Image 1 — How many times a character has been in a thumbnail in the ALL EPISODES playlist? (as of BFDIA 25 and TPOT 22), I counted them and put these together.

How many times a character has been in a thumbnail in the ALL EPISODES playlist? (as of BFDIA 25 and TPOT 22), I counted them and put these together.

So, last night, half out of sheer boredom, half out of actually being curious, I decided to take it upon myself to count every time a character has shown up in the the current thumbnail of an episode. I know some people have done this before, and I could probably find this stuff on the wiki, but I wanted to do this myself, sorry if I counted something wrong though hopefully I didn't. I have separated them per season and then a total at the end. I put all of these into a text document and then put them in the tier list, summed up the results

This includes every mainline episode, as well as BFDI is Back, Paper Towel, and Plan Dissolve Adhesive. I didn't include IDFB in here but I did add them to the total (it's just Pencil, Ice Cube and Book).

Shorts like Ballers, BFDI is Snack and Kebab's Special Day were skipped over because they're not in the playlist. Also, I forgot to count bugs on the S1 tier list and I counted the BFDIE Fish Monster as a different one from the green one.

I wish I could show you the document I made with all the data I got from this as they are more complete but I'll settle with this for now, the last template doesn't have certain characters but they were counted in the totals, trust me.

The characters that were in thumbnails but not in the tier list due to not being in the template I used are Bowling Pin, Glue, Fourse and Toothpaste Speaker Box.

Also I didn't feel like including literally every single character in the 0s. The other Algebraliens, the 5b trio and the other Post-Split RCs also don't have thumbnails.

I also didn't count the few times where it was just a bunch of limbs and we can't tell exactly who it is like BFB 15 or TPOT 19 I want to know what you guys feel about these. For example what do you think about Bubble not being in any thumbnail since S1? Or Firey and Book having the same total ammount? Or how Rocky seems to only get one thumbnail per season. Lemme know your thoughts below.

Some art I made on an art site last month for this year's 4/13! Thought I'd share it here too.

Edit: (OC) forgot to put it in the title oops

So, for some context and clarifications: these were done in a (pretty obscure) website where you draw and share your drawings, but that's besides the point. I made these under the limitations of the website, which only has this brush to work with which is like pixellated a bit, and I made these with just a mouse. I made this specifically to celebrate Homestuck day, as it was my first time being part of the fandom for it (this was mere weeks before I finished reading). It was also my first time drawing any of these characters besides little doodles so I didn't have much practice yet (I've gotten way better at drawing John's hair for instance). But I still think they've got their charm to it.

Also, despite being near the end of ACT 6 when I made these, I kept them all pretty vanilla early act style, because the audience I was posting this to was largely unfamiliar, and I wanted to avoid big spoilers (Karkat and Terezi don't count, everyone knows what trolls are).

Drawings in order are the dude John Egbert himself with his dinky little ACT 1 hammer and the first page narration (added for extra context).

After that is the rest of the Beta kids, all three in one panel to save on space (I only had 10 to work with and I didn't want to do that many), Jade's shirt has the Bec symbol since the png I saved for referenced had that instead of the neutron symbol, Dave's shirt disc not broken, Rose I remember struggling a bit to draw at first because of her perfectly round hair

Third is Karkat, the horns look a little weird I know (for the record there's not really layers on the site I used). Also, I drew him with a turtleneck cause idk, I kinda gave John one too, but his is bigger and baggier because parallels or something.

Fourth is Terezi, which I will admit is only really here because I really really like her character and I wanted a clean five characters. Shrug seemed fitting.

Fifth is probably the worst looking one, but it's a very shitty Spades Slick. Yeah I'll be real I didn't really do him justice, but I did like doing the white shading on him. Though, the hat is way smaller than it should be, and I really messed up the suit. The real filler guy for the post, but hey I liked Spades Slick he's cool in that huge asshole kinda way...?

Yeah anyway jeez do I ramble, just look at my art and ignore all this. Yapper central over here. Just thought I'd share. :)

I have come to the realization that in their respective Brazilian Portuguese dubs, these two share the same voice actor.

They are both voiced by César Marchetti. Do whatever with this information, I just thought it was kinda funny.

How different would BFB be if you replace the APPISIOTE trio with the 5b trio?

