hi!! sorry to bother you, and i'm guessing that the answer is no, but I was wondering if there was a sprite for Hussie's God Tier outfit? i've managed to find some sprites for normal Hussie, but the god tier is beyond me??? Thank you!

if you click the panels on the right then you can get the god tier he wears in-comic :)

hi there, in your last post you mentioned something about domestic abuse? could you please elaborate :o

gamrezi.

What age would you rate homestuck? My 7 year old cousin likes to read it.
Anonymous

i would say 13 minimum, i don’t think a 7 year old should be reading it. to be frank with you, that’s a little irresponsible.

there’s strong language, violence, sexual themes and now there’s implications of domestic abuse too. 

so yeah, i would not let a 7 year old read homestuck.

acording to another test my god tier aspect is heart but i dont know my class so i took your god tier test and i got helper but im not sure what to do with that now? like a class thats most similar to a helper would be my class or....? sorry im just not sure what to do

well the first issue here is that we have never personally made a god tier test so i have no idea what test you’re taking. if it’s a non-canon result then usually there’s an explanation on the page; even if it’s linking to another site/tumblr

so try looking for an external link or maybe tell us what the test was titled so we can point you in the direction of whoever made it, so you can ask them instead :)

Do you know why Hussie deleted a bunch of his question posts (and others) from his tumblr?

from what i’ve seen inferred on his twitter account, he wanted to reduce his web presence back to how it used to be (which was barely anything). this is probably because he kept saying problematic things that ended up with tension building between him and fans. ie. racism/fat jokes

so for that reason, it’s a good thing he did. it was bleeding into the comic and becoming very immature (eg. when it was pointed out he had racist undertones, hussie created the whole trickster ‘arc’, posting even more things to tumblr about it that upset fans.)

so yeah, although it’s kinda sad and i do miss the world-building aspect of his q&a sessions, it’s def for the best.

do all trolls have mind control abilities?
Anonymous

no, so far it is relative to the serket blood-line. that said, tavros is also able to commune with animals but that’s not exactly the same thing…..

so yeah, if we’re talking purely trolls, then only a serket can directly control another troll in canon.

but like we say every single time, if you’re asking this question for a fantroll then who cares? go make your fantroll with mind controlling abilities and have fun! :)

tumblr wont let me edit the post properly, but this is a submission we had and my reply to it!

“Immediately, she proceeded to wreak her vengeance upon Terezi. She began by gaining mind control over Tavros. She then used his powers of psychic animal communion to control Terezi’s Lusus, which guided her while she slept. She then used the lusus’ influence over Terezi to persuade her to walk into the middle of the forest during a bright Alternian day and open her eyes and stare into the blistering Alternian sun, blinding her. This event also caused Terezi’s dream self to wake up on Prospit and stare into Skaia, blinding her as well.”

Soooo concluded by the last part, Terezi’s dreamself is blind because Vriska also made that version of Terezi look up at skaia and go blind- so her dreamself isn’t blind because Terezi wanted to be but because it was blinded

no, the wiki is wrong. in fact, the wiki contradicts itself if you look at the page on dream selves.

Terezi’s dream self remains blind, as she prefers being blind to being sighted. During Hivebent, Terezi speculated that this is because dream selves are shaped by the self-images which players project.

while terezi being blinded in real life did wake her up on prospit, she doesn’t believe it had anything to do with her being blinded on prospit too. 

she has this to say about it:

GC: WH3N 1 W3NT BL1ND, TH4TS WH3N 1 F1RST WOK3 UP 
GC: 4ND MY LUSUS H3LP3D M3 W4K3 UP! 
GC: SORT OF 
CG: YOU MEAN ON PROSPIT’S MOON. 
GC: Y3S 
GC: BUT 
GC: 3XC3PT FOR 4 V3RY BR13F MOM3NT… 
GC: 1 W4S BL1ND 1N MY DR34MS TOO 
GC: TH3 DR34M S3LF 1M4G3 1 PROJ3CT C4N’T S33, B3C4US3 1 GU3SS D33P DOWN 1 DONT R34LLY W4NT TO 

this is what canonically happened, as terezi is explaining huge chunks of the game and certain mechanics through her own narration. reading the log in whole, you can see that this is an ‘information’ log, put in for the purpose of progressing plot. therefore, terezi is not really 'speculating’ this is hussie telling us what actually happened through terezi’s pov.

don’t forget that the wiki is edited by fans and is not always right–as you can see from this clear contradiction.

terezi is blind because she wants to be blind (she currently has a whole character arc about how she doesn’t want sight, further reiterating this point!!!) and this explains why vriska and tavros do not have their disabilities/dis-figurations: they don’t want them like terezi wants hers.

