Kickstucks,
If you are reading this, then youāve completed the Official Kickstarter Comment Section Pixel Art Collab. You are truly an adult subgroup of a larger fandom.
I have never been more proud of you.
Thank you all for contributing to this project! Weāve finished it with 35 hours to spare! Please: Reblog!!!Ā Show the other Homestucks what weāve accomplished!
Every now and then I dig up this old art collab to share it again. Really takes me back.
Ode to the Pimpkin - Year 5
It has been five years since the Homestuck Kickstarter was funded, and to this day I still feel the effects of it. Most of my followers and the people I follow here are from that time, but I havenāt posted on here in over a year. I only ever made my tumblr because of the Kickstucks.
However, the most long lasting effect of the Homestuck Kickstarter for me was the Pimpkin. Some of you may remember the old Memo on Pesterchum that spawned from a typo in the Kickstarter comments. During the course of the campaign, the memo helped produce a small piece of collaborative fanart in the form of the small pixel art collab. We had entirely too many people, the memo never closed, and keeping up with the breakneck pace of the kickstarter was hectic as hell. I sometimes look back on this moment as one of my favorite internet moments.
But after the kickstarter ended, so did most of the Pimpkin. People lost interest and went their separate ways leaving just a few of us to hold the memo together. And we did. We kept it alive year after year, and we slowly built back up to a modest number of old kickstarter chums as well as some new ones. We even started annual traditions like theĀ āshit lets be santaā gift exchange.
Now here we are on the eve of the Pimpkinās 5th anniversary. I have had the privilege of spending the last half a decade talking to some of my best friends daily. Though some things have changed, it has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. So whatever happens with the release of Hiveswap, the kickstarter was all worth it for what I got out of it. I hope many of you also formed similar bonds and feel the same.
So to Kickstucks, and Pimpkin members both past and present, thank you all for the last five years. It has been my honor to know you all and be part of the Homestuck fandom.

It has come to my attention that many people mistake wyverns for dragons, so hereās a post to help you remember
Dragon: 4 legs, 2 wings
Wyvern: 2 legs, 2 wings
Drake: 4 legs, flightless
Wyrms: long snake like body with no appendages, can also appear as a traditional Chinese dragon with 4. Legs and no wings yet can fly
Amphithere: 0 legs 2 wings, can be feathered
Lindwurms: 2 legs, 0 wings, long body
Luck dragon: 4 legs, no wings, can fly, long body, furry with dog like face
Komodo dragon: 4 legs, no wings, real
Bearded dragon: 4 legs, 0 wings, often kept as pets
as a person passionate as fuck about dragons, i stand by this post
please understand

