What is 612?

june 12th (6/12) is the day that hivebent started!

for more info, check the wiki

Actually, for that q, it DOES have to be your last life. From the wiki: (Speaking of going GT) "...or a player with no other living selves must have their recently deceased or dying body present on their Sacrificial Slab, a process apparently referred to as taking a "legendary nap" by Consorts." I believe "No other living lives" specifies that it does have to be your last life.

the wiki says under the article “quest bed”:

They serve as a backup method of ascension should a player lose their dream self or be kiss-revived as their dream self, or if ascending on the Battlefield impossible either due to it being destroyed or being undeveloped such as in a void session.

the wiki is a mysterious thing edited by multiple people with varying views on homestuck it seems, and unless there’s something from homestuck that definitely says otherwise I almost always go with the more general answer for stuff. it’s an occam’s butterknife kind of thing

im kind of confused as to why hussie would use the name cronus for a character like him. i was wondering if you had any theories? because its really confusing to me. yeah his scar is like that but i dont understand how his personality works for it.

Cronus shares a name with the ruler of the Greek Titans, who overthrew Uranus and was, in turn, overthrown by Zeus. Cronus’ Roman form is Saturn, the name of one of the planets ruling the Aquarius sign.

radiation originally suggested the name for eridan, probably because of the aquarius thing!

Though not relating to the number 612 itself, the Pre-Scratch Trolls also have a similar combination of number quirks (Rufioh, 1; Mituna, 0/1/3/4/5/7/8; Kankri, 6/9; Meulin, 33; Latula, 134; Aranea, 8; Horuss, 100; Cronus, 8; and Meenah, 38) that adds up to 365 - the amount of days in a year on Earth, which, ironically, trolls do not go by. -the wiki says

I would be amazed if this was intentional tbh

are we allowed to make bases of your rips, as long as we credit you guys?

seeing as the rips are from homestuck I don’t see why the fuck you’d need to credit us????

Is Beforus a planet with only adult trolls on it? And if so, at what age do trolls move there and how would the get there?

have you…. seen the alpha trolls? those are not adults. those are teens bro. problem?

beforus is the pre-scratch alternia

Sorry if this is relating to the whole Cronus theory thing, but it reminded me. Are the pre-scratch trolls a bunch of random ecto-combination of all the post-scratch trolls? For some reason I remember reading that somewhere. Such as Aranea having traits from Vriska and Kanaya, hence why Jake describes her as a spidery vampire. (Mostly showing Vriska's traits of course).

EB: how did that even work, with 12 of you?

CG: IT WAS REALLY FUCKING COMPLICATED AND I’M NOT GOING TO GET INTO IT.CG: OUR FAMILY STRUCTURES ARE ALREADY WAY MORE COMPLICATED THAN YOURS WITHOUT EVEN GETTING SPOOKY TIME SLIME INVOLVED.

we don’t know how their ectobiology worked and we never will! I used to think that the dancestors were all mutant clones of each other, but it doesn’t seem to be that simple

So I was told that the higher the blood, the more violent. And I told this to my old friends and they said that Gamzee was the only high(er)blood that was violent.. So umm I'm confused about that now.

equius and eridan are also pretty violent! feferi’s kind of an exception because she’s awesome and doesn’t accept their weird fucked up system that doc scratch imposed upon them

do we have any idea why john's color is blue but his shirt symbol is green, while it's the other way around for jade? idk that just seems kinda odd
Anonymous

probably because the kids don’t feel the need to wear shirts the same color as their pesterchum text colors???

in john’s birthday gift to jade including a blue slime ghost shirt he says

i went to a weird asian store the other day and saw this rad shirt, so i got it and i’m wearing it now! but there was a blue one too which was way more awesome, and i wanted you to have it. i know you like green a lot, but maybe you’d like to try wearing blue sometimes? i bet you’d look like a million bucks!

so basically, john bought himself a green slime ghost shirt and jade a blue one because he thought it would be fun to switch things up! 

Do you have to be on your last life to ascend on a sacrificial slab? Like, either your dream or waking self is already dead?
