In honor of the anniversary of MAG 200, I’m posting this little comic I did for a TMA zine! It’s currently on hiatus (but will hopefully eventually come out??) but we got permission to post our pieces. Enjoy some food-as-a-love-language and awkward flirting :)

horse people are weird

You wake up tomorrow to find yourself in the world of the last video game you played. How screwed/lucky are you?

I need more violence from yall when you write jonalias “microbursts of homicidal rage” magchard mf has 100% broken a wine bottle over peters head during a funding dispute. Peter was fine of course but it was still a fucking insane thing to do and elias refuses to acknowledge that it happened. Yall call jon feral but elias pipe murdered a dude and then called it an “overreaction”. Hes a rabid fucking animal masquerading as the most boring occultist in the world in a Dolce&Gabbana suit.

THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES HAS POSSESSED ME

I think if you want to make an argument wrt homestucks quality the best argument you can make is Karkat. Cause Karkat's entire meta-theme is that he's infectiously likable even though he comes across like an asshole, and it not only works in the story but like. on a real-world level.

Karkat first appears 1353 pages in as a rando calling the sweetest main character an idiot and by the time he's properly introduced 600 pages later people are so on board with him being the deuteragonist of the story it becomes common to tell people just to skip right to his part. For all Homestuck can stumble while making its convoluted meta-meme as gnostic reimagined thematic hypertext bullshit stick the landing, boy howdy, when it tells you you will love this shouty boy despite yourself, it fucking delivers.

love this shouty boi

Am I an idiot? I’m asking because I have never taken art lessons. I’ve never taken animation lessons. I’ve barely even practiced drawing in sketchbooks or notebooks. For all intents and purposes I am an amateur at any art form involving drawing or sketching.

And yet here I am, attempting to commit myself to finishing an animation meme, despite having almost no free time and practically never having touched an animation program before. 

I’m basically working off youtube videos and nothing else for instructions on what to do/ avoid doing. I animated two 1 second clips to help get used to the program and jumped right in.

Wish me luck I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

jonathan sims, everyone.
