The Highlights of Being a Split End (7,381 words)

On the list of "Things Karkat Needs to Remember To Pack for Surviving This Fucking Game, In Order of Priority," hair styling utensils fell somewhere between "rubble that crushed my lusus" and "last sweep's decomposable trash, recently unburied from the back lawnring, along with all those bodies of the undead I had to kill." In other words, somebody needs to give that boy a brush.

File It Down, Polish It Up (20,713 words)

Trolls have some weird priorities. They can’t bring themselves to invent conditioner, but they have automatic manicure kits and gossip about which blood caste produces the best in claw hygiene. Dave has never really given much thought to the state of his nails. His time is better spent memorizing lame movie quotes and actively *not* flirting with the grumpy troll version of the Second Coming.

On an unrelated note, being a teenage boy is hard. Literally. (Insert dick joke here.) It’s hard and having a hot sister doesn’t help in the slightest. Not that Dave finds his sister attractive in any way.

Nope, not going there.

// sequel to the one before this! (that’s the definition of a sequel, yea) anyway this has the same vibe as the last one touchstarved people have fun also it’s rated adult bc they watch pale porn but like. it’s just trolls taking care of each other like .. aight

Hi there everyone! I’ve posted this drawing before, but I’m posting it again to let everyone know that this illustration is available to buy on Teepublic again! ; v ; It was taken down when it was first submitted over a year ago, but recently they contacted me again and told me it’s (hopefully permanently) back up for purchase again, and is under review with Cartoon Network for official licensing~  Fingers crossed it’s allowed to stay! And while it’s under review, you’re able to purchase it :-) I’m excited because I worked pretty hard on this, but also because this is the last drawing I illustrated from start to finish, while my boyfriend was still with me. He loved it and flaunted the t-shirt I printed at his workplace, which makes me so happy to remember. (I want to cry at the same time though, ahaha..)

I was so brokenhearted when it was taken down, but to see it given another chance just means the world to me. If Ben were here now, he’d say “I told you it wasn’t the end of the world!” …jerk. Thank you for taking the time to read this <3 Lots of love to everyone! xoxo Claudia EDIT: I just realised that it’s probably only me who is able to get it, so hopefully it will be purchasable for others in the future! Fingers crossed cartoon network likes it enough to let it stayy ;;;

Yall ever listen to the Over the Garden Wall soundtrack and close your eyes to suddenly find that you are in a yellow field of wheat, waiting for your loved one to return from vacationing with their family in the north, hoping they will return before winter arrives?

[overthelillies]

the dialogue in over the garden wall is so good like the exchanges between characters follow such a rhythm that wirt & other characters’ lapses into poetry & song don’t feel out of place

small exchanges between characters, especially towards the beginning, often have distinct rhythm & rhymes that in context feel completely natural

My name's Greg. What's yours? Beatrice. My brother's name is Wirt. Who cares? And my frog's name's Wirt jr., but that may change. Okay, that's great. How about you and I ditch your brother? Hmm. Maybe later.

these patterns are only really absent in the episode “into the unknown”, which is part of what gives it such a different feeling than the rest of the show
