it’s the best planting and payoff in the whole fic. because a. i guarantee none of you thought it was planting and b. it was so inane none of you are going to remember it.

Chapter 21 of Vanitas vanitatum is up!

(start with chapter 1 here)

YOU HAVE KILLED ME SITH YOUR AMAZING FORESHADOWING AND PLOTTING SKILLS(but really you are one of- no, are my favorite author, homestuck and in general. I loved the underworld series -Rose and Johns stories were flawless and amazing. You took two of my passions, homestuck and mythology, and created a unique, funny and emotional journey. The catacombs series is one of the best fanfics I have ever read and seeing your skill as a writer flourish has been and honor and pleasure. You inspire me.)

wow! thanks so much! i’m always hyped people still, in this current day, enjoy the underworld series. because like you said, i’ve really grown as a writer since then! it’s sometimes kind of cringey for me to go back and read it (but you’re totes right, rose’s and john’s stories are the best ones)

anyway i spent like an hour trying to draw you a underworld!john doodle, realized i am completely unable to draw him as a noodley musician anymore since my brain is now hardwired to draw beefcake john, and settled on a quick doodle of some underworld!rosemary instead

(underworld series is right here, if you’re itchin’ to read oxfordroulette’s hot hot 2013-2015 writing. ft. actual cannibalism and Rose Lalonde and Her Untimely Death is right here if you’re just aching for some rosemary)

anyway read my fucking dirkjohn fic

I really like the dirkjake dynamic in vv and the pet name of pet, I want to know more what freaky things did they do in bed

i mean, in-fic they dated when they were teens and jake was a big weepy pushover so everything was probably a godawful mess. but here, anon, have a vv au scenario where, instead of initiating a whirlwind romance with john, dirk hopped right back into a freaky fetish escapade fest with jake english.

jake won because he brought a gun to a knife fight. don’t worry. jake can resurrect people at will. it’s fine. it’s totally fine. it’s fine. it’s- okay god, the dirkjake version of vv would just give everyone the heebie jeebies. thank god i did not write that.

vanitas vanitatum is here! (it’s dirkjohn, if you’re not aware)

i love all johns outfits in vv, you should draw more...?

man it’s super easy to draw this way but idk if i like the Edgy™ look. anyway have john looking like some kind of count of monte cristo fuckhead.

for the art request thing, how bout some prospits in some fancy gaudy kimomos?

mmmmmmmmmmm ya’ll know what i like

pLEASE MORE VV DIRKJAKE I AM DYING

what a coincidence. so is dirk

Au in which Jane and Jakes mother is never murdered, what would that change other than the entire story?

well then jane would be in charge. welcome to 1700s-ish capitalism hell

look all of this plot contrivance was literally only due to the fact i was desperate to get dirk into a new outfit

Chapter 23 of Vanitas vanitatum is up!

(or start at chapter 1 here)

hey i was wondering if you could please draw dirk playing dress-up from the new chapter because thats some cute shit right there

yeah sure

(in reference to vanitas vanitatum, of course)
