The whole concept of "trickster" always confused me, even after I re read the comic. Do you think I can get a quick explanation

Trickster (n.) an Easter Egg from an early flash turned fandom obsession turned plot device to get characters where they needed to be

Do you have a picture of Roxy Lalonde calling Jane a tightass in text because I require this for insult reasons

electric-nope

Once here

Four times here

A few times, including a slight extended metaphor here

and another one here

Fun Fact: Tightass is used 15 times in Act 6. 12 of those are from Roxy in reference to Jane, 2 of those are Jane saying she’s not, and the last one is Trickster Jane calling Dirk a tightass.

how long were the dancestors dead

Time isn’t linear in the Furthest Ring. They all died at the same time but they showed up in the Dreambubbles at random. An example being that Aranea has been hanging around the dream bubbles for millions of sweeps while Meenah has barely been there one.

Did we ever get any info on A) What the fuck Grandpa Harley was doing in the Medium B) How the fuck he got an entire spaceship there?

He went there likely to explore and get Jade’s dead Dreamself. He had to have gotten his ship there piece by piece, or he stole one from either Prospit or Derse and gave it a paint job.

do we know when the next hiveswap act comes out yet

We do not. Rumor has it on 11/11 but that’s just a rumor, no official date yet

i was looking at the family chart and it says grandpa harley is mom lalondes adopted father?? can i ask where that happened lol

Ah, yeah, that was me jumping the gun a bit. It’s canon that Mom was raised in Grandpa Harley’s Skaianet building and there was a some evidence pointing at her being raised by Grandpa Harley.

With the release of Hiveswap we see she definitely had contact with Pa Harley but we don’t really have any insight into her life or childhood. But given that we know she lived in the skaianet building even if Pa Harley didn’t have a hand in raising her, he likely had a direct influence on her during childhood.

did you know the /r/hiveswap discord is constantly shit talking you over dumb stuff like mentioning hetero ships? I thought you should know

Thanks but I really did not need to know that

You said that the Trolls weren't cannibalistic and that there were different kinds of grubs. I was always under the impression that all grubs were troll grubs and that they killed them en masse for food, cosmetics, etc. Do you have any examples or statements from the Trolls supporting your stance? Not saying your wrong, just wondering what I missed.

There are a couple different types of grubs.

Here we see an instance of a Grub used as a game

Sollux also has several grubs on his floor that he refers to as games

We can also assume there is also a type of Grub that is used as food, as we’ve heard of Grubsauce, Grubsteak, Grubloaf. We also see Grubpizza in Hiveswap as well as some unnamed grub food left out in Dammek’s hive.

And Then of course there’s Grubs as in Baby trolls and the Mother Grubs

What was honestly the point of the Vast glub being a power? When would that have been a GOOD idea to use???

Well the Vast Glub is just the attack at its most powerful, lesser powerful version could be used to target lowbloods exclusively which made it easier to keep them subservient or to use as a last ditch effort if rebellions grew too out of hand.

I forget, what is the vast glub again?

It’s a psychic attack that Glubglub does when it speaks, it kills pretty much every troll except Fuchsia Bloods
