#version of egbert!! :D

[shutupeiffel]

why are you putting on my dash people named egbert and dob should I be worried

They're characters from a D&D show that was originally intended to just be a one off joke game (a la TAZ) which unfortunately meant half the players involved put about two seconds thought into their characters names. By contrast, the other three party members are a pirate rogue named Corazon de Leon (later de Balleena), a tiefling warlock named Prudence, and an elf druid named Merilwen.

Dob's player literally once described his own character's name as "something that sounds like someone came up with it in a panic when asked for a name"

Anyway the campaign they are from ended up lasting over five years and is now having an Epic Final Season to say a temporary goodbye to the characters, and you should absolutely either watch the episodes on Youtube or listen to the audio only versions (with added commentary) wherever you prefer to listen to podcasts. It's an amazing show, and there's a magic seal called Seal Gaiman (so like, the names get better)

JANE: ...

ROXY: JANE!!!!!

ROXY: ur wake!

JANE: Roxy?????

JANE: U'r alive!

JANE: Er, you're!

ROXY: so are you!

ROXY: you were dead last time i saw you and also before i found u sleepin here but now ur awake and also alive!

JANE: Yeah!

JANE: You were dead too, because I...

JANE: But now you're??

JANE: Oh god, Roxy, I'm so sorry I,

JANE: I wasn't thinking straight when...

JANE: Please forgive me. :(

ROXY: aw janey you dont gotta worry about whatever sad incident that frowns about

ROXY: thats all water under a bridge from a reality i got no recollection of and therefore dont matter at all

ROXY: by which i mean......

ROXY: this reality here, so ok the reality is still KIND of relevant because we are literally inside of it atm

ROXY: but im new here!

ROXY: i came over to keep being roxy since the old one died or whatever thru hecka debacles

JANE: That... is quite an explanation!

JANE: Jeez, I missed you.

ROXY: cmere u extravagant bitch!!!

JANE: Hahah!

JANE: (Wait... what?)

JOHN: the hug pile doesn't stop from getting taller.

ROSE: ?

JOHN: the hug pile! there are more hugs, rose.

ROSE: I can see the hugs. I don't understand the pile thing.

JOHN: oh. don't you remember?

JOHN: a funny quote from one of dave's old comics!

ROSE: Ah. Yes, vaguely.

ROSE: It's been a long journey, John.

ROSE: I believe one of the most valuable lessons that comes with growing up is gaining the wisdom that gently informs you when it's time to retire a meme.

JOHN: heh...

JOHN: i guess i never earned that handy badge, or whatever.

JOHN: i like this, though. every time someone wakes up, or pops out of nowhere, it's fun times all over again.

JOHN: i feel like i should be playing reunion bingo.

JOHN: who will be next??

JOHN: my money is on the long awaited and insanely poignant reunion between me and casey the salamander.

ROSE: Surely you mean the dear Viceroy Bubbles Von Salamancer, right?

ROSE: And instead of you, you mean me.

ROSE: That's when the real tears will flow.

JOHN: what do you think she's up to?

ROSE: He.

JOHN: no, she is my beautiful daughter. :p

ROSESPRITE: Something tells me the good Viceroy has been busy.

ROSE: Oh?

ROSESPRITE: I sense he's been... scheming.

ROSESPRITE: Plotting.

ROSESPRITE: Biding his time.

ROSESPRITE: Accruing dark legions.

ROSE: That sure is a thing that would be dumb, if true.

ROSESPRITE: Yeah.

JOHN: hi nanna!

JOHN: jane, i mean.

JOHN: sorry, it's an easy mistake to make, because you're my nanna!

ROXY: lol

ROXY: real smooth shit john

JANE: Hello!

JANE: A pleasure to meet you, John. Or, poppop, as I used to know you.

JOHN: hehe, yeah so i heard!

JANE: You look so...

JANE: Young.

JOHN: thanks!

JOHN: so do you.

JOHN: my nanna, who used to be ashes on my fireplace, regained her old womanly visage when i turned her into a sprite, and she helped me along the way.

JOHN: so nanna is a sprite! did you know that?

JANE: Um... no?

JOHN: i thought you should know that. she's probably around somewhere. i hope you can meet her.

JOHN: oh, also, i'm your son technically. did you know that??

JANE: Yes.

