you've probably seen this already but in the flash [S] [A6I5] The Deepest Sigh of All (END OF ACT 6 INTERMISSION 5) we have pant-ironing action which is directly traceable to the end of the homestuck intermission where rose is ironing dirk's pants which means there is at least two points where ironing pants in response to boredom is a thing in homestuck. IDK what this means but you find sense in the repeated chaos of homestuck very well so. have the information.

Don’t know what to make of those two instances exactly, but irons are def a motif... check out this line from the epilogue prologue:

It all returns to the same tonic dominant, matching pitch and tone, ironing out the rebellious flats and sharps until the discordance becomes exquisite.

This will probably sound a little silly, but I think wrinkles/creases are regarded with the same sort of disdain reserved for mediating abstractions like language and time -- like in the same way that separation opposes harmonious union, a “rebellious” wrinkle opposes the perfection of a garment ironed to smoothness (though the snippet above presents the goal as discord...) So the weird aggressiveness of WRINKLEFUCKER can be folded into the general pattern of vitriol directed at every conceivable obstacle to perfect unity. (One such obstacle is “irony”, funny enough. I wonder if that’s a pun)

EDIT: Since language itself is considered such an obstacle, Lord English’s devouring the wrinklefucker is especially potent

Can i make a request for a land for you to ask Shogun to do?

So you want me to ask Shogun to draw a land for you?

I... what?

@peak-of-villainy what is this nonsense?

Ur lorelay system works out very well with how frogs actually do thing, and how most people envision amphibipeople societies working. (Giant salamanders, pitcherplant frogs, and a couple rainforest frogs are the only single-parent guardians/protectors- most either move in knots or don't raise kids/protect eggs.) U prolly did research but what you've described of lorelai stuff they're rlly realistic and stuff. This random blog gives approval.

Heh, thank you. Back a few years ago I did a deep dive of xenobiology stuff, looking at a bunch of different animal types and their oddities. It’s really useful to have those recollections to build your creature from.

/bows. Thank you.

Kill Me: EriDirk (It's a really great pairing but Eridan obviously hasn't had enough happen so he needs to kill/be killed his/by his boyfriend) and Haunt Me: EquiJohn (I am the only person that ships this.)

I think this has been in my inbox for half a year and I’m SO SORRY I kept writing it, then forgetting about it, then writing some more, then forgetting. I’m very sorry.

Kill Me: EriDirk

(I…I couldn’t make it sad. I’m sorry.)

“Is this the right button?”

“No, that’s the menu. You’reopening the menu.” Dirk leaned over to tap the correct button on Eridan’scontroller. “This one. The A button.” Eridan scowled down at the controller.

“Why the fuck are the buttons A,B, then X and Y?” Dirk shrugged.

“Easier to keep track of?”

“Why not A, B, C, and D, or atleast A, B, Y, and Z?”

“Just because. Try the Abutton.”

Eridan pressed the indicatedbutton, and his character jabbed his spear forward in response. He blinked.

“Huh.”

“That’s your basic attack,” Dirkexplained, “B is the special attack. X opens the menu. Y is guard.”

“B ain’t doin anythin.” Eridancomplained.

“You have to hold it down for afew seconds to charge. Now-” Dirk grabbed his own controller. “Jump is up. Movearound with the other keys. If you fall off the edge, it’s an automatic death.”Dirk glanced up at the screen. “Uh, Eridan?

“Huh?” Eridan looked over athim, and released the B button as he did so. His little character in responsestopped charging and unleashed a giant ball of white flame. It flew on astraight past until it crashed into Dirk’s character, knocking him over theedge. Dirk rammed the buttons to try to recover but he was already falling.There was a sad *bloop* and the screen flashed to show him he had lost a life.

“Uh,” Eridan shot him a nervouslook. “Sorry?” Dirk stared back at him with a deadpan expression as hischaracter respawned. “Dirk?”

Dirk clicked his controller in acomplex combination. His little character uppercut Eridan’s into the air, leaptup after him, then slammed him down and offscreen. The screen flashed to showEridan’s lost life. Eridan scowled.

“That was childish.”

“We’re even.” Dirk leaned backon the couch. “C’mon, this time for real.”

Haunt me: EquiJohn.

Equius unlocked the door to hisapartment and stepped inside to find his home had been turned to chaos. Papersflew around the air in a cyclone and his curtains whipped around the wall,threatening to be pulled free. Equius glared at the confusion in irritation,holding his hair back to keep it from flying around in the wind. A ghostly moanrose around him rising and falling in volume.

WhhhoooooOOOOOOOOooooo

 “John,” Equius said.

WOOOOOOOooooooOOOOOOO

 “John.”

WOOOOOOOOOOO

 “Johnathan Egbert,” Equiusbanged his fist against the wall, just enough to avoid denting it, “ceasemaking a mess of my apartment this instant.”

The wind died down with a verynoticeable *huff* of annoyance. The ghostly voice sounded through the walls,but at a softer, more comprehensible level.

Aw, did someone have a bad day at his boring office job?

 “It is not boring.” Equiuspicked his coat-hanger up set his coat on it. “I admire the order andstructure, and the contribution I make to society.” He began to gather up the papersscattered about. A gust of wind scooped them out of reach and up to stack onthe coffee table. Equius sighed and straightened them up, making sure they wereall in order.

Why do you have to work so much? I was booooooored!

 The curtains shook again at thelast words. Equius rolled his eyes and headed into the kitchen.

“You could have listened to somemusic.”

All you have is classical! Ugh! You don’t even have a TV!

 “Television rots the brain.”

So does having a perpetual stick up your ass.

