April 2018

Hi! I have a question. What classpect would someone have, if their main goal is making others happy and laugh? I was thinking in the way of a Knight (serving others happiness), but I have no idea for a Aspect...

You can make others happy through various different means so, it’d depend? It’s not exclusive to a single one sooo, yeah.

if a few people managed to get a hold of sburb on Earth C, would a carapacian be able to play?

Technically, yeah. I mean in a way the Kids still likely have their SBURB discs around, I bet they’re still replicable and usable.

if/when the black hole stops consuming Paradox Space it'll slowly die due to Hawking Radiation and explode in a violent cataclysmic event creating a new Paradox Space and since LE got sucked in there could be some time shenanigans involved so that version of Paradox Space has always existed. Basically the Paradox Space before was the same Paradox Space created by the black hole, making it a LITERAL Paradox

It could be, but also, consider: Physics may not exactly apply as they do in the real world, so it could go several different ways.

if two people share a classpect then would they have to act if not the same similar in some cases? ex a maid of breath one acts confident/straightforward the another acts detached/ overthinks.

They’d have similar personality quirks to an extent, but there’s different ways to relate to your Aspect and your Class, so two people with the same Classpect could be pretty notable different. Likewise, two people who are pretty similar could be two completely different Classpects. It depends on the specifics.

Do you think it’s possible to find any new versions of SBURB or SGRUB on Earth C

There’s no such thing as ‘new’ versions of the game, the game’s just the code that opens a Gateway to the Medium. And I mean. The Frog Temple should still be on Earth C shouldn’t it?

Consider this: [B]riska

🅱raska

What do you think would happen if someone played SBURB, went god tier, beat the game... and then played it again?

You can’t God Tier twice, and chances are your Land would be different because you’ve hopefully matured somewhat through the Session.

Aren't the kids' denizens their Web browsers? Because I know Jade uses Echidna at the beginning.

Yep, their Browser Names and Icons foreshadow their Denizens.

Can you give Homestuck a title like one of Karkat’s romcoms?

I feel if I wrote something long enough to encompass the entirety of Homestuck’s plot in detail, the post would be so long Tumblr would just crash.

what makes you not answer some asks?

Depends? Sometimes I feel the wording of the ask itself is kind of trying to twist it so I answer a specific way I don’t agree with, others may have controversial topics I don’t feel in the mood to tackle at that time… Classpect Questions, specifically, I tend to delete if they’re on anon and I have already answered them, or if they’re asking me to answer such a specific scenario that it feels more like a personal life assessment that makes me a bit uncomfortable. Other similar personal things, and the occasional link or art or more personal experience will occasionally go through but generally I tend to not like using the Asks to hold a conversation. I will generally answer most asks I get sent off-anon, even if it’s in private. I don’t have a specific set of rules, and sometimes I just kind of. Accidentally delete asks I didn’t mean to. I’ll admit once or twice I have deleted questions I thought were a bit too obvious or would’ve needed an extremely long explanation if I’m feeling down or too tired. But that’s very rarely. :V

Yeah on the topic of Earth C and SBURB. Would it just potentially be a New Game+ for the survivors of the previous session(rather amalgam of sessions) if they choose to join and help out in the new one? (I know it sounds awful to expose oneself to all of those horrible experiences again, but just for the sake of the success of the new people that are thrown into the game, you know?)

A New Game+ is an interesting way to see it, huh. Non-God Tiers may have the chance to go God Tier, and God Tiers would just be utterly overpowered from the beginning though, so… I do wonder if the enemies would escalate with the Players’ levels.

could a class other than seer and mage be able to tell the future somehow?

Not ‘tell the future’ in a, just magically knowing stuff sense, but other Classes could be good information-gatherers to tell what’s going on- Specially Time Classes if they’ve just. Been there in the future to go back. Similarly, they can be good strategists or like, not knowing EXACTLY what’s going to happen, but just being good enough at anticipating their foes’ next move.

what superpower would you die for? also if you could add one thing of your own choice into Homestuck what would it be and why?

