so what was the deal with the drama around the art in the first requiem cafe art?

I wasn't here in 2023 so that is why i am clueless

First was that the depiction of the characters. It was on-model and not like the Pesterquest counterparts. So characters like Terezi, Feferi, and Aradia look thin despite fanon and Pesterquest has them looking plus sized. People accused it as fatphobic.

They also accused the artist (who is HONE, but nobody knew at the time who made all the art assets for the cafe since Requiem Cafe and WhatPumpkin had kept them anonymous for some time) as being racist because Roxy's hair was not curly like her Pesterquest self.

The biggest thing they accused the artist the most is the fact they think she PLAGERIZED someone's edit of Roxy. A Pesterquest Roxy edit had been posted on Reddit that had her with the scarf and people were surprised to see the promo art have this. People accused her for STEALING.

The worst part of all, Makin, who is in charge of the Homestuck Community Twitter and Discord server, WAS THE ONE WHO TRIED TO CALL OUT THE ARTIST AS PROBLEMATIC despite the fact they were the same group that were given permission to help PROMOTE Requiem Cafe.

The art for Roxy was then changed to avoid further backlash.

It wasn't long until AFTER the Homestuck x Requiem Cafe collab was over that it was revealed that it was HONE who made that art. HONE is a popular Japanese artist who worked on Homestuck. She contributed illustrations to [S] Collide. She says she made the old designs way before Pesterquest was a thing. Makin did not apologize directly to her after this reveal. TL;DR People accused the artist was racist, plagiarist, and fatphobic that the art had to quickly be changed. Makin, who runs Homestuck Community, tried to tell everyone that she is this. But when they found out the art was made years before Pesterquest release and was made by Japanese artist HONE, they backpedaled and did not apologize directly to HONE. The old Roxy art with the scarf, was never released due to the backlash and we will never see the full body sprite because of this incident. I was lucky to have managed to get the full resolution of the old art before it was changed. The Jake and Jane sprites also had coincidentally had stuff like the Pesterquest counterpart (Jane's red glasses, Jake's black coat), but was changed to be separate from Pesterquest.

I did end up drawing her-- did you know honey can have a maximum of 8 arms and 8 eyes?

may i offer you some ✨ gay cats ✨ ?

Sugar Crystals from Honey 🍯

Fun Fact about honey! Even though bacteria and other microbes love sugar, honey is almost completely sterile, bacteria won’t be able to grow well in it. This is because in spite of having bacteria’s favorite snack, honey not only lacks a high water content, it’s also highly acidic, slightly more than tomato juice 🍅 . This makes it a horrible environment for almost any type of organism. Even if bacteria manage to find their way into some honey, they quickly become dormant. That’s why honey won’t spoil! This also gives honey some antibacterial properties which might help heal some minor wounds and even help fight off minor infections.

“trust your gut” is dangerous advice when anxiety causes you to perceive everything as a threat. like if i trusted my gut all the time i’d probably never do anything ever

i hate starbucks and not in the “oh coffee shouldnt be so froufrou ill just have a black coffee” way in the “workplace abuse and union busting do not go away no matter how hard you advertise the pink drink or PSL and actual cafes have espresso shots that dont die literally as they are being pulled and they arent charging 6-10$ per drink”