Basically, what if instead of Foldy, Stapy and Liy, we got Lego Brick, Tune and Waffle?

For the sake of simplicity, we'll keep the teams the same. I know for example Marker only joined Free Food because of his friends and Liy was one of the people that kickstarted Death P.A.C.T, but for this hypothetical I just want to look at the basic thing where they just switch places 1-to-1.

I also decided Lego Brick should be the one to be on Death P.A.C.T, as one of the few things we know about him is that he's afraid of dying, so it would make sense he'd be for preventing death. Plus, Waffle and Tune are seen together often, so it would especially make sense if they were on the same team. Now with that explained, I'm curious as to how this would change things in BFB or even TPOT.

For one, I don't really see Waffle cheating on that quiz like Stapy did, so that would change some things too. Also since we don't really know them too well, I'm not sure how well Lego Brick would do on the Death P.A.C.T elimination if he would get out or if it would be Pie. I do also wonder how Tune would contribute, since if I remember correctly they're alot like TD where they don't talk, but they're like too focused on listening to the music or whatever to help out much? That could put a target on her back if Free Food loses which is a shame as I really like Tune.

Anyway, those are some of my thoughts, what do y'all think?

Sorta Like Him (Kingdom Hearts Edit)

Song is Like Him by Tyler the Creator

Nothing too flashy, but I'm pretty proud of how it turned out, since it was my first real attempt at this.

(OC) MS Paint art I made for an II camp

And yes, I did pick Magic-8 of all characters. This is my first time doing something like this, so it doesn't exactly look the best (i'd say that's part of the charm and the vibe I was going for, but also Paint is often underestimated and I've gotten pretty decent at it). Was part of a nightmare sequence. Also meant to be kind of a joke, if that wasn't clear.

u/ParticularWeak4543 — 10 days ago

Hopefully Reddit doesn't destroy the quality on this. Actually made on MS Paint, yeah. My first time really sharing my art here so hopefully looks decent enough lol. They are the best of buds, Karkat is probably just screaming at someone off screen in the gray void of perpetual anguish. Took me I wanna say 10-20 minutes? plus I had to search for a panel with John for the right colors. The wind symbol on John's shirt was a pain to draw right enough lol, this is also like, the second ever time I draw these characters

So for context, right now in the story I'm at the Aether Paradise raid, and I just finished the fight with Guzma there before meeting Lusamine again. During this fight he used a Vikavolt and I was like "well wait surely mine could've evolved by now". For the record I already knew Charjabug didn't evolve traditionally through level up and was one of those where you had to be in specific places. So I decided to look up which places the evolution worked in and apparently specifically in USUM it can evolve at a place called Blush Mountain, which is a place I completely skipped over when I went to that route originally and that I probably could've went to way earlier (though even then, It probably wouldn't have clicked to give my Charjabug a random Rare Candy in this place, though I guess there was also this one guy there that could've evolved it if I fought him too and if I was too close to evolving, though I skipped him as I wanted to get it done with already). This is an important moment for me as Grubbin was my second ever Pokémon I caught on this playthrough and I knew I wanted a Vikavolt since the start since they're cool and I know they're pretty dang strong (or atleast fairly decent in the grand scheme of things idk). So yeah, that's my story. I wonder if anyone else evolved their Charjabug way later than they could have lol

Fair word of warning this will mostly be ramblings as I just need to put these thought out there somewhere and I apologize if this lacks structure, plus it's like midnight when I'm writing this so... Also, as of right now I have just finished watching the Credits video and haven't explored further into Hiveswap or The Epilogues or Beyond Canon or whatever else so yeah. So when I say "avoided" I mostly mean I was never really interested in it before and was driven away by all the horror stories I bet y'all are tired of hearing about, but I decided to finally give it a fair shot with the announcement of the Animated Pilot, thinking that when the show eventually comes, that I would know what was going on and the plot beats I'd recognize. So yeah uh, this took six months on and off lol I mean I knew it was big, obviously, but damn man that's nearly half a year! Like I saw an old comment from six months ago where I said I was still on ACT 2 and I barely remember anything from back then! Okay where was I oh yeah so a lot of the early stuff is a blur to me with me remembering most of the big moments really well I really wonder like, do people actually read this multiple times and have everything memorized by now? Anyway there is no possible way for me to go in order of things that happened, just know that I basically love all the main characters, they're my babies that must live forever. So uh yeah here's my top 10 characters, they change constantly though the top few have stayed pretty consistent (don't take it too seriously):

