I'm bored but also need to sleep, so...

Just tons of writing stuff here

Projects I'm currently worKing on:

My main, a cannon divergence set on earth c

A Cameron Geller cinematic universe Kinda crossover fic where I give his characters claspects and stuff to fit them into hs (highly recommend Cameron Geller)

A homestucK DND frameworK that is nowhere near good enough for using with DND but I frequently looK at to checK my notes on claspects for my other fics

A groundhog day AU for homestucK with inspiration from outer wilds, still conceptualising but sounds good in my head

On route to have at least one chapter out by 413 - none of them

More under the cut

Things I liKe to read/write about

Characters from different franchises implanted into homestucK, where they have to play sburb and god tier etc

HomestucK characters with a completely different magic system, eg M^3's The Good The Bad And The Alternative and Unda's Your Words Destroyed My Planet

Also things with incredibly long and unwieldy titles apparently

Cannon divergence around earth c, eg Liyuna's Skian pantheon series

Anything with unique formating, eg 1ocust and sourlemonblue's please sub to my twitch prime i need rent money

Anything that catches my eye while I'm in a homestucK frenzy, liKe your someone, Pay Dat Rent!!1!, Ior, G R E G (featuring guest appearance from me), The grapple comic, Deadlock, Cult Following, and immortal man, to name a few on MSPFA

Things I quote unquote "disliKe"

Proper crossovers. Just no. I don't care that nepeta is in a room with some characters from a franchise I've never heard of or hate. The two fandoms almost always mesh uncomfortably and all the already good relationship dynamics are ignored in favour of crossover dynamics, and even that's better than the fandoms ignoring each other because then what's the point of splitting the attention between double the characters? The only good way a crossover has ever been done from what I have seen, is Unda's MC Esher that's my favourite MC. And that was crossing homestucK. With slightly different homestucK. And it still feels liKe the two sides don't mesh great!

Please prove me wrong and give me a good crossover fic. Good lucK.

adults are always talking about how “kids will do anything to get out of school” and okay, first of all that’s not true, but I think we really need to ask why that idea holds so much sway.

children’s brains are hard-wired to take in new information and acquire new skills. consider, for a moment, just how thoroughly our society had to fuck up the concept of education for it to be a normal thing to assume kids are universally desperate to avoid learning.

ThinK about this for a sec. If the hemospectrum was around for billions of years, long enough to have everyone evolve into their roles, what would you expect to see?

The lowbloods would be strong, and live long. They would be able to get to places that others can't for maintenance, say underwater. They would have insane healing factor and pain tolerance. They would be experts in the tech most commonly used at the time, mostly mechanical with a small amount of digital.

The midbloods would work higher jobs, on things like fashion and art. They would be generals, being charismatic and/or manipulative to sway people to their side in battle. They would be writers, documenting everything. They would gather enormous amounts of Lusus meats to feed their rulers and the next generation of children, who they would taKe care of.

The highbloods would be living in luxury, with powers that let them do as little as possible. They would move anything they liKe with minimal effort, predict the future, and shoot eye beams as a last resort. They would be scientists, worKing on ways to maKe themselves more powerful by fusing themselves with newly invented biotech that runs on psionics. They would be shamans, being contacted by ghosts of the past and uncovering the prophecies of the future. They would be leaders, their short lifespans allowing a viable autocracy where elected leader rule until they die or are overthrown, and continue on as advisors channelled by the shamans.

And above all, the prophesied red leader. A caste shared only by the priest that will precede him. The one said to be born of endless rage, and live amongst oceans of his own blood. The one who will be known by every troll, who will abolish every injustice that came before, who will reign until the universe ends and then some. He will hide until he is needed most, and will befriend the gods and create a utopia. He will sway the blacK fiend, love the red knight, fight the fuchsia queen. He will see the death of many, see a creature of hate try to love, see the one who is already here and stand his ground. You will be betrayed. You will be despised. you will lose hope, and lose to hope. But as you paint over your gray sign in your true colours, you will continue on.

Seen people maKe these and they looK fun so...

Tumblr makes a game!

Dream diary 2

So I was in a big wizard college, and everyone had on green robes. I found out you could get different robes by completing missions, but were expected to change bacK to green robes after. I did the first quest to get red robes, but I did a second quest to get blue robes and I Kept the blue ones. It was dinner time so I was wandering around, looKing for a food place, in the carnival games liKe claw machines and Knock down these guys with magic or something. The only food place I found was a Kabab place that used real swords and wasn't very appetising. As I wandered, I ran into someone I Know. He said that he was doing the same thing as me, wandering around looKing for food. It was time for class again, and as I walKed there someone shouted out the window that blue robes are dumb, but I ignored them. When I got to class, the teacher was surprised at my robes but didn't say anything and teleported my toy seat. Another one of my friends walKed in, and as the only seat left was next to me, he was liKe, "yes, I'm next to Greg!" And was teleported beside me. The end.

Tried to send this earlier but my data ran out and it got deleted.

Why is it that I add a self insert to pretend to have control of my characters... of the story I write? I'm contemplating sending my self insert to rose for therapy, but that's weird because it would be liKe trying to be my own moirail?

