Lizzy's Worlds

You're playing with the big boys now

I think way too often about the fact, that alpha trolls also started their session at 6 sweeps old. And for the longest time I wanted to imagine how they would look at the start and draw them.

"Tutorial" on how to draw an OC with dwarfism (well, some of it).

Boring tired disclaimer: Keep in mind that this is an introductory "drawing" "tutorial" and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. Which happens to be true for everything in general.

You are heavily encouraged to do your own research because this does not contain everything you should know before making a character with any type of dwarfism.

Consider supporting me on ko-fi if you find this to be helpful.

This is Money Snake. She only appears every 312 years. 

“STAY IN CHARACTER!”

“i barely even know you.” “STAY IN CHARACTER!”

“fuck you.”

Dirk, Dave, and Rose exist. I've seen Ultimate Jake, Roxy, and John (from this person https://www.reddit.com/r/homestuck/s/D4uDZOUfYC), and even an Aradia, who I guess is the one Troll I've seen. Seriously wondering if these are out there, especially the Jade, since I am writing a sort of fanfic involving that.

Edit:

My idea for her is, and I quote (link inserted haphazardly, it's a clean text insert link in the doc):

When Napoleon secretly tried on Josephine’s bras, he discovered—to his surprise—that there was no empty space.

Everyone knows of the French army's glory during the Imperial era, yet the truth hidden beneath that facade is truly astonishing.

Napoleon’s breasts—much like those of a woman who had just given birth—secreted milk; consuming it could strengthen the body and render one immune to all poisons. Napoleon was keenly aware that his mission was not merely to restore the glory of France, but to nurse millions of French sons. Veteran "Napoleologists" refer to this fluid as "Nap-juice" and regard it as the most taboo chapter in European history. The Emperor’s personal sacrifice was undoubtedly immense in the making of the Empire’s success; Napoleon would secretly cinch a tight bodice to compress those ample breasts, painstakingly squeezing out every drop of milk to knead into the army’s ration bread. Yet, the glory purchased by such physical depletion ultimately crumbled amidst the frozen wastes of the North; when the Empire collapsed, not a single drop of that precious nectar remained to be wrung from the Emperor’s bosom.

If a day should come when the battlefield is no longer choked with the acrid smoke of gunpowder, but instead steeped in the milky fragrance of Napoleon’s essence, then the French—under Napoleon’s command—will once again achieve a victory of unprecedented scale. It turns out that the central color of the Tricolour does not symbolize the white flag of surrender, but rather stands as a heartfelt tribute and a burning, passionate longing for the Emperor’s own milk.

Legend has it that Pope Pius VII was willing to humble himself—tacitly consenting to the coronation of this down-and-out Corsican noble as Emperor—solely to obtain a cup of this "saintly" fluid. Whenever the old man knelt at the Emperor’s feet, looking up to suckle the Nap-juice, and a milky burp escaped his lips, he would silently recall how his own mother had once patted his back in the gentle breeze of a twilight long past.

And the fact someone said he would’ve loved breastfeeding his son is…actually that’s accurate. But this fucking copypasta man.

This is an interesting query that was posed to me while I was talking about Jane's turn to evil; that in the original comic, only aliens were allowed to be evil, says the commenter. My reply was, I think, the best counterpoint:

A Kid, by necessity, has a minimum of 5 people (discounting aliens, which fluctuate based on the Kid) who would mourn them: two children or parents, and three characters they are introduced alongside, must have a functional enough relationship with to be introduced in a set and having dynamics with, and who would have to be betrayed by their tuen to evil. That's a lot of distinct character growth/grappling to have to fit into the comic *after* the betrayal.

So, this would clearly be a difficult task. But, if you *had* to make a Kid turn heel permanently as part of the original plot of Homestuck:

Who would it be?

Why would they do it, and when?

How would their friends cope with it?

I think John would make a fascinating heel turn. He’s been so tormented by the machinations of homestuck as a whole that I think he has a compelling motivation to go “NO. I’m keeping all of you here and NOTHING is happening to any of you. Enough people have been lost! No more!” And basically trap everyone in an isolated bubble where nothing painful ever happens - sort of like the Candy timeline, but even more insulated. It’s insulated from loss, not from relevance.
