Wait roxy had le hots for jane??? Wat??

I mean they are a couple by the end of the story. Poly bunch with Callie.

Trickster mode honestly terrified me. What would happen if someone was trickster for too long? Would something change, or would they just stay the way we saw?

Trickster Mode is a temporary high, so while in Trickster Mode they’d keep acting like that, and once they snap back they’d be hungover as well. Likely less traumatic, too, if it’s a more controlled setting.

Those two not being lewd minded would make sense. Meenah is just babies first Condesce, so it's likely she shares her views on this kinda stuff and Horus doesn't seem like the type to get away from his inventions much

I mean, I know it’s Alternian/Beforan Sculptures and all but Horuss totally has a Blue Horse Cock in a chest. That’s gotta count for something.

Back again to the GTier outfits, are they customizable? I think Meenah switched Thief of Life outfits to a certain degree in the Ministrife, but that could be from alchemizing them with other clothes. That would be useful for people who don’t like the default outfit, especially Bards.

They’re canonically customizable, and also alchemizable.

So John borrowed Rose’s Needlekind strife allocation, but did he ever give it back? Rose is seen using them in Game Over but I don’t think John ever had the chance to return them after Cascade.

After ascending a few rungs as a God Tier, Strife Specibi become obsolete, such as Jade being able to wield Swords. Also, Rose’s real self gave John the Strife Specibus- Rather he took it from her. Dream Selves and Physical Selves don’t share Strife Specibi or Sylladices.

I'm bummed tho. I mean, John has these awesome wind powers, Dave and Aradia have their op as fuck time powers, Jade has these telekinetic abilities, Terezi is a fucking decision simulator 3.0, Jake has the impenetrable indestructible hope ball and so it goes to awesome powers to every character (other than karkat, poor thing) and I, as a Knight of Life, have the amazing power to turn myself into a slave? I mean??

If that’s how you see your own Role, you may just end up making that a reality. Remember, Serving can mean different things, and so can Life. Interpreting it merely as Serving Others your Agency may be detrimental to yourself long-term. Think about all the cool things you could do. Serving Life to Heal. Serving Through Life by having Animals or Plants aid others. Serving through Life as in, figuratively making your enemies Get Served through animal communion or something like that. Being an amazing cook would also count as Serving Life.

Yeah but him not knowing about the 8=D implies that he doesn't know what it actually is

I mean, does that quite count for the shape of a non-human dick. Maybe if he were intentionally emulating a Hoofbeast, it would be like.

8=={|

Wow that is terrible.

Would alchemizing a lego dimensions portal with something let you go into other dimensions?

That is a genuinely interesting question. … Does inter-dimensional travel items that are Alchemized from some show or something actually work as intended? Does SBURB put any restrictions on that? Given how simple it is to go into the Furthest Ring with a fenestrated wall and the fact the 4th Wall works actually as a portal to Hussie’s place, I’d argue… Yeah it’d work.

I'm a muse of time and my friends and I decided together that I would lead them in battle by predicting the moves of our enemies in advance. My sister, a mage of mind, would gather hordes of imps as her primary attack, while my friend , a rogue of hope, would steal the hope of our enemies and give it to us and/or steal things from our enemies through our sheer hope of doing just that. Unfortunately we don't have a space player so our efforts would do nothing to help us win.

As a Muse of Time, I’m not quite sure predicting would be your forte, but yeah without a Space Player there’s little you could do to win.

Imagine using the kernel sprite to bring a character from your favourite show to life.

I’m pretty sure that’s what most people without a dead relative or pet easily accessible to toss into the Kernelsprite would do. Or maybe even having a dead relative or pet available to resurrect.

Who wouldn’t want to have Mikugrandmasprite, after all?

In that case could I alchemize a lego portal gun with a nerf gun to get a functional portal gun?

Oh God, Portal Guns would be ridiculously easy to produce, just mix any gun-like thing with any Portal-related merchandise. If it sticks to game rules though, you’ll only be able to use it on very specific surfaces.

(Muse of time anon) Well I meant more like knowing the consequences/ when to strike kind of deal

Mhmm, still not quite sure. Command Classes never struck me specially as knowing consequences or what to do, rather as shaping their very Aspect. Influencing it, and being influenced by it.

If we can prototype characters to bring them to life, could I prototype Terezi to have a seer of mind be my guide?

That’s actually a honestly really good idea.

Would it be possible to alchemize Captian America's shield?? Or even Iron man's armor?

