#Your Words Destroyed My Planet

DAVESOLKAT ACROSS THE UNDAVERSE!!

I've been utterly obsessed with Unda’s fics over the past few months, so I challenged myself to draw EVERY ITERATION of Karkat, Sollux, and Dave across their series. 

#homestuck #home22tuck #dave strider #karkat vantas #sollux captor #davesolkat #chris doodles #mc escher that's my favorite mc #alternate universe #dayvhe's broken diamond club #your words destroyed my planet #dbdc #ywdmp #dbdc's two sets feature pre-timeskip and post-timeskip designs #that being their adult forms #highjack--wireless-and the reformer #ywdmp's two sets are more just to show where the characters started vs closer to where they are in the current fic time. #also i had to find a way to show off dave's tattoos #i literally had such a blast with this #it was so fun trying to come up with unique takes on their characters #especially based on the tone and atmosphere of each fic's unique setting #literally cannot recommend unda's writing enough #they're such an AMAZING storyteller #even if you havent read homestuck #alternate universe and ywdmp are fairly non-hs reader friendly #especially AU

This little sequence near the end of chapter 26 of ywdmp lives in my head rent free lmao

Alrighty! Now for fanart for Unda’s “Your Words Destroyed my Planet”!

This fic vies for my favorite with MC Escher and DBDC; actually, it probably comes out on top! It’s an epic futuristic sci-fi where the cast consists of all grownass adults instead of teens, which makes their interactions and mental knots more interesting to me.

As usual, the endgame ship is Davesolkat, which this first pic unsubtly conveys! (Dave has black robot eyes in the fic, and how did you know I use goatees as shorthand for someone being an adult—)

The second pic is for Sollux (naturally) and (SPOILER) enjoying some quiet time. This scene was lovely and I like, NEEDED to draw it. 💛

This next pic is self-explanatory. Karkat’s doing his best!!

And finally, a more rough drawing of the metaphysical shenanigans going down in the latest chapter:

Ooh so spooky! I’m so excited for the story to continue, it’s so damn good! ✨

hi! your blog is one of my favourites and i absolutely adore reading your thoughts. my grandfather recently passed away and it feels like i lost myself with him. how do i continue living after this? there is this constant weight on my chest and it feels like an emptiness has made a home inside of me. how do i go on when it feels like the world crashed on my shoulders?

hello, love! this is so very sweet and kind of you, and i hope you're treating yourself gently and kindly right now - there aren't words for a loss like this. that heaviness is difficult, and hard, and painful. it's okay if things don't feel okay, right now, or even soon - i think that's something that a lot of the people i know that have gone through similar grief feel: like they should be able to get back to a relative 'normal' in a [insert far too short period of time].

but it's okay if it hurts. that's where i'd like to start. you're allowed to feel that emptiness, that world-crashed feeling that goes beyond words, beyond time. don't feel like you have to rush this to feel some sort of better. things get easier with time, i promise you this, but sometimes painful feelings are important to feel, too. cry, scream, feel your emotions. they're a part of you. grieve.

it's perhaps a little silly, but when i think about death i always think about a couple of space songs: mainly drops of jupiter by train and saturn by sleeping at last. there are perhaps others that speak to the emotions better, but these two have always hit something a little deeper for me, and are popular for a wide-reaching reason.

and while personally i don't know much about grief like this, i do know a lot about love; and i think they're a lot of the same thing.

the people we love are a part of us, and this is why it takes from us so deeply when we lose them, because it does feel like we've lost a part of ourselves in the wake of it. but it's because they were so central to our experiences of living - our lives, that the separation introduces a hollowness - a place where they used to be. a home that now goes unlived in.

an emptiness, like you said.

but just because they're not here physically, doesn't mean he's not still there, in your heart, in your life, your memory. you can hold him close in smaller ways, as well: steal a sweater, or cologne/scent for something a little more physical and long lasting for remembering. hold onto the memories you cherish, the things that made you laugh, the ease of slow mornings and gentle nights. write them all down, slide a few photographs in there, go through it and add more when you miss him. keep them all close, keep them in your heart.

you're not alone, in this. he's still there, with you, it's just - in the little things.

he's with you in the way you see and go about your daily life, in doing what he liked to do, in the ways he interacted with the world that you shared with him. the memories you recall fondly when the night is late or the moment is right and something calls it into you like a melody, an old bell, laughter you'd recognize anywhere.

but i think, perhaps most importantly above all others - talk about him. with your family, your friends, his friends, strangers; stories are how we keep the people we love alive. the connections they've made, the legacies and experiences they've left behind, and so, so many stories.

how lucky, we are - to love so much it takes a piece of us when they go. grief is the other side of the coin, but it does not mean our love goes away. it lives in you. it lives in everyone who knew him, in the smallest pieces of our lives.

the people we love never really leave us, like this: they're in how we cook and the way we fold our newspapers, our laundry, in the radio stations we tune in to and the way we decorate our walls, our photo albums. they're in the way we store our mail, organize our closets, the scribbled notes in the indexes of our books. the meals we love and the drinks we mix, the way we spend time with one another. they've been passed down for generations, for longer than history - and we are all the luckier for it.

