HOUSETRAPPED - Weapons!

transientAcatalepsy

Question: Our weapons. Do we have to worry about them breaking?

aorticAblution 13-Jan-22 03:26 PM

Only if it would be cool and dramatic

transientAcatalepsy 13-Jan-22 03:26 PM

fantastic

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 03:26 PM

It must be the final hit

Or the hit before the final hit and then you pull out a different weapon to land the final hit

aorticAblution 13-Jan-22 03:26 PM

(or if it would be really really funny)

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 03:26 PM

That too

Fall down some stairs snap the legendary piece of shit in half

transientAcatalepsy 13-Jan-22 03:29 PM

I was thinking that I'd start with a sword like this

transientAcatalepsy 13-Jan-22 03:31 PM

And then, as my Knight of Doom powers grow

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 03:31 PM

But yee that as like

transientAcatalepsy 13-Jan-22 03:31 PM

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 03:31 PM

Platonic ideal of the rapiersword thing

Oh my god

aorticAblution 13-Jan-22 03:32 PM

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 03:32 PM

I love you and this is perfect

transientAcatalepsy 13-Jan-22 03:32 PM

what

i don't understand

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 03:32 PM

Dave Strider knight of time

Has this exact

Dramatic moment

Where his sword breaks in Twain

And he uses a broken sword for most of the comic

transientAcatalepsy 13-Jan-22 03:33 PM

lmao

broken sword

aorticAblution 13-Jan-22 03:33 PM

transientAcatalepsy 13-Jan-22 03:33 PM

and then like, as my character arc continues

i like, restore the rest of the blade with

pure Doom Power

blazing teal light

aorticAblution 13-Jan-22 03:34 PM

yes!!!!

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 03:34 PM

Oooooooooo fuck

aorticAblution 13-Jan-22 03:34 PM

thats so fucking cool

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 03:34 PM

I fucking love it

Literally the moment u said can weapons break my mind went to botw

And these shits are the absolute coolest

So

Yes

Goddamn lightsaber thru the power of fatalism hahaha

transientAcatalepsy 13-Jan-22 03:35 PM

I was kind of like

having the weapon be a representation of how "I" feel about my aspect

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 03:36 PM

Oooooo

Ooooooooo!!!!!

transientAcatalepsy 13-Jan-22 03:36 PM

at first there's this kind of. almost defiance? pure steel, nothing fancy, trusting in the power of man to stand against the end of all things

and then, as this moment comes where I just become completely enveloped in Doom

maybe to save my friends

maybe to defeat an enemy

it breaks my sword

transientAcatalepsy

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 03:37 PM

sting thehobbit

I like it

transientAcatalepsy 13-Jan-22 03:37 PM

I am a vessel for the end, and no amount of Determination can change that

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 03:37 PM

Definitely different from Dave

Who just like, didn't want to grab the sword from the stone

And broke the goddamn thing off its handle

aorticAblution 13-Jan-22 03:38 PM

tisky: i have no idea what im doing also tisky: i have created pure fucking art

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 03:38 PM

You now understand Homestuck more than Hussie

Congratulations

transientAcatalepsy 13-Jan-22 03:38 PM

but i learn that Doom, Death, Entropy- it doesn't mean that I am destined for destruction

or rather, the kind of all-encompassing destruction that leaves no room for anything else

I am the ceaseless wheel. I come, and I cut away the old, the weary, the tired so that there's room for new life to grow. I am death, destroyer of worlds- but not all worlds.

and that's when i get the lightsaber sword

acceptance and apotheosis

in one

(i'll draw these all up properly later, these are just the inspirations)

cause I'm thinking of like. Interpreting my Knight of Doom powers meaning that while I'm strong in direct physical combat- not just because of the Knight part, but because Doom is death, i am uniquely skilled at ending things- but as it grows inside me, it starts externalizing more.

I am storms, i am fire, i am thinking of ending things. i bring entropy crashing down from the future into the present

does this work

aorticAblution 13-Jan-22 03:48 PM

this slaps so hard

transientAcatalepsy 13-Jan-22 03:49 PM

:snug:

aorticAblution 13-Jan-22 03:50 PM

oh fun fact doom is also explosions so theres probably gonna be a lot of dramatically walking away from things blowing up

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 03:50 PM

Is it?

Thought that was more Space

I mean it definitely has explosions

aorticAblution 13-Jan-22 03:50 PM

oh my god who knew shaving cream could be so flammable!!1

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 03:51 PM

That's space!!!!

Gas being lit!!! Jade being actively changed by it

A Big Bang, so to speak

Tho I think explosions might be doom while combustion is space

aorticAblution 13-Jan-22 03:51 PM

nah its black and white striped, duality of doom

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 03:51 PM

If that makes sense (?)

aorticAblution

nah its black and white striped, duality of doom

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 03:52 PM

plus it is associated w dad Egbert a life player

aorticAblution 13-Jan-22 03:52 PM

ye

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 03:52 PM

Compressed cans???? Are doom???

