I finally finished it! If you are interested in absurdist theater or
Homestuck, or both, you should check out this short film I made of one of my favorite Homestuck fics. Enjoy!OK. OK. So:
-The subtle clue re Dirk 3′s shirt iconography
-The actual construction of a miniature Damien Hirst horse-slices-in-lucite knockoff
-Dirk 1 dunking Dirk 4 out of the frame with his weird rigid puppet arm
-The Dirks taking it in turn to be Background Dirk and pointing out details of the set dressing like they were Barker’s Beauties on The Price Is Right
-The faint outline of “IT KEEPS HAPPENING” printed on the stairs
-Chair Hat
-The incredible plastic smugness of Andrew Hussie
-The fire from the fireplace floating untroubled out of the frame on the rising flood
-The fact that this exists at all
I am speechless. I am speechless
It’s a fan project, of a fic, with amazing production values, and also calculatedly bad production values. The fic itself is an unmitigated torrent of ludicrous dialogue between four of the same person, except when it’s interrupted by an unmitigated torrent of even more ridiculous events. Horses are involved. People die.
I’m not sure it’s possible for a more Homestuck thing to exist.
