Homestuck, Hiveswap, Epilogue

Threads keep disappearing pretty quickly.
Let's please have some actual conversation?

From the official Hiveswap FAQ page:
>Hiveswap takes place before the events of the comic
How long before do you think the game will take place?
>with a lot of new characters
>... That's not to say that a few old favorites can't make an appearance
Who do you think we will see? John? The Signless?

doesn't the game take place in 91? so it probably won't be any of the kids or b2 trolls. maybe the ancestors or family of the kids. we already know B1 Roxy was Joey and Jude's babysitter

OP giving my thoughts
Irks me that Rose is not outlined in purple in this pic. just noticed that.

I think we may get to see some of the trolls as grubs.
This way, they will make an appearance, but not really affect the story.

>B1 Roxy was Joey and Jude's babysitter
Wow, I actually did not know this!
I guess I'm pretty behind/ill informed at this point!
You're likely right, then.

Anything else noteworthy I might possibly be unaware of regarding Hiveswap?

It will be shit.

So, who killed Tavros?

Gamzee, Terezi or Karkat?

beta jake is the father of joey and jude

this is now an Aradia thread. discuss.

So were scratch Joey and Jude Grandma's bastards?

What kinda reading order do you guys think is best for new readers? i think maybe Problem Sleuth is the best place to start.

scratch joey and jude didn't exist... or they died horrible deaths to juggalos or blood-based experiments

this interview states that
>takes place in the 1990s
>there's hints about hints about Joey's family tree in the trailer
>rewatch the trailer multiple times, don't pick up on any clues
I found this, which said "CONFIRMED"

Everyone seems to look back on PS very fondly
But there's still bitterness from HS readers

So PS is probably a better investment
yet look at us, all here posting in a HS thread

this chart doesn't make sense because dad would have had to have been john's son in the other universe

dad HAS to be adopted

No. She'd have to have them when she was like 70 for that to happen. Even ignoring the other logistics of that, nobody's gonna bang a granny Jade, compared to Grandpa who retained his fuckability well into his 90s

What

...

This isn't even Jade
this isn't even a character from Homestuck

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

...

why does tumblr consider Vitiligo fashionable now?
People also like to pretend the kids aren't white, when they are described as people white multiple times. Their sprites have white skin.
If they were any other color, I'm sure Hussie would have had no issue with coloring them
especially considering that he colored the trolls gray and cherubs green
I guess I just dont get it

... described by people AS white, I mean
fuck this phone.

What the fuck is the point of this?
You can't like characters unless they're as ugly as you are?

>Now in the morning I sleep alone
Isnt he sleeping with piggy? And thats why homestucks end was so shit
Like yeah yeah half cunt is a vapid truth but while not as good as before the rachel years had some redeeming qualities

>pre-retcon
>slept with Dave
>slept with Gamzee
>Karkat gets cucked in the afterlife by Vriska

>post-reboot
>slept with Vriska
>now sleeps with John

JUST

But seriously, fuck that pairing. It's still better than Davekat, though.

>B1 Roxy was Joey and Jude's babysitter
That feels like such a pandering move. Roxy feels like such a pandering character.

the harleys and egberts especially can
theoretically be any race since there's not much suggesting otherwise.

If you're looking culturally the egberts can also be lighter skinned asians, hispanics, blacks, indians or any race really. As the lighter skinned middle class to higher class of these people tend to live """"privileged"""" lives in the United States as well.

Like shit just look at the Fresh Prince. Aside from Will, the entire Banks family could be white and nothing would change.


strilondes are almost definitely white.

Hussie pretty much changed canon. They WERE white, but since Hussie got scared of the big bad SJWs getting mad at him for a lack of DIVERSITY, he's made it so that people can headcanon them as any race they want. IIRC, I think he's stated that they're all aracial.

Really, I think Dave should definitely be white. His shtick works the best as a white boy. I myself am black, and agree with this. But really, all of them being white works best.

Jake also definitely works as a white guy. His whole shtick is that he's a beta boy version of Nigel Thornberry. Him being any other race just doesn't make sense with me.

I'm not even saying that there can't be blacks in those roles in a way, but that there's a slight racial stereotype with the kids, and the kids mostly fit the stereotypes as a white person. I mean, Jane is literally Betty Crocker, not fucking Aunt Jemima. It's that simple.

rest in peace sweet prince

...

>not fucking Aunt Jemima
kek
But I agree with you
nicely said, user

They've all been described as white though.

get her out of there

...

Pink.
Which any light skinned newborn can fit.

but how user? i can't break the lamp, she would get hurt by the broken glass if i did that

But they weren't newborns? And I don't think a black baby could be.

...

...

...

