Fondly Regard Illustration Released

We have a lot of talented visual artists contributing to the team. What if we let their artwork provide the spark of inspiration for music instead of the other way around?

Well, than we would get Fondly Regard Illustration! (Code name: The Art First Album)

Thank you to everyone who joined us live for the premiere. We had about 180 people watching and it was really inspiring to share with everyone live!

You can listen to the album and find the download link on our Bandcamp. Or, you can check it out on YouTube as a playlist.

Stay tuned for our next project. :)

When will the census results be released?

Survey closes at the end of March, and I'll start working on the data then. I think 4/13 is a good bet, but it depends on how busy I am around that date.

I love how you occasionally climb down into the muck with the rest of us. Never before have I been in a fandom where a major creator just replies to random reddit posts and proceeds to get 1-2 upvotes max like they're just some guy. It's really, really funny please keep doing it

the problem is i am just some fucking guy and have no desire to be seen as any better than this

edit: wait are you talking about this post

yeah you're right i dont have a good excuse for this one

Update

The latest HS:BC update came with design changes for a few characters retconned into old pages, so I thought I'd make a tracker to stop people from asking "wait, didn't Yiffy have weird coat-tail things?".

Enjoy!

This isnt a conspiracy Chuck Tingle is literally, without hyperbole, the pen name of sir Andrew Hussie, the author of Homestuck. Something wild for you to keep in mind as you read this and just so you know hes not only read Harry Potter but done a whole parody draw over of the first book in the past.

Why is there such an obsession with insisting that Chuck Tingle is the alter ego of [existing well known writer] instead of his own person

Homestuck: Beyond Canon AMA on the 16th at 2PM(PST)

i dont think we have an official account on here, or if we do i forgot about it. This weekend, we are doing a full team AMA on the homestuck subreddit. The thread will go up a few hours before we start. Hopefully we see some of you there! I know the team is excited to field some questions, and I'm excited to make other people answer some things for once.

Do you personally believe the sharpie bath incident really happened, or do you think it's just an urban legend?

i've already talked about this at length, but I guess not on tumblr. I will do my best to recount the tale here as well.

(TLDR version: yes, it did but the extent to which it happened has taken on a life of its own.) Here is what I know. In the prime days of the fandom, I still used to go to conventions. Anime Expo was local to me and I could take one train right to the convention center. A lot of my IRL friend group at the time were cosplayers that I'd met through homestuck meetups etc. Octo and I were meeting up with friend of ours (this is the person who made the original post) and told us about the incident because they framed it as something that happened in their hotel room. "You won't BELIEVE what I just had to deal with." We were sort of shocked but like "yeah I can believe that." It was a typical con story honestly. Somebody did something weird and thoughtless and maybe a little insane? Yeah sounds about right. That's conventions for you. If you know con groups and cosplay people, you know they pack like 10+ people in one room to save money and often times its friends-of-friends who need a place to stay. The hotel rooms are like a chaos zone staging area and people are constantly coming in and out. So and so needs to borrow a glue gun because their thing is falling apart. Whats her name is the only one who knows how to apply the sealant right so she's gonna be hanging out while we get ready. That guy you met at Denny's the other night needs to use our bathroom to put makeup on so listen for the door he said he'd drop by but idk where my phone is. You get it. It can actually be such a fun and welcoming community when you don't have some shithead whispering in your ear that its cringe. So these rooms are already chaos and nobody is paying attention to what other people are doing. This actually lends the story a lot of legitimacy. However. There is a grain of sand here. I can only tell you what I know and heard. Here are the facts: somebody tried to dye their skin with sharpie/water/alcohol in a tub. The mess they made trying to do this could not be cleaned up by the people in the room. They had to pay a fine. I saw some of the mess in cell phone photos, but never met or saw the person that made it. Did they go to the hospital? I don't know. Was it a young kid? I don't know, probably. Did they lock themselves in the bathroom and they had to break down the door? This actually seems kind of unlikely. Was some of the story likely embellished over the years for entertainment value or to make fun of Homestuck fans? Absolutely. The point is it sort of doesn't matter. The story gets passed around as an easy way to dunk on a fandom that is already sort of easy to dunk on. (its true im taking fucking potshots from friends who really shouldn't be throwing stones. you know who you are and when you are least expecting it, i will fucking get you in the vc.) Anyway, hope helps.

I know you can’t confirm anything, but is there the possibility of more new music albums like the Beyond Canon album?

i will just go ahead and say yes i want to do this, and i don't want to be on the albums. i want to officially extend the olive branch of peace to the homestuck music team and fan musicians. i know we've had our differences but we were all sort of young and insane. well i was still pretty old and insane but you get the idea. i'm actually trying to do some outreach like.. probably today but i got some dayjob stuff to do first
