Oh, so that's why everyone was suddenly talking about homestuck again

For the record, I'm all the way around on morbid curiousity for this one. I'm one of the dweebs who will defend homestuck as a legitimately interesting and groundbreaking piece of art, but it's also just the last piece of art I would ever think is suitable for adaptation to a different medium. Any different medium. Few stories have ever been as much about their medium of presentation as homestuck is.

Making an animated version of homestuck is like trying to do House of Leaves as a prog rock concept album. It's like making the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy into a ballet. It's Twelve Angry Men in Tokusatsu. It's an artistic choice so self-evidently bad that merely the act of trying to pull it off is art in itself

And that's just based on the formal properties of the work - the bare fact that 80% of this story consists of teenagers sitting around having inane conversations about RPG mechanics in which the majority of the humour and characterization is conveyed via creative typography. I'm not even going to touch the fact that the whole thing is so intensely dated we should call it your mom

constantly in awe of the indomitable spirit of homestuck. it's been eternally, publicly branded as dogshit, the most any layman knows about it in 2025 is sharpie bath mythology, there truly is no hope for its public image, and yet. to this day you will never find an internet comment section without a nepeta profile picture. the mentally ill tweenagers of the world are still using typing quirks. tamsyn muir is putting out New York Times Bestsellers with her partner's pesterchum tag written in the dedication along with "<>" . you can't fight it

Okay, 1) Why did wikipedia decide to feature this as one of todays fun facts and 2) whose tumblr ass art is this isnt this a homestuck characterOkay yeah i looked it up it's homestuck. Homestuck mpreg on wikipedia good job everyone

For reasons and also causes I have recently written the wikipedia article for mpreg and am trying to find an illustration for it. Do I happen to know any fanartists who want to release some (ideally sfw) mpreg art under a wikipedia compatible license* for eternal glory and wikipedia bragging rights?

*the short version is "anyone can do anything they want with your work forever as long as they attribute you". For the long version, look up CC-by-4.0.

ok

@icedcoolatta, could you add something like "I am the author of this image and I release it under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license (CC-BY-4.0)"? or pick you own license from here.

@icedcoolatta thank you!! two more questions, sorry: was this the first time you posted this anywhere, and if not when was the first time? (I need "date work was created or first published"). also, which characters are these? I don't strictly need a detailed caption but it'd be nicer

this was first created and posted on Thursday, January 30th, 2025, and these characters are Dad (right) and Pre-Scratch Roxy Lalonde, or Mom (left)
