now its time to get funky

simplified context,,,

the blue lady (skye) is skaia as a fankid

the colorful kid (nana) is nanasprite as a fankid

a little more context is!!! theyre both jegberts!

ultra additional context is i have this little project called Sidestuck where i swap the main cast with a side character thats specific to them!

(if youre wondering, johns swapped with dadbert, rose with jaspers, dave with maplehoof, jade with bec, and then janes swapped with nannasprite (nana!!), dirk with lil hal, roxy with vodka mutini, and jake with skaia (skye!!) :D)

dispatch au where everythings the same except waterboy and toxic were best buds in college and they pause mid fight to catch up in episode 8

[graburarms]

sorry for the radio silence i highkey had nothing i wanted to post and its been getting realll close to the end of school for me

but hi hello im back for the foreseeable future!! and i come bearing a gift....my firstborn

surprise! its a homestuck oc (delivery room voice)

[graburarms]

no tumblr i will not "update" your "app" just because you give me a silly little prompt on the bottom of my screen you will Sit and Wait for your turn in the corner like the rest of my social medias while i draft my funny stories and you will Like It.

in other news! art block is going away!

[graburarms]

this ones a little self indulgent (ok more like a lot) but take my hand and imagine with me here for a second

au where hermans a former idol/used to be part of a band (or he could've been a solo artist up to you)

he stepped away from the scene to take care of his grandma, his fans were obviously a little disappointed but they understood, and his group was sad to see him go but supported his decision

he still makes cameos here and there whenever they visit los angeles, and theres always huge hype surrounding them, be it a song or an interview (or a photoshoot, but thats a surprise tool thatll help us later)

no one in the z-team would know about it except robert, cause itd be in his file and duh robert has access to that, but dude doesnt know enough about idols and bands to know its a big deal, so he doesnt think to bring it up to anyone on the team outside of herman himself

one day waterboy takes a day off for "business matters" or "personal reasons" one of the two, and nobody thinks anything about it until prism finds a whole photoshoot and interview on her insta feed

[graburarms]

So moot instead of you grabbing my arms, this time, I grabbed your arms

Just to tell you this and make sure it eats away at your brain in a glorious way like a hyperfixation

Dispatch streamer au

Dispatch streamer au

And it's Herman centric

Welcome to my Ted talk

I will now let go of your arm

And disappear like I didn't do anything at all

(might make a fic—or not, unless my ass gets motivated enough—kenough)

ohohoooo youre gonna get Back Here buddy

streamer au. like. everyone is a streamer? or is it just herm? either way ive already decided on his niche

cooking.

he started it for his grandma, she was in the hospital, too sick to talk or call, but he still wanted to be able to have some sort of connection, some kind of way that she could see him, know he was taking care of everything at home, and the nurses made sure to put it on for her everytime

when the day before she was discharged, he did a sort of "last stream" vod since there were a few other people who watched along for advice, he was a really small channel and he his grandma was coming back, so he didnt need to keep streaming

but then he got encouragement in the chat to keep going, that they really liked his cooking and it helped them eat better themselves since he talked about the instructions while he cooked (brownie points if this person is robert hehe) and he decided that if he can help people while doing something he likes, then no harm no foul, right?

the thing is, he gets Really good at it, and gets starts getting a bit popular because of that

if youll allow me to get cliche, at a certain point, his followers start begging for a face reveal at whatever follower count, and he gets really shy about it, but eventually relents and agrees

so the follower special has his full body now, not just having his head cut off and out of frame, and of course everyone is going crazy for that man

a bunch of viewers start popping in, raids, what have you, this could probably be where the z-team recruitment stand in comes in to play honestly, and hes genuinely shocked

the entire stream hes really flustered, making a little cake for the channel, half of the time hes talking is just to say thank you to the chat whenever they compliment him or donate or do literally anything

and when its over hes shell shocked, setting a piece of the cake aside for his grandma and wondering if what happened was real or not when his phone starts buzzing out of control

suddenly hes getting a Ton of collab requests, batz0, Devil Down Under, Prism herself-

he needs to sit down for a while after that

[graburarms]

might be a while before i can get myself to actually draw my villain waterboy design but what i can do is little bits here and there and small info posts every now and then! like right now think fast

if he ever gets into a situation where he has to fight somebody, he will do his best to cause as little damage possible (to the person and the surroundings) and just get out of there. he doesnt want to risk coming back and cleaning the place back up, and hes not that great of a fighter

holding out, on the other hand, is his specialty, which is crazy because nobody expects the Twink to be a Tank

