This is an art ask blog for all the intermission characters in Homestuck (and Problem Sleuth) I, Reshzin, shall be drawing most if not all my answers! This blog was made for positivity, creativity and the nourishing of my artistic ability. Ask me anything and I'll try my best to answer via picture! I welcome all ships and ideas! :D
Human version of my new Cro! Because honestly I drew him as a human first so it was but a matter of time! Also you just know this fool tries to flirt with cops, and it works too. It becomes, like, a problem. He keeps trying to flirt his way out of arrests, but he doesnât actually know how to flirt, so he tries to do treat them like he would his men, but then this just ends with him displaying top tier homie behavior. Long story short, he ends up giving officers therapy sessions and tissues.
Yeah, heâs starting to think relationships involve lots of tears. Heâs very confused. He doesnât know what heâs doing.
Made a new version of my Cro that probably looks exactly the same as my other one to most people but itâs ok, bc heâs pretty, and he has cool scars. If you ask him heâll say it was from someone he beat in a fight, but the first (horizontal one) was actually from a bad attempt at trying to attach a knife to a roomba, and the second was because he miscalculated his footing and fell down a half built sewer drain.
Dark suit Cro I drew for a DD07 Rp where Cro breaks into Droogâs house and eventually they play dress up for funsies! Cro is acccctually supposed to be wearing a black suit, but Iâm allergic to things without color so red it was! (Droogâs suit was too tight for Cro which is why the buttons canât close all the way teehee)
Been doodling a lil lately haha. Wanted to showcase my Crowbarâs scars and drawn a western Crowbar inspired by @zirconmonkey âs wormcatcher au!!! (You should ask them about it, itâs so cool)
What are some of your favorite felt head canons if you don't mind, and is your intermission discord server still active?
Oh yeah psh the server is defo active. We talk there every day and we had a group vc like just yesterday! Feel free to join! Even if youâre going to lurk we got good fanarts being made like every other day! https://discord.gg/VMtTxQj
NOW TO THE INFODUMPING! Sry not sry you asked for this Iâm just gunna go full ham. (I figured out how to add a read more link! hah!)
OK SO! Iâve got so many! Top fav is my ones for Crowbar of course. I love making his juju a sentient being and having it effect him negatively by applying sensitivity for timeline shenanigans on him. This also means Crowbar is weak against temporal movement like teleportation. Heâs fine for the most part if the Doc teleports him with green sun magic but if Droog does it, it gets him sick and dizzy for a bit.
Oh! Also that Crowbar has lots of hobbies, but every single one is a benefit to his Felts. Heâs incapable of doing activities selfishly and has a hard time detaching himself from his work. Expressing himself creatively? Sure! How about he gets into woodworking and architecture so he can repair walls, doors, and clocks whenever they break around the manor. Taking time off to zone out and relax? No problem! He unironically loves doing paperwork because the exactness of the wording comfort him and he can keep business flowing. (He secretly collects the small manuals that comes with most products because finding grammar mistakes in the terms and conditions amuses him.) He even has a mild special interest in car detailing and cleaning so that the getaway cars for everyone are in top condition, and so that the manor is clean and free of evidence.
Oh and that reminds me that I love to hc that the manor (I make it sentient) looooves Crowbar the most out of any member since heâs the only one that takes care of it. The manorâs architecture shifts constantly to confuse intruders and such, but for Crowbar it shifts to get him to wanted destinations faster. If Crowbar wants to get to the west wing from the east wing, only Itchy has a chance to close the distance faster than him. Ah! Itâs so funny! Iâm smiling about it now! Aaaa I love them!
And! And and I love to hc Crowbar being super dense in matters of love. In the server (there is rp and I am the dedicated Crowbar rper) I make sure to have him make the perfectly wrong assumption any time someone falls for him bc Cro mentally cannot comprehend someone being attracted to him- OH THAT REMINDS ME OF ANOTHER ONE! I hc that to us irl humans Crowbar is the most normal and even the sexiest felt, but in leprechaun standards Crowbar is like, the ugliest leprechaun ever. Leprechaun standards value weird shapes, weird chaotic habits, and the scrungle vibe, and Crowbar is intimately aware he doesnât embody any of it, so itâs just like. âUm. I know damn well I donât make an effort to strive towards beauty standards, so,,, why are you falling for me again? Surely this is a joke? This, isnât what people are supposed to do.â
On that note though, I think Crowbar has a hard time with charms as a system. Heâs effected by it and feels it occasionally, but he does much better with quadrants and carapacians in general. He doesnât like talking about it with his men because heâs scared they are going to make fun of him for it, but they probably already know what with his little Snowman crush.
Hot take I could do with or do without Snowbar. It really depends on who Iâm roleplaying with. For the most part I love it because it emphasizes the fact that Crowbar is just really fucking weird compared to other leprechauns. Heâs orderly, heâs bi, he likes things to be a certain consistent way, and thereâs nothing be can do about it. It just makes me feel warm inside. If my rp partner doesnât like the ship though I loooooove to make Snowman and Cro like, slumber party pals. They engage in the tea and girl talk! Wlw and mlm! Snowy is the manâs rock and sense of reason in a sea of idiots.
