is doom represantative of unsustainable energy? or could it also be interpreted as lack of energy?

Unsustainable energy use is definitely part of Doomy stuff.

Not sure if you can answer this question but on the ez for Violet, Doom-bound and Prospit its the sign of the tilted. What does that even mean? That I'm not straight? Because if so they're right lol

We don’t know the significance of the titles, if any, just yet.

so, since heart is concerned with the inner-self, would that mean that mind is concerned with the outer self? like, physical appearance and stuff. or is that also heart related?

Usually it’s more related how you present yourself outwardly, I feel physical appearance may fit under the two in different situations, if at all.

Some (or really, most of) Hussie’s Interview on the Washington Post.  👀

Hey y’all, remember when the first piece of Homestuck analysis I ever wrote was about how Act 7′s metanarrative elements dovetailed with its theological symbolism?

Yeah, this is satisfying.

When looking at the results of your test I notice there are two times the people who get rogue than the second highest class (mage). Do you think this is the most populous class? What in your opinion has been the most and least represented class among fans?

The least represented one I feel is, correctly displayed, the Lord- The Active Master Class, Class of the Villain, it’s not surprising to see it being the less prominent, on account of people having a stigma against it (Similar to the Prince). Personality-wise, too, Lords are extremely assertive, you need to really be intensely Active for you to get the Lord in the Quiz. Other than the Lord, though, the Bard also fits that sort of ‘kinda specific behavior’ and ‘Fandom Stigma’ that makes it easily be on the bottom, but the Seer being the third lowest Class is honestly a major surprise! Whether this is representative or not of the Fandom’s population at large, I can’t tell, but it is true I don’t know that many other Seers. It’s also possible, since I’m a Seer, that I made them a bit more biased or specific without noticing, leading to a lesser degree of flexibility compared to other Classes.

I want to say the hefty amount of Rogues is just my mistake, but honestly I wouldn’t surprise if it’s the case! Rogues are the Passive Outlaw class. They’re all about Taking to help others. They feature traits such as “Fighting back against the system”, “Reduced group of friends they adore dearly”, “Shutting themselves and overindulging in their Aspect as a way to Cope with shitty situations”, and a positive Robin Hood-esque stereotype. I feel it kind of suits the Fandom demographic that there’d be so many Rogues.

Do you think it’s possible for Jane or someone to revive the ghosts? or a combination of different aspects?

I feel you’d need to have their Physical body around to resurrect them. And we know the Corpse Fridge is not around anymore.

could a sylph of light be someone who is the life of a party? thus creating "life" around them?

The Sylph of Life would be the most likely to bring the drugs to send the party into a wild spiral.

Would dirk’s collide fight count as anheroic death

Oh absolutely.

Then why didn’t it appear as one?

Anonymous said to homestuckexamination:

After dirks death in collide did he have to be revived by Jane since it was heroic?

He didn’t resurrect on his own, ergo, it was Heroic. It didn’t appear because… Things were going super fast and everyone was kind of coming and going? Like, Jane got knocked out, but because we didn’t see any ‘KO’ or ‘HEROIC’ labels we were panicking about her well being. Similarly, Rose and Jake died and got brought back so having the ‘Heroic’ label pop on them to be brought back a few frames later would be dumb.

I mean it’s the final battle, come on, literally every death counts as Heroic/Just because that’s just how Final Battles work. If the Immortality protected you in such a situation, the Heroic/Just thing would make no sense.

How do Fetch Modii work, exactly? I find every explanation online to be confusing, so please try to simplify.

It’s a game inventory! Just. Game inventories using programming logic to store and retrieve items.

What class do you think one who protects others would fit into?

The Knight may be more prone to, but really any Passive Class would, and also anyone who cares about their friends in general, depending on how they protect them.

when was it mentioned that: john was allergic to peanuts? and rose was Jewish?

John’s Peanut Allergy goes all the way back to Act 1 when he check’s Dad’s office, and it seems that Jake is also allergic to peanuts.

I don’t quite think Rose’s been explicitly stated to be Jewish in-comic, however…

Sorry if I missed some important plot points, my memory's still a bit fuzzy on the whole retcon thing, but why didn't Terezi make John change things so that none of the trolls die? Or at least the trolls that died from Gamzee's hand.

Terezi can only hone in on points of the past she knows very well, so John may not have been able to get to the appropriate time even if she tried. That’s mechanically, at least. The biggest issue with Terezi sending John on a retcon quest, ties more to Fate and Responsibility.

John doesn’t want to change anything too critical, lest everything become unrecognizeable when he gets to the Session. The changes have to be precise and surgical as to not create a completely different reality where everything is different and confusing. On top of that, some deaths are necessary for Paradox Space to continue as we know it has to- Equius’ specifically, as he needs to become a Sprite. Terezi doesn’t know what stuff she’s not involved with will lead to, but she knows of a few things that have been haunting and torturing her, that she feels could give them a bit of an advantage- IE: Gamzee being caught, Vriska being alive. Later, with the exception of the Seadwellers, every other Troll is brought back in some capacity. Eridan kinda deserved that death, and Feferi is the only one who gets the shaft- Buuuut she kinda made the Bubbles and likes the Horrorterrors more than anyone else, so she’s not that bad.

Do you think a god tier could use their aspect or something to power people up like Vriska's ancestral awakening? It seems like such a fun concept, just not sure what kind of aspect could do that!

I mean, Maids and Sylphs are the definitely go-to Buffing Classes, and I could easily see Rogues and Knights doing that as well. Aspect-wise though it’d vary heftily.

So I remember seeing lanque being connected to alchemy somewhere but I don’t remember if it was actually something of if it was just someone’s headconon

(Lanque anon) ah! Thanks!

Tricksters crashed the wedding. Funniest moment in the credits ever

Nope, the Tricksters appearing are fun, but the real funniest moment is the sneaky smile on Calliope’s face as she’s holding the Juju. She brought the drugs to the reception and got everyone high. A controlled high to celebrate an actually happy and carefree occasion, sure, but good lord Callie.

Jake is allergic to peanuts, CD took advantage of that to kill his dream self by feeding him peanuts. And Dave talks about crushing a glass bottle under his foot and being carried on chairs, a reference to Jewish weddings.

Yeah, the Jake thing is what I referenced when I said “It seems Jake has it too”. Oooh, I had forgotten about Dave’s wedding references, I knew there were big Jewish Strilonde Headcanons prior to the wedding but I wasn’t sure if they were just sort of, Fandom Consensus, or where it was mentioned.

Which aspect would you say is the most tied to / associated with money? We get Dave (time) owning the stock market and Terezi (mind) acquiring money but we also have characters like Tagora (space) who charges by the phrase. So is this just a personality thing, or is it tied to aspects somehow?

Light (Fortune) and Life (Wealth) seem appropriate, although Space/Void for Material Possessions may work as well.

Am I understanding correctly that sburb (under normal circumstances) is basically sacrifices one planet to create a universe? If so, does it mean civilization advanced enough to have colonies on different planets can have frog temples on multiple planets to increase the chance of discovering the code of the game?

I mean in a way. It’s hard to say though because Alternia had exactly that, but also something that made every Troll in the Universe die, so maybe the price to pay is the entire civilization falling in some way? Whichever the case, it’s possible the same Universe could have more than one Frog Temple, and it’s also stated that, if the Exiles rebuild the civilization in the dead planet, it may be viable for yet another civilization to give SBURB a try again.
