did anyone REALLY believe a larper who eats chalk and licks screens and guzzles faygo all day was gonna be stick thin? cowards. terezi was always a little chub lets face it. shes so adorable in pesterquest and i love her theme so much!
(well, chalk would kind of prevent the chub)(and trolls probably have a different digestive system so that mightve been why her canon design stayed skinny)
I really love that she has a body type that isn't shown super often, I have a similar body type and it really makes me happy to see terezi with a similar body type
Personally I think this captures the "shitty rat person" vibes Terezi has perfectly. This is the same person who eats chalk, cosplays, and got someone to save her plush from an execution across time via continuity altering retcon powers just to mess with them if a Terezi design doesn't make it look like she is the type of person to lick the cheese off a cheeto it is flawed
yeah and it's one of the two remixes lmao I feel like vriska could have had an incredible theme but both parties (the people selecting music and James roach) were either a little lazy or didnt care at all
@@ubiquitouszergio4267 Unfortunately they have a very small budget, James is making the music purely out of the love for it and not getting paid, so it doesn't make sense to expect new music for everything.
@@ubiquitouszergio4267 the budget for music isn't for new music, you get paid a licensing fee to use a song you already wrote. so they don't pay me to make new music, they pay me a very small fee to use a song that i, or any of the other artists, would have already written. for the covers, since they usually arent my original song i don't get paid for them at all. i'm not going to spend a week on a new track for every character because i have to pay bills. in vriska's case the author wanted that song and chose it themselves. i did terezi's on a volunteer basis because i already covered the song several years ago and just did some light work to mix it again for PQ. it kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth to have someone who doesn't really know whats going on call us lazy when we work very hard to consistently give the fans new content for very little money. I'm not mad at you or offended or anything but in the future please think about the kind of language you use to describe things you are uninformed about.
SPOILERS The fact that terezi's chub doesn't throw me off guard, it's the fact that she now wears a SHORT SLEEVED TURTLENECK. So RIP to literally every terezi cosplayer who thought she just wore a t shirt. Honestly, this is a bigger twist than dirk being a bad guy
to anyone complain about terezi being chub, remember that sawbuck survived 20 pages of stabbing by spade slick thanks to his lard armour a little fat does help with fighting
God this brings back memories of role playing terezi in RU-vid comment sections under my older brothers friends account that he accidentally left logged in on my computer when I was like eight that I claimed as my own account because I didn’t know how easy it was to make one myself
@@HeronHero That's not English. I can see why you're hearing English, it's got a similar ominous-echoey-piano feel, but it's actually the motif from BL1ND JUST1C3: 1NV3ST1G4T1ON (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yg41u9AejSs.html), which is itself a variation of Terezi's Theme plus some parts of Sburban Jungle. (And a track from Phoenix Wright IIRC.)
There's a lot to like about Terezi. Smarter than Karkat Best artist Charismatic personality Ace detective Betrayed Vriska to Scratch Executed a flawless plan to find the Kids Talked John and Dave into getting killed Killed Vriska And many more accomplishments.
I see a lot of people complaining that she's chubby but I don't understand why???? I actually got really happy because I happen to be chubby and she happens to be my favorite troll and my zodiac troll. So what if she's fat? Literally who cares. Please just enjoy the song.
I can't speak for the people who are just fatphobic for the sake of it, I don't think anybody can, but I feel like a good few people are just confused at the design change. I was pretty cool with Jane being chubby, but Terezi was usually drawn a lot thinner. Bear in mind that it's been quite a few years since 2016 and I haven't read homestuck in aaaages so I might be wrong about a few things.
@@abox6989 While I think there should be a little bit more to it than "Nice friendly girl who makes cake is fat," it just really doesn't make sense with Terezi. She has the weirdest fucking diet, and she is one of the most active trolls, and she was always presented as stick thin. I'm fat as shit, and I like to see representation, but I'm also a pretty big Terezi fan and this kind of feels like misrepresentation of her if that makes sense. It just seems like pandering, sort of like the June Egbert thing. Most of the post-canon content is just shitty fanfiction and it kind of makes me sad.
@@jonahamosbuzzard-roberts5963 what do you mean she literally eats chalk or anything red or colorful and was shown to be drinking a fuck ton of faygo, shes pretty careless about it and in my opinion it makes sense that shes chubby.
@@remiqeq5579 Bro if you ate nothing but chalk and candy for most of your life and lived in a literal jungle where you had to climb trees and shit just to get into your house you would probably be scrawny. Every time she is drawn in the comic in either Hero Mode, Scribble Mode, Hussnasty Mode, or depicted by any guest artist she is drawn as hella skinny, and the only reason this is up for interpretation is because of the "Fat Vriska" meme from years ago. Terezi also plays a roleplay game that involves sword fighting, combat, acrobatics, legitimate actual life threatening danger, and let's not forget this scene: www.homestuck.com/story/2053 which would probably require physical activity, flexibility, and agility that most adult professional acrobats can only fucking DREAM of. And then again, it doesn't really fit her character. With everything she does and the fact that she is seen as the weird freaky justice obsessed crazy girl, combined with her being borderline malnourished and exercising to an almost unhealthy extent she wouldn't just be thin, she should be freakishly scrawny. Like, motherfuckin bony. If you want to make make fan art or content that portrays Terezi as more representative of you or what you would like to see, go ahead. It will probably be good. I'd probably enjoy looking at it. But the point stands that adding fanmade headcanons that don't make any sense within the context of the source material to an OFFICIAL piece of content is dumb. EDIT: Also this takes place before her Kismesitude with Gamzee, so she has never drank Faygo before. She wouldn't even have been able to get any, seeing as Gamzee's source of the shit is legit unknown and downright mysterious. No one even knows how Faygo got to Alternia, or how it's being mass-produced, and Terezi lives in a treehouse far from civilization so she probably couldn't buy it even if it was being sold.
