Oh wow, this is the best giveaway ever! Could you do something with Terezi and Tarvek interacting? Any quadrant, or not shippy at all if you want. I just think that could be really interesting. Or maybe some psychological conversation between Rose and Dirk? I'm sorry, I'm a bit partial to m/c characters... Also, are you posting all the results of this?

[This was for my 1001 Follower Fic Giveaway. I’m making a minimal effort to clean out my inbox, and I think I should admit that I’m never ever going to write more of this crossover than I already have. So… here you go! Belatedly.]

The other like ¾ of it were supposed to involve Vriska and Terezi finding out that Gil and Bang had nemeses in “Team Squall”, that is, Tarvek (violet) and Vi (indigo). Chatlog 2: Vriska asking Eridan for help forming an alliance with them, because of course Eridan and Tarvek would be fashion nerd snob friends. Chatlog 3: group chat of Teams Scourge and Squall +, unfortunately, Eridan. Vileta insists she doesn’t even like this game and she just plays to make sure Tarvek doesn’t get himself killed, because of some oath her ancestor swore to his. The others are all like, “so…moirails?” Tarvek and Vi simultaneously: EW, NO, GROSS. Then they all get back to planning, you know, vengeance of Gil and Bang.

Chatlog 4: Gil chiding Bang for setting Vriska’s coat on fire again, as well as Eridan. Not his clothes - Eridan entirely. Aflame. DF: well ma¥be ¡ƒ ¥ou ha∂n’t been too bus¥ ƒl¡rt¡ng w¡th ¥our k¡smes¡s to stop her ƒrom tr¥¡ng to m¡n∂control me aga¡n!!!GW: }Tarvek is ~NOT MY KISMESIS~{

know what, I’m just going to start a list of the best things in this upd8:

[it became a list of my reactions and some theorizing based on the upd8, and sorta long, so cut]

Dave calling Roxy “Mom”, correcting it to “Roxy”, and repeat. And repeat.

“my best best best best best friend”

the oh-so-delicate attempts to dance around the subject of Dirk/Bro. “Attempts” is the key word here.

Dersedorks: a friendly family psychiatry business

Rose is enjoying herself far too much rn

Dave evidently has two modes, Obsessive Projection of Image vs. No Filter Whatsoever and I’m completely loving it

he also totally ships John/Roxy

Dave really really does have a problem with making everything into an innuendo, geez.

Roxy seems okay with the implication of Dave/Jake though. 

update on the first bullet point: it gets even better oh lord

update on the third bullet point. ALSO GETS EVEN BETTER. “and maybe a better person to have it with than me” “…” “do you like orange soda” “no” “NO??”

Dave saying “y’all” when talking to a single person is also great btw. more people need to write this kid with a deep Texan accent because you know he has one.

“what about your quest” THANK YOU, DAVE. {I firmly believe all the kids are going to have to complete their quests or at least talk to their denizens before this is over, and Rose’s was clearly important.)

“I can't squeeze it in before the battle. And after, we'll have supposedly "won"” *hysterical laughter from reader who knows better not even because Caliborn’s shitty vines but oh Rose, have you been living the same comic I’ve been reading? last time there was a Plan you created the Sun you were trying to destroy…*

THIS IS A FANTASTIC USE OF SPRITE KERNEL OH MY GOD ARE WE GOING TO DO JOHN NEXT AND HAVE ALL THE BETA KIDS THIS IS SO GREAT. she’ll probably die because having repeat players seems unallowed (unless - no, even if Davesprite is out there somewhere.) But OMG GOOD GOING JASPERSPRITE YOU’RE THE BEST GHOST KITTY/GAME CONSTRUCT EVER.

“DAVE: thanks ghost cat great job” “JASPERSPRITE: :3 :3 :3″ Damn straight.

aahhhh Light players and their projections of narrative (I mean they’re not technically wrong, just…generally wrong.) Oh Rosey-posey, no sweetie, don’t you feel like you have no goal and you’re nothing but an observer. You are a magnificent fucker-upper of shit, you analyze and organize and tbh could probably totally lead your session though it’s true that John’s a better, um, center of the group. Though it’s also true that I don’t really see Rosesprite going anywhere - if Rose touched her, would she be absorbed into the sprite or would she become a Spritely God Tier like Jade? SUPER SEER. seems fair; John also has extra powers now, and Dave as the Supermegaultra Pimp-Slaying Sword of Destiny. 

seriously though, love how Dave’s questions are all Let’s Be Friends get-to-know-you level and Roxy’s are all Sleepover level. Y’all are adorable and I for one cannot wait until Roxy formally adopts Dave. There will be papers and a ceremony I’m sure. Dad and his kids will provide the desserts.

rose lalonde

opening lines of “Amsterdam" of course: "I’m sorry, mother… I’m sorry, I let you down / Well, these days I’m fine - No these days I tend to lie”

Neon Jungle’s "Take Me to Church" cover is my hemostuck!Rosemary song, again from the first lines: “My lover’s got humor / She’s the giggle at a funeral / Knows everybody’s disapproval”

“Landsailor" is the one true Beta Kids song, fight me. They’re even in order, second verse being Rose’s. "Lightbringer / Tamer of night / Blossom of hours unleashed / Make me a law bender / All equalized / Saved from the chill and heat / Your power flows through me transformed / Here’s where I was born" Then after the musical interlude I’d bring in the alpha kids, 2 lines per person, and the last verse would be everyone being badass together oh if only I had art skills.

The first body that ever went missing (in Homestuck) was actually just Kanaya waking up and saying, "fuck this 'being dead' thing, I'm (blood)thirsty." Given that vampirism is traditionally passed through bites and there's nothing to say Rose and Kanaya didn't get at least a little kinky on the asteroid, I choose to believe that daywalkerism/vampirism is transmittable cross-species and Rose just got up and wandered off of her own accord, possibly fearing that she would drain her best friend and mother/daughter if she stayed where she could smell their blood. This is canon until proven otherwise.