 “Language, John.”

Stick up your butthole.

 “John.”

A whisper of breathy laughterswirled around the room. Equius sighed and grabbed a pan off the wall.

“Nepeta is coming over fordinner,” He spoke out loud to the air, “I will ask you to behave yourself.”

Hmmmm

 Another breeze swirled throughthe room as John turned the request over in his head. Equius sighed again.

“And if you do, we can watch amovie tonight

Deal!

 John chirped almost immediately.Equius couldn’t help a small smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

“It’s a date, then.”

Laughter echoed around thekitchen, then John breezed back him to plant an airy kiss on his lips beforevanishing. Equius blinked rapidly, then shook his head and turned toward hisstove to prepare dinner.

So. Prompt suggestion thing? Experiment AU. Like, Beta Kids are genetically modified humans and hiding in alternia for relative safety and freedom, or each kid panicking internally about being a freak before one of them forgets concealing hat/mask/long sleeves/medicine and they all realize instantly. Idk. Feel free to ignore I guess? Anyways. Yeah. Writing Anon/Maid of Void.

Aaaaaaa???? yes totally this would be such a cool au.

Consider: Rose glows. They were attempting to graft a human with like a jellyfish, probably? Gave her tendrils from maybe just behind her neck (think Assassination Classroom) and her skin glows sometimes. Or, well, it glows when she doesn’t take her medicine. She’s pale enough that if it’s sunny she can pass it off as the sun reflecting off her, but she wears gloves and full-cover clothing all the time in an attempt to hide it. Meeting Kanaya - who is, of course, a rainbow drinker - is great because glowing!!!! girlfriends!!!!

Jade wears hats everywhere, usually those wide-brimmed farmer-style ones? She does it to hide her dog ears. There’s nothing wrong with that, though! It’s a perfectly normal thing to do, and Jade is a perfectly normal person, even if she never ever takes her hat off and will kill anyone who tries to make her. Nepeta’s cat ear horn’s and tail are really cute and fun though and she lets Nepeta take off her hat once!! They have the cutest fucking friendship and eventually Jade asks Nepeta to be her QPP and then realises that oh fuck she asked Nepeta to be the human equivalent of Moirails with her. They just stay friends for a while but end up dating and it’s cute as all fuck.

I can’t think of anything for Dave and John and am currently too lazy to do so but have these two cute girls and their partners!!

I drew my girlfriends ( @sorrowsstars ) fursona! Meow!

I would like to request you to request kR to request Shogun to request Cohen to request Andrew Hussie to request some random homeless person to request Dril to bork a new land, not one related to homestuck or classpects in any way into existence so that someone on there can request sorrowsstars to request aM to do the things previously mentioned in earlier versions of this ask. Thanks!! ::3

....Well I know how to pass the buck here.@sburb-karmicretribution

[isroselalondebisexual]

i will not reveal my identity. /\/\(0w^^)/\/\ (sorrowsstars)

:D :D :D :D :D :D

[penultimateapogee]

@sorrowsstars i’m all about (vriska) but vriska? her hubris always makes her place herself above others, which leads her to do things that nullify the redeeming factors going for her. if she could realize the consequences her actions have on others, i’d probably like her, but she’s too blinded by her own ego. the only things keeping me from yeeting her into the sun are (vriska)’s display of her potential for goodness and terezi’s moiraillegience

i had a better idea… instead of shipping with just calliope… why not callie and roxy? tbh i was just lowkey in denial about lovin roxy and they’re practically canon anyway so this is… brilliant

[callmearcturus]

As one of the (relatively) good anons, most of us understand when a blog doesn't allow anon commenting. Especially if they've been having anon assholes trying to shat discourse at them for a while. Know that if the better of the anons won't be hurt by anon commentry being off, if you care about that sort of thing. Idk -/(0-0)\-

Then I thank you for understanding. It’s much appreciated, especially lately.

[felinedetached]

You never did care.

Not throughout the game. It’s like you were just a reader, one of the second class players. The others had their issues, but John Egbert only ever got really angry at a douchebag bird and a skullface murderer. Two displays of genuine negative emotion in three years. Seems about right.

It’s only afterwards that you realize how broken you really are. Most kids cry at the death of a parent.

You aren’t really saddened by this revelation at first. More so you felt blank. Like always. A fake character in the most real story you know.

It’s when you don’t react to the death of Dad Crocker that your friends start to worry. Talking about stuff with you becomes awkward. You slowly stop hanging out with anyone. You start to spend more time as the wind.

It’s Aradia that actually starts to make sense with her theories. Apparently you’re acting like you’re dead. Huh. Better call the Ghostbusters!

When the slow decay of the world eventually kills the rest of the godtiers, you realize that you weren’t actually the alpha timeline after all. You collect all of your dead friends and put them in the same dream bubbles together, because your nice like that! But you never actually die.

You eventually go hang out with a couple of other Johns, in the more permanent dream bubbles that you’ve all helped create. None of them are like you, but a couple know where you’re coming from, so it’s better than anything else.

It’s only when your session gets chosen for Reincarnation that you realize exactly how broken you are. No one else can remember but you. Huh.

Eventually, you give up trying to understand. You never really interact with most of your session. The cl0sest you get is the occasional jam with Aradia.

Y0u d0n’t really mind.

Idk about the qualities inherent in my writing. It tends to be at least slight portions that are pretensious.

Also sup, I’m actually going to attempt to be an not anxiety-riddle n00b and show account to thee for once.

hello my anon friend :0 your writing is amazing as always, and maladjusted ghost john is always a good choice for angst :3 (as is dirk)

this is very intruiging :0