I hate to be picky, but you're like TOTALLY ignoring the people who run independent RP blogs! Not everyone is in a group, and (as someone who runs several indie blogs) I find it gives a lot more freedom. You should include those as well when you're writing about tumblr rping! (Sorry if this sounds bitchy, I don't mean for it to be.)

oh right, ahha i’ve been doing groups for so long i totally forgot about indie. so yeah i was totally ignoring them, let me make a post about that now too.

i have also done indie rping in tumblr and i find it either goes really well or really terribly. it can be very hard to get started, but it’s really accomplishing once you get it right.

you need to be persistent and have a high resilience to ‘rejection’. i have a lot of friends who dropped out of indie rping because they said they felt like they were ignored and couldn’t find anyone to rp with. you just need to push and push and follow anyone who you’d like to interact with and send them starter and make first contact. it’s not the kind of rping where you can expect people to come to you, you need to make the effort. in my opinion, it’s not the kind of rping for people who have social anxiety because of this pressure and responsibility.

on the other hand, you can totally flourish under these conditions. you have no restraints that come from a group (ie. interacting with the same people over and over and being stuck to the same setting) you can change your character to different aus in different rps, do cross-fandom rping and and meet hundreds of people. it feels soooo good to have so many rps happening, and who doesn’t like attention? your character development is really pushed because of the au’s you can put yourself into, and it’s a great way to really master the character you’re playing. 

so yeah, indie rping is hard and can be very lonely if you don’t put yourself out there enough, but if you do manage to do that then it’s really good fun!! if you like freedom and have a good attention span, then it’s totes the right thing for you! :)

mod b addendum:

i find that it helps to start up alongside a friend, or have people in mind with whom you’d like to rp. it helps ease the nerves and makes it a lot easier to get started from what i’ve experienced. additionally, don’t restrict yourself to a handful of people! one of the beauties of indies is that you can rp with as many people as you like, including multiples or aus of characters. if you stick to the same few people all the time, you may feel a little lost when people become less active.

My god tier is Knight of Light, could you tell me about it? Like, my personality based on it? And what the title and aspect means? Or other stuff?
I hope its okay to ask here, otherwise just ignore the question. But I am looking to start up a Tumblr RP Blog (For my version of Kankris ancestor) and I wanted to ask if you guys could give me any tips? Like, anything I should look out for, or maybe even a guide if there is one floating around tumblr that I missed?

hmm well… i guess it depends? i’m just gonna babble about what i’ve found and you can take what is relevant. 

i’ve been rping since i was… 12? and i’ve been running my current homestuck rp group for coming on 3 years. i’ve been running rp groups on tumblr for about 5 years in total now aaaand i’ve run about.. 6 in total? i’m currently active/semi-active in about 3.

atm i’m running one homestuck rp and another non-homestuck related one. the homestuck one is pretty lax and i don’t mind who joins, where as the other one is 18+ and needs a decent writing ability due to the themes of the fandom? (which is like… death and fighting before jumping to conclusions)

it depends on your standards too? we try to recruit people in who we think are going to be long-term members of the group and that’s fucking hard. we’re still missing a jake and roxy, i find those two characters have been especially hard to find rpers for who are active. we’re still struggling with aradia/nepeta too :’)

you need to be clear about what the setting of the group is too. we were too wishy-washy at first and people were too confused to join. or they’d join and wouldn’t be on the same page.

uh… tagging is important. you can only use 5 tags. we usually use ‘homestuck’ 'homestuck rp’ and then tag in characters we need. so at the moment our recruiting post is tagged as: 'homestuck’ 'homestuck rp’ 'jake english’ 'roxy lalonde’

recruiting posts are important too. if you’re just starting out then tag in the main characters that everyone loves: (ie. males lol) you can fill up dave, karkat, sollux and gamzee very easily–if you have 4 or 5 rpers that stay as the 'core’ then you can start adding in the harder-to-get rpers around them, like aradia, feferi and equius.

you need to make sure that people don’t get cliquey. we had a sollux/eridan who only interacted with each other and karkat, sometimes terezi too. they’ve now been replaced and eridan interacts with everyone from terezi to jane and the same with sollux. who cares if feferi and dirk never interacted in canon? they need to interact to sustain a group. people who don’t interact with certain characters are not team-players, and will cause inactivity in your group :/

i’m using the main kinda characters as an example, but it’s true for any characters–from fantrolls to squiddles.

also, keep in mind how big your group is. our group has the 8 kids and 12 trolls. that’s 20 people. 20 people is very difficult to manage, and we have 3 moderates to help do so. i would not recommend more than 20. ideally, i’d even suggest less but it’s hard with homestuck. i was in a homestuck group that had well… any character you think of, they were in the group. it was havoc/chaos/unhealthy and unorganised.

more than anything, go with your gut feeling. if you think someone is trouble, don’t accept them. we’ve accepted people we thought were dubious and had really gross issues with triggers and emotional manipulation :( 

and just have fun! i guess what i’ve said has made it sound scary but it really isn’t :) you get to meet amazing new people, and rp groups on tumblr often stick together for a long time. my girlfriend and best friend was met through the first tumblr rp i ever joined, almost 5 years ago. almost all my close friends online are from the 3 year homestuck rp i’m still currently running, and i many friends and acquaintances from rping in other groups. 

respect each other and love each other and it will all work out fine! just be prepared to get assertive to keep that respect and love flowing <3
