I honestly thought for awhile that I'd already posted these here but it seems I hadn't, h
So sometime around August of 2021 I remember I was either talking with a friend about this or I might have just seen them talking offhandedly about like, what would the characters from Guidestuck have looked like if they were actually designed to work with the homestuck sprite style or something along those lines, and for fun I tried drawing what that would look like. (my initial designs were the ones in the bottom image, the top ones are just a drawing of em I did later showing the designs in better detail In March of 2022)
I'll admit, I still feel a little bad about my design for Bec since while I was drawing it, I was probably thinking way too much at the time about Guy Dian from the exceptionally good sburbventure Divine Interference: Cosmic Exertion, who is very much another character who's design was based off of becquerel, Sorry for very mildly and accidentally ripping you off RadicalDude42..

Pgs. 47-59
truly the best part about any guardian is their insane and overwhelming obsession with 1 very particular and niche type of object for what seems like no discernable reason. Dad Egbert is this fucking suburban blue collar working man, the poster child of the American dream, and for some fucking reason he REALLY likes HARLEQUINS.
not just CLOWNS, HARLEQUINS, very particular genre of the clown medium, personally I’m more into jesters.
he even considers them a GIFT, a LIFE-SIZED STUFFED HARLEQUIN for YOUR CHILD.
the harlequin that also causes all of Homestuck to happen of course.
and he just
bakes shit.
not just as in he likes to bake, he continually bakes shit as a pastime and just leaves it all around the house. there is a WHOLE CAKE on the fucking COUCH.
this really speaks to why Dad’s 1 of my absolute favorites, because I knew people like this as a kid. parents or family friends who were, by all accounts, completely normal and average people, but just had That 1 Thing about em I simply could not comprehend. 1 of them had as many Thomas Kinkade paintings as I could register in my head, they were all so sappy you’d think you walked into the fucking forest. another guy had the most typical suburban home ever, but on random shelves you would just see Jesus statue, Jesus statue, Jesus statue, just this whole collection of biblical figures top to bottom.
I felt seen when I was introduced to Dad, he’s just such a guy.
and then you have John over here, whose narration has been implying some form of discontent with his father. the comic was keeping things vague until now, but it seemed like there was something about Dad that John just didn’t like. maybe they can’t connect probably? maybe Dad is too strict? maybe John is too rebellious?
no.
it’s the FUCKING CAKES AND CLOWNS.
the 2 THINGS that SINKS THIS KID’S ENTIRE PERCEPTION OF HIS PARENTAL FIGURE.
BAKED GOODS, specifically produced by Betty Crocker,
and THE PERFORMANCE ART OF CLOWNERY.
could you imagine talking about your parents with John in the room, like-
“oh yeah, my mom’s kind of an ass. she forced me to buy my own phone with money I got from jobs when I was only 14.”
“oh lemme tell ya something! my dad, he can’t stop making cakes! and there’s harlequins all over the walls and shelves! I can’t stand it!”
I would say 1st world problems but no world is suited for whatever fucking issue the collection of jokesters is.
this is the kind of thing that puts me off of abusive Dad interpretations or fics, because there is absolutely no genuine angst between him and John at all. the Egbert household has no real human problems, they have a scuffle in regards to if the classical goofy performers of ye olde times are valid or not.
if we had June happen and she came out to Dad, his 1st response would not be something shitty and mean like “WRONG!!! YOU ARE NOT A WOMAN YOU ARE MY SON!!! BE MANLY!!!” he’d think that the best way to celebrate this would be making a gender reveal cake stuffed with fucking Weird Pink Slime, and then proceed to gift the little girl a Harley Quinn shirt because she’s a Girl Clown.
