β€œhomestuck cartoon animated by the hazbin team voiced by toby fox premiering on the day after the comic is scrubbed from the internet forever” is a cultural artifact without peer. the discourse this generates will replace fossil fuels. woke is so fucking back

Two butterfly cats having fun. The one on the left has their paw on the other's back and the one on the right is clapping their paws together. They look happy and are laughing.

The image is a comic comprised of a background which acts as the first panel and three panels laid over top. At the top, there's an old wooden plank with a fishing net draped over it which reads; what is a dream or nightmare you've had that has stuck with you?

The main image is of a dark shoreline, primarily indigo with bright salmon-hued highlights off the ocean and characters. In the foreground, we can see the back of one cats head; they have white and cream fur with dark folded ears. In the background, towards where the first cat is facing, there is another cat sitting close to the shoreline. She is colored similarly to the first with white, cream, and brown tones in her fur. She's facing away from the viewer and towards the ocean. This panel reads; I find myself on a beach. The moon is bright enough that it shines through the clouds. Compass is sitting at the water's edge- (there is a break) -she looks back at me.

The second panel is a close-up of Compass, now looking over her shoulder and back at the viewer. Most of her face is obscured by her long fur blowing in the wind, but her eye is clearly visible. This panel reads; I can't make out her expression. Is she sad? Disappointed? Worried? Afraid? I stay up at night thinking about it.

The next panel shows the panel from before, but further away. There is now a large wave looming over Compass. This panel reads; and then- -before I can say anything-

The final panel shows the wave crashing down, Compass no longer visible. It reads; -she's gone.

the image has three renditions of the same character. The name "Nova" is written out in blocky, stylized letters in the bottom left side, the 'o' being a star.

The character is a cream colored feline with an orange belly, orange and sky-blue striped hind legs, and bird-like forelimbs. He has a colorful tail which starts in the cream color, then transitioning to cyan, yellow, lime, fuchsia, and finally sky blue; there are stars of each color between the transition line. He has rainbow-colored feathered wings and a feathered crest on his head. His eyes are a yellow to pale blue gradient. He's wearing a shark-tooth earring, a winged-heart necklace, and red and black plaid armwarmers.

The central image is of the character balancing on one hind leg, the other raised. He is using his large tail for balance. One of his wings is outstretched while the other is tucked.

In the smaller fullbody image, he is running towards the viewer with his wings outstretched. The style is more chibi with further simplified proportions. He is winking.

The final image is a half-view of his face. Up-close, you can see the stars on his cheeks more clearly.

There is a cat depicted from the shoulders-up. They have red-hued brown fur with dark stripes on their legs, dark ears, and a dark mask-like pattern across their face. They have caramel accents on their underbelly, the back of their ears, and under their eyes. They are wearing a thick leather collar with golden or brass spikes jutting out from it. Their expression is stern, looking directly at the viewer.

The image has three depictions of the same character; the character has pale, grey-toned skin and long, choppy black hair that goes past her shoulders, some of it overlapping her left eye. Her eyes are large, her pupils and iris being nearly the same color and eclipsing most of the visible sclera. She lacks most of an external nose, having slits where her nostrils would be. Her ears are long and pointy with helix piercings and a smaller-sized gauge in her lobe. Her teeth are bared in all three pictures, unable to close her mouth completely. She has what looks to be a glasgow-smile carved into her cheeks.

In two of the images, she's wearing a half-lime, half-fuchsia button-up with a black vest over top; in these pieces, she is depicted as smiling. In one, she's wearing an oversized white hoodie which has bloodied sleeves; in this one, she looks concerned or sad, blood across her face.

two characters are depicted from the shoulders-up; one of them is a blue and cream australian cattle dog with orange coral decorations and a fish marking on their chest. the other is a dark periwinkle and white arctic fox with a light blue collar. they both have sparkles in their fur. the aussie dog looks unsure, and the fox looks cheeky and playful. the art style is mostly lineless.
