Equius made Nepeta's tail headcanon doesn't really make sense when you realize Meulin has the same tail and she wasn't really close with Horuss and become moirals with him only after death. maybe its just mutation
Meulin could’ve easily added it to her skirt after becoming fake Moirails with Horuss, as I’ve said I personally think it’s just sewn on her clothes.
So do we know what happened to Earth B in the GO! Timeline? We know Jade retrieved it somehow, but I don’t remember what exactly happened to it. I always thought that the GO! Earth B could be a contender for Caliborn and Calliope’s planet, but I don’t know how it would escape the power of the retcon.
If it is from the Game Over Timeline, I’d imagine Condy retrieved it from Jade’s Dead Body. She shrunk it and carries it around after all, but then she’d have to find a way to grow it back without a Witch of Space, which makes the idea it’s that Timeline a bit doubtful.
The thing that intrigues me most about Hiveswap are those monsters. They can't come from a sburb session and the kids don't exactly act like they are THAT much of a abnormal occurence. Makes me think that maybe the earth of homestuck wasnt much like ours even before sburb. ... Or maybe Homestuck humans just arent much phased by supernatural shit
I’m pretty sure both Jude and Joey are pretty much like “Holy shit what’s going on?” Except Jude’s a bit more “HAH I KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN EVENTUALLY but really holy oh my god.” Not a Session, but I’m leaning towards whoever their neighbours are to have gotten like… Their hands on Ectobiology Machinery.
can a Bard have a GOOD crisis?
Doesn’t the term ‘Crisis’ already imply it’s negative?
do you think, since heart players are strongly tied to emotions and the self, that they are more likely to shut down emotionally than the average player of other aspects?
Not necessarily. They could be incredibly empathetic and have a good grasp of who they are.
I just had a thought, do you think Jade could create a pocket dimension, and place the Genesis Frog in it? Keep it safe from the black hole made by the Green Sun, so that it could live a long healthy space froggy life, and no one has to flip their shit so hard they launch into deep space over the fact that the Genesis Frog they're living in isn't that far from a goddamn black hole two times bigger than it, granted, Kanaya might need to help, being a create class where Jade is only a change class
It’s hard to tell really. For all we know they could just shrink Billious Slick and go through the Fourth Wall and put it in Hussie’s place.
What do jujus do?
Really most of them act like extra-canonical plot devices. They get shit done in the story and act as McGuffins, I mean the Ring of Life is given by the /author/ himself to bring someone to life, for example.
Breaking a session by figuring out how to alchemize a ring of life.
It’s a Juju, they’re unique.
Can you alchemize things with jujus?
Technically yes? But chances are the effects would only be aesthetic, since again, Jujus are special and unique.
Don't most animal crossing characters have typing quirks?
Rather, they have Catchphrases.
The fact that none of the highbloods have a roman themed typing quirk seems like a wasted opportunity to me. Especially Eridan with his love of warfare and history
Never say never, maybe in Hiveswap.
Since davepeta is made of two players what would you say their classpect is? I say It being a rogueknight of hearttime but that's just me
Actually yeah, Sprite Combos seem to show traits of both Classes and Aspects at times.
What I’ve been thinking about is Meulin and Kankri. Meulin as a Mage of Heart was a great Matchmaker, but that doesn’t fit with the introspective nature. But Kankri, a Seer of Blood, could see his life on Beforus as the Signless, but wouldn’t Blood, about comradery, be more of a matchmaker? Heart always felt like it would be more fit for Kankri’s abilities and Blood, Meulin’s. Though, that wouldn’t fit with the trolls sharing aspects because they share signs.
It does make sense though! Meulin just Knows what pairings will work together, she has a sixth sense for relationship stuff, and uses her powers selfishly to fulfil her Ships. The Signless, on the other hand, had Visions, seeing his Pre-Scratch life- This works on multiple levels. He saw the way the Hemospectrum worked on Beforus, the less violent Unity, and saw through his own Bloodline in a way, experiencing the events another version of himself experienced to, was attached to.
for alternate calliope to exist does that mean there's a set of alpha kids who were never contacted by calliope? and therefore dirk and roxy couldn't talk to jake and jane in the past?
Yeeeep, the worst kind of Timeline.
Which is Jade's signature instrument? The chinese flute or the bass guitar?
Although she has some songs with flute motifs, Jade’s true instrument is the bass, she’s actually pretty bad with the flute.
Hello there, I was taking your quiz and got a tie between an Heir and a Prince, I assumed they were quite different from each other but do they share any similarities?
