Description Vive le Roi.


(Yes, I know he's an heir, not a king, but heirs turn into kings so there.)

Today's Homestuck update made me so very sad. Sorry, I know it's kind of a spoiler, but you shouldn't be looking at new Homestuck fan art if you aren't caught up! Now, BE MISERABLE WITH ME.

;___;




Edit: Re-uploaded a corrected file because my French sucks ololo

I just showed my friend (who is somewhere in Act 3) this picture and she nearly broke my freaking shoulder throwing a regular fangirl freakout.

A lot of things in Homestuck made me sad, but this is still the only one that actually made me cry, even after he rose up. And I suspect you hear that a lot.

Even though I knew what was going to happen after (kind of), I was still inordinately upset when this happened. Poor John.

oh hai there John's corpse, long time no see! How've you been?

aaaah I can't believe I never faved this! It's one of my favorite pieces of HS fanart ever. His poor empty eyes, the smooth, simple shading, his graceful fingers, all that blood... it's very chilling.

This picture has been in my browser's list of tabs ever since I saw it. It's beautifully portrayed.
Also, I was excited that I could understand it since I just finished French 102.

You might wanna use a secondary file to be a preview. One that says "spoilers for Homestuck Act 5-2" or something.
Kinda like this .

ಠ_ಠ...

No but seriously, everyone is entitled to liking or disliking any character for any reason. I am definitely not a fan, though at this point I can no longer be mad at her. Just exasperated.

Lacklusterious In reply to lexxercise [2010-12-17 05:20:42 +0000 UTC]

I can understand that.

Now a comment on your art:

It makes me foam at the mouth in delight. I'm most attracted to the grays in the picture, especially the eyes. They add a nice touch of lifelessness to the subject while they're soft enough that you feel mournful even if you don't know the story. Excellent job!

Now I'll let myself realize what just happened. *clears throat*

John Egbert - April 13th.

He's Aries....

Like all Aries I know, when they get down, it doesn't take a second for them to stand up. Like a "Phoenix"; he will rise again; All Aries do.

I read the updates at school, so I am just sitting at a library computer crying and everyone's like 'what are you doing' and I'm just BAWWW JOHN.

I cannot wait to see what happens!