JANE: It is... a pretty strange fact!

JANE: But also pretty cool.

JOHN: yup!

ROXY: ooh jane thats my daughter there say hi to her!!!

JANE: Hi!

ROSE: Hi, John's hot mom.

ROSE: (Aw shit.)

JANE: Haha...?

ROXY: also thats umm ANOTHER version of rose who died and then i buried and a stupid cat unburied her for some reason and prototyped her

ROXY: so say hello to my cool floaty double daughter!

JANE: Hi, Roxy's hot double daughter.

ROSESPRITE: :D

ROSESPRITE: (Rose Prime, I believe you may have just been owned.)

ROSE: (God damn Dave's contagious-ass Freudian boners.)

JANE: Wow, I feel so out of the loop! Sorry if I still seem disoriented from my... nap, I suppose it was?

JANE: Or impromptu troll-coma.

JANE: Roxy, you have to clue me in on what happened here! Where are Dirk and Jake?

JANE: And for that matter, John, where are your other friends? Oh, Jade! Where is she? Is she still asleep?

ROXY: hey janey that is all like a lot of stuff to say and everything goin on here is faaairly complicated and heavily peopled

ROXY: dont worry ill ease you into comprehending shit again ;)

ROXY: well ok cliff notes are: jake fucked off somewhere and dirk recently fucked off BACK here through a window but he left again pretty quick...

ROXY: dave went with dirk at wherever their fucking off too now, i think to get ready for some swords fightin, and yeah jade is still asleep but a coupla trolls lugged her off somewhere safe for now

ROXY: the REST of the junk im still sorting out myself bcs like i said im new to this exact plane of shenanigans

JANE: Yes, you mentioned that.

JANE: I still don't know what you meant by...

JANE: Wait!

JANE: You and John came from another reality, where everything went horribly, right?

ROXY: m-hmmm!

JANE: I just remembered. Really, it's been such a rollercoaster ride for my memory, since I fell asleep.

JANE: Your and John's travels were a critical part of the illustrated story we reconstructed through our memories with Callie.

ROXY: wat!

ROXY: you saw callie in your dreams????

JANE: I did!

ROXY: hoh man

ROXY: how is she!

ROXY: i saw her in a dream a little while ago and we talked about lots of stuff

ROXY: she looked like a troll then

JANE: Yes, her trollsona! She had hers on when I saw her.

JANE: And we had ours on too!

ROXY: :O FUCK

JANE: She seemed to be doing well.

JANE: Nervous, of course, since she was hiding. But we passed the time with our stories.

JANE: It was a lot of fun! I'm so happy I got to meet her.

JANE: I wonder if I'll ever get the chance again?

ROXY: wellll...

JOHN: yeah!

JOHN: oh man, that's a great idea roxy.

JOHN: you should try and give it to her as soon as you can!

JOHN: then maybe we can all meet her before we ramp up for this battle?

ROXY: hmm yeh!

ROXY: u think i can do it?

JOHN: sure!

ROSE: I like your chances too.

ROSESPRITE: Same!

JASPERSPRITE: Me too roxy! :3

ROSE: I also have some experience helping people along in the right direction, when it comes to navigating the abyss.

ROSE: Maybe I could assist?

ROXY: yeah maybe!

ROSESPRITE: I'm pretty sure I have experience performing literally the exact same task, in a slightly different context.

ROSESPRITE: So maybe I can double assist?

JOHN: see roxy? everyone thinks you should do it, because they all believe in you.

JANE: That's right!

ROXY: shucks fuckers ._.

ROXY: yall killin me here <3

JASPERSPRITE: Meow im so happy!

ROXY: frigglish u silly bastard whats up?

[stickthisbig]

So! I've had longfic on the brain, so I decided to do a roundup of all my long Oxventures fic. Under the cut, you can find links and discussion to all my Oxventure stories and series that are over 10k words. There are so much more of them than I expected, but this is the fandom where I really started writing long stories as a default rather than an exception.

the deep (51076 words, Kasimir/Edvard/Zillah, Barnaby/Lilith)

Barnaby has to get married precipitously, and that's how all the trouble starts. I think this is genuinely the best thing I've ever written? I'm my own worst critic, and I'm really pleased with it.

it's just the ride of your life (44690 words, Corazon/Prudence)

After an accident with a Wish spell, Corazon ends up as a cleric of the Yellow King. I'm hugely pleased with this story; it really gets in the weeds with D&D mechanics, and it was very satisfying. Fun fact: Drash and Malachite are characters my buddy and I played in a one-shot.

my name written next to yours (40061 words, Merilwen/Egbert, Corazon/Prudence)

Merilwen makes an error in judgment, and she and Egbert have to get married. I did not mean for this story to be as long as it is, but it's all for Popular Character Ilranos. I maintain Egbert's summoning is one of the best scenes I ever wrote.

