The Codependency of Cherubs

Meant to post this weeks ago, but forgot.

Anyway, the cherubs are favorite characters (and fan-characters) of Homestuck. I find their twisted dynamic and relationships so fascinating, I could listen and talk about it for hours. There are so many ways to interpret their story and so much potential.

that odd feeling between "oh my gosh it was you!" and "wait you're real?" or even "oh dear, I'm so sorry." when I find Christians who act like the negative stereotypes I and my peers would get accused of that I thought were just straw-men until then.

it's just weird finally seeing a group or person after their essence was used as an argument against what you believe or an insult against you.

I have been inspired by @chrisrin gemstuck AU, it's so beautifully designed and the ideas for the story as a whole is just so excellent and thoughtful.

I may have a bias in the lack of cherubs, as they are my favorite characters, so I made my own designs of them for this AU, even if they aren't canon, it was still fun to add. :D

I tried my best to find gems that fit both their colors and personality. (I got so lucky with serpentine, it's green and snake-theme, so perfect for Calliope. Also, ruby for Caliborn cause red and angry, not as clever but it still works.)

While I'm not completely satisfied with their outfits (might change later), for the most part I accomplished what I wanted.

I want you all to know I love this AU and can't wait to see more!

Callie/Serpentine - a rare/unique gem who was abandoned under mysterious circumstances. She is reluctantly traveling with a malformed ruby as he won't leave her alone and she's already lost, (later gets corrupted on accident).

Caliborn/Ruby - a spiteful runaway ruby who rejected his role in the empire rather violently, (was cracked when escaping). He now follows a serpentine with unknown intent and unkind words, refusing to leave her side.

Heliotrope - a half corrupted fusion of Callie/Serpentine + Caliborn/Ruby, who were forced to fuse in order to survive a fight. However, both of them are now stuck like this, otherwise they risk putting too much stress on their gems and shattering themselves the moment they unfuse.

i just can’t have enough of puppet/puppeteer metaphors, please shove them directly into my mouth (and also dolls are very cool thank you)

Average Cupid and Mario interaction. She's so confused.

(Cupid has no idea who Dimentio is. There's just an eerie resemblance. She is a trans woman.)

ECCC Day 3! Went back to our roots and did homestuck <3 From left to right:

Oops all god tiers :) Also my first time making armor!

Gold being the dad/caretaker of the Judgement Boys is both funny and adorable. Like, they're a weird little family.

i 100% believe mario attempts to punch king boo before he traps him in the painting (it never worked </3)
