how would the entire story of Homestuck change if dreambubbles were never created?
Without Bubbles, Calliope would not have gone to the Bubbles after dying, which means Lord English would not have started tearing down Paradox Space trying to find her. The Game Over Timeline could not have happened, John likely wouldn’t get his Retcon-y powers… Without Retcon Powers, John wouldn’t have been able to go confront Caliborn in whatever Timeline the Masterpiece happened, which means Lord English wouldn’t have even been created in the first place… It would’ve been quite the boring and simple SBURB Session.
And worst of all?
Aranea wouldn’t have been able to tell us about Cherub Snake Sex.
If you have read TLCstuck, Dirk used his Heart powers and Jane used her Life powers to put Jake’s spirit into his Dream self because Lord Jack possessed Jake’s god-tier body. Do you think that would possible in canon? Like using Heart + Life powers to put a spirit into a inert body?
Oooh, I haven’t read many Fanstories, let alone ones that touch the canon. This was likely made prior to Davepeta’s Reveal, because I feel they provide a much easier solution to that kind of stuff, BUT. The Prince of Heart tearing Jake’s Soul out, and then Jane mending his Life with Maid of Life Healing Powers does sound like a plausible and fun way to use their God Tier Powers in conjunction.
what one or few changes to Homestuck would've lead to a better ending with less deaths. Also do you think there is a first Horrorterror or like some grand supreme swole boi leader
Well, there’s a Noble Circle of Horrorterrors parodying the Outer Gods of the Lovecraft Mythos, so there could be a Yog-Sothoth or Azathoth of sorts, but in general it seems it’s more of a Group of Horrorterrors than a centralized kind of thing. Not that it matters much since they’re all pretty much dead by this point.
Less Deaths though, it would require heavy chances to character personalities and such, everyone in Homestuck sort of Acts like they’re predisposed to? Hell Terezi’s entire arc is about her regret about the choices she took, and then, about missing the choices she didn’t take, so little personality or choice changes could have drastic results that would’ve altered the way the story developed. Something as simple as Nepeta not being impulsive enough to go after Gamzee, or Equius choosing to stand up for himself.
recently a friend classpected me as an Heir of Doom because of all my issues with Doom just being drawn to me, i was skeptical especially about all the rules and limitations thing (something I don't like) until I sneezed and sprained s muscle in my ribcage then proceeded to sprain my back and now i'm sick home from school and my teeth hurt and my stomach hurts and i have a headache and my jaw hurts
You may also be a Page! Perhaps even a Bard. If that’s the case though you sure do seem to be drawing Doom to you though. I’m so sorry.
Speaking on Doom and it's more practical powers, I've always associated less with fire and more with ash. Fire is very explosive and dynamic but the ash following it is stagnant and degrading. It's also tied a bit to time in the sense that its inevitability. My prince of doom's power is basically just turning objects into ash until they blow away
I mean that’s a cool connection! Honestly I only associate Doom with Fire because of Sollux’s Land and the concept of ‘burning out’.
Can we say that Rose became a Seer of Void when she turned Grimdark?
She definitely got Voidy. However, with how she had been acting up until then, the fact she actually had Casey as a Familiar, and the Active-leaning Derse imposes on Dreamers, she was actually more akin to a Witch than a Seer or a Mage.
Imagine the Beta and Alpha kids had inversed classpects: Heir of Life, Seer of Void, Knight of Heart, Witch of Hope, Maid of Breath, Rogue of Light, Prince of Time and Page of Space
Life and Breath aren’t the complementary pair, my dude. :V
Oh wait-
You’re swapping them actually! I see what you did. That’s more of a Alpha-Beta Swap than Aspect Inversion.
Do you think Earth C will eventually produce it's own sburb? And if so, do you think the players from that universe might have more of an advantage since they have more benevolent and present leaders than the previous universes? also, troll/human sessions without weird inter-universe shenanigans would be fun.
