surprise i’ve been alive all this time. i have like four active blogs right now but i’ve had a dozen over the years. i was 15 when i started the homestuck blog, i’m 24 now and soon to graduate with a master’s degree. hope you’re all well!
that’s not quite what i had in mind but you know what??? i can relate to this skeleton. i mean, it looks like it doesn’t know what the fuck it’s doing, but it’s still havin a good time. just sorta poking its head out and then punching its limbs through the soft soil one by one going “AYYYYY” instead of rising majestically or digging its way out like a sensible unperson.
it’s a decent visual metaphor for what’s about to happen here, because, to reiterate:
this is NO LONGER a proper homestuck liveblog. those days are OVER. what i’m doing now is reviewing pictures of skeletons while occasionally skipping through bits of homestuck and throwing a few lines of (emotional, not analytical) commentary on this here “blog” so as to not leave you all hanging completely after sticking with me for like three years.
i was fifteen when i made this tumblr account. tomorrow, i will be eighteen!
fittingly, it seems like we’ll also have started and ended at approximately the same level of quality, which is to say, absolutely none, despite the initial rise in readability we experienced… sometime around the one-year-mark?
anyway, let’s do a lil bit of pre-birthday blogging!
YO!!! I’M AT A CON AND AFTER THAT I’M GOING ON HOLIDAY, SO I WON’T BE AROUND FOR LIKE… 10 DAYS? I’M SORRY AND I’LL RETURN TO YOU ALL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IN THE MEANTIME, PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF IN THIS HORRIBLE HEAT ( ;´ ᗨ `; )
SCREAMING HOMESTUCK POWER HOUR #7: LAST ONE FOR THE DAY
I DON’T GOT MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THIS TWIST EXCEPT IT’S NICE, AND ELEGANT, AND I DIDN’T REALLY SEE IT COMING, AND, ON A COMPLETELY UNRELATED(?) NOTE, I HAVE A HUGE HEADACHE
I’M REAL GLAD WE GET TO MEET BIZARRO GOTH GIRL but first i’m gonna drop a little confession here cause all this screentime with female characters made me realise something…
A HOPEFULLY LIGHT-HEARTED JAB AT THE FANDOM, I GUESS.
KARKAT♡VRISKA: POTENTIALLY STRANGELY INTO IT TBH NEP, HOWEVER, IS NOT, BECAUSE KARKAT♡NEPETA: OH NOOOO CREEPY-LOOKIN ARADIA♡WHAT LIES BEYOND THE PANEL BORDER: OTP ARADIA♡EQUIUS: EEEWWWWWWW GAMZEE♡TEREZI: NOT SERIOUS AT ALL, BUT ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE GA♡TAVROS: EH, NO.
LOOK, JUST LOOK AT ALL THESE HET SHIPS. GOD DAMN, NEPETA, STEP UP YOUR GAME. DIVERSIFY A LIL. YAWN. TEREZI/VRISKA MAKES WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY MORE SENSE THAN KARKAT/VRISKA, BUT NOOoo
what’s the diamonds on the right side supposed to mean, though? context-wise, i’d say they’re friend-ships? only noteworthy thing there is Karkat/Gamzee which is V GOOD!!! EXCELLENT!!! GOOD SHIT
SCREAMING HOMESTUCK POWER HOUR #3: VRISKA FEELS AND SWEAT
the way she just shrinks, after all that talk of heavy grown-up stuff, revenge and death and murder, while she’s so desperately angry and upset, and suddenly reverts to sounding like a child again, like, i don’t wanna go there, nobody likes me there, they’re all jerks anyway :(
SCREAMING HOMESTUCK POWER HOUR #2: NOW WITH LESS SCREAMING
CAN’T IMAGINE HOW SHITTY THIS FEELS THOUGH
like, that was
her “parent”
a horrible monster forcing her to do horrible things
the reason why she is the way she is, for better or for worse
like the main thing that gave her purpose
horrifying, terrible purpose
the creature that chose her as her ward and protected her when she was young
causing her to constantly be torn between loving it, loathing it, and forcing herself to love it whenever the latter feeling came thru cause it’s her lusus, of course she does, she has to
i mean, if she doesn’t, then why would she even bother feeding her? cause she’s scared and conflicted and stuck in a horrible position? pshaw she’s stronger than that, that would NEVER happen to her, she does whatever she WANTS, she’s not EXTREMELY EASILY MANIPULATED or anything
i imagine it also felt shitty in a more physical sense. like, being bathed in blood is probably fairly uncomfortable.
SCREAMING HOMESTUCK POWER HOUR #1: I’M TRYIN TO GET HYPE AND THANKFULLY THE COMIC’S MAKING IT EASY FOR ME
She can’t be serious. What could POSSIBLY lead to your demise in a matter of minutes?
WHAT COULD IT POSSIBLY BE???
A HILARIOUS SLAPSTICK SEQUENCE THAT BEGINS WITH YOU SLIPPING ON ONE OF YOUR MANY STREWN ABOUT DICE AND ENDS WITH SOME UNLIKELY CHAIN REACTION SET OFF BY FLINGING YOUR CUEBALL INTO THE AIR AS YOU’RE FALLING, CAUSING YOU TO GET CRUSHED BY SOMETHING LARGE AND HEAVY
