I finally finished it! If you are interested in absurdist theater or
Homestuck, or both, you should check out this short film I made of one of my favorite Homestuck fics. Enjoy!
-The actual construction of a miniature Damien Hirst horse-slices-in-lucite knockoff
-Dirk 1 dunking Dirk 4 out of the frame with his weird rigid puppet arm
-The Dirks taking it in turn to be Background Dirk and pointing out details of the set dressing like they were Barker’s Beauties on The Price Is Right
-The faint outline of “IT KEEPS HAPPENING” printed on the stairs
-Chair Hat
-The incredible plastic smugness of Andrew Hussie
-The fire from the fireplace floating untroubled out of the frame on the rising flood
-The fact that this exists at all
I am speechless. I am speechless
It’s a fan project, of a fic, with amazing production values, and also calculatedly bad production values. The fic itself is an unmitigated torrent of ludicrous dialogue between four of the same person, except when it’s interrupted by an unmitigated torrent of even more ridiculous events. Horses are involved. People die.
I’m not sure it’s possible for a more Homestuck thing to exist.
homestuck was worth it for this to come into existence
I realize that people make human AU Pearl young and stuff b/c it’s more relatable but please consider with me that human Pearl would be the weird ex-military neighbor who wakes up at 5 am every morning and calls the cops if the recycling truck leaves the bin in front of her mailbox and keeps to herself a lot and breaks out a leaf blower half the size of her body to sweep 6 maple seedpods of her front sidewalk. She’s got Rose’s flag hanging on one of those brackets on the porch. Every week or so her son comes over for dinner and promises the neighbor kids that his mom’s super nice if you get to know her she just likes everything just so and meanwhile she’s leaning out the screen door like “steven move the bin out of the way of the mailbox” “okay” “that’s a federal offense you know” “i know you tell me every time i’m here”
There’s 6 cars up on blocks in the backyard and every spring she trims the lilac hedges with a sword
As I threatened to, I have drawn a 4D horse. A hyperhorse, if you will.
When it runs, its hooves appear to flicker in and out of existence, each retaining the same tensile strength of a regular horse hoof attached to a regular horse leg, no matter how thin or small they are. In the hyperhorse’s vast and unknowable eyes, our bodies are like a sheet of paper, trapped within a single measly slice of 4D space like a specimen on a microscope slide.
if i had to choose between death and reading homestuck then i would probably just read the damn webcomic but i definitely wouldn’t be very happy about it
have you considered i dont want fucking homestuck to be the reason i die. did you think about that
[EXTREMELY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER]
ACTUALLY YOU KNOW WHAT. IM PUTTING EVERYTHING ON THE LINE HERE
IF THIS POST GETS TO 10K BEFORE THE NEXT APRIL 13TH, I WILL READ HOMESTUCK.
I love to use my disability “as an excuse.” Fuck yeah my disability is an excuse. It’s the most valid excuse I have. I’m not helping you lift that box/etc because my disability would make it fucking painful. Not wanting to be in pain is a good enough reason. I’m not going to put myself in pain to comfort your sensibilities.
Yes I’m using my disability as an excuse because I refuse to hurt myself for you. If you’re mad about it you can cry! ❤️
Happy disability pride month.
In honor of my chronic pain flareup that I could’ve avoided by asking my wife for help here’s your reminder to say no to stuff when it is safe to do so!!Ask for help!!
This month practice saying “I can’t do that. It would hurt me.” or “can I have help with (x)?” Start with a friend or family member who you feel comfortable asserting your boundaries with and keep saying no.