Then again, Hussie fantasized about his alien housewife leaving him for a cyborg.

Thought id maKe a pinned post, because I'm bored and haven't posted in a while.

Hello! I'm Greg. I liKe homestucK, reading, procrastinating on my fanfic, and occasionally, very rarely, I liKe to play video games. I don't know why people disliKed hs:bc, but now that it has updated people are talKing about it more.

If you don't liKe my typing quirK, where I capitalize all my Ks, then too bad. It's not unreadable.

And to the bots, please stop sending me spam.

Yes, John. Yes you are.

i need to stop

WAIT WAT

guys it's 2023

I thought of a great idea for a terraria secret seed.

So it is kinda based on sollux, with a heavy importance on the number 2. You have every ore type, both evils, and a jungle and snow biome on each side of the world. There would be two jungle temples, two dungeons, two sky islands, two giant trees, two pyramids, ect. Two of the same bosses would spawn from 1 summon, except the twins, which would look like sollux's eyes, one blue and one red. The cursed flames the green one shoots would be recoloured too.

Dream diary 1

So in this dream I was playing football with the people that go to my taekwondo classes, except we were using rugby balls. The teacher brought out this electric tube net thing and so another guy and I were taking turns kicking through it.

We were doing pretty well, until I kicked the ball out the window. Looking out, it seems we were on a cliff above an underground river, with forest on both sides of the riverbank. I went back to my dorm because I had one, apparently.

In my dorm, I found my dog, although looking back I think it was a mole. I told it to find the ball, but I forgot its name. I sat there saying Dave and Richard over and over, even commenting I had already said Dave when I said it a second time.

I got bored of that, so I said that I wanted a popsicle. I am not American, so I don't know why it was in my vocabulary. The mole dog responded, so I assumed its name was in fact popsicle. I took it past the teacher offices and out to the right side river bank. The ball was on the left.

I walked through the forest with popsicle until I reached the river bank. The sun was setting, but I wasn't interested. There were 2 rugby balls in the river, and one above them stuck in a tree. A teacher was climbing a climbing course mounted on it and some other trees nearby so she could get the ball.

I shouted if she needed help and she shouted something inaudible back. I yelled that I couldn't hear her. She shouted, louder this time, that she brought all her special gear but her feet were uncomfortable, and I should bring her her bunny slippers. I went back inside into her office, unfortunately forgetting about popsicle.

I walk into the room and immediately see three or four pairs of slippers, none of them bunny, and all being weirdly round, as if a tiny elephant is going to wear them. I take the softest pair and walk back out the same exit, somehow arriving on the opposite side of the river. I am about to start climbing a course that a teacher needed special gear for one handed, when I hear a noise.

I go towards the noise, making out some scratching sounds when I see a huge copper deer trap. In a pine forest. It seems like a trap you would find in a tower defense game. And sticking out the side, popsicle.😭 I was crying, comforting him in his last moments as I rushed back to the door to get medical supplies, cursing the builder of the dastardly trap. But it was too late.

I went to the side of the river, talking to the teacher (who was on the other side again) about what happened, and as I buried my pet, I woke up. And I realized one thing. Dream me is an idiot! He could have tied up popsicle, taken him back to his room.

One thing is for sure, I will always remember popsicle.

If you're wondering why I haven't been posting, I did not forget, I was just in a comfort induced coma for two days. I got a new bed.

I can't think of anything to write, so here is a shameless self promotion:

I have recently learned how to art. I don't have anything prepared, but expect something in the future.

So tomorrow, I'm getting a new bed! It will be a double, way better than my current single. However, my bed room will come at the cost of most of my bedroom room. I am willing to give this up for my bed room, but I'm afraid if I go somewhere with less bed room and more bedroom I will feel reverse claustrophobic, and probably uncomfortable. I spend too much time in bed though, so this might motivate me to spend even more!

Here's how I got into homestuck. Very weird origin story, but here it is.

For Christmas or my birthday or something, I got a book called what if by Randall munroe. Pretty good book, and now I have the second one too. In the front cover, there is a short "about the author" bit. In that, it says "by the creator of xkcd". I searched it up and it is a funny webcomic. At the bottom, it has the works that inspired it, and homestuck was listed. So that's how I found it!

Why do people have such a stereotypical view on Americans, of all people. The even weirder part is the ones reinforcing that belief is Americans themselves. I may be a boy, but I know I'm not infatuated with blue. Americans don't all own guns, drink beer from 5, and barbecue everything.

At least I don't think you do. British as charged.

So when you start writing one of these, it says "add something, if you'd like". But why? What if I don't want to? The post button is greyed out until I write something, so why does it say "if you'd like"? I think it's an oversight that we should not look into.

Haven't posted that much yet. Sry to the millions of followers I already have.

I have been watching some tutorials, and it seems this platform is just a poorly organised pile of shower thoughts. Just throw whatever onto the pile, then you can sift through it whenever you like.

Completely unrelated, they should have claw machines where instead of paying money, you put in more prizes. I don't know why, but I just thought of it and now am writing it down.

Me, out!

Yeah I have no clue how to use this app, this is first blog for when I eventually get very famous! Please have a looK at my AO3 homestucK fanfic, I need more inspiration and stuff.
