#I was JUST ranting about this in hiveswap discord

[utopianparadoxist]

Where'd you get the idea that Knights are passive and Pages active?

First from Tex Talks, which I was greatly resistant to at first. 

Then I like. Read the comic and actually looked at evidence, which brought me here, where I am moved to say:

Reading Pages as passive breaks the damn story and worsens Jake’s and Tavros’ arcs and also Vriska, Dirk, and Jane’s arcs too.

Also Karkat’s.

can we please move on

HOLY SHIT I NEED TO TALK ABOUT FIAMET **RIGHT NOW**

PLEASE KEEP SCROLLING IF YOU DO NOT WANT SHIT SPOILED FOR HIVESWAP ACT 3, I REPEAT, PLEASE KEEP SCROLLING IF YOU DO NOT WANT SHIT SPOILED FOR HIVESWAP ACT THREE!!! THERE’S WHOLE ASS CONCEPT DESIGNS AND SHIT IN HERE! IM NOT KIDDING!!!!

OKAY I’VE BASICALLY EXAUSTED EVERY OPTION (aka ranting to my boyfriend about my ideas for blockstuck that i will NOT spoil here) BUT I REALLY REALLY REALLY NEED TO TALK ABT FIAMET.

long story short, i was at SAHCon today, i was minding my own buisness when a panel ended, and i open my announcements to THIS

[image ID: a screenshot from discord from a server mod saying “@everyone - just in case you missed it, here’s the VOD of our impromptu Hiveswap Act 3 teaser!”, then showing a youtube link below it, the image in the embed being of concept art for a new character. /End ID] so i obviously open it, being in denial about that being a limeblood even though i can VERY clearly see green on her design and it is NOT olive, but then i get to here.

[image ID: a young looking troll girl with three sets of horns, an axolotol-esque tail and a middle part, wearing a black t-shirt with a violet sign on it, grey shorts and socks with lime colored stripes and wearing black shoes with violet laces. /End ID] so, in very “me” fashion, i start flipping my shit, internally.

[IMAGE ID: a discord screenshot between me and my boyfriend, me saying “changed my mind because i missed the first thirty minutes now im looking at the hiveswap thing and????” with “gen spoilers” in parentheses, an image below it showing concept art for fiamet. my boyfriend responds with “CREATURE” in all caps. i respond with “IF I HAVE TO GIVE ASELUS AND AOLOTOL TAIL IM GONNA BE PISSED //HJ” /End ID] i’m in denial, im afraid for my little fanartist life, and a few hours, now in the angered stage of greif later i go into a fucking FRENZY. i’m talking angered pacing, punching the air, yelling and damn near tears.

i was so mad, finally realizing that i had spent HOURS working panels with aselus with NO TAIL only for this new limeblood to completely throw all my shit out the fucking window. i was a wreck.

until...

i remembered someone.

[image ID: a masculine presenting troll with slicked back hair, horns that go to a point and curve back, red shades, a vest with a pocket watch, a teal long-sleeved shirt, dark grey pants and what i think is running shoes. /End ID] IDARAT CATLAZ

my hero, my savior, even.  this peice of shit that damn near charged me for pictures, kept me from loosing my IDIOT MIND.

i kid you the fuck not, when i realized this motherfucker existed, a wave of releif washed over me.i was zen, i was happy, unbothered and moisterized.

BUT.. i honestly forgot where i was going with this, i promise i had like a whole other page and a half thought out, but i’ve come up with two options for how two limebloods looks so VASTLY different.

1. fiamet has a mutation, similarly to mine where i developed a scruff to more closely resemble my lusus, except she got a tail (sorry to anyone who liked the hc of trolls developing features like their lusus turns out everyone from my timeline did not have anything similar and was just a me thing <//3)

or 2. *there’s both land-dwelling and sea-dwelling limebloods*

you bet your ASS im gonna play with the second one in blockstuck’s cannon, just you fucking wait until i rewrite some shit. you won’t fucking know what hit you, i’m not even kidding.

on some other ending note, if anyone wants to see the teaser, here’s the link right here.

(ps yes im putting image IDs in my posts now in a post probably no one will read, i need the practice of making them)

NSFW involving almost all fandoms I'm in due to characters age.

dsmp for the most part. on ponytown I get harassed by dsmp Stan's as urahara from bleach, plus my only other experience with them is stories of them vandalizing important memorials, doxxing people, and even worse, I get most dsmp fans aren't like this, but all I've met are. I'd prefer if you are a dsmp fan you don't discuss anything dream with me. that's about it, I'm fine with you guys otherwise

real excessive gore/really bad body horror. thinks like Akira, repo the genetic opera, and happy farms are good for me, real excessive gore isn't traumatic for me, it's just gross.

uncanny horror, I'm ok with it if I'm the one scaring myself.

hiveswap discord :D

I just made a discord server for if anyone wants to talk about act 2.

I don't really expect many people to join but basically you can rant about what you did and didn't like, say headcanons and theorys and share art :D

Here's the link if you think you'd be interested ÓuÒ

[ramiedersedreamer]

Ranting in the Discord about the Homestuck Patreon cash flow, figured I'd copy past it here

The way I see it is they priced out each update at $2000, if they assumed all of their patreons picked the lowest tier. I choose this number because at 2000 patreons at $2 they would be earning $4000 and would then produce a second update per month at presumably the same length.

Let's just round down and say updates are 20 pages each. That means out of the $2000 per update it costs 100$ per page for art, writing, domain/sever coats, and a fee for the manager/director. Google says writing can pay between 0.10-1.00 per word (let's assume they freelance per word for this) so let's call it 0.50 per. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.clearvoice.com/blog/how-much-to-pay-a-freelance-writer/amp/

The first twenty pages of the latest update, pages 33-52, are 2427 words at an average of 121 per page. 121*0.50 That's a little over 60$ for writing, leaving 40$ per panel for art, domain/sever costs, and whatever Aysha/whoever is getting for acting as director/manager. Keep in mind that is a lower estimate for page count too. All and all that's a fair rate of pay per page.

Any additional cash above that $2000, from patreons who donated for higher tiers, then goes to paying for bonus panels (assuming 8 every update with the same word density, don't feel like copy pasting again for the word count) which is $800, and then the cost of putting together the commentary, whatever that looks like for word counts and additional artwork (which would probably be priced on the lower end of 0.10 per word and a cheaper prices for art/sketches). After all that, the rest of the money left over is funneled into WhatPumpkin paying for Peaterquest, Hiveswap, and whatever else WP is working on.

I understand not liking the content of HS2, or not wanting to fund Hiveswap again after that whole disaster. Even the fear that the bonus content locked behind the $5 Patreon might not be fluff and could be important to the story is a valid concern. But all this money talk about the Patreon donations is just getting exhausting to read and is irrelevant to discussing Homestuck 2's story. Day one they said the money was not going to be spent on just the work for HS2 in the Patreon description.

This Patreon supports What Pumpkin and all authors and artists on this project. Additional funding beyond what's required to create the project will support new projects from What Pumpkin, and a portion of the proceeds will be directly shared with the creative contributors to this comic.

There is no conspiracy. No one is double dipping by having their own Patreons for their own personal projects outside of WP, or having other jobs they do. Irregardless of how much anyone on the team is making from their other jobs or Patrons, wether they're swimming in cash or poor, they deserve to be paid fairly for their work on HS2 (yes, even if you don't like their work on HS2). If you don't think they should be paid, don't donate to the Patreon. But stop whining about it all the time! Free shit is still gonna come out either way for everyone.
