I’m sorry - I love free people just as much as the next girl (i live in their hot shot jumpsuits), but as an elder Homestuck, I just can’t help but laugh at the fact that they’re charging $58 for a glorified cosplay crop top that’s a knockoff of the trolls’ shirts…
Haven't posted in a few weeks cause I've been working on some comic pages, and several pictures at once, so I haven't "finished" anything because I kept jumping between stuff. Anyway I finished one of the things, It's Dave Strider from Homestuck if he had a Stand from JJBA. Reddit seemed to like it, and it was fun to draw, just took a hot minute to do lol. I did a variant without text, and with it's stats. Also gonna upload the raw of just Dave here only because the few of you who bother to follow me here deserve a treat. I'm probably gonna do one for John next, and I can't decide between calling his stand "Dust in the Wind" or "Blow Me Away" I'm open to other suggestions. Between that, another Hazbin Hotel picture I'm working on, and a few Comics I've got close to a presentable state, I should be pretty active on here for the next few weeks.
little note for any other jewish VE/HS fans ! There is a server going around on disboard called Murrit’s Kin Dungeon that has recently proven itself to be very unsafe for jews, it prioritises the comfort of neo-nazis in it’s community over jews, and as far as I know the owner herself believes that antisemitism isn’t a real form of oppression and has banned jewish people who tried to call her out on this issue. The server caters to homestuck and VE kins, so if you’re jewish, just know that you may be treated poorly, be wary !
Not sure if I would be the right one to ask since I don't specifically make MSPFA or anything like that in decent comic format.
But ideas I get is some things like questioning canon and trying to make that into a story. Part of it is like What-If scenarios too.
Things like:
Couldn't John try to fix other parts with his retcon powers?
How would a conversation between John and Eridan go? If John was able to tolerate Vriska, how would he feel around Eridan? Would he try to see the best or get pissy at him like he was Caliborn?
How would things play out if the Blue Team trolls lived instead of the ones we got now?
What the hell happened to the people on Blue Team after their death during the HS series? Why don't see them involved? Is it because of personal issues or something else making them not active in the narrative even after Post Retcon?
One of my fave MSPFA asks the question of why were there Kingdoms on Earth C when Wayward Vagabond hated them. And what would happen if he were to find out. Not only it does ask the question about the series, but also addresses how WV was even treated during it all.
Another I like takes a scenario not many asked of what if John and Caliborn did become somewhat close friends. If Caliborn was able to be close to Jake and act more decently than the other Alpha Kids that wanted his dick, why not someone else from the Beta Kids. Sure it also addresses how Davekat just appeared out of nowhere with no substance, but it's cool to see a different approach for John and Caliborn and it surprisingly works.
Other times, scenarios is mostly for dark comedy. Like what if a troll wanted to die to get away from Alternia, but crazy shenanigans happen that prevent him from killing himself. Since trolls use grubs for condiments, cannibalism is not off the table. Would there be a troll(highblood or lowblood) that happily kills other trolls as their food? Could they make a business out of it and nobody minds it because the food is that damn good? What is Eastern Alternia like? Is it an even harsh version of Japan's society standards? Do trolls overwork even more than before? Do they have any distaste for other trolls living in the West?
Most of my ideas are kind of fucked up in many ways, but a kind of curious thing. At least only using something like Alternia as the set up since said planet is a hellhole and it can be used for anyone's game to see how much they could get away and justify doing messed up shit. Too many fanventures focus on rebellion and shit. Alternia is a planet where KIDS do awful shit and most of them are fine with it because hemospectrum and other rules say it is. So how far can it go? Not many experiment on that, even with their fan trolls.
