Homestuck Secret Santa 2022 (Late edition) For : @monggay

My part of this year’s @homestuckss event.

Included is a surviving excerpt of The Execu-Cretary’s Diaries, a multipart action novel in the much maligned Ashen Facilitator-surrogate genre. It was being optioned for Alternian Cinema, shortly before the Dooms Day which destroyed the Empire (being widely considered a good move for the art of cinema). The series follows an ambitious 10 sweep old Jade blood (Harley Bequel), whose defied the norms of her caste to become a highly esteemed, and professional Execu-Cretary entangled in the corporate intrigue of Alternian Military Fashion: Sitting between the two most powerful women in Military Fashion, careening through Capital Prime’s streets in the luxury scuttlier at twilight, should have been more exciting. Just being there had answered a sweeps long quest to achieve high and move into the highest echelons of the Empire’s Execu-Cretary cadres.

But here it was less than 3 hours into my first duty-shift and I was bored. The worst possible thing for an on duty Execu-Cretary. 

There wasn’t even nerves. Nerves at least made you more likely to act in an emergency. Boredom made response slow, and meant more danger than ever. Nerves are something you get around someone who commands respect.

The Two Women I was assigned to, powerful magnates with untold influence, had started bickering even before getting into their scuttlier. The Argument had remained the same the entire ride into their office: ‘Were shoulder epaulettes  truly in this year’?  Aradia, who was the more reserved of the pair and surprisingly from the burgundy caste, and she felt strongly against them. Terezi, the teal blood, was much more interested in just having an the argument. 

Even a hard as nails, professional Execu-Cretary like me could see these two were in obvious Vacillations ... And the thought dawned, as an ashen lump in my throat.

‘This argument wasn’t for my benefit, was it?’ I asked myself, a cold sweat forming on my skin. Oh no, the last thing I needed was to be drawn in as the facilitator for a Imperial level power couple...

The blurb on the back of the novel promises a glimpse into the corridors of power, the lap of luxury and wealth, the intrigue of Military Fashion, corruption that spans the hemospectrum, and at least 3 Biotronic Ninjas fights. Owing to her wide array of combat skills, physical prowess, and a  ‘veritable armory’ of gadgets at her disposal Harley can handle any  threat that crosses her path... But she has no defense whatsoever against the two troll’s she  assigned to protect; a distant Burgundy blood with a mysterious past and a mischievous Teal gremlin and their Vacillations for one another.

hey, @autisticaradiamegido!! i had the privilege of being your homestuck secret santa this year! merry (very belated 😭) christmas!! i’ll put some commentary under the cut (plus some bonus stuff):

lemme preface this with an apology for how long this took to finish :( im way too much of a perfectionist, i’ll admit, but i managed to get it done before school started again! i’m real glad i got to work on a prompt with a werewolf, though. it was a blast to draw!! i hope it was ok that i used my own hcs/designs… i had to make it as fun as i could for myself to maximize my motivation. also, there wasnt any colored references that i could find :0 i hope the piece is still a treat to see! im especially proud of the funny title, haha.

Bonuses:

here’s the original idea i had for the piece:

i always planned for it to be grand & complex, with hints of mystery and intrigue, but this iteration was so boring and unfun to me that i couldnt make myself work on it for a long while. im glad i went with something that resembles the classic wolfman poster though, it was far more fun.

my second sketch was the one i used. here it is:

[jumbledthemes]

@homestuckss pinch hit for @topfsecret !!

Reluctant face of the Alternian revolution Karkat is NOT quite used to having an entire security detail yet, and isn't sure why they're all dressed like sci fi adventure movie characters??

to which I would say, if you're gonna be planning an underground revolution against a spacefaring despot why WOULDN'T you dress for the occasion. c'mon.
