#sorry this took a bit to answer!!

[samstarium]

What are your classpect headcanons for the omega kids?

ooh ooh ok! so im goin off the theory that the omega kids will "fill in" all the classes and aspects we only have 2 canon players for atm (aka no other humans have them yet)

i talked abt this a bit in a server so im gonna copy over my ideas!! autistic ramblings below

the one that interests me the most atm is vrissy bc theres the assumption she'll b a standard serket and this a light player, but it would b cool to kill the theory that all descendants need have the same aspect. personally i would love for her to stay a thief but b mindbound instead. for a couple reasons

one hs^2 (or hsbc, or whatever) and especially the candy route is abt how the world and thr characters in it have deviated from The Canon and havin vrissy keep her ancestoral title but on the class side instead is like a fun way to show that. its like oh this is not how its supposed to work is it. two i think tyin her to terezi in a way is kinda interesting. bc there's some parallels that could b made (vriska searchin for a scourge sister replacement, vrissy's relationship w/ harry anderson as a mirror for terezi and john?) but it would have to b explored a bit more since she still hasn't been in the canon for very long

as for the others i rlly want tavvy to b rage… i have him as a sylph but im not married to that. i would rlly love to have a male sylph tho! i think his sensibilities could work nicely, and we already have some (if brief) content of him interactin w/ kanaya (https://homestuck2.com/story/336) so there's potential to strengthen their connections and parallels.

for rage like ofc the purple and gamzee shit and everything puts that in my mind automatically but also. as a contrast to his hope parent and his maid parent. bein a sylph of rage just creates such delicious symmetry. hard to see a sylph-y personality just yet but it's a possibility imo, n rage i think can b interpreted from the gamzee corpse shenanigans

harry anderson im unsure of but w/ what we have i suppose bard of doom could work ok. it would b nice to have a bard who wasnt um. Well. yknow. and show some other parts of the class that weren't represented in the 2 canon bards. there's the obvious connection and punnery involving his affinity for musical theater, and his laissez faire approach to life could serve bard functions.

doom… eh. yea idk abt that but i'll take a stab at it. on a thematic level if sollux's doom craft motif is coding, havin his be stitching is kind of cool. like the connection to binary code in thread (https://www.tumblr.com/swords-n-spindles/625244898586755072/the-fibre-stuff-moiraecrochet-synebluetoo) idk. but on a more conceptual level his upbringing could give him some connections to doom, living with roxy who for the longest time was entrenched in the jane propaganda machine (harry as anti-life?).

w/ yiffy left she takes mage of blood. mage kinda iffy since the canon mages r pretty different and only one gives us much to work w/. one thing i will say on mages tho is that both of them r missin a certain sense: sollux sees no evil, meulin hears no evil, and yiffy? well i'd say she doesn't rlly "talk", at least not yet in the traditional sense, so we can complete the proverb and have her as the third mage who speaks no evil

but blood is a lot clearer. blood, bonds, connections, relationships? thats like the whole conflict of her character. i think phrasin it as yiffy "knowing" blood is kind of fun. bc she probably does have a very keen understanding of the complex relationships between the ppl around her (jane and jake and gamzee im sure she knew much of). also the literal connection of blood to her fangs, and cementing the parallels of her and karkles as blood brothers (lol)

OHHHG REQUESTS R OPEN...... mayhaps a shaymin or an espeon... or maybe even a shayminespeon....

Shaymin might just be my favorite grass type EVER... TYSM for the request!! I LOVED how this turned out!!

[zoroshark]

In the drawing where Rauru and Sonia get in the pond or lake or w/e,

I have a quick question, how does Rauru dry off all that hair after??? Does Sonia just rewind time to before his hair was wet??? You have burdened me with questions and I must share them with the world

I have thought about ways Rauru can dry off of all that hair! The time suggestion is a good one, so here are doodles of Sonia helping out with her time powers!

I have the other ideas drawn out, but I'll post them later. This will be part one of the ask!

[theecholegend]

Biting Legend like that corrupted fairy from LU except I'm doing it for fun

Careful, just because you are small doesn't mean Legend won't respond to violence with violence, because he will.

