Homesquared Chapter 2

Ohh the part where we get to see the Kids rendered! Id seen panels here and there of these three but now I get to see them see them :D

Vrissy lol cute

LOVING that symbolism of shedding the brackets like a snake sheds its skin, renewal of the ouroborous what is canon becomes non canon what is non canon becomes canon again

Also implying that over time like a snakeskin, Canon will just always degrade to being Non Canon, until its unceremoniously shaken off all at once and becomes Canon but Different each time

Man baby Tavros is just like, exactly like a baby Jake, is he gonna get nicknamed too? or not a problem since Troll Tavros isnt around anyway?

Actually, related: Names being associated with Heart should have been obvious all this time as Unique Identifiers seperating seperate people and identities like the walls between Souls, but it’s nice to have that sorta made explicitly clear, can probably add Names next to Heart’s symbols like Hats

and from that, People sharing the same unique identifier, like all Dirk’s simply being called Dirk, is probably referencing that they are all each part of the Hive-MIND of the being called Dirk

I do remember that once in Homestuck Brain Ghost Dirk was labeled as the full title, even when him and real Dirk never interacted, but now here he is just simply Dirk.

Aww, Tavros speaks in Gamzee purple ): That hurts my soul, that Gamzee would have affected his own self so deeply

Good on ya though Tavros for beating the shit out of his dead body, I’d have done the same

On the next note eyy here’s that bucktoothed child that somehow also encapuslates the rule of every strider being attractive-looking, Harry!

His design is genuinely cute! And maybe a bucktoothed nod to how Roxy may have ended up looking in a timeline where they decided Male was a gender they wanted

Now that I’ve been introduced to all three of the Kids I’m definitely gonna keep my eyes on any classpect stuff for them, which may or may not be relevant ever at some point in this comic maybe? Cuz like, Dirk and Terezi and Rosebot are all up to starting another session and Homesquared so far feels very like the “Journey of the Second Generation” and we just know theres bound to be sburb stuff happening sometime

With the main juicy tidbit being, are their classpects just gonna be mixes of their parents? Unique to them but also with the influence of the parentage, or are they gonna be entirely different?

Like, Harry just from first impression I can definitely see as being a Rogue of Breath, it’s fitting so far

Tavros then could either be a Maid of Hope or a Page of Life, tho I’m HEAVY leaning towards Maid of Hope seeing as that progression would be “relying on others at first for their hope, then learning to create hope for themselves” versus Page of Life being someone incompetently acting out confidence and authority until they gain a truer understanding of it and become rulers in their own right

First impressions fit that very nicely

Vrissy I think genetically is actually meant to be like, Vriska’s true descendant? I think? Like how Aranea was to Vriska, they have that looking up to the other and modeling after their behaviors as a role model dynamic going on, so in all likelihood Vrissy is at least a Light player, but I guess in the troll’s case the class is more up to the individual in question, but Vrissy will no doubt be trying to act out her own Class through seeing the comparisons in Vriska’s Behaviour, same as Vriska Molded her image of Her Ancestor as Thief-like growing up despite Aranea actually being a Sylph, so we may get more clues to Vrissy’s class by seeing how Vrissy idolizes and embellishes what traits she sees in Vriska, so far, she seems to be focusing on how Vriska kills bad people and is straight to the point about it, so nothing really yet. Vrissy seems to be really acting confident around Vriska, but not sure if that’s because she doesn’t really think Vriska is all that cool, or she does and is trying to impress her (The latter being very Vriska behaviour lol)

“ VRISKA: If you want to keep Hanging Out, I mean. Which I assume you Do. “ comes to mind, so definitely think this is Vrissy’s behavioural attempt at wanting in with the Cool People. Try to clarify that she is wanted from the people she values without coming off as wanting to want it haha

Overall she is definitely quite confident and is very open with what she knows and what she doesn’t, suggesting perhaps a Page-y behaviour? we’ll see

it would be like, a perfect little mirror for Vriska to see a younger healthier more stable version of herself literally acting and being like the thing she used to hate and torment herself and others about

so yeah, intital classpect thoughts, really liking these so far:

Tavros: Maid of Hope

Harry: Rogue of Breath

Vrissy: Page of Light

Damn Vriska is gonna get so much emotional trauma whiplash from all the normalcy on Earth C “What do you mean they dont have incinerators at school? where do they put all the viciously murdered bodies??”

“There is something incredibly reassuring, Tavros thinks, about someone who has absolute outward confidence in themselves. The soothing lull of following a simple direction is so overpowering it blots out the logical part of him that knows this is, perhaps, the most outlandishly stupid succession of decisions he has ever made. “

Yeah it is pretty comfortable behavior for a Maid class that isn’t confident to be more confident being led by someone, then again that is also pretty normal behavior for someone who has been abused like Tavros has been.

Hmmm, We get into the nitty gritty of what trauma might do to a person’s classpect as well, assuming the system is more nurture based than predestined nature based. I still lean towards it being predestined nature based, you were always going to be who you ended up being etc Homestuck is just like that after all where Nurture is valued and is absolutely an influence, but with Nature being tied up in timelines and predestination, its just sort of already taking Nurture into account when it’s basing on Nature, Nurture is just inherently a part of Nature already and etc

Imode, Silas and Avril are all 5 letter names, wonder if theres any significance to that? I’m reminded of 5 being a number that pops up in Hiveswap a lot, wonder if it just means “Normal Human bullcrap” in symbolism terms

“JANE: Oh, Tavros, no!

