"Would you all ever consider making posters for Heir and Hemogoblin? Also, when is the next chapter of the fic coming? ;u;"

Asked by Anonymous

We’ve made them before as prizes for our giveaways. We’d love to make tons of merchandise and sell them for just material costs (Kel is a graphic designer and has free access to all sorts of awesome printing technologies), but that currently goes against Hussie’s policy for fan merchandise.

And we’ll update when we update. There’s no set time. It won’t be very long, fortunately, because high school only has about a week and a half left, and that means Sgt. will be free to edit since he doesn’t work in the summer.

"a totally random wonder just popped up in my head -- do trolls cut holes in their hoodies for their horns?"

Asked by Anonymous

Just like you’d go into a department store and find a section for females and males, there are additional sections for trolls. The types of clothes carried in these sections are made in such a way that trolls can get them on over their heads without tearing or ripping (through zippers, buttons, or other spiffy clothes fastening technologies). The Tavroses of the world need to have clothes they can wear too, after all. Troll hoodies come with holes pre-cut that usually fasten with buttons or something else. The trick is finding holes that correspond correctly to your horn diameter, though there are one-size-fits-all solutions with adjustable hooks and whatnot. Karkat has never had a problem with this.

"Would touching horns be considered sexual in this fic? And are you guys rolling with human anatomy on trolls or tentadicks?"

Asked by Anonymous

Not sexual, no, but private for sure. It’d be very rude to grab a troll’s horns without their permission, akin to maybe grabbing someone’s butt in term’s of awkwardness. The horns themselves are not, however, very sensitive, since like most horns in the animal kingdom they are mainly constituted of hard keratin.

As for troll genitalia, we had a poll and xeno biology won out over human anatomy by a large majority, and since we were good with either, that’s what we’re going to go with.

My concept of what Terezi might look like in the Real Men Wear Tights universe. I decided to continue trying concept art because I can.

Wisps guide her in a premonitory way, letting her see the path she needs to take before she needs to take it.

She does not abuse this power, more often then not seeing the deaths she is drawn to as fated or the person’s rightful time.

Hey, guys. Remember Tights Over Texas? It’s back with Chapter 2: Don’t Hate the Player

(Sorry it took me so long. Life n’ stuff…)

And as a bonus, MORE SPRITE EDITS!

This time, secret identities! (You can see the superhero set here, if you missed them.)

Equius is wearing a school hoodie. Equius, that’s a hoodie for the wrong high school AU, quit that.

I guess Dirk’s sweater vest is using the colors of his previous school, Hogwarts.

And there is definitely nothing at all suspicious or possibly back-story related about Nepeta’s appearance. She’s just adorable.

Hope you all enjoy! ^^

Blueminuet updated Tights Over Texas, so go check it out! Lookit those cutie sprites. Where are Dirk’s eyes looking? Dirk, that looks suspicious.
