Anonymous asked: Gamzee, mi quequito pobre. It's okay, honey. I'm giving you a big hug right now over the internet. All my hugs. All of them. I hope you're feeling better. My question is what's the absolute biggest, bestest, hands-down coolest, happiest, and just all around most miraculous thing you've ever baked? Mine's probably my grandma's spice cake with penuche frosting & ginger ice cream. Mega-yum! ♥

Karkat: Worry. (3/4)

It’s half an hour into art therapy and you’ve done nothing with your lump of modelling compound but poke holes into it with your forefinger. Art therapy is a waste of your time on the best of days, but at least on those days it’s a pleasant waste of time. Today, the clock just crawls; neither Sollux nor Gamzee are here, Egbert is huddled together with spiderbitch, Dave has a session with Dr. Tongue, Eridan is… Eridan, and the ladies are so busy with their own group project you’d feel weird butting in.

Eridan: Get Taken In



Yeah, so this is pretty much based off something that happened to me in 7th grade. I wrote a story, it was deemed ‘troubling’, I had to keep going to see the school counselor and sign stuff saying I would harm anyone, including myself, and make an emergency appointment with my psychiatrist to get screened for depression. Eridan, of course, got taken to LOBAF.

Eridan: Get Taken In

                Your notebook was gone.

                You were panicking.

                The intercom buzzed on.

                “Hello?”

                “Can we see Eridan Ampora in the office please?”

                Giggles. Snickers.

                I hate the fuckin’ lot a you. I shoulda actually done it.

                “Sure.”

                You drag yourself down the hallway, taking your sweet time. You know what this is about. You know what’s gonna happen. You know what’s gonna happen to you.

                You enter the office and are immediately ushered into the school psychologist’s office.

                Your parents are there. Two policemen are there. A man in an ugly suit is there. The principal is there. The school psychologist is there.

                Your notebook is there.

                Open.

                On the table.

                “I didn’t mean it!” You immediately shout out, “I gotta vvent somehow! I wwould never hurt a fly! You gotta believe me! Please, wwhat could I do against any a them anyways!”

                Where were you when they tormented me? What do you think made me write this?

                They don’t believe you.

                And the only person you want to kill now is yourself.

Anonymous asked: Rose, is it just me or does Dave look like he could be your cousin, or even a little brother?

It’s definitely not just you. I have been hearing variations on this theme since the day I arrived here.

It’s possible that I may have a younger brother who was misplaced at a dinner party somewhere after excessive martini consumption, and out of fear of social stigma the incident was glossed over when the child could not be located in the cloakroom the next morning.

I will have to ask Mother.

thegreathomestuckreread asked: I know a while back Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts were like a currency around Lobaf. I was wondering, have any of you tried the new Rainbow Cookie Pop Tarts? They're heavenly. It's like a sweet graham cookie filled with whipped cream and drizzled with chocolate icing.

I Have Not Tried These Yet And They Sound Delicious But My Opinion Is That In Terms Of Hysteria And Obsession Nothing Can Top The Pumpkin Pie Pop Tart Frenzy Of 2011 

Nothing

Brainbent Group Hug - International Suicide Resources

Hey guys. Um. I’ve been checking on and off for a while, and was wondering if there are any written resources for the families of someone who… left us…? My cousin apparently took his life last week and well, yeah. If you happen to ever find any for latino families or any resources in Peru or Bolivia, that would help too, because that is where my family is and I haven’t found anything to help us there. Thanks

[My Spanish is kind of nonexistent, but Babel fish gave me this page: http://www.telefonodelaesperanza.org/intervencion-en-crisis. The page http://www.telefonodelaesperanza.org/llamanos has a phone number for Peru as well as Bolivia.

If the organizations linked from those pages don’t do suicide survivor counseling, they will almost certainly know someone who does.

http://www.crisis-center.org gives me a Crisis and Suicide hotline for the US. The numbers are:

800.273.TALK / 800.SUICIDE

888.628.9454 (Español)

I will open the reply box in case anyone else has info to contribute.

I’m so sorry you lost your cousin. Huge hugs for you and your family while you recover from this.]

Anonymous asked: In reference to the Mod Note: Does this apply to asks too? I mean, you guys have like six billion to read, but if you come across one that pokes too far ahead in the story, do you answer it with a joke or simply toss it?

{Sometimes we use them to nudge plots along, other times we sit on them to use later. Some we do end up having to toss, either due to redundancies or inconsistencies or simply because we have other plans, but that doesn’t change the fact that asks are a really important part of making the story, so don’t be shy about asking them!}

BrainBent mods,

Some of my friends and I have a Homestuck RP group. We really love BrainBent and were wondering if it would be alright with you if we made something similar to BrainBent with our original characters. We would credit you guys. Thank you! :) — blondeibstudent

{Oh cool! Yeah that’s totally fine with us, feel free to! :D Also, just as a teeny reminder, don’t use fanmails, okay? Asks work better all around. Have fun!}

MOD NOTE re: Why haven’t you posted my submission?

<Hey folks, while we have been receiving your submissions just fine, you may have noticed that we haven’t been posting many of them. This is because, much like with character back stories, we’re holding off on posting fan contributions that intersect with current character development to avoid confusion about what is canonical and what isn’t. 

In the meantime please feel free to post your fics yourselves on the Brainbent tag!>
