[morecowbell7]

I suppose I'm making another server ad, since I have 2 now.

Also, I am sorry for tagging so many ships. It's the easiest way for the post to spread where I want it to.

Welcome to The Clown's Cabaret [18+]!! And our new sister server Midweststuck (for midwesterners to possibly make IRL friends and plan meetups)!!

[Art by @matyfunarts]

We are an 18+ Homestuck community focused on a lack of judgment and a space free of minors, discourse, and drama.

Note: This does not mean we condone the creation/spread of illegal content such as fictional CP, nor do we support z00philes or ped0philes. We condemn these things and will have them nowhere near our community.

If you're sick of minors invading the Homestuck fandom, have been burned before for having strange taste, or are just looking to reenter the Homestuck fandom in a safe environment we'd be happy to have you!

TheWertsearch shipping chart

Ver. 1, Act 5.1

Let's get into it!

I've included every Player and a couple of wildcards. I thought about adding minor characters like the Guardians and Exiles, but we don't know too much about their dynamics yet. For what it's worth, I think the first three Exiles would be a cute triad, and might add WQ when we've seen more of her. I don't really ship any of the Guardians, since we know next to nothing about their personalities.

I'm going to mostly focus on potential dynamics. There aren't many canon ships in here, but hopefully that'll change as we move through the comic, because I honestly got pretty invested in some of these while working on this post. Let's dive in!

Hearts

Rose/Kanaya is an obvious lock. I've talked about it before, and my thoughts haven't really changed, so I won't repeat myself here. Their dynamic is great, and it's even better now that we know Kanaya used to idolize Rose. I can't wait to see them talk that one out. At this point, I'm 100% convinced that they should be a couple, and about 90% convinced that it's going to happen in canon. Bring on the #RosemarySweep!

John/Karkat is an intriguing prospect. John's optimism is exactly what a sourpuss like Karkat needs, and their conversations are clearly having a positive effect on him. Conversely, Karkat's decisive leadership style might, in time, rub off on John. The two complement each other well - and since it's clear that Karkat doesn't really hate John, I think they're well-placed for a red romance, rather than a black one.

Karkat/Nepeta has potential. Nepeta clearly sees something in him, and I don't think it's just the 'cat' in his name. They both have a romantic streak, although neither of them seems all that experienced with (concupiscent) romance. I don't know, I just think it might be cute! I could also envision a minor moirallegiance between them. Karkat isn't that hot-tempered, but chilling out with Nepeta and bouncing ships off each others' heads might help him let off some steam.

Tavros/Gamzee would be pretty cute. Tavros is used to being Vriska's punching bag - and, more broadly, he's used to conversations where you're supposed to be punching. Gamzee, too, is frequently insulted, even by people who call themselves his friends. Bring these two trolls together, though, and Alternia's antagonistic social norms completely disappear. They're a breath of fresh air, and I think they deserve a quiet corner in the Veil to play Fiduspawn together.

Terezi/Vriska would make a great power couple, and I want to see them take on the world together - but I don't see it happening any time soon. They both have a lot of growing to do - and besides, I think another quadrant is in the cards first.

Jack/Droog. Yes, really. This one isn't complex, I just think they'd be funny together. Plus, a hot-blooded, stab happy gangster pairs perfectly with a stone-cold, calculating partner. It's like cookies and cream!

Dave/Jade is another one I've discussed before. Jade is playfully, authentically herself, and Dave, who's still treating life like a bit he needs to commit to, might have something to learn from her. There's a real person behind that persona, and Jade likes him.

I'm a Jade/Rose truther - but there's not much to report on this, since the game seems intent on keeping them from interacting much. Hopefully Act 5.2 will see them working together in the Medium, and we can really shine a light on this dynamic.

Gamzee/Eridan was initially a joke ship. Eridan wants a matesprit, but he'd only date a highblood, and Gamzee's the only one without that quadrant filled, so Eridan better learn to ride a unicycle. Except... weirdly enough, it sort of works? Unlike Feferi, Gamzee wouldn't be stressed out by being around Eridan - and despite what you might expect, Eridan doesn't even seem to dislike Gamzee. He opened up to him about Feferi, at least a little - and even slammed a Faygo when Gamzee suggested it. When talking to Gamzee, Eridan wouldn't be able to dance around the point, like he was doing with Feferi and Kanaya. Gamzee wouldn't pick on his 'hints', so he'd have to resort to direct, open communication, which might be good for him. Plus - you can say a lot of things about Eridan, but he sure ain't a quitter. Gamzee's Sopor addiction would annoy the hell out of him, and there's a decent chance he might actually be able to annoy him off the stuff. If we go with the moirallegiance angle, Gamzee would probably leave Eridan too baffled to give into any Alternian bloodlust - and any overblown genocide plans would fly right over Gamzee's head. Wow, this really did start as a joke, but I'm beginning to convince myself. I... guess we'll see what happens?

Diamonds

I'm convinced Kanaya -> Terezi would work. Terezi is violent and dangerous - but unlike Vriska, her violence takes the form of mind games. Kanaya is good at mind games, and I think she'd make an excellent, Machiavellian moirail for Terezi, using ConversationWithAVeryStupidGirl.txt-style rhetorical traps to trick her into good behavior. She could even collaborate with her future girlfriend, Rose, to design clever ways to keep Terezi from getting more of her friends killed. And you know Terezi would love it.

