Rumors have been circulating about a recent edit to an old Hiveswap news post on its website - while the supposed edit appears to have stated that the new release date would be January 2017, it has since been taken down.
Supporting this, there seems to be dubiously serious evidence that the date is legitimate, and claims that an official announcement is coming “soon”. Not that we want anyone to go overboard and re-ignite the furnace of some dusty, rocket-enhanced excitement locomotive, but if this is true, we should have some excitement locomotive-worthy news very soon.
this is more of a homestuck fandom history question, can i do that? has there been major fights over the race of the kids / has hussie ever semi-confirmed the race of a kid (i know that dave, rose and roxy have all been confirmed to be blondes)
oh my god, yes there have been major fights over the kids races. People would argue about that for days pre-gigapause. It was so bad. People used to defend their headcanons to the death, so bad. Now people don’t care that much and get that headcanons are just headcanons and it’s okay for people to like different things. Hussie has stayed mostly neutral on the topic except for a few jokes here and there. While the lalonde have indeed been confirmed blonde, I can’t recall any canon proof for Dave.
hi guys!! so happy to see the box is open again, i was wondering this for awhile: would it have been possible to bring back characters using the rings PM and WV threw into the volcano? for example eridan and feferi. we saw one ring bring back areana but i cant recall whether it was one of those :0
Nope, the rings that WV and PM threw into the volcano were the Queens’ Rings. They had no life giving powers.
I know you guys are swamped with questions, but have you ever noticed that the sprites of the beta kids are coloured in the alpha kid's text/symbol colour? And vice versa, nannasprite=light blue tavrisprite=dark blue davesprite=orange arquiusprite=red ect... I don't know if that was common knowledge but I just realized it
This is true for everyone except Jaspersprite whose color (
#f141ef
) was slightly different than Roxy’s text (
#ff6ff2).
Ok just gonna say this but back when someone asked if a troll had ever been shown with facial hair or whatever you said no however, you forgot troll will Smith
shit you got me, how could the thresh prince slip my mind like that
so now that we're on the ropic of rings, is it possible that the void and life rings are the ones from the cali's dead sesh? i know that they are not supposed to have an origion but is it possible that the rings fell into their hands at one point and became the game rings?
The Ring of Void definitely came from the Alpha kids’ session but the Ring of Life isn’t and could very well be from the Cali twins’ session, I suppose we’ll never know
You've said before that all the dream bubbles were destroyed. But I'm pretty sure nothing in Act 7 indicated the dream bubbles were destroyed, just that the Green Sun was destroyed. What basis do you have in saying that the dream bubbles were destroyed?
Alt Calliope opened up the black hole which began to suck in all of Paradox Space. Also, Lord English was already shattering reality with his rainbow laser powers.
Does it ever say in canon if Aradia has telekinetic powers before she dies? You said once that powers were caste locked, so I thought if it was something Sollux could do it wasn't something Aradia did while alive.
Yes, Aradia had telekinesis while she’s alive. Vriska mentions here that she brings Aradia along to find the ultimate juju so Aradia can use telekinesis to move it.
Do Jade bloods have to be revived (possibly by a Blood Player) to become a Rainbow Drinker or is reviving as one just an innate thing they do?
Becoming a rainbow drinker is a metamorphosis, something Kanaya had been groomed for since she was young. Being revived didn’t work because her dream self was dead and the Blood player theory isn’t really relevant because Porrim already confirmed that the condition is directly related to jade blood, not if you’re revived by a Blood player.
what are some of your favorite moments in homestuck? (whichever mod sees this) right off the top of your head. (funny, beautiful, sad, etc)
A few off the top of my head.. Vriska’s death scene, I thought it was a perfect end to her arc. All of [S] Make Her Pay, especially where Aradia came to beat the shit out of Vriska. When Rose fought Bec Noir. When Caliborn bit off his leg. When Jade was shrinking all the planets. When Roxy killed the Condesce. There are a lot of good moments in Homestuck.
How did the alpha trolls/pre scratch trolls scratch their session and then like became ancestors? I'm still confused on that. Also, how could they have been in the dream bubbles if karkat did the ectobiology stuff?
They scratched their session and normally when a session is scratched you cease to exist but Meenah decided to blow them up before the scratch was complete so they became ghosts instead.