The Alien (32446 words, Kasimir/Edvard/Zillah, Kasimir/Edvard, Kasimir/Barnaby)

If the Hobbyhorses had a coin for every time someone was replaced with a younger version of themselves, they'd have three coin. These weren't originally meant to be connected, but it worked better this way. And of course, the most powerful force in all the realms is lesbian breakup drama.

high road (34273 words, Kasimir/Edvard/Zillah, Barnaby/Lilith, Barnaby/OFC)

Kasimir, Edvard, and Zillah fall backwards into a relationship, and then they go into exile. All of my heart is already on the page with this one, so I will say instead that I do think that Marjorie and Claire became best friends, and Marjorie also calls Claire her sister, just to skeeve people out.

component parts (31429 words, Kasimir/Edvard/Zillah)

Dunno what to say about this story, actually. It's the only story I've written where Kasimir is healed, and also the only one with a collaring scene. They aren't related.

the whole world hinges on your swings (21546 words, Purvis/Margot, Purvis/his DiJi girlfriend)

Margot needs stress relief, and Purvis readily volunteers. This was very cathartic to write.

no subtitle (20079 words, Kasimir/Edvard/Zillah, implied Agent 47/Diana Burnwood)

Agent Z gets handled. A crossover with a fandom I know next to nothing about, but I think it went okay.

try (not) to see it my way (18767 words, Corazon/Prudence)

It has been 0 days since Corazon was last cursed. I really love "I could make him worse" sorts of codependent romantic entanglements in my stories. Delicious.

you're only as big as your battles (18083 words, Kasimir/Edvard/Zillah et al)

Kasimir meets Edvard and Zillah at a dungeon. I rarely write modern AU in this fandom, but this was very satisfying to write. I really liked engaging with Kasimir as an old man (even though he's not old).

unembarrassed (16159 words, Kasimir/Edvard/Zillah, Barnaby/Lilith)

Man idk what to tell you, Edvard's got a huge dick and Barnaby slut shames Lilith. I think initially these were meant to be unrelated, but they work thematically, I feel.

what I believe in I'd rather not say (15968 words, Barnaby/Lilith)

Barnaby doesn't join a sex cult that worships a snake god. I had a blast writing this tbh, and I still want to make Lilith's dress.

Hell For Leather (15574 words, Prudence/Dob/Corazon)

The gang has to go undercover at that kind of party. Sometimes you write a story because you want to wallow in all the sumptuous detail. Also I still think the youtuber clothing shop is fucking hysterically funny.

flawed (19511 words, Barnaby/Lilith, Kasimir/Edvard/Zillah)

Lilith is absolutely heartless, until she isn't. I really liked playing around with the expectations of what it takes to be a dom in this one.

Deferred Maintenance (13842 words, Kasimir/Edvard/Zillah)

They come back to Volisport and have to move on with their lives. I will make all of you love Gizmo or die trying.

downtime activities (13587 words, Kasimir/Edvard/Zillah)

Kasimir, Edvard, and Zillah get stranded in a safehouse. I like this one a lot; I think I really captured the paranoia and stuffiness of being trapped inside for months. No idea why I'd be writing about that.

silver bells and shotgun shells (12575 words, Kasimir/Zillah, Kasimir/Edvard/Zillah)

Kasimir and Zillah have a big/little relationship, and Edvard joins in. The extent to which Edvard absolutely commits to the bit is so important, and I never see bigs or littles in fanfic that aren't just daddy and baby girl.

pebbles on water (12297 words, Kasimir/Edvard/Zillah)

Kasimir leaves Volisport for Skovlan, or does he? This one is just so damn sad, and I wished dearly to make everyone sad with me.