Earth-C, I’m not sure, maybe not because there’s already a Frog Temple in there from the old Session, so perhaps it’d happen in another Planet. It’s also dubious, the state of Paradox Space and SBURB in general, too- The Genesis Frog remains in the space the Incipisphere was in, in the Furthest Ring, and with it being torn apart, maybe there’s just not going to be any new Universes after Universe C. But also there could be Universes BEFORE Universe C, since the Furthest Ring is weird and non-euclidean for most of the part? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
well, could a thief of hope steal possibilities ? and if that IS a thing they can do, than does luck or choices even matter if there is only one single possibility
A Thief of Mind or Life may actually work better to steal Possibilities- Choice and Agency respectively. As we know in Homestuck though, Luck is a thing that actually exists, and Vriska very much steals it to the point where a coin toss that would usually be a 50/50 split, has a 100% chance of landing exactly how she wants, effectively removing the possibility of it ever being an unfavorable roll.
This is actually very much a thing touched upon in canon- If the Alpha Timeline predetermines what you’re going to have to do if you don’t want to die, is Free Will even a thing that exists? If you truly had an infinite amount of possibilities, and at any point, could take your life in a Drastically Different direction, then what does being ‘You’ mean, if ‘You’ can be two completely different people in two different Timelines? There’s no definitive answer to this, it’s a philosophical musing we’re left with, so. What do you think, Anon?
Is there a limit to the powers of a rogue of void? (like Maid of Life)
Yes, and No. Yes in the sense that, as I’ve talked before, there are different God Tier… Tiers. You still level up post-ascension, and you can still unlock new powers you didn’t know you had, like John learning to poof into wind. For the Rogue of Void, specifically, Roxy needs to focus immensely to do something she’s not actually in tune with- Like Wizards or Pumpkins, to the point of needing the presence of a Muse of Space to create a Space-Coded Egg.
But also, No, in the sense that God Tiers are… Gods. Their powers are supposed to be Vast and Reality-Bending, you still level up and achieve new heights of power, AND what you can do with your Role heavily depends on how you see said role. Chances are if you work around your Hero Title, you can do pretty much anything. Roxy didn’t even consider her ability to make items by Stealing their Nonexistence- But the SECOND Jade brought the idea to her, Roxy simply… Did it. It was as natural as wiggling her fingers. Because it’s just a thing that suits the Hero Title, and Roxy gave it a try.
( I'm the thief of hope anon ) .... I think that homestuck is a story that leaves so many philosophical questions, that it gives me migraines while trying to unravel all of them. also this made me realize how broken a thief of mind could be, able to steal peoples choices and thoughts and if you stretch it they could litteraly steal a thought out of there minds brining it into reality. those things combined could make a brokenly tricky and crafty ally, or opponent.
Yep, Thieves are pretty powerful Classes in general. As for Homestuck in general, let me use the words of the Big Man himself.
The thing is, Homestuck is both a story and a puzzle, by design and by definition. If asked to define it, “a story that’s also a puzzle” is as close to true as any answer I’d give.
Should all entertainment be like that? No way. But something should be like that, because something like that should exist. That’s why puzzles exist, because puzzles are cool sometimes, and are challenging. We don’t go up to a jigsaw puzzle and go, “why the fuck is this in so many different PIECES, what kind of IDIOT would break this nice picture into TINY LITTLE BITS?!!” Nor do we want all of our nice pictures broken into bits like that. Some we just want to hang on walls and look at.
But unlike a jigsaw puzzle, there’s much to enjoy without having to solve it. Fun characters and silly moments. But if you turn your brain on, you can engage with the complexity and depth. If you turn it ALL the way on, you can get everything, and solve the puzzle. There is a range of ways to interface with it, from the casual to the maniacal. Failing to grasp everything shouldn’t preclude basic enjoyment, nor is it a symptom of failure by either the reader or the story.
That was circa 2011, as far as I am aware. This, Hussie’s talk about the story being a Creation Myth, and the themes it touches upon very, extremely openly, are what really irks me when people’s criticism towards the Ending basically devolves into “Hussie never ACTUALLY intended for the story to be more Meta or touch Deeper Themes, and didn’t convey his intent properly”. Because it undermines the intent that is there and obvious. Homestuck is a puzzle, but it’s made, by design, to be enjoyable because of all the stuff that happens and the characters, even if you don’t look deeper into said Puzzle. And when the comic Ends, the story throws you something that makes you think back on what has actually happened.
