Kingdomstuck Ask-blog!!!

[scribbledkingdomstuck]

Ask-blog info:

HELLO! My name is Jelly. This is an ask-blog for the Derse/Prospit Royalty AU I have been posting about on my main account.

-The AU is mostly centered around the Striders and LaLondes, but you can ask questions for the other characters as well (though some may not be featured).

-I’ll answer practically any ask as long as it isn’t hateful, and will try to add lore/story information. If you don’t know much about the story, go ahead and ask a question in the asks! I also post out-of-character information on the AU on my main art account (@jellysmudge). I will try to draw the replies I give.

How to ask a question:

-All questions should be directed to the ask box, and be sure to clarify which character you are directing the ask towards (e.g., “Roxy, what’s the biggest fight you’ve ever had with your siblings?”).

-If your question isn’t answered quickly, be patient. I am a college student, and interest in Homestuck comes and goes ;-; I will try to have a drawn answer eventually!

More info:

-This AU is also a fanfiction, which is in the process of being rewritten. You can find it here. When chapters are being posted, I will alert anyone who is interested about updates on this account!

-Be kind, but don’t feel the need to be shy. As long as you aren’t asking something gross (Stridercest, etc.) I’d be happy to make an answer for you!

clearly i can talk to you apparently. since y'know. you've decided to take it upon yourself to be mouthpiece.

does the King do much of anything? even if there's something going on, he's still the King, so he has some sort of duties right? or is he in such bad shape those all got delegated onto other people?

DIRK: It can take anywhere from a day to a week for him to sign certain documents, and it is incradibly exhausting. We still do not know if he truly loses lucidity, or if he is simply ignoring us. DIRK: You would be surprised, though. When he can string words together, he still manages to be incredibly intelligent. It is part of what makes him so frustrating. DIRK: Also. You should know, using "clearly" and "apparently" to begin and end a sentence respectively is redundant.

Hey Dave, how do you manage to get out of the castle to play music and stuff while also being Prince of the kingdom?

DAVE: i mean it probably helps me that i have just about the minimum amount of duties as a prince could possibly have DAVE: that amount being exactly zero DAVE: dirk says it has something to do with me being younger or being third in line or something else thats definitely a lie but i know how these things work and i should have way more duties than i do DAVE: not that i should have to explain myself just so you know

[scribbledkingdomstuck]

well then, Dirk, if you're answering instead. you said decades... Do you remember when he changed? Was it just like the snap if a finger, or did he just gradually get "worse"

DIRK: He got better after the first few months, but only to a certain extent. DIRK: Anyways. There's not much more to say about the matter. If you want something from him, odds are you'll have to talk to someone else instead.

[scribbledkingdomstuck]

Bro, where are you?

DIRK: The king hasn't been in his right mind for decades. If you're lucky, he won't respond to you at all. DIRK: If you're unlucky, he'll be a raging asshole. DIRK: It seems you have caught him on one of his off-days.

[scribbledkingdomstuck]

Would you be willing to draw more Jane so we can see what she's up to? :3

JANE: Things have, uhm... change a bit in the last few months! JANE: But there are still some benefits. My magic is stronger now than it ever has been, since I have more time to practice it while healing.

[scribbledkingdomstuck]

What's Jade up to? Do Dave and Rose know her?

JADE: i live with bec in a cabin! its just us right now :/ but thats okay! JADE: i used to live in prospit with my family, but i had to leave! JADE: bec found me:) JADE: now i spend most of my time gardening, at least when its not too cold JADE: i dont think i know anyone called dave or rose? but im sure theyre really nice!!!

(OOC: Jade is prospit royalty, but is on the run for reasons i won’t specify yet. She meets Dave at the end of the first arc, and rose a bit after that:)))

NEW CHAPTER OUT!

a response to the magic ask.

rose... have you begun experimenting?

ROSE: Who’s to say? No matter what I tell you about my magic, you would never be able to know if I were telling the truth.

[scribbledkingdomstuck]

Rose, what kind of majkys can you all do?

ROSE: My visions are unpredictable and inescapably inconvenient. They can be anything, either important or benign, and come on at random intervals.

ROSE: My sister’s magic is, of course, not entirely known to me. The punishment for her powers would be death, even with our royal blood, and as such she tends to only practice while on her own. From what I have seen and been told, however, Roxy is able to make objects vanish and reappear, sometimes in a different place.

ROSE: Roxy and myself are the only Mages I know. I wish there were more people like us, but in Derse, to reveal oneself would be a level of stupidity none would bow to.

(Ooc: Rose does not know that her brothers are magic! Roxy shared the secret of her abilities with Rose after they spent so much time together, but in the chaos of their lives, wasn’t able to tell Dave before they were separated. Dirk and Roxy both know that the other can do magic, and everyone in the kingdom knows that Rose is a Seer. Dave has shown no signs of being magic, but is! Not even he knows it.

Dave has power over time, usually in small moments of time-travel—only a few seconds—but is able to do more later in the story. He can slow and speed time. Dirk is able to feel/see other people’s souls and is able to manipulate them in destructive ways/tear them out like in the comic.)

[scribbledkingdomstuck]

I’d like to hear about Vriska- what is she up to in this au?

(Ooc: Vriska is a pirate! She doesn’t have much of a role in the fic, but she does have a small role as someone who takes bounties and dangerous assassination jobs. She is also a mage, and has the same powers as she does in the comic, with stealing other people’s luck.)

[scribbledkingdomstuck]

dirk! forget about jake! i need to know about jane right NOW! are you two familiar?

DIRK: Jane and I were friends when we were teenagers and went to an academy in Skaia together. It was the same place where Roxy and I met Jake.

DIRK: We were very good friends. That might be why our falling out was so… jarring. It was probably my fault.

DIRK: That was passive-aggressive. Let me try again.

DIRK: It was definitely my fault.

New chapter up! Sorry for lack of art, my math class is rlly killing me rn. But this chapter is finally done!

[scribbledkingdomstuck]

Royalty means you have horses right? dirk do you have any favorites?

DIRK: I have a warhorse called Blue. I’ve had her for years, and I used to spend a lot of time around her when I had less duties. She belonged to an old military commander before she ended up with me.

DIRK: Dave has a horse too, a smaller breed the royal family has had since she was a colt. I’ve caught him sneaking treats to her too many times to count.

(Ooc: Maplehoof supremacy. Also some info on the research I did for this ask: Dirk’s horse is a Shire breed, which are like 64-72 inches tall. The color is specifically called a roan blue, which are absolutely gorgeous).