Eye Opener (11377 words, Dob/Corazon, Everyone/Everyone)

Corazon invents pornography. I really wanted to engage with Dob as an artist, because I think he has this side to him that isn't quite so over the top. Also yes this is the one the Oxbox account reblogged the art of.

they never, ever seem to fit (11366 words, Brad/Killian)

Everybody lives, and Brad decides that Killian is his boyfriend. There is so much of me in this; I love mindfuck and the trousers of time and I am still extremely angry about how Michael Sam was treated. I may have extended this to 10k just to capture this one.

Hell Raiser (11127 words, Prudence/Dob/Corazon)

Cthulhu demands that Prudence give him an heir, Prudence demands that Corazon give her his genetic material, and Dob gets everybody out of it. My first fic in the fandom! Start as you mean to go on.

they all suppose what they want to suppose (10494 words, Prudence/Corazon)

Corazon has to go to pirate court and tells everyone that the crew are his concubines. I don't think fanfic has enough of competence kink Corazon? Corazon is a peacock, but he's also incredibly good at his job. So, pirate stuff.

[catabolic-seeds]

little thing but i love how you handle john/june, as a tmasc john kinnie i like that you don’t erase their original identity because even outside of my kin i think egbert is very genderfluid and is still chill with masc presentation…. anyways that’s all i just like how much variety you do! :D

I have lots of headcanons for jegbert! Both transmasc and transfem :-) i like to sprinkle in variety with what I do ! it’s a little inside joke of mine that every alternate version of jegbert has a different gender to some degree, every time they meet another version they end up having to sort that out lol. but thank you so much !! <3

[i-am-why]

Day 6

Jerb’s dad, Dr. D. B. Egbert otherwise known as “Dr. Dad” by Jerb.He was an Enron executive under the job of “Fraud management” before he lived with Jerb. He also took on B-move action plots after the dissipation of Enron eventually becoming a criminal to the Betty Crocker empire. After which he had hid in a random house in the middle of nowhere hiding from the horrors of earth B.

He fights using his gold credit  card, a reference to the move “The Glimmer man”.Dr. Dad seems to have a ton of references to steven segal in particular, his design seems to be some mashup between his younger and older self. But segal isn't the only inspiration, it also seems like he was the canonical version of the “Dr. brinner ghost psychiatrist” rumor that was spread around on the mspa forums. There isn't much known about it but there is a tv tropes page on it. Some of it may have leaked into a diagetic webcomic in the gamma session.

er okay tavros just tried to make jade his girl friend without even really knowing her and he was being really annoying and kind of an asshole while doing it and then she let him down nicely but then vriska was like bro that was the worst thing i have ever seen and was very VERY mean to him about it (maybe even more than he deserved) and then admitted to being the reason why jack noir is a super powerful evil creature now AND BONUS SHE GOT A VERSION OF DAVE KILLED >:((((

i dont wanna dwell on that though because one of my favorite parts of the comic is coming up right now :3

fun fact: "heir transparent" "doctor" and "planet healer" are all songs of john egbert :D

ANYWAY ITS TIME FOR ANOTHER GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!YESSSSSSSSILOVE GAMING !!!! SBURB

8888)

he did it :)

i think this is a good place to end this one . general thoughts right now? huge. pog. things are happening. plans are being formed. i kind of glossed over them but rose and dave are planning to explode the green sun. john just went god tier. and jade is finally in. on the trolls side of things we finally understand why their session went wrong at the last moment, but it seems like even more has gone wrong since weve seen them last? feferi is dead. tavros wants to kill vriska. what could possibly happen next. tune in next time . i dont know when it will be. probably tomorrow. what with all the waiting i'll be doing.

[treetownconfessions]

someone write a study about this because i also tried once and it was so bad i gave up .

The problem with trying to introduce a third party with Flippy/Fliqpy's name choice is that there are only so many "rules" you can abide by before you're desperately scrounging the entire alphabet for something that'll sound decent. Fliqpy’s name was done by replacing the first p in Flippy's name with the letter q, both because it's a flipped version of p as a play on words for his position in the show, and because it's the letter right after p in the alphabet.