For people who do not want to overthink things and are just there for the more shallow aspects of the story and character interactions, the important part is the Journey they’ve gone through, not the Ending. But for those actually seeking to piece the more intricate bits of the story together, and analyse character Interactions and events more deeply, things start to arise that really make you think, and enjoy the comic on another entire level. And these two parts can coexist without throwing ‘oh man the ending sucked and didn’t resolve anything’ around.
if you look at some of the classpects presented during the comic, some of them could have changed everything if the characters allowed it, or went god tier. A fully realized sylph or maid of space could've been game changing, a prince of hope may have changed the whole tide of the comic. sadly we didn't get any of this from the alpha timeline :(
Yep, which is actually something I would love to see explored if Paradox Space 2.0 is a thing that happens with new comics and content. Seeing the impact certain God Tiers could’ve had is interesting. We can still theorize, draw fanart and write fan stories though! And the very Classpect and Alchemy Systems are pretty much made to encourage us to do this.
I find it quite unfair that the classpects of the characters in the comics are barely touched upon by classpectors with an exception of a few popular ones but like for example: Mage of Heart doesnt have much on it besides ultimate shippers or even a Knight of Time surprisingly
I mean, by personal experience, I only talk about the Classpects that people actually request me to analyze, but that’s true, there’s a lot to draw from some Canon Classpects that you just grow a bit complacent because, oh, there’s canon examples of what they do, so you don’t dig as far in as you could. On the contrary, reading Character Analysis of canon characters with certain Classpects, also gives you a good look at certain things about said Classes and Aspects in general, and how deep the rabbit hole could go.
hey there my brother. hope youre having a motherfuckin swell time motherfucker. now i hear that youve been spraying your motherfuckin human water tube at my motherfucking messiah you motherfucker. so you motherfucking messed with him now you motherfucking deal with me motherfucker. YOU DARE MOTHERFUCKING JOKE WITH ME MOTHERFUCKER? KNEEL BEFORE YOUR MOTHERFUCKIN ANGEL OF DOUBLE DEATH AND PUT THE MOTHERFUCKING HOSE THE MOTHERFUCK AWAY MOTHERFUCKER
Oh my God, I was so confused for a second like “Wait what did I do”, and then I remembered.
YEAH. I accept the Clown Threats after this blasphemy.
"I like to think there’s only one Scratch Construct per Universe" but doesn't the Cardinal Movement exist in Aradia's land too?
There’s actually no mention of the Cardinal Movement being in Aradia’s Land as far as I’m aware of- Maybe I just missed it, but I do believe Aradia doesn’t have the Scratch Construct.
You know I could dedicate an entire blog’s worth of content to these two, right? Really, I could dedicate the blog entirely to every single individual character in Homestuck, but the Striders have some Dense dynamics. Bro was an awful influence in Dave’s life, he abused the boy, his attempts at toughening him up ended up making him despise the idea of fighting and the sound of metal and the sight of blood. Seeing as Bro was a ‘Hero’ figure to him for such a long time, he ruined Heroicism in his eyes. Dirk, on the contrary, idolized his Bro, knew of his feats and movies, but as excited as he was to meet him, he’s also just the most socially awkward person in the entirety of Paradox Space.
So we have Dave, with awful memories of his Bro, meeting with Dirk, who’s nervous to meet that figure he idolizes a lot. And curiously enough, they find common ground to talk- In their mutual hatred of what Bro embodies. For Dave, it was a figure of toxic masculinity and struggle through his life. But for Dirk, Bro is yet another Splinter. He can see himself in Bro- The manipulative tendencies, the seeming disregard for others, the lack of empathy when it’s all about ‘getting shit done’, Bro is all Dirk knows he could become if he’s not careful, and he absolutely despises it.
Getting reassurance that everything is alright from a Teenage, actually Nice version of the man that made his youth a nightmare is a good cathartic release for Dave, and having someone to remind Dirk not to become an asshole is a good reality check for Dirk. Solid Brotherly Action, 10/10, would Stride again.
