#tavrissprite

[koji45]

Happy 4/13!!! I didn't have the energy or time to draw anything for it this year so I'll just re-post some of my old Homestuck fanart that I still kinda like! Might be fun to re-draw some of these someday but, gotta get through the art I owe people first!

days 3 and 4 pf @dyke-stuck ‘s event! transxenic and transneutral :D

[in this post, fefeta uses he/she/nya/glub and tavris uses it/they!]

[kabutoden]

what would a buggy tavrissprite look like? :D

this is such a funny request to me. the character who exsisted for one page and then violently exploded please... well here she is. shes back. shes bad :) she has tavros's avoidance issues and vriskas everything--also tavros's leggy limbs and vriskas round body. super silly design here, i think theyd be a playful little scamp who takes things too far. for some reason, their personalities meshed as their independent identities are lay dormant.

Thoughts on tavrissprite. Do you hate that beast or would you overthrow a large country for her.

i love tavrissprite she's like a shivering chihuahua to me. maybe a weighted blanket would help or a cup of milk tea?

[ur-favorite-fandom-fanatic]

Oh tavrissprite......what I would give to study them under a microscope and dissect them. My favorite miserable non-binary icon.

My friends make fun of me when I say their my favorite character lol.

Anyway the Terezi and Nepeta was from a joke thing. But she's cool so she can join the sprite show off

Okay, so I get that I think Tamsyn has said that while you can draw some clear parallels (Gideon is Female Dave, Harrow is Rose, Ianthe is Vriska), obviously Homestuck and TLT aren't one to one, in the same way that the two other big Would Not Exist Without Homestuck pieces of media, Kill Six Billion Demons and Undertale/Deltarune aren't one to one with it either. That being said. I would like to submit. Isaac is Tavros.

😭 that's so mean. to isaac. wtf.

i don't really see it but let me counter with:

babs is the tavros. obviously i've posted before about how his personality/aesthetic is similar to cronus ampora, but if you think about his relationship with ianthe, i feel like there's definitely some similarities to tavros and vriska.

now ianthe "being a vriska" is something i have a LOT of thoughts about, which i will. probably write out at some point. mainly, while they share surface level plot points and arm deficits, their motivations are very different. i've been holding off tho bc there's a lot we still don't know abt ianthe's motivations while the series is still unfinished. but in general, vriska is a child who has no idea what she's doing and just wants to be safe (although she thinks she wants to be important - and she does, but because she thinks that if she matters enough, she'll stop being vulnerable, both emotionally and physically), whereas ianthe clearly has some actual irons in the fire. (given what little we know about the tridentarii's parents and childhood, i could 100% see ianthe trying to protect herself in a similar way, but we just don't know enough to be sure.)

but to compare babs and tavros:

both the "some guy" wedged in between some very toxically codependent girlies

both killed (run through) with their own weapon by their counterpart in a mysterious facility during a very tense afternoon

you can't tell me that if it was relevant, vriska wouldn't be happy to chew on tavros (use his body for what she's trying to do)

both an intimate part of their counterpart's ascension, in opposite ways

that last point is the most interesting to me, because vriska's ascension involved her own death and ianthe's ascension involved babs's. vriska begged tavros to kill her, and he would not, leaving her to die alone and in pain, whereas ianthe had no qualms about killing babs. as we learn in the unwanted guest, babs's soul has had an effect on ianthe's - they are fusing, in a sense. compare that to the very brief existence of tavrissprite, whose constituent parts could not reconcile and merge. in the end, vriska has always been both obsessed and disgusted with tavros because the world has allowed him to be soft, and kind, and nonviolent - all things that she was never given the chance to be. whereas for ianthe and babs, they have always been fighting side by side, concealing corona's secret and managing third house high society.

so essentially, babs is a tavros who has been strong and active enough to both protect and support his counterpart. while ianthe killed babs because she needed power for whatever she has planned, and she is always going to prioritize coronabeth over anything and anyone else, she had no real beef with him and saw him as, if not an ally, then at least a means to an end whom she didn't mind being bitchy with in the meantime. meanwhile vriska killed tavros not out of necessity or duress, but because he had betrayed and abandoned her at her moment of greatest need and vulnerability, and then decided to be her enemy.

to be honest you didn't ask for any of this longass response lol but to be honester its my blog and i get to rant about vriska if i want 😌 i'd be interested to hear your case for why isaac reminds you of tavros tho! bc i seriously do not see it at this point lmao

[catgirl-catboy]

Is anyone else lowkey sad that Tavrissprite wasn't a larger part of Homestuck? I feel like it'd be the perfect 'good' end to Vriska's arc, way better than the Meenah shit. (sorry Meenah, I love you.)

You've become everything you hated. The injuries that you inflicted on your friend now scar your own body. You are weak and pathetic, as the other you never fails to remind you. But somehow, despite this, or perhaps because of this, you are happy.

[calware]

Tavrissprite for the fucked up ship bingo

isn't that one person. unless you mean in a self love way question mark..? in which case i do t think there's. anything there sorry

@yumantimatter:

I interpret Paul as closer to a fusion a la Steven Universe ("and the names of [SU character's component characters] may as well be names for my right hand and my left") - the clearer line of influence is of course Homestuck's sprite^2 characters but I think the concepts are similar

I don't have any experience of Steven Universe, and when I think of the Homestuck sprite^2s I mostly think of Erisolsprite and Tavrissprite that were inherently unstable due to conflicting personalities, but I guess there were some that worked out better, like Davepetasprite. But I don't know, when I was reading Homestuck, Davepetasprite always just registered as another iteration of Dave that had some Nepeta characteristics for me, and not someone completely different. Like how Jade was still Jade even after combining with Bec

@longroadstonowhere:

with regards to AIM, it didn't quite hit the same level of using 'google' to mean 'search the internet', but i do feel like people were using 'AIM' to refer to the messages themselves at a certain point (i was just young enough to not be part of that myself, though, so i don't have strong memories of linguistic practices at that time)

@wellhappybirthdaytomeiguess:

@longroadstonowhere speaking as a Gen Xer...that's how I remember it, but that's just me.

Oh, you know, I have some vague memories of that now... but I never actually used AIM all that much, it just wasn't how I communicated with people online back then

Re: Lyctors in the cav bodies: wouldn't work for John, I think. He'd be looking at the cop instead of his best friend G, and the money guy instead of his buddy A...and have to remember too that they didn't know about the RBs coming back when they became Lyctors, so it didn't seem to be an issue.

I mean, John certainly knew about them, but I guess I can kind of see that

"vriska you're so crazy for thinking (vriska)'s personal8ty got infected 8y tavros after tavrissprite" she literally has half of tavros's hair.
