#bro coded

updated bro-coded, my homestuck self insert/isekai. been a bit, so i'll summarize the premise:

Your name is EMMA, and you're having a Homestuck dream again. You find yourself entering your apartment on April 10th, 2009. Your shades look stupid as fuck indoors, but actually no they don't. You see your lil' bro Dave on the couch and acknowledge him with a nod. And then you get a phone call from Roxy, realize she's been isekai'd into by your friend Viri from real life, and the illusion shatters. Luckily... these bodies didn't exactly come as blank slates. But even with Roxy and Dirk's help..... can Viri and Emma somehow change fate?

And it isn't even a change come from introspection and genuinely changing, their guardians got specifically replaced by different people.

God, the angst that's gonna cause them if they figure it out

there's a few big things about bro-coded that are worth noting.

one - obviously, this is operating under the thematic consequences of Act 1's reality. (really good post that informs a LOT of the philosophy of bro-coded, worth a read.) act 1's Earth is not a real place, it's not filled with real people. Early John, when Rose starts modifying his house, cannot give less of a shit about his sense of reality rapidly unravelling -- his sense of reality did not really exist as a coherent thing in the first place, because it's just a series of symbols, a series of ideas.

(click READ MORE, i. ended up writing a LOT)

Now with 100% more adorable sparkly pink flying kittycats.

Yeah! Pretty proud of this one. Has some neat twists and turns, and I think the Jaspersprite convo is very cute.

Bro-Coded - A Homestuck isekai

This is a fic I've been writing for the past month or so, and it just hit 10k words! It's a dual-OC-isekai inspired by @kolbietheaggrievedwriter's fic Jumpstart (which you don't need to read before reading this fic, but it might help explain the premise).

Emma, a Homestuck fan in her early 20s, thinks she's dreaming. Bro Strider's a weird perspective to be dreaming from, but she's had weirder. Dirk Strider commenting on her actions in her head? Pretty damn weird. Her best friend Viri calling her on Bro's phone, saying that she's been isekai'd into Homestuck, and is stuck with her own brain ghost Roxy in the body of Mom Lalonde? That's when she starts shutting down, hard. With only three days to go before the meteors, a non-zero amount of troll girls pestering them, and two Strilonde kids who are about to have their lives changed forever, can Emma and Viri get it together to save their unexpected charges... and themselves?

THIS IS THE FUNNIEST POSSIBLE QUESTION I COULD HAVE RECIEVED BUT NO IM NOT THE GUY.

Take care

viri is my name irl and viri is me irl :3 (so is emma obviously, but viri is what people call me)

viri is also roxy lalonde in a trenchcoat irl ...

i haven't made much progress on chapter 6 (which will be a viroxy chapter) yet, but i have a rough outline... in the meantime, i wrote some very silly crossover shitposts between a few of my fics!

here's A Bed of Roses x Bro-Coded:

Rose stared at the two girls in front of her. Both of them stared back, blinking eerily in-sync. The girl on the left - that was familiar ground. That was her mother, displaced in time (well, really, she was the one displaced), wearing a gaudy pink cat t-shirt underneath an unbuttoned coat. She stared at Rose with something like wry, knowing amusement, even though Rose was sure her mother knew about as much as she did. The other girl was the unknown factor. Sure, she'd known that the Quad-Wizard Tournament would require participants from four schools, and one of them was from America. And sure, she knew that the odds of strangers looking like familiar people wasn't nothing, all things considered. She'd seen the front page of Imgur once or twice -- "this stranger could be my secret twin" posts weren't unheard of. But the other girl blinked at Rose with delicate bright pink eyes, and some part of her wanted to stab the impostor dead on the spot. "You look like you wanna stab me," said the other girl lightly, thick Texan accent reminding Rose of the Striders. "An' I'm not sure what I did to deserve that." Was there another paradox clone John had just lost track of? Did it make any sense at all for there to somehow be two Roxies? ...Come to think of it, it didn't make sense for there to be two Roses, either, assuming she was going to be born later this year, but -- "I love your robes, bee tee dubs," said Roxy to the other girl. "I'm, like. So fucking jealous. I fucking LOVE wizards." The other girl smiled. "Same," she said. "Was pretty goddamn happy about the letter, lawl." God, they even talked similar, accent or no. Rose cleared her throat. This madness had to end. "What's your name, anyway?" she asked the second Roxy. "R--" said the other girl, before stopping herself, sending Rose's eyebrows sky-high. After a moment, she opened her mouth again. "My name's Viri." "I'm Roxy," said Rose's mom, and oh goddammit, was she making FRIENDS with the impostor?!

and here's ABOR x Bro-Coded x Worm!

"I'm Seer, from the Brockton Bay Wards," said Rose, blandly. "Rogue, from New York," said a very familiar voice. Rose's breath caught. Without even thinking, she had grabbed the other girl, running over to a corner. "Mom?" she asked, shakily, pulling down her mask. "It's me, Rose." She was sure. She had to be right. The other girl's expression was unreadable, but Rose's breath caught in her throat when she saw the pink eyes. It had to be her. "My name is Viri," said Rogue, and Rose felt her whole world start to shatter apart. "But..." She bit her lip, and Rose just stared. "I used to try the name Roxy for myself, when I first started transitioning. Does that... mean anything to you?" "It does," said Rose, breathless. "It is you." A hand on her shoulder. She turned around. Dean. "Not that I want to interrupt whatever is happening here," her fellow Ward said, voice muffled by his helmet. "But we are in the middle of an event, Seer." He gestured at something, and Rose numbly followed the motion to find her mask still in her hands. "Oh," she said. With one last look at Roxy-- no. Viri-- no, they were on the clock, call her Rogue-- She took a deep breath, put her mask back on, and walked back over to join her team. We'll be talking more went unspoken, as she glanced back at Rogue. Rogue nodded, as if she'd gotten the message. God. This was like finding Dave all over again.