I believe if you look in the panels around the mobius double reacharound establishing there's something that looks like the cardinal movement in the BG of aradia's land
That’s the issue though-
There’s not one, there’s more than one. Music Boxes and Quartz Crystals are staples of Aradia’s Land, the Cardinal Movement is just a significantly bigger Music Box, and there’s not much allusion to it. In fact, ‘Cardinal Movement’ is mentioned exactly one time in the comic, and it’s by Aranea. Which is what makes me think Aradia’s Land didn’t exactly have a Scratch Thingy.
it might not be the actual Cardinal Movement but on the Scratch Construct wikia page there's a link to a mspa page with what looks very much like the actual thing on Aradia's land: /?s=6&p=004214
*pulls out Lil Cal* hey there brother how about you motherfucking look into this motherfuckers motherfucking eyes i assure that nothing will motherfucking happen you motherfucker so stare into the motherfucking puppet eyes motherfucker
You know, the funny thing is that I have something that’s perfect for this situation, but it’s with my old Talksprite, not my new one. Let me just…
Actually, let me put this under a read more because holy shit, Seizure Warning:
As for my favorite Homestuck Songs, I don’t know if I would be able to choose but… Let’s exclude anything related to Cascade, Collide, Act 7 and Credits to not make this obvious and one-sided, because otherwise it’d be like, “Flare, Ascend and Heir of Grief” or something like that. Sort-of-Top-3-but-not-Really, would be something like…

With Condy and Jane, I tend to associate Life to Baked Goods, and traditionally speaking, regardless of current social trends, having some meat on your bones has been commonly associated with Wealth and Health. It does evoke the image of someone who’s Full of Life.
do you have any thoughts about the other sessions coming from pre-scratch earth? sburb was pretty widely released in b1 iirc so there must have been quite a few human sessions besides the one the comic followed.
Yes, in fact Fedorafreak, John’s Neighbour, initiated a SBURB and successfully died on his Quest Bed. Similarly, it’s implied by Hussie that Nic Cage actually went God Tier as well.
On a more serious note, though, it is likely there were a couple dozen Sessions that started successfully- However Rose implies everyone who tried to write a GameFAQ before her died in the meteor shower, and after John Enters, there’s only a few hours until Jade’s entry, when Bec stopping the meteor basically devastates Earth’s Surface, so the question is- What % of Humanity that actually got their hands on SBURB managed to actually begin a Session, and of those, how many made it far? Sadly enough with SBURB’s obscene requirements to Win a Session, chances are the Kids’ are the ONLY Viable Session. Like, you even need the glowing Frog sent to the past to make a healthy Universe, it’d be very likely that any Universe actually successfully made by any Session that isn’t the ‘main’ Session ends up Cancerous just like the Trolls’ Frog.
Someone proposed a while ago that a Seer of Space could "see" all the frogs needed for ectobiology. While it, in your exact words, "sounds almost like cheating" could they find the glowy frog and create a healthy tadpole?
since the issues in the beta kid's session were because of issues in the universe itself i take they probably would have manifested in every b1 session. imagine them trying to deal with that without any of the inside knowledge the trolls provided, yeesh. also, what kind of influence do you think the beta kid's Scratch would have had on the other b1 sessions, if any? do you think it would have wiped them out?
Actually, given Karkat identifies the Kids’ Rogue Jack as the manifestation of the Frog’s Cancer, it’s very likely every other Session would be completely untouched by this, which doesn’t mean Jack wouldn’t still totally be able to shank the Queen and go on a murder rampage. And while the Incipispheres are separate from the Universe, given they are still linked to Beta Earth by the copy of the game deriving from the Beta Frog Temple, it’s fair to assume the would’ve been wiped out as well. Hard Reset.
So, I got Muse of Breath a while ago on an old Ganon classiest quiz, and it turns out part of it was right! The description of the muse class had me to a fucking t, how the he'll did you do that?
Archetypes, my friend! Although broad and not specific, people can be reduced to a few categories, like the MBTI Myers Briggs quiz or the 12 Jungian Archetypes. The Classpect System is kind of the same but also more in-depth because it takes 14 Classes and 12 Aspects- Added with the Prospit-Derse Lunar Sway and your Caste if you want, and you’ve got a very specific and personal system.
