Finally, you're going to find out your serendipitous soulmate! Your preordained partner! Your begrudging bff!

...or not

Joe: ???

Etho: Oh yeah, that's normal.

================================================

BY THE POWER OF RNG, THE SOULMATES HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED! Aaaaaa the pairs are actually pretty interesting, I'm excited!!! :D

I'm not planning to reveal everyone's soulmate just yet, but here's proof that it's been done:

Next update soon? Hopefully? I already got a plan for it ohoho

Etho: Let's get you out of the water for now

Etho: -and onto that convenient unnatural-looking rock.

Etho: You have any blocks on you?

Joe: A crafting table and one leftover plank!

Etho: It'll do.

Joe: Thanks a ton!

Joe: Sooo

Joe: What were you swimming over there for, eh, Etho?

Joe: Let me guess, was it

===ATTENTION TO ALL PLAYERS!===

Will the pairs be different from last time?

I kind of hope so, I think the idea of exploring different dynamics would be cool. But it's what you do, I'm sure it will be cool either way!

Best of luck!!

WELL READ ON AND FIND OUT yeah no they'll be different xD at least most of them will be, i assume

i'm letting RNG take the wheel, so i don't plan on ensuring zero repeats from the real Double Life (but if there are more than 2 i might reroll)

and thank you!!

[zhukzucraft]

I know you probably get this a lot, but your art style for quadruple life is immaculate!!! I can't wait to see where the story goes!

i ;m!!! very honoured!!!! T ^ T

i'll do my best not to disappoint!

I actually love how your banner is a bunch of really distinct cartoon styles that are recognizable, like how Gem is obviously Disney Princess inspired, Cleo is monster girl doll inspired, Jimmy is classic 60s Saturday morning superhero cartoons, etc. The only ones I can’t figure out are grian, tango, and scar. Was there a specific style/cartoon they were inspired by? Or just something you made up on your own? (Also is there a name for Impulse and Skizz’s style? Bc j wanna say Johnny test but that almost feels like a crime)

i think i've answered smth like this before...

right, found it!

but tl:dr: Grian is based on my vague recollection of comics like Tintin or Calvin & Hobbs, Tango on some kind of cubist painting, and Scar was supposed to be styled after Total Drama Island (even though i've never watched it) but i kinda failed lol

Imp & Skizz are based on Penny Arcade, which is probably a crime as well

and thank you a bunch! <3

=> Follow Etho

Etho: What in the world?..

Joe: Howdy, Etho!

Joe: Fancy some company? With complimentary live music to set the mood for adventure, perhaps?

Etho: How-

Etho: Um

Etho: Alrighty then.

Etho: Are you sure you can swim like this?

Joe: No worries, I've got everything here under contrblrobrblrbl

================================================

You have made the first step towards forging an alliance! But with the soulmate assignment looming on the horizon, will it last?

(you guys are AMAZING btw, here are only some of my favourite suggestions under the cut)

(also don't worry Joe will return the instrument to his sister post haste)

and last but not least

[zhukzucraft]

kinda random question but the history has actually a plan or is it going with the flow?

i'd say the early game is about 50% planned! Not every plot point can be realistically driven by reader input, so i have ideas in mind for what most characters will be doing if "unsupervised". But i'm also ready to alter the plans whenever the narrative deviates from them (and have already had to do so)

late game tho? almost entirely up in the air for now

[zhukzucraft]

this is so cute!?! your juppet design is immaculate!

WAAAAH THANK

i hope Joe himself is ok too ;;; i fiddled with his design for a while

[zhukzucraft]

OH MY GOD I LOVE YOUR IDEA FOR QUADRUPLE LIFE SOSOSO MUCH!!!

double life was my fave by far and now joe and doc and lizzie and people are all in it too!! agh it sounds so cool i’m so hyped for the the next part you make! (but take your time! no rush :))

thank you!!!! and yeah honestly it's a crime that DL was so short and with so few participants. im making it to hopefully scratch the itch for more

[zhukzucraft]

Joe should punch someone

sorry, the 3 day suggestion period is over :') also it would be more convenient if all suggestions were submitted through replies (i WILL count the ask ones too tho)

Joe might just punch someone anyway! i'll be using the suggestions for inspiration in crafting a character's story even if i don't choose them for the next update

[zhukzucraft]

Hi I just want to say that the idea for a Choose Your Own Adventure Life Series is really cool you’re doing a great job 👍

THANK YOU !! !

[zhukzucraft]

Just wanted to let you know, your Homestuck-life series was the final push for me to read/watch/experience Homestuck. I am now on act 5, can I have my time back?

oh god this will weigh on my conscience forever now. What have i done. oh man. oh god (props on the incredible reading speed tho!)

[zhukzucraft]

unrelated to the au but ive been laughing at ur banner for the past 30 minutes help

to you and also:

i'm SO glad you sent that 'cause i've actually been feeling self-conscious about the banner and considering changing it. But no, now the mess STAYS x)

[zhukzucraft]

Hey, since you're looking for input in the replies, can you tell me how to reply to your posts? like do you need to go into default tumblr mode to do that or does that work with custom themes orrr

oh dear i'm not sure since i don't use any custom themes and am generally abysmal with technology ;;;; uhhh, ideas, anyone?

actually i'm considering making a discord for voting and suggestions and such, so maybe that will work for you?

[zhukzucraft]

it's Sherlock Stress and Dr Watskall

[zhukzucraft]

TYSM!!
