Hyperfixatons Are So Weird, Because Wdym Last Week I Was Obsessed With A Blue Hedgehog And His Alien

requests for @sugarrrush - genuinely embarrassing how easily i fell back into drawing homestuck despite it being literal YEARS

don’t think intimacy will ever feel normal for me but i’m being really chill about it

I don't think fantasy writers play enough with the concept of the different fantasy races having distinct ethnicities. Like imagine a group of mixed peoples, where the dwarves are all roasting each other like dwarves do, and one of them remarks that when he first saw one of the other dwarves in the group, he mistook her for a man. The other dwarves in the group blink in surprise - the closest that dwarves will go to an audible gasp of shock - and she pulls out a knife and tries to stab him.

Once the dwarves have been separated from each other and the situation has calmed, one of the humans asks another dwarf what that incident was about. Naturally a human woman would have been insulted too, but dwarves are so jovial about insulting each other, why was this matter different?

And the dwarf who was asked explains that there are things you can brutally insult another dwarf about, and there are things you simply do not touch. The dwarf-woman in question is from a completely different region of The Great Underground as the others, and her people have different norms about what kind of patterns men and women braid into their beards. The dwarf insulting her wasn't only insulting her appearance, he was being racist.

The human is surprised to learn that dwarves have different peoples, and the dwarf looks at them like at an idiot. Of course they do, they even look completely different from each other. And the human listens as the dwarf lists off various distinguishing clothing details too nuanced for a human to notice, and then how dwarves coming from different corners of the world have different physical traits, according to what kind of conditions their local stone types dictate.

The human spots a connection and goes oh! We have that too, though ours are not about rock types and tunnel air, but the weather aboveground. Humans' facial features vary by how hot, cold, arid or windy their ancestors' homelands were, and our skin tone varies by how much the sun shines in their native region.

The dwarf frowns at the last part, going "I thought you people just paint your skin and dye your hair for fun", and the human admits that yeah, we do that too, but not all the time, and not the whole skin. The dwarf asks, what of that tall woman the colour of dravite, her palms and the soles of her feet were lighter than the rest of her. Does that mean she paints herself dark to be more beautiful?

The human says no, that just happens naturally. Maybe it's because one's palms and feet aren't exposed to the sun as much, so they are paler.

The dwarf nods, still unsure whether this is actually legit or just the human habit of lying for fun, and proceeds to ask about the wild northman of their party. He is as pale as an olm, but the palms of his hands and the soles of his feet are dark. Are they painted, or naturally that way?

No, the human answers. That guy just doesn't bathe.

can you tell who my favorite homestuck character is

One of my favorite headcanons I have, is that most superheroes fight in a very uniform fashion. They have training, and they’ve been doing this for a while, so most of them fight like someone who knows what they’re doing and understands body language. Peter Parker however.

He never got training. He got bitten by a spider, watched his uncle die in front of him, and then said “fuck it, we ball” and sewed a spider logo on a red hoodie to go combat gang violence. He has NO CLUE how to fight, so naturally, he fights like he just escaped from an asylum.

Where most hero’s would be pinned against a wall, he just starts kicking their shins. Where most hero’s would have a hand over there mouth, he has a hand in biting distance. Where most hero’s have an opening to sweep the leg, Peter has an opening to kick them in the groin so hard they fall to the ground sobbing.

The first time Iron-man, or any hero for that matter, sees him fight, they genuinely think he doesn’t think the fight is hard and is experimenting because he’s using none of the right tactics, and some things that aren’t even tactics. And then they say “hey, what style of fighting was that? I’ve never seen it before.” And he just stares at them like “that was a style called I’m a child soldier who doesn’t know what the hell is going on at any given moment and biting works”

tha full opening so far!!! still needs a lot of work and i might cut/change some clips but there’s more boards added and im making PROGRESS!

A knight should have a horse I think

Will draw 4 food
