#homestuck goldbloods

[chill4234]

Hey does anybody want to hear me talk about my homestuck OCs? All my friends are either offline or non-homestucks and I really wanna talk about my guys.

Especially my goldbloods Meiola and Melito

[4acidstars4]

hey guys check out my goldblood oc(s?) :o)‼️

the girl is amieya and the brother is arthur they are opposites of eachother! amieya is alot happier, optimistic, but alot more meaner and arthur is more quiet, a big crybaby, pessemistic and tries to never get into fights but cause of the shared body and his sister being a lot more well, energetic she has more or pretty much full control of their body, they both suffer from void rot cause they only have enough energy to sustain one troll so they share the energy!!

holy shit??????/pos

Every body needs fucking perceive

The Beforan zeitgeist has a culture of excuses and mis & disinformation that the greater culture's fascist right uses as leverage for their exclusionary politics and fuel for a culture war which gives them an in-road to power, a distraction from scrutiny, and a way to get common people to go against their own best interests. Here are that thing's summerized thoughts on lowbloods. In other words, its the quiet part being said out loud.

rust - inherently stupid and unworthy of any kind of aid or investment. any effort put into educating them will either be wasted or will be pointless in a few years when they die of old age.

bronze - inherently stupid, maybe more than rust, and also unreliable, still unworthy of any effort or investment. predisposed towards addiction and why would you give anything to a population that would just spend it on drugs. Theyre more like animals than trolls, its why they should be excluded from any kind of aid or investment.

gold - intellectually smart but hyper granular, completely oblivious when it comes to any other intelligence, also considered cruel, if they arent high enough grade psionic to be in a psionic training program, theyre considered predisposed to being erratic and self interested and thus are unreliable and unworthy of aid or investment.

lime - emotionally smart, but idiotic when it comes to any other form of intelligence, genetically unstable and prone to mutations, all need special help to cope with the big scary world. any investment directed towards them would be wasted, better to just keep them home instead of sending them to school, cullers.

in other words, the misanthropic tropes are that Rustbloods are only good for uneducated labor, they'll die too soon to be worth investing in, Bronzebloods will spend any money they get on some inebriant and if they aren't inherently stupid they'll end up wrecking their brains for the same end result, Goldbloods are selfish cruel and insular, and Limebloods are "special" not fit for the real world.

It should go without saying that none of these are actually inherent to their bloodcastes and are at best complete and arbitrary fabrications, and at worst founded on misleading data and maliciously ignorant interpolations of the already misleading data.

Rustbloods' naturally shorter lives are far exaggerated due to almost universally getting inferior medical treatment, if any at all, working the hardest jobs, and getting the least compensation. Their trend towards being less educated is a result of their mistreatment, and then their lower education is used to justify the continued mistreatment.

Bronzebloods are about the same, because of their just slightly more favorable treatment compared to Rust, theyre also subject to all of those problems, their unique propagandized issue of drug problems is in reality both overblown and more a repercussion of their place in society. they more or less inhabit an economic hotspot where their prospects are so miserable that they have no hopeful future, but they aren't so under the thumb as to be consistently forced to focus on the uber-short term with no opportunity for recreation. because of all of this there is a real and significant trend towards addiction that has subsequently been exaggerated and integrated into the propaganda of their bloodcaste. the only thing actually inherent to their caste that relates to their stereotyping is the animal communion psionics, which had an outsized representation in bronze communities even before troll eugenic programs focused on delineation isolation and segregation of psionic traits in castes.

Goldbloods are a semi-protected caste due to how critically important their exploitation is to the empire. There are ships that don't have helms, but they're only used in-system, and they're not preferred. they're like crossing the Atlantic, you can do it in a plane or a boat. their extreme psionics are also the result of a eugenics program, in troll genetics most things are, trolls didn't originally have psionic sub-demographics that were truly isolated to a single caste, but its really a different thing entirely for the Goldbloods. It was an effort comparable to breeding dogs for increased maximum land speed. Goldbloods, because of this, have an outsized representation of physical health issues and, of course, of mental illnesses, particularly mood swings, anxiety, and psychotic disorders, and finally, something not dissimilar to human adhd &/or autism. Many of these problems are comorbid with psionics, but its rare to find a goldblood who doesn't suffer from a single one of them. Its something quite similar to the other heavily troll-modified bloodcaste, Ceruleans... Though Ceruleans get far more special care for their unique demogeaphical risks, to the point where its basically a foregone conclusion. Something a Goldblood is ridiculed for is something a Cerulean might not even realize they also do|have|need, just because the zeitgeistic atmosphere around it is so different.

Limebloods... they are a storybook of opression. The rates of education among limebloods are some of the lowest, take out hiveschooling and they Are the lowest. They're a protected caste— universally culled— Their stereotype is of being stupid. Tell me if you think its genetic or not. Emotional intelligence is just about the only form of intelligence that is given any sort of means for them to reach. Non-Psionic Limebloods have no special emotional insight, and those who are psionic, arent suddenly Gondi just cause they have to sift through the emotions of everyone in the room AND their own and then figure out which are which. Their psionics, morso than most other psionics, are totally overwhelming. The reasons that emotional intelligence is more common in those who are psionic is survivorship bias. There is actually a higher rate of mutation in Limebloods... Now that the Lime Mothergrub Program is in full effect. That stereotype— the notion that limebloods are exceptionally unstable, was part of the long term smear campaign enacted by the Empire's control initiative which in part resulted in the LMP. Lime hysterics, Lime mutagenics, Lime retardation, undercut Lime voices and supress new ones. Convince the culture that Limes need intervention. Spin it benevolent and you'll have them under your scalpal in sweeps. You'll get your LMP. The LMP which is a program to systemically remove Limeblood genetics from the pool by only turning in Lime bonded material to one Mothergrub and none other. This has FUCKED the genetics of Every troll which that MG has spawned. Its not as obvious for some, but its the reason there are trolls like Root and Star, if you remember those two. Even beyond all of that, as a lowblood protected caste, the world is made to be scary to them. Because they are coddled and constrained their whole lives, almost universally, they are never told how to function. Not by default. Not how other castes are. Of course they need special help, all castes need special help with caste specific problems, but if you want to minimize special help, maybe raise them like normal fucking trolls. Maybe stop spending effort specifically fucking up Limebloods.

