Description So ever since 'It's Been A Hard Life' AU Rose sprite existed, I've wanted to pair her with Red!Kanaya. Just because it's my OTP and it works in my head. Rose with a drunkard mom and bruises from bully's and dirt poor... I imagine she'd be one of those introvert, shut in cases. Very quiet, hard to talk to, but elegant and well-spoken and a bit needy when opened up.

And no, it's not connected with adamantApoplectic 's Red Dead Virgo AU, or at least I tried not to. (Didn't want to with the who Vriska thing already going.) Kinda hard when it already exists though.
So anyway, Kanaya applying some of here lipstick to Rose, because she's never worn makeup before. (And before you ask, its her only tube and she found it.)

Apparently we're trying to out-heartbreak each other. (Except not, because that's depressing.) 8)

(c) AH with concepts from aA's AU.
art (c) me.

You have earned my approval for this art, keep it as a treasure or use it as currency in Niger.

This picture. . . Even though Kanaya is all cut up and what not, she is still able to care for Rose! Why are AU versions of everyone so wonderful to pair up?

And I've noticed some comments asking for the sprite. Guess what I found! [link]

Ah, it's not really an AU story. AU Hard Life Rose was
just one in a line of Rose sprite edits Aa made and I thought
it fit well with Red Kan, so I stuck em together.

Daww, uber cuteness.

How come I like so much homestuck fanart when I don't even read it. BLASPHEMY

Kisiki In reply to This-Is-Stan [2010-11-22 19:11:50 +0000 UTC]

That's pretty much the story of how I got into Homestuck.

You come in for the fanart.
You stay for the story, characters, and delicious AU's, such as Red Dead Virgo.

This-Is-Stan In reply to Kisiki [2010-11-22 23:10:35 +0000 UTC]

Basically how I got into Death Note. I saw some really cool cosplay and art from it two years before it came to the US. And then when it did I jizzmed.

I'm a sucker for romance, and a sucker for drama. I'm sobbing waterfalls of joy and sad at the same time! They make such an adorable couple aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ;A;

Kisiki In reply to pnpmario [2010-11-22 07:55:46 +0000 UTC]

Don't they though?
I was never fond of Vris/Kan even before it was an option,
so they've kinda been my Fem-TP from the get-go.

Gotta love this fandom, it finds ways you'd never think of
to keep your pairings interesting. (And it's got great AU's.
It's the only other fandom besides HINABN that I've actually liked AU's.

pnpmario In reply to Kisiki [2010-11-22 08:22:08 +0000 UTC]

Vris/Kan is something I'd never see working, mostly because of Vriska.

As for AU's, I've been a fan of those since DC's Elseworlds series. There's just something about taking a setting and flipping it upside down to find even better stuff.

I've seen the Red Dead Virgo fic, but I haven't seen that Rose... and now I really want to. Could I have a link please please please?

Kisiki In reply to Karokisho [2010-11-22 01:40:55 +0000 UTC]

Ah, she isn't part of the fic and aA told me the kids would probably
never be used in it, but the Rose sprite came from this lineup.

Always my OTP.

I love drawing faces but I still have a long way to go. 8T
(I honestly didn't have it being sad in my head, it was more like
Kan trying to comfort her, but I guess it came out more emotional
than that. D8 )