I mean, not much that I can think of! They’re different questions for each of them so it’s likely just my Quiz not being the best.
Hey don’t say that! Your quiz is easily one of the best class quizzes I’ve ever seen and it’s definitely helped me narrow down what my classpect could be. I can tell you put a lot of thought into it and you should be proud, and besides it’s probably not the quiz as much as it is me being unable to make up my mind :p
:V I mean I appreciate it! But I just feel Quizzes are, by definition, flawed, because you can’t quite predict everything going through a person’s mind with limited options, and sometimes association works in different ways for different people. That’s why I focus mostly on the descriptions than the questions themselves.
Do you think the Hiveswap trolls have jobs? Like Tyzias as a writer, Boldir as a detective, Charun as a gardener, Skylla as a pilot, Vikare as a pilot, Lynera as a teacher, etc...?
Skylla as a farmer*
Most of them likely have temporary/provisional jobs to train for their Ordeals, since I don’t think most of them are old enough for that. Chahut is likely a full blown Subjugglator at this point though.
Where did Vriska find Scratch's Magic Cue Ball?
Where she found Mindfang’s Journal.
@mod: who do you prefer? Grimbark!Jade or Crockercorp!Jane?
Gotta go with Grimbark Jade! Love me some villainous dog gal.
How could the trolls and humans communicate? I get that the chat had some sort of translator, but when they were together in person on the meteor... how?? P.S. Bless this blog it's so helpful
Trolls actually, physically speak English. Given the Alternian we’ve seen is pretty much just a replacement language, it’d seem both languages are exactly the same, just with different symbols.
How would you recommend adding a soundtrack to my fanstuck comic when I make it?
I have no idea honestly, I’ve never made a Fanstory, I have no idea where to even begin.
The thing is, I want to do a soundtrack but keep it in a format good for tumblr
Yeah again I just. Have no experience with this stuff? Audio on Tumblr is messy too in my experience.
Did Calliope's and Caliborn's Chess Juju ever get a proper explination as to what it does? Or is it literally just a chessboard for them to while the hours away with?
Meenah mentions it being a Juju, but honestly there was nothing special about it other than the fact it was a Red-Green Cherub Chess Set.
Can sprites die other than exploding?
Come to think of it, no Sprite ever dies in Homestuck, but Davesprite got heavily wounded so I’d assume it is possible.
What happened to all the trolls sprites?
All dead via Bec Noir, presumably.
How do the trolls (and Callie) speak English? The trolls created the human universe but Earth developed without their influence, so it's not like humans inherited the language from their troll-gods. Could there be some kind of influence from the person English, somehow making everyone in every universe he's in speak English? That's the only thing I can think of besides just a massive oversight on Hussie's part.
Suspension of Disbelief.
How did Calliope and Caliborn play Chess with each other?
They went to sleep to let the other wake up and have their turn.
could an heir of life shapeshift into animals, plants, or people? Since they "become life"
There may be a degree of shapeshifting or losing form if we’re equating it to John poofing, but it’s hard to tell to what extent.
Headcanon: The Serkets' vision eightfold eye can be transferred to younger generations, just like the Sharingan
Does that mean the Serkets could unlock the MANGEKYO VISION EIGHTFOLD?
If the Sufferer never had Cancer-shaped handcuffs, then what would be Kankri's and Karkat's sign? Or Paradox Space would have made a way for both Kankri and Karkat to be Cancer's?
They would’ve found something to represent it, I imagine. What, though, who knows.
the thing i love about homestuck that it doesn't *feel* like it ended. it's not like most series where it ends and then it's over, because there's still so much to be explored in the story, the characters, and in the way the world of hs works. not to mention the literary analysis! it's such a cornucopia of material, especially now with the release of hiveswap. homestuck truly keeps hapening.
Hussie himself said that Homestuck was a story that was a Puzzle. The ending gave us the last pieces we needed to get most of the puzzle done, and it really is a shame that some people just went in already burnt out and somehow wanting everything to be resolved, when the story has always been something with more depth to be explored.
could a bard of void "invite the destruction of void" by asking questions, allowing them to be answered, but never answering them themselves? or would that be more a maid or sylph's job, "creating void" by asking more questions which nobody has asked before and pointing out holes in the group's understanding of things that people may not have noticed before?
Ooooh that’s actually a pretty interesting take on Destroying Void, yeah! I like that.
Does Green Sun-powered beings naturally emit green sparks?
Actually, the Green Sun’s power auras, energy blasts, flames and such are green, but the crackles and sparks that seem to happen naturally (On both Doc Scratch and Bec) are normal, yellowish electricity.
