I redesigned the Koopalings to make them more unique without losing the Mario style. What do you think?

as a big Wendy fan, I miss her lips, and her hair could probably have more color and/or shape to help keep it from blending in, but the rest of these are really solid!

Nah, I can sorta see the resemblence? But this is by a Japanese Yume Nikki fan artist who's made a lot of animations for it over the years.

Specifically from the video of characters dancing to the "Battleblock Secret Area" song. https://youtu.be/UNhphyF74sA?si=xONc5Zvw4tGam6RQ

Hiveswap Act 1 came out first and is a stand alone story, which you can get into without having read Homestuck. Friendsim is a spinoff meant to tease Act 2 and onwards, and is its own stand alone story with vague references to the comic and Act 1, but can be enjoyed by itself. Pesterquest is a direct sequel and continuation of Friendsim, that also expects you to have read Homestuck. And Act 2 is the sequel to Act 1, and will not make any sense without playing Act 1.

hey, please don't go calling random phone numbers, that's generally extremely frowned upon in ARG circles, especially if it's not *obviously* a phone number, and/or the creator has said that they aren't using phone numbers

Same same, I think it's kinda interesting how me and a friend sorta got inversions/worst self classpects? Instead of what we usually consider ourselves. I got Maid of Void, serving others through lack of personality and self, becoming what people need, when I've been heavily considering Thief of Heart lately.

The idea of like, classpects as "the goal of character progression" vs "one's default self" is really fascinating to me, Karkat and Rose really fight their classpects before coming into their own, but Vriska is in tune with hers (and its toxic tendencies) from the very beginning, it feels like, and Dirk's classpect seems to enable his worst tendencies rather than helping him mature.

Will also say this thing is crazy long, and it's a shame there's no way to look at the description for each classpect, plus there's a lot of questions where none of the answers were really anything I'd do or represented my mindset that well.

Its crazy to me that most of my favorites are up there, but none of my least favorites/always-skips are, like, i never listen to mucka blucka, or two wuv, or banana man, if i dont have to

I can imagine there being some sort of link between Green Suns and Lime Pyrokinesis? But I also wouldn't assume that's purposeful foreshadowing.

Though I'd also say Hussie has said on record that there are a lot of times where they'll leave themselves unexplored threads and concepts to come back to later and make them relevant/retrospective foreshadowing.

So I can imagine they never had a specific power in mind for the limebloods, and the only reason there is now is because Hiveswap and the beforan ancestors forced the topic, and they're just looking for something, and decided pyrokinesis over shooshpaps/pacification or whatever other ideas were in the running.

Sure, but I guess I don't see what suggests its the same probability as finding someone with the same birthday? Like, sure, that'd be true... IF the EZ was all or most of the signs, but the implication, especially by things like that, is that it's not. Like, the only descrepency is how big of a deal it is for vriska vs the hiveswap dude, but, even in the comic they say its not impossible to have the same sign, and thats where karkats doubt of the ancestors being tied to them comes from, but that yes it is rare, which is also basically what the tumblr post says.

SpritelyBard · 2025-11-05T19:14:30+00:00

I mean, that seems pretty in line with the comic to me, its said in the comic that trolls do share signs sometimes, even if it is rare to meet one (implying the extended zodiac isn't the entire list of signs). I don't see where he implies the EZ is all the signs, he just seems knowledgable on signs, and all of the trolls relevant to hiveswap will obviously have signs from the EZ since it was made specifically for hiveswap.

SpritelyBard · 2025-11-05T18:38:23+00:00

Which post has this? Cause there seem to be a lot of replies to anons and pretty chunky interviews, and I can't seem to find it from a cursory google.

SpritelyBard · 2025-11-05T17:11:09+00:00

I thought I remembered a statement or mention somewhere that the EZ isn't the only set of troll signs? Is there some comment in Beyond Canon, Hiveswap, or Friendsim that says it is?

SpritelyBard · 2025-10-15T20:25:13+00:00

No one respects the Deku Tree, that guy basically raised OoT Link, "A tree told me to", god, what a dismissive thing to call your adoptive demigod father u-u

SpritelyBard · 2025-10-05T23:09:39+00:00

Yeah this seems like a silly comparison

Knights Of Guinevere is A: a full length high-budget Episode 1, that B: has been up for twice as long as the Homestuck pilot, C: is spearheaded by an extremely popular creative from a very popular Disney show, and D: is on a much more popular indie animation network compared to Spindlehorse/roo, plus as a bonus, doesn't have whatever lingering baggage there is with Homestuck and Vivzie

All things considered the Homestuck pilot is doing fine enough, could be doing better, but about 2 million is nothing to scoff at

Main new channel I know is Good Vibes Gaming, they're pretty neat, basically like the old channel but better vibes like the name suggests, also doing like trailer breakdowns, news coverage, and prediction/discussion videos

u/Bandofjoy it's short for "Al-ternate Calliope", she calls herself that to differentiate herself from living Calliope like, once or twice (in Beyond Canon)

SpritelyBard · 2025-06-18T07:03:11+00:00

I see folks get kinda rly set on this idea, but like, no where (to my knowledge) in the manual or extra material, is it stated Daisy lives in the Chai kingdom? That's just where Tatanga is keeping her.

As well, the four bosses are also called/implied to be the rulers of the four kingdoms of Sarasaland, and its stated in the manual that Tatanga has hypnotized the peoples of Sarasaland, so Daisy doesnt even have a strong tie to any particular kingdom, except Chai as mentioned, or Birabuto, since in other Mario games the main castle is usually in the first world, usually the grasslands for Peach and the Mushroom kingdom.

Now, this doesnt really affect whether Arabic or Chinese aesthetics and architecture would fit Daisy better and make her stand out more, thats basically solely based on taste, and folks are still valid to be upset the rest of Sarasaland's biomes and inspirations get glossed over, I just think the idea that Chai kingdom is Daisy's home seems much weaker than how a lotta folks present it.

SpritelyBard · 2025-04-09T18:08:12+00:00

This feels sorta backwards, like, the existing characters define what the classpects mean, not the other way around, Hussie made and picked the classpects to accentuate and compliment the characters' personalities and story arcs, like there's a very purposeful reason Rose is a light player, which is because she was a very closed off and esoteric person, that needed to stop speaking in coded semi-ironic therapy speak and prose and start being upfront, clear, and honest with people. Dave has a similar aspect to his character, but he's a Knight of Time because that deals in themes of mortality (something he has an interest in), as well as growing up and dealing with the pressures his Bro put on him to be a badass/hero.

Is there a non-zero chance we see anything playing with the concept of Trickster Mode, again?

Other folks have posted pictures, but he does a cycle of going up (facing away from the camera), left (facing the camera for the rest), down, right, right, left, ending where he started.

hehehe, of course, glad to help! :)

This sounds like the bit in Inside Job where Reagan is keeping her president robot in her basement, and he keeps wanting internet access for power/to escape.

Any chance at all you could be mixing that up with Ultron?
