Haven’t posted art in so long because I’ve had the most terrible art block and am failing at commission work so hard that I’ve forgotten what it’s like to upload stuff without anxiety, oops. Anyway, homed stuck

#i will likely not continue to draw homestuck art at all but I’ve felt like doing a few sketches to work out what I feel like the #characters look like in my head when reading. basic stuff to be explaining in the tags i know. i drew fanart so i can see characters omg #unthinkable. also I might tackle some of the humans but I’d need to stew on that a bit longer as to draw the #… to draw them I’d have to assign them races and I’m not sure what to do w that rn. anyway now I have to tag every character don’t I ughhh #my art #homestuck #gay people grimacing #<— so happy to get to use that tag again #equius zahhak #nepeta leijon #meenah peixes #rufioh nitram #cronus ampora #karkat vantas #as I was typing those in so many variant tags were coming up but that looks like hell to try and gamble with so I’m stopping here #this feels like tag spam already

Too often, humbleness and humility are conflated with downplaying everything about yourself, to make yourself stand out as little as possible, and to compartmentalize anything and everything that makes you you.

Humility and being humble are seen as a way to apologize for being, I've noticed. "Oh, I'm not a good singer or a good writer or that talented or or or..." it is a knee-jerk reaction, one that I think many people use to protect themselves from the hurt of being belittled for their talents or interests or appearance, or anything you may value.

My whole point in this post is that there is a huge difference between being humble and humiliating yourself before anybody has the chance to. I want to encourage people to reflect on how they view humbleness and how one might use humbleness to self-flagelate and punish themself for who they are. It is so hard to break this cycle, but you are worth the time and effort it takes to love and value who and what you are. Everything that makes you you is worth it.

#advice #i don't even know what to tag this as honestly #but it always makes me sad when you notice that somebody may just be trying to humiliate themself in the guise of being humble #and i don't want to assign any moral value to this because so many people genuinely want to hurt themself before others can #and i have found myself doing that too... how can you hurt me if i am already hurt? #how can you hurt me worse than i can? #but: do you deserve that hurt? do you truly deserve to be kicked down and then some? i truly truly doubt it #i just want to invite people to consider how they talk about themself and how it *may* impact how they treat themself #how you treat yourself is just as important as how other people treat you i believe

If there's one thing I like more than time travel it's crossover reincarnation, so.

Botk link reincarnated as Damian Wayne.

An incredible weapon master of all types, but especially prodigious with a sword - he was beating knights at the age of 4 and with his memories as intact as they get for him I can see that goalpost moving even further (probably with traps and tricks, a 3yo doesn't exactly have great bodily control).

He's an excellent survivalist, agile, strong, durable, cunning and creative. He can move like a feather in the breeze, strike from behind with ease. His first kill, an animal, did not stir him as it did the other children. With his poise, grace, skills, obedience, he ought to be ra'as' finest assassin in the making, a jewel in the crown of the league.

Except he never speaks a word. Half his targets escape unscathed. He skates by true punishment on the merit of his skills and achievements in other missions. Testing has shown it is not a physical deformity that prevents his speech, but not even talia has been able to coaxe a word from him past his second birthday.

It is a defect ra'as is growing more and more frustrated by, as each attempt to fix these two final flaws ends in resounding failure. Less extreme solutions are running dry.

Talia fears those solutions. Her child does too, she knows. For them, there is a possible solution, more extreme than anything ra'as would tolerate.

She sends him out of the league. To his father.

To Gotham.

#'gee phoenix that sure sounds like that dp x dc you're normally rattling on about' yeah lol I steal tropes and sell them on the black market #Anyway this has been slowly rotisserie-ing in my head for a while I just like shaking canon like a magic 8 ball #I'd love to explore how link would react to Gotham and how he might see getting suddenly dumped in a found family as the youngest #And how that contrasts with both his expectations in the league and his role as the saviour last hope of a whole country #Because that kid cannot have a modern interpretation of killing. Like monsters? Kill with prejudice loot the corpses. #The yiga might have a little more hindsight understanding and he never killed them anyway but zero hesitation blowing them up #And ganon is so far removed from the concept of 'killing is bad' because a) human??? Monster??? B) literally the problem #C) he's been killing people so it'd even out d) everyone wants him dead So Bad e) been killed already like a dozen times what's one more #I get the feeling he'd assign the same role to the joker like 'widely considered the source of all evil. 'died' several times and came back #personal source of absolute misery for several heroes. Killed many' = slay the monster. Straightforward. #Like yes link always chooses kindness and has a strong morality and Opinion on killing people it's just a lot would be solved #By hitting the joker until he stopped making life miserable for everyone and if that means permanently well that's kind of link's job. #And like with Jason the bats understand that a lot better than they pretend to. But that is a 10yo who should not be thinking like that. #I think it'd be interesting to see how that'd change their reactions to 'Damian'. Like he holds a very similar opinion to og and Jason he #Just goes about it completely differently. #And I'd love to explore the differences between two fictional worlds and how they can go from pretty much the most black/white morality #To probably one of the greyest areas while still holding near identical themes and methods of dealing with that. #Found family compassion as a weapon against evil and copious amounts of weapons and cool gear lol #Also link should keep the arm he's earned it. Reincarnating with all his memories knocked a few other things loose I'd imagine #Mostly because all the loz games I've played have absolutely altered the way I view any link and also I love referencing them. #Damian with telekinesis and infinite glue would be great. A tiny 10yo sword master choosing instead to drop a dumpster on you #In between hurt comfort link beginning to bond with his family and begin to speak and learn sign language from cass #There's also the sound of explosives and a small figure clinging to a flying door as it crosses the Gotham night skies #Speaking of cass I bet her and link would be great friends in this au. #batman #batfam #bruce wayne #loz au #Loz #loz totk

