PREFERRED KIDSWAP METHOD

METEOR SWAP: The kids are genetically the same, but go to different homes on the meteor (EX: Rose and Dave are ectosiblings, but the meteor took them to be raised by Dadbert and Mom Lalonde respectively.)

ECTOBIOLOGY SWAP: The kids are genetically related to their swaps instead of their original siblings (EX: Rose Egbert and Dave Lalonde aren't related, but Jade Strider and Dave Lalonde are.)

(ok to rb to add in tags or get a larger sample size!)

Homestuck Kidswap Headcanons

Jade Egbert

Jade loves her dad, but her upbringing left her craving a challenge, causing her to be even more enthusiastic about STEM as well as develop a deep love of soulslikes and notoriously difficult indie platformers.

Jade collects a variety of merchandise, including a solar shield tee shirt,    posters (of course) of Dark Soles, super meat boy and a styrofoam replica of artorias greatsword which she uses in early sburb.

she’s also a dedicated cryptid hunter. Jade keeps a lot of gear in her room for this purpose, such as a camera, a pair of binoculars that blink when they sense movement, a note book full of her findings in scrapbook format, and a flashlight that serves as the second allocation to her strife deck. She doesn’t really believe in that stuff, though, but she wants to so badly! Really, she just wants to be the one to take a semi-famous blurry picture. Is that such a crime?

 Dove Lalonde

Dove is a whole ass trans woman. She wears a shirt with a lemon on it.

She has a less adversarial relationship with her mom than Rose did, but it is by no means healthier. Dove takes an interest in Mom Lalonde’s hobbies (mixology) just as she takes an interest in Dove's. Momlalonde attempts to support Dove’s interest in fashion design by buying her very expensive fitted suits, which is kind of missing the whole point, so instead of being worn, they sit on mannequins in Dove’s room to be used as inspiration or to reference the patterns. She has to hold her mom's hair back at least once a week.

She has a less adversarial relationship with her mom than Rose did, but it is by no means healthier. She takes an interest in Mom Lalonde’s hobbies (mixology) just as she takes an interest in doves. Momlalonde attempts to support Dove’s interest in fashion design by buying her very expensive fitted suits, which is kind of missing the whole point, so instead of being warned, they sit on mannequins in Dove’s room to be used as inspiration or to reference the patterns. She has to hold her mom's hair back at least once a week.

Rose Strider

Rose wears circular shades, dual-wields swords, and has a pixelated Satan on her shirt.

 She is able to compete with Bro head-on in a never-ending game of one-upmanship, much like Rose Lalonde did with her mom, but two-sided this time and much more deadly. Although she’s never won a confrontation, she’s getting closer by the day.

She had a phase where she naively tried to imitate Bro’s style of irony and produced several unfunny and crewed comics, which she is deeply ashamed of and hides under her bed in a safe. Nowadays, she maintains an online cult. None of the other members can tell if anyone else present is there ironically or sincerely. The name of the game is to keep them guessing and create distrust. Rose theorizes that there are four camps her followers fall into.

Those who sincerely find comfort in the community and find the lore fascinating.

Those participating for their own ironic purposes.

A variant on the second camp but instead of actually having their own personas that are made funnier by being in an online cult they’re simply here to troll and hateread, unaware that all the stuff they find the most egregious was most likely posted by those in group number two.

Those who feel the need to “keep an eye on these people”

But the beauty of it is that all these camps look the same from the outside. She keeps a dedicated phone just for the cult, which ends up traveling around the session and into the hands of several characters.

Bro puts her in increasingly dangerous situations beyond anything he has ever thrown at Dave. The house is actually bobbytrapped. This comic by Mmmmalo is a good example of the kind of shenanigans I’m referring to.

John Harley

John basically has no hobbies. John occasionally passes the time by deep-cleaning the entire lab. He has accidentally made dangerous substances on more than one occasion. Now he can do it on purpose if he wants and is really into chemistry. He uses spray bottles.

John lives vicariously through his friends and even entertains the trolls a lot of the time out of boredom, causing him to have a close relationship with Vriska for his whole life that turns romantic over the course of his session. John exclaims in groups of eight, "geeeeeeez!!!" He has no idea she’s an alien, but other than that, he knows pretty much everything about her life and backstory. She pushes him to do dangerous things, even putting Bec to sleep to do so. Because of this, John is able to explore the ruins in their entirety. Even exploring Vale and Skia via the tranportalizers.