Are there any true limits or disallowed behaviors in a viable session of Sburb? Considering the only known time limit is the Black King summoning The Reckoning to destroy the White Army and Battlefield in, presumably, its final form to cause a loss for the player, and the fact that its been shown possible for players to destroy or outright weaponize the meteors to spare the Battlefield from destruction, (Part 1)
Can Sburb even be called a game where cheating is even truly possible when seemingly nothing is off the table and, considering God Tiers potential and Alchemy, the options and methods at any players disposal seems quite malleable and nigh-infinite? And of course that raises the question does any of that matter when so many sessions, even normal viable ones, seem pre-destined for failure and disposal? All simply because thats how it’ll all happen in the Alpha Timeline? Thoughts? (Part 3) (Final)
I. Didn’t get a Part 2, weird. Let me see if I can infer the whole message from the beginning and the end…
Okay, there’s a thing to take into account when dealing with SBURB as its own monster, separate from the twists and turns we see on Homestuck. Because, the Loop of the Alpha Timeline is a sprawling series of events leading towards Lord English, and so while this means what’s ‘supposed to happen’ is enforced by English’ Time Loop, this arguably, only affects the Sessions with direct input in his creation. If another Session happens on Beta Earth, it would be arguably outside of English’ Loop, even if it’s still possible he influenced some events that happen there as well just by the vast reach of his nightmarish influence and his love for destroying everything, whatever the ‘Alpha Timeline’ is in that kind of Session, if there’s ANY Alpha Timeline at all, would be completely different. The Alpha Timeline is nothing more than a self-fulfilling Time Loop- The Kids play the Game because the Game created the Kids and they need to enter to exist in the First Place, for example. Anyone not made by Ectobiology, and without direct impact on Lord English’ Story, would be exempt of the rules of the Alpha Timeline, and would need to adhere to whatever Timeloop THEIR Session is restrained by, if any.
So from that basis, normal SBURB Sessions would potentially allow a much larger degree of freedom when it comes to doing things… Potentially. Because as the story tells us, what’s the difference between complete predestination and being able to do anything at any point? If what was ‘supposed to happen’ happened because of the will of the people playing the game, is it truly predestination? If you could be a completely different person in another Timeline, are you truly You? So when we get into this kind of territory, whether something matters or not, whether it’s predestined or not, you are the one who has to give an answer to this question, in whatever specific situation it’s being presented.
That being said, SBURB Sessions are so Hyper-specific and potentially dangerous that most Sessions are destined to fail, merely by the nature of how the game is built. So to counter that? There’s no behavior I can think of that SBURB explicitly disallows, other than starting a Solo Session, in which case SBURB pretty much gives you the Middle Finger and throws you into Gay Baby Jail to die horribly with a nigh-impossible Time Trial. Hell, look at Rose- She pretty much ignored her Quest, channelled the Horrorterrors to give her power, destroyed Game Constructs and pretty much anything in her way, and there was no security measure in place or anything that stopped Rose.
Can a space player increase their own size or is it only limited to objects?
Jade very much explicitly shrinks and grows the inhabitants of each Land and the Battlefield along the rest of the planet, so it’s not limited to objects. Whether or not they can change Themselves, now that’s up for debate! I personally like to think yes, they can.
I wonder, which one among prophets would be able to bypass Heisenberg's uncertainty principle? Of Void, of Space seem to be obvious but maybe Light works, too?
It would be hilarious, though, if that were the only major thing relating to their powers they can’t actually know no matter how hard they try. Imagine being able to know the very fabric of the Universe and the Secrets of Paradox Space and how everything works- But you still can’t fucking tell how fast a particle is going AND where it is at the same time. It consumes them and makes them so mad. They lie awake at night staring at the ceiling with bloodshot eyes. Also- I would personally say Seer of Space. Momentum and Position seem very Space-tied.
Would It Work: A session with no Time Player, BUT a Lord of Light who manipulates the luck and knowledge of all of his sessionmates enough to the point where their none of their actions send the session into the point of a doomed timeline.
I’ve recently speculated another main Function of the Time Player may be just knowing enough about the Timeline and when stuff happens as to facilitate or make it possible to track down each Frog and properly complete the time loops required for the Frog Hunting. Perhaps a Lord of Light could facilitate that, by just having information about every single Frog and moment in the Timeline, or making them just get lucky while randomly smashing buttons on the Ectobiology Machines, but yeah, it’d be a long shot.
