highly doubt it, but im seeing people doing promstuck in california and regular homestuck meets- would you ever consider running another event? O:

hey! I'm so glad people are still doing promstuck that's adorable LMAO

honestly I answered this a few years ago but it's still basically the same- yes, I would love to run a Reunion Tour Promstuck, but it's a funds issue. Full disclosure, when I was running Promstuck in college, it was because I had a huge lump sum of college money I could take $10,000 from to secure a venue and pay myself back a few months later. (Yes this was probably a bad idea in retrospect and it's a good thing it worked out, but you know, that's what you get for handing a 19 year old over $100,000.) I no longer have that kind of funding to put a down payment, and while we did the last one on advance ticket sales, it was harrowing as fuck and not knowing if we could secure the venue was terrifying for many, many months. The other issue there was we were told by Hussie's team that we weren't allowed to do a kickstarter/crowdfund for the event due to Homestuck Restrictions, so there wasn't really a way to get that kind of cash in a lump sum, leaving us a bit dead in the water.

So essentially, to run a big ol NYC Promstuck Reunion Tour, I'd either need:

Someone who owns a venue to support a couple hundred people that would let us use it for free for one night, or

Something in the realm of someone giving me $10,000 I could use to secure a venue and being cool getting that money back after the event (or, possibly, not all that money if it's not as popular as I would imagine it would be).

If you're one of those two people- hit me up! Fully I would LOVE to do another event, I'd be SUPER down to donate my time and organization to make this happen, I just. Need one of those two things LMAO. But thanks for asking anon!!

honeycomb summer and niki shiina

"didnt you say the last post was your last analysis" yeah, well, i lied.

hot limit is much less a story from niki and more a story about niki. this distinction will carry throughout this post, as i think it says not only a lot about niki himself, but also the relationship between niki and rinne, which i think is a vital part of both their characterizations.

i mean, oddly enough, niki doesn't even show up much in his own center event! this is because, of course, he's trying to juggle three different things (work/cooking opportunities, idol activities, and his family name), but it does show a decent amount into his characterization. namely, niki's reluctance to ask for help (rinne acts of his own accord in hot limit, not because he's prompted), his low self esteem, and the way his illness actually affects him in his day to day life. i think its worth it to note that his low self esteem is intertwined with his chronic illness, as he specifically references himself as a buden and having to be thankful he's lasted as long as he has. (side note: the new profile for niki having survival in his skills is both aggravating and justifying to me in equal measure. he would look at his 20 years of life and go "wild how i survived that huh!" and then move on.)

ultimately, though, i think the most important part of hot limit is niki and rinne. they're central to the narrative, but more than that, hot limit makes it clear what their relationship is. there's a heavy level of devotion in their relationship, but what's particularly interesting to me is rinne's perspective about niki. not only does rinne want to fundamentally "change fate", as he absolutely hates the perspective niki currently has, but he interestingly refuses to be clear about it, except for at the end of hot limit, when he outright states it to himeru and kohaku.

ive been sitting on this screenshot for months. they make me so ill.

anyway. that's not the point, my point is to talk about honeycomb summer, the song that came out with hot limit. because much in the way that hot limit is a story about niki, honeycomb summer is a song talking to niki.

there's two places in particular in the lyrics that standout as direct lines that are attempts from rinne to talk to niki. this is more than likely part of his campaign to "change fate".

niki fucking hates talking about his issues (see: hot limit) so the first part makes sense. basically, hes a master at deflecting. laugh, smile, move on, don't elaborate further. help him.

the second part is a bit more interesting, because it's both a typical crazy:b lyric and a typical rinne amagi-ism. but under the lens of honeycomb summer, and particularly the quote at the end of hot limit, this is a direct fucking plea to niki shiina. you can want more than just to survive. it's okay to be greedy.

which ttpd track are you most excited for??

so long london, my boy only breaks his favorite toys, the black dog, and but daddy i love him. possibly also i can fix him. also i feel like guilty as sin will be one of my favorites while also being super underrated within the fandom (a la labyrinth). idk every single track title sounds so intriguing and hints at a really interesting story. midnights had far more vague and confusing track titles, so i’m super intrigued.

I know I am curious.

I haven’t heard anything about them!

Jeez, alright. Since the peo+ple clamo+r fo+r it, I’ll mentio+n a few.

I’ve go+t the o+ne big continuo+us swirl that go+es just abo+ut everywhere. But I think that’s bo+g standard Po+rrim fare.

Slightly mo+re unique: O+n my fro+nt right hip, trailing across the edge o+f the bo+ne, I have a heart, diamo+nd, spade, and club, in that o+rder. They lo+o+k like gemsto+nes set in go+ld bo+rders.

My favo+rite is o+n my back, what lo+o+ks like two+ clean slices that fo+llo+w the curvature o+f my sho+ulder blades, and each o+ne has a hand co+ming o+ut o+f it, grasping fo+r the o+ther o+ne.
