My Immortalstuck 9 - Tumblr stop ruining the image quality challenge 2k24 edition. Btw, this is probably obvious but I'm omitting most of the references to self-harm for Personal Reasons :]

There's a New Character next week. I will be very amused if anyone guesses who.

96 92 51? for the hs ask game thingy

96- What would your lusus be?

bunny rabbit! theyre small and always scared just like me

92- Favorite typing quirk?

in homestuck: gamzee, specifically the pre-horrorstuck version

in V2: babe, its cute and i think shows how emotional and expressive she is

51- One ship you didn’t like at first, but like now

i didnt think a lot about shipping when i first read it (i got into hs because of a davekat animatic so i was biased) but ive grown an appreciation for almost all homestuck ships like its really a multi-shippers paradise

i can get behind any and all ships as long as its funny and legal

#pestering #origionally babe was gonna have an uwu quirk #specific ships in hs i like: davekat(duh). javepeta. johnrezi. calliroxy. rosemary #i think dirkjake can be interesting but in a past tense sorta way #dirkuu and johndirk are sooi funny to me but can only exist in a fandom way #davejade is growing on my but again in a past tense sorta way #solkat also makes a lot of sense to me they remind me of my ex who im still friends with #arasol is great but that goes without saying

[badlydrawndavepeta]

solkat AND erisol

B33 < the three trolls that efurryone is going wild for lately huh

B33 < those thr33 are like a volleyball they go back and forth and back and forth

B33 < you never know where that meowtherfucker is gonna land after gettin tossed around all willy nilly like last w33ks mewspaper and the small delivery child on a two wh33led device is only getting less and less cautious about where theyre throwing that thing

B33 < theres a lot of pawtential fur both red and black leanings if they can get past their t33nage moodiness and talk things out and if they go fur one quadrant collectively my money is on ashen

B33 < litterally everyone and their lusus has had an ashen crush on eridan and sollux and you know what sure maybe im included in that but it takes thr33 links to make a chain and they didnt s33m interested back so ive pulled my horse out of THAT race

B33 < the only quadrant i definitely CANNOT s33 their relationship taking is a purrly pale relationship betw33n all three of them, theres just a tad too much animosity to make that work cohesively but theyre in a good state fur flush or blackrom

B33 < or hell i could s33 them mixing quadrants

B33 < im a modern purrson i k33p up with the times and quadrant smearing is getting more common

B33 < i f33l like they could make it work so long as they sort shit out vis a vis previously established t33nage moodiness

B33 < any way i n33d a break from this game of cheaters volleyball betw33n four people who dont know how to play so im gonna go grab a drink s33 yall in a bit

7 w/ solkat?

7. Unflinchingly settling your head into your lover’s lap while they watch television/are reading a book/doing their favorite hobby. Then asking your lover to explain what’s going on/what they’re doing. i wrote this stream of consciousness and i dont feel like editing it so you get what you get

The nice thing about Karkat is that he's always good for background noise. Whenever you need something else to drown out the voices, he's always there, ranting and raving about some inane bullshit you couldn't care less about, but enjoy hearing regardless. It's an odd day when you can't hear him puttering around the house and mumbling under his breath, cursing out a chair you didn't push in that he tripped over or the food that isn't cooking fast enough. The cat Dave convinced you (convinced Karkat, just by virtue of forcing Karkat to hold it for more than five minutes until all the ice around Karkat's heart melted) to take in is just as loud as he is, and at all hours of the day, you can hear them talking to each other, Karkat's grumble interspersed with the cat's loud meows.

He's quiet today, though. Rose left him with a new book the other day, and apparently today is the day he has the attention span to devour it. You're treated to an uncharacteristic silence as you work, and for a while, it's sort of nice. Until it isn't.

You give up on coding when it feels like there are bugs crawling under your skin, irritation at a boiling point. The code isn't making sense, you can't concentrate, and the screams of the imminently doomed are no longer background, piercing howls destroying any coherent thought you might have left. Your wrists are sore, your neck hurts, your head is throbbing, you're stiff and your eyes are dry and you can't remember the last time you ate. You're done.

Sparks jump from your fingertips as you shove your chair back and ditch your computer. There's a buzzing in your ears that's probably you, but you're too irritable to care as you stalk down the hall to the kitchen. Nothing sounds good, but you know you need to eat if you want to push through this, so you tug open cupboards and force yourself to consider the food anyway.