If I could add anything into Homestuck… I honestly don’t know, maybe the intended Heroes of Light Flash with Rose and Vriska fighting Noir, maybe I’d have some Headcanon made Canon, like, Trans Roxy is a big Headcanon of mine. So maybe that? But I can’t think of anything major. Powers though- Unrestricted Time-Stop.

Considering a group of players gave up on winning the game and instead used the ectobiology equipment + God tier shenanigans to start another civilization within the Medium... ... Would this new civilization be able to play Sburb one day?

Eh… Hard to say? I don’t know if SBURB allows for Sessions to start within itself, it seems a bit recursively messed up.

I'm rereading the webcomic, and Jade just said in reference to the green sun, "a sun presiding over many universes has to be pretty cosmically important. who knows what terrible consequences there would be if it was destroyed." Do you think this could be foreshadowing as to what the epilogue might be about?

The Epilogue is most likely going to be positive, it may continue and conclude some conflict but I don’t think it’ll raise anything too new. The terrible consequences is? Reality IS being torn apart, but, English was already destroying everything as well. The Bubbles, all the Ghosts, everything’s getting dragged in. On the other hand, however, English is done for thanks to it, so Paradox Space is the sacrifice to be made to stop Big Buffskull’s rampage. If anything the Epilogue may deal on how the Breach affects Reality as a whole, long-term, now that it’s kind of. There. Sucking.

How long did Tavros actually know Jade before confessing to her?

A few hours. Jack arrives to the Troll Session 10 hours prior to him destroying the Genesis Frog, and Tavros goes to stop Vriska 3 hours prior to the Critical Event. Furthermore, he’s asleep for a while and has his robo-legs implanted, which means at most, if he literally spent every other waking moment he wasn’t chatting with anyone else, watching her life unfold, I’d say about… 5-6 hours?

Hey, could ya say what diferents god tiers the Homestuck characteres can have? I mean, everyone probably identifies with more than 1 god tier, right? So the Homestuck characters probably have another god tiers, right? (Sorry if this question is kinda confusing, my English is bot too good) thank u

Some of them show traits from other God Tiers such as Rose as the Witch of Void, or Dirk acting like a Knight, but like, as their base self, they’re still good examples of their own God Tier that doesn’t necessarily leak out into any other Class or Aspect that much.

If the kids had to play the game again (I feel like they wouldn’t want what they went through to go on anyone else), to avoid Earth C getting destroyed do you think Jade would be able to shrink and capachogue it before she enters the game?

I mean she could likely, single-handedly protect the Planet from the Meteors with her Space Powers, so, maybe?

I literally had no idea that a scratch was an actual term in pool until yesterday

Yeeep, it’s a triple reacharound in fact- Scratch as in a Disc Scratch, but then Scratch for Doc Scratch as both the Pool Term, AND an old name for the Devil, the Old/Mr. Scratch.

do all doom players have two dreamselves or is that just a captor thing?

Likely a Captor Thing, but we have no other example of Doom Players so. Shrug.

Random headcanon - Yellow Yard has little to do with distance. Aka, instead of crossing fixed distance they crossed fixed duration.

That’s a fair assessment, specially because, physically speaking, Hussie got the theory of relativity regarding speed totally backwards. I think? I heard that at least, I should make sure but I think that’s right.

What would an Heir of Blood be able to do ability wise? I mean like how John was able to control wind and turn it into weapons/literally turn into the wind, but as a Blood player.

I feel they’d be good pacifiers. Changing Blood Selflessly seems like someone who’d try to keep the group together- But if you’re talking about raw powers like John’s? Blood Bending, all the way, and possibly becoming a Blood Puddle themselves. That’s always fun.

I'm so confused about what aranea did to jake. On the wiki it says she "restored his mind" like she did with Terezi's sight. Was he crazy? Or had he lost hope? I'm confused. I thought she just like somehow gave him so much hope it triggered his hope powers

It’s hard to tell exactly what she DID do to him- Restoring his Mind or Restoring his Hope makes no Sense, because she is a Sylph of LIGHT, not Hope or Mind! You could associate Light with ‘seeing the Light’, ‘being Enlightened’ and other things that she could’ve done to him, but what I think fits the experience better? She made him a beacon of Relevancy. She empowered him through Light to become the most Important event in the entire Session- Which in that case manifested as her unlocking his Page of Hope Potential, even if temporarily.

