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...............
yes! well, sort of. since i wont know which ones long and which one isnt, kallie told me shes gonna warn me in advance on the length bc apparently they vary DRASTICALLY.
keep in mind tho, im not the best to react to videos bc id probably be so concentrated on watching it to not miss out on anything, and therefore probably woulsnt say much but “oh cool”. youd probably just be there watching the video itself. but apparently theres more of those walkaround games in the future, which id be better to react to bc its reading and playing and i can take my time at it! so im probably gonna 100% do a video for those :) but the [S] videos, i feel they would be better off with me watching it first, taking notes on my laptop for ease and then posting it here so i can analyze it better while having all the screen shots available to me.
yeah, i posted a baby pick last time and ik hes not as young as i deemed him to be bc i was exaggerating big time for the *jooookes*, but i still think he’s maybe 10? i guess being the same as the kids makes sense as well but im betting on him being waaayy younger. so 10/11 is my bet. also my littlest brother was very similar with the gruffy edgy insulting boy when he was at that age. but i was also pretty young.
idk what his appearance looks like tho, i lowkey just see a grey screaming text. so personally i think hes that evil kid in elementary school who is popular only bc of his insults but wears gucci merch or whatever the trend was in 2009 for big jock bullies OR hes the emo goth kid with dark eyeshadow, many piercings and has that flat side haircut. either one makes sense... but i really dont know? ive only met him once, i need more to go on. but if he does come back, i will perhaps give you all an update on my view of him.