The cat (Dave wanted to name it Carcinisation; you wanted to name it Hexadecimal. In the end, you compromised on Hexbug, because Karkat said there was no way Dave was naming it after him, Rose liked the nickname Hex, and Dave liked the callback to a human toy you've never heard of) starts meowing at you immediately, trailing a few paces behind you like a starving stray, when you're 100% sure Karkat has been feeding him all his little heart desires. He's as obnoxious and needy as the human who brought him here, and you ignore him, because he's being dramatic and you're so charged up you think you'd shock him if you even tried to pet him. (You do drop him a few treats, because you feel bad.)

In the end, you heat up leftovers. The smell of warm orange chicken makes your stomach perk up a little, and as you eat a few pieces on the way to the couch, you feel a little less like blowing your apartment off the map.

Karkat, predictably, has tucked himself into his favorite corner of the couch with a blanket and the new book. Hex runs past you to jump up on the arm of the couch and complain about your abuse, and without looking up, Karkat lifts a hand to scratch Hex's little, whining head. Because you are the superior lifeform, you flop down on Karkat's other side and bravely resist the urge to complain about Hex framing you.

Karkat looks up for you, though. He blinks the way he does when he's been reading too long, like his eyes are refocusing like a camera lens, and he can't quite see what's in front of him right away. "You look like shit," is the first thing he says.

"Wow, thanks." Despite yourself, you feel your grouchiness crack a little. It probably helps that you're eating now, but there's just something about Karkat, too.

His fingers brush through your hair, like swiping away the static. "You're sparking."

"You don't say."

"Sometimes you don't notice." He's right. He stretches his legs out, unfurling, and his knee pushes into yours. "How's your head?"

"Hurting."

He hums. You don't give him much to work with, and he watches you for a while, thinking. His fingers fiddle absently with the hair at the nape of your neck, arm propped against the back of the couch. His presence makes you feel a little bit more grounded, and so you eat and try to focus on that. Eventually, his eyes drift back to his book.

By the time you finish eating, it stops feeling like enough. You feel less shaky and irritable, but your head is pounding with the force of screams, and you need something else. You push your empty bowl back on the coffee table and twist, dropping sideways across the couch with your head in Karkat's lap. He has to lift his book to accommodate you, but he doesn't protest for a second, seemingly expecting it. His nails drag soothingly along your scalp, and your eyes shut instantly, a wave of relief rolling over you. This is what you needed. Definitely.

Hexbug weaves between you like an asshole, determined to fit himself in the middle of the action. He plops down in the middle of your chest like a big, furry sack of shit, squirming into you to get comfortable until you start petting him. He goes loose instantly, purring quietly at first, and then loudly, the vibration of it rattling your very bones. It feels like it shakes the pain out of you, some inexplicable healing power stored in the rumble of your adorabeast. "He's louder than you," you tell Karkat.

"Tell me something new," Karkat mutters, absentminded.

"What are you reading?"

"Are you asking because you care, or because you want to rag on my taste?"

"Legally, I'm obligated to say the latter, but you know it's both."

Karkat sighs. And then, he talks. And he keeps talking. And the voices fade a little further into the back of your mind, and you relax.

DBDC Chapter 28, a deliciously angsty SolKat hug, and Dayvhe having to say dumb shit out loud.

you’d think i’d be ready for 413 this year but unfortunately for the past 2 months every time i sat down to draw homestuck solkat would materialize on my ipad screen after blacking out for 1hr. sorry johnnyboy

#at least i still have the john pic i drew for 413 years ago. let me fetch it

[sumbier0]

Om people are so right about Unda fics, they are truly great. I read Mc esher [and Later Alternate Universe] only because fanarts kept popping up along with words of praise. And yeah they were right! I especially enjoyed AU so that's what I will talk about in detail :]

Just. One of the biggest joys of this fic for me was the world as a whole - it was so Rich, full of little things, so distinct. How spells are handled, all of different species in this fic, and also gods, it all was visibly written with care.

And all of mysteries slowly unraveled and pieced together,,, it was very fun to brainstorm what the answers could be. At first I thought figuring out what Karkat is would be the end of it but the stakes just kept getting higher until it all crashed. Also the whole climax!! It was such a rollercoaster of emotions and batshit stuff happening [positive] + some entertaining court drama.

Also a big positive of this fic was how well written blackromance was in it - it genuinely felt how it could be like, and got us some fun shennanigans. Halloween scene? Absolute perfection. Also I just always like good dose solkat but thats a personal preference lmao.

