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.
i miss homestuck

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¿

The Hivebent Number is 612 so their are 12 trolls whose names are 6 letters.
How common was Kanaya's blood color amongst trolls? i can't remember if she was of a rare cast, or the only troll of her kind.
Jade bloods are a rarer caste.
I recently started rereading Homestuck and, well... Is the Egbert family white-coded and mildly racist, or am I reading too much into things like the usage of "octoroon" and the adulation of admittedly racist figures? On a related note, did Hussie later retcon out-of-comic John's mention of the Striders being white, or am I imagining it?

There’s a lot of not so great language used in the first few acts, for example I know the r-word gets thrown around quite a bit. But as Hussie learned and grew so did his characters and such language is used less and less as the story goes on.
As for the Egberts being white-coded, I think you’re reading too much into it or are making presumptions, or maybe I’m not reading in to it enough (I typically take story beats and character traits at face value).
As for your other thing, I have a general rule about not discussing character race, but the bit you’re referring to is still in comic
did you enjoy playing the fist act of hiveswap?

I did! My computer isn’t super good so most of the cutscenes wouldn’t play correctly and it took awhile to get used to the “fighting” mechanics but other than that the game is so good! The art is gorgeous, the music is enticing, the dialogue is fantastic. Act 1′s story itself isn’t that long but it has a lot of replay potential with each item having a unique prompt when used on things, you’re always bound to find something new and something you missed before.
But it also bummed me out because it was so great that now I’m super excited to play Act 2 and that probably won’t be out for at least a few months,
isnt one of the names for the trolls sexual organs nook? is that a thing

Yeah, trolls seem to you it in place of ass in certain phrases so that’s possibly what it means
So what's the plot of hiveswap anyway?
