Here's a little welcome-back gift for if you ever (hopefully) check out DA again!

Okay, so recall the Terror of Trigon plotline from the Wolfman/Perez comics. Y'know how Raven started wearing her hood full-time a few weeks before everything hits the fan? Well, this artist had an interpretation of what she looked like while she was wearing her cowl constantly.

It's creepy. You'll love it!

AAACK I LOVE YOUR HOMESTUCK COMICS! Especially the one where Vriska was manipulating Tavros into gettin' some with Eridan I don't know how, but when you draw a shipping it feels so emotional!

How's life been?

Me, I'll be pretty busy until May - four classes, plus working at least twelve hours a week. Thankfully I had the foresight to make certain I'm not working Saturday, so least I'll have that day off.

How about you? Have you been enjoying your post-college life?

It's weird how I can still be so busy even after school's over. I've been updating my site and resume and such; I even got business cards printed! Haha, I just want to roll over and sleep for a while. I think tomorrow I will just take a break and play a video game before I start on commission stuff.

Good luck with school! The hard work should be worth it.

Hi! That is wonderful, and I hope you're enjoying your break! I am actually graduating this Saturday, so there's a lot going on. You're invited to be there in spirit, of course, haha. It's going to be a crazy weekend, followed immediately by Christmas. XD Eventually I'll get to sleep.

Uuugh, why you gotta remind me I'm old.

After you get some sleep, be sure to tell me all about it! (Also, if you decide to try that 'tape-your-gameboy-to-your-arm-to-play-during-graduation' trick again. )

Oh, awesome! We finished our Orpheus campaign a few years back, and it was just the most epic thing any of us had ever played. We've not been able to reproduce its success yet.

I hope your game ends up just as amazing! Best of luck.

My original thought was he was more of a Troll Buddha - I was even contemplating giving him some sort of Hindu/Buddhist first name - but Troll Jegus works too!

Still can't wait to see how the rest of my headcanon will be debunked, though!

(My running theory is that the Aradia in green is actually Aradia's ancestor from the reset troll session. It's just a stray thought, though. Shrug!)

Sabatuar In reply to invalidgriffin [2011-08-16 05:45:42 +0000 UTC]

You were right. She is. Hopefully though you'll continue the headcanon as an AU or Doomed Timeline. A lot of us love it. -tries for her best puppy eyes-

invalidgriffin In reply to Sabatuar [2011-08-16 07:55:22 +0000 UTC]

That was the most epic debunking I could've asked for. Handmaid is so cool.

But yes, I will definitely be continuing the headcanon as an AU. It was pretty much speculation from the beginning, and now it can be retroactive speculation: if Aradiacestor had grown up at the start of the Sufferer's rebellion instead of under the care of Doc Scratch.

ZeNumbers [2011-07-03 18:20:39 +0000 UTC]

Griffin - You're art is stunning. While I absolutely adore your Aradiacestor/Darkleer stuff - your other stuff is gorgeous too. Aradiacestor/Darkleer is seriously my OTP, all from that one poignant line in Homestuck itself - and further inflamed by your gorgeous art.

It's strange how much emotional attachment can be born from just a few images - but you mellow and stir the soul, especially with that first picture you did of them and the frog temple things. I love your humour, too - it really adds to it.

I roleplay Darkleer with an Aradiacestor of my own, and it's funny how the more we attempt to expand on their relationship the more and more we seem to comply with your headcanon. I love their dynamic, it's twisted, it's creepy, it's dark and yet it is undoubtedly beautiful.

Anyway, in short - thank you Griffin, for your beautiful art and your creativity. Keep drawing, and do whatever you want to do - because it will be beautiful regardless. <3

invalidgriffin In reply to ZeNumbers [2011-07-05 04:57:35 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much for this beautiful comment. My heart is all a-flutter.

I like this pairing in particular because of how hard they have to struggle just to understand one another. It gives way to a lot of funny situations, and to a lot of really inherently sad themes, and I really love that it can shift mood on a dime. Something humorous and sweet could turn suddenly dark, and vice versa, and I love working with those contrasts. Their struggle gives the happier moments they have together a twisted, ephemeral sort of beauty.

But I think you already know that! Thank you again.

So, re: that post you made about tolls and times and sadart.

WHY AM I CRYING THIS IS SO DUMB
EQUIUS IS MY LEAST FAVOURITE CHARACTER

BUT
ALL MY DARKLEER HEADCANON IS CONSTRUCTED FROM YOUR ART

I thought the sad text was enough. It could have ended there. Not a tear would have been shed.
But ohgog Frog Temple was lovely and lonely and the figures were so tiny against it. The consequences of time led to its construction, but (ironically?) it would defy time and live long after its creator died.

DEAR INVALID GRIFFIN
STOP MAKING BEAUTIFUL STUFF THAT MAKES ME TALK IN CONSTANT CAPSLOCK AND CRY OVER EXTRA-FICTIONAL CHARACTERS

invalidgriffin In reply to the-zilla [2011-07-01 03:47:58 +0000 UTC]

OH MAN, thank you!

I keep thinking, eventually Hussie's going to go back to ancestors and expand on Darkleer and the rest, and completely debunk everything I have cobbled together. And the one who is going to cry is not me. It will be all the people who've sculpted their headcanon around mine. I feel a little like the Pied Piper leading the all the village kids into the river. XD

That is a beautiful interpretation, and everything I wanted it to be. Thank you.
