a long-overdue commission for tumblr friend cmshaw!

i made it nukestuck roxy just cause

although i have to admit i laughed while clicking “like” on this, since i’m actually following you *twice* :)

...Oh.

I would say that it is not. (Except to whatever extent it’s inevitable given that the Sufferer couldn’t be a more direct Christ analogue if he ascended to form a trinity with the Father and the Holy Spirit on death, of course.)

the focus shifts away from the ecstatic religious experience elements pretty quickly, so it’s hard to say yet. not very, i don’t think.

It’s hard to tell at this point in the story. So far, it is definitely very Christianity inspired, though it is hard to get away with that with the Sufferer. There are some unique elements and it feels like it could be heading somewhere surprising.

Aaaah I think this is one of my favorite Aradias I've ever drawn, the favradia if you will.

this is based on the nuclearstuck au so this version of her is based on a descrip i got from carla. we've done a little RPing in the AU (I basically took Sollux haha) and the relationship history we've kind of established between them is that the two of them (and Tavros) grew up in the same district, and had an ill-fated matespritship, eventually became pretty quality moirails, and broke it off before Sol enlisted in the military.

she and tav are all diamonds now, and together they're a hell of a trio. sollux is a pain in the ass but Aradia's a trooper. still, a gal can only take so much!

what about vriskat (black) or rose/terezi (any quadrant)?

I don't understand Vriska/Karkat, I just don't get it.  Maybe someday someone will write a shipping manifesto that makes me understand, but in general I think they don't understand each other very well, and mostly they seem like they'd find each other irritating.

MEANWHILE ROSE/TEREZI is good in basically every quadrant, and particularly good in black-shaded red, what goofy, brilliant, kind of alarming ladies who should obviously kiss.

Could I get a really ridiculous all the beta kids together in a huge love sandwich au? (please don’t judge me C’8)

I will never judge anyone for BetaOT4, what a good ship.  I am super-nostalgic for it because I read lots of it when I was first getting into fandom.  Clearly the best AU here is White Collar AU, where John and Jade are FBI agents and Rose and Dave are cunning white collar criminals on the side of good!  And they have trust issues and they steal a lot of art (allegedly!) and wear a lot of suits.

what about like sollux&aradia&tavros&karkat!! all in the same location with various quadranty signs where the ampersands are.

Right so given that pile of troll kids, uh, Karkat pacifying Sollux/Tavros ashen-ways, Sollux<>Aradia and Tavros<3Aradia.  I want this as like, middle school teacher AU, they get into conciliatory hijinks in the break room and Karkat calls his students "little shitheads" more than is professional.

rosekarkat, johnvriska, meenah<3<vriska, meenah<3aranea

Okay I'm just going to rank these in order of which ones I have ever thought about:

1) John/Vriska (pale, what are you thinking shipping them red, of course pale) 2) Meenah<3Aranea (aw ghost wives) 3) Rose/Karkat (people have tried to explain it to me, apparently butts?  Butts and Karkat feeling confused yet aroused.) 4) Meenah<3< Vriska (I guess from the flash?  Huh.)