If we apply these "rules" to the name-making, we have like, three options.

a. The name's lettering has to be significant to who they are compared to Flippy, since he's the host and Fliqpy’s entire gag is being the "flipped" version of Flippy. It's already very on the nose and easy to decipher, so I'm not sure how you'd do that with other letters. I'm open to suggestions.

b. The name's lettering has to be a variation of the p shape, since that's what q is, which leaves us b and d. "Flibpy" and "Flidpy" are definitely names! They're not good ones.

c. The name's lettering has to be next to the letter p (and q, I guess) in the alphabet. This leaves us with o, the letter before p, and r, the letter after q. "Fliopy" and "Flirpy" are equally terrible names.

The fourth unspoken rule is just grabbing any letter from the alphabet and putting it in. I have, in fact, tried this. Even if you're placing it on the second p it just doesn't work out. So, yeah, I guess you're stuck with Flippy, Fliqpy, and John Egbert.

I just got to Jake sending the robot bunny back in time for John

Yeah so you're not there yet for sure. Again you'll know when it happens. It's. Uh. It's kind of hard to miss.

How do you feel about GUY FIERI AND THE CLOWN GOVERNMENT though. There's a whole little community of people who have huge thoughts about the alpha versions of- usually the strilondes, but sometimes alpha jade and alpha egbert are in there too.

You've got some really fucked up reveals in the next uhhhh 200 pages or so. Get ready for some big Callie emotions :D

Happy 4/13 everyone!! :D

John Egbert, Vriska Serket

Act 5, page 3949-3953

EB: i remember now.

EB: i was tricked by a troll into flying up to the last gate, using this rocket pack.

EB: she said i could take a shortcut and go kill my denizen while he was sleeping.

EB: it...

EB: did not quite work out that way.

AG: This sounds like Terezi's handiwork.

EB: i don't know. she didn't tell me her name.

EB: she was a blind troll. she made me this incredibly shitty map for me to follow!

AG: Yep. That's her.

AG: I guess she got 8oth of us then. Un8elieva8le.

EB: she tricked you too?

AG: Yes.

AG: Well, not tricked, so much as made a pointless coin flip and sta88ed me in the 8ack.

EB: wow. that's pretty cold blooded!

AG: Oh, sure. She was easily the most underhanded and villainous mem8er of our group.

AG: 8ut I did let my guard down. And even when she sta88ed me, I sure didn't think I was going to die.

EB: why not?

AG: It turns out immortality isn't all it's cracked up to 8e. Let's leave it at that.

EB: hmm...

EB: so i guess you never got around to giving me immortality like you said? or killing me, for that matter.

EB: sounds like the blind troll beat you to it.

AG: No, I did! 8ut........

AG: Ugh, this will 8e hard to explain to you.

EB: explain what?

AG: Haha. I guess in her own sick way, she actually set us up on this d8 together.

AG: May8e I should thank her whenever she falls asleep? Or dies, god for8id.

EB: so...

EB: now it is a date?

AG: I don't know.

AG: I said it wouldn't 8e unless you remem8ered. And now you remem8er.

AG: 8ut you still don't remem8er me, do you?

EB: nope.

AG: Yeah, thought so.

AG: This version of you died 8efore I started messing with you. Not that I expect you to understand what that means.

EB: no, i get that.

EB: if i had decided not to take the shortcut, i would have lived. and then you would have talked to me a lot?

AG: Yes, that's right.

AG: I guess I should have learned to give you more credit 8y now.

EB: well, i might not have figured that out, if not for...

EB: some things that just happened.

AG: I still can't 8elieve I'm meeting a version of you that doesn't remem8er a thing a8out me. None of my gr8 exploits, or any of the ways I helped you. Only that one stupid time I taunted you!

AG: It's a vaguely frustr8ing feeling.

EB: sorry... not sure what to tell you!

AG: So you remem8er literally nothing I told you a8out myself? Not even the, uh........

AG: Compromising stuff?

EB: well, you did just show me around your planet. which was really cool!

EB: ... there's compromising stuff?

AG: Your species would think so. 8ut I guess it doesn't matter anymore.

EB: i guess not.

EB: but who says we can't get to know each other again?

AG: You wouldn't find that 8oring?

EB: no way! not if you wouldn't.

EB: you said the name of the blind troll who killed us, but you have not told me yours yet.

AG: I haven't?

EB: no.

AG: ........

AG: It's Vriska.

EB: nice to meet you, vriska.

EB: i am john! even though you know that.

AG: Yes.

EB: so now what do we do? aside from be dead for probably ever.

AG: Man, I don't know.