why did the cake is a lie become the like most quoted portal thing when literally everything glados said was funnierĀ
āLook, we both said a lot of things that *youāre* going to regret.ā
āMaybe you should marry that thing since you love it so much. Do you want to marry it. WELL I WONT LET YOU. how does that feel?ā
āNice job breaking it, heroā
āLook at you. sailing through the air majestically. Like an eagleā¦piloting a blimpā
Like this bitch had a goldmine of good lines
āMaybe after you finish this test, Iāll let you take the elevator all the way up to the break roomā¦ and Iāll tell you about the time I saw the deer again.ā
āItās a mystery Iāll have to solve later. By myself. Because youāll be dead.ā
āDid you know that people with guilty consciences are more easily startled by loud noiseā * really loud ass train horn* āIām sorry, I donāt know why that went off. Anyway, just an interesting science fact.āĀ
āWell done. Here come the test results: You are a horrible person. Iām serious, thatās what it says: A horrible person. We werenāt even testing for that.ā
āDonāt let that āhorrible personā thing discourage you. Itās just a data point. If it makes you feel any better, science has now validated your birth motherās decision to abandon you on a doorstep.ā
āRemember before when I was talking about smelly garbage standing around being useless? That was a metaphor. I was actually talking about you. And Iām sorry. You didnāt react at the time, so I was worried it sailed right over your head. Which would have made this apology seem insane. Thatās why I had to call you garbage a second time just now.ā
āWait. This next test DOES require some explanation. Let me give you the fast version- [unintelligible] There. If you have any questions, just remember what I said in slow motion. Test on your own recognizance, Iāll be right back.ā
āThis next test involves turrets. You remember them, right? Theyāre the pale spherical things that are full of bullets. Oh wait. Thatās you in five seconds. Good luck.ā
āThat jumpsuit youāre wearing looks stupid. Thatās not me talking, itās right here in your file. On other people it looks fine, but right here a scientist has noted that on you it looks stupid.Ā Well, what does a neck-bearded old engineer know about fashion? He probably - Oh, wait. Itās a she. Still, what does she know? Oh wait, it says she has a medical degree. In fashion! From France!ā
āOh, hi. How are you holding up? Because Iām a POTATO.ā
āRemember, these exhibits ARE interactive. Like a childrenās museum. So that means the pits of acid are filled with REAL acid. Like at a WELL FUNDED childrenās museum.ā
āFederal regulations require me to warn you that this next test chamberā¦. is looking pretty good.ā
Iāve heard they actually had to rewrite a lot of her dialogue for the early part of Portal 2 to be more ridiculous and petty, as it was actually so on-point and vicious it was making playtesters not want to play the game.
The problem I have with this post is that all of these quotes as far as I can tell are fromany Portal 2, not 1. The cake is a lie is from the first game and literally years ahead of Portal 2. It was one of the most identifiable quotes from portal. I will also remind you all that Glados never said the cake is a lie. That was written on a wall by Ratman. Glados said something along the lines of "First you will be baked, and then there will be cake." And also "Cake and grief counseling...". I do agree that Glados made funnier quips than the cake related ones. A few about how unlikeable Chel is come to mind. But if we're comparing things that Glados never said to things that Glados also never said in Portal 2, perhaps consider Cave Johnson's lemon rant.
*screams internally*
or maybe Iām screaming externally but w/e
also have this picture of lapis dressed as seto kaiba, because i saw a request for it in a thread and burst out laughing

Iāve said it once Iāll say it again.
tfw you want to talk with someone about your favorite game, but no one you know has ever played it or ever will.
Thereās a new āhorrorā movie coming out, and the premise is that a female diver gets stuck sitting on a rock 200 yards from shore in what looks like maaaaaybe 30 foot deep water, with a great white ācirclingā nearby.
It is very stupid looking.
I could make all kinds of arguments about how there are only a few documented cases ever of sharks intentionally going after humans, about how weāre already trying to hunt them to extinction because people are terrified of them for no logical reason, about how the creator of Jaws regretted the shark phobia his work inspired for the rest of his life and became an extremely staunch defender of sharks as important ocean wildlife. I could say how pissed I am that yet again someone is making aĀ āhorrorā movie whose premise is animals are evil and malicious and go after humans for no reason, nature and man are inherently at odds.
But instead Iām going to leave these pictures here and make the case that this is going to be a very inconsistent, confused film about a big angry fish who apparently changes size off camera.
Here we see the shark doing a Sea World style backflip in order to eat a guy right off his surfboard. (It then chases down guy number two, gets his legs in its mouth, and thenā¦ swims backwards? to dramatically pull him away from the rock?)
Aaand here we have a perfectly circular bite in the main characterās leg where the shark apparently shrunk way down, bit in deeply enough to leave a perfect circle of ouch in her flesh, and then let go. Either that, or sheās a giantess and her thigh is as big as a manās entire torso.
Sharks, even great white sharks, really donāt give a fuck about humans. We are not food for them. They attack divers because they have relatively poor eyesight, and from below, a human paddling out into the water on a surfboard looks like a very fat, slow, awkward seal floundering on the surface. Sharks who do attack humans generally attack only once before realizing that this is not what they expected. Thatās why there are shark attack survivors; the shark doesnāt try to eat the rest of the person they just bit. Great white sharks and tiger sharks can be dangerous, but so can any large animal. More Americans alone are killed by chairs, cows, deer, dogs, and vending machines (each, not added together) than are killed worldwide by sharks even on a very unlucky year.
Please be kind to sharks.
Be nice to Jaws.
Jaws dont want you.
soā¦ on google maps street view thereās no official camera footage of the destroyed areas of centralia, pennsylvania (the town that was inspiration for silent hill because of its horrible underground mine fire that caused most residents to relocate and all the real estate to be condemned) because the highway is, like, destroyed, but there are user-uploaded photos from parts of the destroyed highway anyway, including the significant amount of graffiti written on the ground itself. anyway with no further commentary:
