Awful desktop background I made for my playthrough of KinitoPET. Made it in the style I used to make them as a child :) Collage of my interests hastly slaped together 💗

I made it with personality in mind instead of what's statistically better. But could it still work? I know the first game is really unforgiving so I was wondering.
I'd die so I can hear you opinions on ALL bloodcastes.
I LOVE RUSTBLOODS!!! im a fan of a lot of trolls and bloodcastes but the way rustblood characters are portrayed in the comic is just too cool for me to NOT call out!!! this post will be an overview/me prattling on about the rustbloods in homestuck, and even the caste as a whole!
quick overview on time! its an aspect connected to mechanics, inevitability, death and so on. it can even be connected with music, due to the timing in bars of songs or the progression of time as music plays.
furthermore, to talk about rustbloods as a whole, theyre connected to the original sgrub players of alternia, which would be aradia and the handmaid. its important to give explanations on these connections and thats exactly what ill be doing! i havent read hiveswap or played the friendsim so i will not be using those rustbloods as a reference to look at.
the beta troll rustblood is aradia, maid of time. she embodies the time in her session, and as a maid she keeps her aspect "tidy"! aradia was especially connected to the death in the time aspect. she had died, been trapped in a body not hers, been a sprite and so on. for a while, she WAS made of death and therefore that was a way of being made of time. but when they were at the universe gate and aradia sent out all her different aradiabots, that was her way of roleplaying as a witch of time (her ancestor!), as she manipulated previous timelines to CREATE (maid word!) more time for her friends to act! though maids are considered an active class, they "prepare others with their aspect" and otherwise tend to stay in the background always tending to their aspect themselves, helping the session grow. aradia did this in multiple ways. first was when she first died, and worked with the spirits to get her sgrub session started. and we all know death/the dead are very related to time.. then, after godtiering, she travelled to countless dream bubbles, keeping those memories and times afloat, doing the "housekeeping" a maid does with their aspect. and theres also aradias off-screen timeline travels, as at one point she says shes been through hundreds of years worth of doomed timelines! all of these actions are inextricably linked to time, and even sometimes the death in it, and further proves how aradia is made of time. in the end, aradia has always been maid/made of time, and the inevitability of time allowed her to accept her challenge of self-relying easily, and shes a solid character!!
so i believe how rustbloods connect to aradia is through that "made of time" play on words! this means rustbloods can be heavily related to any part of the time aspect whether its death/spirits, mechanics and routine, or just a sense of inevitability. its loose, but rustbloods take what aradias putting down, and relate to it how they can. they also carry the self-reliance of maids, and are usually very powerful in that same sense!
the rustblooded ancestor is the handmaid, one of the 2-3 ancestors who made it off alternia. shes also a witch of time! witches are naturally rebellious of their aspects rules, which brings about their nature-changing powers. the handmaid rebelled from the timeless inevitability of having to serve lord english, and tried to overcome it as hard as she could, but doc scratch unfortunately guaranteed her fate. its also of note that witches tend to have familiars (jade with bec, feferi with her lusus) and so the handmaids would be lord english!
the beforus counterpart of the handmaid is damara, also a witch of time! she embodies her classpect in a fuller manner, as she had some free will of her own. of course, she has the alpha troll curse (NOT GETTING ANY SCREENTIME...) T_T;.... but its obvious shes very rebellious against inevitability and instead does things her own way, which is not caring too much about anything!
this connects rustbloods to doing what they want with the sense of inevitability, death, etc... time is of the essence, and they inherited the witch's powers of doing whatever they want with that essence!
overall, i hope this makes sense!!! i know aradia has like 300 more words dedicated to her but she IS the one with the most screentime..... but damara & the handmaid are genuinely some of my favorites in homestuck and if they got more to themselves as characters i can guarantee itd be QUALITY stuff to talk about!!! as usual feel free to leave feedback or add on to rustbloods however youd like ^_^
This game has caused me so much anxiety. 10/10 game
Hey those eyes you drew are so awesome!!!!
Thank you so much! (p≧w≦q)
thing I'll never finish but posting to show I do art sometimes
Sent to seek a water chip.
Went to Shady Sands and rid them of the scorpions.
Nothing but rodents in Vault 15
In Junktown helped Killian get rid of Gizmo.
Peacefully calmed the would-be revolution in Vault 13.
In the Hub, talked to Harold, got work from the Far Go traders, listen to Beth's gossip and asked the water merchants to send water to the Vault.
Killed a Deathclaw with Dogmeat and Tycho. Nasty thing
Side tracking to the Junktown Hospital's Basement
First meeting with the Brotherhood and ask to join.
In Necropolis, sneaked into the sewers and talked to the nice ghoul.
Tricked Harry the Super Mutant into thinking I'm a ghoul.
Fixed the water pump with spare parts and took the water chip from the Vault under the city.
Brought that chip to Vault 13 but now they want me to destroy the mutant lab.
Then went to the Glow.
Retrived the holotape for the BoS.
On the super-computer I turn the power back on, deactivate the security robots and learn details about FEV.
Going back to the Brotherhood. Helped fix a powe armor set.
Boneyard time!
Helped get weapons for the Blades which meant I had to go through multiple Deathclaws in order to get the Gun Runners to let us have them.
Obliterated the Regulators with help from the Blades.
Had parts fixed so I could help with the Hydroponic farms.
After recruiting Katja, I picked cultist's robe for when I go to the cathedral.
Helped the Followers of the Apocalypse and mostly learn about them.
Bought books from the librarian in the Hub and read them.

Help Irwin with his Raider problem. Got a .223 modified riffle cut down to a pistol!
Back to the boneyard to harden the power armor.
Went to the cathedral to investigate in the robes.
Went to the military base west to Vault 13 to scout it out.
Went back to the brotherhood to tell the Elder about what I saw.
Convinced the consol od Elders that something must be done against the super mutants.
With the help of 3 paladins got access to the base.
At the security computer, modified pest control to large living pest.
Locked Dogmeat in a room to keep him from dying.
Took all I could and killed all I could. On the computer searched logs for Grey, Boyarsky, Maxson and Anderson. (Only got Grey and Maxson)
Back to Computer to silent self-destruct the place.
Returned to the brotherhood to see their reaction and it was underwhelming.
Thus left for the Cathedral.
Got info from Laura, symbol to have the nightkin to let me pass and put a bomb in Morpheus' inventory to loot the key from his remains.
Once in front of the Master I reveal that super mutants are sterile.
I then stealth outta there. (Robes on so no one aggros me)
Cathedral goes boom once I leave.
I then am banned from my Vault and must roam forever.
Died a lot and lost 3 compagnions due to bad decisions. At least Dogmeat lives :)
I made it with personality in mind instead of what's statistically better. But could it still work? I know the first game is really unforgiving so I was wondering.
Just finished Mouthwashing. It destroyed me.
Play it or watch someone play it. Just trust me on this.
