We know there are only 12 castes on the hemospectrum, but does that mean there are only 12 different blood colours? Like, could there be different shades of burgundy/bronze/yellow/etc, or does every troll in a given caste have identical blood?

Yes, there can be different shades. The canon fan trolls and some of the Hiveswap trolls have shades a bit different than the main 12.

There is only one HIC, correct? She raised nana, grandpa, Poppop, and grandma?

Ooooh no, I am not opening that can of dirt noodles, pronounce them however you like there is not wrong way

Hello, i am a new reader and i am still trying to understand the storytelling. I mean stuff like how dad throws cakes to john and rose attacking mom or moms kinda weird manners toward rose and stuff. Is it just some comic shenanigans? I dont know? Like the stuff that happens in all those animes and all? I know bros abuse turns out to be actually terrible and how dave talks about it. It just confused me a little. Thanks!

Mom and Dad are just weird that way. They do it to humor or get a rise out of their kids, which isn’t too unusual, they just take it a bit farther

Why was Roxy taken care of by Carpacians?

Because that’s where she lived and there weren’t any people around to do it

That’s a good question and I’m sorry to say I’m not sure. Although probably his Derse self since that’s the team he’s on and that’s the one that woke up when Feferi kissed his corpse

People think the ACT 1 is boring? I was mostly intrigued by the way it was written and the fact there was cake everywhere

There’s a lot of coding jargon and stuff in it that’s very confusing. And it’s set up in a pseudo-interactive style like where it tells you to enter a name for the character but you can’t actually enter a name. Factor in that the narration is constantly “you, you, you, you this, you that” making it seem like you’re supposed to be the character but you’re also a being that’s watching the character? And there’s just so much exposition stuffed in Act 1 which is difficult to get through and there’s not really any connection to the characters at that point to help give you motivation. Going back and rereading Act 1 once I have the connection to the characters and I understand how the story is told and how things work, A+, really funny but the first time it’s difficult for most people to get interested, especially if they’re a poor reader like me. 

tl;dr: the mspa writing style is confusing if you’re not used to it