(though he lifted the hat back up almost immediately)

hear me out: rouxls in high heels

yessss

[acethehorseishere]

This isn’t exactly a ‘question’, but in general just appreciation for mm!Ace. I ADORE the way he blurs the line between mastermind and victim. Because yes he’s heavily involved, and yes he’s having a great time. But for each cruel/horrible thing he does I can’t forget that he was basically kidnapped, had a lobotomy forced on him, and underwent who knows what type of ‘training’ to get him on board with this. He’s a horrible person getting sick pleasure out of their suffering, but he’s a victim just as much as they are. Maybe even more so in some ways, because at least the others are confident their thoughts and feelings are their own.

I just. I love the tragedy behind that pretty face and skimpy outfit. Ace is both freer and more trapped than he’s ever been. Freed from the anxiety he’s suffered with for years, but trapped in a web of manipulation he may not be able to recognize anymore. I have so many feelings about him augh!!

Honestly, I'm glad there are people that feel as strongly about this silly little guy as I do. Thank you!

Just one correction, though- he doesn't enjoy the killing game. Or much at all, for that matter. He likewise doesn't care much for everything that happens to the rest of the cast (except for a few exceptions...)

He just acts like he does. He's a host, right? It's his job to be entertaining.

No one wants to see a show where the host is boring. He's a lot less dramatic when he's off-camera.

[castaway-clan]

I just met Coniferpaw and I love them. They and Darkpaw of Surfclan are twinning!! I'll have to draw them together soon, silly big eyed goobers

SAME HAT !

Top 5 archaeological sites in Australia that you feel people should know more about? Or top 5 Australian artefacts?

I feel like I’ve talked a bit about artefacts in a few recent asks, and also I feel like a lot of Australian archaeology (and as such, sites) are very underrated, particularly on a global scale. Its often acknowledged in Australian archaeology that getting international academia to recognise the importance of our country’s archaeology is very very difficult.

While there’s a million and one sites I’d love to talk about, I’m going to TRY and give sites that relate to different aspects and locations

This is probably going to be long, so...

1. Nauwalabila, Madjedbebe (Malakunanja II), and the Deaf Adder Gorge region, Northern Territory (Aboriginal)

Rock shelters in this region, and specifically Madjedbebe, are currently the oldest location of human habitation in Australia. Dating evidence from 2017 excavations provided an estimate of earliest occupation of 50 000 years at certainty, possibly extending back as early as 65 000 (+/-6000). It also has provided a lot of evidence for research into the extensive grind stone technologies of the Pleistocene.

2. Cloggs Cave and the Buchan region of the Victorian Gippsland (Aboriginal)

So much research has been done into this region in various ways. Josephine Flood focused her research on Bogong Moth usage (and festivals) within this region, providing some of the earliest accepted academic research in support of Aboriginal peoples’ claims of large scale Bogong Moth Festivals in Australia’s highlands (although the fac that no one really believed communities until then…………..). In 2021 grind analysis found Bogong Moth residue, making this the earliest stone artefact with evidence of insect food remains. And in addition to that recent 2017 research in the area investigated Holocene occupation with Aboriginal community members, with a focus on understanding the interaction of spirituality with the resources found in the caves.

3. Mabuyag Island, Torres Strait Islands, Queensland (Torres Strait Islander)

Mabuyag Island (alternatively known as Mabuiag or Mabuyaagi) has archaeological evidence of human occupation since 7300 years ago. The island is both associated with recent religious practices associated with he heavy processing of dugong remains, and totemic associations with these, which played a role in early 2000s into community lead and directed archaeological research into ritual and religious traditions and practices. In addition to this, Mabuyag is the location of the first archaeological excavations in Australia to find pre-colonial pottery fragments. The fragments at the two sites on the island were associated with Melanesian and Papua New Guinean pottery trade. The excavations relating to pottery on the island played an important role in our understanding of domestic and international trade in pre-colonial Australia, and also formed an influence for the recent excavations at Lizard Island, 300km south, which identified the first datable domestically made pottery technology found in Australia.

