okay so disclaimer i know very little abt homestuck msuic BUT

today's [s] page has a leitmotif from English off the felt album and I'm fairly certain taht the clock is the same onas in Swing of the Clock (Also from the felt album) ? then again the English motif Might just be because it's cherub technology (it was in Open The Door off the Hiveswap act 1 ost too (the cutscene where (spoilers) Joey opens the portal))

so the song from [S] (Vriska: Figure shit out yourself.) is VERY similiar to Open the Door, but that's mostly just because they're both English with ominous droning music in the background.

[calware]

where have you seen hiveswap 3 backgrounds cause i havent seen anything outside of the characters

[hangmanxo]

OKAY SO ARE WE IN AGREEMENT THAT THE PLOT POINT LOOKS LIKE THE CHERUB PORTAL RIGHT? LIKE THERE'S NO WAY THAT'S NOT INTENTIONAL

ARE WE GONNA BE GETTING A HOMESTUCK 2/HIVESWAP CONNECTION OR AM I GOING INSANE

[ID: Aradia and Fozzer pose together in a spooky field. Aradia says, "Spooky season is upon us and it is important to know the differences between different kinds of resting places!!!" Aradia is now among very large bones. she says, "CEMETERIES are unconsecretated and not affiliated with a specific church!" Fozzer says from the clown church building, "GRAVEYARDS are consecrated grounds located within a church yard!" Aradia goes to a foggy burial ground and says, "BURYING GROUNDS are graveyards in new england!" Fozzer is now in a hole in the ground with a skeleton poking out, which is not what a catacomb is. Fozzer says, "CATACOMBS are underground burial places!" Aradia is even more off location. she is in Jane's house, with John's taxidermied body. Aradia says, startled, "MAUSOLEUMS are above ground buildings that house human remains in caskets or urns!" this does not typically include taxidermy. Fozzer is back in his favorite field, saying, "all kinds of burial grounds are valid! all kinds of burial grounds can be spooky! all kinds of burial grounds can be wandered about in dense fog while wearing all-black Gothic Revival attire and quoting Romantic poetry!" Aradia, in her ghost form and in front of a spooky mansion, says, "do not limit yourself to cemeteries! haunt all kinds of burial grounds!" / end ID.

I can confirm that they're spitting facts, but can any of y'all confirm the new england thing specifically? that's the one thing I'm not sure of (google wasn't helping).

by the way, if anybody wants to learn more about burial and funerary stuff, Ask a Mortician on youtube is a great source!

faimet is totally a lime (big fat theory made by a clownfucker)

hai guys just passing by and adding to the possibility of faimet of being a lime, so some ppl say that limes could be lowblooded seadwellers since eqquius(or was it aranea?) said that once in the comic(i have no fucking idea where that source abt eqquius saying that is im sorry) abt limes vs seadwellers and/or highbloods/the condense killing all the limes n shit but some people disagree cause if we all agree that karkat is a mutated lime then why doesnt he have a tail or anything seadweller-y? well to answer that isss,,, mutations too, faimet is most likely a muted lime as well cause she's pretty much the only troll we see so far with a tail, and karkat's ofc if he actually is a lime is his candy red blood, but why do i say he is a lime(if limes are seadwelling?) is simply cause of crab dad, he's essentailly the only 'seadwelling' lusus (most crabs need water to survive, crabs in order to live out the water have to keep their gills wet and i am not gonna try to find out what kind of crab karkat's lusus is considering it lived that far without water its a fuckin monster crab, unless tap water is ok) that takes care of a 'landdwelling 'troll we see (unless i missed something then im stupid) aside from gamzee's lusus but i think that wouldnt count? since marvus canonically having a land dolphin lusus purples might just have the same thing as limes aka having mostly/lusii that are half land and water animals(...dwellers..?), also if this idiot theory proves correct(low chance) then limes could have been highbloods since theyre pretty much almost like purplebloods (if it werent for ig being as weak as lowbloods??) and are the caste that are really good at pacifying (that also being a power?!?!??!) the most violent caste so yes faimet is a lime 101% (i am ready to get called stupid i wanna learn)(also yeah this turned more into a lime theory than a faimet theory lol)

Playing hiveswap act 2 and man the stuff with the clowns really had me thinking hard for a second. They spun a wheel and told Joey to kill a troll with the corresponding blood colour and I was just going through the train cars wondering to myself about how you’re supposed to have joined this rebellion to upset the troll’s caste system but are now being made to kill a random member of the lower castes for the amusement of the highbloods. It made me ask myself if one could do something like that even if it’s in the name of a seemingly greater goal, that being preventing the destruction of two planets, and still call themself a revolutionary. Could Joey still say she’s one of the good guys? But then I’m supposed to fabricate evidence so i might still be in the clear. Although there are two details that are eating at me, 1 that we already kinda sent one of the Jadebloods to her death over a rather petty crime even though it was in the form of a rather fair and balanced court case and 2 that I’ve been warned not to try and fool the clowns and I have a sneaking suspicion that my deception will come back to bite me.