That Bard of Void question was interesting, because I was thinking that the whole asking questions and never answerijg them felt Light Destroyer classes, as a kind of use of Void-coded things in service of light.
A lot of times you can twist Classpects around to do things you wouldn’t think they’d be able to do, like… Look at Roxy. She ‘steals the nonexistence of an idea’, and makes things real. You’d think a Maid or Sylph of Space would be the ones in charge of Creating Things from nowhere, but, there she is, the Rox.
Didn't gamgam raise the cherubs? In that case it would make sense for them to speak english.
He did raise them, or at least take care of them until he locked them in the Meteor.
I often see the mind aspect tied to mind control of others, but what class do you think would have complete control over their own mind? That sounds simple, but I mean like having full control over thoughts/emotions/memories, you could make yourself a walking encyclopedia.
I think for a complete control you would need BOTH Mind and Heart, one of them may not actually envelop the entirety of it.
I agree that Homestuck is so great because there is so much to explore, but I can understand why some people want all the answers. While theorizing is fun, some people just want the answer and nothing but the answer, which is why I like the Extended Zodiac so much. It doesn’t spell out everything, but it confirms a lot. There still is that room for theories and speculation, especially if we aren’t getting official class descriptions.
I mean, I do understand that, and I respect that! Homestuck, in fact, has a lot of value just by what it is, the intrigue, the story, the characters, there’s a lot to love without going in deep. But I dislike when people explicitly say Homestuck is bad because it’s a complex story that makes you work for the answers.
okay WHAT IF you put caliborn and gamgam in a sprite, THEN get another sprite and put gambornsprite in it with ARquiusprite?
Englishsprite^3
You said it yourself that sometimes you can twist aspects to do what you weren’t really expecting them to do, but even if it worked what class would have the best chance at it? (mind/heart ask)
I mean, technically one of the Master Classes would have the advantage no doubt. One of the Know/Change Classes may work though.
So aspects sometimes have qualities of their opposites right? How would that work with time?
They’re one of the most complementary pairs, they’re building blocks of a physical reality, without a Physical Space or the Perception of Time, nothing would happen, so you could tie both to existence in general, perhaps? Energy and Entropy perhaps?
What would happen if we prototype a kernel first with Jasprosesrite and then with Davepeta?
Freudcatsprite^4
I'm sure Ardata works with Marvus at the circus, that's why she hid her sign too
People have been thinking it could be a Freakshow Circus. Three-eyed Cerulean, Twin Purples…
If you had the chance to meet one of the Homestuck characters in real life, dead or alive or otherwise with no physical, emotional, social or other such limitations to prevent it, who would they be and how would you spend time hanging out with / talkin to them?
I think. Jade? I just love Jade so much. I’d give her a biiiiig hug and toss her down the friendship stairs.
As a Witch of Space, couldn't Jade bend space to make a wormhole during the 3-year trip in order for it to take less time?
Space works weird in the Yellow Yard, I mean girl took 3 years to cross one yard after all. Her powers were also limited due to the lack of influence from the Green Sun, so she was already carrying the ship as fast as she could, arguably.
Re: that ask about Homestuck not feeling "Over". It's also true that technically the universe isn't over! Hussie himself has gone on record stating that he wants to do a lot more with the universe, and Hiveswap had decent chances of hooking back in to the main story, if Scratch's inclusion has anything to say about it, even if in a small way. I've got a distinct feeling that "solving" Homestuck would leave us with only the outline of a much, much larger puzzle. It excites me to think about!
If you’re excited about the prospect of Hussie expanding on the Homestuck Universe through Hiveswap and what comes next, then oh boy do I have the thing for you!
Kudos to @revolutionaryduelist for his amazing theories.
I'm amazed how the horns of the Nitrams and the horns of Dammek are still intact from their cumbersome size, yet Equius's right horn is already broken
Well, Equius is pretty strong and he builds robots just to beat them up, chances are he broke them doing something like that. Then again Dammek is constantly dealing with weaponry so it really is a miracle his horns are intact. I’d imagine they’re not easy to break though.
honl.
hink.
What do you think would happen if someone prototyped their kernelsprite with a cruxite dowel?
I think a Cruxite Dowel may be a bit too basic to actually be Prototyped, but who knows you could end up with like. A Dowelsprite, just this. Shiny pillar of cruxite instead of a head.
Bec Noir's scar on his eye was from the Harlequin, right?
Yep, the scar, the missing arm, and the ¼th shredded Jester Hat.
