HAPPY HOMESTUCK DAY U WANT FIC? >:U

It's 4/13 and 4 days ago I finished posting Karkat Vantas vs The Evil Gods, a fic that I've been percolating for more than a decade and am very proud of, and which readers so far seem to have quite enjoyed! So this is me enthusiastically doing jazz hands at my baby. HEY THERE MY FRIEND DO YOU LIKE

1. Humanstuck, vigilante/superhero AUs, eldritch gods, possession/exorcism, religious horror, hurt/comfort and drama?! Alternia City as Basically Gotham?!

2. Riffs on the Winter Soldier/Turns Out The Guy You Love's Not Dead But He Came Back Wrong?! People slowly recovering from horrible dehumanization and learning to be people again through the power of many different forms of support and love?! People negotiating messy poly situations?! Pale Gamkar, even, perhaps?!

3. Copious shenanigans of Space and Time?! The ever-increasing urge to beat Doc Scratch's smug little "Hee Hee Hoo Hoo" ass with your bare fists?! Goddessdemonangel in a sundress?!

3. Ensemble casts whose backstories could sustain multiple spin-off fics each?! ~~And the personnel forms I fabricated and filled out for every single one of them because I've lost control of my life?!~~

WINTERSOLDIERSTUCK WEDNESDAY WSUNDAY BE UPON YE. If you've been on the fence please consider checking out my huge and fully-illustrated brainchild (with an eye to the tags and warnings of course) because I had a lot of fun and think it turned out pretty sick! Thank you for attending my TED talk.

#yeahhhhh that second one. yeah. correct.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️✨ I'm one of the trans artists who worked on Win or Lose, and I'm gonna talk about it 👍

This is a small snippet of the monumental amount of care and skill that went in to developing Kai, every department from casting to story to animation to shading to lighting, and everything outside and in between, handled her with a reverence and kindness that I wish I could hand deliver to every trans person who needs it right now.

went to a screening of this last night & it was absolutely gorgeous and hilarious and joyful and SO SO JOYOUSLY QUEER & all I could think at the end was YES, this is Oscar Wilde on stage, not even as he meant but maybe - hopefully - as he could have dreamed of.

Or, to quote one of the actors, Sharon Clarke: “I think Oscar [Wilde] would look at this and go, ‘That’s what I wanted to be able to do, but I wasn’t able to do it at that time because of where we were.’”

Our Michigan Fleet sequel novel (working title "Run Aground") is a good distance through the editing process, and we plan to post it on Royal Road as a free webnovel starting in late May or early June! Before then, we thought we'd go ahead and get the first book, After the Storm, up there, both to attract new readers and hopefully to entice some of our loyal regulars to reread.

We now have After the Storm fully queued up, posting one illustrated chapter every Sunday at noon EST. Edit: Today, March 23rd, Chapter 8 went up! Illustration below. So here's where you come in: we need as many stars and reviews as we can get on this new platform so when we finally start on the new novel it'll go as well as possible! We are SO looking forward to sharing Run Aground with all of you, and every fav, follow, comment and review will help make it a success.

[Rich with his enthusiastic sports idol Katrina Chau.]

Go check out After the Storm, and make our day!

After four years of hell serving aboard the Sympatico, a dysfunctional ship with a deadly crew, all Rich wants is to prove himself worthy of an unexpected second chance. Get some sun, make some friends, maybe hook up with a cute guy and even learn to relax. But old scars, bad habits, and an insane AI aren’t going to make it easy…

Chapter 14: The Death of Me

“I tried fighting him,” Gamzee says, low and resentful, like the effort of not screaming it is painful. His voice is so raw you can taste the blood between your teeth. “I tried, love. Karkat. Fuck. I tried a hundred motherfucking times! How’d that turn out for me, huh? How’d that leave me?”“It left you here.” You hate that you have to say it—that he has to ask. “It left you with me.”

#Saviors of the World #<<there you go. Feel free to browse my ancient meandering I guess. If you want. I will not be joining you I will crumple and implode #such a blast from the past lol I did NOT have any staying power on long fics back then! Not helped by the fact I didn't plot things out #like. at all uU_U Listen I love my writing style of writing the fun scenes then connecting them but you have to wield it carefully #and figure out the broad strokes BEFORE you start. And in my case. Force yourself to limit how much you post excerpts #because if I post too much and get engagement and good brain juice without actually finishing the work. My brain goes ''HOORAY DONE''#and then I don't actually do the work it turns out lmaooo

Anonymous asked:

I saw an ask mention "Saviors" and it sounded neat, but I've hunted through your Ao3s and can't find it. Where can I read this, if I can still read it? I love your stuff btw.

That's because it was never actually posted! Saviors of the World was a humanstuck superheroes fic that I started dreaming up more than a decade ago ~~when I was worse at naming things~~. I did a lot of writing+art for it, and did a lot of talking about on here, especially the interpersonal dynamics and character work! But I never really managed to pull it together into a full fic. Then I went through a stretch where Homestuck fell off my Dopamine List, and when I came back to it I was like "Hm. This is not a house, or even a construction site, it is a collection of 2x4s nailed inexpertly together with a lot of lovingly-crafted furniture prematurely placed in it" lololol.

If I were to make something of it now, it would need a re-plot and a full rewrite of everything I wrote way back then, and a lot of the stuff in the old tag would be partially or completely jossed. I don't see a high chance of me coming back to it at this point--but for a decade or so there I would have said the same thing about the scraps of melodrama that used to be called "In Cold Blood", which are now 200,000 completed words of Karkat Vantas vs The Evil Gods! So honestly, who knows. :D

Anyway, you're welcome to go through the tag "Saviors of the World" if you'd like to get the vibe, but be warned it's absolutely chock full of uhhh underdeveloped art and immature prose, haha. I do my best to give some respect to the stepping stones that got me where I am, all art is good art because you're making art which improves your art but oof. I have come a LONG way, haha.

Diegetic pale porn. But also loosely on a meta level, Literally Just An Excuse For Egregious Xenofication Of Trolls, What if the bug aliens were bugs. and aliens. what then!!!! Series: Part 3 of Aliens Sure Are Weird

Summary:

“So,” Jade says, marching on ahead with her list like a determined little artilleripper, tapping at her papers. “The…Dark Carnival.” She sounds it out every part one after the other, ‘fatal-funny cullpit of the messiahs’, like how a corpse dismembered and all laid out turns into pieces instead of a whole troll.

“Dark Carnival,” you say, putting the corpse back together to show her, fast and fluid how it’s supposed to flow.

“Dark Carnival,” Jade repeats after you, choking just a little on the shift of chirr into click. “Okay! Say me what does that mean?” – A diplomatic voyage of xenosociological discovery and awkward flirting takes place in Karkat’s shitty living room, heavily backdropped by only the finest of cross-species anatomy textbooks, shitty Alternian cocktails, and schlocky Alternian romance movies.

Surprise!!!!!! More incredibly self-indulgent xeno troll linguistics and worldbuilding nonsense be upon ye!!! Feat. quadrant talk, comparison of intoxicating beverages, a brief diversion for clowns, mutual academic fascination with alien anatomy textbooks, Rose and Kanaya peacocking relentlessly at each other in the background and also Karkat’s chunky little toe-beans.

The reviews are in! The aliens are alien! The moiraillegiance is pale! The linguistics and sociology are xenoing!! *presentation gesture*