That leaves Vriska unattended. We can't have that, so it's time to make a case for Feferi -> Vriska. I think Feferi would make a lot more progress with Vriska than she ever did with Eridan. The biggest problem with Eridan was that he was insincere - he wasn't honest about his proclivities or intentions, and Feferi was working her ass off just to figure out what he was thinking. By contrast, Vriska is extremely sincere about her emotions - I don't think she can fake a feeling. Feferi will know exactly what she's getting with Vriska, because Vriska will constantly tell her. Feferi could pacify Vriska, I'm sure of it. She's cheerful, persistent, physically powerful, immune to Vriska's psionics, and has killed thousands to feed her lusus. Feferi understands Vriska.

Sollux <--> Aradia is a potential bidirectional moirallegiance. They both have their violent moods, and they know each other well enough to recognize and help each other through them. Aradia could potentially use her necromancy to get the soon-to-be-dead out of Sollux's head - and he might be able to remove Aradia's violent impulses entirely, using his technical know-how to revert Equius' changes and turn her body into a true reflection of her living self. Honestly, they still have a shot at hearts, too - but I think diamonds is the way to go for now.

Feferi -> Equius might work - he'd have to listen to a violet-blood. Plus, spending time with the princess might help Equius learn that the Empire is bullshitting him about the hemospectrum. After all, she's at the top of the totem pole - and yet, she's against a lot of what the Empire stands for. What gives?

Spades

Jack\Lord English was originally just a joke, but I've decided to start shipping it earnestly for shits and giggles - especially since we've learned about kismesissitude, a quadrant they fit perfectly into. Maybe there's more than one reason that Slick was so single-minded about catching the guy.

To be honest, Vriska\Terezi is basically inevitable. There's no way they peacefully talked it out during the session, and now they're stuck on a tiny meteor together. These are resourceful girls - they're probably already plotting their next moves, and they'd be fools not to factor each other into whatever plans they're making. They will come to blows, and then they'll realize how much they're enjoying the experience. I think this will be our first truly balanced kismesissitude, and I'm very interested in seeing where the chips fall.

Clubs

Aradia -> Vriska/Tavros. Someone needs to keep these two apart. Robot!Aradia doesn't have the ideal temperament for auspisticism, but things are far from ideal at this point. She's Tavros' old FLARP teammate, and even in her current state, she's still invested in his well-being. This might also be a way for Aradia to reconcile with Tavros, since it doesn't seem like they've spoken much since they died. What does Tavros think of this new Aradia, and will his opinion change if she starts to intercede against Vriska on his behalf? I want to find out.

Feferi -> Equius/Aradia. This one would be so easy. All Feferi would need to do is tell Equius to back the fuck off, and he'd be obliged to obey. I don't like the hemospectrum, but if we're stuck with it for now, let's at least use it for good, hm?

That's it! It was the first shipping chart I've ever made, and I had a lot of fun with it. I'll be doing this again the next time we 'finish' an Act, and it'll be interesting to see how this evolves over time.

See you next time, for the beginning of Act 5.2!

10, 24, 33, 47, 51 and 69 for the 100 homestuck thing! ❤

10. Ever drank Faygo?

I have! I often buy it when I see it when I'm out and about. I have a favorite flavor, but I forgot what it was xD I know it was orange colored.

24. Least favorite guardian?

Don't dislike any per se, even Bro, because villains and bad people can be interesting characters and I like how that affects Dave's character arc and motivations. (Plus I love me some heartwarming Good!Bro AU's) I guess Alpha Rose is my least favorite? There is absolutely nothing I dislike about her, I've just connected with her emotionally the least. (But I also love the dynamic between Alpha Rose and Alpha Dave.)

33. Favorite pale ship?

Already answered this one!

47. Patron troll? Are you happy with them?

Soooo I always thought that your patron troll was your star sign, but I later learned it's not. Different sources tell me different things, but I always get either Karkat, Aradia, or Tavros. All of which are Very Good.

51. One ship you didn’t like at first, but like now?

Oh, literally like... so many. Too many. Most of them I didn't dislike, I just never thought to like them. Reeeally enjoying flushed NepJade and pitch EquiTav, and pitch FefKat.

There's a whole bunch of others that I didn't appreciate my first time reading hs. I wasn't much of a multishipper back then, so I only dabbled in This Is the Ship I Want To Be Canon type ship rather than enjoying the potential for AU situations or isolated dynamics and stuff. Or even 'I just want them to bang' type ships. Opening my mind more and actually really thinking about other quadrants has helped too.

JohnSol, GamJane, Solrezi, Equifef. And definitely more.

Flushed JaneRoxy? It's not that I didn't like it, it just never spoke to me? But now I think it's hella cute. Pale Cronkri, I suppose. Still not super into them being flushed, but I can enjoy it.

69. Classpects you’ve identified with before?

So, originally I took the Land of Celebration and Bells test and got Maid of Blood back in high school. Close to ten years later I took it again and got Monk of Space. The closest canon class to Monk was Slyph and my 'blood' ranking was only a few points lower than 'space,' so I decided to go with blood since it still ranked high and I'd been blood before. So since then I've been saying Slyph of Blood.

BUT a friend made me reconsider possibly going back to Maid.

And I feel like this was a really good point and it's been on my mind ever since.

100. One popular HS opinion you agree with?

Nooks and bulges! No biological differences between genders. Gender only varies by external expression. Some have fat deposits on their chests and some have less, but it's not dictated by anything related to sex/gender.

(Sorry, I threw this into my drafts months ago and just got around to finishing them now.)
