hi!! I'm elusive from the Homestuck Daily team (a Homestuck news & showcase site), we're doing a fanart showcase soon to show cool art people did about the last upd8 (we delayed it this time to wait for extra fanarts), can we feature this artwork you did?
you'll be fully credited of course, with the link on your artwork leading back to your post here (or on a different site if you want) and the link below it redirecting people on your preferred social platform (or a linktree)
thank you for your time! u-u -elusive
heya! thank you for asking, and I'd love for my upd8 art to be included! no problemo, it's awesome to be part of something like that. it would be great if you could link it back here and credit it to this tumblr blog as well.
can't wait to see the showcase and everyone else's talent too! :)
waddaya mean this didn't happen too
local egbert converses w/ amogus balls vriska in real life 4k
waddaya mean this isn't what happened
(I drew brain ghost dirk all blobby and thought it was so funny, so I just left it lmao. The puns disintegrated his spectral frame.)
on realness and the hope aspect
honestly i feel like a lot of ppl missed the point and just blindly agreed w/ vriska on the candy timeline's "fakeness". like. hmm (rambles)
this post from fefairys is a nice way of putting it: homestuck doesn't like to say things are just one way. if anything the john + vris convo is just a summary of the entire point of the epilogues: both scenarios are equally possible and equally real, bc to the ppl who live them, they r real. maybe one is the technically "right" timeline, but they both exist concretely, because what goes on in one affects the other.
vriska is partially right, but so is john. the timeline is wrong, but it's not fake.
that's the power of hope! not that sort of hope, i mean this hope. the one that has the ability to believe so hard in something, it becomes real. like an imaginary version of your ex-boyfriend. or an alternate timeline. where rage cries out against implausible things, pushing it back with force, hope imagines things so hard they warp reality around them just to exist (think adam from good omens). it doesn't have to make sense, it just has to be held up by enough people believing in it.
the characters of the candy timeline believe that they are real, and so they are. you could make the same argument for the score of doomed timelines that riddle much of regular homestuck honestly. im a bit jumbled but yea. food for thought
In the meat timeline jasprose talked to Jane and convinced her not to be the president and took her and Jane to the ship with Dave karkat roxy calliope and Kanaya before Vriska took the omega kids came, basically leaving earth C in the candy timeline to die out in its lack of canonicity.
In the meat timeline June's house never got destroyed because there was no war. Those letters were probably things from roxy and rose?? That part I'm not 100% sure on.
I sometimes forget roxy and June weren't married in the Canon timeline ,,,,
I'm p sure jasprose is just there to point to the side/bonus comic where meat timeline Jane is convinced not to be an evil dictator president.
alright I’m pretty sure what happened at the end of the update was that Vriska accidentally hit the ship while Biden Bolt-ing the omega kids to deltritus but
anybody know what the hell is going on in these panels? I have literally no clue.
