Ok heres the request ted4ever you happy now :)


It was that time of day again. Every day at exactly 4:00 your secret friend came.You worked in a beautiful garden there was a huge bush that blocked of the outside fields. One day you  were planting some lilacs when you heard a little voice "uh.....hi." you wondered where the voice came from you listened "my names um....tavros,tavros nitram." It was coming from behind the bush "hi tavros im (name) why are you behind the bush?" You heard creaks like metal "that's my secret, i came here because i think your garden is beautiful um...(name)." You giggled "well thank you tavros. Since your behind the bush with your secret you'll be my secret friend!" You smiled wide you didn't have many friends , mostly just john and company , and a few trolls. "That's really nice to hear, i have to go though but ill be back i promise." He's kept that promise everyday, for eight months now you were clearing a new flower bed when tavros arrived "hey (name). You brightened at the sound of his sweet voice "hi tavros." You two continued your usual routine first up flowers then animals and last school. Tavros was dating a girl named vriska she was terrible to tav she would pick on him and then call him,"cute" he had brought her once she was very rude to you she even shoved a box through the bush containing bunches of spiders they all crawled out onto you, you had an intense fear of spiders you began to scream as vriska laughed while looking over the bush "look at her tavros, she's such a wimp!" He became very upset and flustered at being unable to help you "vr-vriska! That was terrible." She turned to him "shut up tav, im just having a little fun gog its not like they were poisonous your so uptight." She stomped of but not before what you suspect was slapping tavros. You sat there crying the spiders would ruin the new flowers, that girl was terrible. Tavros was speaking about her now "she um....got really upset and ripped up my pupa pan book." His voice sorta cracked  "tav are you ok?" He sniffled " she's the worst matesprit ever! But shes probably the only one i can get because of...my secret." You decided to do something "tav ill be right back." He sniffled some more "...ok." you hurried inside you picked a pretty white and brown vase, you went back outside and picked several carnations six white and one pink. You arranged them and put the pink one in the middle and headed back to the bush "tav?" "Yes?" Can i come and see you?" You heard a big squeak as if he had jumped on something "um.....yes but only if you promise you will still like me afterwards." You grinned "tavros i could never not like you, your the sweetest boy ever!" You rushed with your vase ready to see tav for the first time, you were approaching the bush when you saw a young troll hanging his head his horns were large like a bulls, and he had a wheel chair. That's tavs big secret he cant walk all those creaks you always heard were his chair "tav?" When tav saw you he jumped a little, you were even prettier up close he thought. "(N-name)." He frowned a bit a brown tear slipping down his cheek "well this is my secret, im a cripple." You sped over to him, placing your flowers by his side as he sobbed into his hands "now you'll treat me differently, and you'll never return my...." he stopped as you hugged him close "tav, i wouldn't care if you could walk or not , you were sweet and kind and that's why..... that's why im red for you."  Your face heated up as a brown streak crossed tavs face he smiled and squeezed you closer "im red for you too (name)! I have been for a long time i just worried you would only think of me as a friend." You giggled "well tavros, you are only my friend...unless you wanna be my matesprit?" You were familiar with trolls way of saying relationship terms. Tavros seemed to perk up a bit you looked up to see him smiling wider than you think someone could "i would, if you'll give me the honor." You both giggled "ok tavros i give you the honor of being my matesprit." You lightly kissed him, he quickly kissed back you deepened the kiss by wrapping your arms around his neck, you both came up for breath. "Flushed for you." He smiled "flushed for you too tav."
Extended endin
You walked into the park noticing a rather rude troll yapping away in your friend kanaya's ear you ran over oh you wanted to do this ever since tav dumped her. "YO VRISKA!" You boomed she turned "what is it you bitch!?" And with that you ran up and kicked vriska in the taco. It was a great feeling as you ran from the now pissed spider bitch. XD

This is how I made my Tavros horns.

Things You will need:
1. Paper mache mixture (I used flour, water, and news paper)
2. Styrofoam
3. red and yellow paint
4. styrofoam glue
5. and something to cut the styrofoam with
6. sand paper (a handheld sander works better)

1. Draw the shape you want your horns to be on the styrofoam.
2. Cut it out. Depending on how thick you want your horns to be you have to glue your styrofoam pieces together unless you have a thick enough block.
3. After the glue is dry, Sand the horns so that they aren't so square looking and actually look like horns.
4. once they're actually rounded like you want them cover them with the paper mache. After this dries you might want to do a second coat.
5. Then once they are all papered up sand them again!! But not so much that you tear hole in the mache.
6. After that you paint them, put some clear finish on them to make them shiny!



With the issue of attaching them, sorry your on your own. I attached mine with screws on the inside of the wig. But the srcew are trying to tear from the styrofoam. So if you do this be careful not to strip the foam.

An update on Tavros

Journal Entry: Sun Feb 24, 2013, 8:47 PM



Today we went to the vet, and he told us that he will be fine! c': The WORST option in his case would be his leg getting amputated. Tavros' leg needs to heal for about 6 weeks then he's going to get a brace which will still cost $1100 - $1200. Thank you for all your support so far, I love you all so much! <333333333
Please give all your love and watches and llamas and everything to these amazingly kind, beautiful, generous people:

Okay. Here.



There's just something I don't get. I never got it, and I never will.
Why do so many people think domestic abuse just involves a man hitting a woman? ((As in the relationship type of abuse, not children domestic abuse.))
Women beat men too. They really do.