He has been awake on prospit for as long as he can remember, but he has no idea that a golden moon where you can see the future isn’t normal, in part because Vriska is very nonchalant about it as well.

Unicornbound (All-female kidswap/bloodswap AU)

An update on my all-female Homestuck swap from another blog I’ll be deleting soon. Remember the bards in this AU have cone boobs instead of the gag penis’s due to a Female Gamzee design. 

Joan Lalonde (Bard of Light): Joan is the main character in this AU. Just because she’s a Lalonde now doesn’t mean she’s not going to be the main focus. She lives with Mom Lalonde (Dad Egbert) in a vintage lavender 1900s mansion. Joan has long chestnut brown hair styled in two braided pigtails with purple bows at the end of them and has lavender eyes with purple cat eye glasses. Her symbol is a lavender ghost. She’s a weird oddball who can’t keep secrets and causes a lot of bad luck. Her interests are ghosts, painting wine glasses, horror and mystery movies, and, magic tricks. 

Rose Strider (Sylph of Time):  Rose has red eyes and medium length natural ginger hair with a red rose headband in her hair. Her symbol is a red crystal ball. She lives with Mom Strider in a museum. She’s a sweet meddling girl who loves classical music, sewing, poetry, writing fairytales, black magic, and crystals. 

Dove Harley (Mage of Space): Dove has green eyes covered by black shades and long natural blonde hair with a green headband bow in it. Her symbol is a green Walkman. She lives with Sis Harley in a fancy tower. She’s a cool intelligent creative girl who loves science (Thinks it’s rad), bird watching, fashion, drawing, writing song lyrics, all genres of music, and sports. 

Jade Egbert (Thief of Breath): Jade has blue eyes, short raven black hair with blue hairclips and blue tinted glasses. Her symbol is a blue flower. She lives with Grandma Egbert in a wood cabin. Jade is a over confident bubbly jerk who loves alchemy, botany, plushies, dogs, money, and indie cartoons. 

Thieves usually are friends with Sylphs (Kanaya, Vriska) and (Meenah, Aranea) so Jade and Rose would be close. Though it seems time players (Damara, Aradia) at some point beat the shit out of the Thief (Vriska, Meenah), so at some point Jade pisses off Rose enough to get her butt kicked. Joan (as a Bard) would be a danger at some point (She’d go grimdark and go against her team at some point). 

ALPHA KIDS: LESS TOXIC AND MORE LIKEABLE

Jane Lalonde (Witch of Void): Jane has pink eyes and chestnut brown hair with cat eye pink glasses. Her symbol is a pink cupcake. Jane is a energetic , very opening kid who loves baking, drinking shakes, and vintage movies. 

Roxy Strider (Heir of Heart):  Roxy has long Ginger hair with a orange cat hair clip on the left side of her head and orange eyes. Her symbol is a orange heart symbol. Roxy is a sweet empathic kid who loves wine coolers, hacking, science, rock music, felines, destruction, video games, and sports.

Dina English (Seer of Hope): Dina has long natural blonde hair held up in a ponytail and has emerald eyes hidden by anime shades. Dina’s symbol is a green unicorn. Dina is a positive insightful girl (with insecurities) who loves building robots, unicorns, studying plants, and cars. 

Jaci Crocker (Knight of Life): Jaci has long black hair styled in a braided ponytail and has light blue eyes. Her symbol is a blue skull. Jaci is a insecure sweet kid who loves adventuring the outdoors, collecting gold treasure, and crystal skulls. 

Each classpect picked for the Beta Trolls are terrible. You’ll feel sorry for this poor, poor session. Oh and yeah they have pastel blood because...pretty!

Feferi Megido (Bard of Time):  Feferi lives in a small humble home with her Seahorse lusus by a pond. Feferi is a Cherry (burgundy blood) with short hair. She is a creepy laidback weirdo who loves swimming, fighting for lowblood rights, pop music, dead things, and collecting sea shells. She’s mostly friendly, but can be bitchy at times due to the stress of being a lowblood. Being a Bard, she does become a threat later on and being a time player she kills the thief (Equius).

