#s33k the highb100d

[pastabaguette]

does no one else remember the scene in homestuck where nepeta and equius kill gamzee?

it happened right after [S] Equius: Seek the highb100d. why does no one talk about it?

up on mspfa now

Finally, we come to the last Fanadventure of the 2024 (so far) Fanadventures, and what better way to end it off than with a HOMESTUCK AU that’s not “Act 1 but Different,” but is instead that other old chestnut, “What if Gamzee *hadn’t* killed Nepeta????????” This is like, classic wish fulfillment. Probably one of the bigger wish fulfilment plotlines, if I’m being honest, since the root of that wish fulfillment was seen within the haunted halls of “ALTERNATIVE MEWNIVERSE.” Also this is the second-highest favourited fanadventure (as of writing this), behind Home-Skillet. So yeah, I’d say the theme is popular.

Much like many of the other “What if Nepeta Kills Gamzee instead” Fanadventures, it knows what you want to see and sends you directly to the action. But like, writing that out in that last sentence, I realized, how else are they gonna do it. Are they gonna, like, go through the stations of canon all the way up to Act 5, and there’s no changes? That sounds terrible. Better to just start your station of canon at the part where you’ve changed it. Anyways.

Well, I mean, I thought this was wish fulfillment, and it might be providing that niche to some, but so far (and by so far I mean. Literally all the parts that are there right now) it’s just. A Fight Scene? Which, if you’ve been following this blog at all, you’ll know that I am slightly skeptical towards the inclusion of in any Fanadventure, but that’s just my personal taste. It is kinda…brutal? Not that brutal, but kind of. Also apparently this fanadventure has been already written out yet if the description of “not spoiling the ending” is any indication, which makes me think that probably Nepeta’s going to sacrifice herself to save Equius, which would not. Entirely be the direction that I would think the wish fulfillment would go in. But that’s merely speculation on something that I’m not exactly “tuned-into” at the start of. Anyways this is probably the most competent one of these fanadventures I’ve seen, so…yeah.

S33k the Highb100d is gonna be the next CSAU I'm calling it right now.

An MSPFA with a simple AU concept from a prominent member in the community? Yeah it's happening again

She Equius: On My S33k Till I Highb100d

[cerulean8looded]

:33 < just heard an ice cream van while sitting in the train in my nepeta cosplay and suddenly I was back in the grate waiting for equius to s33k the "highb100d" scared out of my tiny fucking mind

[pastabaguette]

continuation of a previous post.

is this an au or something now? i don't know. these are fun to make, though.

(mspfa)

[pastabaguette]

a few pieces of the beginning. if anyone was wondering exactly where the events diverge from the main story, it’s here. [S] Equius: Seek the highb100d goes exactly the same as it does in canon. the only difference is the time nepeta shows up.

also, as this au moves forward, please don’t take it too seriously. again, i’m really just making this for fun and practice. it’ll inevitably be imperfect.

(next parts: 1, 2)

s33k the highb100d pgs 36-39

this thing has almost 40 pages already, wow!

anyway, sorry if my dialogue’s not up to par. i haven’t done this before, and i’m not the most confident in my ability to do these things.

same with pacing. i don’t mean the time in-between updates, but the pacing of the panels and actions themselves. sorry if it sucks.

[pastabaguette]

s33k the highb100d pages 32-35

back to 33100posting for now. equius and nepeta have their first actual pesterlog.

[pastabaguette]

s33k the highb100d update, pages 24-28

i’m finally back to releasing new panels. sorry they took so long.

[pastabaguette]

s33k the highb100d update, pgs 14-16

i’ve been having fun trying to write dialogue for the funny purple clowns lately. is it evident?

it’s harder for me than with some other characters, so it’s been good practice, i think.

[pastabaguette]

s33k the highb100d pages 28-31

i'm back on my grind for the time being. i'm trying to make these updates here on tumblr somewhat of a weekly thing.

equius finally showed up again after something like 20 pages. he's still there. yeah.

[pastabaguette]

—> s33k the highb100d. update

additionally, added this panel on page 2 to soften the transition between pgs 1 and 3

i figured out how to get the textboxes working, though, so i’m happy about that!

[pastabaguette]
