PREFERRED KIDSWAP METHOD

METEOR SWAP: The kids are genetically the same, but go to different homes on the meteor (EX: Rose and Dave are ectosiblings, but the meteor took them to be raised by Dadbert and Mom Lalonde respectively.)

ECTOBIOLOGY SWAP: The kids are genetically related to their swaps instead of their original siblings (EX: Rose Egbert and Dave Lalonde aren't related, but Jade Strider and Dave Lalonde are.)

(ok to rb to add in tags or get a larger sample size!)

Homestuck Kidswap Headcanons

Jade Egbert

Jade loves her dad, but her upbringing left her craving a challenge, causing her to be even more enthusiastic about STEM as well as develop a deep love of soulslikes and notoriously difficult indie platformers.

Jade collects a variety of merchandise, including a solar shield tee shirt,    posters (of course) of Dark Soles, super meat boy and a styrofoam replica of artorias greatsword which she uses in early sburb.

she’s also a dedicated cryptid hunter. Jade keeps a lot of gear in her room for this purpose, such as a camera, a pair of binoculars that blink when they sense movement, a note book full of her findings in scrapbook format, and a flashlight that serves as the second allocation to her strife deck. She doesn’t really believe in that stuff, though, but she wants to so badly! Really, she just wants to be the one to take a semi-famous blurry picture. Is that such a crime?

 Dove Lalonde

Dove is a whole ass trans woman. She wears a shirt with a lemon on it.

She has a less adversarial relationship with her mom than Rose did, but it is by no means healthier. Dove takes an interest in Mom Lalonde’s hobbies (mixology) just as she takes an interest in Dove's. Momlalonde attempts to support Dove’s interest in fashion design by buying her very expensive fitted suits, which is kind of missing the whole point, so instead of being worn, they sit on mannequins in Dove’s room to be used as inspiration or to reference the patterns. She has to hold her mom's hair back at least once a week.

Rose Strider

Rose wears circular shades, dual-wields swords, and has a pixelated Satan on her shirt.

 She is able to compete with Bro head-on in a never-ending game of one-upmanship, much like Rose Lalonde did with her mom, but two-sided this time and much more deadly. Although she’s never won a confrontation, she’s getting closer by the day.

She had a phase where she naively tried to imitate Bro’s style of irony and produced several unfunny and crewed comics, which she is deeply ashamed of and hides under her bed in a safe. Nowadays, she maintains an online cult. None of the other members can tell if anyone else present is there ironically or sincerely. The name of the game is to keep them guessing and create distrust. Rose theorizes that there are four camps her followers fall into.

Those who sincerely find comfort in the community and find the lore fascinating.

Those participating for their own ironic purposes.

A variant on the second camp but instead of actually having their own personas that are made funnier by being in an online cult they’re simply here to troll and hateread, unaware that all the stuff they find the most egregious was most likely posted by those in group number two.

Those who feel the need to “keep an eye on these people”

But the beauty of it is that all these camps look the same from the outside. She keeps a dedicated phone just for the cult, which ends up traveling around the session and into the hands of several characters.

Bro puts her in increasingly dangerous situations beyond anything he has ever thrown at Dave. The house is actually bobbytrapped. This comic by Mmmmalo is a good example of the kind of shenanigans I’m referring to.

John Harley

John basically has no hobbies. John occasionally passes the time by deep-cleaning the entire lab. He has accidentally made dangerous substances on more than one occasion. Now he can do it on purpose if he wants and is really into chemistry. He uses spray bottles.

John lives vicariously through his friends and even entertains the trolls a lot of the time out of boredom, causing him to have a close relationship with Vriska for his whole life that turns romantic over the course of his session. John exclaims in groups of eight, "geeeeeeez!!!" He has no idea she’s an alien, but other than that, he knows pretty much everything about her life and backstory. She pushes him to do dangerous things, even putting Bec to sleep to do so. Because of this, John is able to explore the ruins in their entirety. Even exploring Vale and Skia via the tranportalizers.

He has been awake on prospit for as long as he can remember, but he has no idea that a golden moon where you can see the future isn’t normal, in part because Vriska is very nonchalant about it as well.

Some Panel Edits of some headmates!!!

