Wow, it's been a while, huh? A couple quiet months... but hey, that doesn't mean this place is dead yet!

This MEME MONDAY, let's talk quadrants!


  • Which quadrant is your favorite to write, if any? Your least favorite?

  • Which quadrant do you like to read the most? The least?

  • Which quadrant do you wish was explored more, either in canon or in fanworks?

  • How about mixed-quadrant relationships? Any fantrolls with those, or scenarios you like to read or write about?

Hi there everyone! Who here got to see the eclipse last night? Super cool, right? Anyway... since the conversation in WORLDBUILDING WEDNESDAY has died down, it looks like it's time for another post!

This MEME MONDAY, tell us how you come up with your fantrolls. Everyone's got their own creative process, it seems, so it's fun to learn how other people's minds work!

Here are some questions, if you're not sure where to start:

  • What inspires you to create your trolls?

  • How do you come up with symbols?

  • Do you think up trolls individually, or picture them more as parts of a world and/or group?

  • Do you usually have stories for your trolls when you create them?

I EMERGE

It's Wednesday, and that means at long last there will be a WORLDBUILDING WEDNESDAY! Happy 2019, everyone!


Here's a question to start things off: what aspect of Alternia's (or Beforus's) worldbuilding do you wish had been explored more in Homestuck proper? Alternately, is there any aspect of the worldbuilding where you prefer to ignore canon in favor of your own interpretation?

I hope there's still some life in this place. It's been less than two weeks, after all. (I am probably just unused to Dreamwidth's slower pace, sorry.)

Have fun!

It's Friday! And that means shenanigans. Here is what will hopefully be our second meme day!

People are fully welcome to post details about their characters outside of these, of course! These are just to encourage conversation and help people open up and discuss their characters. :)

For this [INSERT CATCHY ALLITERATION HERE] FRIDAY, why not try doing some fanworks of each other's trolls? Art, writing, music - anything is welcome. It doesn't have to be anything big, either - a scribbly sketch or a couple of sentences is plenty!

If you're looking for fantrolls to use, check the "trollcall" tag! That's where all the fantroll posts are.

(oh gog oh gog i hope this is okay)

Doodled some miscellaneous fantrolls here, including Tuzuki and Kaoboe. Masterposts for trolls may be put together soon as well. :)

I just realised I forgot to ever do an intro with my characters, oops!

Here are my main seven trolls. I roleplay them a lot over on tumblr and on Discord - Pheres, Sipara and Riccin are four years old, ID is three, and Melete/Hap/Kua are all new guys, because my RP servers have started moving more towards SPAAACE as of late, haha.

Alright, guys, it's Monday, the start of a new week. Hopefully everyone's enjoying the winter season so far, and hasn't been getting too much snow (or too much sun, for those in the southern hemispheres)! To brighten up the Monday blues, here's what'll hopefully be the first of many themed discussion days.

People are, ofc, fully welcome to post details about their characters outside of these! These are just to encourage conversation and help people open up on discussing their characters. :)

For our FIRST MEME MONDAY, tell us about your character's fears and desires! Feel free to do several characters, or to do just one - it's up to you. :] Similarly, feel free to answer whichever of the questions you prefer, or all of them.

  • What's their biggest fear? Is there anything that makes them scared? Why? And if not, what inspires their bravery?
  • What's their greatest desire? Do they have a goal in life, or are they just drifting along? If so, what motivates them in either case?
  • And on a player-level: what are your favorite motivations for characters? Are there certain goals that you love reading about - self-serving ambition, trolls that live for their quadrants, etc, etc? Are there any fears that you love to write?

I... uh. Don't know what I'm doing, but I guess here's a fantroll.

A picture of a homestuck fantroll. They have mismatched horns, a jade moon symbol, and wield a lamp as a weapon.

I don't know what this kid's name is. She's a jadeblood, and also a scrappy weirdo who somehow got herself in a lotta trouble.

I'm not clear what she did yet, but she's some kinda fugitive. She fights with improvised weapons (like a lamp), and often finds a cover by taking on small jobs (hence the professional-ish attire), claiming to be a teal or olive under a fake sign to avoid the attention that comes from being an out of place jade. (At least, when she isn't outright stealing things and running by daylight. But she likes the stability.) That is her actual sign in the image, though.

I've posted the last of my existing fantrolls, at least for the time being. I've got some stuff with them in my WIPS folder though, so expect to see more of them after finals!

Fantroll posting hours are all hours if you're brave enough.

A fanmade Homestuck character

This is my main fantroll for now, I haven't really drawn any for a while besides her.

and by we I mostly mean me.
Getting to the "Upload all my fantrolls in thematically appropriate batches" part of my Great Tumblr Art Migration. Have a poke at my "fantrolls" tag if you like, "scarlet's scribbles" for my other art and "scarlet's ocs" for my non-hs related characters

There was a brief fad on tumblr with mocking up your characters as Friendsim routes! I've been enjoying the games a lot (occasionally odd lore issues aside), and I wanted to do one.. but I also like writing a fucking lot, so it ended up spiralling aggressively into "just coding in a character route for fun." So! Here's one that I've been slowly working on, for Riccin Kayata, one of my OC's, an incredibly tl;dr clown.

Here are their sprites so far! Part of this, as seen from the video, is remembering how to actually secure things in place on Ren'Py, so they'll stop bouncing every switch. x)

Howdy, and welcome to OUTGLUT, a community for fantrolls!

As stated in the profile, this is for all stripes of fantrolls - Earth C, SGrub-players, Friendsims, fanadventures, whatever.

If folks start migrating over to Dreamwidth, I'll start putting up weekly posts three times a week with a topic to help discussions start. In the meanwhile - likely, Meme Monday, Worldbuilding Wednesday and [insert catchy alliteration here] Friday.

In the meanwhile, feel free to introduce yourselves in the comments!
