Avatar at ECCC from last week. I need to post these now, or I'll keep forgetting. I'm Koh the Face Stealer in all of these.

Let me know if you're here and I'll tag you!

YESSS! Some else who made this connection! The Last Unicorn is also one of my biggest writing inspirations

The Last Unicorn is a modern retelling of the Fall of Eden/Humanity, and no one will ever convince me otherwise!

99% of my writing inspiration truly comes from "The last Unicorn (1982)".

They really let me hear sentences like:

"Never run from anything immortal; it only attracts their attention."

"I wish you had let the red bull take me, I wish you had left me to the harpy. I can feel this body dying all around me."

"Unicorn, mermaid, sorceress... no name you could give her would surprise or frighten me. I love whom I love."

"I have done you evil and I can not undo it."

And expected me to be chill about it!

Also I wonder if "I can feel this body dying." was something Adam and Eve experienced when their immortality was taken away from them 🤔

Some designs I made @chrisrin gemstuck AU.

Once more, I can not get enough of this AU.

Jack Noir - Rutile: worked in White Diamond's court and hated every second of it. Later ran away.

Onyx (fusion of Jack and Bec): gets into a confrontation with the beta kids at some point, ends up forcefully fusing with with Bec.

Bec Noir - Corrupted Rutile: After separating with Bec, the corruption takes over. He then just goes off to cause havoc until he's eventually captured.

Spades Slick - Healed Rutile: cured from the corruption, but still suffering side effects. Is somewhat "nicer" than before.

Sn0man - Black Pearl: White Diamond's pearl who is very much done with everyone and everything. Has made it her mission to annoy Slick.

Snowflake Obsidian (fusion of Slick and Sn0wman): a powerful hate fusion who doesn't really like anyone, not even themself. Honestly just exists to spite Scratch (White Diamond).

Omg Quinn!! My awful bestie! Stupid little clown man (affectionate) 🩵🧡💜🩷

He listens to Oingo Boingo

The Codependency of Cherubs

Meant to post this weeks ago, but forgot.

Anyway, the cherubs are favorite characters (and fan-characters) of Homestuck. I find their twisted dynamic and relationships so fascinating, I could listen and talk about it for hours. There are so many ways to interpret their story and so much potential.

attack for @chimera-klown !!

this is Cupid !

Wait, what happened to the original jester/monstrux's partner? Cause isn't Jestro an orphan, why aren't they around raise him.

At least Monstrux has the excuse of being trapped in the book.

Consider me intrigued in this AU.

OMG I JUST GOT THIS IDEA AND I NEEED TO SHARE IT N O W

TW FOR MISCARRIAGES AND D3ATH (BTW None of this is canon this is just a headcanon/shit I made up for AU/fan S5 stuff)

Ok, so, imagine: wizards/magic users in Nexo Knights have a hard time having children due to the magic in their bodies. If two magic users were to try for a child, it would be hard for it to survive because of the overwhelming amount of magic (this is why it was a surprise to Merlok when Wanda had two children w/ a non magic user/mortal) HOWEVER there is a way to bypass that. If a wizard can successfully perform a certain complex ritual, they can get themself a wish for anything, even a child. Dracov was able to use that spell and that’s how he was able to have Pola and Fred.

This is when I start to move into more AU territory so scroll if you don’t really care.

Like Wanda, Monstrux really wanted to start his own family, but he didn’t have the courage to do the ritual. It could take months or even YEARS for the wish to come. He also felt like it was unfair, or, “cheating” in some way, even though deep down he really wanted to do it. At times he would take some really young monsters under his wing and teach them things like magic, but he also didn’t have the courage to call them his children, because in reality they were just reimagined versions of others children who had passed… Some time, a few decades into Augustin Halbert’s rule, he hosted a party and invited the Wizards Council. Monstrux is unimpressed and tours the castle sometime during the event. Then, Monstrux ran into the kings royal jester. And. He. Was. Perfect. The jester was a trickster, and Monstrux was head over heals. They hung out a lot after the event, and grew closer and closer, so much so, Monstrux practically had the royal jesters face printed in his mind. Eventually,during his reign on Knighton, Monstrux worked up the courage to propose. The jester said yes. Then, sometime later during the engagement, Monstrux also finally worked up the courage to perform the ritual and wished for a child for them to raise. But alas, the partners in crime were separated when Monstrux was eventually trapped in the Book of Monsters. Fast forward a looong while, Monstrux here’s Merlok, talking about training another student. To his surprise, Monstrux was able to actually see the child even in his book form. The child was almost a spinning image of his late partner, all the way down to the cheekbones, the kid eventually became a jester too! Monstrux’s wish… had been granted.

Made these for a video and I got Kirby and the Forgotten Land for Christmas which I've been playing nonstop stop.

I have been inspired by @chrisrin gemstuck AU, it's so beautifully designed and the ideas for the story as a whole is just so excellent and thoughtful.

I may have a bias in the lack of cherubs, as they are my favorite characters, so I made my own designs of them for this AU, even if they aren't canon, it was still fun to add. :D

I tried my best to find gems that fit both their colors and personality. (I got so lucky with serpentine, it's green and snake-theme, so perfect for Calliope. Also, ruby for Caliborn cause red and angry, not as clever but it still works.)

While I'm not completely satisfied with their outfits (might change later), for the most part I accomplished what I wanted.

I want you all to know I love this AU and can't wait to see more!

Callie/Serpentine - a rare/unique gem who was abandoned under mysterious circumstances. She is reluctantly traveling with a malformed ruby as he won't leave her alone and she's already lost, (later gets corrupted on accident).

Caliborn/Ruby - a spiteful runaway ruby who rejected his role in the empire rather violently, (was cracked when escaping). He now follows a serpentine with unknown intent and unkind words, refusing to leave her side.

Heliotrope - a half corrupted fusion of Callie/Serpentine + Caliborn/Ruby, who were forced to fuse in order to survive a fight. However, both of them are now stuck like this, otherwise they risk putting too much stress on their gems and shattering themselves the moment they unfuse.

that odd feeling between "oh my gosh it was you!" and "wait you're real?" or even "oh dear, I'm so sorry." when I find Christians who act like the negative stereotypes I and my peers would get accused of that I thought were just straw-men until then.

it's just weird finally seeing a group or person after their essence was used as an argument against what you believe or an insult against you.