The world of domestic abuse isn't just men hurting women. I really don't get it.
Majority of ads, and people talk about men hitting women and how we should "Stop all abuse against women"
How about,
"Stop all abuse" because that works better.


I really don't get it, really. Are people just being sexist?
Or are they just to ignorant to actually NOTICE that abuse comes from all genders against all genders? Seriously.
But yea. I had to let that out.
:I
If you don't like it you can fuck off.



One, my last journal. Cunts that think they can go around spreading the word, and making other people feel horrible.
Like, really? Really? Do you fucking think you can go around splashing flames at other people about it?


Two, people who CONSTANTLY complain about their life, when it's easy as fuck. They get punched once and they're just like,
"OMG! I HAYTE LY LYFEEE!!!!###@!!&!&^!^!11111!!!!Q*!*!&!^!%$!$#!#323421!!!! I WANNA DIEEE!" I mean, wait until you've experienced something real.
Like being actually suicidal, and having problems with your family n shit. Other people have that, not you, you stupid asshole. Go be an attention whore somewhere ELSE.


Three, people who say "OMG I CANT DRAW I SUCK SOOOO BAD OMFFFFF!!!@!!!#!#&!!" Bitch, you can try. I mean, I've said I'm bad. But I'm improving slowly. It happens.
They complain and complain saying they have no talent, and then steal art, some of them. If you fucking try, you can improve. Stealing art/recolouring isn't a good thing. Jegus.

Four, and last, is trolls. I mean, not all types. The trolls who have horrible art themselves, and they won't bother to improve, which could *OBVIOUSLY* happen because everyone can draw at some point, and go telling other people to, "CHANGE UR ANANTOY! ITS HORRIBGLEEEQ!!!!*!*!@ I CANT BELVIE U HAVE FRIENDS AND PEOPLE SAY UR ART IS AMAZINGDIUAFHFHQA1!!!!!111!!" It annoys me.
A lot. Go improve, then come back and give positive feedback AND some improvable feedback.


Kthx guys. Don't agree? See if I care. Bye. c: Not aiming this at anyone, again.
Okay so i made this whole speech thing because i want people to know of this.
If you want to repost, copy and paste the text in bold.

Hey everyone.
There has been confusion with the definition of a ''Patron Troll'' and I hope I can explain to you.

Here is the definition of a patron troll and astrological troll.

Patron troll- A troll that a human either acts like the most or trusts the most.
Example of a patron troll: John with Vriska and possibly Rose with Kanaya.

Astrological troll- A troll that represents the same zodiac sign as a human.
here are the dates so you know who you are:
Aries Aradia)- March 21- April 19
Taurus(Tavros)- April 20 - May 20
Gemini(Sollux)- May 21- June 20
Cancer(Karkat)- June 21- July 22
Leo (Nepeta)- July 23- August 22
Virgo(Kanaya)- August 23- Sepember 22
Libra(Terezi)- September 23- October 22
Scorpio(Vriska)- October 23- November 21
Saggitarius(Equius)- November 22- December 21
Capricorn(Gamzee)- December 22- January 19
Aquarius(Eridan)- January 20- February 18
Pisces(Feferi)- February 19- March 20

So John's would be Aradia and The others would be Equius I believe.


So there you go.
Now spread the word and repost this.
Thank you.

Hnn Tavros Cosplay

Journal Entry: Mon Feb 6, 2012, 11:50 PM
Commission Price Guide, Info, and Form
Commission ToSCommission FAQ

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~START JOURNAL

Wow I just spent like the past four hours researching Homestuck cosplays.  I think I've mostly figured out how to do most things, it's just a matter of collecting the materials.
And wow lemme say if this turns out well it will be like my first legitly awesome self-made cosplay.  XD  I pretty much always buy them but I can't do this with Tavros!

My check list atm is as follows:

Makeup:  Pretty much all check
I've ordered the skin makeup and some tights for my arms, and I'm about to go buy some ears offa ebay in just a moment.
Everything I didn't get online I'm gonna go buy tomorrow when I go shopping, which includes
Makeup brushes
new eyeliners
black lipstick
eyelash curler
wannabe primer
nail polish (yellow + clear)
grey thread

Teeth: UMMM kinda check?
I think it looks like everyone uses nonstained Gremlin teeth from Dental Distortions or whatever that site is yes?  I'm kinda waiting for a doublecheck on these; like someone who's used them and has pictures of them to see if they actually look legit.
But wow I've found SO MANY different ways to go about this from black tooth shit to wax and just wow everything in between. XD

Horns: Know what I'm gonna do check
For this I currently need to go out and buy
foam shit
some fleece/padding
elastic
paint

Clothing:  I still need everything here pretty much
shirt - gonna try and find a plain black T and then probably do some thrift shopping for a button up for this jacket-thing
freezer paper for the stencil - gonna try and get this tomorrow while I'm at Freddies :'o
some sort of tights/something similar to maybe make robo-legs?  I think this would be pretty cool if I could do something like for what I've seen people do with Vriska's arm.  But in the mean time I have some black jeans.

As far as the hair goes I'm planning to do a fauxhawk with my own hair, but I'mma wait to get it cut until I have everything else together. ; u;


ALSO WOW NOT THAT ANYONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THIS I just really like to plan/write out my thoughts and I'm like waaayyy super excited about this cosplay.  LIKE YOU HAVE NO IDEA. ; uuu;
I know Kumoricon is like FOREVER away but who knows maybe I'll miraculously manage Sakura Con and in the mean time there are always Homestuck meets. :9
