Another sprite edit finished just in time for 4/13! I’m excited to do more of these but I’m running out of og heinousstuck designs to pull from. I guess jane or vriska would be next.

[rabidkpom]

Here’s a teaser for my next sprite edit project. It’s such a small detail that gets half covered in the full thing, I figured I could showcase it this way.

I love the idea that tavros had pyrokinesis but never used it outside of a personal gag. Like he either considered it too dangerous to mess around with, and/or he realized the nightmare and a half it would be if vriska caught wind.

The images flash in his mind of her adding a mind controlled dash of arson to her latest scheme. Absolute best case scenario: nobody burns to death.

He promptly commits to being significantly more useless and takes his secret to the grave

This line has always stuck with me. All the alpha trolls landed on Alternia via meteor. Meaning none of them ever lived in the caverns where the trials are held. Vriska is boldfaced lying to make herself seem cooler.

More proof for my semi aquatic lime bloods theory. Karkat casually held his breath for almost 4 minutes. Not only was he hardly prepared to do this, but this was also immediately after a tantrum/panic attack that put him in a state where he explicitly said he couldn’t breathe.

I used voxus’ lets read to get my time estimate of 3:43

What differentiates an heir from a prince?

The irl political identities are used interchangeability. Sometimes you can be a prince but not an heir and vice versa. but usually if you’re one, than you are, or are often called, the other. So in sburb terms would the classes also be close, if not overlapping too?

A prince is clearly described as a destroyer of their aspect, while an heir is a little more loosely defined but generally seen as an inheritor of their aspect. Those definitions don’t bear mutual exclusivity though. You can inherit something you destroyed and destroy something you inherited. Like 2 sides of the same coin.

John ‘destroys’ breath (the aspect of freedom) by constantly submitting to the plans and requests of other players. He’s also tasked with destroying his session via the scratch.

Dirk ‘inherits’ heart (the aspect of soul) in the from of constantly encountering and internalizing splinters of himself. Also in inheriting lil cal, a puppet containing the amalgamate soul(s) of Lord English.

Heinoustuck sprite redraws, finished just in time for spooky season. It’s my favorite fan adventure, and I’m actually surprised I haven’t seen anyone take their own shot at this in the time it took me to finish -.-’

(dave and jade are under the cut)

ITS PRONOUNCED SUBURB?!?

I’ve been reading it as s’burb this whole goddamn time

[rabidkpom]

[image text: If angered, she could simply express her grievance through communion with her ancient lusus of the deep, and turn its psychic devastation on her multitudes. The class hierarchy played into her hands politically in this respect. Killing off a haphazard swathe of the population, or an entire class, was suitable as a measure of last resort, but mass extermination does not lend itself well to practical governance. Its looming threat however is quite effective, especially while her empire was partitioned neatly into blood castes. end text]

Gl'bgolyb can selectively wipe out a caste? I always thought a glub would start at burgundy and work its way up as it got louder, or was that just popular fannon?

That must be what happened to limebloods then. Why else bring up such a specific example if its not ripped directly from history. Equally, why would the masses believe it if it never happened.

This also gives a practical explanation to why she wanted to develop blood castes in humans post scratch. The clean segregation is what her political power relied on.

Godtiers that are killed, even in a heroic or just way aren’t fully dead. That would mean john, who was killed by LE’s venom, is more accurately in a “permanent” death like state. Since its only the venom that killed him, does that mean its removal or nullification would revive him?

The most straightforward way would be making antivenom, which first involves getting a sample of venom from the same species.

Easy enough. As a bonus callie’s physically the same individual. And cherubs being equal opposites to each other could mean their venom is naturally the counter to LE’s. The solution could be as easy as “Calliope: bite.”

But what if its a little more complicated and someone has to actually go through the process of whipping up some cherub antivenom? How is antivenom made? You collect venom (easy enough with callie hanging around) and use it to gradually immunize an animal that’s large enough to tolerate the doses. Then you collect its blood and refine out the venom antibodies. The animal most commonly used for this? The same one we see scattered throughout the comic.

As a bonus i stumbled on this unresolved line while researching:

[rabidkpom]

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the nondescript power limebloods had that made them so dangerous that the empire had to wipe them out. Here’s a rundown of the possibilities I’ve headcannoned, why the empire would be threatened by them, and my own notes on each.

1. Semi-aquatic  Fresh water dwellers with aquatic adaptations including a high lung capacity. I err on the side of them not having gills since karkat is technically a limeblood and he lacks them. It’s not a disadvantage either. In an underwater fight with a seadweller all they’d have to do is get a fistful of sand in their gills or clamp them shut. The seadweller can’t choke them back because they’re not breathing. With limebloods around the playing field evens out and seadwellers lose their safe retreat into the nearest body of water. (being good at stretching out a lungful of air could also explain how karkat/kankri can manage such loud/longwinded rants without getting the spins)

 The juxtaposition of the previous updates last panel with that badly rendered futurama splash screen.

Part of me wants to hold on to this being intentional. Like the increasingly worse rendering gets tied to the meat timeline itself degrading as it loses relevance. or maybe it’s just a flub because of act two coming out and all the holidays. But then I think of those Sherlock fans who were certain that there was another secret episode coming out. I guess there’s nothing to do but wait for the gotcha, whether it happened or not.

i was going to leave this in the tags of some other post, but thought maybe other people might like to comment with their thoughts.

[rabidkpom]

okay so has anyone actually ever looked into nepetas trolltag?

“to represent the two mouths of her lusus”

not only that, but,

arsenic is the literal first part of her trolltag. thats another reason why she replaces her ee’s with 33. not only that, but yes, it goes along with her lusus having two mouths!

and thats it thats all i have to say

this is my second blog that i made to keep my art and observation/theory posts more accessible ^ ^

my main is @rabidpomeranians which is like 1 original post for every 1000 reblogs

[rabidkpom]

It hit me that this is actually pretty sinister considering that not having filled red and black quadrants can get one culled. She may only have those two weeks before her exile to figure that out.
