be much more prominent concern than even close hatefriends. And if you catch them trying to smooth out your social issues or take measures to protect you from physical dangers, that's a pretty sure sign.

2. They provide you with things you need, especially food.

Moirails have a strong instinct to care for and provide for each other, so if you suddenly find yourself with useful and thoughtful gifts piling up, it's very likely that you have a pale suitor. They will generally go for things that you specifically wanted or needed as gifts, not just things that are nice and impressive. Food in particular is a cliche, classic pale gift; if a troll is providing you with food and making sure you are eating well very often, that shows clear concern for your diet and health-- a big indicator for pale affections.

1. They tell you things they have "Never told anyone else".

This one is nearly undeniable. If a troll is finding themselves drawn to share their deepest secrets with you, and you're having deep enough conversations often enough to warrant such a thing, there is almost nothing that could be besides pity. Even more so if they seem to want your help or advice with their secrets. Unless this is done as a joke or as a one-off event, you should start thinking through your relationship for other signs this troll might be pale for you.

Hope that helps, since you can't figure out how to use the internet on your own.
