Forgotten Homestuck Facts

So is it true that in the beginning there were only 3 different colors of blood a troll could have, but the number increased through mating or is that just fanon?

I’ve never even heard of that so it’s definitely completely fanon

are you guys members of the hiveswap discord because god damn we could use your shit like every six hours

I don’t use discord. I can’t really do group chats.

Why does Trizza have a different symbol to Feferi and Meenah? did the Pisces symbol just seem out of place in the game?

Anonymous

Only descendants and ancestors share symbols. Trizza simply isn’t related to Condy or Fef

I always assumed that Alternian was identical to English when spoken, since the Trolls and Humans could each understand each other in Homestuck. Doesn't explain how Joey understands written Alternian, tho.

Well all the trolls typed in Alternian in Homestuck too. So this isn’t solely a Hiveswap thing.

is it safe to assume trizza dies at the end of hiveswap?

Even if she doesn’t she won’t have much time after it

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.

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?

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.