Also Rose and Karkat friendship in this was neat. They care about eachother so much and trust [ Rose from the past literally in a self recorded video said that she trust him the most]. And this fic made me realise their potential. Also Hal's inclusion made me happy.

Just all characters were so nicely written it was awesome to see all of them.

Honestly there's so much I could say yet I dont know how to just. Fit all of it into words

There were zombies at one point. Scratch lives on the moon with neil Armstrong and some other guy. Blackhounds are adorable. The end of the world almost happened! Library has a cool boss and workers and also some alive books! Someone got possesed because of a game bro magazine at one point!

Comedy also was great so take a few screenshots:

I geuinely cant fit into words how great this fic was just read it trust me. Im Absolutely going to reread it at some point >:]

#homestuck #milk sits and talks #wooo this was sitting in my drafts for SO long! #writing this makes me want to draw something for AU #hom3stuck #undaverse #I think people also use this tag for unda fics right

My Immortalstuck 7, Contd. - Introducing Lord English, an ugly preppy man with no nose!!

Drawing the awkward teenage early emo trolls was. Very fun. Do I think KK would’ve actually gone full Gerard Way eyeliner? No. And yet.

(+Just found out jpgs are awful and pngs are better. RIP MIS 1-7)

What do you think would happen if Anhema and an alternate universe Sollux met eachother as the same age? Since he's not strictly her dad being from a different universe and all, he might actually talk to her. It would be interesting to see how Anhema reacts to someone with Sollux's personality who doesn't directly ignore her.

it brings me unimaginable joy to say this because this is actually canon!! iirc anhemaquest came from the concept of sollux staying on the meteor and solkat getting together before davekat does, and after anhema learns how to jump timelines & before The Incident happens she does timeline hop over to the past during that theoretical meteorstuck

anhema does recognize that 1) this sollux has no problem with her at all he just minds his own business and the Real issue lies with her being his descendant specifically 2) she cant change the past in this case. whatever happened already happened

you could say that during meteorstuck they get along civilly but to be honest the issue never lied with this version of sollux ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#god this is like my favorite bit of worldbuilding. its one of the earliest bits of timeline shit #its a bit more dubiously canon though bc its either this or the descendant stuck tl that happens.maybe both idk #anhema vantas #anhemaquest #ocs #sollux captor #talking back #lowkey doods

[thymechaos]

still dunno how to fanfic on tumblr, but there was SOME kinda davekat week goin on and this is a thing so 🤷 it’s a free day today which is just as well bc man what even is this

https://archiveofourown.org/works/28403217/chapters/69596454

title: words, and why you love them

pairings: davekat obviously but there will be a shitton of auxiliary pairings. dirkjake, vrisresi, rosemary, idk probably blackrom solkat, others TBA

characters: ALL OF THEM probably

type: multichapter, au, soulmate au, steampunk, romance, hijinks

tw: i’m gonna try to keep the main story p safe, but there’s some implied/referenced past stuff, most obviously transphobia, child abuse, poverty and underage sex work. none of this will be focused on, but i don’t want anyone to be caught unawares.

published chapters: 1, update schedule explained in notes

brief summary: modern earth but steampunk and with trolls, soulmates are a thing, dave is a linguistics nerd and karkat is a reluctant religious leader. it’s romance in a spicy setting don’t @ me. there are some species swaps of certain characters too, which will be made clear within the fic.

(this will run parallel to a dirkjake fic in the same universe, and probably a vrisresi one too.)

Fanfiction Review Except Not Really It's Just Me Rambling on About the Fics In my Bookmarks on AO3 

Now it’s time to talk about what is actually my favorite favorite, The Great Empire of HIC

Before we really get into it, I have to mention that my favorite book of all time is a fictional biography of a woman in 17th century china called Snowflower and the Secret Fan. It’s from the perspective of a poor girl who, due to circumstances from fucked up Chinese traditions, result in her having a “Soul Sister” (i cant remember what it’s called in Chinese) with a rich girl of her same age and moves her up the social ladder while simultaneously bringing her friend, Snow flower, down the social ladder. The entire novel is her life from age 6 to her elderly years and it’s a fantastic book, definitely gay and I love it.

This is basically that book, but Solkat. This took me two days to read, and it was worth every second. I cried, and still cry many times when I read this. More focus is put on Karkat for sure, but I am a huge sucker for pining, and mutual pining. I think there’s a lot of comedy in this, I love the other characters in this, I love how it really feels like it’s not just a fanfic, like it’s actual canon or at least what actual canon would have looked like if we had more than just Pesterquest to go off of with a no-sgrub session.

