was )(IC during the events of hiveswap the empress? i cant really figure out at which time the story sets

Yeah she was, she’s been since before any of the other Ancestors were around as far as we know.

Do chucklevoodoos work on seadwellers?

Likely they can work. Powers don’t seem to be restricted to working or not working on certain castes, rather than on specific individuals.

though it is implied the higher the cast the less likely it is for psychic attacks to work

It may be, but also it’s not really ensured, like. Vriska was unable to control either Aradia nor Terezi, while Aranea could control every caste up to Violet at the very least, so it really is case by case. The tendency may be that they work less on higher castes, but still.

What do we actualy KNOW about seadwellers? I mean I know its kinda a loaded question to ask for all information on a caste but considering how little of them we see I don't think there is much

They’re pompous aristocrats, they live underwater, they have a feud with landwellers, are hard to kill, practically live forever, aaand that’s kind of it actually.

aranea was just kinda broken powerwise for some reason.

Eons of training.

i know a few bee facts, like the fact if a young queen is unfitted to become a queen, she changes to a normal female, which makes me wonder if trizza died at some point (maybe even killed by feferi?) or if she simply lost her status as heiress

You do know, Condy is very explicitly said to kill the aspiring Heiresses when the time to take the throne comes. If someone doesn’t kill her by the time Hiveswap is over, Condy will.

What do you think the age at which a heiress is killed is?

Likely the same at which the Trolls are supposed to do their Ordeals. Or when Condy gets pissed off.

since we know a not godtier player can still use their aspect is it possible for a player to use it before they even start the game? sorry if this was answered in canon or on your blog somewhere

Very likely yes, like… Condy has a life-extending touch, doesn’t she? That definitely sounds like a Life ability, and she wasn’t even supposed to play the game.

but )(IC doesnt stay all the time on alternia, does she?? like, she's got other business than taking care of potential heiresses, another young, stronger fuchsia challenges the aspiring heiress

We don’t even know if there are more than two Fuchsias at all. And Condy comes back for her, since Fuchsias can be in fact a threat to the throne. In Alternia specifically, too, they share the same Lusus, so one of them gotta go.

i know not everything cant be explored and theorized 100% but i am really interested in how other empresses handled their reign

If we ever get info on any other empresses than Condy or Beforus Feferi it’d be interesting.

I have a question, or rather a thought that can be easily formed into a question, that gives me a lot of trouble when I'm thinking about classes. Could a person who's generous, selfless, caring, or otherwise outwardly helpful to others be an active class? Could, say, a Mage use their knowledge to lead the team and guide them, even though that's generally a job attributed to a Seer?

Of course they can, but it’s like being Introverted- Sure, you can hang out with others and enjoy your time, but ultimately you need some alone time to recharge. Being ‘selfish’ doesn’t mean you never do anything for others, more than it means that you need to take care about yourself to be happy before you can properly help others.

Could you arrange a list of Homestuck deaths?

Do you want me to double-die in the process? That’d take a while, I’ll consider it.

How did you come with your avatar?

I just shoved a Light Symbol as my avatar, then everyone changed their icon to the :0 icon for 4/13 so I followed suit and never went back.

Why did feferi’s lusus initiate the vast glib?

It was mortally wounded by meteors.

What did you pick in your quiz thing?

I haven’t taken my own Quiz because I know what answers lead to what results.

I mean the favorite characters thingy

OH THAT ONE QUIZ whoops. I actually can’t remember, I love most of them really.

Do we know what made Earth C look how it looks when callie and caliborn live there? Are the ppl who lived there and main characters now living on some other planet, or did they all uhhh die?

Callie’s Earth C is in front of a Red Giant, I’m pretty sure that alone would be enough to vaporize all the water on it and kill everything else. If the Sun Earth C orbits is similar to our Sun, then Callie lived 5 billion years after the Kids got there, literally anything could’ve happened.

would recycling information for a narrative be a space or light player thing to do?

De… pends on the specific information? I also am not exactly sure what you mean by ‘recycling’, there’s a whole bunch of ways this could go, like, re-using ideas for a new idea? You could have literally every Aspect there depending on what ideas you’re re-using, and yet none at all, it doesn’t have to be a specially Aspect-related thing.

(recycling info anon) re-using informationfor a bigger story, yes! this would be both from outside stories and within the story itself

Yeah no specific thing to pin-point if it’s THAT broad. Hell, that’s something Paradox Space itself does constantly, re-using events and callbacks are canonically, in-Universe, something Doc Scratch calls out.

On your masterclass post and the aspects, Muse of Void says Muse of Hope.

Fixed!

what if they named black rom couples kismesis because it's a combination of kiss (referring to the hate snoggin) and nemesis

Nemesis is for sure, but according to the wiki, the Kisme part is because of Kismet. 

So centi from steven universe got revealed with her gem cut and facet and stuff, abd ahe had facet, 413. I think it could be a homestuck reference

“Could be a Homestuck reference.”

Hussie officiated Amber and Shelby’s wedding, so I think it’s something quite special that there was a Homestuck reference in the episode right after the Garnet Wedding, and given to the very first Corrupted Gem we ever see.

It’s also not the first time there’s been a Homestuck Reference in the series. SU likes its references and it pulls from a lot of different things- Dragon Ball, Utena, to name a few… With Homestucks in Crewniverse, I think Steven Sugar being into Homestuck too, and the connection between SU and Adventure Time, another Homestucky cartoon, it’s only to be expected!

This one could easily be reaching too far, but come on, that’s just Terezi.

Having noticed there’s also Utena references though, I’m really starting to consider about SU and Gnostic Imagery… Let’s see if the comparisons I made between White Diamond and Yaldabaoth actually go anywhere, and whether the imagery will be more Gnostic in general, or if it may just also be influenced Homestuck-ways.  👀

Could the "Hope" of a Maid of Hope also be spite? Like, their determination and will to keep moving forward to a better future stems from other people trying to hold them back in the past. Does that make sense? Cuz if so I'd make a dope ass Maid.

Wherever your hopes of continuing on come from is irrelevant as long as you can parse it as Hope in some way. Same goes for every other Aspect, if you can parse it as part of the Aspect somehow, it fits.

When do you think the HS fandom will run out of classpect questions?
