on alternia!

dammek’s basement is pretty sparse so it was very quick to get through and didn’t provoke any particular reactions. except that omg xefros is way more subservient than i remember. 

i am SO tempted to choose this option but i am physically incapable of being rude like this, i just can’t.

i love xefros’s room, also xefros himself. no intro panel for him like we got for joey (we didn’t get one for jude either), but he’s clearly into stickball and rapping, as well as his more involuntary interests like butlering. 

this is too cute i just can’t!!!

i have no idea why this is so funny to me

i love sloth lusus

oh, this is totally the globe that she didn’t recognise. grandpa has a globe of alternia! that’s cool!

scurrying around dammek’s house is only illuminating things we already know about alternia and showing the cultural differences between joey and xefros. it’s cute and i like it, but it’s not giving me much to ponder. i really do wonder what it would be like to play this as a complete newbie to homestuck and related properties. 

yeah, now you mention it, the nitrams are pretty leadership-y. 

awwww

okay their meeting is adorable. i have friends who ship them and i think because i sped through the game so fast last time i didn’t quite get it. and i really hope that xefros gets some more assertiveness in act 2 because i don’t gel with his vibes, but i can totally see it.

HOMESTUCK MINNESOTA COSPLAY DISCORD!!!

Hello everyone! So I've noticed that there is a few Homestuck/Hivesswap cosplayers from Minnesota but there's not really a place we can all get together and talk and plan on stuff. I made a Discord if you wish to join it! You don't have to do from Minnesota to join. Minnesota has cons like Anime Detour, Animinneapolis, Meta-con, and Galaxycon!

So for Meta-con this year. I will be hosting two/three Homestuck/Hiveswap panels this year!! We are looking for characters from both Homestuck and Hiveswap!! As of now, we have a Reader, Tegiri, and hopefully a Jane. If you're interested in being a character in the panel. Please dm me on Instagram here. https://www.instagram.com/admiral_kuroga/ Also for the first one, you can also be a Vast Error character! Here is the Discord link and here are the two panels we have planned out so far! https://discord.gg/EfEa2HhMGH

one of my favorite moments from act 1

[laurasauras-reads]

oh my god how did i forget that jude knows exactly what the portal does?! and the key was a. claire’s heirloom, is this what happened to their mum?? or even, is it what happened to jake? i know that he’s always been absent, but given how there’s no pics of the three of them together i had thought jude was too young to know their mum. there’s also the fact that joey has stashed other things in the attic, so the portal isn’t a new feature and it seems like a. claire has been gone for a while. hmmmm!

jaaaaaaaaaake nooooo! this will be your demise, buddy.

first off, stunning. love the design of this thing. there’s not a terrible amount to say because it’s really obvious that there’s two snakes with cherub swirls on them. i don’t know why that would provoke a portal to alternia?

kinda seems like hypnosis juju stuff.

and now we have officially swapped hives!

[laurasauras-reads]

oh no! the face of a boy who just lost his favourite pigeon. i couldn’t get his actual reaction face because it was too quick, but that was Very Horrified. god, he looks so sad :(

the face of a boy whose pigeon is NOT behaving!

finally! a successful pigeon! and a dealt with monster!

i cannot find bread or bread-like things anywhere, going back to the trophy room as i didn’t really explore it properly before.

so at the bottom there’s the black and white dogs, bec noir and PM, and the snake has lord english vibes. in the middle we have a smuppet and a scalemate thing, and is that a dave representation with the sword and the white hair and the red eyes? there’s possibly more going on here, don’t know.

eyyyy

okay i legit can’t find bread. going to have to look at a walkthrough!

omg. like sburb!

aaaaaaaaaa it’s so obvious i feel silly!

okay, key gained, monsters avoided, into the attic!

[laurasauras-reads]

firstly, jake’s thing for blue ladies is hilarious to me. blue lady is actually a slang term for heroin, but i don’t think that’s relevant. i honestly have no idea what this is a reference to, if anyone knows please comment! also i love joey’s reaction to the lamp. fair, honestly.

the kitchen and basement are mostly full of the same “my guardians are inadequate” prompts, which is fair given the circumstances. the basement also had a monster to defeat after switching the breaker to get the power up again. i honestly got too caught up to remember to screenshot!

back in the trophy room and one more monster encounter later, jude remembers that he’s made the puzzle for the attic key unsolvable because he has the necessary marbles. 

why is jude so gung ho about keeping the attic locked? is it because of the portal? maybe he doesn’t know the exact details but jake asked him to keep it secure, that’s definitely something a younger and less jaded kid would take seriously. or he could just like making things impossible to access!

whatever the situation, i love him. SO cute! and on the matter of his being young enough to still look up to his absent pa, he has a not dissimilar speech pattern to jake. 

and immediately after i say that he might not know the exact details we find this. i have played this before, it was just when it came out so a while ago. 

oh homestuck, never change.
