every ask sent asking where posts are delays posts by another five months. this an askblog fanfiction it is really not that deep.

here's all excuses

1. i have carpal tunnel syndrome

2. this is a for fun askblog i update when i remember it exists. its not at the front of my mind 24/7. trollstuck brainthoughts come and go but i do legitimately think about the au all the time!

3. i have carpal tunnel syndrome

4. i have carpal tunnel syndrome

5. my art has changed in the years since i made this blog as well as i have changed as a person so that i focus on trying to make characterization and thematics work, whereas toward the beginning i was definitely not. my art changes have made art pieces take longer to complete nowadays. what would take me an hour to make 4 pieces when i was 18 now takes me 6 hours for a single piece. my output is slower.

6. i have carpal tunnel syndrome

7. carpal tunnel syndrome makes my hands hurt and unable to draw. sometimes i just want to use my limited chance to do art by drawing other things at the time too. for the love of god understand how sending messages asking why i am not updating faster seem somewhat a little cruel to try to force me to update with. stop it.

8. every creative who updates ever has remarked on how much people sending "update when?" makes a creator want to work on updates less. this goes here too. stop!!!!!! stop dming me asking when i will update. stop sending asks when updates will be happening. stop saying ive abandoned the project. i do not want to!! its for fun! let me do this for fun and engage on my own terms and time!

okay thank you.

yes i plan to post on this blog still it's just casual this time and i'll update whenever i feel like lol

Rose seems like she wants to tell us eeeeverything about her ancestor, isn't that right? :)

TT: Typically I would simply mock trolls for not knowing of her at this point, but you're all very special cases. By which I mean, I am very well aware you are not trolls at all, if the others' thoughts are any indication of what you might be. TT: The Glorious Reverend, as they say, is the high leader of the church. To show her esteemed status, and part of her wiling nature in which no one can truly understand why she chooses to do what she does, she chooses not to wear the characteristic facepaint of our caste. I've come to assume this is why I am able to get away with not doing much for my own. TT: All confirmed records of her before claiming the high position are seemingly lost. Unconfirmed wise, there's more to tell, something to do with a male troll of a lower blood caste causing her to change entirely and go down the papacy path, but I would suggest not asking around too much on those. You don't know who would end up in trouble.

[asktrollstuck]

hey jake are you friends with any other jadebloods?

GT: Jadebloods as a caste seem to really prefer staying inside and i seem to be the weirdo among them which is quite funny if you ask me!

[asktrollstuck]

Wait why are your names 4 letters long?

because i dont like changing the names for these aus it makes it more confusing on myself and i tag everything with their regular names anyway

[asktrollstuck]

dirk, can we see your eyes? i need to know which colour is on what side, please and thank you!

[asktrollstuck]

have any of yall ever seen the emperor in real life? pretty intense troll o.O

[asktrollstuck]

does pink dave take fanart?

[asktrollstuck]

roxy and dirk. whats it like being friends with rose and dave? given that they could. well. no point bringing up the obvious as im sure you know what i mean

[asktrollstuck]

I don't know if this was ever talked about, if it was, sorry, but what's the reasoning behind their blood colours?

yeah sure! under the cut (dw it hasnt been asked before)

FOREWARNING: my goal with these blood color choices was to try to pick less common bloodcastes for everyone. this is varying levels of true for everyone.

roxy is a burgundy because... the powers associated with the burgundy caste! i haven't detailed these much so far but i'll update this when i do. it's also partly because i gave dave the pink so it felt appropriate to switch and give roxy the red :)

dirk's a goldie because i think golds are one of the most interesting castes so i felt /someone/ had to be one and dirk felt like a good fit. plus his deal with electronics!

jade... i can't detail much on her right now but i'll say i didn't want to make her a jade because i felt it was too on the nose :) she's partially the reason i came back to this au

jake is a jade because of similar reasons to dirk in that i wanted someone to be jade but i wanted to do something a little different so jake got the role. plus it's funny to imagine him trying to deal with grubs

john's a teal because... well initially jane and john were more interchangeable and jane was a cerulean, i handed john the teal because indigo is a frequent fanon color for him so i wanted to mix it up. plus the concept of nanna as a legislacerator was interesting! no guarantee she will be one though lol

jane originally WAS cerulean in the older version of this au. i don't really find ceruleans super interesting to write anymore and like indigo more, and needed a higher highblood to balance out another bloodcolor change, so jane's indigo!

rose is probably the only one who got a bloodcolor that's popular for her... and yeah it's because i find purple rose fun! she's funny as a clowngirl and i couldn't justify more than one seadweller lol. plus mom lalonde as a purple :)

fuchsia dave! oh boy fuchsia dave. i made a bunch of posts on my main justifying this before i reignited this au. (it's... actually why i came back to this blog and restarted it! its so fun as a concept to me haha) thematically he fits the bill best: he's the only one who'd be down with the killing as an heir, and he has something no one else does! a guardian who would run the troll empire just as harshly as the condesce. this is initially what set him in place as me considering him there. bro strider Would turn this world into a nightmare dictatorship hellscape. Nobody else would be down with the violence and murder to that extent like he was. dave going along with bro's stuff and trying to justify it initially in homestuck is a bonus. he's running this shit worse than feferi.

[asktrollstuck]

Does john pull pranks on the others?

[asktrollstuck]

Dave, have you ever killed a man?

TG: im not usually called out to do any culling but sometimes i gotta do shit to make an example for the empire TG: yknow crush the little guys before they get together and make TG: i dunno TG: a bigger guy?
