Bonus Round 4

Mobius Double Reacharound FST - Revisited

Hi shippers! Welcome to Bonus Round 4! Bringing back a favourite from last year! (Sorry for the delay, we're very busy!)

Here’s how this is going to work: somebody will submit a selection of 3-6 songs without comment. Then somebody else will come along and create a companion fanwork to fit the soundtrack!

Rules

If you are submitting a soundtrack: submit only the track listing and download or youtube links. The idea is that people should ~interpret~ your selections!

You are not allowed to fill soundtrack prompts with your team's ship, nor are you allowed to fill your own soundtracks. (Filling your team's soundtracks is okay!)

Soundtracks count for 5 points each, for a maximum of 100 points per team.

Fills may be in whatever format you choose (except FST, of course) so long as they link the songs by mood and/or lyrics in some kind of narrative.

Post your fill as a comment to the prompt post, using the title format described below.

This challenge will run until 11:59PM EST August 3rd.

Title Format
If you are starting a new thread, please use this format in your title.

Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team YOU belong to; please use the characters and quadrant, not whatever portmanteau or nickname you've come up with.
If your team name is not in this format and in the title we cannot guarantee that it will be counted.

If you are filling a prompt, use this format in your title.

Replace [YOUR SHIP] with the name of the team YOU belong to; please use the characters and quadrant, not whatever portmanteau or nickname you've come up with.
If your team name is not in this format and in the title we cannot guarantee that it will be counted.

Posts not using this format in the title will be understood to be unofficial discussion posts, no matter what they contain. They, like all comments on the comm, are subject to the Wank Policy.

Scoring
For prompt posts: 5 points each (maximum of 100 per team)

For Fills (as stated here)
First 5 entries per team: 30 (per entry)
Entries 6-10: 20 (per entry)
Entries 11-15: 10 (per entry)
Entries 16+: 5 (per entry)

All scored content must be created/assembled new for this round.

We would prefer that any questions about this challenge or anything else in the HSO be emailed to us at homestuck.shipping AT gmail!

(Karkat<3Terezi)

Your fingers hover over your keyboard as you prepare to message your future self, but something makes you stop. There isn’t a single person on this meteor except maybe Gamzee who doesn’t think the whole argue-with-yourself-endlessly thing makes any kind of logical sense. You can’t even come up with a good argument for why it’s not a waste of time because if you’re honest, future you is a douche and past you is just a plain idiot and you’re not sure if it really does help you sort things out or not.

So maybe it’s a little stupid and childish. Maybe you should just talk to your moirail, because that’s kind of the point, but you just can’t see yourself voicing this properly. Gamzee would probably tell you to chill, and you’re beyond chilling. The entire Terezi situation as blown out of proportion and you feel like an idiot talking about it, and you already know you’re an idiot so it doesn’t matter what the other yous think. You’re all idiots.

The point of the matter is, you and Terezi totally had a thing. You’re a master at romance of all kinds, you know it was legit. There was frustrating pity, there were sloppy makeouts, and there was disgusting flirting in front of everyone in memos. You fought like a brilliant team in the medium and everything was perfect.

Until Strider. It didn’t take her long to get extremely distracted with the infuriating human and it got even worse after him and Lalonde arrived on the meteor. You’ve barely gotten a spare moment to speak with her in the last who knows how long.

Just for kicks, because you obviously hate yourself and enjoy causing yourself pain, you try trolling her to see if this time will be any different from the last dozen.

Spectacularly worse than usual, well done, Karkat. You deserve an award. An award for alienating your ex-potential-matesprit and making yourself look like an asshole with a defective thinkpan. You've been working towards this award for quite some time now, it's a surprise you didn't win it sooner. Maybe you should come to terms with the fact that Terezi doesn't have time for you anymore and whatever you did right in the first place to win her pity, you're not doing it right anymore.

You sign off trollian with a resigned sigh and go looking for Gamzee.
