Character Designs For My Fanfic :3

Character designs for my fanfic :3

I wanted to draw a really cool thing, but this was all I could manage with how exhausted I am. Instead, I shall write something.

Dear Homestuck, thank you.

Thanks for being there for me when I was alone, thanks for making me laugh and cry, thanks for being something that my friends and I cherished, and thanks for helping me be more comfortable with who I am.

I can proudly say that John Egbert is the reason I realized I was trans, he was the breaking point that caused me to really think about the fact that I am a dude.

Another thing is, i remember this memory fondly- but my friend who passed away, Corvid, and I one year- 2 days before xmas eve- stayed up late watching all the homestuck broadway music shit, and the homestuck xmas carols, and drew eachother as trolls and as the beta kids. That memory was so… awesome. And I remember us singing badly along to the songs, it was just a great night. We bonded heavily over homestuck, I even got him into it if I remember clearly. We loved that shit, and made so much art and would cosplay at the park yelling and screaming about imps- pretending we were John and Tavros. We would draw comics of our characters interacting, we would put eachother’s art up on our walls.

Homestuck, at least what I grew up with/the original web comic, is so important to me. Its a source of identity, inspiration, and reminds me of being a kid again. Which, every day I wish I could go back to be with Corvid. Go back to being kids. Go back to all the fantasy before we got traumatized. Before we parted ways for the final time- not knowing we’d never see each other again.

ALSO FOR MY 13TH BDAY PARTY IT WAS HOMESTUCK THEMED, ALL MY FRIENDS AT THE TIME DRESSED AS EVERY CHARACTER. I WAS JOHN. MY DAD WAS DRESSED AS DAD. HE MUSHED CAKE IN MY FACE. THAT IS A CORE MEMORY AND ITS SO SWEET AND!! I MISS BEING A KID SOMETIMES.

Happy 4/13.

I hope its been a good one for every homestuck fan out there!

Palestinians have been screaming about sexual assault for years and years but rarely do we get noticed by international orgs. There's no sense of equality when it comes to Palestinian women.

Call me a pick me, but if some creator decides to write about a minority group I belong to but that they themselves are not a part of I'll be willing to overlook small inconsequential inaccuracies as long as the big picture feels accurate and respectful. If we want more representation we can't take the burden of making all of our representation ourselves and let outsiders take a shot at it as long as they're willing to do their research and listen to feedback. And if a little nuance or detail escapes the filter of accuracy I wouldn't mind if the whole sum of its parts is still good rep.
