Jakeborn looks a bit of like a rectangle (HE'S A T TETROMINO). Is that intentional? (I have no idea how body shapes work help)

Gill here. Yes, it is! The first thing Caliborn did upon acquiring Hope powers was make himself buff and make his cape longer, ‘cause it looks cooler that way. It started out as a throwback to an old joke theory our friends had about the ending of Homestuck: ARquiussprite gets everyone working out, they get ripped, the endorphins help with everyone’s emotional problems, and then they all beat up on Lord English. It was called “Buffstuck” and Hussie totally accidentally had Caliborn canonize it after the masterpiece. (Not really, I’m kidding) 

I genuinely cannot remember how serious I was when I started drawing Calijake with a Dorito body, it just sort of happened and I justified it afterwards: Caliborn getting ripped in DDOTA was part intimidation tactic, part a way to tell him apart from Jake in thumbnails, and part throwing back to Buffstuck as a joke. This is the story of most of TLCstuck.