When a scratch is initiated the meteors headed to Alternia through Skaia’s portals were switched and they were sent to a time way before Karkat’s team was born. They grew up to become the ancestral figures to Karkat and his group.
I’m pleased to announce that Hiveswap is finally actually for real happening, January 2017. Been working very hard on this game all year, and on this trailer all week. Thanks for your patience everybody, you have no idea how grateful I am.
Hey gang, Mod T here. It’s National Coming Out Day, a day when I use
the influence and reach of this blog for something a bit more
constructive. The past couple years I’ve made a post about how I’m
asexual and what that entails. I’m 100% out about everything that I am now so I have nothing to come out about this year so I thought I’d just give some advice.
If you’re struggling with trying to figure out your identity, be it sexual, romantic, gender or what have you. It’s perfectly okay to identify as something even if you’re not entirely sure that you are it and it’s okay to change a label that you were once really confident in. The journey to discovering yourself is different for everyone. For some people it’s short: “hmm, I think I like these kinds of people, I must be gay” boom done, that’s it, they don’t question it again, and that’s fine. For others they’ll take a long time and go through several identities before finding one that fits right. Me for example, before I figured out I was asexual at one point or another I thought I was: straight, bi, ace, bi, demi, gay, pan, demi, pan again and finally ace but only because I was so tired of debating with myself whether I was or not that I decided “this is what I’m gonna identify as and if I find something later on that fits me better I can always change it”. And that’s perfectly fine.
Everyone’s path is unique to them. Don’t feel discouraged if takes you longer to figure out who you are and
there’s no pressure to come out every time you think you figured yourself out. Good luck to those of you still struggling, I hope I could help at least a little bit.
It’s very likely that the slave killed by Dualscar mentioned here was the Dolorosa
The death of the Summoner, Disciple, Darkleer and the Grand Highblood are unmentioned buy it’s likely that the Summoner was killed, the Disciple of old age, and the other two by either old age or the Vast Glub.
that b1 ectobiology chart was blatantly wrong and i dont know where you got the idea that mom lalonde was the adoptive daughter of grandpa harley when theres literally 0 evidence pointing towards that in homestuck or hiveswap
Is it ever stated in canon wether or not Damara has the same powers as Aradia?
If you mean like telekinesis then yes, we see Damaras do it a couple times. She should have time powers too, but they’d be a bit different than Aradia’s.
How are the Hiveswap kids related to the kids from Homestuck?
They are (or at least Jude is) Grandpa Harley’s kids thus making them biological half-siblings to John and Jade as well as adoptive siblings to Mom Lalonde which in turn makes Rose their adoptive niece.
Why was Jade wearing the 3 A.M. dress when frog breeding with Dave?
Because she wanted to?? I dunno. Probably because Hussie wanted to show off her outfits. Since she entered so late we didn’t get to see her dick around in all her new outfits like we did with other characters.

hey so this isnt a forgotten fact but that family tree thing had me realized that the striders arent that involved in the ecto-bio-adopted bullshittery so i made you a gift.
okay so we all know alpha rose and dave exist my question is, since roxy and dirk both remember being alone for their childhoods, did dave and rose die at some point? or just leave? also, any canon info on alpha rose? thank you!
You have to remember, Dirk and Roxy’s meteors didn’t land until 2409. But yes, their guardians did die by the hand of the Condesce centuries before their birth.
What was Eridan's pet hamsters name from the headcanon meme "Eridan has a pet hamster named ______"
What Eridan hamster meme?
You see no
Eridan hamster meme, and frankly it is hard to imagine there ever was a
Eridan hamster meme, in plain sight or otherwise.
Just wondering - are jade bloods the ONLY ones who can care for the mother grub, or can other castes care for her as well? I have an indigo blood oc and her and her ancestor are basically supposed to be the momthers of the group so I figure it would be fitting for ancestor to have helped care for the mother grub - but I don't want to be going against canon.
Canonically, I believe it was only Jade bloods, but there are plenty of ways to have your indigo troll be there. They could have been assigned to oversee the jade bloods after one of the rebellions, or their lusus could have been killed when they were a grub and a Jade blood adopted them. There are plenty of loopholes to exploit.
I don’t have a favorite fact purr se, but a really good one is that in seek the highb100d we see that she ships Dave♥Tavros as well as John and WV in an undecided quadrant
