Forgotten Homestuck Facts

Could the heiress basically just lay low and not challenge )(IC or like do )(IC's powers let her find them or something?

Well all trolls get escorted off planet when they come of age and given how central a figure heiresses are, I’d think it’d be pretty difficult for them to run or hide

How can the plot of Hiveswap happen? Didn't the Trolls featured in Homestuck create the human's universe when they played Sgrub, meaning the universe doesn't exist at to the Hiveswap trolls? Am I missing something?

The Machine that teleport Joey and Dammek also transports them through time. While Hiveswap takes place in 1994 on Earth, on Alternia it takes place an undetermined number of sweeps before the start of Hivebent so possibly anywhere from 7 to 20 or more sweeps.

It's mentioned in the game that there's only 2 fuchsia-blood trolls ( the heiress and )(IC ), but there's been multiple heiresses. Does that mean the time the heiress come to age, she'll get killed??? I remember reading something like that in the comic; something about fuchsia-blood being murderous about their own blood color. (please excuse my poor english)

Yeah, upon reaching adulthood heiresses are expected to challenge the Condesce for the thrown, and Condy usually wins

Don't you feel like Alternia feels more... cruel in Hiveswap than the way they depicted it in Hoemstuck? The way they picture the relationships between lowbloods and highbloods makes it weird to think that the first 12 trolls would've been friends as they were in the comic. Maybe Xefros and Dammek do achieve something in the end of the game

Trizza makes it worse. She runs Alternia with an Iron Fist, she’s much more similar to the Condesce than Feferi ever was. Presumable after she gets killed things chillax a bit.

there does seem to be a cutscene bug in hiveswap, so it might not actually be your computer! :)

Oh! Well thank you for letting me know : )

I looked into it, there’s a subreddit of people sharing what worked and didn’t work for them so it you’re also having this might be able to help

Do we know what "tetrarch" means?

Anonymous

Tetrarch (n.):

one of four joint rulers.
subordinate ruler.

i always interpreted the number as their age, there were 4 kids that were 13, 12 trolls that were 6, and with calliope and caliborn were 11 and there were 1+1 of them

That too, there’s lots of interconnecting thingamajigs in Homestuck

I read somewhere that there were references to Xefros being a Page in the game. Is this true? And if so where can I find the references?

I mean he has that feeble personality that pages are kinda known for having early on but I don’t think there’s anything else.

Homestuck is still here, you can always read it again.

Why is it a thing that a troll's name has 6 letters in the first name and 6 in the last¿

Anonymous

The Hivebent Number is 612 so their are 12 trolls whose names are 6 letters.
