( If you think about it, Vriska must have had a tough 13 year of life… I mean, her spider mom makes her makes her capture/kill other kids so that she can feed her. That must really fuck a person up inside, especially considering the fact shes just a kid. It doesnt excuse her actions obviously. but its still sad to think about ::::(  )

Honestly learning more about Vriska has made her a little more sympathetic in  my eyes. Because damn, I bet the reason why she has the robot arm is because the spider munched on that. So it was literally a kill-or-be-killed scenario.

She did what she could to survive, and she became warped because of it

( Hey, have you heard of Hiveswap? )

I think so? When I started Homestuck I went to the main website and I think I saw a screenshot of the title card. Or there was some buzz on tumblr that there was a sequel or something.

I honestly thought that Hiveswap was like how the Trolls were playing the game/got it, but seeing how I am reading that right now IN Homestuck, I have no clue what Hiveswap is about.

( You are fucking killing me. There is so much I want to say that count as spoilers. I really really hope that when you finish homestuck, you reread your commentary so you understand how much I’m dying )

That would be something, a liveblog of my own loveblog.

I find it very entertaining that I unintentionally stumble onto the truth way way back when. You guys must have been stressing out, and still stressing out, about all of my future guessing. I hope you won’t be dying for long!

( To be fair with everything you heard about the species (conquering other planets, violent dreams, common cullings, no defense in court, making babies go to trials for the right to survive, did you not expect for some of the trolls to be messed up? )

I mean…ok that’s fair. I was thinking more of that was what the adults did to the kids as their are growing up to train them or some shit, not what the kids really do to each other. But yeah, now I see that the Trolls can be murderous pricks and horrible people.

( Have no fear, the teams won’t be based on blood color/class. We already have Gamzee confirmed for Red Team (and he’s a purple-blue color) and Aradia is already confirmed for Blue Team (and she’s straight up red).

Yeah, I forgot about that. In the heat of the moment my rage consumed all. I am so glad that Gamzee is a chill little bloke who is too high to give a shit.

Though with how extreme Ass-Bot is, I’m surprised he wanted to be ‘co-leaders’ with Aradia. Either he doesn’t know, or thinks he is in control of the situation regardless.

( Nepeta actually does have a lot of traits typical of autistic people such as the doodling you noticed and obsessive hobbies such as how everyone has to sort of talk to her in RP terms and make it clear when they aren’t RPing )

( Nepeta is coded as autistic, but unfortunately im pretty sure that statement karkat made was actually meant as an insult  :( I wish hussie hadnt written stuff like that in the comic tbh, hopefully he will do better in future works and….Not……..)

My Screener talked to me on this one saying that her being coded autistic is more of a headcanon thing, but honestly it’s nice to hear people seeing her like that. I don’t know if I personally see her coded as autistic yet, but that’s because I haven’t seen much of Nepeta yet, and I tend to be obtuse in these type of situations. But really, Hussie is pulling a Rick Riordan with his representation here. 

And to Anon, I wouldn’t take Karkat’s words to heart. With the Way Hussie was writing his characters, I can see him making Karkat be offensive like that, but not Hussie himself. I mean, Hussie made Dave dick jokes against gay people, and I literally just finished reading a classist supremacist, and I’m pretty sure that Hussie doesn’t believe in those things either.

Not to say that the intent isn’t harmful, but that was more from the character that Hussie created than Hussie himself.

( I think maybe by “early homestuck memes” that person meant that it happens early in the comic? The meme itself is from 2015 which was a year before homestuck ended )

That could be it. I never got in tumblr until like a few months before homestuck ended, and even then I never got into the meme culture thing until a little bit later. I just figured that there were early homestuck memes as this was going on. Sorry to that person if it sounded like a call-out or something. I just didn’t want to mislead anyone on the fact that I am doing this in present time.

( Noticed a parallel between the AA/GA convo, and the first time we hear from any of the trolls back on page 859. isk if its important of not but i thought youd be interested anyways. )

I looked back into this and:

Yeah, it is pretty similar. With the former being more antagonistic and the later being actual friends. I like the little call backs to former pages that Hussie does in homestuck

( I forget, has anyone told you yet that troll-writing is just Daedric from Skyrim flipped around? With a bit of effort, it’s readable. For Example, Aradia’s Ouija spelled out ‘Bing’ to simsum her Bing Crosbytop. )

So this spells Bing? ok, let’s see this.

well it isn’t verticle, maybe if I flip it the other way

…nope still can’t see BING. To be far, I have never played Skyrim before, so I didn’t know there was a secret language like this. But thanks for letting me know! This kind of stuff feels like a little Easter Egg Hussie just leaves behind.

( Goth cutting off Tavros’s legs was a flash forward to how he GOT robot legs. Gotta get those useless bits of flesh outta the way to make room for high tech locomotion - (Also his last name, Nitram, is Martin backwards, yet another reader)  )

( I think you misunderstood the point of Tavros’s Flash-forward. Goth troll was chainsawing his old, non-functioning organic legs off so creepy troll could fit him with a new set of functioning robolegs. )

( Yeah those were his real legs. I mean, they needed to make room for the robot legs so he could walk somehow. An example of unfortunate logistics. )

( Goth is cutting off his non-functional legs so he can get functional robot legs, this is why it is a good thing )

I get that he needed to get rid of his old legs for new robot legs. I just thought that there was an accident in the game that required new legs. Not them deciding to cut them off

And if they were going to amputate his legs, I did not expect them using a fucking chainsaw. I was thinking lasers, or something with more precision. Certainly not that mess that came with it.

I only hope that Tavros actually consented to the operation, and they didn’t just decided to strike while he was asleep

( A brief Clarification, when you got the “Be the other girl”, command, the narration was focused on the ghost gal. i think. the point is, the ensemble is entirely gender-equal. )

( Actually, the transition was “be the other girl” from Ghost Girl’s perspective, so the other girls did not count her, which implies an exactly even split. )

( “Five other girls” as in, Ghost Chick is girl 1, then 5 other girls not counting her )

Way to go Hussie. Good for you for having good equal representation and complex relationships.

So with that cleared up..

Girls:

  • Terezi

  • Aradia

  • Nepeta

  • Goth

  • Spider

  • UNKNOWN

Boys:

  • Karkat

  • Gamzee

  • Sollux

  • Tarvos

  • Shadow-Lord

  • Neptune’s Dick-Child

So I have one last Troll left to go before I met them all them all
