Chapter 7 is up of Cum mortuis in lingua mortua!
It’s a short chapter, but there will hopefully be another short chapter following it within the next 2 days.
You can also start at the beginning here.
Why work on an elaborate fantasy au fanfiction when I can just draw self-indulgent fanart of said elaborate fantasy au fanfiction?
Found a playlist in the bowels of my laptop, put it on 8tracks, and slapped a pic from 2012 on it to complement the era from which this originated. Track list + commentary under the cut.
Never Forget You - Noisettes
This one called me back, back to a time when I cared about Homestuck canon, back when I cared about Jadekat in the work known as MSPA. TL;DR it made me retroactively sad. Fuck, we’re off to a great start.
Printemps - Coeur de Pirate
I have an obscene amount of French music and I’m sorry. This one’s about NEVER GETTING TOGETHER WITH SOMEONE BECAUSE YOU MISSED YOUR FUCKING OPPORTUNITY.
Pogo - Digitalism
I have no idea why this one’s on here and I’m too lazy to look up the lyrics.
Argh… I’m a Pirate - Zolof the Rock and Roll Destroyer
This song is about fucking and it’s awesome
Meat & Potatoes - Belle and Sebastian
This song is about fucking and it’s terrifying. If you don’t think Karkat Vantas would have an allergic reaction to kinky whipped cream, you’re dead wrong.
She Wolf - Shakira
Did you really expect this not to be on here?
Romeo & Juliet - Reefer Madness
Okay, I really don’t remember my reasoning to put this on here (besides the fact they’re both complete dorks and Karkat does, in fact, have a big vocabulary which is customary when you fall in love) but every single one of you need to watch Reefer Madness the Movie Musical immediately. Nothing you are doing right now could be more important than watching Reefer Madness the Movie Musical. There is literally a scene where Jesus descends from Heaven and sings a song about not smoking pot.
Taken for a Fool - The Strokes
This song is fucking rad.
Flamme a lunettes - Dionysos
This song is about having hot, violent sex on a hill. Or falling in love or something? And it’s also part of a fairytale-esque concept album? I’m really not clear on this one.
Neutron Star Collision - Muse
Just imagine Karkat singing along to the Troll Twilight soundtrack while sobbing about how he’s Jacob and Dave is Edward.
Bones - The Killers
Also, really don’t remember why the fuck this is on here.
Chiisana koi no uta (sorry no Japanese keyboard installed on my current OS) - Mongol 800
This is just like I’M YELLING REALLY LOUD TO GET MY MESSAGE OF LOVE TO YOU, BOO, EVEN THOUGH YOU’RE ON A FUCKING ISLAND. thanks!!!!!
Crayola Doesn’t Make a Color for Your Eyes - Kristin Andreassen
If you don’t think this is the cutest fucking song then you need to get out of my house. Get out of my house anyway, actually, why are you even in here.
Quelqu'un ma dit - Carla Bruni
This is the saddest fucking song. Here’s some lyrics from it:
“He loves you, it’s secret, don’t tell him I told you.”
You see, someone told me
That you still loved me
Did someone really tell me?
That you still loved me
Well, could that be possible?
GOD, FUCK, after three years, Karkat. THREE YEARS and you still love her. Man this is the best Jadekat song on this fst, everyone get out. Ex-prime minister of France’s wife, you win the Jadekat award for best song.
