If it isn't too much work, could you list all the trolls canon/most likely canon disabilities? Physical and mental. Including the alphas and possibly the ancestors? Thank you!!!

Karkat and Kankri have mutant blood which would be a disability in troll society.

Tavros is/was paralyzed.

Sollux is bipolar, Mituna has his brain injury

Meulin is deaf

Terezi is blind and pre-retcon she suffered from some kind of post-traumatic stress about killing vriska and (I don’t know if you want to count it as a disability or not but i’m gonna list it anyway) he self-esteem was obliterated by her abusive relationship with Gamzee. Post-retcon she was constantly put on a guilt trip by Vriska about Terezi killing her in that alt-timeline.

Latula can’t smell, and has some other non-specified disorder that she takes meds for.

Vriska’s a BITCH, and was also missing an arm and an eye for awhile.

Gamzee is…Gamzee…I’m not gonna talk about him,

Kurloz doesn’t have a tounge.

Mindfang lost an arm as well


I think that’s it. If I left anything off lemme know.

forgotten hussie fact?

people used to ship him with Hidekaz Himaruya , the author of Hetalia

is it ok to message you? I rly love your headcannons and theories and stuff, and would love to discuss them, but I also know that this can stir up some trouble! so would it be ok to chat with you sometime?

You can send messages to my personal homestuck blog (strong-zahhak) for more opinion based questions and answers and discussion

hey, what was with that doomed timeline where karkat didn't send the virus and gamzee like, killed everyone? do you have any details on that?

That’s where the Genetic Code to create Doc Scartch, but there’s not much else known about it

I know this isn't really a question but I haven't read hs in a while so could you make a TL;DR of it???

It’s this webcomic where these kids play a game and their like “holy shit whats going on???” and then the world is destroyed and then some alien dudes that also played the game are like we have to work together to survive because you guys suck and made a really strong bad guy. So then they work together and like rewrite history and spend three years traveling to the new earth that they caused to exist by rewriting history. But then on that Earth there were more kids that then played the same game but the planet wasn’t destroy it was just taken over by two clowns, Guy Fieri and an alien empress and they ended up killing all the people but the planet was still okay except is was flooded. So then everyone meets up in outerspace and are like “we all got to fight these bad guys that are super strong”. Oh yeah, also there’s ghost of all the people that played the game and died and they find some bullshit thing that basically makes one of the kids a fucking consequence-free tardis. And the ghost are like gonna fight the big bad skeleton guy as like this huge army and stuff while the kids and aliens are gonna fight a bunch of other strong bad guys. And then they do! The kids win, but the ghost all die but they get the big bad anyway. After that everyone that still alive goes to the previously flooded Earth but in the future when it’s not flooded and lives happily ever after…


OR DO THEY?????

This isn't a question but kind of like a fact I just rediscovered: Mindfang didn't dump Dualscar, it was the other way around! So ye a h (Mspaintwiki is my source but you could tell me I'm wrong too. Please do if I am wrong)

That’s true, Dualscar did indeed break up with Mindfang, it was likely because Mindfang stole one of his slaves and then had the slave do some sexy stuff to her right in front of him

I know that this is a stupid point to ask about, but did Jake ever like blue ladies? I thought that was John's thing, which confused me. I could very well be remembering this totally wrong, though.

It was Jake’s thing. He kinda liked Aranea and had a whole section on his wall dedicated to blue ladies.

Although I can see why you’d think it was John’s thing as he’s canonically shown interest in more blue ladies than Jake.

Don't you feel like Alternia feels more... cruel in Hiveswap than the way they depicted it in Hoemstuck? The way they picture the relationships between lowbloods and highbloods makes it weird to think that the first 12 trolls would've been friends as they were in the comic. Maybe Xefros and Dammek do achieve something in the end of the game

Trizza makes it worse. She runs Alternia with an Iron Fist, she’s much more similar to the Condesce than Feferi ever was. Presumable after she gets killed things chillax a bit.

when does the vast glub happen in terms of hiveswap? not for a good while, right?

Feferi hasn’t even landed yet so there’s a good several sweeps before it happens

I forget, what is the vast glub again?

