how id kill to see you again~

alright here’s some tumblr lore:

Back In The Day(TM) when Homestuck was in its prime on tumblr, there was a popular pixel artist called feastings. They made massive amounts of edits of Homestuck characters as cute little pixels in a variety of different outfits

These spread like wildfire in the Homestuck fandom, and we all started making “pixel families”, where we’d assign a friend/mutual as one of these characters, put the pixel(s) in our descriptions or on a blog page, and then link the image to the person’s blog. It was also fun to use hover text to describe which of our friends was Which character. or maybe a silly anecdote or two

These pixels became so popular that you’d be VERY hard pressed to find a Homestuck who hadn’t seen one before. And then, they became popular even OUTSIDE of Homestuck, because people would take the pixels and use them as a base to make edits of other characters
