They're here.

Leviathan, Emperor of the Deep. My version of a Mermonkey paragon. Why do they have tentacles? Paragonification process forgot to separate Lord of the Abyss from their cthulhu turtle thing. Did my best to make them look like a combination of all three monkeys. Giving them a tiara, crown, or other headgear didn't look right so I turned it into a necklace instead.

What kinds of powers should they have?

this is my new homestuck species called "the fan species" on account of having fans on them

[thevoidcircus]

I am so late to 413 that it's already over in Australia... But other countries are still experiencing 413 so it's still valid, right?

... RIGHT??

btw hsbc is going to shit as usual so here's my feelings expressed in a gif that took less than 10 minutes to slap together

[thevoidcircus]

So, I never thought a day would come that the fandom would be more divided than it was during Act 6, Act 8, Hiveswap, Friendsim, the Epilogues, or the WP contributions to Beyond Canon, but it looks like it happened. So I'm gonna come out and say it.

My blog is oldfan-friendly! Whether you started your MS Paint Adventures before Homestuck, joined with Homestuck but dropped out halfway through, left at [S] Cascade because nothing could ever top crashing Newgrounds, stuck it out for the comic, played the dubiously canon material out of nostalgia, or loitered about all of the post-canon material hoping for your headcanon's big day that never came, it doesn't matter, I'll be your chatbuddy.

Forget star signs or MBTI or emotion charts, which of your OCs are lead-singer-hot, harmonist-hot, guitarist-hot, bassist-hot, or drummer-hot?

Anyway, here's a positive post about The Sims because I don't want to be a mopey marlon the whole day.

This is Peidax Yoth, I met this weirdo nearly a decade ago during one of the last times I played TS3 before backwards compatibility stopped being an option. He did not have any of the hair or the clothes or the piercings, that was my doing. He moved in with my sim because they'd become such good friends at that point and he was generally an endearingly goofy dude that made the save more fun.

... You gotta believe me. The yassification was unintended, I literally just wanted to give him a hairstyle and then it was joever for me.

Anyway, I decided recently that he didn't deserve to be left in the limbo of a long-dead laptop, so I scrapped together what few screenshots I had of him and did my best attempt at making a new version of him in TS4, a version who's perhaps a bit better adapted to life on Earth and has access to that alt-universe disguise tech.

Anyway, if this post EVER reaches the absolutely delusional goal of 20000 notes I'll do my best to remake him in TS2 as well... God he'll look so cringe in 2005 Disney Sitcom clothes.

On the Sims 1 & 2 Rerelease

I'll be the first to admit I did not play Sims 1. But I did play Sims 2 and 3 when they released, and for a long time before I played 4, and believe me, the amount of people complaining about how awfully buggy TS2's remaster was have been absolutely spoiled with Sims 4. Hell, the romanticisation of TS2 at the hands of big-name simmers also ticked me off, but I won't fault them because I'm not immune to nostalgia either. As much as the TS4 community claims to hate whaling for EA on TS4 packs, it doesn't change the fact that TS4 manages to still be nowhere near as broken as TS2. That's not saying much in light of the recent game breaking glitches people are reporting in TS4, but it's something.

Pink/Purple soup is nothing new. Hell, back in my day it was blue soup. There would be blue soup on people's heads, there would be blue soup on their teeth if they were vampires, there would be blue soup in the eyes, there would be blue soup in the pool. Everything had the chance to become blue soup. Back in my day it was my save file corrupting because I did literally anything, up to and including:

Bringing back Bella Goth in Pleasantview.

Asking to be bit by the Grand Vampire, subsequently leading to him or her eventually biting an incomplete sim like Agnes.

Making any positive or negative memories with homeless townies

Bringing back Bella Goth in Strangetown

Creating a baby with Utility Sims like Grim or the shrink

Playing the Curious or Beaker households in Strangetown

Trying to play the Romeo and Juliet gameplay in Veronaville

Trying to resurrect premade ghosts anywhere

Cheating NPCs to show up at the house because I was young and dumb and didn't learn that lesson for nearly five years

Doing literally anything in Strangetown and Veronaville

Visiting Downtown anywhere after the Grand Vampire has bitten someone in the save file, once again leading to him eventually biting an NPC or incomplete sim... Like Agnes.

Putting I Am Dead Tokens on sims to see what would happen.

Using the height cheat to make everyone 20 feet tall

Turning on testingcheats and using every cheat I could find

Making Don Lothario woohoo with every last grown man and woman in Pleasantview (Yes, that happened, my save file was crying blue by the end of it)

Sims 2 being a self-corrupting nightmare when left unattended in vanilla is nothing new, and the amount of people crapping on about how broken the game was compared to how veteran simmers romanticised it got old REAL quick. Yes, Sims 2 had a lot of cool content and a good chunk of it still isn't in Sims 4. But at least your save file won't get corrupted because Vlad bit a premade townie. Probably. Trust me, you will enjoy the Sims franchise a lot more when you realise that it's always been a buggy mess at every stop and turn, take it on the chin, and play the installment that best suits your needs and whims. There are still so many performance improving mods out there, likely for all the games, and some of these modders will eventually come out of the woodworks to update for the definitive edition.

Off the top of my head, these are more loaded with web content than Homestuck:

DOOM

Undertale (it escaped its containment field and stayed out. Homestuck at least has the decency to reel its rabid squeakers in on occasion)

Pokemon Pokemon Pokemon

Furries

The Sims franchise (It's less niche than you think, there's a reason there were four main-series games and at least a dozen spinoffs)

Creepypasta

Vocaloid

Fake rescue videos

AMVs if you were around pre-2012

Death battle and power scaling threads

Earworm trigger song reposts and traps

You can tell that a person has been terribly sheltered when they try to come up with an example of the most odious excesses of web media and the worst thing they can think of is Homestuck.