Just took extended zodiac quiz and found out I'm a light hero. It makes sense, when I get into something, I have to know EVERYTHING! But I also like to spit the info back out again into stories I write, with my own twist of course. What kind of class does that? I'm tempted to say maid of light because I create stories (but knight of light sounds cool too!!!) I've heard of class tests but I have no idea which one is the best to take

Maid sounds good but I mean, all Light Players could be like that I feel! There’s a lot of Class Quizzes, but I mean, if I may, I may as well #ShamelessSelfPromote.

Here you go! :3c

Rose wasn't a very good seer of light during her session. Is that what Kanaya meant when she said god tiers were meant to challenge players?

Kanaya mentions she thinks Titles may be meant to challenge Players, regarding the fact she has absolutely no idea what hers means or what to do, but people forget that the line following that is Karkat going like. “Nah, you’ll get it, you’ve merely just started, I know because I’m from the Future and you did Good.” They do challenge some Players, in the sense that they may be trying to repress their true Self, or perhaps because there’s a burden they bear relating to their Classpect- But the system leans towards positive growth.

Rose was actually a very good Seer of Light, her main goal was to gather every single bit of information and Lore on her Land about SBURB and their Session because she refused to accept everything was just arbitrarily doomed. She made a few mistakes, and was influenced into a more Active Role by the Horrorterrors and being a Derse Dreamer, but ultimately, she was still a potent Seer back there. In fact, she wrote the Guide that would later (or previously) guide the Troll Session to know what the hell they were doing.

Why are there two nannasprites?

One tagged along with most of the other Sprites on LOWAS when John Retconned.

do you think a void player could noclip through walls?

Roxy literally does this in canon.

Shouldn't retcon nannasprite have died, like how retcon Davesprite did?

She should! It’s yet another thing that makes me believe the post-Retcon Timeline is beyond the Alpha at that point. Either that or, Harlequins are just as incoherently hard to kill as Clowns are.

Or even more worryingly, that one of them may still be, indeed, doomed and marked for death soon after the events of the Credits.

When is epilouge going to be released?

Wishful thinking? 4/13. But, we don’t know. Could still be a year or two off.

Where where pre-retcon and post-retcon davesprite?

Post Retcon, dead. Pre Retcon, Davepeta.

Speaking of sprites... Where is jaspersprite?

A version of him fused with Rose. The other… Either sneaking around or potentially also dead by LOWASplosion.

Relating to the four elements commonly seen, like Earth, Air, Water, and Fire, we see Breath is Air, and I feel Space would be Earth, but what aspects are tied to Water and Fire?

Some Aspects seem tied to more than one Aspect, others seem hard to make a connection… Doom for example seems pretty Fire-y, and Void has Water connotations. However? Breath, Light, Space and Time may have connections to Air, Water, Earth and Fire respectively merely because of the Beta Kids’ Associated Element.

I thought the epilogue was supposed to be the Snapchat credits. If not, then what is the epilogue supposed to be?

We don’t know, but I mean, the story is still continuing. We still don’t know if our Caliborn and LE are the same, or if the Masterpiece Caliborn is an Alt Timeline Caliborn. John is depressed, Terezi is still searching for Vriska. There’s a giant hole through Paradox Space. Honestly some plot point like, Condy reviving could totally still happen and close off some of the last few loops here and there. Happy end for the ghosts perhaps? Earth-C Cherub Portal? There’s a ton of ways things could go still. Snapchat Updates are just Post-Canon Content, but not the Epilogue.

what happened to gcatavrosprite?

why do people get super edgy about how the epilogue's never coming out and we're all sheeple for still thinking it will even though hussie said outright that he was working on it with viz media and he's clearly still been involved with viz media

