#turntechGodhead - TG - tipsyGnostalgic

[bundotexe]

I only just now realized that the homestuck kids share their abbreviated chumhandles with their “parents”/“kids”

[pascalishere]

This has probably been noticed by people smarter than me but.

All of the human kids in Homestuck have a similar naming convention for their Pesterchum handles, TT (tentacleTherapist and timaeusTestified), GG (gardenGnostic and gutsyGumshoe), TG (turntechGodhead and tipsyGnostalgic), and GT (ghostyTrickster and golgothasTerror). Except. John’s handle is ectoBiologist by the start of the story.

From the very beginning, John had already broken away from the rest of the cast, “free” to float along with the Breath as he pleases. He manages to break away from the Issues the other kids have going on. The others are caught in an endless cycle of hurting and misunderstanding the warped reflections they have of each other. But not John. He’s completely removed from those dynamics. And completely alone.

just realized something neat!

so, you know how everyone in homestuck has a chumhandle right? and every chumhandle has an abbreviation (for example ectoBiologist = EB)

well if you compare the handles of the alpha and beta kids each of the alpha kids has a matching abbreviation with one of the beta kids!

jane - jade: GG (gutsyGumshoe, gardenGnostic)

jake - john: GT (golgothasTerror, ghostyTrickster)

roxy - dave: TG (tipsyGnostalgic, turntechGodhead)

dirk - rose: TT (timaeusTestified, tentacleTherapist)

this might be common knowledge but i wanted to share!!

Do Chumhandles Mean Anything?

aA (Aradia) // cC (Feferi) = the only ones with double letter chumhandles

aT (Tavros) // tA (Sollux) = aT swapped round is tA

cG (Karkat) // gC (Terezi) = cG swapped round is gC

aC (Nepeta) // cA (Eridan) = aC swapped round is cA

gA (Kanaya) // aG (Vriska) = gA swapped round is aG

cT (Equius) // tC (Gamzee) = cT swapped round is tC

Are these ships? I don’t know, it does include KarkatxTerezi and VriskaxKanaya is canon when they flarped together and Kanaya had a flushcrush on Vriska but I don’t think Vriska felt the same way. But there’s more!

if we use johns original chumhandle (ghostyTrickster) we get this with the Alpha and Beta kids:

gT (ghostyTrickster/John) or gT (golgothasTerror/Jake) // tG (turntechGodhead/Dave) or tG (tipsyGnostalgic/Roxy) 

gG (gardenGnostic/Jade) or gG (gustyGumshoe/Jane) // tT (tentacleTherapist/Rose) or tT (timaeusTestified/Dirk)

I dont know how to interpret this but I’m sure that someone else might...

I have thought that those with double letter chumhandles could be pairings for the pale/ashen quadrants and those with the mirrored chumhandles could be for the flushed/caliginous quadrants. Again, this is just a theory but I’d love to hear if this already exists or if you have any ideas or anything to add!