[thevoidcircus]

Naturally. There is no better pair to usher in the new canon fantrolls but the Karezi skeletons.

This is my first Undertale theory I've ever posted in public, go easy on me

Sans and Papyrus are Homestuck trolls.

They have weird and overpowered abilities that break the rules (Sans confirmed, Papyrus implied). The only other monster who broke the rules needed to absorb human souls to do so.

They're explicitly not from around here. They just "showed up one day" and Sans refers to a "we" when examining the time anomaly. Alphys isn't a good enough scientist to be part of the project and Gaster was abstracted from existence, which only leaves Papyrus. Papyrus, for as dumb as he acts in public, knows a lot about Sans' projects, and every time he slips that he might know more, he immediately defaults to much dumber behaviour than usual.

They have weird typing quirks. In fact, they and Gaster are the only ones to explicitly change font when speaking in the entire game.

Why does Sans bleed but Papyrus doesn't? Well, we could claim Papyrus' classpect as Knight of Void, meaning he is protecting himself and Sans with the power of nothingness. It would tie in really well with the fact that he can't become a real knight no matter how hard he tries, so he had to pull his knight persona out of nowhere. Papyrus would also be the Prospit player while Sans is the Derse player.

What about Sans' classpect? What about it? It's obviously Witch of Time, bending the rules of what it means to be a Time player as well as making active moves to subtly change the trajectory of the timeline so that you can never canonically wander into certain parts of the Underground like Ruins City, Waterfall City, Hotland City, or the streets of New Home City, or truly permaban everyone in the Underground from the Minecraft server IRL. Teleporting you and him through the world can be like moving the two of you through different points in time, and since Witches can bend and break the rules, they can access the "Space" side of SpaceTime, like how Jade was able to access a token small amount of Time powers due to being a Witch of Space.

If they're trolls and Sans' blood colour is red, what is Papyrus' blood colour? It's probably either teal or cerulean, most likely teal. Sans' blood (assuming it's not ketchup) is red even though his jacket is cerulean. You see, if you put both of their favourite colours together, and hue-shift them until Sans' jacket turns red, you will see that Papyrus' boots, gloves, and cape turn a bright cyannish-teal. Which means Papyrus has to be a tealblood if Sans is a redblood. This is a clear reference to Karezi, which would obviously implicate them as being Karkat and Terezi's ectobiological descendants.

Why are they skeletons when god tiers still die when they take too much damage? Well, have you ever heard of Ideal Self Theory? This theory gathers together a bunch of small things about Dream Selves and God Tier that heavily imply that the body you take on every time you have a Neutral Death in your God Tier form will match the body you consider ideal for that point in your life. It's entirely possible that Sans and Papyrus were perfectly normal Homestuck trolls for the first few time loops, but then used God Tier Shenanigans to turn into skeletons in order to blend in. It's also possible that Papyrus is currently putting a glamour on both of them, which is a physical appearance that isn't really there. A void identity.

Where are their horns? Read above. It's either god tier death shenanigans or glamour shenanigans. Pick your poison.

Why Homestuck? Because Megalovania. Toby did a LOT of music work for Homestuck, and Megalovania ties both settings together. Sans can't be Ness because Undertale is already an expy of Earthbound with extra steps, making Sans into Ness would just be gratuitous at that point. Which leaves the other media he stuck Megalovania into being Homestuck, and as yet, the Homestuck references in Undertale are far less than the Earthbound ones. The closest we get is differently-coloured human souls might be a stand-in for troll blood colours and the Amalgamates being a stand-in for ectobiology mutants, but that's a stretch for obvious reasons. Sans' leitmotif is technically "sans." with his battle theme being "song that might play when you fight sans" and Papyrus' leitmotif is technically "Nyeh Heh Heh" with his battle theme being "Bonetrousle", but Sans' theme changes to his geno-theme "Megalovania" if the chips are down and nothing else matters. This would implicate Papyrus' geno-theme to be "Megalo Strike Back" if the shoe ended up on the other foot.

Why did you do this? I was bored and wanted to make an out-of-pocket theory that connects Undertale to Homestuck via the genius of Toby Fox. If you scrolled this far and thought I was being serious, I urge you to read Point 6 again and see if you still think this is serious.

Have fun, weirdos.

Forget basing your characters' personalities off their star signs or their birthstones or whichever otherworldly demonic alien possessed their bodies a few years back. Which of your OCs can wield Mjolnir based on their levels of compassion, restraint, nobility, wisdom, humility, and capacity to pull the plug if there are no other options?

Just a Newbie Reaper I whipped together in Heroforge a few months back. tbh I thought the lack of bunny skull was a flub and had to use the normal bunny head, but he thought it was really cool anyway so there's that :D Please don't reuse or attempt to recreate this anywhere, I made it specifically as a gift for him to use for whatever he feels like using it for.

If you're interested in scary games, folklore, and scary stories, go check out his Youtube, give him a watch and see what you think!

It took way too goddamn long to get Zero's NPC mod and Aramiteus' high school mod to function with each other, and it took way too much messing around with ANPCR to make sure any overlapping tuning was scrubbed. I'm still troubleshooting it, but I think I'm most of the way to making all four classrooms work.