Eridan Nitram (Sylph of Breath):  Eridan lives not to far from feferi in a similar size home with her owl lusus. Eridan is a Orange Sherbet (bronze blood) with medium length black hair with some bronze dye. Eridan is a lighthearted carefree troll whose interests are alchemy and witches. She is the patron Troll for Rose Strider. 

Gamzee Captor (Page of Doom): She lives in the city with her wolf lusus. She’s a Lemonade Blood (gold blood) with very long hair. She has normal eyes (She has bronze blood powers). She’s laidback and irresponsible who has interests in baking pies with mind honey, fagyo, and clowns. Still being a Capricorn, she’d become a killer just like her canon counterpart at some point. She would just love all those pretty colors on her wall...

Equius Vantas (Thief of Blood): She lives in the city with her unicorn lusus. In this AU she doesn’t hide her blood as limebloods aren’t extinct, just rare. She has long hair styled in a braid and sports lime green tinted glasses. She’s a over confident jerk who loves unicorns, building robots to have tea parties with them, and LARPING. She ends up being killed by Feferi. In this AU she builds Feferibot with fuchsia blood which pisses her off. 

Vriska Leijon (Knight of Heart): She lives in the city (being neigh8ors with Equius) with her scorpion lusus. Vriska is a limeade (oliveblood) with short hair (and has normal eyes). Vriska is less of a bitch with self esteem issues. Her interests are Larping, scorpions, spiders, riches, and romance. As the knight she assists Terezi with frog breeding duties. 

Terezi Maryam (Prince of Space): She lives in the forest in a nice large home with her lusus, the mother grub. Terezi has medium length black hair and is a Mint Blood (jadeblood). In the beginning of the session, she is not blind, but does become blind later. Her interests are justice for lowbloods, dragons, tasting pastel rainbow crayons, and loves the colors of the rainbow. She becomes a killer when she is killed by Feferi. She comes back as a rainbow drinker seeking revenge. 

Kanaya Pyrope (Witch of Mind): She lives in a fancy tower with her fox lusus. In this AU she is a tealblood. She’s a bubbly troll interested in fashion, rainbow drinkers, creating jewelry, gardening, and sewing. She uses a powder puff that turns into a scythe. She's got flushed feelings for Terezi. She hates Feferi, Aradia, and Nepeta with her whole heart. Because mind players seem to lose a sense, Kanaya in this AU later in the session becomes deaf in one ear and blind in one eye. 

Nepeta Serket (Heir of Light): She lives in a nice hive with her tiger lusus. She’s a blue raspberry blood (cerulean blood) with normal eyes (Until later....). She’s a lucky daredevil who loves LARPING, romance, rubrics cubes, felines, and collecting lucky items. Thanks to Nepeta’s hard role playing Kanaya became blind in one eye. She secretly feels sorry, but she has to win.

Karkat Zahhak (Seer of Void): She lives in a nice hive with her crab lusus by a ocean. She’s a blueberry (indigo/cobalt/bl00) (whatever you get it) with long hair. She’s a gossip queen that knows all your secrets. Her interests are reading horror literature as she is a huge bookwarm. Despite being a highblood, she still gets babied by kanaya.

Sollux Makara (Mage of Rage): She lives in a huge-mansion like Hive with her two-headed dolphin lusus. She’s a Grape (indigo/purple blood) that’s not interested in the clown religion. She’s calm with a very bad temper that scares everybody on the team. Her interests are hacking, painting, and collecting eggs. 

Tavros Ampora (Maid of Hope): She lives in a mansion in the deep blue sea with her sea-bear lusus. She’s a taffy (violet blood) with long hair styled the same as Fluttershy from mlp. She’s a shy Troll very much interested in fairytales and fantasy. She’s a manipulative day dreamer. She’s a doormat pushed around by basically everybody. She was killed by Terezi which sucks because before Equius ruined their relationship, they were great friends. 

Aradia Peixes (Rogue of Life): She lives in a fancy sea palace with her sea hawk lusus AND her ancestor HER MAJESTY.. She’s a short haired fuchsia blood. She’s a bubbly creepy jerk who loves adventuring the deep sea, collecting dead things, collecting pearls, riches, and sea shells. She's full of life (at the beginning of the session, until later...). Her and Feferi were best buddies despite their places in the hemospectrum. 

ALPHA TROLLS:

Meenah Megido (Prince of Time): A lowblood gold digging bully. She has an obsession with Damara. They’re dating ONLY because Damara is mega rich. Jane punched her that one time. Beats the shit out of Porrim at some point.

