My bee fly Karkat story that I’m not gonna write properly is about Karkat hiding out at Kanaya’s hive for reasons that aren’t fully explicated at this effort level. You’d almost think it was a mere friendly visit, except that Karkat, amidst the sunlit rooms and the bright colours and the zombie attacks, is growing very very hivesick, yet does not leave for home.
He’d tried matching Kanaya’s sleep schedule at first, but the result was him wandering through Kanaya’s tower in a haze of exhaustion and light-blindness, while Kanaya avoided his company in favour of frolicking through the desert. Now they meet each other crosswise, at gloaming and dawn, and make half-asleep/half-awake small talk over grubloaf seasoned with plants that Kanaya has harvested by chainsaw.
this post is not a joke i’ve been thinking about this for months and i’m POSITIVE sburb would, in theory let players do this. in this panel, dave proves that players can create parts of themselves by trying to alchemize his own brain in a jar. his only limitation is lack of grist. also, the game clearly has no issue with resurrecting the dead (see: god tiers, life ring, aradia, dreamselves) or duplicates of characters (dreamselves again, dirk’s whole arc, (vriska)) or just straight up creating people (ectobiology) so i see no reason why you couldn’t bring back dead players this way, or even more upsetting, create a carbon copy of a living player. youd just need the right combination of items and an insane amount of grist, and not only would it be possible, but thematically relevant to sburb itself
imagine a fucking alchemiter 3d printing a homunculus
