The theme was ‘character timetravels to correct their mistakes’ and I didn’t have much time for something qualitative or canon-related, so this is not the comic I’d even like to translate, it’s just a silly little plaything -n-
EDIT: Thnx bro
symbolswriter reblogged this from xamag-homestuck and added:

Hello, my candy coated darling, it’s your vanilla baby
I’ve come to say I love you and I always have
I find it so amusing, I used to be confused and
afraid that you would never love me backBut now I see that we were always meant to be
you and me forever planting lots of family trees
counting out our children, half a zillion at least
we’ll name the boys for you and we will name the girls for meHello, the sour peach of my skin, the sweetest poison icing
so tasty it could rot your teeth and brain
The chaotic consumption, the diabetic gumption
to do a thing like make me go insaneand leave this plane of reality completely
float among the clouds of pink and blue cotton candy
let’s blast into space and race around like airplanes
spreading multicolored chem-trails, soda pop and acid rainFeels so neat! Never wanna be myself again, I just wanna be SW—E—ET!
Feels so fun! Never wanna come back down…Goodbye to heartbreak on my birthday, annoying boys who hurt me
with all the stupid things they do and say
I can’t even remember, what I was so upset for
Spun sugar melts in water anywaySo no more crying, dry those tears, I’ll end your pain
Soon you’ll feel the cherry syrup running through your veins
Heaven is a grinning face with not a trace of shame
Take a taste of every flavour, favour anything but plainFeels so neat! Never wanna be myself again, I just wanna be SW—E—ET!
Feels so fun! Never wanna come back down….~
she’s over you
so get over yourself
reblogging for everyone who isn’t up at fuck-all o’clock
Notes on Tricksters:
As of the Update, three characters have canon Trickster designs: John, Roxy, and Jane.
John’s is accessed by clicking Ctrl-T during a flash in Act 1 (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002153)
Roxy’s was drawn by Calliope, seen with the Spiral Sucker. (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/storyfiles/hs2/scraps/roxyisthisyoU.gif)
Something to note about the Sucker: it initiates Jane’s Trickster Mode, and Trickster!John has one stuck to his head (albeit a different colour/design).
With John’s trickster mode, it literally breaks the game. It flips Normal John upside down and makes him look ghostlike, and presents a Trickster John and floating Hussie head. It then allows the upside down John to walk through walls and access the Problem Sleuth office, along with an area with a code for the second Trickster Mode (during the shale imp fight, (http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002297)
Other Trickster Mode locales, when activated, also break the mini-game they’re in. In Alterniabound, when activated, a Vriska-like John shows up, the transportalizer effect is changed to be Earthbound like, and it gives access to the Sound Room, which Gamzee inhabits. In [S] John: Enter Village, when activated in the Mushroom Farms, it turns John into Dave and allows him to use Time-freezing attacks. In [S] Kanaya: Return to the Core, the Sound Room is accessed by Ctrl-T, though Sollux is there instead.
Each Trickster Mode breaks the game they’re in.
I’ve said that a lot so far.
Trickster Mode breaks the game.
There’s a reason Calliope and Caliborn’s Jujus are the most powerful. And why they were kept apart. They, together, initiate Trickster Mode.
But now, instead of us, the Reader, activating it in a single Flash and running around doing silly things, the Characters themselves have the ability to activate it.
Sburb/Sgrub is a Game.
Trickster Mode breaks games.
This Update looks very whimsical. But it has very very serious implications.
And that’s my two cents for now.
