have you ever thought to yourself, "hey, maybe I won't be an edgy faggot today?"
Received this ask January of 2017. Just needed to think about it for a bit. Answer is no.
Inherit Furever AU (Alt. Nepeta and Equius arcs in canon)
When I first read Homestuck with someone who was rereading it, bit by bit, they would send me fansongs of characters as we met them, and when I first ran into Nepeta/Equius, I got Phemie C's 'Furever' and 'Inherit Nothing'. The beautiful lyrics had me trying to guess what their plotlines would be with such a strong emphasis on friendship (Nepeta) and broken relationships (Equius). Although things happened differently than what I expected in the canon, I still like how I thought their fates would end up, so I combined the two and got this:
Equius is more serious with his insistance on following the hemospectrum. He doesn't recognize Karkat as his 'leader' and does his own thing instead, much to the annoyance of the mutant-blood. Equius just can't accept it; if nothing matters anymore with how their society had been built, then Equius's beliefs would shatter. He doubles down with Eridan on wanting to keep the caste, becoming more controlling and isolated, much to Nepeta's dismay as she has continuesly tried to sway him into joining in eith everyone else. Eventually, the moirals are forced to separate. It hurts for the both of them, but they just can't agree on things. Equius has hurt her too many times.
He is going to run into a moral dilemma when he makes a plan with Eridan to join the enemy side instead. Ha had tried (unsuccessfully) to recruit Gamzee as the highest-blooded landweller but only got a blank response at first. So Eridan and Equius started their rampage without him.
Eridan would try to convince Feferi; things went wrong again. Equius was searching for Karkat to kill him, convinced that doing so would set things right and make Nepeta have no choice but to go with them. On his way, he runs into Gamzee, walking around with the head of Tavros. Equius nervously asks if the purple-blood has joined their cause and, in a haze, Gamzee agrees. 'Kill the lowerbloods...' Gamzee whispers with a smirk, as he walks on ahead to seek his next victim. Equius is giddy, feeling things are finally going right.
He catches Karkat, there's a struggle and a chase as Karkat realizes what's happening and runs away. Now with the added pressure od wanting to to follow an order by his 'superior', Equius is taking this much more seriously. He unfortunately, loses Karkat when he steps outside the base. There's a wide river, and Equius can barely make out two figures on the other side. It's Nepeta... and Gamzee. He has her on a chokehold.
'Kill the lowbloods.'
His loyalties are twisted. This is what his incompetence with the bow should have been foreshadowing for, as hes too far away to save her with his strength, his only hope now is to draw on his bow and arrow.
So nervous, his hands shaking, he decides what side he wants to be on. He aims. He fires. The bow shatters in slow motion behind the arrow as blood blossoms into frame behind it. The camera follows the arrow as it goes towards its target getting faster, and faster until it lands squarely on Gamzee's shoulder, making him drop Nepeta, saving his friend but costing him his life as while he was distracted, he was pierced by a sickle.
Nepeta screams.
Equius's body drops to show Karkat, looking confused and trembling, stepping away from the body with his eyes fixated on the arrow on Gamzee's shoulder. Nepeta watched her moiral save her and die for it.
She is numb. Karkat has apologized and explained that he had been hunted by Equius and thought he was going to shoot her, but Nepeta is unresponsive.
As the adventure pauses and the humans join, they have the 'Corpse Party', and Nepeta gets a little too emotional. To herself, she vows revenge, filled with anger. While everyone else is socializing, she skulks in the shadows and hunts the troll Equius saved her from, choosing to put the blame on him (and a bit on Karkat.)
So yeah. Nepeta lives in this au lol
And eventually gets to be the one to kill Gamzee cuz woohoo
(I'll make sketches for this AU later)
They should invent a phrase as incredibly evocative as "killing myself" that isnt about killing yourself
"why does the anthropomorphic reptile species have titties" because titties are a force for good in this and all worlds next question
glad the dragongirl population agrees
i hope donkey kong walks into my house and smashes a barrel over my head killing me instantly
i wonder if the person who wrote this knows they changed the course of history
The Met Gala is, if nothing else, an opportunity for many rich and famous people to express their wealth and fame in the most ostentatious way possible. It is saying "Here is a space where it is somewhat acceptable to really lean into your wealth and fame. Express this however you like." and it is interesting to see what people do with that.
To me, the unspoken rule of the Met Gala is "serve cunt as if money was no object" and I find it interesting how many people seem to fail at that.
Spicy-brained friends, I would like to propose an update to the very useful ‘if you hate everyone, eat, if everyone hates you, sleep, and if you hate yourself, shower’ mantra to live by
Have you suddenly become a petty, hateful little gremlin who thinks people should face the firing squad for (checks notes) leaving teabags on the counter, breathing loudly, or daring to exist in the same space as you? Perhaps mundane and reasonable requests like ‘hey, we agreed to hang out now, let’s hang out’ make you want to scream and move to a yurt in the woods.
You. Are. Overstimulated.
People talk a lot about being overstimulated, and the physical/mental effects of it. What I haven’t seen is people talking about what it does emotionally, and it took me an embarassingly long time to link up those nitpicky, resentful emotions with the state of overstimulation/meltdown/shutdown.
These feelings do not mean that you’re a bad person! They probably aren’t how you actually feel about the people around you. They probably do mean that your nervous system is at its absolute limit and any request/demand/stimulus is Too Much and taking you into fight or flight territory.
Go lie down in a dark room for an hour, or find somewhere safe and familiar to stim for a bit. If it’s happening a lot, schedule yourself regular low-stimulation shutdown time
Signed: someone who moved in with their nearest and dearest only to have a massive crisis of faith about Suddenly Hating All of Them. I don’t hate them, it’s just overstimulating living with people. If I can spare anyone else a similar 9 months of suspecting that they may actually be a bit of a shit person, then this post is worth it!
Gameboy peripheral PediSedate was designed for dentists and dosed kids with nitrous oxide as they played games.
Time to enter the GAMER ZONE
Camera, printer, sewing machine, now a fucking anaesthetic adminstrator…was there anything the Game Boy didn’t have an accessory for?
Do you know about the fish finding sonar?
