HORNETSSTUCK GOD TIERS (MAYBE FINALISED PROBABLY NOT)

Jay Merrick: Seer of Void

Alex Kralie: Prince of Light

Timothy Wright: Heir of Heart

Brian Thomas: Witch of Mind

Jessica Locke: Muse of Breath

The Operator: Lord of Void(?)

THIS MAY CHANGE. ALEX AND JAY ARE THE ONLY ONES I AM 100% SURE ON

not a bad idea, i did roughly have in mind who would dream on which moon (prospitian jay/jessica, dersite tim/alex/brian) but hadn't put more thought into it than that.

okay in a hypothetical hornetsstuck au what would make more sense to differentiate brian/hoody and masky/tim?

Honestly? My main piece of advice for writing well-rounded characters is to make them a little bit lame. No real living person is 100% cool and suave 100% of the time. Everyone's a little awkward sometimes, or gets too excited about something goofy, or has a silly fear, or laughs about stupid things. Being a bit of a loser is an incurable part of the human condition. Utilize that in your writing.

i feel like when it comes to writing for homestuck characters it's always rose, kanaya, dirk & aranea i have the easiest time with. a lot of my writing tends to be unnecessarily verbose just as a byproduct of the way i speak but while that's usually one of my worst flaws it becomes a very clear strength when you're writing dialogue for characters whose excessive verbosity and purple prose is part of their characterisation. rings especially true for rose & mindfang i think. the only problem is when writing narration i start writing like a victorian diarist and then randomly drop 43 profanities in a row.

"I’m poison. I come from poison, I have poison inside me, and I destroy everything I touch. That’s my legacy. I have nothing to show for the life that I’ve lived, and I have nobody in my life who’s better off for having known me."

ouch

that hit a little too close

so fucking true

Look, as much as I love June having all these really nice and emotional coming out moments, I think she should be allowed to use her gender for comedy. She goes on HRT for like 5 months without telling anyone and shows up at the next hangout with her friends looking like a totally different person. She gaslights them into thinking that she was always a girl. Everyone starts panicking because this seems like peak timeline fuckery. Shit goes to the Earth-C equivalent of DEFCON 2 before she reveals the gag to everyone. The effects of her coming out are catastrophic. There are no survivors.
