Dril is homestuck. I am shaken to my core

Well ye he was literally a writer on Hiveswap

I can’t tell if this is serious or not, because it’s plausible yet absurd.

I’m utterly serious.

On the subject of Dril’s identity, wikipedia says:

Jacob Bakkila, one of the writers behind the similarly absurd and popular Horse_ebooks Twitter account, claimed to have been hired for a project by the person behind dril.[5] According to Bakkila, dril’s author is a graphic designer who lives somewhere in the New York metropolitan tri-state area.[5] John Herrman and Katie Notopoulos at BuzzFeed speculated that dril may be a collaborative project or that Bakkila himself was behind dril.[5] Bakkila denied the rumor that he was dril, but said dril was “a friend” and that dril had contributed to the Horse_ebooks sequel, Bear Stearns Bravo.[6]

At some point, people apparently made a connection between Dril and somebody called Paul Dochney, at least partially due to a linkedin page which shows Dochney’s contributions to Bear Stearns Bravo. Apparently there were further connections as well, to do with old accounts and comparisons of artwork, etc. I’m not up to scratch on the precise details of that, but an old tumblr reblog from 2014 from somebody claiming to know Dril also lists his name as being “Paul”. Why is this relevant to Hiveswap, you ask? Here’s part of the Hiveswap credits:

In addition to this, it’s worth noting that one of the 205 twitter accounts that @dril follows is Cohen Edenfield, the lead writer of Hiveswap.

Also, I spoke to somebody who did audio effects work for Hiveswap shortly after the Act 1 release, and while they seemed to not be entirely privy to the details they also brought up a connection. Now that we know that Dril is working with Hussie for certain and is a contributor to the new SBaHJ book, I think it’s pretty much confirmed to be legit at this point.

Here’s more discussion of the dril connection on reddit from after the Hiveswap release.