💭💭ok hear me out watermech but they keep narrowly missing each other. this could be whatever flavor of watermech you like mind you so ill do two scenarios

1. (this would be if you picked phenomaman over waterboy) regular flavor, post-canon/after shroud whatever you wanna call it, another team takes notice of waterboy and snatches that guy up immediately.

he gets training, robert keeps hearing about the missions hes done, waterboy keeps hearing about the missions z-team (or him if you have him back in action as mechaman) has done, but they cant quite find each other to say congratulations, or in waterboys case a thank you, only to find they were just a few seconds late, or if theyd just waited a minute longer or been in another room they wouldve met up by chance instead.

2. EVIL flavor!!! (im using my interpretation of a villain waterboy au for this one but feel free to go crazy with your own) (aka im bringing back the janitor stay tuned)

with this one it would be more of just robert narrowly missing waterboy instead of it being mutual cause this dudes slippery. always in the shadows, quiet, making himself scarce at the crime scene while he washes away the evidence and slips away without anyone noticing.

but when mechaman goes MIA and robert becomes a dispatcher, he starts popping up more. frequent calls about a "sighting" every now and then, but no dice. but in this period hes not in action either, he knows the situation and hes trying to help, which just makes robert want to catch him even more

EEEKK SORRY IF THESE SUCK THIS IS MY FIRST TIME DOING A POST LIKE THIS I HOPE YOU LIKE IT

[graburarms]

actually Got dispatch and did a playthrough!! justified letting myself have this as it being research for my project BUT!!

the whole thing!! agh!! it made me fall in love with the game and the characters and just the whole story all over again now that ive had the chance to play it for myself and it helped pull me out of my creative funk a little bit! not just with drawing but also writing cause ive kinda rediscovered my love for narrative and dialogue writing thanks to this and Life Is Beautiful

[graburarms]

umapatch update theres So so much

first of all, this started off as a fun little side au i didnt really think would be all that interesting to anybody else but now its An Actual School Project that my teacher really likes so thats cool im nonchalant about it. Totally not freaking out over my assignment being to continue whats essentially a passion project if i wanna get a little dramatic here

second, when i get out of whatever evil art block curse someone put on me ill be considering making a side blog where i post all the designs for everyone and explain their stats/aptitudes (along with a very long info dump on how the mechanics would work in a hypothetical game)

ok this is getting long read for more horse

and thirddd, we have names for most of the cast!! some of them will stay the same because i personally think their names are already Perfect race horse names (like blazer for example) and i love them So very much for making my job easy

the names arent exactly final but they arent Not final iykwim, some of them i Really like and some of them im not too sure of but dont let that stop you from turning in any suggestions or picking your favorite Sparkle Sparkleee

sonar -> pegasus, flambae -> manhattan flambéed/manhattan fireball, visi -> nothing at all, golem -> all at once (theyre matching!), coupé -> creed (?), punch-up -> (not sure/unchanged), malevola -> devil down under, prism -> projection/pound cake/hoes depressed (?), waterboy -> blue lagoon, phenomaman -> impenetrable (?), and robert -> full metal blue

theyre not the best they could be but i like them and thats what matters!! dudes marked with a (?) are guys imm kinda stuck on, but suggestions are welcome so help is appreciated!!

[graburarms]

ignore the LIES and FALSEHOODS about meta comps and "good" characters. pick the himejoshi if you know whats good for you

[graburarms]

theres not enough phenomaroyd content. im starving. but you can help. for the low price of drawing two buff men tenderly holding each other and perhaps smooching a little bit you can save a starving tumblr user today.