Because there’s an insane amount of dumb hatred towards Hussie and the Homestuck Ending still. Not even the Ending, but Act 6 in general. Some people still genuinely believe that Hussie stopped caring about the story beyond Act 5 or that he didn’t add anything meaningful or symbolic intentionally and it all was ‘for the aesthetic/coolness of it’, with ‘no deeper meaning’. This train of thought either stems FROM them disliking the ending, or leads TO them disliking the ending, and feeds to an already unhealthy, obsessive hatred of Hussie for no good reason because fuck Homestuck I guess, and ultimately feeds into the whole climate of pessimism and doomsaying the Fandom’s had for years now.

random oddly-specific headcanon you or somebody might like idk: in order to give players a level playing field with their land quests and self-improvement, players with mental health issues will find that some plants on their lands indeed serve as personally-tailored medication. unfortunately barely anybody ever thinks to ingest the native flora, which is a shame because they'd find it makes the best damn tea imaginable

I mean. Do you really need to trust weird alien flora for medication when you can just replicate your own forever on the Alchemiter? I’d imagine they’re dirt cheap to make with some Grist.

Did dead Equius and dead Nepeta from the Alpha timeline ever meet in the dreambubbles in canon?

[S] Terezi: Remem8er shows they did. But you could argue those are pre-Retcon or weird alt versions. ARquius and Davepeta did meet though, as a proxy of both a Strider Reunion and a Meowrail Reuinion at the same time.

Just to clarify, it's possible for my trolls to play sgrub, but only if one hacks sollux, correct?

I mean all Fansessions tend to be AU settings where they are the ones playing the game. If you’re talking canonically though? Yeah. Or. Maybe some Troll Colony?

Yo, how do lusus sprite names work?

Seems to just be their name. Mothersprite for Mother Grub. Dragonsprite for Dragon Mom. Gl’bgolybsprite for Gl’bgolyb. And likely to be that way for everyone else as well- Tinkersprite/Tinkerbullsprite, Pouncesprite, Arthoursprite, Goatsprite…

Ours is leaning to be more canon, where the Canon trolls still exist and Mines just like ," //hey, let's hack th!s troll and see !f he has anyth!ng worth shar!ng w!th my fr!ends; //Oh hey what's th!s? Sgrub? Sounds fun.; "

Do remember even if that manages to be feasible, you have until the Vast Glub to enter.

So is the Katana we see Dirk using in the Snapchat updates Pre-retcon Bro’s sword that Roxy brought?

Could be that one or a fixed Unbreakable Katana. Could be a new Alchemized one. Hell, it could even be a regular Katana.

What do you think is the most complicated series of name modifiers (ex. Dreamself, post-retcon, god tier)

Oof. It’d probably be if you tried to describe Davepeta by their individual components.

While we’re on the topic of Terezi: Remem8er, that scene with Eridan and sollux aradia and feferi, did it sort of imply they forgave him for the shit he did? Cause like, they didn’t look like they wanted to punch his face in.

I imagine they saw the version of Eridan riding on Shrek’s shoulder with cotton candy and just wheezed their hatred out.

They tease him about it constantly and he still has absolutely no idea of what a Shrek is.

In all seriousness, as we see with the existence in the Bubbles, it’s not that you ‘forgive’ others a lot of the time, rather that… Grudges become meaningless because everyone is dead. There may still passive-aggressive disdain but there’s no way for there to be any more retribution for any past acts than being forever trapped in Teen Drama Echo Chamber Hell. But I could also see Feferi forgiving him, but keeping a little bit of a grudge beneath surface level. She’ll throw a punch and stop it halfway to see him flinch and constantly, constantly be all up on him reminding him to not be awful. She feels being his Moirail is draining, but without any risk of him going genocidal in the Bubbles, and showing some regret about what happened in hindsight, she’d be all up for being a dick to him and never letting him live it down.

do we ever see a Gl'bgolyb imp?

Not as far as we can tell, we only see what seemed to be that big skeletal alligator thing from Jane’s Land when it comes to massive god damn Underlings as far as I can remember?

