I’ve only done a small amount of what I wanted to do during my hiatus, another semester of college is upon me, and there are two fast approaching deadlines for projects I want to do. Obviously this means it’s time to post something stupid. Would you like to talk about Homestuck? The Felt, specifically, assuming there are a few fans who aren’t flipping their shit over recent revelations about Dirk Strider (I’m just assuming that’s what’s going on right now I actually don’t know what’s been happening with the fandom recently).

I know that the Felt are based on pool specifically, but there are other kinds of cue sports, and I think it would be kind of cool if Hussie made allusions to them, especially now that English has been summoned (although he was already there etc I know) and all (except maybe Clover) the rest of the Felt are dead. I almost feel like it’s the context for a cheesy sequel tagline. “All the balls have been pocketed, but the game has changed.” There’s even a game called English billiards, that would be especially funny.

Obviously, this does not require the introduction of new characters, and I think it would be both probable and preferable that it doesn’t. Still, I felt the urge to hastily draw some dumb would-be fancharacters anyway.

In carom and English billiards, there are only three balls: a red object ball and two cue balls. One of the cue balls is either yellow or has a black dot on it to distinguish it. The aim of the game is to earn points by either hitting the opponents cue ball or the object ball. This guy would be the cue ball with the black dot on it. I imagine he’s a former Prospitian. Since there are only two opposing cue balls and an object ball, I don’t think he’d be part of a gang. Maybe he’s a Problem Sleuth private investigator.

In snooker, besides the cue ball there are fifteen red balls and one each of pink, yellow, blue, green, brown, and black balls. The pink ball is placed in front of a pyramid of red balls, so I imagine the pink guy would be the leader of a gang of Felt rejects comprised of fifteen guys in red hats (I only drew one), possibly all clones of each other via time shenanigans. I think that they would be pretty incompetent and unsuccessful at whatever crimes they pulled.

I have no plans for these guys, and while I doubt anybody wants them, feel free to use them for whatever. I’m like a Spartan dropping deformed babies off of cliffs where they’ll maybe survive and get picked up by some compassionate passerby, except instead of babies they’re things no one gives a shit about like fancharacters.