4. Hyde Park Barracks, Sydney, NSW

Hyde Park Barracks is part of a collection of colonial heritage structures in Australia, relating to Australia’s time as a penal settlement. Hyde Park Barracks in particular were the location of the housing of convict men from 1819 to 1830, with the 1830s to 1840s also involving the site being a location of additional convict punishment, and the base for the Board of Assignment of Servants. Following on from a reduction of convicts to NSW in the 1840s, the Barracks became the Female Immigration Depot, and the Orphan Institution, later becoming the Asylum for Infirm and Destitute Women.

This time period of women’s occupation provides some of the most interesting archaeological remains, as redevelopment and management of the site has found high rates of preservation within walls, and in areas below floorboards. This includes textiles and fabrics, papers, and other non-organic materials such as pipes (with their tobacco intact) stashed in what was once floor, wall, and ceiling cavities. Archaeological investigations in the area form one of the most detailed assemblages of artefacts relating to instituted women in the British Empire during the 19th century.

5. Notch Point, Western Australia (Multicultural heritage)

Notch Point is a site of varied and mixed archaeology, ranging from pre- and post- colonial period Aboriginal heritage, to diverse 19th century occupation of the region by Chinese, European, Malay, and Aboriginal peoples in association with pearling industries off the coast. In addition to this, the point is located on Dirk Hartog Island (otherwise known as Wirruwana), the site of the earliest European arrival in Western Australia in 1616, and contains archaeological evidence of both various early Dutch interactions with the island in 1616 and 1697, as well as French arrival in 1772, 1801, and 1818. Notch Point in particular also contains evidence of conflict between the predominantly Chinese population of the pearling industry, with white-Australian and European pearling masters, and pastoral agents. Its not a site that is widely discussed, but provides a fascinating overlay of the amount of varied cultural groups that can be present within Australia’s archaeological sites.

Honourable mentions to:

Lake Mungo and the Willandra Lakes which should 100% be on this list, but also I feel like I talk about it ALL the time and I wanted to mention sites that I actually don’t see discussed a lot. Theyre super important for cultural reasons, for archaeological reasons, and also for their role the development of archaeology, Aboriginal community consultation, and the role its played in developing repatriation practices in modern Australia. I have multiple posts about them HERE

Budj Bin Eel Traps in Victoria (same reasons, I’ve definitely talked about them before).

Juukan Gorge (and its destruction, im still horrified)

Harrietville Chinese Mining Village

Strangway Strings and The Peake Afghan Cameleer sites

Recherche Bay in Tasmania, and its 1792 French settlement sites

Homebush Mill & Mission Hall in QLD and Beowa National Park sites containing South Sea Islander heritage

Ok but watching bake off with Steve while fucking 👀 (he probably gets distracted all honey we should get one of Mary Berry’s books—and after post sex cuddles he’s on Amazon ordering it)

FALSDKFJASD PLEASE 😭😭😭 i can totally see this going one of two ways.

you're having a chill day, relaxing on the couch with steve, watching whatever catches your attention, at some point when bake off is on, you start kissing steve's jaw, your hand sliding down steve's torso, dipping under the waistband of his sweats, and he huffs and his cheeks are pink and he's like "babe not while paul and mary berry are on :/"

OR he's literally inside of you, and you're putty underneath him, when something they say happens to catch his attention??? and he literally like pauses midstroke and glances at the tv and is like "omg that sounds so good. honey, we should totally get one of mary berry's books and make one of her recipes!!" and you're completely dumbfounded, staring at him incredulously, and he totally doesn't understand why you're pinching his bicep and huffing until you say, "steve, i was so close, and you literally stopped to talk about mary berry's baking???" and he giggles and apologizes with a thousand kisses, and makes you cum a few extra times just to make it up to you.

and then, either way, after you're all cleaned up and cuddled up together under blankets, sharing soft kisses, he just gets wide-eyed all of a sudden and is scrambling to find his phone. you're worried something is wrong, but when you ask, he's already pulling up amazon and saying "i was serious about getting one of mary berry's books, baby."

[aghostnamedcalamity]

Hi calamity. Do you think that Joey would continue to be a part of Benjamin's life even when Benjamin is an adult?

Hello! I think he will, but probably not nearly as active like in his childhood. But he’ll be there! Joey did work as an emotional translator of sorts between Mordecai and Benjamin during the times they were clashing the most and, even though Mordecai then strived to be better in that aspect, still is a good shoulder to lean on when Benjamin needs some mental support :)