It’s a psychic attack that Glubglub does when it speaks, it kills pretty much every troll except Fuchsia Bloods

You said that the Trolls weren't cannibalistic and that there were different kinds of grubs. I was always under the impression that all grubs were troll grubs and that they killed them en masse for food, cosmetics, etc. Do you have any examples or statements from the Trolls supporting your stance? Not saying your wrong, just wondering what I missed.

There are a couple different types of grubs.

Here we see an instance of a Grub used as a game

Sollux also has several grubs on his floor that he refers to as games

We can also assume there is also a type of Grub that is used as food, as we’ve heard of Grubsauce, Grubsteak, Grubloaf. We also see Grubpizza in Hiveswap as well as some unnamed grub food left out in Dammek’s hive.

And Then of course there’s Grubs as in Baby trolls and the Mother Grubs

did you know the /r/hiveswap discord is constantly shit talking you over dumb stuff like mentioning hetero ships? I thought you should know

Thanks but I really did not need to know that

i was looking at the family chart and it says grandpa harley is mom lalondes adopted father?? can i ask where that happened lol

Ah, yeah, that was me jumping the gun a bit. It’s canon that Mom was raised in Grandpa Harley’s Skaianet building and there was a some evidence pointing at her being raised by Grandpa Harley.

With the release of Hiveswap we see she definitely had contact with Pa Harley but we don’t really have any insight into her life or childhood. But given that we know she lived in the skaianet building even if Pa Harley didn’t have a hand in raising her, he likely had a direct influence on her during childhood.

How did Aradia die on her slab?

That’s were her dreamself had been hiding the entire time, then Bec Noir killed her

Xefros says no adults on alternia so do we have an underage heiress running this place :0

Yeah, she’s 7 sweeps. A troll isn’t considered an adult until likely 8 or 9 sweeps

how many of the human characters have a confirmed race?

None

Is it ever said in cannon that Dave's middle name is Elizabeth? or was that the fandom?

100% fanon

how was lord english formed? sorry bad english

You english is perfectly formed *badum tsss*

But Lord English was formed when Dirk put Caliborn, Arquius, and Gamzee’s souls into Lil Cal. That essence was then used to create Doc Scratch which allowed Lord English to enter the story using his body after he died

I'm kind of iffy on the whole Lord English's creation story. Are we really sure that's the case, when Caliborn was the one to tell it? He's an incredibly unreliable narrative, and it sounds like the kind of story that he would tell to boost his already massive ego, and give LE's creation more importance.

I mean, his wording on the situation was definitely to paint himself in a good light but all the events that happen line up with the characters’ personalities and other story beats so it’s all likely true.

The anon wondering about Dirk implying to Jane that she was related to Jake; I believe they're thinking of Dirk's explanation of the future to Jake, wherein he explains the Condesce's past and Grandma English and Dirk hints to Jake about connecting his grandma's brother who inherited the company to being Poppop Crocker, but Jake is simply too dense. No biological relation, only adopted. (page 6758)

That’s probably what they were thinking of, thank you

You answered an ask about how the ancestors (besides signless) showed their classpect but you didn't include the disciple. I don't wanna be rude I just want to ask if she did at all or not?

Oh oops, I just forgot her.

Disciple- Mage of Heart: Mage’s abilities are highly speculator but for Heart (Soul) she resonated well with the Signless’s soul with them having a relationship that went beyond the quadrants. She also made the Signless’s soul stayed alive after his death by recording his teachings so they would one day be able to be spread again.

Why did karkat forbid the trolls to go to sleep on the meteor? (I understand that prospit was destroyed, but what about dream bubbles?)

A: Eveyone’s dreamself was dead and he didn’t know what would happen if they went to sleep

B: The comfy dream bubbles Feferi had made for them didn’t exist yet so when they’d go to sleep their “dream phantom” would pop up in the a random dream bubble and you get shit like [S] Jade: Wake Up

what does "graveyard stuffers" mean?

corpses

So I'm confused. The new universe where the kids are living, the one where the kids are now the benevolent gods of. That's the planet that eventually becomes Caliborn and Calliope's home planet? Does that mean John and friends all die by the time the Cals are hatched there????

That or they either move to another planet.

did we ever see what "don't turn your back on the bodies" meant? I don't remember it becoming relevant.

Every time someone turned their back on the bodies the body would disappear.

They would either come back to life or their corpse would be taken.

werent calliope and caliborn born on roxy and dirks earth tho

Yeah, they brought in to Universe C with them
