Truth Is Rarely SimpleIt is easy, almost too easy, to hate Dave Strider. He's egotistical. His sense of humor is pretty shitty. He invests far too much time into perfecting his drum bleed inducing 'sick fires.' He's obviously flushed for Terezi.

   All of it adds up to a single simple truth: it is far too easy for Karkat Vantas to hate the human known as Dave Strider.

   Except the truth isn't often simple, right? Like there was the truth that Alternia was gone, but the more complex truth was that a reflection of the world known as Beforus was gone. Terezi was blind, that was true, but it was more true that she could see things that Karkat couldn't. Like he co
Doomed To Dream - Part 3
"Sollux."

All Sollux wanted to do when he heard that voice was sigh in resignation. Not that he was going to, of course. That would be, in it's own way, the worst kind of mistake. Tyrals Grisok, the grizzled old teal troll that looked like he had to be some kind of troll-cholerbear cross breed, was the only one that could put so damn much disdain into his voice at the sight of Sollux. He was, for lack of a better term, a traditionalist. If there was any member of the Enforcers of this division that had no time for 'upstart young yellows who got it in them heads that we needs them watching our cyber-rears' and openly scoffed whenever Sollux'
Land of Wrath and Compassion    Eridan Ampora was pathetic.

   It wasn't even the slightest kind of exaggeration. Eridan was pathetic, though not in the ways or for the reasons that he thought he should be. For some reason he thought he was supposed to be pitiable because he was a seadweller, because he was 'smart,' because he was a noble close to the heiress, because because because. As if any of that was a reason to pity a troll. No, they were reasons to hate them, not to mention his attitude, his genocidal tendencies, his conceit, even his obsession with getting himself a matesprit.

   And Tavros Nitram pitied him.

   There was, one of Kanayas he'd met since aw
Coming to the PrecipiceGrowing up is hard, and the problem is that he's the only one that can really understand.

   Okay, so maybe that isn't exactly true, but it's true enough. As different as the two of you are, there are a lot of ways in which you are the same. Both living isolated lives despite your wishes. Both without a guardian to speak of. Both in some sort of 'natural' world where death awaits around every corner. The major difference is the fact that around his corners are monstrous white beasts. Around yours are countless miles of ocean, giant red bugs with armor stronger than the best of your irony, and the only company to be had is that which you con
For Everything, A Price    "You're really going to leave like this? Without saying goodbye?"

   She freezes with the door half open, and even from his place on the other side of the room, Dave can see how white her knuckles are from the death grip she's got on the knob. A grip so tight it's almost like she's clinging to it, grabbing at a lifesaver in the middle of the Atlantic because her ship has gone down and the water is icy cold and there ain't no fucking way she's letting go until one of those rescue boats fishes her out of the remains of her doomed cruise ship vacations. Her other hand has a similar grip on the handle of her rolling luggage, but it's loosen
Glimmer of JadeLuck, or maybe fate, is why she's there. Well, not why she's there exactly, just why she's there on that particular day. After all the docks that recent criminal or political prisoners were brought through to be transferred to holding or sold into slavery weren't exactly unknown to her. It was where she came for fresh blood for her fleets, both literally and figuratively—there were plenty of less respectable medislashers that would drain a prisoner for the right fee, and who would complain when it helped out a more valuable member of her crews. No, what was lucky was the day she'd chosen to come. Marquise Spinneret Mindfang could feel it deep

So to celebrate a 100 follower milestone over on Tumblr, I did a giveaway of hand made, Homestuck themed Cross-Stitched bookmarks. This one obviously used Aquarius's symbol, the Time aspect, and Thief of Time text.

I love how bright and rich the colors are on the time aspect, but the problem is that the picture DID NOT have enough light, so you can't see that. The Aquarius is also nice, but the color wasn't as rich as Eridan's.

More bookmarks can be seen [here].

I really like it but I was wondering why it says 'Thief of Time' when Dave is the 'Knight of Time' and Eridan is the 'Prince of Hope'?

Because the request from the person who received this was for the Thief of Time using the aquarius symbol. Since the bookmarks were custom made I let the people who won them arrange them to their interests.