think about what you shared with him, and do it intentionally. bring him into your life, like this, again. whether it's crosswords or poetry or sports or anything else. if one doesn't help, try another. something might click.

i hope things feel a little easier for you, as they tend to do only with time. i hope you find joy in your grief, even if it is small and hard to grasp at first. know that your hurt stems from so much love that there isn't a place to put it properly, and that it is something so meaningful and hurting poets and storytellers have been struggling to put it into words and sounds that feel like the fit right for eons, and that it is also just simply yours. sometimes things don't have to make sense. sometimes they just are - unable to be put into words or neat little sentiments, as unfair and tragic as they come.

but i promise it will not feel like this forever. your love is real. and perhaps, on where to begin on from here - i think it's less on finding where to begin and just beginning. and you've already started. you've taken the most important and crucial step: the first one. wherever you go, after that, from here? you'll figure it out. you always have, and you always do. it'll come, as things always do. love leads us, as does light - and you're never alone in your hurt. in your grief, your missing something dear to you. i think if you talk about it with others, you'll find they have ways of helping you cope as well - and they have so much love of their own to spare, too.

as an aside, here is the song (northern star by dom fera) i was listening to when i wrote this, for no other reason more than it makes me think of connections, and love, and how we hold onto the people we love and how they change us, wonderfully and intrinsically. it's a little more joyous than the others i've mentioned, and plays like a story, and it made me think of what is at the core of this, love and stories and i am here with you, and maybe it'll bring you some joy, if you'd like it. wishing you all my love and ease 💛

#q&a. #birdsong. #wishing u gentle ease; the death of a loved one is near inexplicable to put into words and i hope you take care of yourself gently <3 #i hope this will make u laugh: when i was a tiny child in middle school there were times i would go outside in my tiny suburban cul de sac- #in the rain and sing along to my lil ipod nano and i only remember doing this to drops of jupiter. can you imagine going out to get the mai #after a long day of work and you just hear this kid singing train in the streets. in the RAIN.... it makes me laugh like i really. #i really thought i was so cool and deep and emotional ghjkd but i find it v funny that i only remember it w/ that one train track. #and saturn just. it's my fav s.a.l. song for a reason. that slow violin opening? the piano coming in gentle and easy? #it feels like light. like hope. like something new - a dawn after the long dark. that beautiful things can begin again even where #it hurts. and there is nothing more human than a sentiment like that. #how rare and beautiful it is to truly exist. what it is to be alive and get to be here and live with other people. with those we love. #i think your grandfather was so lucky to be able to know you. to have you in his life for the time you had together. #i'm no spiritual person; but i like to believe when you're thinking about him? he's thinking about you too. #the second law of thermodynamics (physics nerd mode) is that no energy has ever been created/destroyed since the beginning of the universe. #so it has to go somewhere - it's that carl sagan quote of 'we're all made of stardust'. because we are. we used to be stars; planets; etc. #i think it's why i think of these space songs - because they're a part of everything; once more; when they go. us and everything else.

Dearest,

I would rather have millions of arrows shoot through my heart than see you upset with me. The fact I'm why you're upset makes my heart snap and twinge. I'd rather die a thousand deaths over and over again than to live with that fact. You are art and I love art oh so much, I would love to spend years just to paint you and you alone. May i use you as my canvas? May I have the honor of painting you with the color of my lipstick and the color of the little nibbles I snuck in our intimate moments? Would you bestow this honor upon me darling?

No context I just wanted to write some stupid shit down before i forgot my writing exercise for the day

#Shout out to my nonexistent lover we been going 4 years strong😝🤞🤞 #I swear plz I need someone to love me or I'll explode. #This is just everywhere lmaooooo💀💀💀 #But okay lol #My God I'm so lonely so I opened up a window to hear sounds of people. #Venus planet of love was destroyed by global warming- #Did it's people want too much too? Did it's people want too much?And I don't want your pity‐I just want somebody near me. #Guess I'm a coward? I just want to feel alright 😝 And I know no one will save me; I just need someone to kiss.Give me one good honest kiss #And I'll be alright #Nobody nobody nobody nobody nobody #OK I'm done lololol #Yall didn't need to hear all this or in ur case read bc the only thing hearing me say these words as I write is my cats #Yeah funfact I talk as I write so i dont forget what I was gonna write.

Coming in at just about 4,000 words and strong contender for top 5 dumbest things I've exerted intellectual effort on over the course of multiple days, I've just written an essay that thoroughly explains all the Homestuck quadrants both in canon's terms and in the terms of my favorite fics, as well as explaining why I think the fics did it better.

While it's written mainly from the perspective of critiquing the initial quadrant exposition in canon, it does thoroughly explain multiple perspectives on each quadrant, so it could possibly help someone who doesn't get quadrants so long as that person also doesn't mind reading really wordy, long paragraphs that keep referencing characters and stories they aren't familiar with. If you know anyone like that, share this with them and let me know how it goes I guess, LMAO