What does he look like as drowned rat?

Them, in all their drowned rat glory.

They start off as a really good agent, filled with confidence and really convincing to others! Then start to find out things on their own that the agency would rather they don't know (also through very illegal means but hey, whatever) and decide to dip.

Before leaving though, they act as the mentor to Clifford, a young and impressionable agent in training... and make sure that he's the best agent he can be according to their very harsh standards. They then even tell the higher ups, hey, kid's ready and you should give him a nice name for missions. And then suggests Bravo, convinced Clifford will accept any code name with gratitude, they want it more personal. But like. Personal to /them/.

So every time someone uses that code name, it's basically praising their hard work with the guy. Anyone who uses the name Bravo is acknowledging Clifford's skills, but more importantly, acknowledging the one who gave him those skills.

#two crime bosses and a very good boy #i really want to assign the mentor a code name but i cant decide on what they would be called #and i need to figure out a few more things about them but still! i like them a lot #theyre basically a very malicious Good Guy who just goes rogue because the agency isnt effective enough #like they do actually want to do Good Things but they want to do it in the worst way possible #very bad at being a good person but doing that very well ya know #and i know i dont really make many nb characters and i know i make a lot of guys #but mentor does use they them pronouns o7 like i know a few people who have said he with them #and ive said he as well simply because originally i did think id make them a him #but then i started thinking about how cool a lady mentor would be and then it evolved into #i just want the mentor to be a puddle... a blob of being..... just this sentient scum bag..... yeah.... #so theyve been through the ringer already with just me trying to settle on pronouns oops #and if you dig really deep down in their heart they really do like cliff it just doesnt really show up much #and it shows up very selfishly but they do actually like the little guy and they do want him to be successful and good

the thing about me is that I have this need to pick up every angel on supernatural by their scruff and place them into an enclosure that will allow them to, if not heal and become better, than at least to be petty and vindictive in a way that causes less death and destruction and is just kind of annoying. which I would argue is also good for them. let angels make choices where the consequences of their actions are non-existent rather than world-ending. teaches them free will in a safe, healthy way.

#this is still about Zachariah to be clear #it’s about all of them. I’m putting them all in such nice enclosures. with so much enrichment #but mostly this is about Zachariah. just kind of want to put him in an actual office and watch him whirr away. maybe he prints things. #stands at a water cooler and makes awkward small talk. #I don’t know what happens in offices. what do I look like. I don’t think he does either really. he just likes the aesthetic #he’s constantly cosplaying and it makes all the other angels slightly uncomfortable like. Okay Zach We Get It. This Is Your Businessman OC. #Can We Please Go Back To Talking About How To Stop Castiel From Breaking Containment For The Fifth Time This Month. #(my integration of old and new angel rebellion canon is per s5 all angels have the capacity to rebel. and many do. often. and are punished #for it. and also per s8 Cas just does it the most because he is so sooo annoying <3 #also maybe because a combination of factors like. Anna is his boss for a lot of that time and she goes lighter on the reprogramming because #she’s already having doubts. and then also he’s paired with Uriel always. they make each other question things. but they also work #too well together for Heaven to separate them. the cost isn’t so high (yet) just toss them in the brain cleaner after each assignment #and they’re still useful.) #sorry this was supposed to be about Zachariah. #his enclosure has fax machines in it. he likes them. you know. the same way most angels like radio towers. he *likes* them. #spn #Zachariah spn

Okay okay, I have some kind of linguistics background, and I've done too much thinking about the base names of the Bugsnax cast. So here's an excessive amount of words. Since Cromdo's name is confirmed as being from Conrad, I've come up with some stuff based on that. And I'm not saying the developers came up with strict phonetic rules for naming the characters! These are just things that make words sound funnier, so they're more likely to stick.

I can't speak for any language other than English, but in English at least: sounds made with the lips are funny. Sounds involving the nose are funny. Voiced stops (g, d, b) are funnier than voiceless stops (k, t, p). Sounds made at the back of the mouth are funny, but not as funny as sounds made with the lips. Consonant clusters are funny.

