I don’t know. I thought it would be fine if I posted here. Forgive me if it’s, like… weird, or something. I dunno /flies away/
i’ve got a pronunciation guide to the beta trolls’ names in the faq tag somewhere, but would it be useful if i did up a new one and included some other things? it wouldn’t be a “this is how i pronounce them” deal either, since i’d go through and do some research concerning the origins of the words.
is that something anyone would be interested in? would it be helpful to anymore? i know hussie has said he doesn’t care how people pronounce things, but i know some people (like myself) try to pronounce them “correctly” anyway!
thoughts??
didn't this blog already have a long conversation on homestuck's gibberish pronunciation a bit back, though?
you can pretty much be sure that we’ve had a long conversation before about any ask we get
they just get buried over time and we don’t really expect people to know things we answered a month ago… so we have a lot of the same conversations over and over :’)
according to people on the forums: grandpa found the island, went through the transportaliser (and either acquired or brought the ship with him; presumably the same way BC did), and saved john and took dad and mom to the bfield. he picked up Jade's dream body and went back through the transportaliser, and raised baby jade until he was teleshot by bec/tavros and stuffed. and then teleported into space when Jade entered
I think Gl'bgolyb is pronounced as Gl'bgolyb, assorted seahorse neighs and clicks included.
this kid gets it
Pronunciation of Gl'bgolyb has remained unstated. It, and most of the horrors in Problem Sleuth and Homestuck are nods to the Cthulhu Mythos, and have similarly incomprehensible names, the utterance of which chips away at the edges of sanity. That said, going purely by modern English... gurgling? I'd go with 'glib' (with a shortened 'i' as much as possible) goal, eeb. Glibgoaleeb. Gl'bgolyb. (This might be a resend, testing missing e, sorry if I spammed. ;;;; )
although like none of the pronunciation in homestuck really matters, i am still posting this because i think we should all gargle randomly when refers to gl’bgolyb
How was Jade's grandpa in John's medium? When John was having his ass handed to him, Jade's Grandpa saved him.
we don’t actually know, it’s mostly written off as weird time shit! although it might have something to do with the transportalizers in the frog temple
apparently the wiki is theorizing that it’s to do with the lotus time capsule… or the other great theory of ‘weird time shit’ again.
i made a few edits of cairovercoat's god tier/OFF game patterns. is it okay if i submit them to you guys?
yeah sure go for it!
Speaking of "grimbark," does Hussie even know about that term? Did he coin it? I'm confused because it's never used canonically.
it’s a fandom term that’s grown in the same way karkles has.. basically canon without actually being canon ;)
i don’t know if it will be coined in canon, seeing as jade isn’t actually confirmed to be grimdark