Okay maybe I just don't know anything but how is nepeta derse and Vriska prospit? Shouldn't that be switched?

Here.

But then there can be oddball designations that don’t seem to make sense by such simplistic parameters, like Vriska being on Prospit. If she and Nepeta were swapped the criteria might seem more clear cut.

This is deliberate on Hussie’s side and he acknowledges as much.

I'm crying in the club right now because joey and jude die in their twenties unless they manage to escape I'm IN TEARS (I watched optimistic duelist's newest video)

The Portal could be a key to their salvation, watch OD’s vid on the portal itself for that! :p And, they could also play SBURB themselves and sorta-save themselves.

Why does the Heart aspect get so often reduced to just shipping? I know 3/4 canon heart players were into that but I feel it's very reductive? Like I thought it's about knowing yourself and others and emotions and who we really are and stuff. Alternate question: Which classes of heart would be least into shipping?

Blood has as much right to be the Shipping Aspect as Heart is tbh, but yeah, knowing the Soul and what makes people themselves is also a big part of why Heart deals with shipping- Emotions and how they compliment each other and such. Least into shipping though? Likely Breath, simply because of the Detachment part of it. Void maybe, too.

Were the troll wigglers that Karkat created sent via meteors too? I'm confused as to how that'd work with the caves, since Vriska mentions remembering the trials.

It’s actually a bit difficult to tell, because some other Trolls do say their memory of the time is hazy at best, which could mean Vriska is just being a self-aggrandizing bitch by pretending to have gone through the struggle of the Trials. On the other hand, we know Acolytes of the Signless were waiting for Karkat and provided him with a Lusus that could raise him- If it was indirectly, by just having Crabdad around until the time came, they could’ve all just landed around Alternia at Random, but this, Vriska mentioning about the Trials, the fact Kanaya has a Virgin Mother Grub as her Lusus, it all seems to point out they all maybe ended up around the area of the Caverns and were just dragged in by the Jadebloods? Maybe Scratch ensured they wouldn’t get culled by warping them in there so they weren’t found out by grub poachers.

What makes you say John is depressed?

Every time John has nothing to do he dwells into a spiral of detachment and loneliness. In the 3 year trip, he ended up rejecting Nic Cage’s movies and pushing Davesprite away, something he later regretted. After the game is done, he has literally nothing left to do! The game is won, his friends are safe. He never expressed wanting to do something in the future, like, every other character had some sort of goal or purpose beyond SBURB, but John was never interested in anything he was particularly good at, nor did he seem to want anything else than for everyone to get together and be happy.

So once he gets his wish? He just. Sits there, at home. Occasionally chatting with his friends, too dysfunctional to even take down the ‘happy birthday’ sign for two whole years, remembering his Dad nostalgically. He’s just a Kid who’s also a God and where everyone else got married or has a company or some sort of bigger hobby, he just. Doesn’t have anything. Ironically fitting. He’s the Protagonist of the Story. Now the Story is over, and he has no Story left to go through. So he doesn’t do anything else. And it slowly consumes him.

On the second though... Prospit is described as "adaptive, reactive, capricious, extroverted, intuitive" while derse is "logical, active, introverted, rebelious, self aware" Vriska isn't really prone to rebelions, her whole arc is all about her trying to get a cool important role in narrative. Nepeta? Fits the "self-aware" part of Derse purtfectly. The rebelion part can be observed in her moiralship with Equius. and her hermit like approach to society (rebelion by doing as you desire anyway).

Vriska’s rebellious attitude may not come from her relationship to the narrative itself, however she’s very active and her rebellious nature comes more to the norm, her friends and Lord English. She’s there to raise some hell, pushes her friends away before the Terezistab, is a strategist and power gamer- Her attitude certainly fits Derse more than it fits Prospit. On the other hand, Nepeta is quite capricious and extroverted, and while she does sort of push back against Equius’ refusal for her to do stuff, she still ends up going along with what he wants most of the time in the end. You could make a case for both really.