For vowels, less vowels is funnier than more vowels. Also, vowels pronounced with the tongue lower down or further back are funnier than vowels that are higher or fronter (Actual Linguistics Term), and vowels pronounced with the lips rounded are funnier than unrounded vowels.

By this logic, the cluster "mb" is the funniest sound ever made in English, which might explain why it's in so many names here. And the name of the species, almost.

Since the idea was to make the names silly without making them unrecogniseable, they probably weren't modified too heavily. The main changes for what I think the names were involve shortening long vowels, removing unstressed vowels, and changing consonants to related, funnier consonants. The vowels were also occasionally changed.

Other changes: moving parts of later consonant clusters to the start, and adding in new consonant clusters. Also, a couple of names had an o added to the end, maybe to make them pronounceable again, and some had their spelling changed to something that looks better with English spelling conventions.

Or they just took the whole original name and replaced the first syllable with a funny word, like with Eggabell.

All these names are at least somewhat popular names in English-speaking regions, particularly the US.

Alegander: Alexander (Alexander --(Funnier consonants)-> Alegander)

The x in Alexander is actually a consonant cluster, but the spelling obscures this, so it's treated as one sound.

Beffica: Jessica (Jessica --(funnier consonants)-> Beffica)

Bronica: Veronica (Veronica --(Reduce vowels)-> Vronica --(Funnier consonants)-> Bronica)

Chandlo: Chandler (Chandler --(funnier vowels)-> Chandlo)

Not sure about this one, but it is what I assumed his name was based on when I first saw the character, and I can't think of anything else. …Cadell? Clinton? Kendall?! That last one is kind of plausible, actually.

Clumby: Kimberly (Kimberly --(reduce vowels)--> Kimbly --(move cluster)-> Klimby --(funnier vowels)-> Klumby --(spelling)-> Clumby

Cromdo: Conrad (Conrad --(reduce vowels)-> Conrd --(move cluster)-> Crond --(funnier consonants)-> Cromd --(make pronouncable)-> Cromdo.

Eggabell: Isabell (Isabell --(funny word)-> Eggabell)

Filbo: Philip (Philip --(reduce vowels)-> Philp --(funnier consonants)-> Philb --(make pronounceable)-> Philbo --(spelling)-> Filbo

Floofty: (something with a t?)

I think the basis for this name was a longer name that had the first syllable replaced with a funny word. Floof, in this case. It was then shortened, and used as Floofty's full name. I know shearing off the gendered parts is one way a non-binary person can make a name feel more like theirs, so it comes off as an in-universe enby name as well. At least to me. (Note: I am agender)

This is based on a screenshot from Discord I saw where Kevin Zuhn said "Floofty had a longer name once, but doesn't use it anymore." It wasn't in the screenshot, but I think they said this in response to a question about where Floofty's name came from?

So I'm going to say the base name is Happstablook, The Happy Ghost, because like the bit in Undertale I'm referencing, it's definitely wrong. It's not a great idea to speculate on a name implied to be a deadname. Besides, the complete absence of transition related information was one of the really refreshing things about Floofty's portrayal in the game.

Gramble: Gabriel (Gabriel --(reduce vowels)-> Gabbrl --(move cluster)-> Grabbl --(add cluster)-> Grambl --(spelling)-> Gramble

Lizbert (Elizabert): Elizabeth or Elisabet. (Elisabet --(funnier vowels)-> Elisabert --(spelling)-> Elizabert

Elisabet isn't a popular form of the name in English-speaking regions, but she shortens her name to Lizbert, and Lizbet/Lisbet/Lisbeth are also not really popular in English-speaking regions, so I don't know. Could also be beth --(funnier name)-> bert.

Shelda: Zelda (Zelda --(funnier consonants)-> Shelda)

Zelda is an uncommon name that didn't re-enter the US top 1000 until 2015, but it's not supposed to be common. She's using a name that makes her sound more mystical and wise. Sh is a funnier sound than Z, I guess.

Shellsy: Shelly (Shelly --(add cluster)-> Shellsy)

Snorpy (Snorpington): Remington (Remington --(funny word)-> Snorpington) There's a few English names that end in -ton, but Remington is the only remotely common one that ends in -ington. Snorp is not actually a word, as far as I can tell, but it is a pretty funny non-word.

Triffany: Tiffany (Tiffany --(add cluster)-> Triffany)

Wiggle: Wiggle

Just a funny word without a name underneath. Maybe it's a nickname/stage name? Or maybe not. It's not really indicated either way.

Wambus: ???

I… can't figure his out. I think it probably has an s in it, and an m, a b, or both, based on how I think the other names were changed, but I have no idea what's up with that W. It could be the funnier version of so many other consonants. Or even vowels. I went through a list of masculine names popular in the 2010s, and came out with Amos, Emerson, James, Jamison, Jeremias, Magnus, Memphis, and Seamus. I guess Amos or Seamus would be most likely out of those?

tl;dr: Smear the name to make it Grumpus.
