At long last: the headshot reference sheet for my Trafficstuck AU!

They’re organized by which ship they were on when they left Alternia (post-3rd Life, pre-Last Life).

(Please click through to view the smaller images at full resolution! Tumblr kinda ate the stylistic sharpness I was going for.)

[DISTANT SOUNDS OF A HEAD SLAMMING ONTO A DESK]

hi here's a homestuck panel edit with our beloveds grian the mutant rustblood and mumboe jumboe, social reject

as my brain made this into a double life au, and mumbo isn't in double life, i made it so he and grian lived together (through some wacky shenanigans that include them both being incredibly wanted) and mumbo and grian's lusus died during entry. his lusus was prototyped first, then mumbo which is why mumbo has wings in the bg there. gonna be honest, there were going to be more birdlike features on him but im so tired,,

uhhh what else. i changed mumbo's horns bc they were pissing me off. tango is an heir of rage and also a goldblood. the game in question was basically coined to be a virus by every techsavvy member of their friendgroup but grian ignored them and lo and behold, homestuck. tango and grian's handles are reignedAzidoazide and procrastinatingBellbird, respectively. tango's typing quirk is That bc both pairs of his horns look like lowercase t's :D

have a nice day this is still chrisrin's fault but im not tagging him this time lmfao

Boatem Homestuck Classpects (pt 1 desert Duo)

Okay so with @chrisrin single-handedly getting my homestuck nostalgia from five years ago rearing its ugly head, I’ve decided to try to sort the boatem crew into classpects. I am starting off with desert Duo and hopefully, I’ll be able to churn out the other three soon after. My credentials are I watched a ton of optimisticduelist’s videos at the peak of my homestuck phase and sorted characters in digimon with their classpects and captchalogue. So without further ado when I should be getting ready to head out to college, the boatem classpects. (Also boo, gendered classes are stupid therefore no classes are gendered.)

Grian

Grian is the Heir of Rage. One who invites change through rage or one who invites changes through rage, for others

Rage in the context of homestuck does not always correlate with anger but rather the idea of chaos. The destabilization of things that we once knew. While there are obvious examples of this in the hermitcraft series I’d like to start with Evo. 

Evo was a server that was constantly changing, with every new update to the minecraft would invited a sense of chaos to the world. However, despite creating the world itself, Grian invites rage to change Evo through the watchers, leaving him in more passive role. That’s not to say that Grian didn’t cause his own brand of active chaos on the server with his pranking, but his biggest act of rage was through the watchers changing the world. Finally, Grian cemented his role as an heir by quite literally inheriting the role of the watcher. 

In Hermitcraft, Grian invitation of change through rage can be seen through the prank wars and the mycelium revolution. While grian himself did not start the prank war. He decides to escalate it to the point where a war could be fought over it, inviting a string of chaos that impacts others. And while the mycelium revolution Grian starts all by himself, he does so in order to not benefit himself but the change hermitcraft through another story. 

Grian’s relationship with rage is a bit more different in the context of the life series. Arguably this is Grian at his most passive but also at his most active. For 3rd life, Grian invites rage through Scar. By killing scar and aligning himself with him, Grian can use scar as a vessel for his brand of rage. Instead of being an active participant in the chaos and bloodshed, Grian is all doing it under the name of scar because scar is the red life. However, grian is directly responsible for inviting that change into the server by killing scar with the creeper, making him an active and passive participant in the resulting end of 3rd life. 

Scar

Scar is the Witch of Light. One that changes light or one that changes through light for themselves

Light is best described by the phrase fortune favors the bold. Luck. This idea of getting away with things against all odds. Light also represents a sense of relevance. An important figure in order to get the plot moving forward. One great example of this could be seen in Scar’s role during the mycelium resistance where Scar acts as the catalyst for the war to break out in the first place through his good fortune of becoming mayor. As a witch of light, Scar is able to change the course of luck for himself rather than for the benefit of others. Often this amounts to his more capitalistic nature like his endeavors with convex and season 8’s Offworld Escapes travel agency.

Scar is also a man who is just drenched in charisma and luck. Despite his many deaths and his unlucky streak of general untrustworthiness, he is still able to get people to buy what he is selling. He changes fortune to be on his side. I’d like to use last life and double life as an example of how he is able to talk his way out of being killed despite proving time and time again that his deals are typically not to be trusted. He is able to change light or in this case fortune to be in his favor.

Both Scar fortune and misfortune serve to benefit him in some way by changing the course of the story. During 3rd life, his first death by Grian may have seemed like a stroke of bad luck, however, it was this death that allowed for Scar to have a loyal partner up until the end of the series. The same goes for the loss of his second life, one might call that a misfortune but it provided the opportunity for scar to seek revenge against those he believed wronged him. This pattern of luck through misfortune seems to follow him through the rest of the life series.

Another thing to note is that the witch is the active counterpart to the heir making Scar and Grian's dynamic specifically in the life series to be so prominent. They both work together to create large-scale changes within the story of the first life smp, however, grian does it through scar in order to change the entire dynamic of the server, while Scar does it in service to himself.

Eethos Slahab & Foxdad

(Been practicing simplifying designs & did this to try out a Homestuck inspired style. It kinda walks the line between a few of the art styles used in comics, but I’m very happy with it! Also Foxdad no longer has antlers due to them being an absolute bitch to draw on an all white fox.)

[enderwoah]

i'll be real. i do not know why i drew this. i very suddenly remembered trafficstuck and was like you know what is vibes...skizz's limlife death. so. here! skizz is a knight of blood and if you disagree you can talk to a Brick Wall /nsrs

I want a big fat hot cookie like no other. Or a brownie.

[verdantglow]

out of curiousity, why go with desert duo as moirails? Is that their dynamic from the start? do you plan to have their dynamic shift at all? because i could definitely see them dancing between moraillegence, kismesitude and matespritship

They are moirails to start off with, yes! Or at least that’s what they tell people (& usually tell themselves): Griann is there to pacify high blood Scar for everyone’s safety & in exchange Scar offers protection to Griann, who is a mutant blood. (In fact, Griann probably wouldn’t have made it to adulthood & getting off planet if it weren’t for the fact that his moirail is royalty, but that’s a different post.)

Most people who meet them find this odd because in what world is Scar dangerous? That tall goofy-ass sea dweller? Dude who cries every time the lusus dies in any given film? Can barely keep himself alive guy? Surely Griann mostly is protecting Scar from himself right?

Then they play The Game & realize that oh no, Scar really is a typical sea dweller underneath it all. & even worse, Griann, while very capable of pacifying Scar, will often just choose not to, instead fanning the flames of Scar’s bloodlust.

‘Cause that’s the thing with these two: look even a little close at their relationship & you’ll realize they have the sloppiest effing quadrants you’ve ever seen. Are they pale? Are they flushed? Are they pitch? Who even knows! They sure as hell don’t. Heck, half the time Griann is running around acting ashen between Scar & the world to try to keep him alive!

They say The Signless & The Disciple’s relationship transcended quadrants; Griann & Scar’s more so just vacillates wildly between them all, smashing anything in their path.

But yeah, if you ask them, they are definitely moirails, cut & dry, definitely no confusion there whatsoever, how could you even suggest such a thing, how absolutely rude & out of line of you.