  1. John

  2. Dave

  3. Terezi

  4. Karkat

  5. Jade

  6. Rose

  7. Roxy

  8. Dirk

  9. Calliope

  10. Kanaya

(Honorable mention to Nepeta who I really wish didn't die, so sad. Super special honorable mention to my man, The Mayor. Also mega dishonorable mention to idk what you guys call him, that Jack with Lord English powers, I call him Jack English or just third Jack, he's the lamest one sorry not sorry)

Okay so I gotta say btw, one thing Homestuck excelled at was making me care for characters I didn't think I would've. Like I probably wouldn't have cared nearly as much for the trolls if we didn't spend all that time getting to know them when they showed their session. Like I remember thinking at the start that I just wanted to go back to the main characters (I only got back to them at the start of the year lol), but I see now how important all that really was. Terezi especially really grew on me after a rocky start (as you can see by my ranking), I didn't expect to like her so much, especially since at the start I gave her a really scratchy and raspy voice in my mind, which I sorta ended up keeping, I thank my throat every day for not reading all that out loud she spoke way more than I thought she would. Speaking of unfitting voices, I gave Eridan this stupid vampire voice and accent, which ended up maybe not being a good idea when he ended up betraying his team... Flawless transition into my next topic: that whole sequence of everything going to shit with the trolls was one of the highlights for sure, even if they killed my favorite characters and Equius (half joking don't kill me), that was also when Gamzee was at his most menacing imo.

Uhh yeah I don't want this to drag on too much (even though it is), sorry for yapping too much but you've read Homestuck too so you're probably used to reading walls of text. In summary, what I've read of Homestuck was really damn good. Here's some random rapid fire bullet points ot whatever they're called for stuff I couldn't quite fit in.

• Caliborn shooting Gamzee was really funny (yeah I just had to put this at the top)

• I didn't mention them in my Top 10 but Jane and Jake are really cool too, especially awesome seeing another version of Nanna, even though they felt like different characters by the end (that's a good thing)

• I liked when it didn't take itself too seriously, but it only made the actual serious and tragic stuff hit harder

• Roxy was lowkey the hidden MVP of her group which was awesome and unexpected

• John reuniting with his dad at the end which for his dad was his grandfather actually make me almost tear up, cause Jack killing him at first got me real sad too, yeah.

• Doc Scratch was such a cool character man I didn't give him enough credit

• Actually hearing the Homestuck version of MeGaLoVania with proper context after all these years was sick btw

• I'd have to look back at what my favorite Flash is, but Cascade and Collide are def up there, obviously.

• The Terezi password stuff was the coolest shit I've ever seen be done in any story like this, I was sitting there for ages wondering "hmm I wonder when this will come into play" and when they all happened almost back to back it was crazy man

• I don't know what the common consensus is, but I had fun unnoficial ways I called certain characters, like I made sure to distinguish Dad Egbert with Father Crocker, then there was Mom Lalonde, Bro Strider and Grandpa Harley for their Pre-Scratch selves (which I believe people actually say if not their actual names though I'm not sure

• Spades Slick was a really cool character man I don't care if he was just an asshole for the sake of it, he's way better than the other Jackseses in my opinion

• I like comic Dave and pilot Dave for different reasons but god do I hope they tweak his personality in the show proper cause that's not him

• I watched the whole Trickster mode sequence at like 2 AM and it really hurt my eyes because it was two in the fucking morning and my lights were off I have no one to blame but myself yes but fun fact I guess

• I'm like really confused what ended up happening to Lord English, though I assume that was kind of the point (DON'T SPOIL ME IF SOMETHING EXPLAINS THIS FURTHER)

• Near the start I used to ship Johnkat, that's all I got to say on that

• On that note, surprisingly pretty progressive from a thing from late 2000s to early 2010s... once you get past the slurs but it was a different time man

• So my dad went on another one of his baking trips so the house is full of fuckin' cakes again

• I have very mixed feelings on Vriska as a character that I refuse to elaborate about. I just have to mention her name atleast once in case anyone asks

• Okay that's it, bye Homestuck, I'll see you around! God it's like 1 AM now why do I do this shit to myself man this was such a mess to write