Jade literally gets an Iron Lass outfit, she just barely wears it because, and I quote, "If you are going to adopt a new regular outfit, you’d prefer something a little comfier and less ostentatious, and if possible, in less flagrant violation of copyright laws.“

In real life, the companies can't sue you for copyright infringement once the world has ended.

You underestimate the Greed of Corporate Assholes. Let’s just pray EA is not the company to publish SBURB, or they will make the Pre-Punched Card paid DLC.

When will we finally learn about the Gent class and Piss aspect? What about their counterparts? These are the real questions that need answering.

I believe I’ve actually talked about this jokingly before, I can’t remember what the counterpart of the Gent was though.

I have numerous times gotten Muse on your (amazing) class quiz, but alas identify as male and follow canon class constructs. Are there any alternate class options available for such a situation? I'm a Life player if it helps. Thank you for your time!

I mean, if you follow Canon Class Constructs, you can still be a Muse, Hussie himself said classes weren’t gendered, Calliope represents the good, artist, fanfic-writing, theory-making portion of the Fanbase, and just like them, sometimes her theories are wrong. And the Gender-lock is one of them. Some may be coded but aren’t explicitly restricted. If you’re still uncomfortable with it, though, I would say the most similar Class to the Muse may be the Rogue? Personality-wise at least. Otherwise I’d suggest just kinda reading the rest of Class Descriptions to see if any resonates more with you!

This started as a joke, but then it lead to curiosity. What if a group of four prototyped a Friends DVD, a Fresh Prince DVD, A Roseanne DVD, and a Seinfeld DVD?

Sitcomstuck. Could you imagine the Black King though.

Are all sessions able to get to the new session made by the scratch? If so, I think we found our space player!

Only the Sessions with relevant portals! Like, the babies bent sent to the past. All the Scratch does is alter the destination of some of the meteors, so if you have no relevant meteors, you simply cannot make it work.

Is there any way to win without a space Player? ANY other way?

Without a Space Player, you just have no frogs to create the Universe. You’d need to hijack another Session.

Weren't there two fantrolls in Homestuck? Idk I heard that somewhere. If there is could you show them?

R.I.P. 20,000 Dollars.

Imagine homestuck, but instead of the kids it the gaurdians playing. (Dad egbert, Mom Lalonde, bro strider , and eiether bec or grandpa harley)

I’m imagining you mean the Adults, since, as Kids, that’s kind of what the Alpha Session was. Except you know, Nanna instead of Dad. In a way though they DID play the Session and kick some ass, they were just not the players.

Why can't other aspects have frogs? I just thought that if there was no space player, someone else would have them.

Space is very closely tied to the Frogs, it’s the role of the Space Player to both find and gather the Frogs, and remember where the First Frog was. SBURB doesn’t make things easy, you can lose for such arbitrary reasons.

I wonder if thieves can use the page of their respective aspects as hug living batteries once they've reached their full potential

I’d imagine so, they may have an easier time convincing the Knights though.

I hate that the single biggest mystery in Homestuck at this point is still Dad

It’s really not if Dad is just adopted.

Does every planet have fuschia-blood heirarchy or is it just strictly Alternia?

The Troll Empire is an Empire. They’re centralized. Every planet conquered by Alternia has the same rules as Alternia, because Condy rules over every one of them and has the same Caste System.

Yeah but he is the one character that we know the least about

I mean he’s sort of a normal businessman.

I think Dad might be another universal constant

A normal businessman who is ALSO an Universal Constant.

John is related to Jane though, so dad can't be adopted

We don’t know if Dad is anyone’s biological Son though- Jane could’ve adopted him in B1, and John in B2, because Shenanigans. 

But why do Jane and John have an identical Dad if they were born from two completely different sets of parents? The biggest mystery in Homestuck is Dad.

That’s what I’m saying. He’s Adopted. Jane and John came from meteors, not from Dad. Chances are whoever Dad’s biological parents are, they are the same on both Pre and Post Scratch, and in both iterations, they were adopted and eventually raised John and Jane respectively.

What IS the quest of the knight? We dont have much proof since davesprite did the work and not much attention was paid to the individual troll sessions

There’s not a ‘Quest for the Knight’. There’s a quest for each person individually. They’re all unique and relating to the characters- To their Roles to an extent, but mainly to who they are.