You know, Ardata could possibly be a void player. Obscuring her sign is a void-y thing to do and her third eye could be a very unsettling thing which will deter other trolls (i think?). Her third eye could possibly make her a Seer of Void?
Not sure about her yet, Sign Obscuring could indeed be Void. ‘Probably Vriska’ could also mean she’s a Thief of Light. (Derse as to not overlap with True Scorpio). If she’s a Seer, it’d make her and Marvus Seers. He’s definitely a Seer, you know.
could a Knight of Rage fight like All Might but the more he gets mad the more devastating his attacks become?
The Knight or Page (Page specially I feel) of Rage would be more akin to the Hulk than to All Might I’d say, All Might is more of a Hope Player. Hopeful ideals built around a fake persona just to keep society stable and happy, dreams of a bright future…
A session with seven space players and one time player who's fed up with their shit
Frog Hunt x7 Combobob. Could you imagine how many Frogs there would be in the entire Session. (Likely not, they’d likely only have one ‘and Frogs’ and the rest are just normal Lands but ssssh, x7 Frog is fun)
that raises the question though - of the 7 space players, who has the '-and frogs' land? what if more than one of them have forges, or would skaia not allow that? conversely, of multiple time players which would have the scratch construct? this is a lot of questions but i hope you have some thoughts on them <3
Honestly, no idea. I don’t personally even headcanon there to be a Scratch Construct in each Time Player’s Land, so I wouldn’t know about that, as for who gets the ‘And Frogs’ thing, it’d be the one with the Volcano. If there are more than one with a Volcano, though, for some REASON like what are the chances of you being Space and living next to a Volcano? But… I’d imagine it would be the Last Space Player to enter. Delaying something vital and Time Consuming is something SBURB would totally do, wouldn’t it?
how could a lord of light be omniscience, yet no other light player is ? if a lord of light can be omniscience why cant the change or especially the know classes, heck could a maid of light be omniscience.
Really, a Seer of Light is already dang close to Omniscience. Rather than being fully Omniscient though, it almost sounds like the Lord of Light would have full control of all flow of information and Fate itself- It’s not like they’d be more Omniscient than a Seer or Maid of Light, rather, that they’d always know more just by nature of what information other Classes would have access to or be restricted to. On top of that- Much like Omnipotence, it’s hard to state any Class could be truly Omniscient. Even Doc Scratch, part Lord, with his Head being a very Light-related symbol, with AR’s computer superbrain, and a First Guardian, still cannot reach into Pockets of Void. He’s dumbfounded that Vriska is coming close to beating him until Terezi snitches on her, he states that there’s dark spots that fill in as the time draws near… There isn’t true, 100% Omniscience even for Lords. But by design, the Master Classes would be less restricted.
being a seer of doom sounds like torture, always seeing all the awful things that will happen and knowing what can and cant be changed. would a seer of doom have ALL the anxiety ? ( you poor seer of dooms peeps, i feel 4 u )
I do personally get very anxious whenever something bad could happen, like. Car Trips are a torture, and whenever someone I care about hasn’t been online for a day I start to get antsy. Knowing the Bad Things makes you better prepared to deal with them though, and who’s to say what can and can’t be changed without trying?
On the topic of multiple time players, maybe there is a chance that there are as many scratch constructs as time players. However, the key is to initiate them all at the same time (very unlikely though), allowing for several new Post-scratch games to exist at once. If it ends up like anything with the Beta/Alpha kids, then the sessions are merged together for one huge session. Something like [s] Collide, but on a huge scale.
Ooooh, or how about, rather than multiple different Scratch Constructs, the Scratch Construct is divided in 4. You need to Synch up all the parts to use it properly. What kind of device would this even be? With Music Boxes and Records we know there’s a trend towards music-storing devices, hmmm…
in relation to your last ask about several time players equaling one big scratch construct: maybe something like a giant instrument that needs to be tuned, but then if there's only one construct, would there only be one land? I'm imagining something like a super land, where continents/islands/underwater and or floating civilizations take the place of a normal land, and the land as a whole would have a name that, in a broad sense, relates to the smaller lands within it
Okay. I have no idea about the Scratch Construct or the Land, but you’ve just given me an amazing idea about a Session where all the Players are in a single Land, which is basically a hollow crust enveloping Skaia like a sort of Dyson Sphere.
