HAPPY HOMESTUCK DAY!!! @413countdown.bsky.social

And of course, happy birthday, John! I wonder what life altering experience will happen to you between now and next year.

page 1 of 2 || #homestuck || #homestuck413

John is looking up at the reused "Happy 18th birthday John!" banner, which has 18, 27 and 28 crossed out, now replaced by the number 29. He looks at it and says "guys... just get a new banner". Karkat offscreen says "Wow. Has the aficionado of running gags finally met his match?"
The next panel shows Karkat sitting comfortably on the floor with a slice of cake set to the side. John crouches down to sit next to him as he says "hey Karkat!". Karkat replies "Hey Egbert. Happy wriggling day." John replies "hahaha thanks man".

Day 3: Domestic

Snowy winter night shop window reflection selfie gone wrong.
#hometuck || #davekat || #davekatweek2025

Karkat is wearing a sage green winter coat and a candy red scarf that covers the bottom half of his face. Dave is wearing a burgundy trench coat, fuzzy brown ear muffs, his shades, and a face mask. It's a dark, snowy night, so probably around 4pm. In the first panel Dave holds Karkat close to him, hand on his shoulder, and throws up the millennial peace sign while saying "cheeeeeese" with the other. Karkat is taking a photo of them both.
The next panel is zoomed in on their faces and Karkat looks to Dave and asks "did you smile?" Dave hesitates and says "...no." In the final panel, Karkat deletes the photo. Dave turns to him, shocked.

Day 2: Throwback

Throwback to that time I wrote a tiny fic based on three emojis someone sent to my askbox lol

#homestuck || #davekat || #davekatweek2025 || archiveofourown.org/works/53673232

Karkat and Dave are sitting across from each other at a cafe booth by a floor-to-ceiling window, laptops out on the wooden table as they converse. Karkat seems to be scolding Dave about something, who looks to be a little perturbed by what the other is saying. Find out more on ao3 dot come slash (just kidding, here is the fic link if you're interested)
