Unfortunately, I'm not a US citizen, so I can't do much other than a signal boost.
It’s back.
This is beautiful and awesome.
The balloon one. Just...the balloon one.
Something about normally innocent things being used in this kind of imagery just makes it creepier.
alexandreev's eerie illustrations will keep you up at night.

Who are you kidding, of course he would. Hussie is to ships as the centre of the Sun is to snowflakes.
“But please try to be quiet in case the green beast is still nearby!”
oh no
hussie
you wouldnt
Heh heh heh.
So this chick at school said that out of all the tumblr fandoms Homestcuk was the smallest and the dumbest. Prove her wrong.
This would be a wonderful thing. Signal boost, for what it's worth.
dude
duuuude
what if, during this final hiatus, we voice acted ALL of homestuck?
I just want to say I did it
but I also realize that that is a very daunting task
who is willing to undertake it and see how far it goes?
I want a novel. A full length novel.
Books have been written about far less worthwhile ideas.
this comic affects me in so many ways

Okay, this might be too much, some details re: Gem society may be headcanon:
Name: Spinel
Appearance: Kinda tall, average width (slightly thin for her height). More angular than curvy. Hands with long, slender fingers. Chin-length hair she doesn’t really do anything with, on a vaguely rounded-rectangular head. Two eyes. Red-orange skin, brown hair. Brown gem at base of neck.
Clothing: Amber polo with a folded down collar over a brown undershirt. Polo has a white diamond patch with her facet and cut (4S3E and 7DH, respectively). Dark brown pants, red low-cut flat boots.
What Spinels Do: Spinels handle security inspections, both routine and otherwise. They vary more than most in rank, as this is something that needs to be done at all most levels of the chain of command. Our particular Spinel is around a Jasper on the chain of command, but some are barely higher than Rubies (mostly ones who’ve messed up), while a few lucky ones may well report directly to a Diamond’s second in command. Their internal security job puts them under both White and Yellow Diamond’s purview, but they take their orders more from White Diamond.
Personality: Spinel is a diligent worker and loyal Gem, almost to a fault. Most Spinels are not known for thinking outside the box; it’s not that they can’t, it’s that they won’t until they’ve extensively tried every single in-the-box idea. Our Spinel is like this too, albeit to a lesser degree. When not on the job, Spinel is formal, but not overly so. She is very respectful to and ready to take orders from anyone who seems to be above her on the chain of command, even if informally or temporarily so; otherwise, she is polite but slightly dismissive, not much of a conversationalist. Around friends, her formal demeanor slips only a bit, and she develops a somewhat wry sense of humor. On the job, though, she is very focused; she does not talk except in short, job-related sentences and does not like interruptions. She gets snippy when frustrated. Dislikes rule-breakers, has nothing but revulsion for people who don’t obey their own rules. Currently very loyal to White Diamond.
Notable Skills/Abilities: Spinel is highly adept at noticing things that seem out of place or otherwise not how they should be, though she may not know exactly how they’re supposed to be. She has an excellent memory for rules and procedures, and while she may not have an intuitive understanding of how a thing works, she is quite good at delicate or intricate technical tasks so long as nothing comes along that she doesn’t know how to do. Our Spinel is slowly getting better at the intuitive understanding thing where machines are concerned. Capable of fighting in a pinch (uses large letter openers), but not the best at it. Probably not completely terrible at being in charge and making the decisions, but probably not great at it either (she hasn’t really been in that position much if at all).
Current Task: Our Spinel was on the way to do a semi-important inspection at a relatively new gem colony after receiving distinctly nonstandard reports, but has been stranded (on Earth, maybe?) for reasons and has no means of contacting anyone. Is kinda freaking out.
EVER WONDERED WHAT YOUR GEMSONA WOULD LOOK LIKE IN CHUUBO’S MARVELOUS WISH-GRANTING ENGINE?
OKAY, YOU PROBABLY HAVEN’T. BUT BECAUSE I’M FEELING GENEROUS RIGHT NOW I THOUGHT I’D MAKE THE OFFER ANYWAY: GEMSONAS AND GEM OC’S STATTED UP, FREE OF CHARGE.
BEAR IN MIND THAT FOR THIS I’M GOING TO NEED PERSONALITY DETAILS AND POWERS MORE THAN APPEARANCE: WHAT THEY DO, WHERE THEY’RE GOING, HOW THEY DO IT.
It will.
The Harry Potter fandom persevered, and I dare say that we are more passionate than they. Who knows, having a finished story that can be analyzed and discussed in full could be a benefit. Besides, it's not like Mr. Hussie is going away. MSPA will be around for a while longer, acting as a reminder of the awesomeness we partook in.
People will continue to make fanart. People will continue to discuss it. We will make fanstuff, the fanstuff will help add to the fanbase, the additional fans might make more fanstuff and so on. This family will not stagnate and crumble, not for a long time. As long as there is electricity in our computers, lead in our pencils, ideas in our minds and fire in our hearts, we will create. We will discuss. We will analyze. We will inspire and be inspired.
That said, with Andrew contributing less, we as a fandom will really have to step up our game, so to speak. To survive, we will need to make awesome things of all kinds. We will need to make fanworks good enough to support the fandom themselves. The fandom may become a different beast altogether. If we can manage it, it will be glorious.
I'm almost looking forward to the end.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE FREAKING OUT BECAUSE OF THE GIGAPAUSE
I THINK THIS AS CALM AS I CAN GET FOR NOW
BUT IVE BEEN THINKING IT OVER AND
WHATEVER HAPPENS AFTER THE GIGAPAUSE AND WHETHER THERE IS A NEW COMIC AFTER OR NOT THE FANDOM IS NOT JUST GOING TO DIE OFF
WE ARE A FUCKING FAMILY A FUCKING OHANA
WE CAN MAKE WITTY FANDOM RELATED PUNS AND CRY OVER HAPPY MEMORIES THE REST OF OUR LIVES
IT’S GOING TO BE OKAY GUYS PLEASE SOMEONE SAY IT’S GOING TO BE OKAY
Indeed. Even the most serious blogs (I'm not one of them) should have a Charmander chasing its tail. Not having one would make one's tumblr a travesty.
if a charmander running in circles chasing its tail doesnt fit your blog then you are running the wrong kind of blog
This describes like 90% of the stuff I like.
there are some things that you’re like “everyone must experience this thing and everyone will love it” and then there are things where you’re like “this is a great thing but in order to really appreciate it you have to fit criteria A-G, H is optional but preferred and still there’s only a 60% chance you’ll actually like it”
I enjoy fiction. If I ever use this, fiction will be the subject. A few quotes may well find a place here as well. Fiction I have posted about: Homestuck