Dave Egbert - He/They/Code/Creeper

Rose Lalonde- She/They

Jade Harley- Woof/She/Paw/He/It

They're all open to talk about their timelines, btw!!! ..)

[techtakesoff]

in line with the last question (john egbert - what time aspect class?), what would your ideal guardianswap au look like? what classes/aspects would the kids have? i think it’s an interesting concept so i’m curious

Okay. I'm gonna get creative with this because I can.

If you cannot see the image: TL;DR:

Bro Harley

Dad Lalonde

Mom Egbert

Grandpa Strider

As for the kids:

John Harley

Dave Lalonde

Jade Egbert

Rose Strider

My idea for all of this is that they were swapped guardians at birth. If given the correct surnames, we would actually have: John Lalonde, Dave Harley, Rose Egbert, and Jade Strider. But it just didn't work that way. Sburb is funny.

As for Classpects. I'm gonna do something interesting.

The Beta kids will keep their aspects (given by last name, so Rose Strider is a Time player) but will take the classpects from their Alpha kid variants

John Harley: Prince of Space Dave Lalonde: Maid of Light Jade Egbert: Rogue of Breath Rose Strider: Page of Time

Have fun.

Kidswap time!!

Have a Jade Lalonde :3

[disguisedcheezed]

*makes more kidswap but with dirk and john specifically because i have no self control*

[jellysmudge]

Posted this kidswap on instagram and it did fairly well so here it is for tumblr. The strilondes are my favs (no surprise) but especially rose. I might reblog this later with some oher headcanons about how they grew up

[deepsea-horror]

"Can you stop? You're spilling your drink everywhere."

The return of Rose Strider(Dirk-Ways)!

It's not that Rose Strider is in denial or that she believes that the doll is actually her mother- buuuut she does keep complaining about what her "Mom" is doing to her friends, while deliberately leaving out that this is the mom she keeps talking about. While she characterizes the rest of her doll council as entirely subservient to her (especially Jasper who is her right hand man), she characterizes Doll-Mom as a bit of a nag who doesn't understand her or her interests (and then complains about it to her friends).

Doll-Mom's hair is meant to be way smaller since I imagine it's made of yarn like those Raggedy Ann dolls, but I just made em that big for simplicity's sake.

Also guys I finally like drawing again. I changed one thing and it made drawing actually fun for me so I finished this wip I had laying around for forever.

[deepseaspriteblog]

15 sprites of Jane Crocker! I made the above prompt list mostly to motivate myself to sprite for fun more, but hey, if anyone wants to borrow it for themselves, feel free! Just, you know, tag me cause I would love to see 👉👈

For the fanspecies prompt, I made a new fanspecies- Fairy! I hope to develop it more soon. The costume prompt is based on Patissiere Peach from Princess Peach Showtime, and the free space sprite is a resprite on a very early Jane sprite I made.

Been thinking about that one scene where kanaya sees rose for the first time and what it would be like in my swapstuck

[storming-phrophecies]

yo! N30 here!

sharing some mems/swaps from my Rock/Roxy English TL!

Rock/Roxy English (Me) + Rose Harley

Dirk Crocker + Dave Egbert (in system)

Jake Lalonde + Jade Lalonde (in system)

Jane Strider + John/June Strider

Vantas <--> Serket (Virusk/Vriska in sys)

Pyrope <--> Peixes

Zahhak <--> Nitram

Captor <--> Ampora

Makara <--> Megido

Maryam <--> Leijon

Caliborn and Calliope swapped alignments, but not really personality?

Caliborn was still rude and an asshole, but, he helped us Alpha Kids out. He was...actually not that bad in this timeline?

Calliope was...Obsessive over Humans and Trolls? Kind of like Pink + Blue Diamond? Wanting like. a collection of humans + trolls to study them.

I was one of the collection at some point, but, I escaped. So that's why I don't really act like a English-Swap typically would.

the Beta trolls swapped amongst themselves, and same with the Alphas.

Virusk/Vriska was generally pretty cool, and i think was actually friendly with Tavros and Terezi? they'd have to confirm this themself.

i remember either being in a pale or flushed relationship with both Dirk and Jake in this timeline, and having a slightly strained friendship with Jane.

pretty sure JuoStrider was genderfluid??? we actually were slighly closer than Jane and I were.
