would a troll necessarily have to prototype their lusi?
Anonymous

under the conditions set by the kernelsprite? no

was Sollux's strife specibus ever mentioned or does he only use his psionics for battle therefore not using a specibus P.S. I recall someone asking why you would need a fistkind strife specibus to use your fists to strife and it is more likely for brass knuckles ect.

as far as we’re awake, he doesn’t have one–just telekinesis. re-checked the wiki to make sure and they mention he has a throwing star….  might have had a specibus related to that? but there still seems no point if you can throw them with telekinesis……..

upgrade your fist for 9.99 today, but yeah that seems most logical. 

Actually, I do believe that it IS canon that there's other shades of blood than the canon 12/13 (if you count lime). If you look at those two fantrolls that only lasted one page, you'll see that they aren't the same shades of purple and blue as Eridan and Equius despie sharing a caste with them.

no that’s wrong.

mierfa is the same colour as vriska, nektan is the same colour as eridan–their shirts just have a different hue. 

look at gamzee’s shirt and then gamzee’s blood color. completely different: this was also the case here. whether its an error on hussie behalf or a stylistic choice to make it stand out, who knows.

when creating a fantroll, I've seen people use slightly different shades of colors. As in...olive blooded, but maybe a bit closer to yellow or something like that. Is it canon that there are blood diversities like this? Or are there only the ones that the main trolls possess?

it’s not canon but it’s a popular fanon theory.

Would it be accurate to do a cherub "blood swap"? I keep seeing prompts for it online but that doesn't make sense to me. Calliope and Caliborn live in the same body, their blood can't change from red to green and back every time they change. Can it?

it’s implied that cherubs would have to have both blood colours, as their cheek colours are depicted as that. seeing as they both have different tongue colours, i assume that they swap biology depending on the dominate personality? fuck if biology in homestuck even tries to make sense any moer

however, i’m assuming what the prompt is actually asking for is a personality swap–under the assumption that blood dictates personality. 

Why is it that when Aradia died she was sad and kinda morbid/emotionless, but when we meet the Alpha trolls they're so lively (or as lively as a ghost can be)?

because aradia was a ghost in the living world and the alpha trolls are ghosts in the dead world

Can any other caste mutate to have wings or is that exclusive to brown bloods?

considering that it’s a mutation it could probably happen to any troll

wouldnt the reason kid x kid ships arent on there is because humans dont have quadrants?
Anonymous

yeah, but the person was asking for a full list of ships, and that wasn’t a full list of ships

mod c edit: actually mom/dad were shown as the example for matespritship, so they could fall under that category–it shows that humans are at least capable of being defined by trolls as matespritship.

i dont see karezi or les8fins on there.
Anonymous

that’s because neither of them are actually canon, just very implied

also, karezi is on there!

Possible matesprits or crushes:

how do they know all the canon pre-scratch troll ships when none of tjem are mentioned in hs

the list literally gives a page for every canon relationship on there?????? I don’t know what you want from me
