But if you simply confirm established things, you're not building worlds, just bringing existing patterns to a predictable conclusion.īy making such large rules, you're effectively getting stuck with playing with or against the associated tropes.ĪH stated that the idea to build the trolls according the human zodiac stereotypes always struck him as boring, but I think the latest advancements just invented a new form of that problem. When you discover stuff about the real world, you're constantly surprised, because your internal model can't match all the intricacies of reality.
I just dislike the idea of worldbuilding in an established world by simply reinforcing established tropes and concepts, instead of adding new ones. I get the idea that a single character has a connection with time or mind, but what the hell does it mean for a whole cast to have a connection with time ? Not only that, the zodiac signs are also heavily linked to a particular aspect. Instead of being unique characters, the original cast is now just "the most out of the whole ". I mean if psychic powers are so common, why the hell are cobalt blood so low ? With their ridiculously OP powers they could easily rule the world. Even Vriska's spider theme is apparently a cobalt thing now. With Hiveswap, nearly all bronze blood are telekinesists, all indigo bloods are strong as fuck, all powerful gold bloods become helmsmen, nearly all encountered cobalt bloods have psychic powers, etc. But it's all vague, and it kinda needs to be. There are some large rules, like "lowers casts are more psychically attuned" and "higher casts have control-centered powers". When the trolls are shown for the first time, there's a sense of depth to the world. The idea that the 12 beta trolls are archetypes of their cast. Mind you this is not unique to hiveswap, older cannon stuff goes in that direction, I just think it's become more prevalent: Omegaupdate Forums (unofficial MSPA Forums replacement) Homestuck Fan Resources (cosplay, rp and fanart) The Unofficial Homestuck Collection, the best way to read Homestuck and associated works after the death of Flash
