OIL IS WORTTH ITT2 BLOOD IN GOLD

When I was hospitalized back in 2016 homestuck was my comfort media. I had gotten into homestuck around 2014, but around 2016, it was my life line. This is an actual picture I drew of Mituna while i was hospitalized. I remmeber being upset bc there weren’t the colors I wanted- but now that I look back at it I like how it came out. I want to redraw it but I dont feel like it’d be fair to younger me.

Homestuck has been a huge special interest since I was a very very young teen, and its followed me everywhere i went. I met my best friend through homestuck fanart, I coped with my mental illnesses by relating to characters who behaved similar to me, when I went to school for the first time in my life I used escapism to cope, and of course i escaped by daydreaming about homestuck.

It was homestuck that made me take my art seriously because I too wanted to make a comic. It made me start writing, even if i started writing by doing stupid character x reader fanfics. I made my first ocs in homestuck. Trips I went on with my parents before life changing moments i remember drawing Sollux in the hotel room. In freshmen year id calm myself down by doodling my favorite characers with cheap pens on lined paper. I remember writing my own aus, my own theories and stories about the dancestors and ancestors. Homestucks been with me through everything, and its “dorky” and “cringy” but it got me through the worst and best parts of my life.

I want to reread it, but with how my life is right now, idk when I’ll get around to it. But its not something I can just forget about. I wish I could draw something new, something big for 4/13, but with my computer i cant. Hopefully my 15 year old selfs drawing will do. Im sure he’d be more than happy to know I’ve made it so far, and to know I still really like homestuck (and Mituna, lol. Hed probably go insane if he knew his future initials would be MT)