We knew mom knew grandpa and worked for him though

Hey, are you the one that drew that anime aranea?

As a baby sitter of all things?

really they've all killed him at some point, in some way.

People still draw DaveJade?

...

maybe not a black bab
but other ethnicities is possible.
Anyways the point is that the american middle class is NOT white exclusive and that John and Jane can easily be korean-american as they could be chilean-american or white.

Of course, why wouldn't they

yep

i also do jojostuck, which i just updated with gifs

...

What, did you expect people to honestly go over to Davekat or something?

Ayy, cool man, would you be willing to draw more stuff?

Why is Vriska impaled by a tree?

I'm pretty sure there's more evidence that they're white but I don't have the macro. Plus what this guy said. Colonel Sassacre was a parody of a white guy as well. I don't really care but I think it makes the most sense.

...

...

Who was the "how underwhelming" one reffering to?

it's the red miles, which nobody can escape

probably could have made it look better but eh

sure why not what do you want

Rose

It was Kanaya talking about Rose.

Yes, my pale Rose theory is 100% canon and penis-approved.

Yes but it also means that Kanaya is into brown chicks

It's
>pink
>sassacre
>white rapper
>pale rose

Strider and Lalonde are white.
I went over the pink shit.

The ~only~ difficult to argue point is whether Sassacre would raise dark children. If he was a normal racist white dude from this era I doubt he would raise an asian or dark baby.

Very good user, very good.


HOWEVER.

It would not be out of character for some white people during his era to adopt an abandoned mystery child of an "unfortunate" color. He also married a fucking alien, so he is not even fucking close to being a full white supremacist.

Sweet!
If you don't mind could you draw pic related but with Kanaya instead of the girl in it, please?

I figured it all out.
>Hussie names his studio after a running gag involving a pumpkin that appears to exist not actually existing
>his studio has no budget, no office, no employees, and no game
>What What Pumpkin?
The man is a meta-comedic genius and he's so devoted to a good, subtle punchline.

BARNEYFAG BARNEYFAG HELP I'M BEING OPPRESSED

>BARNEYFAG
literally what?
that picture is related to barneyfag?

...

But Jane is meant to Betty Crocker and stuff too. Aliens > racial minorities anyway.

betty crocker is an alien user

>a $2.5 million dollar what pumpkin? joke

...

requesting karkat blowing his brains out

You know what I mean.

>yfw hiveswap has been funded for 4 years

Reminder that this girl ended up crying after seeing that animation was it

...

It's strange, when the comic was still updating on a regular basis, even though I was aware they were aracial,
I could never see the characters as other than MSPA white and still say "that's the same character".
Race was just never brought up in the comic very much aside from pink babies, "white rapper", and
"white as a ghost!" (I thought the last one was tongue-in-cheek, because the kids are all as
white as a literal ghost in the comic), and it was never really something that was important to the characters,
so I just never gave a shit about that.

>strilondes are almost definitely white
I do agree with this now, though.

Betty Crocker is as real as Condy herself, she's a fictional character. If Jane was related to the "real" Betty Crocker by blood she would be a troll.

...

Proof?

REQUESTING VRISKA STEALING HIS GUN AND 8LOWING HER OWN 8RAINS OUT FASTER

8ECAUSE SHE IS THE 8EST!

She was always portrayed as white though?

requesting vriska fucking the gun first.

>the original had gray skin
It was right in front of our eyes all this time...

...

We don't know what """betty crocker""" looks like in their universe user.

thanks for this, saved for future reference

Their Ben Stiller and Snoop Dogg are the same, why wouldn't their Crocker be? That's such a silly argument.

Was working for the Condesce DD's wet dream or what

It was kind of weird the fact that she was a gray lady never came up around him but he probably had a boner the entire time

ben and snoop are real people.

in both worlds betty is as real as the lucky charms leprechaun.

I thought that's what the point of DD: ascend more casually was?
Especially since he's lookig at gray porn the whole time

Their Ghostbusters are the same? You're really reaching. Plus she's (technically) based on our Betty Crocker.

...

I think you're the one reaching 2 b h

the ghost busters are not:
>tied to the relations of the main kids
>food mascots
>actually aliens

Why is it so strange to you that betty would be the same skin tone as Jane when Jane is the heiress?

1. They're fictional characters in both of our worlds who are exactly the same- hence the comparison.

>betty would be the same skin tone as Jane when Jane is the heiress
Wut.

...

The circumstances are completely different though.

Babysitter? You don't know that, we've just seen a picture of them together. We knew she was raised by Grandpa, which probably makes Roxy a big sister-cousin figure for Joey. It's not like she was shoehorned in this to pander the fans like you want it to be.
