Jades getting stickbug'd every time they handle purple grubs

yeah

[relaxxattack]

can you rant abt hiveswap and how it changes the per-established alternian lore and not in a good way. i hold no stake in this topic but i love to hear about worldbuilding differences and people complaining

oh my god i would loveeee too. well first of all the obvious stuff with how they seem to think the beta trolls were the stereotypes for their caste (NOT TRUE... very very untrue but ESPECIALLY untrue with like. jadebloods goldbloods and purplebloods who seem to get this the worst somehow)

i hateeee how they made jades preppy THATS KANAYAS THING.. AND SHES EXPLICITLY *WEIRD* FOR THAT. they literally mention it like over 20 times how kanaya is sooooo weird for liking fashion and dressing well and then. oh no i guess every jade does that actually whoops sorry! ToT and god do i even need to go into the terrible prevalence of the idea that "jadebloods are typically/instinctively nurturing" when that is textually not the case?

goldbloods all having double horns is not that big of a deal tbh but its really funny to me that they made that assumption when sollux is like. actively called a mutant for most of the comic. "oh yeah hes mutated and weird and fucked up and some of his body parts are doubled (cue dick jokes here)". like that was a thing for sollux but they just decided to say "well actually. thats just how all goldbloods are"

most purplebloods having a "clowny aesthetic" is fine with me honestly since theres an actual Profession of being a subjuggalator and presumably lots of purples are going to be wanting to go into that? but alllll of them being full on juggalo cultists goes directly against canon. its like. the difference between american lawmaking and christianity. yes the separation of church and state is like nonexistent here. but just because american lawmaking is an enterprise controlled by christianity doesnt mean that All Politicians/Cops are automatically christian. and definitely not the same kind of christian?? there are probably agnostic clowns, or clowns who are only into cultism for the aesthetic. even reformist vs. orthodox clowns. they may all be upholding the same systemic white christian status quo, but they doesn't mean they all fit into that niche themselves. if that makes sense?

and of course i've already made a whole post about how i hate the idea that olivebloods are all feral little rogues, since that makes very little sense in canon.

i would really love to do that full stream of the hiveswap and friendsim games just. going through all of their alternian stuff and explaining my thoughts on it and how it relates to canon... i could go on and on about this stuff for ages and get into way more than just caste stereotypes. i think i would need to reread all of homestuck first to make sure i wasnt just pulling shit out of my ass and was truly studied up though, lmao

Bloodlines Indigo - GHB

<ID> Digital art of the Grand Highblood, Gamzee's ancestor from the webcomic Homestuck; he is seated on a throne, snarling, and gesticulating with one hand while wielding a juggling club in the other. He is a gigantic, top-heavy troll; here depicted in a buglike, xeno style that segments his limbs and gives him a long toothy muzzle. The moody purple colour of the majority of the piece accentuates the golden shine of his long back-swept spiralling horns; on his prominent dentition - sabertooth canines and outswept flattened tusks jutting up out of his mouth from both top and bottom jaw; the gold continues on the razer-sharp scything claws on each of four digits on per hand and two per foot. </ID>

The Grand Highblood for the Makara edition of the Homestuck Bloodlines Zine. I based his teeth off of a combination of musk deer and warthogs. He was fun but tricky to do; I am not quite fluent in Blender, especially posing and the fancy modifiers and math and whatever, which was instrumental in this piece. With any luck I will be able to remember how I modelled his horns, since that will be a very useful skill in the future. It involved 3 parts, IIRC: modelling a small trisection, using a curved line to indicate the general horn curve and having the section repeat along it, and applying a spiral. There must have been a taper function used as well, I think that might also have been a curve? Looks like I have forgotten it all already! Oh well, I will simply have to re-learn it next time!! You can find the edition here. Bloodlines also has a caard, a tumblr, a twitter, and you can find the other editions at the itch.io You can also find me at tumblr deviantArt FurAffinity and Patreon.

Bloodcaste Details (Purple)

Most Purples have very curly horns and hair, you see a lot more coily and textured hair, wider flat noses, bigger lips. Larger bodies- both being very tall fully grown and broad/chubby body types!

Amethyst

Generally smaller then the other two sub-types with more 'loopy' horns, thing spirals and spring/coil like shapes are common. Typically they look weaker then they really are, being either on the thin side of lacking the bulk of other highbloods. Amethyst is also the least common purple sub-type! Psyops are also generally connected to more negative emotions (Fear, rage or sadness on the more powerful end which, is very rare, and inconvenient feelings on the more common weak end. Itchiness, vague hunger or the sensation of touching wet gunk in your sink)

Jam

The most common sub-type, and also almost always on the 'stupidly super huge' side, Jams get TALL. they also tend to hit their adult growth spurt before their peers! most are quite fit and visibly strong. they also have high metabolisms during their active growing years- People joke about teen Jams eating everything in their hive and then some, for good reason. A growing Purpleblood might sit down and have 5 large pizzas just for a causal lunch, take a nap, wake up and have 3 more.

Aubergine.

Have a lot more pronounced tusks and claws. Darker skin is pretty common, not all over but generally in tougher 'patches' around the body- chronic pain is also common with this trait, a lot of patches form on the points or 'squishy parts' and can lead to some joint issues. Most with higher-end Psyops create or promote positive feelings! Heavily textured hair- usually around a 4a/4b.

(Note that most traits are merely common, not exclusive to that sub-type. example; Amethyst may have negative-related Psyops but one might have more Positive abilities, or a Aubergine might have a very sorrowful Psyop! its a pattern in the caste but not a set rule!

OKAYYYYY I had a thought. A homestuck clown thought. About pailing.

This a a warning. Kinda sappy, kinda religious speaking thingies. Btw I just have this headcanon I didn't do research or shit so 🤷🏽‍♀️ if someone already said this sorry lol.

OKAY.

So clowns, amirite? What if a huge aspect of matespritship and pailing was the act of taking off one's facepaint? It's for someone you truly cherish, and it has to be sweeps after you have gotten together. You have to speak before about the future, and if it's something you feel is for forever, you take it off before you pail.

In a human sense, it almost represents marriage. The act of de-facing your own image to show the truth and purity underneath, along with the pain and trauma of the past, to coincide with the others, so they can only see you. It's a sacred ceremony, one that takes a lot of time and thought to go through with.

But unlike divorce, the other person won't be able to walk free. If the bond is broken, the only way out is to kill the other person or yourself. Only 2 people can know your true face.

Thoughts?

GHB Sketch

Sketch for my GHB piece for the Makara/Purple edition of the Bloodlines zine. It was interesting trying to make him look Absolutely Massive while not straying into what I consider to be Zahaak or Maryam territory. And I think the end result, which is a mixture of jacked and twiggy, worked quite well in the context of what fanon thinks a Makara should look like, too.
