i never fucking analyzed the KIDS chumhandles either, i just said mh guess thats what they want to be referred as, might as well let them do what they wanna do.
but now that i THINK about it, it kind of makes sense as to what their personality is gonna be like. especially now that we found out john used to be ghostytrickster (implying he likes jokes and ghost busters). ectobiologist is now just another word play on ghostbusters (but with the now added on easter egg of ‘ectobiology’ we found out).
yeah, so that means the chumhandles have relevance to the characters and its weird that it took me 1000 pages to say “hold on a sec” like wow mack, okay, maybe this was something that should have come up during act 1.
so here it is guys, the big post!
anyways, the kids are easy to identify now. but i dont think it would have been so easy if i analyzed this before i got to know them. tbh, im just analyzing this more for those trollslum guys, bc theres 12 of them and i aint gonna remember which ones which unless i have a little idea as to what they are known as chumhandle-wise. so im gonna answer this question in its ENTIRETY from all that we have seen. bc its CG’s army of bullies, theyre prob all the same, just not on caps lock as much. and as much as i joked about them all being CG, i dont think hussie would do that to us. would be funny, but thats just what john said.
anyways, i still probably should get the kids over with:
its clear dave like rapping and DJ-ing, considering the turntables and has a weird ironic thing, so turntechgodhead fits the bill, and jade loves flowers and can predict the future so gardengnostic also makes sense (bc gnostic means she knows shit) and tentacletherapist is easy bc its cthulhu and rose wants to be a therapist.
okay now that thats out of the way, i want to dive into CG’s chumhandle and leeeets see:
so this is the ones we have seen (so 5 out of 12) and for future reference, i will NOT look up some of the words if i do not know them. in case that spoils me. either the word is not in the dictionary and is only viewed as a homestuck term, therefore if i look it up, i see their character or name something. or maybe the word itself means a spoiler?? so im just going to admit my lack of english skills and say “i have no idea what that means” if it comes down to it.
but by god, without knowing a character these can be hard to analyze. ill still try it out, tho.
CG, our main bully, our first and only troller, the “carcinogeneticist”. this one is easy, you know why? carcino + geneticist is similar to carcinogenic which by definition means “it causes cancer” solely bc i remember that from biology. so my take on it: he’s cancer to me, hes the fucking tumor in a brain. he makes u wanna kys. bc hes insensitive. there we go, figured it out. lets move on.
this... arachnidsgrip... means spider?? maybe they like to bully people by putting spiders on them? yeah.
twinarmageddon.... huh theyre probably a fan of this whole apocalypse business im guessing. they probably are a FANATIC about world destruction. thats my take.
terminallycapricious.... i have no idea. but they probably have a connection with CG because together they make “terminal cancer”.
idk what the last one says... bc idk which ones an a, an o or what.... but i know the last part says aquarium so they probably bring people to the aquarium and drown them just like a bully drowns their victim in the toilet.
cool, cant wait to meet this cast honestly...............
You ever watch the video essay by hbomberguy on YouTube about what's wrong with Sherlock?
Pierce: Yes indeed, and I agree with most of it. Of course, not bashing on anyone who does enjoy it, I enjoyed it when I first watched it but as it went on I started to notice the flaws and they bothered me too much to ignore.
that was the last of the old batch. I’ll be opening up the ask box again at 5 o’clock Eastern Standard time. That’s an hour and 10 minutes from now. Like always, I’ll be closing it again when I get 5 questions. I’ll be sure to make a post about it when it opens too to alert you. good luck!
omg...... im so sorry i missed these!!!! ik its been a few days but i just realized i forgot to post these ones ajshsss man i feel bad :((( but i hella fucking appreciate all those birthday messages from monday
like THANK you so fucking much <3333 holy shit every single one made me smile. only love and appreciation for every single one of you guys :D
I think you forgot BOO RAY from pacey/everglow, unless that was much less widely circulated than I thought.
Everglow was a thing back then? Then again they’re attached to kh13 which was a thing back then so yeah makes sense. You have to remember I came in on the tail end of the era and that I was not the most social internet being then and stuff like this usually only pops up if your friends are sharing it. Wasn’t big into YouTube either. I mostly just kept to myself and browsed deviantart and fanfiction. I mean hell I fricking avoided Roxel somehow.
"Damn it. So 2 living people of the same line can’t be alive at once. Which is why John can touch baby-John, but couldn’t create Dad when Dad was still walking around." I have no idea what you mean by this, but I feel like you might be confusing two different things...? The idea of the Aradia clones is that she keeps time traveling back to change the timeline, and each time results in one more duplicate appearing in the current timeline. Dave has done that twice now himself.
This was discussed further in the discord, she meant how those from doomed timeline are fated to die. It was just awkwardly worded.
What Spender said when he said not to bring yellow items was "my mind is in a delicate balance". Since his color is yellow, a item would cause interference with the connection with his current spirit, or something like that.
Yeah this is sort of being talked about in the discord.