But of course the point isnt Actually any of that. The point is cruelty. The point is control. If you can convince the lowest [coolblood] he's better than the best [warmblood], he won't notice you're picking his pocket.

Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you

In summary, the effects of their societal hardships are propagandized as inherent to their blood color, and then that notion is used to justify the perpetuation of their hardships.

i think these two are some of my top favorite fantrolls :) they're just so stupid cute. The boy with acne's name is Excell and the girl's name is Banana Junior 6000. She's the big, blocky CRT computer monitor you can see Excell riding around on in the first image--listen, people started making robot trolls oc, and hey robots can be ANY shape, even the shape of a banana junior from the old comic bloom county. I love that little guy :) so im stealing him for my fantroll. I DO WHAT I WANT!

More below cut.

Excell's been obsessed with hunting for ghosts for a long time, and he repairs ancient, manual troll technology to do so. The tunnels between the gold city and school are creepy, abandonded, and a perfect place to look. Recently a device he brought back gained sentience, and he's so proud that a ROBOT can develop an identity and personality--though a lot of his friends have pointed out that Banana Junior's behavior is suspiciously more like a troll then a robot. Excell, eager to accept the robot revolution, denies their observations because Banana Junior is literally his best friend and moirail!?! He is dating that computer. It's because he respects its PERSONHOOD.

Excell might seem a bit like a nerd stereotype that you might disrespect but he has complete confidence in his own identity and interests and is a really solid dude. Super talented, too. I think he's pretty awesome, actually. He's also genuinely a very good friend. I like how i built his personality, kinda like a fun blend of concepts around Aradia and Sollux.

He's unfortunately wrong about Banana Junior--that's totally a spirit made of electricity possessing his computer, and toying with him setting off his electronics when he goes ghost hunting. Junior finds playing with Excell way more interesting then look into their own identity, which they don't really remember--they don't want the confirmation that they really are dead.

Fortunately, Junnye is actually still alive, just comatose after going through an intense surgery, the electric energy of her mind astral-projecting from her body. One day, Excell will help her confront who she is and travel back to her body, and they'll continue to live happily as partners.

i wanna say thank you for the lovely attention and comments to my previous girl rupipa! you guys are so sweet! up next is actually one of my favorites, quizik impruv!

[relaxxattack]

can you rant abt hiveswap and how it changes the per-established alternian lore and not in a good way. i hold no stake in this topic but i love to hear about worldbuilding differences and people complaining

oh my god i would loveeee too. well first of all the obvious stuff with how they seem to think the beta trolls were the stereotypes for their caste (NOT TRUE... very very untrue but ESPECIALLY untrue with like. jadebloods goldbloods and purplebloods who seem to get this the worst somehow)

i hateeee how they made jades preppy THATS KANAYAS THING.. AND SHES EXPLICITLY *WEIRD* FOR THAT. they literally mention it like over 20 times how kanaya is sooooo weird for liking fashion and dressing well and then. oh no i guess every jade does that actually whoops sorry! ToT and god do i even need to go into the terrible prevalence of the idea that "jadebloods are typically/instinctively nurturing" when that is textually not the case?

goldbloods all having double horns is not that big of a deal tbh but its really funny to me that they made that assumption when sollux is like. actively called a mutant for most of the comic. "oh yeah hes mutated and weird and fucked up and some of his body parts are doubled (cue dick jokes here)". like that was a thing for sollux but they just decided to say "well actually. thats just how all goldbloods are"

most purplebloods having a "clowny aesthetic" is fine with me honestly since theres an actual Profession of being a subjuggalator and presumably lots of purples are going to be wanting to go into that? but alllll of them being full on juggalo cultists goes directly against canon. its like. the difference between american lawmaking and christianity. yes the separation of church and state is like nonexistent here. but just because american lawmaking is an enterprise controlled by christianity doesnt mean that All Politicians/Cops are automatically christian. and definitely not the same kind of christian?? there are probably agnostic clowns, or clowns who are only into cultism for the aesthetic. even reformist vs. orthodox clowns. they may all be upholding the same systemic white christian status quo, but they doesn't mean they all fit into that niche themselves. if that makes sense?

and of course i've already made a whole post about how i hate the idea that olivebloods are all feral little rogues, since that makes very little sense in canon.

i would really love to do that full stream of the hiveswap and friendsim games just. going through all of their alternian stuff and explaining my thoughts on it and how it relates to canon... i could go on and on about this stuff for ages and get into way more than just caste stereotypes. i think i would need to reread all of homestuck first to make sure i wasnt just pulling shit out of my ass and was truly studied up though, lmao

oh also meenah stuff i 4got to post

[nekropsii]

i am 90% sure the answer to this question is 'spoilers', but why is there no bronze sign in the player group for sovstuck?

That actually has a lot to do with the NPCs… Or, the “Alpha Session” of SVURB. That Kromab, Argebi, was a Knight of Hope… Leading an utterly doomed session. She was more or less a symbol of there being a “missing piece” that basically marked it all dead on arrival. Total lack of harmony amongst those players in every sense, even down to their ages.

She was the Foolish Gold who thought she could make it work. Dense brick of Pyrite that she is.

Poor thing.
