sometimes i remember the canonical height difference and start laughing uncontrollably

TG: this games been setting us up to fail from the start

TG: pretending its your fault just because you fucked up the way it rigged you to from the start doesnt help anyone

TG: dont hate the player hate the game

TG: its like the trolley problem

TG: they give you two levers to pull and a bunch of hostages tied to the tracks and then the trolley epically derails and runs over all of them anyway and they say its because you pulled the wrong lever but then you find out later the timeline where you pulled the other one was doomed so everyone died anyway and it didnt actually matter at all what you picked

TT: That’s not what the trolley problem is.

TG: it is in sburb

TG: stop being mad at yourself for pulling the wrong lever

TG: there wasnt ever a right one

TG: be mad at the game that keeps tying us to the fucking tracks

#no one gets self blame like a time player #this isn’t the first time i’ve used the trolley problem as a metaphor for sburb but in my defense it fits REALLY well #in that both of them encourage blaming yourself for the universe deciding to just fucking fuck with you for its own amusement #would you pull the lever? play the game? here’s the trick:#it doesn’t actually matter and never did #the tragedies on either track are inescapable within the bounds of the game #and blaming yourself for not being able to figure out how to escape the story and choke god to death with your bare hands #won’t fix a damn thing #sometimes all you can do is refuse to let the world break you #but that’s a victory in itself and one you can and should take pride in.#while you work on the killing god thing #art #sketch #digital art #fanart #homestuck #dave strider #dirk strider #phase 72 #caption/tags tag

call for help if you want — no one can hear you.

Dirk: *Finds out about Doc Scratch*

Dirk: Wait, shit. Not like that.

Dirk: How is he worse than Dave’s Bro. What the fuck.

Dirk: Next you’re going to tell me Lord English is one of my splinters too.

#the fact that both doc scratch and lord english are technically dirk splinters is an endless well of dark humor #anyway the real reason dirk hates arquius so much is that it’s the most jealous of someone he’s ever been in his entire life #and we all know it #art #sketch #digital art #fanart #homestuck #dirk strider #phase 72 #caption/tags tag

why is he so tall. illegal

#i mean it’s very convenient for me as someone who loves drawing mile long legs but tries to keep canon proportions #but like. 9 feet? surely that’s an excessive amount #if he were real i would be morally obligated to procrustes his ass #art #sketch #digital art #fanart #one piece #donquixote rosinante #phase 72

that you’re alive at all has already fulfilled every wish he could have had for you.

but how do you face a gift like that? how could you ever deserve a sacrifice of that magnitude with no strings attached?

it’s simpler to bear this as a cross than as a kindness. it’s the only way you’ve ever learned to grieve.

[*You know, Frisk… I know you aren’t them, but when you called out to me…]

[*For a moment, I thought I heard…]

[*Well, I guess it doesn’t matter now.]

[*Anyway, um…]

[*…Take care of mom and dad for me, okay?]

ok so around a year ago @bogos-bint3d was like “soldier poet king is so frisk undertale to me” to which i of course responded “you’re so right and you should say it” [paraphrased] and then i drew like a verse and a half of it before running out of steam and didn’t think about it again for like 8 months

but you know, sometimes i like to go through my old comics and like. look at them and such, enjoy my own artistic genius, etcetera, and i stumbled on that comic and i went “damn soldier poet king is such a frisk song, though” so i decided to just come back and redo the whole thing from the start and also actually finish it this time

so uhhh bow before the fruit of my glorious labor ig. pretty happy with how this came out.