Lmfao

Cheez wiz is ur element tsk

aorticAblution 13-Jan-22 03:52 PM

i think we can all agree on that

transientAcatalepsy 13-Jan-22 03:54 PM

and i was thinking like- my evil self, the Bard of Time- his big pitch (I've been thinking of this scene since you introduced evil us as a concept) is that look- i can make it never end. I can make it so that the universe keeps going, so that you never have to experience loss again. I'll take the stuff of the universe and i'll rewrite it all so that we never have to be sad again because we'll have everything

aorticAblution 13-Jan-22 03:54 PM

oh fuuuuuuck

transientAcatalepsy 13-Jan-22 03:54 PM

a little bit of everything, all of the time

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 03:55 PM

Eliza, we can perform night after night after night and nothing needs to change

transientAcatalepsy 13-Jan-22 03:55 PM

yep

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 03:55 PM

these two are fucking perfect for u

Im gonna tell u the time aspect does have associations w theater and curtains

Pantomime

Fuucckkkk I'm so excited

aorticAblution 13-Jan-22 03:56 PM

sameee

transientAcatalepsy 13-Jan-22 03:57 PM

and i just sort of. take him into my arms. And he begins to wither to dust until even his bones break down, because change is inevitable, loss is inevitable - but we can't let inevitably stop us from appreciating what we have. we all have to grow up, scary as that process is. it has to end, because endings give it meaning, and if it has meaning, then next time- maybe someone will learn from it. and do better.

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 03:57 PM

Performer audience divide collapsing in on itself becoming a tangled ouroborous

Barding time

transientAcatalepsy 13-Jan-22 03:57 PM

i was supposed to take a shower and go shopping but instead i talked about homestuck recursive fanfic for an hour

i was supposed to take a shower and go shopping but instead i talked about homestuck recursive fanfic for an hour

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 03:58 PM

ME

God

You get it

You get it!!!!!

transientAcatalepsy 13-Jan-22 03:58 PM

do i

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 03:58 PM

Finally :DDDDD

Yes

Unironically

transientAcatalepsy 13-Jan-22 03:58 PM

i'm just vibin man

aorticAblution 13-Jan-22 03:58 PM

exactly!

you get it

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 03:58 PM

this is the exact galaxy your brain should be in

transientAcatalepsy 13-Jan-22 03:58 PM

i still don't get half of the terms being thrown around lol

aorticAblution 13-Jan-22 03:58 PM

nobody does

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 03:59 PM

We can keep defining but honestly lots of the time you'll just

Pick them up as you go along

aorticAblution 13-Jan-22 03:59 PM

we only understand each other because we've been jabbering nonsense at each other for years at this point

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 03:59 PM

Yes

I could not

Interact with the rest of homestuck fandom

Because I made half of this shit up hahaha

It's like languages developed in isolation from the same base lmao

transientAcatalepsy 13-Jan-22 03:59 PM

fandoms are gross and stinky, simply create bubble of friends that sparks joy

2

aorticAblution 13-Jan-22 04:00 PM

yes!

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 04:00 PM

YES!!!

YOU GET IT

And the bubble is shaped like this

And has all sorts of fun planets to quest around in but the key is that the planets are also made up, by us!

Yes gods yes masters but we are them

And it's all expressed through poetry and prose and edited images and memes

and that's,

Homestucj

Its key appeal, at least, lol.

Basically, you got it man haha

Go shop!!!!! Or whatever.

Reconvene

transientAcatalepsy 13-Jan-22 04:05 PM

:snug:

i was nervous about this cause like

i love everyone on this server

but i don't have the same

understanding you all do

and i was worried it would inhibit me from creating on the same level as all of you

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 04:05 PM

I don't think Chartic ever finished it and Ash didn't get past the first quarter

It is just two insane people hahaha

aorticAblution 13-Jan-22 04:06 PM

yee

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 04:06 PM

I will tell you now

Don't read homestuck for this rp

aorticAblution 13-Jan-22 04:06 PM

or at all

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 04:06 PM

Because last time that happened

I then spent

transientAcatalepsy 13-Jan-22 04:06 PM

i wasn't going to lmao

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 04:06 PM

3 months

transientAcatalepsy 13-Jan-22 04:06 PM

like i legit think i physically cant

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 04:06 PM

Completely having my identity shattered and rebuilt

transientAcatalepsy 13-Jan-22 04:06 PM

something about the way it's animated gives me a searing headache

i could barely watch that video you sent

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 04:07 PM

And coming out of it w 65k words of fanfiction

transientAcatalepsy

i could barely watch that video you sent

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 04:07 PM

ah yeah.

aorticAblution 13-Jan-22 04:07 PM

it is kind of frenetic and very flashy

【ＳＫＡＩＡ】 13-Jan-22 04:07 PM

does hs desktop have a gif slower downer yet

if it doesn't it will when the modding update happens

but for now

even if that's literally the sole reason that's an incredibly valid one

HS hurts the eyes

Many times on purpose for "funny"

see gamzee's fetch modus

or fuckin trickster intro flashes

So yeah

Valid as fuck lol