[hskinhome]

it's the anon who asked for the barzum pendulum reading, I was wondering if I could get a general shufflemancy or tarot reading, whichever you'd rather do, for my timeline? i couldn't choose one lol

Sure thing! I’ll do both a shufflemancy and a tarot reading (in that order) to give you a better feel of your timeline! Also, I’ll be using my go-to spread for the tarot reading! Also, huge Hiveswap Act 2 spoiler warning, so this’ll all be under a cut.

———————————–

Hey Wait / Mid-Day Moon

———————————–

I feel like you can never keep up

I feel like we should hurry things up

I feel like we keep blurring things up

I feel like this is fucking me up

I've heard you feel I’m messing things up

Yet you've never said a word, so can you speak up

I think it's my turn to rattle things up

I think that you deceive past

Laid back answers

Pacing faster

My blank mind longs for

What you’re waiting for

If you can tell me anything

Tell me if you want me around

Hey, wait

'Cause I can see everything

I'll know if you want me around

Hey, wait

———————————–

After Baizli’s death, you had a severe mental breakdown like in canon. He was (literally) your other half, and you didn’t know what to do without him. The “wanting you around” could imply suicidality on your end, not wanting to be left alone and instead joining him in the afterlife.

———————————–

You (top card): Something about the kintype, more broad, sometimes obvious but it may still be overlooked

I got the upright Magician card, which symbolizes strength of Will, the ability to apply intellect, correct decisions, and balance and harmony. Before the events of Hiveswap Act 2, you and Baizli had a good relationship, balancing each other out (especially in demeanor and personality), with you being the more left-brained of the two. You acted more rationally than Baizli and did most of the decision-making.

———————————–

Home (left card): Something about your canon, can be general or specific

I got the upright Tower card, which symbolizes change, conflict, destruction, disruption, enlightenment, failure, and bankruptcy. This card points to the death of Baizli and how it impacted you. You had a mental breakdown, everything that was your core being falling apart. It’s possible you had what was essentially survivor’s guilt, feeling that you failed at taking down Joey and Xefros while also failing to protect Baizli.

———————————–

Heart (right card): Something fundamental about the kintype, something that makes you you

I got the upright Hanged Man card, which symbolizes wisdom, spirituality, prophetic powers, hiatus, life suspended, and transformation of personality. Due to what happened, your life was at a standstill, unsure what to do or where to go next. There’s a chance you deviated vastly from canon, where you awakened your chucklevoodoo powers or another power we don’t know of in canon yet. You could also have had a personality 180, becoming a completely different person.

———————————–

I know this one is more negative, but I hope it helps you! Also, many thanks to Mod Eridan and Mod Meu for helping me with this one! I ended up going with the song Eridan got because it meshed better with tarot reading!

SO SO SO HYPED FOR ALL THE NEW UPDATES!!!!!’

Summary of Hiveswap Act 3 SAHCON panel

Courtesy of Makin from the Homestuck Discord server. I'm just sharing exactly what the announcement was! https://discord.gg/homestuck

Possible Act 3 spoilers, read more at your own risk

some of "the hiveswap act 3 team" (namely producer jonaya, musician james roach and artist kim quatz) had an AMA/panel during sahcon, take my summaries with a grain of salt but I'm known for being really accurate and right: tl;dr

no release date revealed (no mention of the highly elusive programming team either)

act 3 will have more adventure game puzzling like act 1, and it's "the big plot act"

showed new art of locations and characters like last time, as well as a music track

the full picture

james instantly mentions hiveswap has been worked on for over ten years already which was very funny

they played some wii shop channel-sounding music with the nuclear leitmotif

joey survives the train crash (MASSIVE SPOILERS)

fiamet is in an early part of the game (and we do see the train tracks in the background), they shared an animated sprite of her + a drone

cridea and jeevik week are part of this act, art of her was shared

three new characters (tiagon, onhors and luxora) were revealed

new location (shopping mall) for which the wii shop music is for, troll language translators please get to it

new location (jade caves)

new location (hallway in space (?) + machinery that may or may not be part of the same area)

Q&A starts 10 minutes before the panel ends:

once again, no release date, but heavy in production

they'd love to make hauntswitch but one thing at a time

some characters from act 2 will return in act 3 and act 4

the most interesting character is "dreadeye" who has a complicated quirk (I don't think she's been revealed)

act 3 will have more adventure game puzzling, which act 2 barely had. it's the big plot act

rest of questions will be answered on twitter

[calware]

where'd you get that picture of fiamets room??
