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!

In Which Karkat Vantas Comes Down With a Case of the Cosby

(Dave♠Karkat)

Stepping through the hallowed halls of the grey meteor, Karkat Vantas finds a treasure chest. Unlike the 20 billion he left behind him, completely unopened due to the sheer stupidity of the concept, Karkat pauses at this particular lock. It's argyle. Argyle in clashing primary colors. His Kanaya sensibilities make him shudder with boiling rage as he touches the woolen texture of the edging. There is no way she will believe this inanimate monstrosity actually exists on the meteor.

Out of sheer horror, he opens the box. What lies inside is worse than any punishment the Grand Highblood could deal out. It's a sweater. A knit sweater. Karkat is vaguely aware this sweater represents everything awful about the human time period known as "the 80's," but that's not why this swath of fabric is the worst thing he's ever laid his globulars on.

It changes. The pattern on the thing changes every few seconds. Each pattern is worse than the last. A 12th Perigee's Eve scene with meowbeasts, neutral toned squares with plaid printing, a scene of a family in a hive, the list keeps growing. Karkat stares in horror as each iteration of the pattern flashes into his thinkpan. Sweet flying assholes, the look on Kanaya's face if she sees this... No, even better, the look on Dave's face.

Karkat smiles. Wearing this thing might be worth the pain if it means seeing what his comrades will do.

----------

yo flower of my life and bane of my loins you wouldnt happen to know where shitfaced mcbitchtroll is

Oh, Karkat? Why? Are you reconsidering his erotic threesome offer?

goddammit no i mean why would i even consider that bullshit
i know my dick is in high demand like the stock market is rising baby better buy all the tickets for huge cock company
because the strider bull market is going strong
no but really i just want to see if he dug up anything on the meteor
im as bored as hell and im not going to take this anymore

A scream echoes from across the hallway.

Sounds like you're in luck, Dave.

Kanaya is standing with her hands on her face, mouth gaping open at the horror of her friend. Karkat is struggling wildly, trying to pull off the godawful sweater.

holy shit

Is that-

Karkat Vantas You Get That Disaster Off Of Your Body Immediately Or I Will Be Forced To Remove It Using The Technique I Like To Call
The Eridan Ampora

I'M ZIP ZOP ZOOBITY TRYING OKAY? IT'S NOT HIP HOPPING COMING OFF.

Rose and Dave fall to the floor, laughing loud enough to wake the dead.

WHAT IN THE JAZZY ZAZAZA'S ARE YOU HIP KIDDIES LAUGHING ABOUT? THIS IS SOME SORT OF GOO GOO GA CURSE, OKAY. SERIOUS FLIP FLOPPITY BUSINESS.

Dave manages to squeak out a comment through the tears.

hey
hahahaha
hey karkat
you know what i like to play
hahaha
pokemon

Everyone can see Karkat's face twisting in pain as he tries to resist the inevitable reply.

P-
PPP-
POKEYMAHN!!!

Rose and Dave clutch at their stomachs in pain as they roll on the floor screeching.

YOU UNDIGNIFIED PIGGY PIG KIDDOS! I TOLD YOU WAY BACK IN THE BEFORE TIMES WITH THE JAZZ AND THE HUMMING THAT THIS IS SERIOUS! ESPECIALLY YOU, YOU YOUPIE-DO STRIDER. YOU ARE ZIPPIN' ZIP PATHETIC.

hahahaha oh this is fucking rich haha

Oh, hahaha, oh Karkat. You appear to have come down with the case of the-

hahaha

The Cosbies.

More screeching is heard from the humans as Kanaya and Karkat stare dumbfounded.

How Does He Cure This Unfortunate Disease

Rose sits up, wiping tears from her eyes.

Hmm, well, I suppose you just have to take off the sweater.

AND HOW DO I GO ABOUT ZOOMING THE SWEATIN' SWEATER OFF OF ME?

oh gosh karkat keep talking please

NO NO NOPEADOOP.

Rose tries to cough away the laughter. It doesn't work very well.

Just taking a guess here, but that sweater probably represents all that is Bill Cosby. In fact, I would say this garment is the essence of Cosby, so we should blast it with the direct opposite force to neutralise the power. Dave, help me think of something that's the opposite of the Cosby Show.

wow okay put this topic on the list of "conversations i never thought id be having ever"
so the cosby show is all like family friendly and 80s and shit
i can think of like twenty different things that are the opposite of family friendly that we could subject karkat to
like bukkake

Um, no. I don't think we have to resort to such extreme measures.
Although I'm glad the first thing you think of when discussing non-family friendly forms of meida is bukkake.
I will never forget this.

great

I think just a butt grab or something along those lines will do. Dave, grab Karkat's rump.

what no what
why me why not kanaya

The homoerotic activity of this action would bump the television rating another step.

who are these rating council members and why are they so homophobic

Just grab the rump, Dave.

Dave makes spirit fingers movements at a statuesque Karkat. Karkat's face begins to sweat from the pain of keeping his mouth shut. Dave moves his hand steadily downwards, pausing around the outer thigh of the troll. Karkat begins to struggle, but Kanaya smacks him lightly on the back of his head.

MMMPHZIPPITYMMPH

Dave continues around the thigh of Karkat, pausing slightly above the plump right buttcheek of the troll. He wiggles his fingers again as Karkat squirms.

He presses down with a strong grab, strong enough to throw ten trees at a caber toss. Karkat squeaks as the sweater stops on a cheery scene with a snowman. He punches Dave in the face.

THAT IS FOR FUCKING WITH ME WHEN I WAS UNDER A CURSE WORSE THAN BEING PURSUED BY A MURDEROUS CLOWN.

yeah youre welcome buddy

The sweater is still there, somewhere, hidden under piles of discarded coffee mugs and wizard fanfiction.

Memories of the 80's, Cosby, and sweet sweet rump grabs.

OH MY GOD THIS IS THE BEST THING I COULD HAVE HOPED TO GET OUT OF THIS. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.
I wasn't really expecting my Cosby list to get a fill, let alone that it would be the first one of mine to be filled, and yet here it is in all its zip-zoppity jazz glory. The characters are great, and Karkat spewing Cosbyisms is just... brilliant. Perfect.
I love you.

this is transcendentally beautiful thank you so much for it

(also ive been following your other fills elsewhere and i love your writing, do you have an ao3?)

thank you! I do have an ao3 but there is a whopping one thing on it and I just drew the pictures http://archiveofourown.org/users/oxfordRoulette

planning on putting more flow-of-thought existential bullshit/crack fanfiction on it after hso ends.