Though hm, now for other Felt. I do like the idea that Itchy actually has garbage reaction time and is in a state of single focused mania a lot. My mans has trouble sleeping and knowing his environment and it can take a toll on his mind, but when he does sleep his metabolism is too fast for such a long sleep and he has to go into a hibernation state! Like a hummingbird! (Thatâs @naturallydark âshc for the Itchy they rp in the server) aaaa good stuff. Oh and I love to think Itchy is chronically bored and has big issues with being under-stimulated, which is why he is friends with most of the felt and will bother them. The company makes him happy! And when heâs not being a lil fuck, he does know how to cheer the majority of the Felt up when they are down.
On the flip side I love imagining that Doze actually has insane reaction time, his world just slows when heâs stressed, which doesnât happen as often as folks might think. I imagine Dozeâs biggest fear is getting irreversibly maimed so his powers activate during physical combat, but other than that heâs a pretty normal dude. Probably the type to catch a bunch of dishes and have everything land on the tray again cartoon style. Definitely thinks heâs the coolest guy in the room (civilized edition)
Fin is just cute. Man just, swims in the dumbest places. You can never predict when he will be in a body of water. Kinda hates when anyone dumps dead bodies in the canal and will drag them out of the water to toss to the lusi (lususâs?) wandering the desert when he can.
Clover and Snowman get along really well. Like, Snowman thinks Clover is strangely charismatic, but this is almost purely because the universe loves Clover.
Anything @ontdah does with his Die makes me happy. Just. Anything. Love that angsty man.
Snowman can absolutely take damage without it effecting the rest of the universe. (I despise the fact that the prominent badass female character canât roughhouse) like, she is a universe avatar. She can just choose to be an avatar of some useless far off planet, she just likes the power trip with being able to stop any fight sheâs in by just standing there. Only the Felt know this but they keep it a safely guarded secret and they still respect the rules of it. After all she likes having star freckles when she embodies everything so she actually is in that vulnerable state most of the time. Itâs like, her shitty personal version of a Russian roulette, but with the lives of every single person alive. Sheâs a massive troll. In the most dignified way possible. Stitch thinks sheâs crazy, Crowbar finds her fascinating in her selfishness.
Stitch is one of the rarer less chaotic leprechauns, and he gets along pretty well with Crowbar. For the most part heâs the dad figure of the felt despite not being the oldest, and will let any of them silently hang out with him if the fucked up ness of their life becomes too much. The official sawbones, and less official therapist of the lads. Makes sure they have everything they need to handle any mental stuff they struggle with. He helps Itchy with his adhd, works with Matchsticks (more often) and Cro (less often) on their ptsd, helps lots of them with anxiety, rationalizes through Cloverâs survivors guilt, and even has chats with Snowy when sheâs feeling existential. He is incredibly emotionally intelligent and likes to use that ability for good, however gruff it comes across.
Sawbuck is the nice fuck boi of the Felt and you cannot convince me otherwise. Clover may be the most charismatic over all, but Sawbuck definitely has the most game. The guy is a dream boat, an absolute hunk. Sawbuck is the sexiest man alive and everyone in the felt (no matter how reluctantly) agrees with it.
Matchsticks is a pyromaniac and is constantly curbing his own urges to just burn everything to the ground, timeline included. Heâs a REALLY nice guy, but the urges get to him sometimes. (Hc from @ontdah )He has troubles staying present at times and keeps multiple fires burning around the manor for convenience and for reminiscing. Crowbar has to tell Matchsticks when meetings will be hours or even days in advance or else he might not be able to include him. The guy just, travels a lot and is hard to find. His jokes cheer everyone up, but itâs clear heâs not always happy. Stitch and Matchsticks spend the most time with each other. Stitch has personally guided Matchsticks into being more present, but itâs a constant process.
Eggs is fantastic at retelling heists in engaging ways. If anyone wants a retelling of events, they tend to go to Eggs, even if Crowbar has the better memory. Itâs more entertaining that way.
Biscuits makes food for the Felt. Without him they would all immediately starve. Some felt know how to cook, but only Biscuits knows how to portion meals to feed all of them correctly. Heâs also their silent nutritionist and will give you a look of disappointment if you ever come into the manor with, ugh, FROG FORBID Store. Bought. Sweets. He has standards. Most of his free time is spent in the kitchen and he is the only Felt besides Crowbar who is allowed an allowance for groceries.
Quarters is a gun freak and gives all of them names and backstories like iron dolls. If you handle a gun incorrectly in front of him heâs going to very passive aggressively judge you until you piss him off enough to drag you back into gun training. He taught most every member how to use firearms (except for Stitch, Matchsticks, and Clover) but he has made every single one of them take a firearms course, hosted by himself of course. Snowman and Quarters have long bouts of dark humor involving weapons sometimes too. They started being friends after he taught her how to use a sniper rifle.
Cans is Crowbarâs bean bag and they are bros. They cuddle lots and talk about stuff. I imagine Cans has almost an enthusiastic butler sort of relationship with Crowbar and Crowbar can do nothing to refute this. After many, many, months and years of Cans comforting Crowbar and being there for him and helping him out of risky situations, Crowbar has succumbed to trusting the man fully. Whenever Crowbar is having troubles sleeping he will simply drag himself over to Cansâs room and nap with him. They are cute.
AH! oK DONE! I have more Cro hcs of course but this has taken me ages to type and! I! Need! To go to work soon!
Been roleplaying Crowbar more lately, I adore him so much. Had a scene where he had to wear casual clothes for once in his life and, well, go big or go home! The second sketch was actually my first, I just, got a bit carried away and had to make a new one
