i think you'd still get interest, but i dunno about the second thing. you might try asking him, although i have NO idea how you'd get a hold of him or if he'd even see it in the midst of a sea of other things.
WhatPumpkin has been notoriously terrible at responding about third-party merchandise since about 2012. On one notable occasion, someone (if any of you remember the Pesterchum app, yeah, that guy) emailed them asking if they could start a Kickstarter for their fanproject, didn't get a response for several months, and decided that forgiveness was easier than permission. They received a response half an hour after the Kickstarter went live. This response was a takedown notice. So I really don't trust them to be okay with things, but I also don't trust them to give permission, which leaves you in a shitty position.
All I want is for Fedorafreak to be alright. I want him to win the game and make his own universe of snazzy dressers. Hussie please give me this
Does anyone know if there's a different way to contact Hussie? EDIT: Seems the primary merchandise point is now WeLoveFine. Does anyone know if they're open to letting creators join or if it's just for specific people?
ok I remember now. THIS is the page where I fell in love with Homestuck. http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003548
Dave Strider: Multiversal Champion of "Losing Your Shit So Quietly People Don't Realise You've Done An Acrobatic Pirouette Off The Gogdamn Handle Until It's Too Late" Since Birth
I remember the 'under attack by planet fucking jupiter' monologue making me totally lose my shit and being the moment in which I knew Dave Strider was The Shit, but the fucking bird was a compelling argument too.
a lot of people feel like the Vriska Retcon was too quick and easy as a solution to the elaborately developed problems of the Game Over timeline. This gave me a fic idea about Terezi giving John a more extensive to-do list -- say, stopping in on the meteor every month or so to check in on everyone. It'd focus on the character interactions in the retcon timeline more closely, not just John and the Veilstuck kids but also how his intermittent presence and Vriska's return affected everybody. (I don't remember canon well enough to know if this would work, but bear with me.) Like being haunted by a very friendly and enigmatic blue ghost(yTrickster), who is also sad because he remembers everyone dying and now they're kids again. And Terezi the Seer of Mind is trying very hard to work out what his angle is because he's rewriting the alpha timeline (which makes her abilities unreliable around him) on instructions, apparently, from her dead future self. Which made me think about the hints at Terezi<3<John in the later parts of Act 6, and how that'd interact with Terezi<3<Gamzee and Terezi<3</<>/WTFVriska. Then I thought: The girl he "wanted in every quadrant like a desperate fool" is infuriated by his first and most fervent spadecrush (who is now a grown up and mysterious 16 years old), and their escalating investigative campaign/prank war with the fate of the alpha timeline at stake looks from the outside like an epic hateflirtation. Karkat Vantas would have the weirdest boner.
Amusing accomplishment: explaining quadrants to non-homestuck friend to explain ships for an unrelated series bc "i see diamonds in that, not hearts" came out before i remembered he was not a hamsteak. Success point was that he immediately said "I never started Homestuck, but those actually make a lot of sense. Even to me. Why aren't those in other things?"
If reacting to video games with "jesus christ this guy needs a moirail. ... and also probably an auspistice" is wrong, I don't want to be right.
I also had to explain the difference between "this is the literal interpretation for canon, but fanon has extended it a lil bit. but these are the solid boundaries where it'd be unhealthy in either case" and he seemed to understand too. Seemed v interested in spades, especially where it approaches the unhealthy side, because of that feeling of "ya'll are good at being awful together, let the hate makeouts begin" paired with "you're fucking explosive, there needs to be a third person involved to make sure you don't actually fucking kill each other plz."
Christ, I just got that little tight-chest-fluttering-heart feeling thinking about the fucking ashen quadrant of all things. Thanks, Hussie.
>:Dc Which formation involving ashen made your heart flutter? Like, which characters? :curiouscurious:
