askerian: Serious Karkat in a red long-sleeved shirt (Sasuke_Oh Fuck)

state of fics -- bolded for your convenience~

Look at me spamming people with random babble. You guys know why? NO ONE IS ONLINE TO SIT ON ME AND MAKE ME WRITE IS WHY.

° One week before the end of the month and I still haven't written any teamwork. One of these days (NOT TODAY) I'mma just gonna make a LJ post and... idk, every time someone comments I have to post them what I wrote since the last comment, or something. Maybe that'll motivate me (or maybe i'll be too busy answering comments to actually write XD)

° On the other hand today I wrote a bit of Lone Wolf and Pilot, the GW thing with bonded telepathic wolves, which is boring as fuck and mostly setup for the INCOMING CLUSTERFUCK bwahaha go killer go, but still, I have two complete scenes before that and maybe I could post them here or something. I remember when I used to spam you guys with all my scenes fresh from my bleeding and battered fingers. Maybe I should get back to that. >__>

° I also worked a lot on an illustration for the fic! I... pretty much traced an official pic of heero and duo and then added wolves in it. *cackles* I'm really not taking it as ~art~, it's more like an edit, but wow my fingers. Also I wish I knew how to make fake screencaps because it'd look really fun if I could copy the anime style, but every time I've tried to learn I was just... yawn lasso tool oh hey a butterfly, and the skill stayed unlearned.

I also started a pic with Heero and Duo and their merlin and crow daemons for that OTHER alternate universe with GW people having speshul soul pets. Self, what are you trying to tell me here... oh right! i should totes be illustrating the Gundams as Dragons verse. Yup, that must be it. Augh, illustration ADD. I think I just want Gboys and ANIMALS. >_>;

° In Homestuck news I'm a bit scared of the popularity of that Big Robots AU to be honest. XD; I was only planning to do their meeting at first, a sort of This One Gundam Episode Where Two Enemies Are Stuck On An Island At Night trope, and then the bunnies wanted to know what next and now, crap, I have to figure out more badass stuff to shove in that plot (AN ACTUAL STRUCTURED PLOT WOULD ALSO BE NICE), but so far I mostly have random telepathic shenanigans and Gamzee being terrifying and also John and Karkay using contrived nanomachines-related excuses to suck face. Which is always fun, I admit, but hmm. And now a ton of people like it, and they're all "i can't wait to see where you're going!!!" and uh okay, self, it's cool, most of your fics are done with that seat of the pants approach to storytelling ANYWAY! *makes self breathe*

° Re: Back to the Garden, so far I have two scenes. One of them is ten FIFTEEN pages of Karkat Is Nosy And A Mother Hen And Pale For Everyone Ever, and the other one is about eight of Gamzee Is So In Pity With Tav And Karkat Awwsocute And Also A Really Creepy Motherfucker. No trace of action or politics or adventures, apart from some silly forest wanderings.

So i'm like "That's a lot of pages! I should post them as a preview!" and then I'm like "that's a lot of pages where NOTHING HAPPENS BUT LOTS OF TALK" and the next scenes are going to be actionny and reveal more plot stuff so I'm thinking if I want the chapter to feel balanced I should just wait to have the complete thing or else chapter 2A will feel REALLY slowboring...?????

but aaaaaaaaaaawannapostsomething. ;^;

° wanna post somethiing

° but nothing is complete why

° because i haven't completed anything is why aaaaa

° aaaAAaAAAAAAAaaaaa

° and in conclusion, aaaaaaaa.

It's sad but true. XD

And the fef/ara/sol thing too and how Nepeta is and then the paint thing and how karkat really cannot bring himself to hate her and then how he fits so well with gamzee and his worries about pale infedelity and the subtle refernces to self-hate and and and and John-Vriska stuff and also how Vriska - Vriskers ahaha I like that pun, and and all the age difference stuff!

And how even the characters who get the very very barest mention are still characterised!

And oh god junk in the trunk bwahahahahsnort.

And OH HELL NO CRAZY SHIPPING GIRL that makes me laugh too!

And and there are so many little DETAILS!

There is only one thing worse than Eridan<}-Vriska and that is them IN CAHOOTS.

And then she -OH HI KARKAT

- The only difference between the two is that you will regret the second

You are indeed growling - fancy that!

A TATTOO ON HIS FACE because he's so passive aggressive about it he shouldn't be pale on everyone okay and you take your mocking right backk

And
adna

aaaaaah I can babble forever about how much I love your writing.

Seriously I have so much to say about this, most of it babbling about awesomeness. I may also have reread this about five times already. Ssh.

I love Karkat's observations to human culture. A lot of the time you get the vibe of humans are weird non-trolls but not that different but the way you write it makes the notice that actually WOAH HUMANS ARE WEEEEIRD.

And and Karkat replies to Nepeta in the same way. And even though this is a small thing it makes me all mushy because just. Yeah.

Something else they changed.
It's definitely Alternia but...

THIS. THIS TOO.


And and how Karkat is all; Oh. Oh they're terrified. (PALE INSTINCTS GO!) ...I CAN USE THIS! (No they're douchebags. I will take advantage of this non-douchebaggery.)

(dammit so small and scared. >A>)

Also the jade debutante oh oh oh hohohoho! I really like that!

And how Karkat is pale for everyone but NOBODY MUST BE PALE BACK EXCEPT GAMZEE.

And and fighter jet returning to the mothership.

And Karkat is such a sappy romance novel reader.

Yup. Other assholes can sort themselves out.

(For a bit. Then I go back to being mother hen.)