JANE: He wouldn’t--

JANE: Tavros loves his Gamzee! Those rebels must have captured my sweet baby and corrupted his mind.

JANE: My family! My entire family!

JANE: This cannot go unavenged.“

good old Jane, man she is just gone full tilt into only valuing her own perspective of things, her own wants and needs and expectations and the fact that she doesn’t even have a hint of what Tavros’s real situation is like, and she’s already set up to disbelieve any attempt at reconciliation with him

“I’m not bad/evil, it’s everyone else that’s out to get me and my family, even my own family is out to get me.”

hah lol ending on Harry’s “o shit” is great

New Leadership Update

Hello, everyone!  Mod Tom, here.  It’s been three days since I took over, and exactly one (1) person submitted an OC to be SBURB’d.  I can tell that it won’t be easy reviving a blog with an entirely new premise, so allow me to revise a few things.

There are three characters submitted to the first SBURB session: The one submitted by a wonderful follower, one offered by a friend of mine, and one of my own that I created to speed things up.  I’m waiting off for one more character, but if I don’t get one, then I’ll just make another.  That’s not an issue, the point of this is to allow me to write sessions instead of analyzing them.  However, if you wish to be part of this session, or another one, just submit an OC in the submissions tab.  I’m sure there will be a lot more submissions after the first SBURB post.

In the time I was waiting for more characters, though, I’ve been answering all of the unanswered asks in the askbox.  Don’t ask why, I was bored.  I’m like mostly done with it through it though, and I only spent like two days on it.  Seeing this, I figure that I might have been to quick on the draw in my decision to not answer asks, but at the same time I’m crying with these constant 12 player sessions.  Let’s compromise a bit.

SBURB Storytime (that’s what I’m calling it now) will not be the main focus of this blog.  You can submit your characters, in fact please do so I can make those posts more common here, but I will also answer asks, just like we did all those years ago.  For anyone stumbling upon the blog for the first time, here are our main services:

Quadrant Analysis: Just submit two, or a group of, classpects and I will play matchmaker with them.

Classpect Assignment: Tell us all the juicy details about you and I will give you my hottest take of what your classpect is.

Classpect Analysis: Give me a god tier and I’ll explain what it is.

Land/Quest Analysis: Give me a god tier and I’ll give you a land and a quest.  Or you can give me the land, too.

Fraymotifs: Give me a god tier (additional info optional) and I’ll give you some fraymotifs.

Other Things, Probably: Idk dude, it’s been a while.  Homestuck question? Ask.

(New!) OC Generator: Give me a god tier and I’ll give you an entire character, why not?

However, you know what can of worms I’m not gonna open?  Session Analysis.  I know, the name of this blog is literally “Homestuck Session Analysis,” but you want to know why this blog dies every time it’s revived?  As soon as the askbox opens, like twenty 12 Player Sessions pop up.  I’m not dancing that dance again.  Session Analyses will be replaced with SBURB Storytime.

What is SBURB Storytime?  Every now and then I’ll write a short story/highlight wheel using whatever original characters were submitted using the template in the submissions tab, but probably mostly my own characters.  Whatever OCs I use will be properly sourced using the tumblr url that sent the submission.  Submit away!

I’m going to reopen the askbox soon, as soon as I finish the last four Forgotten Asks and our first SBURB Storytime.  That should be by the end of the 22nd, just because I’ll be a bit busy irl.  I’m going to queue all of these posts, one post a day, for the next 10 days, in the meantime.  Maybe I’ll change my mind about the session analyses by then, I dunno.

One last thing, to be more Homestuck-y and to be more up-to-date, I’m changing my mod tag from Tom to Maso.  It’ll probably cause a little confusion to long-term followers to the blog, but I think there’s only like 10 of you who are still active anyway, maximum.

Thank you for your patience and patronage to the blog,

]>>Maso<<[

[homestuckexamination]

What do you think of a mixed session(kids+trolls) where literally everyone has psychic powers of some sort? There’s a Bard of Heart, Page of Doom, Maid of Mind, and Mage of Time(kids), Seer of Space, Theif of Hope, Knight of Rage, and Sylph of Void(trolls). Basically the session went with the strongest(physical) character at the start being the Maid of Mind, who needs the most character development. The Theif of Hope keeps trying to become the main hero, fails miserably, but learns to be an ally to the cause instead. The Seer of Space became a cowboy with the Knight of Rage basically being the Hulk, and the Mage of Time working from the shadows. At the end the Sylph of Void becomes the main villain and the Bard of Heart and Page of Doom, who’d been level grinding, unleash their endgame fraymotif to win the game. Also the psychic powers each player heals ties into their Classpects! The Maid has telepathy, the Page can sense bad omens, the Seer can scan the entire area, the Bard can peer into your soul, the Mage can see all the timelines at once, the Theif can talk to deities, the Knight can manipulate emotions, and the Sylph can tell where hidden things are. (The Mage starts as the one with the best power at first but at the end I think the OP ones are the Page and Maid?)

What do you want me to asses here technically? That’s an interesting like, scenario of a Session, but nothing particularly pops up! It’s plausible, yeah, and you could probably do something interesting with it, but there’s not One Path things could head down, and I’m always somewhat nervous about making it seem like my way of seeing things is the BEST way a story could go down! It’s a good set-up, is what I think, basically.
