@tickingnectarine West Asian is a thing, but it's Saudi Arabia/Turkey/Georgia/Lebanon/etc. there's South Asian, East Asian, and West Asian. East Asian is where China and Japan and Korea fall, along with Mongolia. South Asian is Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, and some other small islands and stuff. so, like, which region you're picking kind of depends on what you want for the country, like, these are all pretty different places to come from, and most of them, with the exception of China/Japan/Korea, are not things people will think of when they hear 'Asian'. which isn't to say you can't call them West Asian! just noting that it's not something people will commonly consider as Asian, and that 'West Asia' is a geographical term more than an ethnic term, and that there are more regions of Asia than just the West part, so make sure you've got the place you want.
@chaoticArbiter Thank you for the information! I'm... still not sure what the term to use is. But that's my own fault, lol. I do mean "not what you think when you hear Asian", but idk how to get more specific than that. Oh well.
I think Southeast Asian as well? And that would usually cover Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, etc... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southeast_Asia
Oh man, back when @IvyLB and I were plotting Mafiastuck, we had a list. And long, long discussions that have sadly fallen victim to Skype deleting logs and not saving them locally anymore. Consequently I don't remember half of those. Leijons: Nubian Vantases: (... don't remember #1. Signless is married to Disciple tho, so their kids are half of each) Lalondes & Striders: Irish, iirc. Lalondes might've been French instead?? Peixes (+ Egbert, Crocker, Harley, and English sub-families): Italian Amporas: Greek Makaras: Cuban iirc Nitrams: (don't remember #2) Megidos: Half-Israeli Half-Japanese Captors: (don't remember #3, but I think they were Greek as well.) Maryam: (don't remember #4) Pyrope: (don't remember #5) Serket: (don't remember #6) Zahhak: (don't remember #7) Cherubs: Brits Iiiiives do you remember more??
I THINK we had the vantases as Some Kind Of Indian-From-India but I can't for the life of me remember which specific part or if it was maybe Pakistani instead or what And Yeah Striders being Irish and Lalondes being French sounds right to me, as does Greek Captors (... that sounds like a dubstep act) hm. Did we have the Zahhaks as Egyptian? eta: i think we had the Serkets as Italian too
....so. thought. Davepetasprite^2 was made by combining a twice-prototyped sprite with a sprite that had only been protoyped once. what if you combined something like, say, Fefetasprite with Rosesprite? would that be a ^3 sprite? or just a ^2 sprite? is there a way to get a ^3 sprite, do you think? could you just. take three single-prototyped sprite and have two of them combine and then have the last combine with that. could you just do this with all the sprites you could prototype. ^6 sprite.
new goal for if I ever end up in SBURB somehow: keep prototyping sprites on sprites until the game implodes.
...Fefetasprite WAS dual-prototyped though. With Feferi and Nepeta. So you'd get three personalities mashed together but it'd be a ^2 sprite, since Rosesprite's secondary prototyping would then be Fefeta.
yeah, I kind of figured that out while posting the thing. the reason I thought it might be different initially is Fefeta was two people. Davesprite was a person and a crow, and it took me a few minutes to remember that it's not the combination of people that determines ^2 or ^3 with sprites prototyped together but how many sprites were prototyped into the ^sprite. on the other hand, if you had Feferisprite, and then Nepetasprite, and prototyped them together, and then prototyped Rosesprite with that....
Unrelated to Homestuck but if you're on Windows you can hold ALT and press 0178 to get a ², and ALT+0179 to get a ³.
I now aim to just. prototype sprites on sprites forever. until there is simply One Ultimate Sprite. I should never, ever be allowed to play SBURB, should I somehow be given the chance to do that.
Me neither, for many of the same reasons. I'd mostly just fuck around and annoy whoever I was playing with I can see it playing out like this: friend: nicole, for the love of god there is a meteor heading for my house me, moving a couch: but your room looks so nice now
.....same tbh friend: okay Cedar you need to prototype your sprite, so-- me: I prototyped it friend: .....what did you use me: a kleenex. friend: wHAT me: YOU JUST SAID TO PROTOTYPE IT! YOU DIDN'T SPECIFY AN OBJECT! once in-game friends: okay Cedar we should probably try and work together on thi-- me: I'm gonna go explore my world and then find my quest bed and stab myself. I want God Tier immediately now. bye ......I love this idea
