Nica (She/her) I am facilitating the homestuck liveread of @the-troll-book-of-mormon. you could say I'm on a MISSION of sorts. You might even call me a MISSIONARY. Due to me spreading the GOOD WORD, in a sense.
my best friends' comic MAROON came back from hiatus today, so i thought i'd post some vaguely homestuck-inspired fanart i made a while back! it's on about 200 pages now, and things are about to start getting weird :}
p.s. the writer for MAROON is the same person who introduced me to homestuck, and if i may drag her for a moment, it's a bit obvious in the storytelling (in a good way lol). especially in the way it starts so simple and then gradually pulls you into the craziest, most whimsical plots ever. anyway, im so excited for chapter 4, and y'all should totally check it out! :DD
Late night entry but I drew my comfort ship after a hard day today
I feel like Tom might try branching into wearing brighter colors as he gets more confident. But maybe I also just like seeing people in bright colors haha
And I made a little thing for when Maroon sees Tom's outfit lol
holds up a microphone to you. thoughts on yiffany ?
disclaimer that i'm not all caught up on hsbc yet, but so far she's my favorite of the omega kids! her design goes so hard— the hair, the tie, the fuckin cleats?? she's so cool. and she brings that feral energy that is exactly what i'd expect from a jaderose kid.
i have a lot of thoughts about her existence in general too, and which directions i hope they take her story, but it's too much to contain in one post. overall though, i think her story is a compelling one, and im intrigued by what it says about rose & jade, and their relationships with kanaya & dave. personally, i find it much more fun to contemplate why someone would do something like cheat on their partner, than if they would. i think people's morals and hard lines can be pretty malleable in the right conditions, and exploring that territory in a story is exciting. that's probably why i'm such a fan of the epilogues & hsbc— they're absolutely full of our faves making questionable choices under very specific circumstances. also, i'm a sucker for a weird & tragic backstory, so it's no wonder that yiffy and tavvy are the omega kids i'm most excited about.
anyway, since i was inspired, here's the sketch i made of yiffany as i picture her! i'll post the finished piece separately once i finish it (:
this exchange being immediately followed by dave getting the absolute shit kicked out of him by his bro is such a clear statement (': kids are inclined to think their experiences are universal. he says it more explicitly later but dave literally thinks his friends are also getting beat up by their guardians.
i think about dave having chronic pain from his upbringing a lot, and wanna see more disabled dave strider rep, so i figured i'd start doing my part :}
ok i finally finished watching the first season of gravity falls! here's my hc for soos's god tier so far :} i love him so much. and i refuse to draw a codpiece on him lmao
i decided to remake an old doodle i made once of candy dave crying to just a dream by nelly, because i think that kind of middle school angst music is so dave, and it's hilarious to imagine him genuinely crying to ridiculous lyrics like "tryna get my usher on but i cant let it burn". and of course i had to make it a matching set! something about commander vantas angry-crying to good luck babe is so fucking funny to me idk
in which dave does not want anything remotely puppet-like to watch the proceedings
(+ my rushed attempt at dialogue below)
DAVE: hey karkat sorry to totally crush your wildest selfcest dreams here but do you think maybe we could put that cool guy away before we go any further here
KARKAT: WHAT?
DAVE: your squishy dude over there with the sideways mohawk
DAVE: lil kat
KARKAT: ARE YOU REFERRING TO MY CUSHION EFFIGY?
DAVE: ok theres absolutely no way thats actually the troll word for plushies but ill let it slide without completely derailing the conversation this time
DAVE: yes that guy
DAVE: could we maybe do this without him watching
DAVE: idk something about the way hes been staring at me with those big yellow depression eyes is just killin my vibe
KARKAT: ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS YOU WANT TO GET OFF YOUR NUB WHILE YOU'RE ALREADY SCUTTLING YOUR EFFRONTERY GASH?
KARKAT: WOW DAVE, REALLY GLAD THAT AFTER ALL THIS TIME YOU FINALLY FOUND IT WITHIN THE ECHOING CAVERNS OF YOUR HOLLOW PUMP BISCUIT TO TELL ME THAT MY "DEPRESSION EYES" ALLEGEDLY "KILL YOUR VIBE".
DAVE: i love your depression eyes you know i love your depression eyes
DAVE: dude what
DAVE: thats totally different
KARKAT: ONCE AGAIN I AM COMPLETELY MYSTIFIED BY THE BOUNDLESS GENIUS OF YOUR ATROPHYING SPONGE. HOW COULD I EVER HOPE TO KEEP UP?
KARKAT: I DON'T KNOW, DAVE, IS THIS A THING THAT I KNOW?
KARKAT: YOU DON'T THINK THERE COULD BE ANYTHING CONFUSING ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU ARE CLAIMING TO "LOVE" AN ANATOMICAL FEATURE OF MINE THAT YOU SIMULTANEOUSLY FIND SO DISGUSTING THAT YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY BRING YOURSELF TO ENGAGE IN CONCUPISCENT ACTIVITIES IN ITS PRESENCE?
DAVE: holy shit dude i cannot believe this is actually something youre stuck on
DAVE: this is a real unfortunate time to be getting into this but maybe its because your depression eyes are attached to the real life body of my sexy as fuck boyfriend and i can look at them and not get the weird fucking heebie jeebies about being watched or secretly filmed
KARKAT: OH.
DAVE: i mean look hes cute and all and on the one hand its genuinely hilarious that in a way were fulfilling plush karkats voyeuristic fantasies that he inherited from you
KARKAT: HEY!
DAVE: but on the other its kinda jarring that every time i glance up and see his weird little fabric face im getting flashbanged by my kid selfs fucked up programming and for a split second its like im seeing something completely different
DAVE: so yeah nothing wrong with his depression eyes specifically its just that theyre eyes and theyre not real and somehow that makes it way more real
DAVE: like maybe someone somehow snuck a webcam in there just now when i wasnt looking
DAVE: which doesnt actually make sense because first of all why
DAVE: and second of all im always keeping my eye out for that sort of thing anyway so i would definitely notice before we got this far
DAVE: but all this dumb shit just makes it kinda hard to focus on the actual depression bedroom eyes right in front of my face
DAVE: not to mention the rest of this effigy im tryin to get my ganderbulbs and prongs all over
KARKAT: OKAY I GET IT, STOP TRYING TO DISTRACT ME FROM THE FEELINGS JAM BY APPROPRIATING TROLL VERNACULAR.
KARKAT: I'LL PUT HIM IN THE OTHER ROOM.
...
i had more of the scene i could write, but it was getting long and im already late for day 1! maybe one day i'll actually write out a scene and post it on ao3
@davekatweek day 2: game! davekat play ticket to ride
KARKAT: DAVE STOP PLACING THE TRAINS ON THEIR SIDES I SWEAR TO THE FUCKING PAVEMENT-SLAUGHTERED HOOFBEAST YOU CRUSHED BENEATH YOUR EXCREMENT-SODDEN WIGGLER ASS
this prompt reminded me of a dave song i like (seasons by greyson chance), so instead of drawing anything actually seasonal, i just redrew the cover of it with davekat. original + lyrics ↓
@davekatweek day 4: free day! i made a redraw of one of my favorite @tgcg pieces!
they ended up looking like such babies here— i wish they could have been kids together in a normal way, instead of being forced to be child soldiers for universe propagation (':
