*Active here means that you're actively creating or engaging with fanworks/fan communities at least once every couple months, and/or that you're engaging with new material as it is released.

So I wouldn't consider myself as having been an active fan of Doctor Who for over a decade, even though I've been watching it since I was a child, since there have been large spans of time where I didn't watch the show or think about it at all

Not to be a filthy homestuck on main but who else saw this

Cronus' bit about having been marked by an attempted spell from Lord English, "sealing the magician's spirit away in a series of unassuming vessels", scans differently in a retrospect tinted by persona alchemy; the line references English's various seeds and iterations of Lil Cal, of course, but the analogy to Voldemort's horcruxes tracks a little more literally if we think of English scattering to the wind as his constituent parts, Gamzee and Equius and Caliborn and Dirk (and to a lesser extent every single one of his children, the people of Alternia)

but the Harry Potter analogy doesn't map completely... I've wondered before about whether all of the highbloods might represent a little bit of English's influence, but neither Cronus nor Eridan is actually English in the way Equius and Gamzee are. actually, the way the whole story is phrased makes it seem like the spell in question may have been intended to pass English's spirit into Cronus and failed?

...this magician once somehow from afar tried to strike [Cronus] down at a young age, so he would never have to face him. 8ut the evil spell was deflected, sealing the magician's spirit away [...] until he could find some other cunning way to enter our universe.

the ensuing remark about Cronus' destiny passing on to the next Hero of Hope would certainly be consistent with any ideas that Caliborn intended to "jack" Jake English's "swagger", so to speak; and maybe, failing that, it would go some way to explaining why his plan would then pass on to Jake English's next eligible Heir?

Y’all get a CRUMB of the next animatic. A mere IOTA of content. A SMIDGEN if you will.

!!!!!!!!!!!

My God i loved writing that scene! Seeing it come to life now is so exciting i love these expressionsss!!!!

What do ya think cronus is the most proud of about himself?? Like, genuinely proud of.

Honestly probably just his music. He strikes me as a guy with a lot of self esteem and self worth issues and takes it out on others and looks for validation in the worst ways and after losing his faith i think the few things he was proud of were flushed down the toilet

So i think currently music is the one thing he feels genuinely good about and proud of

So I am super interested in how you think a cronus and Zebruh interaction would go??

So this ask has been sitting here for months and i just want you to know that I didn’t forget about it, I just wanted to wait until i had something bc… spoilers./…. >.>

—————————-

It was strange, you had to admit, waiting like a normal person at the Ampora hive door. In fact you’d been waiting several minutes already. Which okay, fine, wasn’t the worst thing in the world, but it was very different from what you were used to… like when you’d given Cronus a fake number and he’d avoided you for a month.

You were pretty sure you were still cool.

He was probably just holed up in the bathroom or something.

It was odder still when Eridan was the one to greet you at the door a few minutes after that…. Okay, it was fine. This was different but you didn’t mind…. Sure, maybe you did look forward to a little bit of banter and some casual touching but it wasn’t as though you couldn’t go without.

However when the session was already three quarters of the way over and you hadn’t seen Cronus at all, you actually began to worry that maybe, somehow you’d upset him…. It was the only working theory you had (or that he was too sick to get out of bed and oh nooo you’d need to make him soup).

But your curiosity compelled you to ask, “Hey, I haven’t seen Cronus, is everything alright?”

He shot you a mildly disgusted look, “You know you don’t have to pretend to like him, right?”

You just rolled your eyes.

“I think he’s probably still preparing for his date tonight so at least you’re not alone in your poor taste I guess.”

“Oh.”

….

Date?

Cronus Ampora… had managed to find himself a date?
