howdy, my name is velcro and getting my hands on this url is my greatest achievement to date. i caved and decided to make a homestuck sideblog in the year of our lord 2022 2023 2024

distant suffering
Also you have to show your work. If anyone puts Gamzee forth because "lol florida man high on drugs and committing violence" I'm giving you The Boot
this homestuck discourse shit is easy
gamzee kills people because he is trying to spoil the show; he's going off script because he wants to be written out.
before murderstuck, gamzee has no idea that he is a clown. sure, he anoints his face with greasepaint, rides a unicycle, and juggles, but these are serious religious sacraments to him. and, sure, sometimes he trips on his giant floppy shoes and lands face first in a pie, but that's just being blessed with a miracle, because he was just thinking about pie. and, sure, sometimes his friends say things like "HEY ASSHOLE. CLOWN ASSHOLE. YOU WORSHIP A CLOWN RELIGXON. FOR CLOWNS." to him, but he's too zonked on sopor slime to extract any meaning from it.
when gamzee sees the ICP miracles video, he's too sober to dismiss it as a mere coincidence; for once, he gets the joke, and realises that he was the butt of the joke the whole time. he understands that every time he fell face first in a pie, it was the work of an unsen riddler. he grasps that he is, in a cosmic sense, a clown, and hates it.
the next time the curtain rises and hussie says "everyone look! he's about to do something stupid!" gamzee goes shithive maggots and starts mauling his friends and fondling corpses; every time hussie says "don't worry, folks, he can't hear us making fun of him! everyone point and laugh!" gamzee gets angrier. that's what the "are you next?" bit is about - gamzee is aware of, and hates, the audience.
when the murder spree is over, gamzee's beatific grin returns; no longer a look of blank ignorance, but a knowing smirk. he's successfully ruined his character forever - no one wants to see him and no one thinks he's funny. hussie seems to say: jesus you are such a shitty clown. and gamzee's impassive face seems to say: i know.
gamzee refuses to clown out of spite, and hussie refuses to remove gamzee from the story out of spite. it's a committed relationship of reciprocal, mutual antagonism. what i'm saying is that hussie and gamzee ar
hello i dont mean to put on pressure but do you plan on continuing your very great amazing vrisrezi fic
hello ^_^ first of all thank you for the compliment, i rlly appreciate it :]
also yes, i do plan on continuing it! chapter six is in the works, ive just gotten distracted by a bunch of other stuff recently
here's what we got a look at in the panel today! :D
during the entire stream, a song by james roach from the Act 3 OST played in the background, which used similar sounds to the wii channel shop theme.
started off with some lovely background art of the area outside of fiamet's hive by xamag, followed by some character sprites of trolls done by dagmar! along with a still image of an imperial drone by paperseverywhere.
onhors's pants were reportedly a point of contention, as their design was difficult to stylize and simplify!
then we got a couple more lovely backgrounds by xamag of a mall, cridea's hive, some areas within the jadeblood caverns, and a spaceship with a giant heart in the inside?!
the team members commented that you can infer a lot about cridea's personality just from her room, which has a lot of cute animations in it in the actual game. they also mentioned that her design was reworked from its initial version and it's a lot cuter now!
apparently, we will be seeing a few "mall crawler jades" who were designed for this area. this is also where the new james roach track plays
this cavern entrance gate is a piece of adult-designed technology that has since fallen into disrepair over the sweeps. the team talked for a moment about how much adult-built architecture there may be abandoned all over alternia.
it was spoiled for us that joey is going to space!
the team talked a lot about how they would love to tell us the lore behind this heart, and many other alternian and hiveswapian things, but they must resist until the game is released.
after this they moved on to the QNA portion which i'll post separately :]
hope everyone is excited for the next installment of hiveswap!
you guys didn't ask for it but you're getting it:
dammek buys a specific snack in bulk that's called "oishii mushi", which seems to mean delicious bug in japanese (according to google). based on the packaging i'm reminded of ramen, but it's probably more of a microwave meal based on the picture.
