Our What Pumpkin Tumblr is retiring

On another maintenance front, in a few days we’re going to retire the very What Pumpkin Tumblr we’re posting this on. We will continue posting future news, info and updates on our HIVESWAP Twitter account. That’s not going anywhere. Unless it’s revealed that Twitter is just a figment of our collective imaginations. But really … would it be any less real if we all imagined it?

Yes. Yes it would be less real.

DARAYA’S THEME: ▲trollkind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. to obtain something of equal value must be lost. that is alchemys first law of equivalent exchange. in those days, we really believed that to be the worlds one, and only, truth.▼

i wrote the original track when i was a teenager in a shitty band called “the isotopes” which is a reference to the baseball team on the simpsons. yikes. i played drums. bigger yikes. i fixed it up for this because we… just didn’t have anything that fit. the idea is that its.. a jade blood who is trying very hard not to be one.

you still have all the trappings of jade blood music: piano, bells, harps, arpeggios, some sort of.. ethereal moments.. but its like this weird bad rockabilly nonsense. you can hear how a like 11 year old me wrote what i considered to be “stride piano” there was a point this was gonna be a grubbles song but its like… well theres only two of them. so i kinda went buckwild on the drums a bit. remember dammek? i wonder what that guys up to. probably some stupid shit LMAO.

anyway a lot of you are wondering why trace put fucking lapras in the preview image and i guess the burden falls upon me to explain. on twitter there is an artist who predicted every single time it was gonna be daraya whether they had evidence or not and theres a whole like in-joke comic about daraya bringing a lapras plush (named SLAPRAS) to jade blood show and tell… look man i dont make this shit up theres a lot of lore. if you arent on homestuck twitter its about a thousand times better than anywhere else for that sort of… golden-age-homestuck fandom feel. nothing will ever come close to that but this feels very nostalgic to just joke and laugh with friends and shit. you guys have been really good to me. thanks.

NIHKEE’S THEME: “lmao i still dont know if its nicky or nike (like the shoe, not like.. the name mike)“ started streaming my work now since its less of a surprise who the characters are. i went through like… five different versions of this track. this was gonna be disco i dont know what i was thinking. we ended up going with this one which is actually meant for a different part of ACT 2. In ACT 1, the song “Keep your head down” has a rhythmic motif that I use in the climax of this song. I wont tell you what its for but… think of whats happening during that song in ACT 1, and know that it will be a much bigger deal in ACT 2 when you eventually see it. i don’t have any information wrt “when” that would be helpful to you. its barely even helpful to me. a real “buddy, they dont even let ME fuck the flag” situation. this is a reference to a popular tweet. im not an insane person i swear. anyway nihkees sprite is absolutely fucking ripped. the size of this lad. the A in LGBTQA+ stands for ABSOLUTE UNIT apparently.I know it does not please do not @ me i am so fucking tired.

FOZZER’S THEME - GRAVEYARD SHIFT (PLAY THE ROUTE AND THEN TWEET @hamesatron ABOUT HOW GOOD THIS TITLE IS) this is literally the first track i wrote for the game. this piano motif a melody had been something i was kicking around back in like 2012 as a song for rose i think. when andrew originally talked to toby and i he gave us very specific marching orders about what songs to write. it was two songs. a haunted mansion and a “subway full of juggalos” i mentioned before we went through a handful of “haunted mansion” ideas for HARLEHOUSE that were like too spooky and not campy enough. this was one of those spooky takes. we ended up using this theme for something of more… significance. – I will talk about this more once the route is available, the rest is spoilers.

MARVUS’S THEME: CLOWNFUCKER I think Toby actually named this one. The idea here is that you start with a normal song and slowly work your way to the weird clown shit. this is meant to reflect the real life struggle of finding someone hot and slowly but surely acclimating to the fact that they are a clown. we all been there. extremely relatable.

i got that weird laugh from toby as an mp3 and i THINK its from a spiderman game. it could just be toby’s own impish laughter but probably not. toby has a hearty joy-filled laugh with exactly 0% in the vein of clownery. i love toby so much.

so here we are. friendsim friday and i have to act like clownfuckery is just another aspect of my life akin to say a sweet tooth or psoriasis. like “yeah man we all done fugged a clown once am i right fellas” over here grasping at straws, desperation in my voice “r-right??? fellas???”

his name was daniel and he really loved ICP and i think now he works as a manager at a taco bell. yeah thats right daniel. i’m callin you out you nasty juggalo. my inherited army of teens are comin into your taco bell and taking all your fuego sauce. dont call me. that felt good. i feel better. what were we talkin about?