This fic is also really good for tender moments, and for the angst, OH THE ANGST, the heartbreak, the grittiness. Even though Sollux isn’t there a lot of the time, it’s made up for the fact that Karkat just feels so fucking real. You feel his emotions with him. It makes you think “what would I have done in this situation” and then you immediately think “i would’ve fucking told Sollux when we were like 16 and still on Alternia but that’s not my business.”

And you think that because you’re not Karkat. Karkat would’ve kept it secret for decades, would’ve rather suffered than been an inconvenience or cause of pain for someone he loves WHICH BY THE WAY

I remember before I read this fic, i was talking to a good friend of mind about how Karkat would be the equivalent of “gay” on Alternia that. And by that, I mean, that Trolls are usually polyamorous, and that not being polyamorous is weird and not a lot of people vibe with that. Karkat is unique in that he’s monogamous, only wanting one partner at a time rather than multiple partners. He didn’t see anyone else while he had feelings for Sollux, and when Sollux had different quadrants, even ones that we understand as platonic and not necessarily romantic, he still felt jealousy. Thinking about Sollux having fuck buddies makes him uncomfortable and upset.

And when I was having this kind of conversation with my friend, I didn’t fully understand it from a troll perspective. Of course it’s easy to understand from a human perspective, humans are mostly monogamous. What I mean is that I didn’t fully process it. It didn’t sink in. But reading this. That shit stuck. That shit not only stuck, but fused into my very soul and took over like plankton in that episode of spongebob, walking me towards my doom of only ever seeing karkat in this interpretation, even though i LOOOOVE my pitch solkat so MUCH and very frequently indulge in it.

I dunno, i kinda like some of the cliche aspects to some of this. The drunk confessions, the drunk confessions again, I love hearing Karkat’s inner monologue. I love hearing how he bottles everything up and internalizes everything, and I love the inner conflict of a small part of him just screaming “kiss him already” and the larger, traumatized by his life as a mutant part of him squishes it very fast.

The moments before the REAL confession is so so so good.

I LOVE, i ADORE, these lines. These two lines happens pretty close in between each other, and you feel it. Sollux just got done grilling the fuck out of Karkat, who’s basically housebound due to specific circumstances and wrangled a love confession out of Karkat, who immediately afterward, ran away and got arrested basically. I think about that first screenshot a lot. I think about that whole SCENE, a lot. Cause if it were anyone else, Sollux would’ve just dropped it. Motherfucker broke his heart, now they’re dead to him. In the vault of suppressed memories you go, and on with my life away from you.

But it’s Karkat. You can’t throw Karkat in that vault, dude, and you know he’s putting so much energy into trying to get this information out of him BECAUSE there’s still something there. He still feels something and that’s why this means so much to him, the explanation from Karkat, obviously.

And when he finally does come out and say it, it’s so tender in the way it happens. The realization that he’s still so in love with Sollux and there’s not much he can do because he already blew it, and Sollux realizes it too, he realizes that not only did Karkat did what he did because he loveD Sollux, he still loves him in a way that shatters his very being and AH this shit makes me quake.

And in the scenes to follow, we see that love of Sollux that we also saw in the beginning, the way he describes him and admires him from afar and also not that afar. He can’t stand how much he loves him because to him, it means nothing, it’s clinging on to the past and holding him back.

See this? this is also fan-fucking-tastic. Like im running out of ways to describe how much i just love this writing. Do you see what I mean by the way Karkat thinks and the way he describes things? This level of detail and fine crafting, but for 500k words and you have my idea of heaven and happiness in it’s purest form. I could link ever screenshot of Karkat describe how beautiful he thinks Sollux is but we’d be here for ever.

One more thing, i swear. When the humans, and by that I mean just dirk and roxy, finally come into the picture, it’s also fucking genius. When Karkat discovers the word “love”, it makes me a little misty in the eyes. The entire time they were using troll language, I was feeling a little saddened, cause Sollux only had the word “pity” to describe this positive affection for him. There was no in between or combination that could make it feel right, and we don’t ever really hear or see them call each other anything official cause there is no word for it. There is no word for “boyfriend” that they can just pluck out of the air and use as a quadrant-neutral description of their love, because their love doesn’t really exist outside of the two of the. Do you see what i mean by karkat is “gay” by troll standards, or does that still not make sense to anyone lmao.

Please PLEASE just go read this fic, it’s a work of fucking art