AG: May8e,

AG: You could tell me a8out how you died?

AG: What were the "things that just happened" you were talking a8out?

EB: well, like i said, i flew up to the last gate. like this.

EB: oh, nice boots!

AG: ::::D

EB: it brought me inside the palace.

EB: it was huge, and it took a long time to explore. it was eerily empty too.

EB: i had that weird feeling of getting to a place in a video game you are not supposed to be yet, because you don't have the right powerups and such.

EB: you know what i mean?

AG: Not really.

AG: I'm used to taking shortcuts whenever I play games.

EB: oh, ok.

EB: so, i started getting crazy nervous the longer i was down here, and i was starting to wonder if my silly iron pogo hammer would even do any damage against the monster.

AG: *Snort.*

EB: what?

AG: Against a denizen? Of course that piece of shit isn't going to do anything.

AG: If I were you, I would have chucked it into the forge.

EB: excuse me, it is called the wrinkle fucker, and it is totally amazing.

AG: It might 8e alright if you com8ined it with something awesome.

AG: Like some cool dice, for instance.

EB: that's so absurd, like anything like that would ever even happen!!!

AG: What's this?

EB: i found it very deep in the palace dungeon. i was wandering for hours, following a horrible sound through the pipes.

EB: i could tell typheus was really close, because it was very loud here. it could only be the sound of him sleeping.

EB: i was so tempted to play it, but i didn't dare risk waking him up!

EB: pretty much by then i was sweating bullets at the thought of confronting him.

AG: You were right to 8e nervous. Denizens are incredi8ly powerful monsters. You had no chance whatsoever at this stage of the game.

AG: You might have stood a chance after I started helping you. 8ut Terezi really screwed you over 8y leading you here so early.

EB: yeah...

EB: i guess if i ever see her, i should thank her too.

AG: Why?

EB: because this was important.

AG: What was? Getting killed 8y a monster?

EB: well, yes. but not just that.

EB: the whole ruse was important!

EB: if i didn't make the decision to go, then dave would not be able to go back in time and fix things.

EB: in fact, if i didn't die here in this palace, we never would have been born in the first place!

AG: How could you know all that?

EB: this way...

AG: This denizen does not look asleep to me.

EB: nooope.

EB: he was wide awake when i found him. i practically crapped my pants!

AG: Well, that explains your quick death. If your denizen was anything like mine, it wouldn't have wasted much time 8efore unleashing a huge shitstorm of devast8ing monster magic.

EB: what was your denizen like?

AG: Her name was Cetus.

AG: She was this awful sea monster. Her lair was deep underground amidst a 8unch of shipwrecks. She was quite vicious and territorial. I knew I had to kill her quickly to release the hoard, 8efore she had the chance to do anything tricky.

EB: what do you mean, tricky?

EB: did she talk to you?

AG: Oh, of course. She was 8a88ling in riddles through most of the fight. I wasn't paying much attention though. I mean, what creature DOESN'T speak in 8oring riddles in this game?

EB: so, is that what you all did?

EB: kill your denizens as fast as possible, without listening to them?

AG: Yeah, pretty much. We were all pretty good players, remem8er?

EB: yes, so i've heard.

AG: Well........

AG: Ok, I can't exactly speak for everyone. There was a lot going on, and I don't know how some people went a8out 8eating their denizens.

AG: For instance, I'm not sure how our hero of 8reath did it. May8e the monster just released the hoard for him out of pity????????

EB: maybe he just talked to his denizen?

AG: If there was a way to avoid a tough 8attle, I'm sure he found it.

AG: It sounds like a good way to cheat yourself out of a lot of sweet xp and loot though.

EB: i dunno. you might be surprised!

AG: John, are you saying you had a nice friendly chat with this hideous, 8loodthirsty creature 8efore he killed you?

EB: yes!

EB: typheus may not be pretty to look at...

EB: but he is not a bad guy at all!

EGBERT VS. ALIENS

hi :D this is a bit of a redraw of egbert filming an alien abduction. original was from 2019, but honestly i thought i came from at least 2017 for some reason until i checked the OG date 💀

i "had" (read: wanted) to redo it since im getting a new credit card. i figured it might as well have an updated photo of art growth as well. that, plus i love women :D

feel free to use as a pfp or anything, just reblog plis so i know 💕

2019 version & unedited 2022 version will be under the cut <3

[technofantasia]

post your scrimblo bimblos and so forth for homestuck.