I have a question similar to celestialPhilosopher's from a couple days ago, hope this doesn't come off as dumb. ;-; I have a friend who has read through your blog and can't decide whether she's a Page of Heart or a Page of Space. Her problem is (1/?)

(2/?) that she always represses her opinions, who she is, how she feels, and what she thinks is right. This messes up he creativity, which is something she prides herself on. When she lets herself be natural and doesn’t worry about others,
(3/3) When she lets herself be natural and be herself she’s a really kind and opinionated person with lots to say and great ideas. This is when her incredible creativity really shines through, and she can create some amazing things.

Remember that your Roles should reflect someone you’re happy with- If being unhappy is messing up her creativity, and being happy makes creativity shine through, I’d say go with Space- The happy moments are what reflects your true self.

How did the post-scratch beta kids die again? Specifically Jade if thats too much.

Jade got Trident-stabbed by Condy. I can’t quite recall how John died, may have also been smacked by a Sassacre Book, but he could’ve died of old age too. Dave and Rose were murdered by Condy as well.

What aspect do you think would be more likely to notice the beauty of things or beautiful things? (Or maybe from most likely to least which would or wouldnt??) Im trying to prove a point to a friend

No idea honestly because beauty is sort of subjective? I think maybe… Space, Light and Life may be the Aspects more relating to it but it’s… Heavily debatable.

do you think being able to remain on their planet and act as though they were alive even as a ghost (like aradia did) is a burgundyblood thing or just an aradia thing?

The common theory I’ve seen around is that her Dreamself on Derse was subconsciously communing with her Ghost and letting her keep acting on the Land. Sadly, with the presence of the Bubbles, we kind of don’t have enough information about the Afterlife and Ghosts to make a proper judgement call.

Do you do classpects of characters from other things?

Sometimes, but not always, and certainly not for series I don’t know!

What series do you know?

I’ve said before, it’s a bit too much to remember and list. Just ask and if I don’t know the series, I won’t respond or I’ll just post it saying I have no idea.

Soul Eater

On my to-watch list.

Is it possible to play a session with an odd number of players? Or does it have to all be even.

Nah, can be uneven. No reason not to.

Can Time players other than the Knight of Time be able to speed up the time of the Earth? Like how we see in Act 7?

Some would be able to, not quite sure how many of them but definitely not Knight-exclusive! 

Sgt. Frog? (An anime about alien frogs trying to invade the earth. It's as weird as it sounds.)

I watched a bunch of it when I was younger! But God, it’s been literally years. 

For all the lunar sway tests I take (including the extended zodiac) I keep getting prospit, but I when I read derse from the extended zodiac I match it well, am I just bad at reading myself or am I overthinking it?

The Canon Quiz could use more questions, and a few maybe a bit less obtuse. The description is the part that matters really.

Do we actually know what the reward for completing a dead session is? If not, do we have any ideas?

Depends, I mean, Caliborn got Inconditional Immortality and a sweet Juju Weapon, but who knows if that was a Dead Session thing or a Dead Session + Yaldabaoth thing.

why does trickster mode exist?

It was a response in part to people who think others could simply get over drama and psychological issues immediately and be realistic and be happy and not creepy at all when there’s 0 conflict and all rainbows and sunshine. On the other hand, it was also a huge jab at white privilege and people feeling entitled to stuff and creepy forceful behaviors.

Fan session idea, a bunch of really close friends start playing, but right before they can close their loop this guy that everyone dislikes for some reason joins them as the last person. The guy that would have been last enters and the players realize something, they don’t have a space player. The last guy enters, closing the chain, and sure enough, the Land of ___ and Frogs appears.

Hijacking Sessions like that is an interesting idea for Fan Sessions. Specially if it ends up being helpful.

Does the battlefield start out as a chess board and through prototype kernelsprites gets more complex or does prototyping just give the carpacians and imps powers?

The Battlefield only gets more complex if the Kernelsprites have been prototyped prior to entry, yes, this is why Void Sessions are even more unwinnable than Null Sessions- They don’t even get the benefit of a proper Battlefield.

Going grimdark while in trickster mode.

I like to think that’s how you get Corrupt Tiers.

Corrupt Tiers? Those are a thing?

I mean, Fandom-wise they are. A common idea for the Jade Trickster Mode is her having this corrupted, glitchy black and white look.

Do you think the more innocent you are the more evil you will be in Grimdark ?Or is it just because of negative feelings ?

Not necessarily? You don’t even really need to go Evil when you go Grimdark. Rose was definitely Chaotic, but not Evil.