OPINION: I dont really find her as fat, more just average weight that is still in the healthy range. I appreciate it and I'm loving the Pesterquest game giving the 13 year old kids and trolls the body a 13 year old could have. I'm loving the body diversity coming from Pesterquest and I love the artist's interpretations of them. Editing Sidenote: MUSIC FUCKING SLAPS
i'm fine with terezi not being skinny as long as she's still acrobatic and fights well (I say this not having read Pesterquest and only the OG webcomic). some fat people are graceful af, plus alternians are strongly individualistic so she's gotta have good melee combat skills to survive the thing i'm most upset about in this image is just how stubby her hidden blade is tbh
@@gatedgardenhomes which also means she should have suddenly gained all that weight. Now I do like the sprite mind, Feferi's too. I think they are both good. But I don't in anyway view them as legitimate representations of the Canon characters. :|
I should also add I don't think a troll gaining weight would physically affect them the same way it does humans (I a proponent of the insectoid-adjacent troll) and since they would have a carapace I doubt it would change that drastically. Mabye somewhat but not that drastically that late in their development.
maybe there are two parts she can release? like, maybe that middle section also slides off and she can have it be more like a spear or more like a sword. versatility
Regarding the various discussions in the comments: Terezi has appeared with multiple different body types in official Homestuck media including stick thin. The point of showcasing multiple character interpretations in official media is to emphasize the fact that there is no "canon" body type for any of the characters. They're whatever you want them to be. Same with race. I really wish the HS fandom would one day grow out of making arguments about this when Hussie settled it in 2011 already.
I always kinda thought Terezi would be a bit chubby, even before pesterquest. For me Vriska is tall and lanky while Terezi is short and chubby. Basically completing each other.
This song is giving me medieval vibes, which absolutely fits Terezi's character, since her ancestor died via hanging, which was one of the medieval ways of execution.
not completely sure. id have to ask my friend abt it, but from what i know its hard to get to the metadata bc its on steam. ill ask them and see if i can get you any info
idk how I feel about chubby terezi because on one hand, she's pretty cute and it's way better than anorexic terezi I guess, but on the other hand she looks like my mom :/
@@inthevoid2722 that is not what I meant at all, I meant that a lot of people and drawings show terezi as _unhealthily_ skinny and I've heard comments and headcanons where she has eating disorders.
@@davidrigdonrigdon4848 I don't remember exactly when, I think it might have been cascade, but terezi tries to point at something but she's blind so she points off at nothing. Anyways, in that moment she looks really thin, and it isn't in the normal art style.
Perhaps, and this is just a theory, Terezi has fluctuating weight because she's being drawn by different artists who have different interpretations of her?
I like this design of her it's just genuinely really surprising giving I always interpreted her as an amazing scrawny law nerd character especially with the way she is depicted at computers or during cascade
"I'm going to join the court system to change things from the inside!" *literally loves mock trials so much that she's a literal serial killer who kidnaod and murders people for fun*
I support chub Terezi mainly because of the Fat Vriska debacle. Also because she cute, and also because everyone needs to get a little less fatphobic. Also everyone can chill because let's face it she ends up with a diet of pipe tobacco and faygo so she is not the frigging picture of health here.
I agree with everything you said but everytime I hear/see the word fatphobic I can only think of the "obesity isn't real" tumblr goers lol Edit: also, what about fat Vriska? I'm new to the fandom so I'm not familiar with all the drama
I tend to picture her as really, really thin, sort of like the Terezi Owns box art minus the physics-defying rear end. All straight lines, like her cane. But this is valid too, I don't mind it.
@@Mongopuppy people kept asking Hussie if Vriska was actually really fat for the purposes of weight kink. i think after the third or fourth time of him saying "this is a VISUAL COMIC, you can SEE the CHARACTERS" he snapped and started going along with it, making vriska more and more obese in his responses and expressing more and more undying love for Fat Vriska. well guess what. now we got Fat Terezi*. CURVE BALLED, MOTHERFUCKERS. we also got a not so subtle subtext in the Vriska episode that she was a trans girl all along. godspeed, hussie, you are truly the ultimate troll. *seriously, this tz is chubby at most.
I always saw her as the greasy slim type of nerd that is so invested in their hobby/obsession that they forget to eat. Then there's that whole red and firey theme she's got going sometimes. Plus, physically threatening puppets and throwing them out the window counts as physical activity, I think.
*She says that she's justice and the justice is blind, so she is. If you wanna know how the truth of justice feels like? It's just like sun directly into your eyes: It burn the more you see it.*
Chubby and short terezi is cool and her sprites are great fully fleshed out I'm just surprised because the comic has always depict her as like somewhat lean, kinda taller than karkat and dave, etc. Even the guest artist/animators renditions! So its not what I would've expected. Love her though can't wait to finish her route when I get time again