:'0 ASKS FOR AN ASK GAME.......... THANK U also @rystonlentil bc you also asked for homestuck so i shall DELIVER in my TYPICAL WORDY FASHION

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most): John. Definitely. I love John Egbert so much anybody who says he's boring is WRONG because he's NOT BORING he's just nice and generally likable and represses everything all the time so his problems don't seem as interesting but they ACTUALLY ARE INTERESTING. I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL JUSTICE FOR MY EGG SON

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped): .........Karkat. Yes he's an asshole but he's also so sensitive and a raging tsundere and he needs affection in the cold cruel world he lives and he's so good and I want to hug him So Bad

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave): Excluding John from this category bc he's already my blorbo... mmmm probably Sollux! I love Sollux like a lot and people just don't talk about him much. He's really funny and what we get of his character in canon is extremely appealing to me! And people do wonders with him in fanfiction, too. He's like a more assholish version of Dave, ilhsm. Definitely got the short end of the canon stick

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week): The Signless!! Really I just love all the ancestors an odd amount but The Signless specifically. Yeah sure he never actually got a single line of dialogue (unless you count a heavily implied "fuck") but his place in the story is just so interesting and you can assume so many interesting things about what he must have been like from context, his association with Karkat, and his association with Kankri, that I just adore reading things about him. Signless-era Alternia is such a great setting and The Signless himself, written any number of ways, is just so gooood

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave): Like ok I could be obvious here and say that I actually really like Vriska, but I feel like that'd be boring. Everyone has a strong opinion on Vriska. Everyone knows why people like her, everyone knows why people hate her. Nonono, I'll double up on the fun and say I actually really like Caliborn. I haven't seen anybody who likes him!! But yeah I think he's absolutely hilarious, is entertaining every second he's onscreen, and has a surprising amount of pathos for a character that's meant to be unapologetically evil and just all around a horrible person. Near the end of Homestuck I was highkey hoping for a Caliborn heel-face turn actually (and had, like, theories and stuff to back it up, too)! Really feel like the ending stiffed him of his potential. But I'm probably literally the only person who thinks that lol

...Or.... actually I'm totally cheating by technically putting 3 characters here but also, Eridan would totally fit in this spot for me, too. I really like Eridan and felt he had a lot of potential if he'd just been given an opportunity to grow up a bit more and recognize the fucked up thought processes his upbringing instilled in him.

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason): This is just any of my favorite characters in other categories. I love putting my favorite characters in immense pain!! That's what fandom is about babey

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell): Gamzee goes to superhell for the crime of having his entire character ruined beyond recognition halfway through the comic. I really love Gamzee pre-murderstuck and both his character and everything it could have stood for got mutilated afterwards, making him By Far the worst character in the comic (in terms of, he wasn't entertaining and I didn't like when he was onscreen). It's tragic and worthy of an eeby-deebying imho

THANK YOU FOR ASKING!!! :D

The Sites of Seth

― Distribution of the Land. Lands of Seth

Geb, the Earth god, arbitrated between the confrontations of the Two Contenders (Horus and Seth) and decided to grant the Upper Egypt to Seth because it was the land where the god was born; and the Lower Egypt to Horus, for it was the land where his father had drowned (Lichteim1975, p.52). Hereinafter, Geb changed his mind and decided to bestow the entire land to the son of Osiris. The Horus myth of Edfu (Egberts 1997) tells that Seth complained and challenged his nephew to be finally defeated. Geb took pity on Seth and his allies, and sent them to the four cardinal points becoming, thus, the patriarchs of the lands surrounding Egypt: Kushites to the south, Asiatics to the north, Libyans to the west and Bedouins to the east (Egberts1997, p.50). This could be an account for the strong association between Seth and the foreign countries.

― Cult of Seth in Upper Egypt

Seth is given the title of “Lord of the Nile Valley Land” in the Pyramid Texts (Allen 2005, PT 155). There were cities and temples devoted to Seth until, apparently, the XXV Dynasty when the cult of Seth became extinct (Redford 2002, p.264), at least in the Nile Valley. Due to the frequent instability during the Intermediate Periods, the areas involved in these cities do not always correspond with the geographical boundaries, arranged by the Ptolemies and called nomes. Hence, I have arranged the cities considering the course of the Nile with disregard of the Ptolemaic organization. 