Cronus Nitram (Maid of Breath): Dresses like a bad ass 80s chick. A independent confident woman with a ton of hairspray.

Kurloz Captor (Rogue of Doom): A easy going well-liked Troll who has a great relationship with all of her teammates. Uses her psychic powers to mess with Cronus.

Horuss Vantas (Sylph of Blood): The mom friend of the group. Also still has a HUGE love for horses.

Aranea Leijon (Seer of Heart): As the Seer of Heart her power is to heal and care for people and that’s it. Much more likeable than canon.

Latula Maryam (Bard of Space): Loves to roller-skate and has the hots for Cronus. Her favorite flavor is chocolate bronze blood.

Porrim Pyrope (Thief of Mind): A manipulative fashionista. She gets her ass kicked by Meenah in this AU. Is very much in love with Meulin Serket and Aranea Leijon.

Meulin Serket (Page of Light): She has trouble focusing on many things. That catnip is DEFINITLEY not hers! Smokes seaweed with Damara.

Kankri Zahhak (Knight of Void): She’s introverted even though she doesn’t mean to be. Constantly lies too.

Mituna Makara (Heir of Rage): Skeptical of pretty much everything. Loves to roller-skate with the rad rainbow drinker.

Rufioh Ampora (Witch of Hope): The trustworthy super happy person on the team. Has so much confidence. She is very much in love with Porrim, Cronus, and Damara.

Damara Peixes (Mage of Life): A very hyper active rich Sea Dweller who spends her time smoking sea weed, if not doing that, then she’s watching Troll Anime. She speaks awful Google Translate Korean thinking she’s slick. She wears a beautiful fuchsia hanbok.

CHERUBS:

Calliborn (Lord of Space): Is a Limeblood and Is the good guy in the series. At first is mean to Dina, but in the end become friends.

Calliope (Muse of Time): Is a candy red blood and is the big bad of the series, along with Her Majesty. She draws mean pretty great art of the kids and the trolls. She speaks in a evil British tone. Is obsessed with Roxy in this AU.

> JOHN LALONDE

CHUMHANDLE: umbroseTheatrics [UT] STRIFE: magickind MODUS: Shuffle LUNAR SWAY: Derse MYTH. ROLE: Mage of Rage LAND: Land of Shrieks and Shadows

UT: better be careful! my next trick might make you disappear...

Though he may seem like a LOVEABLE GOOFBALL on the surface, John's MORAL COMPASS may not always point on the STRAIGHT AND NARROW. He can easily be swayed to act out if it would appeal to his SLIGHTLY DARK SENSE OF HUMOUR, which on a non-zero number of occasions has resulted in him FAKING HIS DEATH with PRACTICAL EFFECTS and all.

John has a potent fascination with all things HORROR, with a particular fondness for FILMS of the genre, no matter their quality or popularity. He is also an avid AMATEUR MAGICIAN, practicing with his magic kits whenever he has the chance. When nobody else is watching, he also has an interest in BLACK MAGIC RITUALS he finds online. Though none of them have borne fruit yet, he's banking on one of these being THE REAL DEAL.

John's SHUFFLE Fetch Modus randomises his sylladex every time a new item is captchalogued, with all cards ALWAYS FACE DOWN and only the topmost card being able to be retrieved. With his practice in SLEIGHT OF HAND, John has developed a knack for CHEATING THE DECK IN HIS FAVOUR somewhat.

John's relationship with his MOM is somewhat tenuous. He's fond of her, but despises his INABILITY TO SHOCK HER with his antics on the rare occasion she's even present to do so. Whether it's her CONSTANT INEBRIATION clouding her judgement or the fact that she's RAISED HIM ALL THESE YEARS, he can never seem to elicit the reaction he desires out of her.

The Land of SHRIEKS AND SHADOWS is a land stuck in a PERPETUAL MIDNIGHT, with sprawling cityscapes ILLUMINATED SOLELY BY WATCHTOWERS sprinkled throughout the CAVERNOUS ALLEYWAYS. The darkest paths are where the AMBIENT SCREAMS OF THE DAMNED echo the loudest, but they hide the true path to meet the denizen MENOETIUS. As the saying goes, THE DARKER IT GETS, THE MORE ONE SEES.
