Reyla the Dirkradia

Presumably.

The EP "Land of Dogs and Oil" showcases my musical contributions as a "newgen" (blind reactor) to the 2025 re-release of Homestuck. I shall publish one of these compositions every day until I run out of them.

A definitive collection featuring selected fan music from everyone in the newgen community is yet forthcoming.

#9: Nepeta Does Something Badass

For the original artwork concept:

Picture Nepeta with her arms crossed, wearing Equius' blood-stained sunglasses, posing atop a descending Akira elevator — SSJ2 Gohan moment — before being distracted by someone waving a laser pointer on the floor and deflating all that aura she just accumulated.

Unfortunately, I am short on time and need to take a flight tomorrow. Instead, have this, and mourn at what could have been.

Also, here is my unjustified and comedically exaggerated crashout (feat. @solargirldreams) upon learning that, not only had I been spoiled for Davepetasprite^2 before I started the comic, but all the oldgens were laughing behind my back for months when I became convinced I hadn't been spoiled.

As for how this is relevant: I put leitmotivic foreshadowing within "Nepeta Does Something Badass" and "Zathura Ultima (vs. BRO)" that tied together Dave and Nepeta thematically, with the same pan flute and everything. I thought I was being clever.

Really I was just oblivious, and trying to flex to the oldgens in the peanut gallery with how clever and sneaky I was opened me up to getting bamboozled. Didn't help that Davesprite and Nepeta kept fucking dying.

But in the end I WAS RIGHT. I hedged my bets and CAME OUT ON TOP, BABY!