― Seth Lord of Ombos

There are two cities linked with “Seth Lord of Ombos”. One is the modern Kôm Ombo, 42 km south of Assuan, on the eastern bank of the Nile. The other is about 4 km on the northwest of the modern Tukh, in the area of Ballas called Ombos. The name of the former in Egyptian hieroglyphs is nbwty and the latter is nebwt (Daressy 1917, p.80). Ombos/Nebwt, was an important bastion for Seth and his followers during the Predynastic period around 3300 b.C. (Wilkinson 1999, p.37). Petrie (1896) found in this site the remains of an old city and a temple devoted to Seth. There are three steles from this temple exhibited in the Manchester Museum. One of them is the Anhotep Stele, where Seth appears as ‘Lord of Nebwty’ referring Kom Ombo:

According to Brugsch (1879, p.318) Seth was worshiped in Kom Ombo under the shape of the crocodile Sobek, deem to be the son of Seth (te Velde 1967, p.150). As we will see, crocodiles and hippopotamus were usually considered manifestations of the god Seth. Another piece from Naqada temple of Seth is located at Petrie Museum, London. Seth is featured standing in front of an offering table with an inscription reading: ‘Seth of Nebwt’, alluding Seth of Ombos (web 7). In the main deposit of this temple, Petrie found pieces out of alabaster with inscriptions describing the labor of enlargement made by Tutmosis III, who is mentioned as: “The good god Menkheperra, beloved of Seth of Nebwt”. In a lintel of the Temple, Seth is referred as ‘Seth of Nebwty, Lord of the Southern Land” (Petrie 1896, Pl LXXIX). In a round topped stele, now at the Glyptotek museum, a bull headed winged Seth is called “Bull of Nebwty”. The bull used to be an icon of Seth: in the Leyden Papyrus, “the son of Nwt” (which is a common epithet of Seth) is called “Bull of the night, Bull of Bull”(Griffith 1974, p.80).

― Seth Lord of Wnw and Nashenw

These two cities are sited about 50 km north of Denderah, close to the modern Kasr es-Sayed. Seth is referred as the lord of these two cities, in an inscription engraved in the inner side of the exterior wall at Medinet Habu (Gardiner 1947, p.53).

― Seth Lord of Tjebw

Tjebw (Tbw) was the capital city of the X Ptolemaic nome called wADt. Ancient Greeks called it Anteopolis (the city of the giant Anteus) and was settled on the east bank of the Nile. In latter times, the name of the city changed into Djw-Ka (Dw-qa), ‘the high mountain’ (Barguet 1964, p.8), Qau el-Kebir in Arabic. The original deity of this nome was Antewy, portrayed as a double falcon on a boat and assimilated to Seth, as we can see in the stele of Nakht (XVIII Dynasty):

According to Teeter (2003,p.42): “This dual identity is a reflection of the belief that a god could have more than one nature, and that he or she could have the attributes of several deities in order to express the extender power of the god”. This approach is important because all throughout the northern part of Upper Egypt we find the double falcon as the emblem of many cities that could be ancient centers of Seth cult. Over time, the cult of Seth was put aside and replaced by the double falcon, representing the reconciliation between both Horus and Seth (te Velde 1967, p.68). An inscription was found at Qâu showing the priest title sHtp nTrwy, that is to say, ‘Reconciling the two gods’ (Gardiner 1947, p. 53). According to latter versions of the myth, the battle between Horus and Typhon (Seth for the Romans) took place on the river bank close to this city, which was eventually destroyed completely. Today is El-Etmaniyah (Gardiner 1947, p.49). There was a cult to the Sethian animal, the hippopotamus, at Tjebu from the Predynastic period (Lang 1980, p. 361; Gardiner 1947, p.135) shown by a scene of the mayor of Tjebu worshiping a hippopotamus surrounded by papyrus. The inscription here is badly damaged but it could be read as: “Seth, the victorious, the hippopotamus, the Lord of the Tjebw in the nome of wADt” (Brunton 1927, Pl. 32). In the12292 Stele, now at the Oriental Institute in Chicago Illinois, a man called Pa-nehemi stands before Seth as a hippopotamus on pedestal (web 8)
